Hi! I'm back. It's been awhile hasn't it. Unfortunately, I don't get thanksgiving break since we kind of don't really celebrate it here. November is for our month of Independence, plus I have my exams so bare with me. Also please check out IamGio new story 'Obtainment'.Now after that, let's get on with the story…
Knock! Knock!
Misaki groaned on her bed as she heard a noise coming from downstairs her house but she choose to ignore it.
Knock! Knock!
"They'll probably go away," She mumbled pulling her blanket up to her shoulders getting even more comfortable.
Knock! Knock!
Misaki jumped up from her bed. "Whoever it is, their dead," She said gritting her teeth and stormed down stairs. She hoped this person who interrupted her sleep was ready to deal with her wrath. Misaki pulled opened her door, fuming with anger to see the one and only Takumi Walker.
"W-What are you d-doing," She stuttered shocked. Then her mind went back to two days ago.
2 days ago..
Misaki was sitting at her desk looking at the list of appearances she had to do for the month. This was going to be an extremely busy month for her since she had to introduce herself to the public more. She leaned back in her chair and thought about the charity event and how things were handled with Gerald and Richard.
"Serves them right, wait...Takumi," She whispered remembering that he wanted her to contact him on the day they would meet and where. Misaki pulled out her cellphone to text Takumi.
Misaki: Hi Takumi, we can meet at my house on the 2nd of december if you're free?...sent at 2:54pm.
Takumi: Yes, I'm free Misa chan, can you send me the address later, in a meeting!...sent at 3:00pm.
Misaki: Ok and don't call me Misa chan!...sent at 3:01 pm.
She didn't wait to see his reply since she knew he would just annoy her. Although Misaki went back to doing her work, her mind was still focused on what she would do with Takumi a her house. Oh well, she would have to think of she doesn't forget with her busy schedule.
'Crap,I forgot,' She cursed mentally.
"Seeing as Misa chan is still in her pajamas, I'm guessing she forgot about today," Takumi said putting two and two together.
"Sorry uhmm….could you wait in the living room while I get dressed?" She asked politely, welcoming him into her home.
"Sure," Takumi nodded glancing around her home. If he didn't know she was the CEO of Gold partners, he would have never had guessed it by looking at her house. It was a very simple upstairs and downstairs house, nothing to expensive looking on the inside either. It looked like a house a normal family would have. But then again, Misaki didn't grow up in that lavish lifestyle. She was always saving for her family. At least money didn't change her.
"The living rooms that way, I'll be back quickly uhmm...you can turn on the television if you want," She said quickly and once she was sure he was completely fine she headed upstairs to take a shower.
When Misaki was out of his eye sight she bolted up to her bathroom. "How could I forget about today," She mumbled turning on the water in the bath so it could warm up. She took off her clothes and step into the bath taking a quick shower and then turn off the tap. Misaki brushed her teeth and wash it out with listerine.
She walked out her bathroom and into her bedroom brushing hair, when behold in front her eyes, Takumi was sitting on her bed watching her with amusement in his eyes.
"W-what…..WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE YOU PERVERT!" She yelled enough for her neighbours to hear. Somehow, Takumi turned his back to her and explained.
"I just wanted to know if I could use your kitchen but you were in the shower and I didn't want to interrupt you so I waited in here."
"Oh," Misaki replied a little surprised. She was even surprised that he turned around without saying some kind of perverted joke towards her. Had someone finally slapped some manners into him?
"But I guess it was a bonus to see Misa chan dressed like that."
Guess not.
Misaki rubbed her forehead trying to cool down. Just one minute was all she needed.
"Why are you so quiet? Thinking of how to seduce me?"
That was the last straw. Misaki ran towards the bed and grabbed Takumi's collar and accidentally knocking them both unto the ground. Misaki heard a loud thud as they fell but she felt no pain. She opened her eyes to see Takumi underneath with his hands around her waist, making sure she was safe from the fall.
"Sorry," She apologised trying to pull herself off of him but he wouldn't move his hands.
"Just one moment please, it's been so long since I was this close to you,"He begged.
"Takumi we can't…"
"Sorry, I understand," He said hiding his face with his bangs while releasing her. Misaki got up followed by Takumi. "I'll head back downstairs."
"Takumi wait," Misaki called but he still left. She sighed and decided to get dressed first.
She went up to her closet and opened it. But the big question was what should she wear? She didn't want to dress over the top or too plain. What should she wear today when Takumi's at her home. They were just going to chat and do basic stuff.
Seduce the information out of him but don't sleep with him.
Misaki clenched her fist upon remembering Kou's words. She would dress casual. There would be no seducing today of any sort. She picked out a tank top and a knee length skirt that hugged her lower body. She brushed her hair into a messy bun and looked into the mirror.
"This is a simple outfit right?" She whispered to herself. Misaki moved from the mirror and walked out of her room to go downstairs. As she was coming downstairs, a sweet aroma of food reached her nose.
She followed the scent into the kitchen to see Takumi preparing her breakfast which consisted of pancakes, eggs and sausages. Misaki's mouth watered at the sight of it. She hadn't tasted his food in years and she was delighted at the thought of tasting it again.
Takumi noticed her standing at the entrance of the kitchen gazing at the food and chuckled. "Hurry up Misaki, you don't want your breakfast to get cold," He announced getting her attention.
"Ok," She answered taking a seat at the small table in the middle of her kitchen. She took a bite of his homemade pancakes and she could've swear she saw shooting stars.
