Usagi Hoppu! 💛

Chapter 13

Usagi POV

"Francis wake up!" I smiled jumping in his bed.

"Leave me alone" he mumbled covering himself with his blanket.

"Please" I pouted.

He glared at me then made me face his back.

"Francis" I giggled crawling towards him.

My nose was sniffling while I smelt him.

"You....smell nice" I smiled softly.

He turned completely red.

"U....Usagi!" he blushed even harder.

"Awe! That's cute" I laughed.

I crawled under his arms.

"Warm" I hugged myself.

"Usagi....aren't you with Mr. Williams?" he didn't look at me.

"No, my friends just don't like how treat me so they made it up, but....I know you are a good person" I spoke softly.

"Oh...." he slowly wrapped his arms around me.

"Francis what are you doing?" I blushed a little.

"I'm....giving you a hug" he smiled nervously.

I somehow felt safe and comfortable while my ears moved rapidly.

"Sir, your father wants to-"

Carlton stared at us staring at him.

"Sorry for interrupting" he coughed closing back the door.

I blushed extremely as Francis hugged me tighter.

"Usagi.....I need to tell you something" he spoke softly.

"Francis I should be serving your father" I smiled nervously trying to escape.

"I love you" he said boldly.

I froze staring in his eyes.

"I....have to go" I ran out of his room.

He smiled softly staring at me while he combed his hair with his fingers.

I trembled going down the stairs. Valida smiled giving me a tray of food for Mr. Ross.

"Are....you okay?" she looked at me worriedly.

"Ye...yes" my voice became shaky.

I served Mr. Ross his food in the outside garden.

"You know my son rejected every girl at the party" he sighed.

"I'm sorry to hear that sir" I didn't look at him.

"You seem odd today" he glared at me.

"I....didn't eat anything" I smiled nervously.

"Here" he chuckled giving me a piece of his meat.

I sat down in front of him.

"Valida please give Usagi some food!" he smiled.

"Yes sir!" Valida saluted.

"Do you know any girls suitable for him?" he smirked.

"I'm not use to this love thing" I blushed a little.

"But you look beautiful, you must have a boyfriend" he laughed.

"I...focus more on my work than relationships" I sighed.

"I took Francis mother from him because she was addicted to drugs...and I didn't want him to see her like that," he sighed.

His dad wanted to protect him...

"I sent help for her and now she's living a great life but....I was hurt by her addiction so I kept pushing her out of Francis and my life," he drank his tea.

"I love her but....I found out the help I sent for her also betrayed me, he raped her" he said in a serious tone.

My heart skipped a beat while I stared at him.

"She has a child but somehow I can't face her and the child" he didn't look at me.

"I'm sorry.......what happened sir" I spoke softly.

"Nah it's fine" he smiled nervously.

"Shouldn't you tell Francis? He's old enough to understand" I sighed.

"He keeps avoiding me!" he wined.

"I'll talk to him" I smiled.

"Really?" his eyes sparkled.

"Yeah" I laughed.

Francis smiled looking at me as he leaned against a pillar in the garden.

"Son, why are you so happy today?" Mr. Ross smirked.

"Tst...." Francis didn't look at him.

"Francis....." I looked at them worriedly.

Francis sat beside me and played with my hair. I blushed extremely holding my skirt tightly.

"Oh...so that's why you rejected those girls" Mr. Ross said in a serious tone.

I trembled as he glared at me.

"Good choice" he laughed.

"Huh?" I became confused.

"You are a sweet girl, I understand why he chose you" he smiled.

"Dad stop talking" Francis glared at him.

Mr. Ross and I sighed looking at him. I explained everything about his mother and dad.

"I'm going.....to Carlton he called me" Francis walked away.

"He's...okay?" I looked at him worriedly.

"He is taking in the information, but don't worry he will understand" Mr. Ross smiled proudly.

"Yeah" I spoke softly.
