Making You A Better You
Chapter 6
~Kahoko's POV~
I took a peek at the Ice Prince and saw him still reading through his music sheet. I've been standing here for I don't know how long. When is he sleeping?
I looked at the score I'm pretending to be reading and gave out a sigh. Does this mean I'm going to sleep on the same bed as him? The floor is awfully cold but if that were the case, I'd rather freeze sleeping on the floor than sleep on his bed. He prefers guys over girls so it's fine, he's gay, but I still don't want to sleep with him. It's already worse sleeping in the same room.
After getting tired of seeing the same notes over and over again, I returned the sheet music back to the shelf and took another out. This time the title of the song was Carmen's Fantasy. I got interested in the score and sat on the floor, leaning on the shelf.
~Len's POV~
Isn't she sleepy yet? It's been an hour and a half since she entered my room. Sighing, I looked at her and saw her sitting on the floor, eyes closed. At first I thought she just closed her eyes for a bit but after a few minutes of watching her I realized that she was actually sleeping.
Should I wake her and tell her to sleep on the bed? Or do I let her sleep on the floor? The latter is tempting to do since it's less troublesome.
I took my music sheet aside, stood up and took my violin back to its case, purposely making noise to wake the strawberry girl but she remained sleeping. Not knowing what to do, I stood up in front of her and crossed my arms, tapping my right foot continuously.
Should I call a maid? No, they might tell mother that I'm asking them to take this girl to another room. I'm sure mother would make a big deal out of it. Hmm… if I leave this room someone would make me come back here. I should wake her.
I tapped her shoulder lightly to wake her but she remained sleeping so I decided to shake her a bit… still sleeping. "Hey wake up…" I said but her eyes remained closed. Why won't she wake up?
Why won't you try kicking her, it'll wake her up.
That's tempting.
Kicking her would only cause her pain! That's unkind!
True.
How about harassing her to the point she'll learn not to annoy you.
How can I harass a kid like her? She's not even attractive or seductive in any way.
How about tasting her? She does look like a big strawberry…
Okay, my thoughts are starting to bug me…
Sighing, I pinched this strawberry's nose. After a few seconds, I saw her open her eyes and cough. I removed my hand from her nose and let her breathe. I was waiting for a scolding but it didn't come. I stared at the strawberry and found her in a daze.
"Go sleep on the bed," I ordered her.
I watched her nod and stood up. She suddenly wrapped her arms around my waist without my permission and buried her face on my shirt. Under my nose, I can smell her strawberry scented hair.
This girl is like a huge strawberry… No…
"Get off of me!" I said, pushing her away.
She tightened her arms around me and shook her head.
"Let go!"
"I wanna sleep together"
"Wha-What?" I pushed her away me but she won't let go. "No way in hell would I like to share a bed with you".
As soon as I said that, she pulled herself away me, clutching my arms, and looked at me straight in the eyes. Her golden orbs were shining from the tears she seemed to struggle not to shed. She wore a sad expression that made me feel guilty for no reason.
Isn't it logical that she should not sleep with a guy on the same bed, especially when she doesn't know the guy fully well?
"Don't leave me", she said, which didn't made sense to me. She started crying silently, hands trembling, still not looking away from me.
Hating the stares I'm receiving from her, I diverted my gaze at another direction. "Don't be stupid," I said, shoving her hands away from me.
I turned around and started heading towards the door.
"Retsu", I heard her whisper, making me stop on my tracks and look back at her.
Why does she know that name? Who is she?
~Kahoko's POV~
I woke up from the smell of pancakes. I sat up quickly and sniffed the air. "Smell's delicious".
I suddenly realized I was on a bed… a really soft bed. I stopped breathing and looked around the room. After seeing no sign of the ice prince and there's no change in anything I'm wearing, I sighed in relief.
I stood up and fixed the bed. "I wonder where he is… oh well. Better leave him alone"
I left the bedroom and followed the pancake scent. It led me to the stairs, the living room to the dining room. On a table was two plates of pancakes and beside them were butter and syrup.
"Would you like some coffee Miss Hino?" a maid asked while entering the room. "Or would you prefer juice?"
"Juice", I answered.
I sat on the empty chair and prepared myself to devour this delicious looking pancakes then I remembered.
"You'll just have to buy me coffee every morning and bring me tea after school"
Do I have to buy him coffee? Maybe I should just make one for him.
I stood up and left the pancake sitting on the plate alone. I wandered around and looked for the kitchen. Once I found the kitchen, I saw a maid and asked where the coffee beans were.
"We have instant coffee", the maid replied as she makes my orange juice.
"Where?" I asked.
"On the cupboard to the right" she pointed. "Would you prefer coffee now?".
I shook my head and started making coffee. "It's for Mr. Ice- I mean Tsukimori," I explained. I poured hot water in a blue mug and started putting some coffee powder. I mixed a bit of sugar and a spoonful of powdered milk. While putting the powdered milk I noticed the maid looking surprised and raise her hands a bit but then left me alone.
I took the coffee and my juice back at the dining room. As soon as I entered the room, I saw Ice Prince about to sit. He looked up to look at me.
"Morning," I greeted.
I only saw him nod as a reply.
"Here's your coffee," I said with a smile and placed the blue mug in front of him.
He stared at it for a while and then said, "I don't want it".
"Eh? Why not? Is it because it's not bought?"
No reply…
"What?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"You put milk in it," he replied.
"So?"
"I like my coffee black"
"It's still coffee! You're so picky!"
"Don't make coffees anymore," he said and stood up. I looked at the table and found nothing touched.
"Aren't you eating?"
He shook his head.
"You should eat!"
"You're damn annoying. You know that?" he said with an annoyed face and started heading out.
"Well, get used to it. Husband," I said, annoyed. Why is he so hard to please? He could at least say thank you but no...
"Husband?" I heard him ask. I saw him looking at me with a questioning look.
Crap… did I say that? "What?"
He glared at me and said, "Just because you slept here and made coffee for me doesn't mean you're my wife neither soon-to-be-wife".
This guy… "Can you just imagine that you didn't hear me? You already broke my heart by not drinking the coffee I made for you!" I said angrily and stomped my way out of the room.
~Len's POV~
If you don't want to hear something from me it's better to have not said a word and left me alone.
I watched her leave the room with her orange juice. Isn't she eating breakfast?
I looked back at the coffee. Pancakes with syrups are already sweet. Making the coffee sweet is like bursting my sugar level up.
I went to school after an hour. In the classroom I found Keiichi Shimizu sleeping on my desk.
"Hey… wake up," I said, shaking him.
Keiichi woke up and looked at me with his sleepy eyes. "Oh… Ren… you're here…", he said, rubbing his eye.
"What is a first year doing in a second year's class?" I asked, ruffling his blond locks.
Keiichi stood up and suddenly hugged me. I saw everyone's surprised expression and some were even giggling and laughing. I ignored them and listened to Keiichi.
"I… can… play it," Keiichi said. "But I'm... not satisfied".
"What do you mean?" I asked, not understanding what he was saying.
"I don't like it…" Keiichi said, pushing himself away from me a bit. "I love… you more". Keiichi stared at me with his serious expression.
"Eh?" I heard someone respond for me. I looked at the person and saw the annoying strawberry standing with a defense position.
This is a great misunderstanding…
LOL Annoying strawberry XD
Wah~ I hope this wasn't boring :) Sorry for the late update!
