Five o' clock…
He's late!
Don't the Taisho men know not to keep a delicate flower- like myself- waiting?
I'm currently waiting for my secret boyfriend of one month, Inuyasha Taisho, to arrive at my two bedroom apartment. He made a date with me, but because of his high status, we have to keep our relationship a secret. I don't mind. It's kinda nice knowing I have him all to myself…
"Hey," a husky whisper said from behind me. I turned so fast a almost gave myself whiplash. There he is…
Inuyasha came around my couch and plopped himself down comfortably. He gave me a kiss on the side of my mouth and I completely forgave him for being late.
"Sorry for being late, Koi. A Parent-Teacher Meeting with Inumaru's Calculus teacher ran late. But, I brought you a birthday cake," he said. Yep! It's my birthday and our anniversary rolled up in one.
I smiled at the small, red and green birthday cake in its small, white cardboard box. I dragged my index finger along the top and placed the icing covered finger in my mouth. Butter crème icing…
"I'm guessing you like it," he said.
"The fact that you remembered my birthday was nice enough. Then, you got me a cake and promised to sped the night. Don't you feel bad about leaving Inumaru alone?" I asked. The sight of a lonely Inumaru at home was somewhat depressing.
"He's with his grandparents. Speaking of them, I think you should meet my parents," he said. I froze and replayed his words in my head. He must really want to be with me for him to want me to meet with his parents. I smiled. He's too perfect.
Just when I was about to get my first birthday kiss, someone knocked on my door. I really wanted to ignore them, but Inuyasha was pulling away. Damn it! Can't they come back later!
He must have seen my frustrated pout, because he smirked and nodded his head towards the door. I groaned and got up. So much for birthday fun…
There were three things I expected to happen when I opened the door.
1. My father bringing over his friends to celebrate me being single. (he doesn't know I'm dating my boss)
2. Inumaru saying he wanted to join the party.
3. Sango saying she felt the baby kick. (She hasn't even finished her first trimester!)
I was NOT expecting to see Kouga, my ex-boyfriend, in a tux and on his knees with flowers and chocolates. My jaw dropped. He was smiling at me. The same smile that made me pity him and finally go out with him.
"Hey, Kaggie," he said softly.
Would I be a bad person if I closed the door in his face? Now that I think about it, do I really care about being nice? This bastard left me in an airport for five hours straight, crying my eyes out! He made me quit my job, sell my apartment, buy an engagement ring (that I still have), get a new apartment, get a job working for the hottest man on the planet, and get the best boyfriend ever…
Maybe he wasn't completely bad…
Kouga stood and held my hands. I still want to shut the door in his face. Maybe I flip him off, too…
"Please don't shut me out. Just listen to me," he said.
Why should I? I kept that reply to myself.
I said this instead, "Did you honestly think that coming here with chocolate and flowers on my birthday would really make me forgive you?" I snapped. Bastard…
"I was just thinking that you shouldn't be alone on your birthday," he said and scratched the back of his neck. Did he think I was gonna sit on my couch and wait for him to come after me?
"I'm not alone," I said.
He looked confused, but let it go. He shoved the half-dead flowers onto me. "You look great, Kagome."
"I think she looks beautiful."
I felt the familiar tingling when Inuyasha got close to me and blushed. I could handle this myself, but it did feel good to let Kouga know I moved from him. I snuck a peek at Kouga's face.
He looked stunned. I would have laughed if it weren't for Inuyasha wrapping his arm around my waist. Now I really felt tingly. Go away, Kouga!
"Who the hell are you?" Kouga asked.
The hall way probably isn't the best place to-
My thoughts stopped when I heard my house phone ringing. My ducked under Inuyasha's arm and went inside. I could hear some mumbled words, but gave up trying to make them out.
Instead, I answered my phone.
"Hello?" I said into the receiver.
My father's smooth voice came out the other line, "Hey Love Bean. Your mother gave Kouga your address. He said he wanted to give you two another try, but don't trust him. Stay strong, Love Bean. He messed up once. How do you know you can trust him again?"
"Thanks, Dad. I'll remember that is that all?"
"For now. Just remember- stay strong."
I hung up after that. What wonderful parents I have…
When I got back to the door, Kouga was gone and Inuyasha was scowling at the chocolates. I took them from him and opened it. Half of them were gone. Kouga ate half of the chocolates and they were my gift. I know Inuyasha didn't eat them. He's allergic to chocolate…
I rolled my eyes.
Why am I getting worked up about seeing Kouga again? I'm perfectly happy with my boss/boyfriend. I read the list of chocolates that were in the box.
Before I could finish, Inuyasha had the box in his hand. He was growling at it. He was just like a puppy.
"What's wrong?" I asked. He was out the door and back before I got an answer. When he came back in, the box was gone.
"There were nuts in those chocolates," he said. I almost cried! He remembered that I'm highly allergic to nuts!
I hugged him so tight a regular human would have died. At least he remembered when the Bastard couldn't…