"That good huh?" Takumi asked interrupting her moment.
Misaki cleared her throat. "It's okay, you seemed to improved."
"Well thank you Misa chan."
"Hmm.." Misaki moaned taking a bite of the sausages. She glanced across at Takumi to see him staring at her. "What?"
"Nothing, if I didn't know it, I could say you prefer the food over me," Takumi concluded watching her eat.
"How did you know?" She joked.
"Wow, I'm hurt Misaki," Takumi said pretending to be hurt.
"I would choose you over food if you got me something to drink."
"Isn't that nice of you," He said pouring Misaki some drink.
She took a sip of the juice and told Takumi. "It would be nice if you could do this full time," But she instantly regretted saying that.
"Would you want me to be here full time," Takumi asked, this time his tone of voice was serious.
"I-uh."
Takumi chuckled at her reaction. "I'm just pulling your leg, we're just at the friends level right?"
Misaki stared at him in disbelief but got over it. "Yes, you're friendzoned."
Moments passed and Misaki was currently washing the dishes since Takumi had prepared breakfast. She turned to Takumi wiping her hands.
"Ok, so I'm guessing we could watch some movies and order some food later? You don't have to cook again, it's probably best to relax from our workload," Misaki states leaning up against the counter.
"Sure, what type of DVD's do you have?"
"Uhm I'm not sure, I usually borrow some from Kou but I think there should be a couple of them," Misaki explained walking into the living room.
Takumi clenched His fist. Why was she bringing up Kou now? Were they that close outside of business matters to lend each other stuff?
"Come on Takumi it's just DVD's," He mumbles trailing after her.
He finds her on the floor in front the TV scanning through a small set of movies. Takumi takes a seat in the chair near to her.
"So are you and your secretary close?" He asked even though he knew the answer.
Misaki looked to him, standing up with a DVD in here hand. "Yes, I've known him for two years now!"
"Really?"
"Yes uhm….how about we watch the wedding ringer?" Misaki suggested putting in the movie. She took a seat next to Takuni and pressed the play button on the remote. "Should we have gotten some popcorn," She wondered.
They sat side by side each other laughing at the things in the movie, making a few jokes at each other throughout the movie.
Ring! Ring!
Misaki's cellphone could be heard ringing in the other room. She sighed and got up to answer it. This was two times for the day someone rudely interrupted her. Takumi watched her went and get her phone, when just seconds later he hears her running around the house and then he saw her went out through the door.
He was shocked that she left so sudden and turned off the television, then grabbed his keys and locked the door following after her. Takumi got in his car quickly seeing that Misaki had just took off and chased after her. What was that phone call about?
Her car came to a stop at Tokyo Hospital, where she left it in the parking lot and ran towards the hospital doors. Takumi carefully parked his car and rushed into the hospital but there was no sign of Misaki. He walked up to the desk in the lobby but since they can't give out patient information, they made him wait until Misaki approved his visit.
…..
Misaki came back down to the lobby to look for Takumi, who a nurse told her was waiting for her. She spotted him looking in all directions like he was searching for her.
"Hey, I'm sorry about that but you can go now I need to be here for awhile," She apologise. It was her fault that today would be ruined.
"What happened, is everything ok?" He asked very concerned.
"Y-yeah but it's nothing to worry about…"
"Miss Ayuzawa, you took off so fast you didn't look at the papers concerning your mother's health. We've moved her to room 502 but I need to see you in my office ," A doctor said walking up to her.
"I'll be there soon just give me a moment," She replied and the doctor nodded leaving them alone. "I have to go.."
"What's wrong with your mother?"
"Nothing, just leave," She begged of him walking away.
Takumi watched her walk away without saying anything. 'Room 502?' He thought. He left the lobby in search of the room.
'Room 501….502..oh here it is!' He opened the door to see Minako laying on a bed with her eyes closed looking very pale and weak.
"Why is she…."
5 years ago…
"Takumi you either leave that commoner or you'll regret it," Richard warned. He sat face to face with Takumi and Gerald being by his side.
"Just try to get to know her-"
"I don't need to know a commoner," Richard yelled slamming down his crane unto the ground. "Since you won't leave her on your own I'll have to make you leave her."
"What!?"
"I heard her mother is finally getting the treatment she needs, it would be a shame if the hospital wouldn't take her anymore," Richard smirked.
Takumi's eyes widened. "How could you….fine I'll end it with her, are you happy no?"
"Delighted," Richard answered.
"Didn't she get the treatment?" He whispered to himself.
"No," He heard a voice say and he looked to see Misaki. "Her treatment was stopped by the Walker family and over time her condition got worst, she's barely hanging on now. Didn't I say to leave?"
"Misaki I-"
Misaki walked passed him and held unto the door. "Go before I end up venting my anger on you," She said then shut the door.
Takumi stared at the door for what seemed like hours. They had a deal back then to save Minako and yet they lied to him. Why is he surprised? For now, he knew it would be best to leave Misaki alone and so he left the hospital.
….
Later that day
There was a knock on Minako's door so Misaki got up to check who it was. She opened it to see a food delivery guy.
"Delivery for Misaki Ayuzawa!" He announced handing her the food when she told him it was her.
She took the food and saw a note on top that read.
Make sure you eat this and don't skip meals. I'm really sorry, Misaki - Takumi.
She smiled and was about to open up the food box when the door slid open to reveal Kou.
"Walker Inc. destroyed all of Gold partners products when they were being shipped to consumers!" He explained.
"What?" Misaki replied.
