Jealousy

Chapter 9: Cheat

Mamori was defensive. That made Hiruma even more suspicious. She would have normally just laughed at him when he says things like that. But now, looking at her deny what he said made him want rip her clothes off and fuck her right there and then. Hard. Who cares if they are in the limo and her friends are there? And he is going to make sure to leave marks all over her body. Especially on the parts that are visible to other people. He would mark it into her very being that she is his alone if she still didn't understand that after their years of relationship. The quarterback was always logical in the things he say and do but right now, his mind is going crazy due to jealousy.

Hiruma's tolerance was on the edge. It always annoyed him that he just can't keep his cool when it comes to this woman. He was supposed to be a calm and calculated person. But when it comes to Mamori, he is always on edge. After all, he is a person who had been overturning a zero point something billion percent chances to a complete victory. So having even a single percent chance of someone else being able to make Mamori fall in love and change her mind is already a threat to his position as her future husband. (Not that he had already proposed or anything, he was still planning to do so.)

It's not that Hiruma didn't trust Mamori. He just didn't like the idea of giving other men chances to steal his woman. Hiruma knew fully well that Mamori is loyal and truly in love with him. But he also knew that she can be too caring, excessively accommodating, and sometimes so dense that she may unconsciously fall in love with someone else. He won't allow that to happen. She is and will always be, the only woman for him and he won't allow anyone to interfere.

He knew it wasn't like him to act so childish, but for the meantime, he can act as childish and as selfish as possible just to keep Mamori his. If he needs to be the villain; then he's more than willing to do so. If he needs to be lovey-dovey, he would. He loves her too damn much that he can do anything for her. He can admit that much at least. That he is madly in love with Anezaki Mamori. Head over heels. And Hiruma Youichi's not the type to give away what he wanted. He's the type to gratify his desires regardless of what society and the people around him would say.

Hiruma glared back at Mamori and then laughed sarcasticly. "A heavy allegation? Then what do you call meeting with him alone? Eating breakfast and lunch with him. Oh and not to mention, dinner during unholy hours of the night. Meeting at dawn. Damn. Strolling parks with him. Going to cinema together . . ." Hiruma continued to enumerate and Sarah and Akoh were dumbfounded.

"Are all of those true Mamo-chan?" Sarah was the one who was able to ask.

"T-those were just for the research we were doing together." Mamori was having a hard time to talk. All that Hiruma enumerated were true. Although almost all those times she and Jiro only talked about a research they were doing with a team, now that Hiruma mentioned it, it was like she had been cheating on him. Because their were also times when Jiro would suddenly start talking about other things aside from the research or their studies and the two of them would seem like they were in a date.

Hiruma knew a long time ago that the two were in the same team for that particular research. But Mamori didn't spend that much time with the other members of the team nor with her other research teams. She's an independent woman and although she works well in a team she does not rely on anyone nor does she spend too much time with male friends. To Hiruma, it seems that she really enjoys the company of that guy that she hangs around him way too much.

"Keh. So it's fine if I do all those things with the current manager of my team? Or the secretaries? We would eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. Stroll the parks. Meet during the night or before the sun rises at dawn. Go to cinema together. Etc," Hiruma attacked. "And you wouldn't mind right?" He challenged her. Mamori bit her lip but Hiruma did not stop. "As long as I only open topics regarding football. Even if I know that the current manager is in love with me and the secretaries have the hots for me."

Mamori's eyes widened. No. She wouldn't want that. Her ears rung upon hearing that the current manager of Hiruma's team has feelings for him.

Mamori cannot help but feel threatened no matter how she reasoned with herself. She would never forget that she and Hiruma became close due to working together as captain / quarterback and manager. They simply worked professionally at first, became friends, until when they finally admitted they felt much more than that. They have had fallen in love with each other along time ago but they both never said a thing about it until when it became unbearable to be mute about it. They started going out and it continued on even after college.

Their relationship started because Mamori became Hiruma's manager during high school. That's why she can never become the manager of another team. She can only be Hiruma's manager. But as of now, Hiruma has another manager and his manager is in love with him.

Mamori wouldn't mind the secretaries if it was just physical attraction. A lot of women have the hots for Hiruma Youichi and she couldn't blame them. But of course she would not like it if he flirts around with them. And serious feelings of affection from someone like the manager, someone who had filled Mamori's supposed place beside Hiruma; it made her heart crumple in so much pain that it was hard to breathe.

It yelled danger. There's someone ready to replace her and it scared Mamori much more than she had expected. The thought of Hiruma falling in love with someone else and leaving her was unbearable.

So was it alright if Hiruma stay too much with the manager? No. Of course not. Definitely NOT alright. Was this how Hiruma felt about Jiro being by her side all the time? She's starting to understand why he was bothered by the guy. Mamori literally shivered and braced herself as if the place had turned ice cold. Her face had turned pale. She was starting to feel dizzy from the train of her thoughts.
