Chapter 16: Howalons and Kisses
Normal POV:
"Urgh! I can't believe I have to go out with that jerk!" Mikan said angrily while banging her head on her desk.
"Mikan-chan calm down." Nonoko said.
"Yeah Nonoko's right Mikan… stop it." Anna declared and seated herself on the vacant desk next to Mikan.
"How can I calm down Nonoko, Anna? Those fan girls are driving me crazy!"
"Well you got Hotaru and Natsume sometimes glares at them." Nonoko said.
"Yeah right…"
BANG!
The three girls looked at the door to see who entered the room.
"Hn, c'mon polka time to go home." Natsume said while grabbing Mikan.
"Wha… wait what are you doing here? Didn't you left already?" Mikan asked.
"Nope I didn't left yet… I had to see… never mind. Let's go."
"Fine. See you Monday." Mikan said and waved at the twins and followed Natsume.
"I think they're in love." Nonoko said while smiling.
"Yeah. I think they are." Anna agreed.
Natsume's POV:
I went back to the our classroom after my talk with Ruka and that money freak… I walked silently and remembered what Imai and Ruka advised.
"Hyuuga… "
"What is it Imai?"
"I just want to give you a hint where that baka would enjoy."
"How much do you ask then?"
"500,000 yen."
"Tsk I'd rather figure it out on my own."
"Fine suit yourself… come on Ruka looks like your best friend can handle things on his own."
"Wait…" I called.
"Here's a check… so what is it?"
"You tell him bunny boy."
"Well Natsume… Mikan's good at dancing… and she enjoys ballroom dancing something like that…" Ruka said.
"So now I suggest you take her to the dancing studio your mother owns." Imai said.
"Hn. Fine and I'll consider what you two are suggesting."
I walk away and searched for polka.
BANG!
I opened the door to our classroom only to find polka talking to the twins.
"Hn, c'mon polka time to go home." I said while grabbing Mikan.
Seriously Natsume… why are you taking her home?
To make sure she's safe?... Damn! Since when did I start to care for her safety anyway?
"Wha… wait what are you doing here? Didn't you left already?" Mikan asked.
"Nope I didn't left yet… I had to see… never mind. Let's go."
"Fine. See you Monday." Mikan said and waved at the twins.
We walked directly to my car and I drove off without saying anything to her.
"Ne Natsume? Could you stop by that street? I need to but something."
"Whatever."
I stopped to the street where she pointed.
"What are we doing here?"
"Uh… I need to buy howalons… I'm a bit starved."
"Howa… what?"
"Howalons… you don't know what is that?"
"Duh… would I ask if I knew polka?"
Mikan sighed and puffed her cheeks… she looks like a child… I chuckled softly at her actions.
"What are you laughing at?"
"For your info polka… I'm not laughing just chuckling and could buy those things already I need to go home and prepare for out date."
"Shut up! And it's food genius."
She left the car and headed to the stand selling howalons.
Mikan's POV:
I left the car and went to buy my favorite howalons! Hmmmmmmmmm…. Yum! I missed eating this.
"Why hello Mikan! How many boxes? 2 small ones?" Mr. Han asked.
"Hello Mister Han! Please give me 2 big boxes!" I said cheerfully.
"Two? And you want the big ones? Never knew you could eat that much Mikan-chan."
"Oh this one is for my friend." I said.
"You mean that boy over there?" He asked pointing at Natsume who went out of his black jaguar car… he was leaning on his door and was looking at the sky…
Crap… why does he have to look so… perfect. Wait… what? Perfect… bad thoughts Mikan!
"Yeah" I answered and I could feel my cheeks burning.
"My…my Mikan-chan never knew you had a boyfriend."
"No he's not my…uh boyfriend…. He's just a friend…"
"Ok… but I think you like him. Well here's your order and the other is on me since I haven't see you in a while…" Mr. Han said.
"Mou Mr. Han! Stop teasing me…. and thank you so much." I said.
I paid Mr. Han and went back to the car.
"Finally. Let's go."
Natsume went inside the car and so did I. we reached my house and I swear I saw my mom and dad peeking at the window… urgh…
"What time tomorrow?"
