RECAP:
'How can she be different? She's a woman same us others.' Shuuichi asked for he can't find the answer.
'She's different because you're falling in love with her.' The voice answered as if it was the most obvious answer.
'I can't be falling in love with her.' Shuuichi thought with determination. 'She's my way to revenge my father's death and I won't let my plan be ruined by a stupid feeling.' Shuuichi added as he stood up from his bed to go to his study room and start working on the paper works.
'Who are you fooling? Botan is the kind of woman you can't help but fall deeply in love with.' The voice said to Shuuichi.
Shuuichi didn't pay attention to the voice last remark for he was sure that he will never fall in love with a person who's father killed his father.
Shuuichi went to his study room and started work without knowing that he had fallen asleep on his chair with piece of papers in front of him.
END OF FLASHBACK
Chapter Eight: What if I am?
"Hello, earth to Shuuichi." Botan said as she wave her hand in front of Shuuichi's face.
"Sorry, I kind a visited Pluto to see how cold it is." Shuuichi said making Botan laugh "Anyway, will you go out with me today?" Shuuichi added with a smile after Botan laugh subsided.
"I can't, I got to go to work today and I need to go to the company that you father had left for my father before he died." Botan said seriously as she saw Shuuichi's smiling face change but before she could register it Shuuichi's smiling face was back.
"How about dinner then?" Shuuichi asked forcing himself to remain smiling while fighting to control the anger that had suddenly flowed through his body. 'You see, I told you I can't love her and here's my reason.' He told the voice that had bugged him all night.
"Okay." Botan simply answered also with a smile.
"Then I'll drop you off in your office and I'll pick you up later." Shuuichi offered desperate to make Botan like him even more so he can move on to the next step of his plan.
"Okay, but you'll be picking me up on your father's company." Botan said as Shuuichi simply nodded and avoided her gaze.
Shuuichi took Botan's hand and guided her to his car. When they're both settled on his car, Shuuichi started the car and drive towards Botan's office.
"Thanks Shuuichi." Botan said as Shuuichi help her out of his car.
"You're welcome." Shuuichi answered, closing the car door behind her "I'll see you at dinner then."
"Yes." Botan simply answered and walk to the Building's lobby.
Shuuichi look at Botan's retreating back for one last time before getting in on his car and drive toward his own office.
Botan look back at Shuuichi as he started his car and drove toward his office. Botan can't help but to smile for she had a dinner date with Shuuichi later.
BOTAN'S OFFICE…Botan was sitting on her office trying to work but she can't for Shuuichi's image is hunting her.
BOTAN'S POV…'Your falling.' A voice on the back of her head said.
'No I'm not.' Botan replied defensively.
'Oh come on, admit it, you're falling for him.' The voice said not believing Botan.
'No I'm not, so stop it.'
'Yes you are and I know it because everything adds up.' The voice said trying to make Botan see her feelings towards Shuuichi.
'What adds up?" Botan asked curiously.
'You, dreaming about him last night and now, for being occupied by him and the dinner date later that you can't help but to be now also the fact that you like his smile, his touch, his…'
'Okay, fine, I got it. So what if I am?' Botan said finally admitting that she is indeed falling in love with Shuuichi.
'Nothing, but since you had admitted it, I think he felt the same way to you too.' the voice said making Botan think about Shuuichi's action the first time they have met.
Everything was perfect, Shuuichi simply is a gentleman and a handsome and strong one too but then, could you consider love base on a guy's action of being a man woman always dream of.
Botan was left to think about the answer to her question and forget her work that was needed to be done.
END OF POVBotan was still thinking when a faint knocks send her back to reality. She looks at the clock on her desk and was shock to see that she had been thinking for almost 4 hours. Botan then look at her door as it opened and reveal her family lawyer Mr. Ikusawa, who would bring her to Mr. Minamino's company that is called Furuya & Minamino's Enterprises.
"Hey, are you ready to go?" Mr. Ikusawa asked looking at her as he enter.
"Sure." Botan simply said as she arrange the pieces of papers in front of her and stored it back in her filing cabinet while making a mental note to herself to do that tomorrow.
"Do you want to grab a bite for lunch?" Mr. Ikusawa asked looking at his watch that said 12:15 pm.
"That's a good idea." Botan answered getting her purse and walk toward to Mr. Ikusawa as they made their way to his car together.
'I can't believe I spent half the day assessing if what I feel about Shuuichi is love. And the worst part is, what I feel for him is love.' Botan thought to herself as Mr. Ikusawa drove toward an Italian Restaurant for pasta.
SHUUISHI MINAMINO'S OFFICE…Shuuichi was sitting on his office chair looking at Botan's picture that was taken by his hired investigator.
'You're one hell of a beautiful woman.' Shuuichi thought as he put Botan's picture in his office drawer and started working.
