Celebrety x Asisstent

chapter 7 -icy eyes-

*Yuus POV*

I took a deep breath. Calm yourself, there is nothing to worry about. Yes you had an intimate moment with Mika, so what? Did he only play with your feelings because he is an ignorant celebrity? Of course. No one in his right mind would choose a mere commoner, if he can have literally anybody. I am just one of his toys you can just throw away as soon as you get bored of it.

Sighing I push the door open and look for him.

"M-mika, are you r-ready?"

Damn, I can't seem to stop stuttering. His mere presence is enough to bring me out of concept.
I look around the corner in the bathroom, but Mika's nowhere to be seen.

"M-mika?"

"I'm here."

I jump in surprise and spin around. Coming out of a bathroom stroll is Mika with a monotonous expression. I watch as he washes his hands and pulls out a paper towel to dry them.

"Gosh, you scared me. I already feared, that you've left after all and ditched me."

Without sparing a glance at me he throws the paper towel away and fixes his hair in the mirror.

"So you do know how to speak without stuttering."

He comes into my direction and opens the door. His eyes look expectingly at me as if he is telling me to leave first.

"I-it's not like I a-am doing it on purpose.", I huff as I walk past him.

I can feel his breath tingling on my neck as we leave the bathroom. I inhale sharply. But just as I was starting to freak out at the close proximity he brought some distance in between us. I exhale.

Arriving at our table Mika sits down on my right and picks up the menu.

"I-i didn't know what y-you'd prefer to drink, so I didn't o-order for you yet, b-but the waiter recom-mended the home-made p-pumpkin ice latte."

"..."

"B-but you can order something e-else if it doesn't s-suit your taste."

"..."

"Y-you could at least answer m-me, you know! I'm right n-next to you."

He rolls his eyes and shuts the menu, before he raises his hand to gesture the waiter to come over.
Our assigned waiter rushes to our table immediately and takes his pencil out, ready to scribble in his notebook.

"Yes, what would be your order sir?"

"A simple Americano please."

"Yes, of course. It'll be here in a minute. Thank you for your order."

He bows lightly and quickly walks away.
I look at my watch and sigh internally. Michelle and her assistant should be arriving any minute now. I nervously take a sip of my strawberry milkshake. Hopefully this'll go well, because I am responsible for Mikas actions today and if anything inappropriate happens they'll have my neck. I gulp and try to calm my nerves by exhaling slowly.

"Tsk. If you can't handle it, just quit the job and go back to how you were before."

I look up and see Mika staring at me with a bored expression. So now he decided to talk to me? I am sweating over here, almost losing my mind, because every upcoming scenario of todays meeting in my mind ends in a catastroph and in me losing my job, and he has the audacity to look down on me and question my willpower. Oh hell no, not with me, not today.

I clench my hand to a fist and am ready to jump up from my chair, words already prepared to be thrown at him.

"L-listen here-"

"A cold and simple Americano, as you ordered sir."

The waiter places Mikas order in front of him not realising the upbuilding anger between us or plainly ignoring it and excuses himself with a bow to scurry away.
I take a deep breath and try to calm myself down. It'd be very inappropriate to lose control right now and cause a scene, so I try to collect my thoughts and talk to Mika as if I wasn't ready to jump on his throat just seconds ago.

"O-ok listen, I need you to focuse on todays meeting with Michelle and her assistant, because it is very important. I just got the message t-that they are caught up in traffic and will arrive in about 10 minutes. I have a folder with me, where I listed all the information about Michelle I could find and y-you should read through it, before they arrive.
I-I know that you aren't really keen on meeting up with her, b-but it'll happen anyways at some point. Look I see that you aren't happy with m-my presence, but I ask you to put that aside for the next 1,5 hours. Can you do that?"

I hand him the folder I spend on 4 hours researching yesterday and look at him expectingly.

After a moment or two he grabs it harshly murmuring

"Ugh, fiiine. Whatever."

and starts reading it accordingly.
I lean back in my chair, relieved that he would coorporate with me, at least it seemed so.
I close my eyes for a second and remember yesterdays events.

*yesterday, after Yuu left*

"Thanks for helping me out, I wouldn't have been able to do this myself. And I am so sorry again to bother you without further notice."

"Ah, no, it's alright. I am glad, that you called me to burn your Ex's stuff that was still at your apartment. He's a bastard for cheating on somebody as gorgeous and amazing as you!"

"Aww, your so sweet to me Yuu. I really don't know how I deserve you. And f*ck that whore of a man, I am a queen and was born to slay!"

"Yas Queen, get it!"

We both start laughing and I throw my head back resting it on the couch we are sitting on.

"You know, I feel a lot better thanks to you. It's really freeing and I think it already smells a lot better in here, after I burnt all his sweaty things."

I smile at her and pet her shoulder.

"Ichi, if there is anything you want to talk about, you know I am always here for you."

She looks down at her lap and sighs quietly, twiddling with her hands.

"Thanks, I appreciate it a lot."

I nutch her shoulder again and press my forehead against it.

"That's what brothers are for."

Yep, it's me. I'm alive. Anygays I hope you enjoy this chapter. I just thought of the mane plot for this part of the book, and have same vague ideas what is still about to happen. Stay tuned and have a lovely night or day. Bye.<3
