HE'S MINE

021

"Is he bothering you?" Mikey had his eyes on Sanzu when he has sputtered, walking closer to me. Sanzu didn't bother acknowledging Mikey's presence, he was on his phone, playing games.

"No, I am fine" I replied and we both stared at Sanzu, who neglected to respond to our presence. I sat with Mikey in the passenger seat and he drove off, I saw Sanzu leaving soon after we left. It felt like he was only there to see if I was okay, but I refused to believe that because he has two meanings behind his actions.

During this whole drive, Mikey kept telling me what happened the whole day, in every class. It was strange because he has never talked to me about his day before like that. I was happy, his voice was to die for. I had waited for this day since my heartfelt flutters for him. I was giggling inside, every time he laugh and told me stories. I gave him my full attention, now that the cheaters were out of his life, he was going to see my loyalty.

We ended up having lunch together at home and Shinichiro wouldn't stop smiling and pushing us close together.

"Are you happy?" He asked, smiling my way. His hand tenderly flicked his hair behind his shoulder.

"I feel like I am in heaven," I answered and sat with him on the couch. We had TV playing in front of us was watching it. Who else does that? Playing TV while watching videos on the phone or doing other stuff.

"Well, he is in heaven too after heaving an angel like you Y/n." He was a nice person, always lifting me. Ever since his breakup with Yuzuha, he had changed a lot,  spending more time at home, not using the phone much, and being nice to everyone.

"You guys are not even watching it." He shook his head and sat on the separate sofa by our side. We hadn't noticed him coming out of his room.

"I was asking Y/n about her relationships." Shinichiro lied, winking at me. I shook my head and eyed him not to because I was extremely shy about this kind of talk. He giggled and went on with his plan anyway.

"Oh," he said, his eyes on the TV. I'm not very vigilant, but observing his body language was my favorite hobby.

"I am forcing her to date someone now or at least have a first kiss." As soon as he mumbled that part, my cheeks were red, and Mikey swiftly turned his head toward us. I can tell his eyes were on me, I nervously played with the cuff of my sleeve with my hand and kept my eyes lowered.

"No way??" He showed disbelief, of course, all the girls he had known had their first kiss at a very young age.

"Yep, she is clean," Shinichiro stated and I kind of disagreed with her on that, so a girl is clean if her first is with his brother, but she is not if she does that same with others? That's not correct. I kind of found myself wanting to get up and take a break for a moment to wrap my head around this logic of his.

"Why Y/n? Have you never been in love before?" He asked me with a smirk on his face. Felt like he knew something, or he saw the redness of my cheeks. My breathing slowly become auditable as their eyes scanned my fave for an answer.

"I don't like it," I whispered in my mouth and lowered my face, my whole body was trembling visibly. That was a lie, I have given birth several times in my mind every time I  saw some of the guys from our school. The answer that my lips uttered wasn't something I believed in, It was something I knew they wanted to hear.

"She is blushing?" Mikey asked his brother with shock in his voice. The way they interacting now has started to give me shivers down my spine. The moment I lifted my face and my eyes with Shinichiro's, the confusion fled away. He has this brotherly stare warming my heart with unconditional love.

"She is a sweet little angel." Shinichiro hugged me and I felt the warmth of his body, Felt like I was in the embrace of my father.

"You know what they say about innocent girls, they are freaks in bed," Mikey announced brazenly, not taking account of his brother's presence. It was such a shock that a gasp escaped my lips loudly. My body reacted so badly that I broke the embrace with Shinichiro and watched Mikey's face in surprise. It was me he was talking about, did he imagine it too? Or were those only some words?

"Mikey!" Shinichiro shook his head and then they both watched my face. For a second, I had a vivid image of me and Mikey in bed, which gave me goosebumps. Not my fault, he started it.

I stood up in haste, both of them narrowed their eyes at each other and then at me. I zipped off to the upstairs, despite them calling my name.  I ran inside my room and locked the door behind me. My body was shaking, I close my eyes and bit my lower lip over the thought of Mikey and me together. Then a tear washed my cheek down, he has no idea how much I waited to be with him. He was my first and last love, my love for him was bigger than my ego, self-esteem, and dignity.

I sat in my bed and kept thinking about everything going on this day. Things looked so differently from afar, I always thought Yuzuha was the sincere one, but she ended up doing things behind my back and that hurt me the most.

I felt my phone beeping and it was none other than Mikey himself. Mikey from his original number that I had to save for a long time, but we never got to talk, he has no idea that I also know his other number that he was using to talk to me.

Mikey: Wow, I never saw a girl blushing this much.

I blushed more, why was he teasing me, damnit.

Mikey: I want to say something honest, but I know you will pass out then.

I wondered what he was going to say, I laid down in my bed and decided to ask him.

Me: what?

Mikey: you will blame me then.

Me: about what?

Mikey: let's go out for a drive tonight?

Butterflies were flying here and there in my stomach, my body feeling a tingling sensation over the smallest things he was saying.

Me: Okay, but what about Mr. Grandpa?

Mikey: I will ask for his permission. We will take Emma along and then drop her somewhere in the woods or someplace from when she can't show up again :P

I laughed at his jokes, So he did know Emma was always mean to me.

Me: no, that won't be nice.

Despite the fact of me wanting to say, Oh hell yeah, let's do that, I still acted nice.

Mikey: I can't believe someone can be this nice, so it's done?

Me: yeah.

Wow, Mikey and I will go out for a drive tonight. I have never been this happy before in my entire life. It was like the best day and night of my life. I thank Shinichiro for it, he was the one who always knew it would happen, and honestly speaking, he had always advised me to behave a certain way, what I was today was Shinichiro's idea. He has made me this way and I was forever in his debt.

I was getting ready for tonight, but the fear of him leaving in the road like before started to hit me. A part of me was afraid and the other stupid part was sure that if it's happen, Sanzu would appear out of nowhere to help me, but that was also creepy, how the hell did he appear in those places. Putting aside my anxiety, I quickly finished applying light makeup.

I walked downstairs and saw Mikey standing with his Grandpa. Mikey looked extremely hot, I feared losing my control near him. The little smirk from the corner of his lips made my ovaries explode.

"Okay, bring them back safe and sound." Mr. Grandpa looked at us and permitted us. Emma ran towards the car and perched on the passenger seat. Mikey started the engine and stopped the car in front of her friend's place. Emma had Mikey had planned this so Emma didn't create a scene.

"Come sit here," He asked me to sit on the passenger seat by his side and I obeyed him. He played some cute little mix songs because they were my choice, I wondered when he had noticed that because I didn't remember telling him. Once we were near the mountains, he stopped the car.

"What happened?" I asked, worried and panicking little. He smirked, turning his body towards me, my heart skipped a beat when he narrowed his eyes and the smirk disappeared off his lips, where the heck were we? And why did he stop here? He never said we will never stop anywhere and the fact he has stopped in the middle of nowhere got me a shock.
