Nami woke up when she smelled a perfume that she was pretty sure belonged to Law. Opening her eyes, she saw Law put on a black long sleeve shirt on his lean body.

Just when she was about to call him, she stopped, remembering the tension between them. She slowly got up and sat on the bed. She still felt her muscle still trembling.

"You are awake?"

She turned her head to him when she heard his voice. She was almost jumped in happiness but all that halted when she saw his stern expression. She nodded.

"How are you feeling?" He put his hand on her forehead.

"Much better. Are you leaving?" Nami asked.

Law shook his head.

"Don't forget to take this" Law pointed to the pills and glass of water next to the bed.

He then exited the room without saying anything.

Nami just watched him left. She thought he was still upset by the way he treated her. She felt distant at his treatment. But she knew, it was her fault so she deserved that, but still, the fact that Law treated her that way grieved her.

Outside the room, Law clutched on the knob, spacing out. A phone ringing caught his attention. He saw her phone on the table. Heading to the table, he picked it up.

"Hello, Nami-san?" A woman's voice at the other end.

"Yes?"

"Hello? Is this… Nami-san?"

"Yes but no" Law answered spontaneously.

A little paused at the other end before she continued, "May I speak to Nami-san?"

"I'm afraid she can't"

"Why? Is she coming to work?"

"I don't think so. She needs to rest"

"What happened?"

"She falls ill"

"Really? I see… I see… Sorry to interrupt. Anyway, can I come and visit her?"

"Sure"

"Oh… Okay. Thanks, I will come this afternoon"

"Alright" was his short response then he hung up.

Tashigi's expression changed as she looked at her phone.

"Why Tashigi-san?" Vivi asked.

"I don't know but a man answered my call. And he seemed rude too" Tashigi muttered.

Zoro looked up as it caught his attention. In the back of his mind, he thought it was Kidd.

Usopp looked at Zoro when he noticed Zoro's unconscious respond.

"I don't remember Nami-san has a brother" Vivi interrupted.

"Yeah. I remember she said she's staying alone recently. Maybe it's Kidd" Tashigi spoke.

"Can I come along too?" Vivi asked.

"Sure. Why not!" Tashigi smiled. "Sanji-san, you know where Nami-san stays, right?"

"Yes. I can bring you there"

"Zoro-san! Won't you come along?" Tashigi asked.

Usopp darted his eyes to Zoro. When Zoro returned the glare, Usopp shifted his sight somewhere else.

"No. Just go with them" Then Zoro left them.

Tashigi stunned. She looked at Zoro then she followed him.

"What about us?" Luffy interrupted as he snaked his hand around Usopp's shoulder.

"That's fine too. We visit Nami-san all together" Vivi suggested with a smile.

"Zoro-san! Wait!" Tashigi called out for him. She quickened her pace to chase Zoro.

"Zoro-san" she called again.

"What now?" Zoro turned around to face her.

"Zoro-san, why don't you tag along too? I think it will be great if you come and visit her" Tashigi told him.

"Why don't you ask Smoker instead?"

"Zoro-san! You know that Smoker-san isn't here. You are just avoiding"

Zoro frowned.

"Zoro-san, please?" Tashigi begged, "Just this once. And I won't ask you again"

Zoro just watched Tashigi. Before he left he shouted, "Fine".

Tashigi smiled and made a victory gesture before returning to Vivi and the rest.

Nami was sitting, hugging her pillow on her bed thinking about Law. He only showed up to give her medicine and then he left. She didn't even have the chance to speak to him. Nami buried her face in the pillow . She felt like Law was ignoring her even though she was there.

Law was preparing hot soup in the kitchen. A knock on the door had him stopped. He opened the door and saw two ladies and three other men.

"Visiting Nami-ya?" Law raised his brows.

All of them were speechless when they saw Law opened the door. They were amazed when they looked at the charismatic and handsome man in front of them.

"Well?" Law asked again raising his brows.

"Ah… yes… yes…. Um… were you…" Tashigi made a phone signal using her hand.

