I decided to update this early since I might not be able to update it friday. Thank you for last chapters feedback. Recently I started typing 3k but this week I'm busy so this is 2K sorry. Enjoy.
"Marry me," Takumi tells her looking up into her amber eyes.
Misaki is lost for words.
"Marry me," Takumi repeats again.
Misaki composes herself looking away from him.
"Takumi…..I can't."
Takumi feels as though he didn't hear Misaki quite clearly. Did she just reject him? Why would she do that? Is she thinking to only be in this relationship now and not thinking about a future with him? Honestly it hurts to be rejected by her. He slowly gets up off the ground closing the box.
"Why? Why wouldn't you want to marry me?" He asks sadly and for once his voice seems to waver. This is the girl he wants to be with forever.
"Look there's a lot happening right now especially between me and your family and you're still apart of that compan-"
"I know that Misaki. I know but can't you just accept this?" He is practically begging her to accept his proposal. He didn't think it would be this hard.
"Takumi there are somethings you don't know that will hurt you," Misaki says softly referring to his mother. After some careful thought she is done discussing his mother. Misaki won't and shouldn't be the one to explain what happened to the baby. He should hear it from the devil's mouth.
"Tell me. I can handle anything."
He knows she's speaking about his mother but right now he just wants her to accept the ring for their future and so his plan can work.
"Takumi," Misaki tells him in a stern voice wanting him to know it is not something she wants to talk about right now.
"Is this really because of my family or is it that you just don't want to be with me?" Takumi questions seriously. Knowing Misaki that's the last thing she'll want him to say.
"No! How could you say that?" She yelled in anger at his stupid assumption but she did understand where he is coming from. If they're together now and love each other why shouldn't they get married? Misaki sighs. She is the one who's suppose to be angry. "Takumi I really would love to marry you-"
"Then you're accepting the ring?" He asks hopeful that she change her mind.
"No. Just give it a little time. We just got back together and we're both dealing with some things," Misaki answers from a realistic point of view.
"I see," Takumi says opening the box once again, this time he takes out the ring and places it on her finger.
Misaki is surprise by his action. "What are you doing?"
"You didn't reject me so wear this ring and when the moment you feel like you're ready to marry me arrives come to tell me," Takumi states looking at the ring which fits her finger perfectly.
Misaki smiles at the ring. "I will. By the way isn't this the ring from five years ago? How does it fits my hand easily?"
"I had it altered a little," Takumi hugs Misaki tightly. "Now Misa why are you here you early?"
Misaki suddenly remembers the reason for her visit. She moves away from Takumi and smacks him on the head.
"Ow! Misa wait Ow!" Takumi grabs her hands trying to stop her from hitting him. "What are you doing?"
Misaki glares at him regaining her anger. "Where did you go last night?"
Takumi clears his throat awkwardly. "I went to a hotel-"
Misaki's eyes nearly popped out her skull. "You went to a hotel when you were suppose to be here with me!"
He chuckles realising he shouldn't have said that. "That wasn't a good excuse right?"
Misaki starts to hit him again. "You bet it wasn't a good idea. You could've thought of a better answer aren't you suppose to be smart."
Takumi quickly lifts her up bridal style and sets her down on top of his lap as he sits on his couch. Takumi wraps his arms tightly against her waist so she won't be able to move.
"Let me go! I'm still mad at-mhmm," Misaki moans when Takumi suddenly starts to kiss a trail up and down her neck. "Stop doing that pervert."
"Stop doing what?" Takumi asks innocently and continues on with teasing her.
"T-that," Misaki stutters trying to ease herself away from him but Takumi has a tight grip on her. Sometimes he really has a lot of control over her.
Instead of stopping Takumi continues to kiss her further up to her jaws then stopping right at her luscious lips to give her a chaste kiss which starts to turn into something more. Unconsciously Misaki brings her body closer to his as she runs her hand through his golden locks. Takumi on the other hand starts to unbutton her shirt. All thoughts about the argument is long forgotten as Takumi tries to distract her with well his body. Things continue to get heated until-
Knock! Knock!
-Someone is at his door. Just great is what came across their minds.
"Looks like the dinner I ordered is here unfortunately," Takumi says loosening his grip on her a little.
"Unfortunately," Misaki states seeming almost disappointed.
Takumi smirks as he notices that. "You know we can still sleep together tonight."
Misaki blushes all shades of red jumping off his lap. "Of course not you pervert!"
"Tell me Misaki are you really a pervert now? I meant us sleeping as in our eyes closed," Takumi stands up with a sly smirk on his face to go pay for the food.
Misaki watches him go pay for their food. How can she be a pervert? He knows he isn't talking about sleeping with our eyes closed. She's known him too long to know when he's teasing her. Takumi must think he can be the only to do the teasing.
