My Guardian Angel (Utapri)

《Chapter 05》

Ahem ahem... Greetings, everyone. I'm back after a long time. I have no excuse. It's just that I didn't know how to continue further. I had the plot, storyline and ending all set but didn't know how to bridge to the future chapters. Also because of drifting to other fandoms, I kinda lost the interest to write. But now with Live Emotion, I'm in love with Eiichi all over again and finally got the motivation to continue. I'm done writing the future chapters too. I'll update weekly from now on. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

A deep sigh escaped Eiichi's throat as he tapped his foot, his arms crossed. The woman was not waking up from her slumber, no matter how many times he called her. She really liked to idle her weekends, didn't she?

"That's right...." The man mumbled to himself. He had thought of a way that would surely wake Akari up but, knowing her, it would definitely annoy her. Well, it was an emergency so he might as well act out his idea. He observed the female who was rolled up in her blankets, facing away from him.

Clearing his throat, Eiichi leaned down by her side. From behind her, he brought his face closer to her. At first, he blew softly on her ear.

"Mhmm...." Akari whimpered in her sleep.

It was working. This time, in his rich voice, the angel whispered in her ear, "Wake up, my sweet angel."

"Nnn..." She mumbled incoherent words.

"Sweetheart.... I'll kiss you until you wake up." His breath reached the back of her ear.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .Wait, what? No!

"Huh?!" Her eyes snapped open but closed as soon as they had opened because of the brightness. Who had opened the curtains?! Meanwhile, Eiichi backed away from her and returned to his previous position.

Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes before looking around until her golden orbs settled on the brown haired man standing right next to her bed.

"You finally woke up, Tenshouin Akari."

"What are you.....?" The confusion in her eyes quickly turned into realisation as her eyes widened. Someone had told her in her sleep that he'd kiss her until she's awoken.  Was it him!?

"D-did you do that...?!"

"I'm the only one present in this room except you, aren't I?"

Blood rose to her cheeks and her face severed. She was PISSED.  H-How dare he...!

"Why did you do that!?" She glared at him.

"You wouldn't get up. It was my last resort," answered Eiichi calmly.

She took a look at her clock. "Of course I'd sleep longer during the weekend. Why would you even wake me up when it's only seven?"

"I have to return to heaven for work purposes and I may not be back today. I need to inform you that someone else will be here to guard you in my stead."

That means..... I won't have to tolerate him today? Yatta! After one month of bickering and butting heads, I can FINALLY have some freedom!

"It's good news and all, but," despite the merriment inside her mind, her glare didn't disappear. "You shouldn't have done that to wake me up!"

"Hmm?" Raising a brow, Eiichi watched her. Was it just him, or was she actually embarrassed? How amusing. For a girl who loved romance novels more than anything, she seemed to lack romantic experience in real life.

.....!

In the blink of an eye, Eiichi leaned down to her, leaving Akari stunned. He was close enough to smell the shampoo she had used last night.
