Bold + Italic + Underline – Gene talking to Mai
LAST TIME
I do love him… I do not want to get hurt anymore… I am tired of this…
Mai, by now you should now that Noll is not someone who shows his feelings freely…
I know… that…
Then do you think it is fair to not give him one more chance?
But…
Naru's POV
I tried to make her stay even though I know that the chance is very low. I listened to her outburst as she shouted everything that she has been feeling and truth to be told, I felt ashamed of myself. I, Oliver Davis, who always takes pride in everything that I have done no matter what it is, have felt ashamed of something that I have done. As I listen to Mai, I heard the door open and Lin staring at us, or more like mainly Mai.
Little brother… you are dead…
…
Dead as in like chopped, skinned, burned, boiled meat…
Just shut your yap…
For once I won't listen and will keep on continuing disturbing you!
Since when have you ever listen to me anyway?
Well… since we were kids?
Funny… can you do me a favor? On second thought, scratch that.
I'll help you convince Mai to stay because I know that you two are meant to be together…
I mentally rolled my eye at Gene. I don't believe in fate.
I know you don't.
I sighed as I stare at my suddenly quiet beautiful assistant.
You finally admit that she is beautiful!
Mai's POV
But what?
I don't want to get hurt anymore… he did it once but how am I supposed to know that he won't do it again?
You should try to understand his situation… ever since we were young, people kept on preferring me over Noll. Girls who claimed to love me even manage to mistaken me for Noll… I still remember that time when a girl confess to Noll thinking that it is me that she is confessing to.
How did Naru react?
Well first he was touched but when the girl called him Gene… well let just say that things didn't get pretty. I felt guilty you know… Don't tell Noll tha I told you this but he also happens to have a crush on the girl…
I see… That must have hurt…
It does… so will you forgive him?
I sighed as I can imagine clearly Gene with puppy dog eyes.
I will… only one more chance…
Wait one last question before I leave you two alone.
Like you ever left us alone…
Do you still love him?
I do… I still love him with all of my heart… I just don't want to get hurt again…
"I forgive you…" I said stoically. He was about to say something which I think is thank you when I cut him off. "Thank Gene. He is the one who convince me… Why don't you want me to leave anyway? You are, after all, going to go back to England…" I enquired with a lifted eyebrow.
He looked away and whispered something that I can't hear. "Pardon?"I questioned. "I love you…" he replied louder this time. What the f- (Ai-chan: Mai, language… watch your language!) What the hell did he just said?
"I know that I am not good with expressing my feelings but… please just give me one chance…" he pleaded. I blushed crimson and averted my gaze before stuttering an answer. "O-okay… o-only o-one c-chance t-though…"
"Are you free my lady?" he said coolly. "My lady?" I queried with a raised eyebrow. "Well you are a beautiful lady. Or am I mistaken?" he asked with a smirk. "… I am free now as you just destroyed my plan… I was planning to go somewhere away…" I whispered the last part with a very red face.
"Then would you go on a date with me?" he questioned.
"Now?"
Nod.
"Just let me get ready…" I said and rushed into my room with a faint hint of a smile.
Ai-chan: Okay… I know this one is shorter that before. So Mai started to smile a little again…
Mai: *surprised* I am?
Naru: Read the last sentence.
Mai: Oh… I am…
Naru: Idiot…
Mai: *glares at Naru with a glare scarier than Naru's* what did you say idiot?
Naru: *still focusing on his book* are your hearing impaired now Mai?
Mai: *punches the Narcissist's head*
Naru: *rubbed his sore head* what the hell is that for Mai?
Ai-chan: *mutters* childish… *faces readers* well please review…