Law nodded then he tilted his head, "Come on in"

Tashigi was confused. He seemed really different. And polite too.

All of them came inside the house. Law led them to the living room.

"Usopp-san, can you wait for Sanji-san here? Tashigi-san and I will go first" Vivi told Usopp.

"Okay. Leave it to me"

"Um… mister… " Vivi hesitantly asked.

"Law"

"Can we see her, Law-san?" Vivi asked.

Law nodded, "She's in her bedroom" Then he lead them to Nami's room.

She was determined to tell him about her past, about Zoro. She readied herself. She decided, when Law came in, she would tell him everything he should now. Nami felt a strong feeling that she would be able to do that. She was confident. She didn't want to feel the same feeling as being ignored.

A click on the door made her startled. She turned her head to the door and saw Law came in with Tashigi and Vivi. Nami smiled at them.

Law leaned on the wall next to the door.

"Are you feeling okay Nami-san?" Tashigi sat next to her bed. Vivi sat too.

"I'm just catch a cold, don't worry I'll be fine in a day or two" she said and smiled weakly.

"I was so worried. You left early yesterday. You didn't even call or text me"

Their conversation caught his attention. Although he still closing his eyes, his ears still working to listen to their conversation.

"Suddenly I was feeling unwell, so I decided to leave. Sorry for not informing you"

"Usopp-san and the others are sitting in the living room" Vivi interrupted.

"Really? Then, I shall go and see them" Nami turned to see Vivi who sat at the opposite site of Tashigi. Nami's face lighten up.

That's when Tashigi saw mark on her neck. She darted her eyes away and blushed.

Then she turned her head to Law, "Um… is it okay, Tora?" she hesitantly asked. She felt like asking a stranger.

Law nodded, "Wait".

He headed to her closet and took out one of her sweaters. He took the one with the hood. The thickness of the hood at least could hide the mark her neck.

Tashigi and Vivi stood next to the door.

Nami's feet touched the floor. Before she could stand up, Law came with a sweater in his hand and draped the sweater on her shoulder.

"It's cold outside" Law explained.

Nami looked at him in surprised as she hugged the sweater a little tight. He drastically changed. Was he just acting?

"They look so sweet" Vivi whispered to Tashigi as they exited the room.

Tashigi just nodded. Then she remembered the hickey she saw on her neck and deduced that Nami and Law were in a relationship. That they were that intimate and might as well share their night together whilst she never went beyond that stage with Zoro. It made her jealous.

Sanji and Zoro walked side by side to the house. Zoro glanced at the car parked in front of the house. He got the feeling, the car looked familiar.

"And you, behave yourself" Sanji warned him.

"It's you, shithead" Zoro spat back.

Law led Nami on the sofa. His hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Nami-ya, I'm going to the kitchen. Do you need anything?" he asked her.

"No, Thanks" Nami patted his hand. She felt Law pulled his hand real quick. She felt disturb.

She watched him as he headed to the kitchen. Didn't he realize his action hurt her? Then she remembered, she was in no position to accuse him that. She was the one who hurt him first.

Usopp watched the two. Then his mind wandered off to the previous incident. He confused again. Then he saw Nami eyeing him. Usopp bowed lightly and smiled, "Um… Nami, how… how do you feel?"

Nami bowed a little, "Much better, thanks Usopp"

"You look pale, Nami-san" Brook finally spoke.

Luffy put his hand on her forehead, "You're hot! Have you take your medicine?"

Nami smiled, "Yes! Thanks Luffy"

All of them turned their head on the door when they saw Sanji and Zoro came in.

Nami gasped when she saw Zoro. All of sudden, she could still feel his lips ghosted along her neck. And damn, it sent goosebumps all over her body, the delicious sensation to be exact. She snapped at herself for having that dirty thought.

Her hand unconsciously rubbing her neck as tried to shake the thought away. Then she felt a sudden cold ran through her body when she remembered Law was still in the kitchen. Those two would finally meet. Things would get complicated as Killer stated previously.

