Chapter 13: Seducing a Narcissist

I always believed in Newton's law of Interaction that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

But now, I doubt that...

How the heck does grabbing a doorknob release my full potential in the art of blushing and keep me feeling this despicable for more than 18 hours...damn you Newton! Why did I agree with him anyway?

Oh Mai, your just blaming someone else from your own stupidity...My conscience says...

"What! I am not" I said childishly.

Oh Mai, but I must say you wasted your opportunity! Considering you were half asleep that time, it would have been a nice excuse to feel his 'masculinity' my conscience squealed like a fan girl fanning herself afterwards with her hand.

"WHAT!" I said...too loud...

"Mai?" the all familiar voice and squeaked

"Naru?"

"Sometimes I worry about you Mai" he said in a mocking tone while passing me and grabbing the cup of tea that I was supposed to bring to him and not fighting with my inner fan girl...not conscience, definitely!

"Jerk! I am not stupid Naru!" I growled

"Oh Mai, believe me, I have experienced so many instances that involves your weak brain activity" he said with his all-Naru-smirk. A smirk that made me blush a million shades of red trying to brush off what 'instance' is he implying.

"And one of which is trying to grab my-"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs with my hands covering my ears. I heard frantic footsteps rushing to where we are.

"Mai what the hell!" Lin said with worry etching on his face. He was probably trying to be Sherlock Holmes trying to piece together our expressions : me, all lady red with hands covering my ears and Naru who seems to find the cupboard interesting.

"Uhhh...I-I better call the others and remind them in case they forgot!" I ran for the phone pushing past dumbfounded Lin dialled like my life depends on it.

¬Meanwhile¬

¬Naru's POV

"What did you do?" Lin asked his face impassive but his eyes full of amusement.

"Nothing..." I said with a serious face, but he didn't buy it.

"Taniyama-san never calls to remind someone about their meetings" he deadpanned,

"So you're blaming me for her uncommon behaviour? I said dryly

"Seems to me like you're enjoying it anyway. Just hope it won't back fire you..." he said with a smirk then left me smirking slightly to myself.

Hell yeah I'm enjoying it! And how the hell was it going to back fire me anyway, especially since it's Mai we are talking about here. My grin even got wider.

But then AGAIN, I should've known better...Intractable women...

¬Mai's POV

I just had stay within 10 meter radius away from that egoistic narcissist. I know I made a mistake! Okay, a very disastrous mistake that could lead to scandalous events. GASP! My hands went to shut my mouth even though my mind is the one that's doing the talking. I focused more on trying to make red tea for the overbearing tea-addict I call boss. I collect the teacup with utmost grace and made my way to his 'lair' chin up. Obviously, I am NOT going to let him affect me like a hyperventilating school girl all the time.

"Uh-uh Mr. Davis, this girl isn't going to let you enjoy your amusing show anymore" I slipped into his office and placed the cup on his desk. Without waiting for his reply I just nod curtly leaving the room with poise and sat on my desk to organize some files like a good secretary. I purposely left the door open for Naru to see and where I can see him. Damn bastard! All I could think as I stapled some documents with brute force showing my anger. I took a quick glance at his door and found him reading over some folders BUT oh I can see how his eyes flicker momentarily at my direction and all of a sudden he smirked. HE SMIRKED! I felt a vein popping in my head.

Even a saint's patience has its limits.

Then a very evil though surged through my neurons.

Oh Mai! Shit, should I do it? But that's too brave! Holy cow I took a deep breath it's now or never.

I glanced up and saw him sipping small amounts of tea which made me smirk. This idea although bad keeps getting so damn good. I heard the phone rang. I picked it up from my desk and answered it. As I negotiate with the person I crossed my legs causing my white ruffled skirt to hike up revealing my bare thighs that had not been covered by my knee-length socks. To enjoy myself I took a quick peek at Naru and saw him froze on the spot. I swallowed an incoming grin and tried to play along for a little longer.

"Yes Dr. Hinamori, Shibuya-san has a clear schedule on Friday 2o'clock. Yes, I understand. Thank you Dr. Hinamori" I ended the call and walked to Naru's office carrying a black clipboard.

"Naru, you have a monthly check-up on Friday 2 o'clock" I said just by the doorway.

"hnnn" was his response. Taking it as a yes, I bit the other tip of my pen quite seductively taking note how his breath hitched and scribbled on Naru's schedule.