"What?"
"I said polka what time would we meet tomorrow?"
"Uh… I don't know…. It was your idea ."
"Hn fine… 10 am. I'll wait here."
"Wait your fetching me?"
"Yeah."
"Uh… ok… why don't you go inside? Mom will prepare snacks for us."
"Tsk I still didn't say goodbye and you miss me?"
"Shut up! I was trying to be hospitable you conceited jerk!"
Normal POV:
"Tsk I still didn't say goodbye and you miss me?" Natsume asked while smirking.
"Shut up! I was trying to be hospitable you conceited jerk!" Mikan retorted.
Natsume laughed at Mikan … while Mikan just glared at him.
"Here."
"What's this?"
"It's howalons Natsume."
"You brought one for me?" Natsume asked amusingly.
"No… Mr. Han gave that for free."
"Oh… that's why you gave this." Natsume said in a depress tone.
"Fine…. I was suppose to but two… well actually I did… but Mr. Han gave it to me for free."
"So you were planning to buy one for me?"
"I thought you're a genius?"
"Hn anyway thanks polka."
"You're welcome." Mikan said while smiling at him.
Natsume felt his heart beating faster…
Damn… I really love to see her smile like this.
"Well then see you tomorrow. Hug Aoi for me and your parents as well." Mikan said while opening the door.
"Uh… wait." Natsume said while he held Mikan's wrist.
"What is it Natsume?"
"Uh… say hi to your parents for me too… sorry I can't go inside dad wants to talk to me."
"Ok."
"And Mikan?"
"Hm….?"
"Thank you and I'll see you tomorrow." Natsume whispered to her gently and gave Mikan a kiss on her cheeks.
Mikan's POV:
"And Mikan?"
"Hm….?"
"Thank you and I'll see you tomorrow." Natsume whispered gently and gave me a kiss on my cheeks.
Back there… when he called me by my name… I could feel my heart beating… and when he said those words…. And that kiss…
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Mikan is everything fine?"
"Yeah mom… sorry for waking you up."
"Well sleep now… you still have a date tomorrow right?"
"Uhuh… goodnight mom."
"Night sweetie."
Damn… I kept thinking about the kiss….
Normal POV:
Next Morning…
"Mikan wake up it's already 9:20." Yuka said.
"What? I'm still sleepy."
"Mikan SAKURA!" Yuka said in an angry tone.
"Ok… I'm awake now mom."
Mikan took a bath for 20 mins.
Hm… I wonder what should I wear…. Ah! This maybe this one!
After 10 mins. of changing…
"Hey little sis Natsume's here." Tsubasa said while knocking on Mikan's door.
"Coming."
"Natsume… thanks for taking my daughter out…"
"It's nothing uncle… I mean father." Natsume said awkwardly.
"You have to get use to it Natsume… treat as like your mom and dad." Yuka said.
Natsume just simply smiled and gave Yuka a nod.
"She's said she's coming. And you… take care of my sister…" Tsubasa said.
"Tsubasa!" Yuka galred at her son.
"I will…" Natsume said while eyeing Tsubasa.
"Sorry I took so long…" Mikan said while coming down… she was wearing a white miniskirt which was 2 inches above her knees, black sneakers and a baby yellow colored shirt with a hood and her hair was tied up into a ponytail with a gold ribbon.
"Hn, ready? Natsume asked.
"Ready." Mikan answered full of energy.
Mikan bid her parents and her brother goodbye and went inside the car.
"Never knew you have a sense of fashion polka." Natsume said without looking at her.
"I could say the same to you pervert." Mikan said looking at Natsume who was wearing a pair of khaki pants, a navy blue polo shirt and a pair of white sneakers.
"So where are we going first?" Mikan asked.
"You'll see."
Natsume drove to the biggest mall in Japan. He parked his car and gave his keys to the valet.
"Uh Natsume what are we doing here in P.K.N.A. Mall? This mall is super expensive."
"We own this polka… and we're here to buy some clothes."
"You… you own this?" Mikan asked while yelling.