Usopp could feel the change in Nami's mood. He watched Nami, studying her.

Zoro walked behind Sanji towards the living room. His eyes never left Nami. He got the feeling that her mind was replaying the heated moment when he saw her put a hand exactly on the spot he kissed. He felt proud and smirked.

"Nami-san… how do you feel?" Sanji asked as he sat next to Usopp.

Zoro sat on the single couch adjacent to Vivi's.

"I'm fine. Thanks Sanji-kun" Nami replied.

"Is it cold, Nami-san?" Tashigi asked when she saw Nami shaking.

Nami hugged herself and shook her head, "No…"

Usopp who knew what happened between Zoro and Nami, got confused. He was wandering, what happened between those two. Or to be exact, were they cheating? Usopp gulped. He decided not to interfere with them. He didn't want to trouble himself when he didn't know the whole story, so he decided to just sit and watch.

"Maybe, I should help preparing the drinks" Vivi offered herself and went to the kitchen.

"Law-san? Is there anything that I could help?" Vivi peeked and saw Law was putting glasses on the tray.

"Sure" Law replied with a smile as he pointed to the juice.

Vivi understood and took the juice. "I'm heading first" Vivi spoke.

Law nodded.

"Eh? Just juice?" Luffy whined.

"Behave yourself, idiot! This is someone else house" Usopp scolded as he helped Vivi passing the glass to the others.

"Sorry for making you wait" Law popped out from the kitchen.

Zoro looked up when he heard a familiar deep baritone voice. Zoro stood automatically when he saw Law, "Tra...?" Zoro pointed his finger to him.

"Roronoa?" Law shocked too.

"Zoro is fine"

The others were shocked when they saw both men shaking hands except for Luffy, Brook and Sanji.

"Zoro-san? You know each other?" Tashigi asked, wanted to know the answer.

"We... just happened to know each other" Zoro answered her.

Nami was speechless watching the unexpected scene in front of her. "That can't be, they…" Nami got confused, she bit her lower lip.

Usopp also shocked and confused. Though he had no idea what would happen, he knew it would be a complicated matter.

"So unexpected" Law stated as he took a seat next to Nami.

Nami could feel his body heat radiating when he sat next to her but somehow, it felt different. It was so different from the one she ever knew.

"Are you staying here?" Zoro asked boldly.

"For now, yeah. Someone needs to watch over Nami-ya"

"What about your work?" Zoro asked curiously.

"On call" Law simply replied.

Hearing his answer, Nami looked up at Law. Even though he still mad, he still spared some of his time to watch over her. Or was he forcing himself to take the responsibility. It just didn't feel right. No words could explain how she felt towards Law as of now. Doubts began to reside, did she ever deserve that man?

She told herself not to over thinking. She told herself she should be grateful, but no matter what, she felt a bit off of his action… his gentle action towards her in front of her friends, when she knew Law acted differently when they were alone. Or was it just her imagination? Was it just the medicine effect? Was she misread something? Law's actions puzzled her.

Zoro eyeing Nami. His question finally found its answer. Who knew, the man he met by accident week ago was Nami's sweetheart. What a coincident.

"Put that shit aside, who are you? A boyfriend?" Sanji asked Law.

"If that's how you see it" Law replied with a smirk and glanced at Nami who gazed down and remain silent.

Her body reacted to his words. He didn't say yes. Did he imply something? Was he telling her that they didn't look like a couple? Emotions gathered in her throat and she swallowed thickly.

"What a twist of fate" Zoro spoke earning attention from Law and Nami.

Nami heart thumping fast. She knew Zoro purposely said that. She knew Zoro was sending her a code that only she could decode.

"Pardon?" Law asked confused.

"I didn't know you and Nami know each other"

"Ah, yes. I also didn't know that you and Nami are colleagues" Law smiled.

"Who knows we meet here again" Zoro smirked eyeing Nami in the process.

