I watch him as he stands right outside my dressing room. Looking at him I can remember what drew me to this man. His piercing blue eyes, perfect face, and mysterious air that he held around him. I fell in love with his silent actions of care. I don't anyone noticed how he slept less then anyone on a case. He would be up late reading and rereading any information he could on the case. I don't think lin noticed that he still used his PK. If someone was in danger of falling down stairs, or something was about to fall on them, and even if a spirit was about to attack, they would be moved somehow, or the object would change directing, the spirit push back ever so slightly. No one noticed how he would secretly have lin check up on everyone. For example, monks band almost had to quit from not having any gigs. But suddenly 10 bars and clubs called begging them to play, they all side a certain person said they were a wonderful group. I found out from a friend in college that her mother owned one of the clubs. She said that certain person was THE Oliver Davis. Oliver didn't show he cared openly, he was content to silently care for everyone in the back ground. I even benefited from this after he had left for England. I had trouble finding a way to pay for my collage classes., I was called into the office and told I suddenly had a full ride scholarship thanks to an organizations in England. I wasn't dumb, I knew who pulled the strings for that. I showed my thanks by completed a Bachelors Degree in Science and Psychology in 2 years.
"Mai... I.. How are you? How has college been?" He asked in a unsure voice. He was running a hand through his hair and watching me for any signs.
"I'm fine, and I finished college last year. I'm sure you knew that though." I said with amusement. His eyes widen a bit, that was they only sign of surprise he show. "Why don't you come in. I have some tea." I told him as I turned and went to a area i had set up so I could have tea before and after the show. I helped calm the nerves and the adrenaline. I fixed us both a cup and turn to see that he has enter and sat on the couch.
"Here," I said handing him the tea. He carefully took a small sip as if it was poison. "I promise I didn't put anything in it."
He finished the tea in 30 seconds flat and then stole mine that I had sat on the small coffee table. "It's not that. I just haven't had tea in almost 5 years..." he looked down, "No one could seem to make it right, and I for some bloody reason can't make tea to save my life."
I sat down taking in what he had said. Oliver Davis, the tea fiend, hasn't had tea for 5 years.
"So Mai, Tell me what brought your band to England?" He asked looking more like the Naru I knew, just a bit... no a LOT sexier. His hair was longer, he was taller, shoulders and chest broader. The fact he was now truly a man hit me hard as I set beside him.
"Come Oliver, I thought you would've figured that out by now." I teased him as I smirked my "naru smirk" as Monk puts it. "I guess we all can't have smart can we."
"Mai, if I recall who was it that was that thought It would be a brilliant idea to walk to work in freezing cold weather with wet hair?" Now he was smirking at me, his eyes held a spark I knew well. That teasing boyish spark That had me waking up and taking cold showers at night.
"It wadn't my fault my boss called me in early and I had happen to be in the shower when he called." I told him smiling. "My band is here to play music. I am here to simply answer a question I was asked 5 years ago. The question is will that person believe my answer this time? after all I've had a long time to think about, though I knew the answer seconds after they had asked. I will admit, it was a shock hear it. My young heart had frozen in my chest." I said laughing at the end.
I looked at Oliver, or Naru. He was studying me now. I watched him as he built a wall around him self to shield form any pain I could cause him. Didn't he know that I should be the one making walls? "and that answer? What is it Mai, Me or Gene?" He used that same accusing voice as he did then. He had that same look as well, His body was ridged and his eyes cold, but now I could also see in them the fear and longing. The same fear I knew to well and the same Longing I've had since I met him.
"You. It's always been you. Gene was like brother to me. A sweet older brother that helped me with cases. I loved you. I love you still. I love how even to this day you still secretly take care of the jspr family. I know about the called to the clubs for monk. The scholarship for me. The call you made to get yusahara his job. I know all about them, I also know how you can still use your pk and the reason you get sick if because your over using it. Like when you were put in the hospital on the case to the school. You had been using your pk to stop the fox fires from getting to close to us when we thought they were still evil. I fell in love with the twin that like to take care of everyone in the dark but doesn't let anyone care for him. I love you Oliver Davis, Naru." I told him. I had placed one hand on his face so that I could look him in the eyes.
He closed his eyes and put his hand on mine. I thought he was going to push it away and yell at me. Instead he held it to his face and sighed. "I've been waiting so long to hear that mai. I love you as well." He opened his eyes and then let a small smile on his lips.
It took me a moment to realize that he had said he loved me. I was in shock. The second it did click I threw me self into him showing he face with kisses and hugging him. "I'm so happy!" I told him as tears started to flow down my cheeks.
"I'm not letting you go again. I've loved you for 6 years and have thought you were in love with gene. I let you go believing that. I wont again thought. Your mine Mai, as soon as I can I'll drag you to John and put a ring on your finger." His voice was right over her ear, his words were spoken with determinations.
"I'm sure john would love to marry us, but he isn't a priest anymore." I told him giggling
He kissed the top of my head. "We can always elope."
"NO! She is having a bloody wedding Oliver Yoru Davis!" a loud voice yelled from the door way. There stood lady with blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and maybe as tall as mai. She had her hands on her hips and was staring at Naru with a very determined look.
"Mother? What are you doing here?" He asked as we stood dusty over selves off.
"Masako had me come, She told me my son was with the girl of his dreams and I wanted ot met Mai so I came. Now you hear my Olver, I can make a wedding happen in 3 months. That should be soon enough." she said walking up and poking him in the chest. He nodded like any wise person would. After all from the stories I heard about her from lin, you do not say no to Luella Davis.
She clapped her hands together and smiles. "Good, now the rest of you lot can come out from hiding in the hall."
20 seconds later I found myself being hugged by 7 people and being told congrats. I smiled at everyone. My dressing room was full of my family and soon to be family. I got the man of my dreams and it seems I getting married in 3 months. I look over to Naru who is smiling at the display.
5 YEARS LATER
Two twin boys sat on their beds waiting for their mother to tell them a story like she did every night for bed time. They both looked like their father with their dark hair and pale skin, They only thing that made them not into chibi's of Naru was that they had Mai's smile and both twins had a Hazel right eye and a Blue Left eye. It was discovered that they could see spirits with their Hazel eye like Mai could do now, and their uncle Gene once was able to do.
"Mommy, How did you meet Daddy?" Ren asked when his mother came and sat in a chair she had placed in the room when the were born. Ren was like his father, he was smart and always looked for answer to any questions that he could think of, and had Pk along with seeing spirits. He also had a tea obsession.
"Yeah mommy, how did you meet daddy?" Gene also question from his bed. He was hanging upside looking at her smiling. Like his name sake Gene was silly, open, and caring for anyone and thing. Though like his brother her was very smart. He was a medium like gene and mai, he also had his mothers EPS.
Mai looked at her sons and place her hands on her swallon belly. "Once upon a time ago there was a girl all alone in the world, until one day a boy walked into her life. He was surrounded by adventures full of ghost and other scary things, they girl was in awe of him. One day she found her self working for him..."
And so the story went. The girl fell in love, got hurt a few times, and now she isn't alone because she is around a family she and the boy made together.