"Geez… lower down your voice polka… and haven't you heard what I said?" Natsume said irritatingly.
"Sorry… and you said we're going to buy clothes? For what?"
"For the party."
"What party?"
"Seriously do you have many questions? And didn't your parents tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"The reason why dad talked to me is to discuss about the party. My parents called your parents last night. Didn't they tell you? The engagement party will be held next week."
"What! We're having an engagement party?"
"Hn."
They entered a store which sells gowns and men's suit.
Mikan was trying different gowns while Natsume was picking his suit. Mikan got out from the dressing room and was about to ask Natsume how she looked when…
"Natsume! You're here. I missed you." Minami Souen exclaimed flirtatiously.
Natsume faced the brown haired girl who had a pair of blue eyes and glared at her.
"What do you want Minami?" Natsume asked coldly.
"My what a way to treat me… haven't you forgotten our 'past?'"
"Shut up… nothing happened to us… you know that! And I'm here with my fiancée."
"Fiancée? Really? Where is she then? Don't tell me that's her." Minami said while pointing at Mikan who's wearing a strapless light blue gown with a matching silver band on her waist.
Natsume stared at Mikan…
She really is beautiful… she really looks like an angel.
"Yeah this is my fiancée." Natsume said while grabbing Mikan's waist.
"Wow… she looks like a maid." Minami said mockingly.
"A what?" Mikan asked again… and trying to hold her temper.
"Minami… watch your words. Don't insult her in front of me you bitch. Now excuse us." Natsume said angrily as he and Mikan left the girl.
Natsume purchased his suit and he also paid for Mikan's gown. They went to the store which sells shoes and sandals for any occasion. Mikan was still choosing her sandals while Natsume went to a jewelry store.
"Good morning young master. Can I help you?"
"Yes. I want to buy an engagement ring and a bracelet."
"Right this way sir."
Natsume selected a white gold bracelet and a silver ring. (I'll describe the bracelet later…and the ring I'll describe it during the party).
"I'll take this one. Thank you."
Natsume purchased the items and went back to the store.
"Natsume I couldn't decide… this is too expensive." Mikan said while returning the gold sandal which had tiny stones on it.
"You like this don't you?"
"Yeah… but I have other sandals and I could look for a cheaper one."
"Hn. But that is the one you like… be thankful that I'm generous today."
"But…" Mikan was about to protest but Natsume called the sales lady and told her that he will buy the sandal.
"Thanks Natsume."
"Whatever."
It was already 12:30 and both of them are already starved.
"Let's go here." Natsume was about to enter an expensive restaurant when Mikan said…
"Not there. I have a better place in mind. Let's go."
"Fine."
They drove off and Natsume followed the directions Mikan gave him… they came across a fast food.
"We're eating here." Mikan said as she got out.
"Here? At KFC?"
"Yes. C'mon!"
When they went inside the people who were eating stared at them.
"Hey is that Natsume Hyuuga? He's so cute… I wonder if she's the next toy." A girl whispered.
"Yeah he's really cute. That girl is very lucky." Another girl said.
The whispers continued but they ignored it and ordered.
"Hello sir, maam may I take your order?" the female crew said while staring at Natsume.
"Uh… 2 bucket of fries 1 large iced tea 1 2pcs. Of chicken I want the spicy one and one extra rice please. How about you Natsume? What are you eating?"
"Didn't you just ordered?" Natsume said while raising his brow.
"Uhm hehehehehe that's only for me." Mikan said while scratching her head.
"I'll have the same thing. Here's the mon…"
"My treat Mr. Egoistical Jerk don't worry. Go look for a seat." Mikan said and smiled at him.
"Tsk. Mocking me polka?"
Mikan just stuck her tongue out at him as Natsume went to look for a seat. They ate their lunch quietly and after that they headed back to the car.
"Are you ready to burn some fats polka?"
"Huh?"
"We're going dancing."
"Dancing? What?"
"You'll see."
Natsume drove off to his Mother old studio.
"Wow! A dancing studio! Is this yours?"
"It's my mom's. She closed this shop when I was born… she wanted to become a full time mom. c'mon."