Nami didn't feel like favouring the 'coincident' thing. She sipped her juice many times to ease her anxiety. Law's presence, didn't help to calm her down, the feeling she always had when Law was by her side. This time, it felt like, he didn't exist at all. She could feel that Law still ignoring her, much to her frustration. And their conversation didn't help her mood either, every single word Zoro uttered felt like an arrow shooting directly into her heart. It bled not, but hurting her inside.

"I think, it's about time we leave. Nami-san needs to rest too" Tashigi glanced at her watch.

The others agreed as they scrambled to their feet.

"Thank you!" Tashigi bowed.

"Nami-san, get well soon" Vivi held Nami's hand firmly.

Nami nodded.

"Nami, get well soon. There are still unsettled things need to be settled" Zoro said shooting her a glare.

Tashigi hit Zoro lightly, "Zoro-san, don't make Nami-san worry so much"

Nami knew, it was the other way around. He wasn't just talking, he meant about their unsettled business that no one knew, minus Usopp.

When the door closed, Nami stood in front of the door, cold ran through her body, she clutched her sweater.

"You are trembling, are you okay?" Law asked, putting his hand on her back and led her to the bedroom. Even the touch felt like stranger now.

"Yeah" Nami mumbled and walked to her room.

She settled on her bed. Just when he was about to leave, he felt her pulling his hand. Law turned to look at her.

"Do you need anything?"

Nami paused for a while. Her eyes staring at their conjoined hands. She bit the inside of her lips.

Law stared at her waiting for her to look up. After some long silence moments, he sat kneeling one of his leg on the bed, searching for her eyes. Her hand still grabbed on his tightly, so he didn't pull his hand.

She placed her other hand on Law's. Her thumbs brushing the back of his hand. Slowly she leaned down and planted a kiss on it, quite long before leaning her forehead against it.

Law fazed.

There was an awkward silence between them.

After some time she uttered softly, "I'm sorry… so sorry"

He didn't know how to respond to her sudden behaviour. Was she regretting? If she apologizing because she rejected him, that wasn't a big deal to begin with. It was just a normal occurrence for a couple fighting over petty things. He didn't really mad at her just because of that, he didn't mind. But, this was something else. Judging by her action, it looked much she was regretting. Regretting something that he might or not know.

"Someone like me… don't deserve somebody like you" Finally she spoke.

She still leaned her forehead against the back of his hand. She clutched his hand tighter for every word she uttered as to gain strength to tell him more. But again, she was defeated by her fears. She swallowed all her words back.

Law then realized something he hadn't noticed the whole time. The girl in front of him was feeling insecure. Insecure for something he also didn't know. Or, had it something to do with what happened days before? He had the urge to ask her but seeing her in that vulnerable state, he had the feeling he might just hurt her so he tightened his lips. How could he know when she never shared anything he was supposed to know. Didn't she realize she was also hurting him by not trusting him? If she knew that, what would she feel?

He placed his other hand on her head, lightly brushing her hair. He waited to give her time to calm herself.

...Few days later…

Nami was sitting with Tashigi and Vivi somewhere in an empty area, decorating swags for the wall draping. There were still many bundles needed to be done. She was admiring the complete draping on the ceiling. It was magnificently beautiful. The white tulle fabric worked well with the lighting. It looked simple yet classy. She could imagine, once this finished, the environment could give an ethereal feeling. All that left were decorating the wall.

Her attention turned to the task at hand while watching Tashigi to decorate the swags. She followed the motion.

"Nami-san, you are lucky" Tashigi told her while working on her task.

"Hmmm?" Nami hummed.

"I mean, Law-san is caring. He even spares time just to watch over you"

"Yes… Law-san is a gentleman" Vivi spoke with a smile.

"Tora is… I mean Law is just that kind of a man" Nami spoke with a smile.

Tashigi and Vivi looked at Nami in confusion.

"Why?"

"How can you say that? If it's me, I'll be more than happy" Vivi replied.

Nami glanced Vivi before darting her eyes to her work.

