"I honestly didn't think that you were a virgin. I mean, I saw you masturbating so I thought, you know…" Ikuto's voice trailed off, but Amu knew what he was talking about all the same.
"That was actually my first time. I had just received Utau-san's contract when a couple of other girls, all receiving their new jobs working for some other guy, came by. They were talking about sex and masturbating. One of them actually turned to me and asked me how I masturbated," Amu spoke softly, a faint trace of pink appearing on her cheeks.
"So you tried it out?" Ikuto asked and Amu nodded in return.
"Yeah… It felt good, but you felt even better," Amu whispered, her cheeks giving off a more reddish tinge which made Ikuto snicker a bit.
"Is that a compliment?" Ikuto asked, leaning his face in towards Amu's.
"Believe what you want," Amu retorted shifting her position so she no longer faced Ikuto.
"Alright, alright! I'll go get started on your chores!" Ikuto spoke into her ear teasingly. After quickly brushing his lips across Amu's lips, he got up, and left the room, leaving Amu all alone. Or so she thought…
~ A few days later ~
"So you feel better now, huh?" Ikuto asked, watching Amu enter the kitchen, all dressed up in uniform.
"I never felt sick or anything to begin with!" Amu reminded Ikuto for what seemed the millionth time, but Ikuto only laughed in response.
"Oh, really?" Ikuto asked, stepping closer to Amu until his forehead brushed gently across hers.
"Mhmm…" Amu responded, pressing her lips against Ikuto's. However, just as she was about to enter Ikuto's mouth, the doorbell rang.
"Oh crap! Bet that's Utau!" Ikuto cursed, tearing his mouth off Amu's and rushing towards the door. Halfway there, he froze and motioned for Amu to open the door while mouthing 'You're the maid.'
Amu simply rolled her eyes and opened the door. Ikuto was right about one thing, standing on the doorstep was indeed Utau, but there was a strangely familiar man with her as well.
"Thank you Amu, what took so long?" Utau asked as she walked inside, the man trailing closely behind her.
"Oh! I was upstairs, doing the laundry, Utau-san," Amu quickly lied.
"So, Utau… Who's that guy? Did you get a boyfriend?" Ikuto asked, a little trace of hope was detectable in his voice. However, that hope was shattered when Utau shook her head and laughed.
"Of course not silly! You know that I love you!" Utau smiled, brushing a few strands of hair out of Ikuto's eyes. This simple gesture of love made Amu's insides burn with rage. She couldn't bear to see her Ikuto with Utau. Ikuto belonged to her!
"Anyway…" Utau oblivious to Amu's anger continued on, handing Ikuto an official looking document."Takurou here wants Amu to be his maid and he's willing to pay us..."
"One hundred million yen?" Ikuto shouted out, unable to contain himself.
"So you agree? Great! Then, it's all settled!" Utau smiled, taking the paper from Ikuto and scribbling her signature on the bottom.
"Thank you, Utau-san. I can assure you that I'll take proper care of her," Takurou responded, a small smile forming upon his lips as well. Then, he turned to Amu and held the paper out towards her.
"You're not being forced to become my maid, Amu. However, if you do, you're pay per week will increase by over five hundred thousand yen," he told Amu, holding the paper out towards her. Amu hesitantly took the paper and pretended to be reading it. Instead, she was debating in her mind about what to do. If she agreed, she and Ami would most certainly be able to fend for themselves. In fact, she could even afford for Ami to have a proper education and great food, too!
On the down side, however, she'd lose Ikuto.
