Chapter 9
Mikan's Pov:
6:45pm, Friday. At the Cinema
Permy is always late! Why do I even hope for her to be on time? I mean seriously we are talking about the girl who was an hour late for the dance here why? Oh I'll tell you why it was because-
"Sorry Mi! I had a hard time picking out which shoes matched my outfit. But you know me I always make the right choice so yeah I was fashionably late. Hehe" Permy said as her heels clanked against the marble floor.
"Can we please just get in and watch the move now? It started 15 minutes ago!" I was desperate! I mean c'mon! it was iron man, my true love! He is the only guy I went ballistic-fan-crazy-obsessed-girl over. I'm wearing his freaking t-shirt right now!
"Chill out Mi, the first 15 minutes of any movie is the boring advertisement. So let's go! Haha." Permy said as she pulled my hand and then we both ran into the cinema almost forgetting to check in with our seats and just took the first seat we saw.
(After the movie)
"OH MY EFFING GOSH THAT WAS AMAZING! " I yelled out walking out of the cinema. I mean it was, iron man you never fail to give me a reason to live!
"Shut the fuck up Mi! People are staring at us…" Permy tried to cover her face with her hair but failed since she teased it upwards to make her look like this rockstar which really suited her by the way.
"But Permy! That was like… fucking porn to me. The type of porn I would like to watch over and over again".
We were now sitting at the food court waiting for our meals.
"I never knew you were the type to be into porn berry. Do demonstrate what you've learnt." A voice from my back haunted me. I know that voice a bit too well unfortunately.
I look at Sumire's expression not surprised to see her expression of awe. She believes that he is 'all that' when he is just in incompetent arse. I almost drag my body to turn and look behind me when I realized that Natsume was just inches away from my face…again. Deja vu much? That moment when I expected a kiss came to my mind again. I quickly pushed him away so he wouldn't see my petty state.
Never will I be weak in front of any guy, not ever since…
"You were too close. Sorry." I told him without looking at him. Things are really awkward ever since 2 days ago.
"Ahem?" Permy nudged me.
"Oh right, Nat-Hyuuga this is my best friend Per-Sumire" I gestured at Permy.
"Tch." He grabbed a chair from the other table and sat down beside us since me and Permy were facing each other.
"Yo Natsume! I just saw this awesome-?" Koko came from Permy's back out of nowhere and knuckle punched him. He too grabbed a chair and sat opposite Natsume.
"Oh… hey Mikan! What's up?" he looked at me with that goofy smile as usual. I just nodded since I didn't know what to say.
Permy was busy looking at whether the food was ready or not she didn't notice Koko. And just like that when their eyes met…
"YOU!" they both said in union. Though Permy said it like there is a murderer in front of her while Koko said it like he saw a clown. Wait what? They know each other?
"Hey! Look its scare-crow. How you been man?" Koko said with a smirk.
"Excuse me? SCARE-CROW? At least my head does not look like a soccer ball!" Permy is getting feisty and Koko seemed to be enjoying himself.
They went on for about 5 whole minutes arguing while Hyuuga and I watched. He tapped my shoulder and pointed to somewhere. I followed where his finger pointed and saw the lady waving at us with our food. I got up to go and get it, when I return, (which was barely even 30 seconds), Permy and Koko are still arguing while Hyuuga had this annoyed look on his face. Why am I the only sane one here?
I place the food on the table, instantly Koko and Permy became quiet. They both stared at the food like it was some God.
"Bless this moment for they have learnt to shut up" Hyuuga said sarcastically.
I just ignored all of them and decided to eat. I took my heavenly cheese burger, unwrapped it and took that first bite. I never knew burger tasted this good! Or maybe I just didn't eat one for the past month.
Koko and Permy are fighting as she does not want to share her burger but Koko obviously wants some.
"Are you not going to share that with me berry?" Hyuuga's husky voice made my bones melt.
"No! Get your own!" ok where did that kiddy Mikan come from?
"Fine I'll just take it myself." He says as he reaches out to grab a French fry. Going on my instincts, I slap him hand before he could even touch it.
"Hell no you taking my fries! Go buy your own!"
I take a few fries and stuff it in my mouth, but there was a really long fry that was out.
I stopped chewing when I saw Natsume's face. It was priceless! He was looking at me like a little angry kid with his lips pouted and brows crunched up to the center of his head. Then he smirks and I knew something devious just entered his mind.
He grabbed my hands and pulled me closer and bite of the remaining fry that was still hanging out of my mouth. He let me go and slouched back into his seat acting like he won a Nobel Prize. I was just…there. Shocked and terrified. This time I couldn't help the blush. It was just too sudden.
