Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 15

"Huh? Why are you here all of a sudden?"
"I was just thinking that Eluma might've missed you."
"You came here just because of this?"
"Yeah, why are you so surprised?"
"I didn't think you'd do something kind to anyone ever again"
"I myself don't know why I did it."
"I'm glad it's going on well"
"What?"
"I'm glad you're getting along faster than I thought"
"Ahh, that's..."
"Lady is just doing this out of pity, so it's nothing much."
"If you say so."

Is he lying? Or does he really think like that?

"Anyways, I wanted to see you."
"?"
"Today's lesson will be canceled"
"Why?!"
"Because it's your sister's birthday party, and you should be the most beautiful girl."
"I don't care about being beautiful or not. I just want to screw up the party."
"To do it, you have to be gorgeous"
"Even more than she already is?"
*blush a little bit*
"Of course. And you'll help her"
"Me?"
"Yes, you. I know your talents, and I am sure that you'll make her a goddess."
"As you wish"

I don't like the sound of this.

"Can't I just do my own makeup and hair? And I can create my own dress"
"No."
"Why??!!"
"Because I said no!"
*mark glows*
"Aouch!!!!!"
"Hexy plesse stop! You're hurting her too much!"
*sigh* "Just for you"
"Thanks."
*mark back to normal*
"Are you alright?"
"...Yes."
"Anyways, Eluma will help you. And I guess you don't have any objection, do you?"
"...No"
"That's good to hear. Now then, have fun at the party"
"..."
"See you"
"Bye~"

...

"M'Lady, are you alright?"
"..."
"I'm really sorry for what Hexy did. I should've stopped him earlier. I apologize"
"...Okay"
"If you don't want me to do your look, you can do it yourself, and I'll tell him that I-"
"No. You'll do it for me"
"...Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, just do it when we get back home."
"Deal, but don't you think it's better if you come to my house?"
"?!"
"I DON'T MEAN ANYTHING!!! It's just that there's too many people in your house, and I don't want to be seen for now. It should be a surprise, shouldn't it?"
"...Yeah, you're right. Then, I'll come to your house today at 4, is that okay with you?"
"Okay!"

...

*open door*
"Black Akari, you're finally here! Where were you? It's 3 o'clock."
"...None of your business"

I was in fact at the library, reading the book.

"Ahh... whatever, you came at the right moment! Can you please come here for a second?"
"..."
"Look what Yamel brought me today for my birthday!"
"?!"

This... is this the bracelet he showed me before? So it was for her?

"You like it?"
"..."
"...Black Akari?"
"I have to go"
"Huh?! Where to? And why all of a sudden?"
"..."
*Blackie gets out of her house*

Yeah... what did I expect at that time? I was just a toy for him. Why did I fall for him? Just why???!!!! I, I want to go to a place where I can relax, where I can be myself, with nobody that will annoy me. I want to go to...

*tok tok*
*open the door*
"M'Lady? Why are you here now? Is something wrong? I thought you were coming at 4 o'clock."
"...Can I come in?"
"Yes of course!"
*clack*
"Are you okay?"
"...Yeah"
"Why were you running?"
"How did you know?"
"You look tired, so I can say that you were running. So tell me why?"
"...I don't know"
"Okay then why are you so sad?"
"What? Why are you saying that?"
"I can see it from your face. You look shocked, sad and lonely. Did something happen?"
"...I don't want to talk about it."
"As you wish. Anyway, since you're here, why don't you stay here until the birthday party begins?"
"...Okay"
"Do you want to eat something?"
"No" *growl*
"Pfft, why are you so shy all of a sudden? Just tell me that you're hungry. I know I'm not the best cooker, but I'll do my best"
"..."
"So what do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine"
"Hm... then how about noodles? Or do you prefer a salad? Or a soup maybe? I can also make you a burger, a pizza or some pasta. Just tell me what you want."

Pft. This guy, seriously...

"... Noodles will be fine"
"Okay then, 2 bowls of noodles"
"No I just need one bowl."
"I know. The second one is for me"
"Ah"

... Is the worst! How could he embarrass me like this?!

...

20 minutes later...

"2 bowls of noodles with 2 salads and one pizza"
"What the... why all of this???!!!!"
"I know you won't eat at Monica's party, so at least eat a lot at lunch."
"But this is too much!"
"Who said that it was just for you? It's for both of us."
"Yes, but..."
"Now now, stop being so worried and just eat. Let's dig in!"
"..."

I don't know why, but for some reasons, I feel really relaxed when he's here.