Takumi makes his way back to her with food in his hands. He sits down next to her not knowing Misaki's little plan.
"I bought us some chicke-"
It takes Misaki a lot of courage to do what she's about to do. She has to get over all the embarrassment and just do this. She takes a deep breathe and sits on his lap once again.
"About earlier, what if I don't want us to sleep?" She says as seductively as she can. Misaki smiles when she sees the blush on his face. He tries to cover it up. "Your really cute when you blush Takumi."
Takumi calms down his body and stares into her eyes. "I'll make that wish come through."
"Wait Usui-"
"Usui? I want you to always call me Takumi. You can't go back on your word but for now let's eat."
What has she gotten herself into?
The next day Misaki goes to work as usual this time not having to worry about where Takumi is as like yesterday. That pervert teased her all night long. Just thinking about it makes her want to go to his work place and beat him up but she'll save that for when she sees him again.
Misaki is walking into her company thinking about the moment Takumi proposed to her. Why didn't she just say yes? She has on the ring anyway so why didn't she say yes right there. They just got back together and he recently found out about the baby plus his family is still a topic to mention. Just thinking about that helps her understand why she didn't say yes.
Misaki pauses her steps when none other than Patricia Walker stands in front of her. Misaki stares at her for a second wondering what she is doing but then doesn't care. She grips her bag tighter and proceeds to walk past Patricia who is about to say something.
"Don't walk pass me. I have something to discuss," Patricia says turning around as Misaki had just passed her.
Misaki stops for a moment. "It seems you may not know but I am done talking to you Patricia. You are not worth my time."
"Apparently you weren't worth Takumi's time as he ditched you," Patricia smirks holding her expensive bag.
Misaki turns around and raise an eyebrow. "Pardon me but he also ditched you that night too."
Patricia frowns. "He will not love you forever I can assure you that."
Misaki chuckles softly. "Oh really? Then why did he propose?"
Misaki holds up her hand to show the ring. Although she didn't say yes yet she promised to wear the ring until she is ready to marry him.
"Why would he? How could he do this to me?" Patricia lips trembles in anger looking at the ring on Misaki's finger. "This is a joke."
"It's not. It's a simple fact that it's time for you to give up and apologise. Takumi will find out one day what you did somehow. He will hate you," Misaki answers seriously. Right now she's considering Takumi's feelings not his mother's.
"Takumi loves me. Before you and after you he will. If he's with you he'll turn out like me," Patricia explains clenching her fists.
"If that's not a reality check for you I don't know what is. I really hope he doesn't end up like you- What am I saying? Takumi will never be like you and the only person who made you like this is you," Misaki says not caring if it's something Patricia doesn't want to hear. "Excuse me but I have work to do. I'll appreciate it if you never show up in front of me again."
"What on earth was that? Who do you think you're talking to?" Patricia feel as though she wants to scream and pull her hair out because of Misaki.
"It's called class something all the money in the world can't buy you and I'm speaking to a nobody," Misaki tells her with a cold glare.
"You commoner-"
"Commoner is used too much. Ah! You used to hang around a butler before I thought you would've been more kinder right?"
Patricia is lost for words and in defeat.
"This isn't over," She warns Misaki.
"Correct. It's begun. But don't walk back into my business unless a I'm sorry is about to come out your mouth," Misaki says starting to walk away. "Good day miss."
As Misaki walks away Patricia pulls out her phone to call someone.
"Hello?" A voice answers.
"Do whatever you want to get my son," Patricia says quickly then hang up.
They'll learn soon enough she's doing what's best for Takumi.
Takumi is inside his office doing some work when his mother angrily barges in.
"Why didn't you tell me you proposed to her?" She asks taking a seat in front of him.
"I didn't get the chance to yet." Why do you hate the woman I love?
"You should've at least told me so I could be the first to congratulate her," Patricia continues.
"Are you mad at me?" Why pretend to like her?
"No sweetheart."
"That's good to hear mother." Stop lying to me.
Patricia tries to hold his hand but he pull away from her.
Takumi looks into the eyes of his confused mother. If I show the world how you really are would you understand I'm doing what's best for you? One way or another mother you'll understand how you've hurt me. You all will.
The door of his office opens and a woman Takumi doesn't know walks in.
Patricia beams in delight. "Oh there you are."
"Who is this?" He asks his mother. Do they know each other?
The woman smiles. "Hi I'm Amy. I'm your new assistant."
That's it for now. Instead of Misaki, Takumi wants to expose his own mother. Seem to be something interesting to read right? Amy is Aiko's friend from chapter 22. Do you think she will be good or bad? Fav follow and review your thoughts. If there is anything you wanna see happen this is your chance to tell me now.
Until next time.