What the actual fuck is wrong with this guy? Why am I feeling special? Why am I blushing? And why is my heart beating as if I just ran a 5 mile marathon? Must be from shock I guess...
I was about to really make Hyuuga's ears bleed about giving another GIRL personal space until some girl suddenly appeared.
"Baby! Where were you? I was waiting for 15 minutes!" a red head girl was standing beside Hyuuga with her hands on her hips and her lips pouting. She was wearing a white tang top, but her top was so low that you could see a bit of her upper bra. Her shorts were, well, just really extremely short and her pumps were ruby red just like Natsume's eyes.
I felt like something was biting me inside, like those tiny ant bites you get? But right now it felt like a hundred were biting at the same time.
"I'm sorry babe, I had to go to the bathroom and I saw a friend and I had to say hello" he grabbed the girl by her waist and pulled her so she would sit on his lap. Her arms encircled his neck and Hyuuga's hands were in between her thighs.
This makes me sick. How can I eat like this? For fuck sake, I think they're going to have a tongue war any minute now. Ok this is just awkward, I look at Koko and Permy and even if they are quarreling they seem like a couple and then there's Hyuuga with his girl. Wow, it really hurts seeing them. So now I'm the fifth wheel? I'm not needed here…
I practically throw my burger on the tray grab my bag and just walked away. Permy will just have to understand me for now. I could hear Permy calling my name but I just ignored. Stupid Hyuuga! This is all his fault, all I wanted was some quality time with my best friend but no he had to be there. And on top of that! He called her "babe" he calls me that! Ok it's 'berry babe' but it's the same thing! You know what I don't even care. Fuck his with intense feelings.
"Mi! Wait up! You know I'm wearing heels dammit!" Permy's voice cracks my stupor. I turn around and saw her wincing from the pain of her heels. She shouldn't have worn them if it hurt her so much. But I guess fashion has a price. She finally catches up with me.
"What was your walkout about? You could have at least told me to leave with you! How could you leave me with that bastard?!" she was swinging her arms frantically.
I wanted to tell her, she was my best friend but it's not in my nature to show anyone my weak spots. I'll tell her when I feel a bit better and actually know why I did walk out. But I can't lie to her either.
"I just felt a bit sick seeing Hyuuga's face too often this week. Plus I lost my appetite." Ok that wasn't a complete lie. Will do for now.

At Mikan's house
Mikan's POV:
"Mom! I'm home!"
No reply. It's quite late I wonder why she isn't home, must be doing over time I guess.
I need a hot shower. I go to my bathroom and turn the tap on and pour in some rose essence into the water and then some ball like thing that bubbles when you put it in water. My mom just said it's good for your skin. I take my clothes off and slip into the tub.
This is the shit.
I felt my muscles relax, I cracked my knuckles and it felt good. I know it's a bad habit but a habit is a habit. I started thinking about today's happenings. The movie was just awesome no worries there. But why do I feel bothered? I look around in my bathroom and my eyes land on a bar of soap. Sumire and Koko really look like an awesome couple. I should hook them up sometime and ask her how she knows him.
I remember how I just lashed out of the food court leaving Permy. Even if I would never admit it verbally, I know I left because of Natsume's little show…
At that moment I felt like cracking her neck open and grinding her body until you won't even recognize it was once a body. But whatever, what's done is done I should just move on and proceed with my life.
I lay my head back and close my eyes for a while.
DING-DONG!
.
.
.
.
DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG!
For fuck sake why can't my mom bring her key once in a while.
"WAAAAAAIIITTTT!" I yelled out in frustration. Honestly you think a 36 year old woman would be responsible enough to bring her damn keys. Not my precious mother, oh no.
I put on my bra and panty and wrap a towel in my head. I put on my nightdress that was a bit see through and ended above my knee. You could see my belly button. So cute! (Conceited moment)
I didn't have time to dry my body so it was still a bit wet but I could manage.
The door kept ringing and ringing, wait. My mom wouldn't be doing that. She would have given up and just called me instead. Unless… it's not her behind the door.
I felt Goosebumps start to perk up on my arm. My heart beating faster and faster, the beating got loud that I could hear it pounding in my ear it was deafening. I seem to have short breaths now. I felt my chest go in and out but it's like I'm breathing pure carbon dioxide and trying to gasp for oxygen.
I make my way to the door, holding a knife in my left hand. I reach the door and peep through the tiny hole and see a red eye staring right back at me. I let out a small yelp and I prayed the person on the other side didn't hear me. I counted in my head before I would open the door.
1.
2..
3…
I grab the nob of the door and swung it open. Without even looking at who it was I kicked whoever was there and I saw his figure fall to the wall and then the floor. I held the knife out like some helpless girl in a movie. I hadn't realized that tears had formed in my eyes.
