Living Together Under A Roof [Anime]

Chapter 28

Matsuo's dad had been visiting the office so many times since that day. He would sit down on the sofa in the secretary room which I worked there and read the newspaper that was beside him. As if waiting for my coffee, of course I made the coffee for him everytime he came. It's my mission anyway, to make him happy and impress. Matsuo tried to persuade his dad to rest at home but it didn't work. His dad insisted to stay here and rested here better than at home. He meant watching me in the room actually.

It's creepy.

When he stood up and left, he would
glance at me with the creepy look before going inside the elevator. It's very creepy. It can send me shivers throughout my body. I even doubt Matsuo's dad got the power to send shivers when he glanced at you.

Today, the day as usual. The same person came. The same coffee. The same glance that can send me goosebumps. Nothing happened. Until...

"What?" I widened my eyes at him in disbelief.

"I'm planning to bring you, as my girlfriend to my house tomorrow." Matsuo explained once more and added 'girlfriend'.

"You've got to be kidding me." I told him, wrinkling my eyebrows at him.

"Unfortunately, I'm not." He shook his head in amusing. "I need you to wear something beautiful for tomorrow."

"Hey! I didn't say I agree it yet!" I stated to him. "Okay then. Now do you agree?" Matsuo asked. I considered it for a minute before nodding slowly "Okay. I will go." He grinned "Tomorrow. 12PM." And with that he began to go inside the elevator that the doors had been opened just now. "Are you coming in?" He questioned me.

I broke from my daze, stuttering "O-oh! Uhh..." I swiftly got inside the elevator as he pushed the button. "Let me take you home." He said breaking the awkwardness. "Sure." I agreed him casually. Matsuo then stared at me as if I've grown two heads. "I didn't know you would say yes easily." He stated out, rising an eyebrow. "Because I got a free tranportation and I don't need to waste my money on a bus." I told him with a smirk. Oh, nice one, a smirk, hahaha!

He chuckled "Since when do you learn how to smirk?" He wiggled his eyebrows in front of my face.

"I learnt it from you." The doors opened just in time as I stepped out along with Matsuo. "Oh really? Well I didn't realize." Matsuo smirked at me.

"And there's your smirk again." I pointed out, smirk glued on my face. "Now I realize I've been smirking a lot." He said in his fake surprise tone. "Yeah, a lot, at me." Matsuo and I approached the car and got in. Then drove off to my house.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

The next day, I got kipnapped.

Nah, I'm just kidding. But it's kind of a bit true, I got dragged by Matsuo from the bed instead of kipnapped. I think it looked like kipnapped to me. You can blame my mum. She let him in our house without me knowing it, as I was still asleep. He entered my room like a burglar to steal jewellery. He crept up closer to my bed and kneeled to see my face. The worst thing was I was drooling in my sleep. Yep, I'm dreaming. He snickered to himself before staring directly at me again.

I grunted, opening my eyes to reveal Matsuo's big face right in front of me.

I kicked him as he stumbled to the floor.

He rubbed his chest painfully since that's where I kicked before struggling to get up from the floor. I yawned, closing my mouth with my hand. "Why did you kick me?" Matsuo partically yelled at me. My answer was "Oh. I thought you were some thief trying to steal."

"Well, I'm not!" He said with his big frown. I stretched my arms up, yawning again "What are you doing here? How did you get in here?"

"It's almost 12PM. And you weren't awake yet. What did you do last night after going home?" He asked. "Watching TV." I replied with my direct answer.

"Go wash up."

I slowly slipped out of my bed, making my way to the bathroom. A couple of minutes later, I came out and saw Matsuo leaned against the doorframe while crossing his arms in front of his chest. I gazed at him oddly "What are you doing?"

He took out my clothes out of no where as he handed it to my openee hands. "Wear them." He said before walking away. I had admit that Matsuo was really strange today. I observed the clothes before realizing that it's mine. Wait...he just gone through my closet without my permission! My panties! My bras! ⊙﹏⊙NOOO!! He had seen it all! I rushed to my bedroom and checked my closet. Everything seemed neatly placed. Perhaps maybe I was over-panicked a bit...

I changed into the clothes which Matsuo gave me. He had sense of fashion. It looked great on me. I then stepped out of my room as I headed into the living room and saw Matsuo and my mum chatted happily. I cleared my throat to get their attention and it did. Everyone turned their heads simultenously. I tapped my foot impatiently when I eyed those two.

"Oh! Rei-chan, you're done." Mum said, before walking towards me. "Yeah. So what are you guys talking about?" I glanced at my mum, then Matsuo. They all zipped their mouth shut, and plus the aura, was strange.

"Umm...hello?"

"Oh nothing, dear. We were just talking about old stuffs." Mum first broke the awkwardness.

"What kind of old stuff?" I rose an eyebrow. Suddenly Matsuo stood up, making everyone turned their heads towards him. "Let's go." He announced before approaching the exit. Without another thought, I quickly bidded goodbye to my mum and followed beside him.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

I stared at the big building in front of me. It's been two years I hadn't see this house. Nothing changed. I hesitantly stepped inside after Matsuo opened the door. I looked around the corridor. It's not I never seen it before. It's just...nothing changed at all. Soon we're in the living room. "Stay here. I'll go call my dad." Matsuo ordered me. I just nodded like a good girl and instantly slumped down on the sofa comfortably.

He went upstairs to call his dad and I shifted in my seat. I heard the door closed from upstairs, thinking that it must be his dad coming down.

Later, someone cleared his throat as I spun and saw Matsuo's father. All good and healthy although he had an old age. He looked at me, almost like glared at me, as if wanted to kill me. I mean of course he wanted to kill me. I stole his son away from him and will marry a common girl instead of high rank rich girl. His dad sat across a sofa from me as Matsuo sat next to me. I bowed to his dad without standing and smiled a bit. "So you're Matsuo's girlfriend." His dad said. Obviously. Nope, I'm not going to answer it like that.

"Yes...Mr.Hagiwara." I said, remembering to keep my head down to avoid eye contact from him. I felt uncomfortable and awkward under his gaze. Afterwards, the atmosphere around us grew more tense as I gulped.

His dad then cleared his throat. "Rei-chan."

I lift up my eyes to meet his. It's surprise that he would say my name like that. "U-uhh...yes?"

"Would you..." He trailed off as I started to expect something "like to join us for dinner?"

My face brightened "Yes, I would like to join the dinner!"

"I wasn't finish yet." He said calmly, before adding "And you will cook for us for the dinner."

Ouh...I don't know if I can do it. Surely I did cooked at home, sometimes my mum did it but a big fancy feast?
