Refresh [Izaya X OC ff]

Chapter 24

I had never felt this nervous before every time I hung out with Izaya. I had been walking around the room for about ten minutes, but I still couldn't keep my calm. Izaya would pick me at tomorrow's morning, which meant I had to sleep early.

But how can I get to sleep when I'm freaking nervous? Ugh, I covered my face with palms.

Suddenly, my right foot accidentally kicked something. I stopped roaming when I heard a loud sound in front of me. I didn't wear my glasses at that time so I had to look closer. It turned out I kicked Azami's box by accident and all the stuff inside it spilt out. I sighed as my hand reached for the clothes and books. When I held a small pink book, I froze to inspect it.

Azami's diary. Still got locked inside a small box covering the diary. I examined the small pink lock, wondering if I should search for the key or ignored it in order to respect her privacy. 

But something was strange. I sensed something odd for no reason. I had a feeling I must know what was inside the journal. I put the diary down. Instead of continued collecting the stuff, I searched through them, hoping to find a key. 

I didn't find any. I didn't have enough time to search more so I gave up and tidied the things again. 

"I'm sorry for kicking our box, Azami. And I'm sorry for thinking of opening your diary." I muttered.  

After putting everything inside the box, I jumped to the bed and hugged the pink bunny doll. Ever since I found it, I brought it to the bed and used it as my sleeping mate. Every time I looked at it, I got reminded by Azami.

I fell asleep minutes later. I was still nervous but I managed to sleep either way. But the mistake that I made was I forgot to set an alarm. Hence, when the morning came, I was still stuck in my dream. I began to wake up when I felt a gentle touch on my cheek.

The touch was travelled slowly to below, to the chin and then the neck. I opened my eyes instantly when the thumb rubbed the neck. I groaned.

"Morning, Keiko-chan!"

Recognising the voice, I sat up immediately. My jaw dropped in surprise, shocked to see someone that I didn't expect to see. "Izaya-kun?!"

"Didn't I promise to pick you up at morning? It seems you forgot our promise." He pouted. 

I threw him my doll in reflect. The fact that he burst into my room and woke me up like that made me flustered. Furthermore, I looked freaking messed up with this hair. Izaya was caught off guard as the doll hit him, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled.

"Such a cute doll." He lifted the door. "Is it from Azami?"

I widened my eyes. "How do you know?" 

Izaya just gave me a mysterious smile. It wasn't surprising anymore that he could guess right. He offered the doll to me. "I should have brought a camera so I could take a photo of you." He sighed. I jolted out.

"Just get out from my room!" I pushed him. He laughed.

"Don't worry. You're still cute as ever." 

Argh! My face turned red. Why Izaya always said something that made my heart jumped? I climbed down from the bed and walked to the door. "Wait at downstairs!" I shouted at him before leaving the room and dashed to the bathroom which was beside my room. Mum and I had each bathroom so we wouldn't have to share. I didn't know if Izaya obeyed me or not but I didn't manage to see him leaving the room.

When I finished taking a quick shower, Izaya wasn't in the room anymore. I sighed in relief, afraid that he might have stayed and seen me naked inside this towel. I regretted not taking a time to choose my wardrobes.
