~Recap
"Well, I was actually planning to visit Oliver to give him a case, but Eisen, if you don't mind how about a joint exorcism?" Martin offered. Eisen crossed his arms, his other hand tracing his bottom lip and I find it very distracting I looked down and fiddled with my skirt to hide my red cheeks.
Oh come on! What is wrong with me!
"That is very interesting Mr. Davis, I accept your offer" he gave his trademark small smile.
"Well, I look forward into working with you Eisen but now is not the time for all this business, why don't we enjoy what is on schedule for today and leave the details for tomorrow. Oliver, you don't mind using SPR as a venue?" he asked Naru who is indifferent as usual.
"Of course not father" he said dryly.
"Then it's a deal then, now let's celebrate" he raised his glass of wine while the other's followed raising glasses of wine and cans of diet cokes.
Chapter 7: A Talk With Amethyst Eyes...
~Mai's POV
I woke up with a gasp.
I felt something stir beside me and immediately jumped in surprise. I saw a bunch of emerald hair poking out amidst the sea of pandas, polar bears and other stuffed animals and felt relieved. I had that dream again, that woman...
I shuffled out of the bed and tip-toed my way out of Naomi's room. After Naru's parents left, we all retired for the night and since Naomi knew that I'll be leaving the next day, she dragged me to her frilly bedroom and gave me a please-sleep-with-me-tonight-puppy-sad-eyes look that i couldn't resist. I made my way to the fridge and drank some water then sat on the table sighing. My dreams have been very confusing lately, usually it would connect to a case right away, but this one, i keep waiting for a certain case that would click with my dreams. But every time were in a case, my dreams shift into a new one.
I sighed and took another sip of cold water. What is that woman trying to tell me?
I don't...love you...experience the pain that I went through.
"Mai?" I choked on my water and saw a dark figure on the door frame
"Who...who's there?" I swallowed a lump in my throat, my heartbeat going haywire and my voice which attempted to sound strong and threatening sounded like a whimpering puppy.
"Relax, it's just me" the dark figure stepped forward into the dim light of the kitchen and revealed amethyst eyes.
"Eisen" I sighed
"Is there something wrong?" he asked as he walked to the fridge
"Besides waking up from a nightmare and freaked out by a dark figure by the door frame at three o'clock in the morning, nothing's wrong" i said dryly
"Hmmm, nightmare?" he said taking out a pitcher of water and getting a glass to drink.
"Yeah, recently, I'm always having the same dream when I'm not in a case, and...i don't know, it's confusing me" I said softly
"Hmm that's normal, dreams are powerful you see...sometimes they let you be in a certain dimension where the past and the present meet. But don't worry, time will come where you'll eventually understand everything" he said leaning on the counter with his arms crossed and his free hand tracing his bottom lip. I flushed beet red again, the dim background is making it even more distracting, his ebony locks camouflage the surrounding darkness which makes his amethyst eyes sparkle in contrast to the dark light.
"Is there something wrong again?" he said cocking his head to one side.
"You're distracting me" I pointed to his current position and blushed again. Shit! Why am I like this around him! Arghhhh!
"I get that a lot" he smirked and my eyes widened in the slight revelation of his humanity...
"You're not a potential narcissist aren't you?" I said and he laughed softly
"What? That's a very cute way to put it but no, I'm not a narcissist I assure you" he gave me a very amused look and took a seat across mine.
"Hmmm, that's great! I don't know what will happen if there are two narcissists on front of me, since you know, were going to be working together again on the next case...probably lose my sanity?" I joked and he grinned.
"Though I agree with your boss, you have tea to die for" he gave me his trademark small smile and I chuckled.
"Though it won't sound good to have my death certificate read: death by tea-making overuse especially if you and your team will add to my list of tea distribution" I do the fainting gesture
"Well Mai, I suggest you go back since it's nearly 4 in the morning. You don't want your boss to leave you here don't you?" he said getting up from his seat
"I guess I'll take that offer then, and thank you Eisen, I feel better now" I smiled
"It's okay Mai. I'll always be there for you..." he said the walked out of the room leaving me wide-eyed.
Where have I heard that before?
I walked back to the room like I had night vision, easily made it up the stairs without any form of injuries unlike usual especially since I feel dazed.
Eisen...
Surely I have never heard that name before, but I feel nostalgic when I'm with him. My head hit something hard and I just assumed it was the door so lifted my hand in attempt to grab the doorknob but something grabbed my hand that made me look up.
And I am mortified.
"Mai are you sleep walking?" my favourite blue-eyed narcissist said
"Naru! Uhhh no, sorry I-" I blushed hard...as in HARD. When I saw my hand is placed inches below his belt and I realized I was trying to grab a different kind of knob...
OH HOLY $H!T!
"You know Mai, I am amazed at how stupid you can be" he said dryly, still holding unto my arm. I jerked away from him and covered my face in complete embarrassment.
Oh ground, swallow me! Swallow me now!
"Anyways Mai, go to sleep, I don't want you sleeping like a log in the morning or else I'll leave you behind" he ordered me but I already ran for the door like a madman and shut it with an audible THUD! I hid under Naomi's frilly blanket hoping it would give me salvation from the overwhelming embarrassment I am currently petrified with.
The next morning, I definitely would not and could not look at Naru in the face. He did order me to make tea for breakfast, but to hell did I avoid eye contact. I could already see Ayako raising a brow at me and bou-san smirking. Oh Mai, get ready for 'THE INTERROGATION' I groaned audibly which made Eisen look at me questioningly.
"What's wrong? Didn't sleep much?" he asked.
"Uhhh...ye-yeah" I stuttered which made him look morbidly curious.
"O-kay..." he trailed
"Mai" I jerked at the voice I didn't want to hear all morning...or rather until I forget that incident which is highly impossible.
"Y-yes?" I squeaked
"Bring your luggage to the van now, were leaving" and I ran for the stairs and grabbed my trusty sling bag. Turning around I saw a freshly wake Naomi rubbing her eyes.
"Mai nee-chan, you're going?" she said sleepily. I walked to her bed
"Yes, don't worry, I'll visit you someday. Now go back to sleep, it's still early" I kissed her temple and tucked her back into bed and within a few seconds she was fast asleep in no time!
I hugged my aunt and uncle goodbye and walked to the van like a good girl leaving me to suffer sitting between two hot guys in a cramped van and being deadly close to the black-haired narcissist that I almost-
I blushed scarlet again, when I got back to my apartment, my throat was dry and my neck is stiff because I looked down at my lap most of the time and never-ever talked during the 6-hour trip back to Shibuya.
A/N: Wohoo~ It's done! I'm so proud of myself x3
Well, I had nothing left to say than thank you to those five people who reviewed. Well, at least I get five reviews than nothing.
¬Coming up next¬ (Hah! I don't know if there will be another one like this in the next chapter but I'm so inspired today xD)