Tashigi got closer to Nami, nudging her and whispered "Have you… Have you… you know, done that… with Law-san?" she blushed furiously.

Vivi stopped from her work, looking at Nami waiting for an answer.

Nami found it quite funny when she saw Tashigi's cheeks flushed red and she was also fidgeting. Inexperienced huh? Nami thought raising her brows.

"Ah… sorry Nami-san. I didn't mean to step in your personal life…" Tashigi darted her eyes away from Nami's.

"Yeah, we've done it" Nami answered casually.

Tashigi and Vivi agape, they closed their mouth with both hands, quite shocked when Nami had no hesitation to answer Tashigi's embarrassing question.

"Nami-san, I envy you" Tashigi told her, she grabbed her arms.

"What do you mean?" Nami confused.

"Zoro-san and I… we never really… um… you know, doing that…" Tashigi stuttered, half whispered.

Nami's eyes shot Tashigi, studying her expression.

"Not even a kiss?" Nami braced herself to ask.

"He never initiates. It's just me who make the move. It is always me" Tashigi said sounding hurt.

Nami listened to her confession. Zoro never… Somehow she felt pity for her, for different reason.

"Actually, it's not that important in a relationship" Nami spoke looking elsewhere "As long as he loves you, that's enough" she wasn't even sure when she said that, that just didn't sound right to her ear.

"But, Zoro-san never once said I love you" Tashigi voiced her frustration.

Nami felt jolt of electric running through her vein. She couldn't believe what she just heard. But deep inside, she flooded with relief, a feeling she should not have in the first place. But why? She didn't have any idea.

"You guys… you both are lucky to have boyfriend. I never have one. I should be the one who get jealous" Vivi's whine took their attention.

Nami smiled and patted her shoulder, "Soon. You'll find someone soon Vivi-chan"

"I just… want to know… how it feels to be embraced by someone you love" Vivi spoke. "Is Law-san your first love?"

"Not really…" Nami said thoughtfully.

"When did you meet Law-san?" Tashigi asked.

"About three years ago"

"How do you meet the first time?" Vivi asked curiously.

"Hmmm… Let's see" Nami recalled back, tapping her chin with her fingers " We met at the bus stop. It was raining heavily and he just happened to share his umbrella" Nami told them remembering the incident.

"Just like that?" Vivi asked disappointed.

"Yeah! Why?" Nami nodded.

"He didn't ask for your number or something… anything that makes your first meeting more… memorable?" Vivi curiously asked.

"Maybe the umbrella… ha ha ha" Nami laughed as she herself didn't sure.

"Nami-san! How can you just name random thing… like umbrella?" Vivi confused.

"Truth be told Vivi, I don't even know if I can count that as memorable item or anything alike. We just met that way" Nami explained.

"Sometimes, things happened just like that Vivi-san" Tashigi interrupted.

"Um… It was… just so… normal… I think. I thought it will be like in the novel or drama" Vivi replied.

Tashigi nodded in agreement, "Yeah! Even though it wasn't that special, but it was still so sweet"

"Yeah! Nothing so special" Nami spoke. Sweet? She never thought it was so sweet. Her mind wandered off to Law.

"Then, how do you start your… um… relationship? I mean, when did you realize you like him? Or did he start it first?" Vivi asked again bringing back Nami's attention.

"We got laid after that" Nami answered spontaneously without looking at them.

Tashigi and Vivi shocked that they were unable to say anything. They turned to their work respectively, didn't ask further questions.

"That is some kind of effective answer" Nami smiled in satisfaction. She continued her work.

Later that evening, Nami was waiting at the bus stop. It was raining heavily. That reminded her the first time she encountered Law. She smiled. She jerked her head when she noticed a bus stopped in front of her. She took her seat inside the bus and leaned on the glass releasing all her weariness.

Novichan83: I also think the same, when I read this story again, I kinda see, the plot can only make him a good friend of Nami. But, if there's a big twist that turns the table around, don't be surprised when she ended up with Kidd. Just a probability… :s
