Primrose

Chapter 14

Shu's P.O.V

I stared at the confused girl before I let go of her wrist and laid on my back. 

"I don't want my brothers near you." She stared at me in confusion.

"They are your family-" I glared at her making her pause for a second before she began to speak again. "Aren't they?"

"Apparently you and I have a different understanding of the word, family."

"Family is someone who would care for you, protect you, and love you no matter what. " She was right but the people who I knew, didn't seem like that." I turned my head to see Lucy staring at me. She looked worried. "Shu-kun"

"What?"

"This job that you want to do..." She blushed hard. "If your father were to find out that I had a girl, what do you think would happen?" So she was thinking of doing the job? If anything I thought she would rebel.

"So you are doing the job?" She looked at me in my eyes but her facial expression had been one of embarrassment.

"I didn't say that." I sat up and looked at her. 

"Then what did you say?" I showed her my usual emotionless face but noticed that her face reddened more than before. Surprising me, how could she blush that much?

" If your father were to find out that I had a girl, keyword if, what do you think would happen?" I  laid on my back.

"Nothing"

"So he will not be angry?"

"He will be and probably make me try again with you or another woman." Her eyes widened as I said another woman. Her eyebrows furrowed.

"What do you mean another woman?"

"Are you actually jealous?"

"No, I just do not like being used. Let me guess, this whole tutoring thing is a sham and he just wants a woman to do... this so-called job he has offered you?" I closed my eyes and ignored her question. The sound of the door opening and closing caught my ear. I opened my eyes only to see that Lucy had left the room. Just what was she going to do?
