For primo: Mikan wakes up at 11 in the morning because she is a call center agent which requires her to work in the evening till five in the morning. She goes out of bed at 12 (which explains why she is called lazy) and jogs and goes to work again that night.

Dedicated to all those who reviewed/followed/favorited this story. You all brought smiles to my face! About time I updated. Sorry!

Chapter 2: When I Call You Mine

'Who was that guy and what the hell did he think of himself?' Mikan shook her head and resumed walking back to her apartment. 'If he's going to marry me then he better do it properly' she thought for a moment. 'I need assurance that he can-' Wait!

"WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?" A few people paused to look at the drenched woman like she was retarded. Mikan shook herself. Fumbling with her keys, she managed to declaim a colorful piece of work using every curse she knows. She grabbed a towel and got inside the shower where articles of clothing were scattered carelessly.

"Is he capable of protecting us?" Then she punched herself weirdly. 'Of course, he's on the navy!' Mikan almost slipped as she grabbed the bottle of shampoo.

"Does he have enough money to buy us a place somewhere? And for the education of our child-" she blushed. She turned and caught her reflection on the mirror, naked.

"Is he capable of making babies?" She asked herself. Then images of him and her somewhere in the dark and secluded place popped.

WHISH

She opened the shower and made sure it was 'cold' enough. She shuddered. Sometimes her imagination was too vivid for her own good. Suddenly, as if taking on a cue, the phone in the kitchen rang and she got it in record time and er, forgot about grabbing a towel.

"Hello?" She answered and a squeal was heard from the other line.

"Oh my gosh Mikan! The company called! You passed!" Hotaru, her overly excited best friend shouted that she had to keep a distance from the phone.

"I got it? Are you sure Hotaru?" Se asked anxiously and unconsciously rubbed her elbow.

"Do you think I am? Mikan, you're out of that call center hell hole!" A sharp intake of breath.

"Mikan?" An exhale was the only reply.

"Umm.. Hey Mikan are you alright? Did I kill you?" Another intake of breath.

"OH MY GOSH! LORD OF THE HARRY POTTER RINGS HAVE HEEDED MY PRAYERS!" Mikan finally yelled and did a victory dance around the apartment, of course after carefully keeping the windows tightly shut.

And just like that, all thoughts of a stranger left her head.

A raven-haired male slumped down on his desk and heaved a sigh.

"Natsume are you alright?" Ruka asked worriedly and handed his best friend a bottle of water which he took gratefully.

"I'm fit as a fiddle, Ruka." He answered coolly and rested his feet on the table. His companion narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Would you tell me who you said you are going to marry?" He asked, a mixture of curiosity and suspicion laced in his voice. Natsume merely chuckled.

"Nope." He answered, emphasizing the 'p'.

"Look here you bastard," Ruka hissed at his bestfriend. "I'm telling you hurting women is not the-" he paused when he saw Natsume's eyes blaze with amusement before dying down to its usual coolness.

"It's her." It only took a couple of seconds before Ruka caught up. He sat down back again.

"Ah. Figured. Have you met her?" At this Natsume chuckled.

"Do I need to tell you that my plan has commenced?"

"Have you bedded her?" Ruka asked anxiously with a smirk. Natsume raised an eyebrow before shaking his head. 'Not yet'.

"So if your plan has commenced all we do is...wait."

"Yeah. Wait..." Natsume agreed and placed his arms behind his head.

"Goodluck and... You look hungry, by the way." Ruka said thoughtfully and shook his head seeing the expression on his face.

"You really are a bastard." He concluded and got out of the room as his best friend burst into laughter. A female, brunette officer poked her head from the door and flashed him a smile.

"And here's my next meal." He took off his blue jacket, a smirk playing on his lip. The it vanished as soon as he caught sight of a picture of a-

"Hey." The female officer sexily approached.

I'm gonna get you.
