Chapter 10: Boyfriend Girlfriend or Frenemies?

We had finally simmered down after our little "argument" in the park. I guess we really were fighting, as the saying goes, "like a married couple". But we were NO WHERE near that. I still don't even know how he feels about me. I mean….he's not a bad guy….but I wonder if he treats all the girls he knows like this. Well…. The thing is, he's spent the past two days pretty much all with me, so maybe he doesn't go out with other girls. Gah! What am I thinking. It's Ikuto. He's so attractive. Amu! What are you thinking. Only 72 hours ago you hated this VERY boy's guts! Snap out of it! Snap out of it! I really was falling for Ikuto. Everytime he looked at me I would just get lost in his eyes. It was a pool of midnight blue. His I-don't-care-about-anything attitude was just so…just so….I don't even know the word, but whatever it was…I liked it.

"Earth to Amu?! Why do you keep spacing out on me like that? Can you do your deep contemplation at like home when I'm NOT around?" Ikuto snapped with fingers in front of me.

"Huh? I'm NOT contradictory!"

"What in the world are you talking about? I didn't say you were….well at lease…not now I didn't."

"Oh sorry! It's just a habit." I chuckled and faced the other way.

Little to my knowledge, Ikuto had once again picked me up and we were now on the pavement on the outskirts of the park. He put me down so I could walk myself. A half of me was disappointed that he put me down, but the other half was just screaming, "Hell yeah!". I don't know why…. We got to the park and I had no idea what we were doing here.

"Umm… Ikuto? Not that I don't like the park or anything, but why are we here in the first place?" I asked, humbly.

"I need to show you something. Come on." Once again taking my hand and leading the way.

We ventured out of the park and into that convenietnly placed forest there is that has the planetarium and all.

"Um, Ikuto, if we're going to the planetarium…I've already seen it." I said sweatdropping a little.

"No." was his only response.

Wait… did he say no as in like, 'nooooo she's already seen it what am I going to do now?' or, 'no that's not where we were going from the start idiot'. I wonder which it is. It's not like it makes a difference. At lease he had the kind thought of even taking me somewhere. Well…then again…this IS after he burnt my food. Maybe be was just trying to make up for it. But, he made up for it by helping me cook. And he's a REALLY good cook. Arg! I just don't know anymore. Well… I didn't know to begin with, but um….. I'm so confused. So in my mind…. Let's see do I sound better with: AmuxTadase (-__- no) or AmuxIkuto (=) yay) I'm not quite sure. I mean sure… I've liked the Prince for a while now, but there's just something about Ikuto that makes my heart flutter.

"Remind me that the next time I see you to get to a professional and personal therapist." Ikuto remarked.

"Can you stop doing that? I'm not spacing out." I answered.

"Oh yeah? Then what did I JUST say?" he asked me.

Apparently, he was talking while I was thinking. Damn….I guess I do space out a lot. But I'm not admitting it.

"Fine, I wasn't listening. But I wasn't spacing out. I was….umm….Think Amu THINK! Listening to the birds chirp."

"Ah ha…" Ikuto said in a disbelieving voice. I blushed at the thought of him still holding my hand. It was like a repeat of the mall…only this time…it was only us two…in a lone forest…in the middle of nowhere. I wasn't scared. It was Ikuto, and he's always protected me from any danger, even if it meant that he'd get hurt in the process.

We started walking uphill. It was kind of tough. Well… what I mean is… I'd rather not climb up a mountain/hill thing when I could be home, in front of the air conditioner, watching TV, and flipping through a magazine with my feet up on the couch. Nooooo instead, I'm here hiking. But, the thing is, it's ok. The fact that I'm with Ikuto outweighs everything else. Amu….you're nuts for him. Just ask him out already! No! I can't do that! He's 3 years older than me! I mean, If I was 20 and he was 23, it'd be ok, but I'm in high school and he's going to college. Arggg!!!

Ikuto just stopped and turned around.

"Are you ok?" he asked, with genuine concern lurking deep within those mezmerizing eyes of his.

"Yeah, why?" I asked back.

"You seem like you're worn out…." Ikuto said.

"Well I guess I am kind of.." I couldn't finish my sentence because Ikuto was giving me a piggy back ride up the mountain.

Hmmm he must be pretty strong to carry both himself and me UP a mountain/hill (idk mountain or hill…you decide! Tehe)

We finally reached the peak of the mountain/hill and I was breathtaken. There was a huge overview of the city and such a nice cast of the sunny day sky. It was cooler up here than down in the polluted area.

"I found this place while playing with Yoru once, and I guess I just always came back after that." Ikuto stated assuming I'd want to know how he knew about the place.

"It's sooo cooll up here!" I said.

I was once again breathtaken…but this time…literaly. Ikuto had spun me around and kissed me full on the lips. My eyes widened from the startle but then they fluttered closed as I savored the moment. Iktuo broughts his hands around my waist and I did to his neck and tangled my fingers in his soft blue irresistible (sp?) hair. His grip on my tightened as he pressed me up against a tree and pulled away from the kiss. He just nuzzled into my neck and made a "kitty-like" purr noise. So tempting.

"Ikuto….."I whispered.

"Hmm?" He said just holding me up against that tree.

"…n-nothing." A blush was now highly apparent on my face.

Does this mean what I think it means?! Ikuto and I have kissed….TWICE! So does this mean that we're boyfriend girlfriend? GAHHH OMJ (srry for my jonas brother-ness love them!) I must know!!! I must know this istant!!!

"Amu?" Ikuto asked still nuzzling me as I kept my eyes closed.

"Would you like to….." he trailed off.

"Yes?"

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Gahh!!! He asked!!! Now what should I say!!!???

End Chapter 10

SORRY I took so long to get this out. I had a concert last night and didn't get home until pretty late. I have off next week so I'll get soo much more writing done then!

PLEASE R&R ENCOURAGEMENT PLEASE!

Oh! And I need your help! Do you want Amu to say yes or no? Personally I want yes. Also, I need some ideas of what people would like to see/read happen in the story so people reading aren't like… "wow this sucks". Thanks so much for the wonderful reviews!

Also, I have a question to any who knows the answer. If in the document manager it says, 44 days left, does that mean the story itself will be taken off or just the document from my profile. Will the story still stay there?