"What the fuck is wrong with you dammit…" the stranger said while crouching on the floor and holding his tummy.
It's Natsume…
Shit. That was all I could think of at the moment. I still slightly trembled but I dropped the knife and went to help him up. I caught him around his waist while his arm was around my neck for support.
I brought him inside and let him lay down on the couch.
"I'm so sorry Natsume! I didn't mean too! I thought you were…-" I cut off mid-sentence and looked at the floor. How could I mistake Natsume for that criminal?
Natsume noticed my sudden silence and then took my hand into his large ones. He then started to rub small circles in my palm. It felt relaxing since his hands were cold and I just had a hot shower. I felt myself settle down physically and mentally.
How can he get me to let my guard down just like that?
"I can here because your friend Sumire was worried about you." He said while rubbing my hands.
"She also told me that you were annoyed with me because of that scene I did" he chuckled a bit at the end.
Remind me to kill Sumire for opening her big pipe hole.
"I was not annoyed, I was disgusted. I was eating when you were doing…that to her. I felt the need to stay away from you." I said trying to sound as defending as possible.
He stopped rubbing my hands but still held them and looked at me. He had a poker face on but his eyes said something else. Is he hurt?
"Are you sure you're just not jealous?" he smirked.
"Yes, I am sure of it" I smiled sweetly and took my hands back.
"How's your stomach?" I asked feeling guilty.
"Well, you know how to kick that's for sure." He said. I guess I went a little too far.
"I'm really sorry; I was just a little scared. It's not normal for people to come over to my house 1 am in the morning." I said glancing at the clock.
"A little scared would be an understatement berry. Now what's the reason to why you really acted as if I was a rapist or something." He lifter a brow at me…
Rape…
I saw memories zoom through my mind, blood and tears, screams for mercy, malicious laughter. Those Goosebumps are coming back, I stayed quiet infront of Natsume. It was too agonizing to tell, just thinking about it made me want to pull all my hair out.
As if sensing that I wasn't going to answer him, he just 'tched' and looked around my house.
"Ok if you are not going to answer that question, answer this one instead."
"Were you jealous when you saw my kissing Angela?" he observed as my eyes went big and I tilted my head a bit to the right.
"Who is that?" and then it hit me, it must have been that girl on Natsume's lap.
"Oh! Her… Hell no! Why would I be?"
"Because you are attracted to my sexiness" he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Ahh! No I am not, and I never was and never will be." I declared.
"Oh really?" he grabbed my arms and pulled my towards him. I don't know how but he was now on top of me. His face inches away from mine, I could smell his breathe and it smelt like cigarettes. I was as stiff as an ice cube below him. He just scanned my face with his fingers. He fingers reached my lips and then he moved his fingers down to my neck. Ok I think I'm going to melt any minute. He moved in closer and closer. I felt our lips brush against each other. And it felt like molten chocolate cake.
"Mikan! Sweety why is the door open?" I heard my mom call out as she closed the door.
I panicked. I mean what would you do, if you saw your daughter with a guy on top of her and she was in her nightgown. I pushed Natsume so I could get up. When I got up and grabbed his hand and leaded him to my room.
"Climb out of my window ok? And I swear if you stay or take anything I will slaughter you." I said as I went back to greet my mom.
"Hey mom! Why are you so late?" I tried to act normal as possible. Like there wasn't an extremely hot guy hiding in my bedroom. Yeah, piece of cake!
"Oh I had over time sweety, I'm sorry did you eat?"
"Yeah. Mom I'm gonna sleep ok?"
"Honey, you look sick! Your face looks like a beetroot." She put her hand on my forehead.
"No mom, I'm fine just need some rest I guess." I stepped back from her. Damn you Hyuuga!
"Ok sweetheart. I love you"
"Love you too mom" I kissed her on the head and went back to my hopefully empty room.
I opened my door, and saw no Hyuuga. Instead I saw a paper bag on my bed with a letter on it. I walked over to my bed and took the piece of paper.
I'm sorry if I made you mad today.
-Natsume.
Well I'll be damned. I just had to smile, how could I not? He was such a sweet guy. Yes Natsume Hyuuga was a sweet, considerate guy underneath all that bad boy image. Ok the letter is dull but the Hyuuga apologized to me. It was good enough. I took out the burger and munched on it before I went to sleep into dream land~
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(Somewhere you don't know.)
" I'll see you very soon Mikan. Just wait for me ok my love?" a guy stared at the brown head as she went to bed. When the lights went off, he gave a smirk at no one. He whistled as he walked down the street.