"This is so cool! Whoa! I've always love to dance… but I never been in this kind of place." Mikan said.
"Why?"
"My parents couldn't afford to let me take proper dance lessons… but I learned it anyway by watching some moves in the net and t.v."
"Well let's see what you've got little girl." Natsume said while smirking.
He turned played the CD and grabbed Mikan's hands and waist.
"Waltz?" Mikan asked as Natsume dragged her to the center of the dance floor.
"Yeah we're dancing waltz… call this a practice for the party too." Natsume replied while smirking.
Mikan smiled at him and danced with Natsume.
(A/n you can watch their dance at this site .com/watch?v=nY0O4JdMv54&feature=fvw and for the music I chose the waltz in Ouran… .com/watch?v=BHxdn8qWAqA).
After dancing….
"I never knew you could dance too Natsume." Mikan said as they drove off.
"Tsk… my mom's a dancer polka a world renowned dancer. It runs in the blood."
"You're so full of yourself… hmph… where's the next stop?" Mikan commented while puffing her cheeks.
"Just wait polka we're almost there." Natsume replied and smiled a little.
Natsume stopped at the park where he and Eris used to hang out… Mikan knew this place and remained silent. They reached the Sakura tree and Natsume sat on one of the swings beside the tree. Mikan sat on the other swing too.
"Eris and I used to play here. This place reminds me of her… I confessed here too." Natsume said while closing his eyes.
"Oh." Mikan was a bit jealous when Natsume said that this place reminded him of Eris.
"And this is where I stayed when she left me."
"You really love her don't you?" Mikan asked while keeping her head down.
Natsume faced at Mikan and smiled at her.
"Yeah I did love her."
Mikan looked at Natsume confused.
"Did?"
Natsume stood up from the swing and knelt in front of Mikan.
"Well when she left me I played with others…"
"Including that Minami?" Mikan asked still looking at Natsume.
"Yeah… but I didn't have any serious relationship. I was devastated about this arrange marriage...but then I've met you… and you made me…."
"Made you what?"
"Made me … feel something again…Mikan I can't promise to love you forever… I still want to clear out my feelings. But as of now I want you to stay with me… would you?" Natsume asked.
"Natsume…"
"I'm not asking for any commitment or anything I just want you to stay by my side. You know like uh… special friends?"
Mikan looked at Natsume… for a while before she answered.
"Tell me first Natsume do still have feelings for Eris-chan?"
"Yeah… a little. But I moved on a bit Mikan…"
"Then maybe we could be special friends." Mikan said while forcing a smile.
I hope we could be more than that Natsume….
Natsume knew Mikan was disappointed by his answer but he still needs time to sort out his feelings.
"Thanks. And close your eyes."
"Why?"
"Just do it polka."
Mikan rolled her eyes but obeyed anyway. Natsume took out the white gold bracelet with 3 angel charms hanging on it, he placed it on Mikan's left wrist.
"Open your eyes now."
Mikan opened her eyes and saw the bracelet.
"What's this?"
"A bracelet… are you really a scholar?" Natsume asked in a sarcastic manner.
"I know it's a bracelet stupid… but why did…"
"Consider it as an apology present. C'mon lets go." Natsume rose and turned his back on Mikan.
"Natsume wait."
Natsume stooped walking and turned to Mikan's direction.
"Thank you." Mikan said and hugged Natsume.
"You're welcome." Natsume replied while hugging back Mikan.
They broke the hug and stayed there for a bit longer… they simply watched the sunset and enjoyed each other's company.
"Thank you so much Natsume." Mikan said as she got out of the car.
"Hn."
"Good night I'll see you on Monday. Take care Natsume." Mikan said giving Natsume a peck on his cheeks.
"Not so fast polka."
"Huh?"
"You don't kiss people like that." Natsume said while his bangs covered his eyes.
"I don't? Then how…"
Mikan was not able to finish when Natsume grabbed her waist and kissed her on the lips. Mikan was shocked but responded to the kiss anyway. They broke off after a few seconds.
"Good night polka." Natsume said and drove swiftly… leaving Mikan blushing.
