Misaki has been avoiding Takumi for a couple of days now. Misaki didn't talk to him and Takumi waited for her to make the first move and he also wanted to see how long she can go without talking to him.

It was Thursday and Misaki needed to know if Takumi got the confirmation number of the firefighter suit. She waited until lunch to ask him; in the mean time she did other work.

It was 5 minutes till 11:30 (time for lunch), she got up and walked to his office and knocked on his door

'Come in!' she heard

She opened the door and Takumi was still typing on his laptop and stopped and closed it and looked up and met her amber eyes.

She breathed in deeply and started 'I wanted to know if you got the confirmation number of the fire suits that I sent in a couple of days ago'

'Yah, I got them' he opened his laptop 'do you want to see it?' he typed something into his laptop and looked up at her again; she was staring out the window which was located right behind Takumi.

'Yes, please' she answered after her eyes met Takumi's.

She walked quietly beside and looked at his laptop. It had a wallpaper of scenery of a rainforest. It didn't have many documents and tidy. He opened up the email

'So this is the total' he pointed with his finger

She nodded

'And this is the number of suits' Misaki crouched down at his level to see the screen better

'Okay' she didn't realize how close she was to Takumi. Their shoulders were millimeters away from each other.

'And this is the confirmation number'

'Let me write it down' she was searching for a pen and paper; she stood up and looked around his desk, which was really tidy.

'I'll get it from my offi-' Takumi stood up as well and opened the drawer and pulled out a pen and note pad

'Here' Takumi handed Misaki a pen and a note pad

'Thank you' she took it and her hands brushed his fingers. He was looking at her face and Misaki was too, but immediately she looked down. She bends down and looked at the monitor immediately and wrote it down. She did blush though.

She placed the pen and note pad on his desk and took the note with number on it. She got up and they were really close.

'Uhmm...' Misaki didn't know what to say

Suddenly the door opened up slightly and voice came through

'Usui did you see, Misaki? She is not in her' Sakura peeked her head further in and saw how close Misaki and Takumi were standing

'What in the world!' Sakura yelled and barged in

Misaki pushed Takumi away who chuckled.

'No. It is not like that!' Misaki defended

'Oh, wasn't it Ayuzawa' Takumi said to Misaki quietly

'I am going to kill you!' she said to Takumi then she grabbed Sakura's hand and ran out of the room, leaving Takumi shaking his head at Misaki's actions

When they were out, Sakura blurted out 'So, you guys are dating?'

'Hell no!'

'Then why were you so close to him'

'I was just seeing the confirmation number for the new suits I ordered'

'Was it just that, or was there more...' she giggled

'You have a wrong mind; I don't bring my job into my personal life'

They talked about this for some time before they went to eat lunch, then they dropped the subject when they were at the table.

Misaki was starving. When she was done eating she went to the washroom and went her office and worked.

When it was time to go to Maid Latté, Misaki ran out so Takumi wouldn't follow her and disturb her at the cafe.

She arrived there with no signs of Takumi and she sighed.

'Hey, Satuski-san'

'Hello Misa there will be a meeting at 10, okay, so stay back for a few minutes'

'Sure' Misaki nodded

Misaki entered the customer area in her maid uniform and saw Takumi at a table and her jaw dropped. But she dismissed him from her thoughts and continued to work swiftly. It was 9 pm and Misaki didn't say a word to Takumi or even look at him. There were no more customers other than Takumi. And Misaki was the only maid in the room, standing near the entrance waiting for another customer.

Takumi waved his hand and called over "Misa-chan!'

She walked over in a conservative pattern and said 'How do you know my maid name?' she hissed

'Oh, I asked your manager' he smiled

'You did what!'

'I asked your-'

'Say good-bye to your life because you are going to lose it' she grabbed his collar

'Okay, Misa-chan' he teased and got so she had a better aim at his face

'That is it' she raised her fist, aimed at his face

Subaru walked in at that moment 'Misa, what are you doing?' Subaru yelled

'I am going to kill this perverted stalker!' she said it while looking at Takumi

'Please, no, Misaki!' she begged

Subaru walked up to Takumi and 'on behalf of Misa-chan's actions, I apologize master' she bowed

Takumi then swiftly put one of his hands around her waist and tugged on her hand and she spun into Takumi chest. Now she had her back on Takumi's chest and his left hand was on her stomach and his other hand holding her right arm

He whispered in her ear 'I will be waiting in the alley way for you' and walked out the door grabbing his thin coat without a sound. Misaki didn't even realize that he was gone.

'I think he likes you' Subaru broke the silence

'No, I hate him and he is just perverted!' she stomped back into the kitchen

Satsuki said 'I think we should start the meeting now because there are not going to be any more new customers.'

Everyone nodded

'So we are going to dress up as witches on Monday from the TV show_ (fill in yourself)'

Everybody said 'sure!' except Misaki who hasn't watched the series

'Who hasn't watched the series?'

Misaki was the only who put her hand up.

'Okay, Misa, I will give the cds tomorrow so you can watch over the weekend'

'Thank you'

'Perfect, that is it, time to go home'

Misaki changed out of her uniform and walked into the alley and saw Takumi. He was leaning on the wall

'Well, you didn't object to my instructions' he walked up to her.

'I didn't follow your instructions, this is my usual path' she said with confidence 'it is cold, today' she looked up to the sky and asked Takumi 'Aren't you cold?'

'I think that was the first time you ever cared about someone' they started to walk to Misaki's house unconsciously

'No, I care about a lot of people, like Sakura, Satsuki, Subaru...'

'In that list there were no boys'

'Because I don't care about boys'

'How about me?' he joked

'You, a perverted stalker, never' she laughed

He smiled 'Aren't you old?'

'No, I will not give in to the coldness, I am stronger'

'Oh'

They continued like this until they arrived at her house.

'So this is your house' he pointed
