Chapter Six

Mikan

"Aoi!" I shouted. "Don't swim too far from the swimming pool edge."

She nodded and jump right into the pool.

I sat on one of those loungers and watched her as I listened to some music on my iPod. I really wanted to join her but let just say that I'm allergic to pool water. Okay, maybe I just can't swim. I just don't know how.

Aoi waved at me and signaled me to join her. I waved back but declined her offer. I turned off my iPod and unplugged the earphones. I watch as Aoi swam. Sigh. I wish I knew how to swim.

"Why aren't you in the pool?"

I was at first shocked to hear the voice of Mr. Hyuuga but he was expected to come home today. I slowly turned my head and looked up. He was yet again wearing one of those perfect suits, you know the one that Tom Hiddleston or Barney from How I Met Your Mother wears, and it gives him finesse. Maybe it was Armani or something of the likes of it. They did say that expensive suits make a man.

He eyed me down, I felt a bit vulnerable. I was wearing a neon pink short and a white tank top that hides the floral bikini under it. His stares with those crimson eyes that is just indefinable. It masked the feelings that lurk beneath it and give you a sense of danger.

"Ah- I'm allergic to pool water." I replied quickly.

He looked at me as if wondering if I was a lunatic. He casually bends down and looked straight into my eyes. Then out of nowhere I was snatched out of my sit.

"Let go of me! You big arrogant man!" I managed to say as I was carried bridal-style.

"Nobody's allergic to pool water." he stated casually as he strode as both near the pool's edge. He looked at me again, a twinkle of happiness lures in the depths of his eyes. It was foreign maybe to him.

"There are some cases that the body is just allergic to chlorine! I googled it once. Don't you dare drop me into the water, Mr. Hyuuga!" I told him. "I'll have you know I could sue you."

"On what ground exactly, Miss Sakura?"

"Why! On the grou-"

Splash!

I wasn't able to finish my sentence as I was dropped to the refreshing coldness of the pool. It engulfed me through waves and level of water. I was slowly sinking down the bottom of the pool.

I don't know how to swim.

I can't breathe.

My last memory was image of Mr. Hyuuga standing and then slowly all at once jumping into the pool still in his suit.

Then, it was all black.

I slowly tried to open my eyes. I blinked a few times.

What happened?

I familiarized myself with my surrounding; I was in my room, lying on my bed. I slowly tried to sit-up. My clothes have been changed, I was wearing a sleeping gown, and maybe Anna changed it. I remember now, I almost drowned and well, I think Mr. Arrogant- Ass saved me (He was the one who cause the dilemma anyways.). I might have fainted. I looked around again. Then, a knock came from my door.

It was Mr. Arrogant- Ass himself.

"You're awake." He said as he approached closer to my bed.

I nodded. I found myself, in a speechless state. I don't know how to approach him. We both stared at each other.

"You almost drowned and I saved you. After than you fainted."

I nodded again.

"Why didn't you just tell me that you didn't know how to swim?" He grumpily told me. "You wouldn't be in this position if you only told me."

The nerve of this guy! He was the one who manhandled and catapulted me into the pool.

"Well, if you weren't so arrogantly and casually expecting for everyone to be as perfect as you are! Then, I might not suffer at all. Mr. Hyuuga." I replied with an angry tune lingering with every word.

"You blame me!"

"Why, yes!" I told him.

Silence surrounded us. We were both once again in a moment where our eyes clashed with one another, neither teams wanted to lose the fight. We stared into depths of both our eyes. Suddenly, he looked away.

"I'm sorry to have caused you distress then, Ms. Sakura." He apologized.

I was shocked, beyond belief. An apology from him?

"Ah- Okay then." I shyly replied. Another awkward silence begun. We we're really beginning to become masters in creating it. Both our gazes looking in the opposite directions.

"Shouldn't we stop with formalities, Mr. Hyuuga?"

He then made contact with my eyes.

"I mean, I've been working for you for a week already. In that span, I've hit you with an enormous spoon and you have almost drowned me to death. Our formalit- ."

"Call me, 'Natsume' then."

"O- okay."

He smirked and I smiled at him. Maybe this was some kind of truce?

"You'll call me, 'Mikan' then?" I asked.

"Maybe." He replied.

We we're both again starring at one another. I don't know what was happening, I shouldn't be attracted to him. I'm not attracted to him. I just...hate when he's around but miss his company when his not, even if almost every conversation we had was more like arguments. I hate that I think of him when I'm not supposed too. I hate that his kind in a weird way and that his mean, conceited and arrogant most of the time. I mean, it's not acceptable we've only know each other for a week, days even. I'm definitely not attracted to him.

"I still have to do some paper work in the office and don't worry about Aoi for today. I'll take care of her." he said breaking the spell. "This would be considered as one of your day-offs."

"Okay, thanks. But what does maybe mean?"

"Take a rest." He told me as he made his way to exit my room. He opened the door but before closing it he looked at me.

"I'll send someone with your dinner, Polka Dots." Then, finally he closed the door.

I took a deep breath.

Wait! What did he just call me? Did he say polka dots? Polka Dots?

A realization struck me. My underwear! No! Was he the one who changed my clothes? Why that arrogant- ass, not only is he conceited but a pervert too. The list of his negative traits just goes on and on.

He went to my drawers and peeked through my underwears.

It wasn't my fault that I have a weakness for polka dotted underwear. He just boils my blood.

Just when I thought I finally formed a truce with him! I'll show him, I'll get my revenge!