"What's the schedule on Friday?" I can see him trying his best to regain his bearings. Oh Naru, I've put up with you for so long and you don't know the advantage it brings me.

"You have an appointment with Mrs. Fujiki at 10 am then a check-up with Dr. Hinamori at 2 pm and a meeting with Mr. Rodriguez from Manhattan Publishing company for the publishing of your latest thesis at 3:30 pm. Other than that, your schedule is free; would you like to add something?" I said all trying to be professional. His forehead creased in confusion but amusement was a much more dominant aura.

"None, go back to work" he dismissed me and I went back to my seat with a triumphant grin. Oh I love distracting a narcissist from his reflection. He's still eyeing me now and then and my evil subconscious leaps with joy. I took off by black blazer pretending to be hot by fanning myself and wiping invisible sweat now and then. I was wearing a navy blue sleeveless blouse with white outlines that seem opaque and if you look closer you could see my lacy black undershirt that ends just a few inches below my breast showing some skin contrasting the thin fabric. I deliciously savor the sudden rigid reaction coming from my boss. I rummaged through my now messy desk and accidentally dropped the pen. I hadn't planned this since its going way over the top but I just can't help rubbing salt on Naru's face in an indirect way.

He wants to play mind games, so I'll give him one...

I bent over to reach for the pen allowing him a 3 second view of my cleavage considering the first button of the blouse was open. I hear him splutter his tea and it took all of my will power not to laugh now.

"Naru are you okay?" I quickly ran to his office looking all worried and innocent. He was wiping tea of his mouth and running his fingers through his black locks.

"Yes Mai, more tea" Exasperated narcissists...

"...fuck" I hear him swear quietly in English Oh Naru, I watched too many foreign movies to not know what it means.

As soon as my back faces him I had this very evil grin plastered on my face and whoever might find me now might think I'm unstable and is in need of mental supervision. I guess Newton was right after all, I so got the reaction I wanted. I smirked devilishly

Oh revenge, you are so sweet...

¬Noll's POV

Fuck...oh FUCK! I groaned for the nth time. I ran both of my hands in my hair trying to calm the raging testosterone inside me. I feel a very painful throb in my...nether regions and I began to panic.

Holy shit...holy shit...holy shit.

"Calm down bro, take deep breaths...there in and out...good boy!" I hear my dead twin brother in the back of mind. Though I hate to say he is indefinitely annoying, I do feel a little better now.

"Wow, for the first time in eighteen years my baby brother got a hard o-"

GENE! I scowled not letting him finish the sentence.

If you want to laugh then laugh in the astral plane until you vomit blood and die all over again! I growled, my inner voice threatening.

"Oh, I already did five minutes ago. I swear it was the most painful moments of my spirit life that is second to my death." I can hear the humor in his voice and I drowned myself beneath the clear books and folders stacked on my desk.

"Aww, come on Noll its normal! Pshhh, you just saw the love of your life's cleavage for fuck's sake! I'd be even more shocked if you didn't get a hard on cause she has very illegaly delicious pair of-"

"Fuck! JUST GET OUT!" I screamed meeting the clashing sounds of breaking glass and a very shocked Mai just standing near the doorframe. Incidentally, Lin chose that moment to make his grand entrance.

"Noll! What the fuck is going on out here for chris'sake?" Lin shouted

"Exasperated men..." I hear Mai say in a faint voice when the door opened

"Oops, did we come at a wrong time?" Dad just said from the doorway behind him is the rest of the gang including EPA with intriguing faces. Lin shot me a dirty look clearly saying: We-are-so-going-to-talk-about-this-later. I sighed

"No dad, now why don't we hear about this joint exorcism" I said dryly

A/N: Ok so I know it should be the infamous 'date with Eisen chapter' but as I was writing I just couldn't stop my fingers for writing this. Sorry, I'll try to update before class starts but we have so many projects to consider.

Aaand an extra advertisement!

Chapter 15: Side Story 1: Magnolia Gray

So did I get you all excited? Hehehe

I asked Treelow955 to have the first side story since she's my best buddy in FFN and since I don't own Lia, I asked her to help me build the story line ;D so she deserves big credit.

Oh and I will make a poll about which person to make a side-story with. Or if you just want the convenient way, leave a review. I guess I'll make side-stories every five or ten chapters, depends on my mood *wink wink

Thank you for those who have reviewed. I love all of them seriously, you guys make me happy. And I can't believe so many people are reading this story now TT_TT you guys make me cry.

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
