MOMOI

Ridiculous. I can't help but think of that word over and over again.

Ridiculous.

What's wrong with Domyouji? All this time, he's been hanging all over Makino and he has never bothered telling her that he has a fiancee? That's what is ridiculous. This is why I hate the male species.

They just can't be trusted.

"I think it's all just a big misunderstanding."

Of course he's here and talking to me. The guy doesn't know when to stop. He's freaking annoying me already.

"I don't care what you think. I need to find Makino."

I turn to the right and he follows me.

"Why don't you go find someone else to annoy?"

"Because you fascinate me. And you're cute when you're mad."

"If you don't leave me the hell alone right now, I'm going to scream that you're harassing me," I threaten.

He doesn't even budge. My threat even seems to amuse him, if that smirk on his face is any indication. "Go on. No one will come for you, anyway."

I ball my hand to fists. You want to play games, Stalker-san? Fine! Have a taste of your own medicine!

Without taking my eyes off him, I step forward and unbutton the frst few buttons of my shirt. I see him swallow hard and start to move away, but I pin him with my gaze. When I'm standing just a few inches from him, I shoot him a wicked smile before I scream my lungs out.

"HELP!!! HE'S HARASSING ME!!! PLEASE STOP--"

With wide eyes, he puts his hand over my mouth to shut me up, pulling me tight against him with the other so that I can't break free or sream again.

"Stop it, Momoi! Someone might hear you. Do you really want to get me in trouble?"

I thrash my arms and legs, until I am able to bite his hand hard. But before I can scream again, we're on the ground---me over him, strddling his hips. I feel my face burning up.

"In this position, there will be no doubt in the mind of whoever will see, who the one being harassed is," he says smugly, and I can tell he's trying to catch his breath.

As I am about to speak again, he puts a hand up to stop me. "If you screa, like that again, I'll kiss you to shut you up," he warns.

I open my mouth to argue, and then close it again. I can't risk it.

"It seems like I've finally found a way to shut you up," he brags.

ANd being the girl that I am, I don't want to lose. I want to wipe that smug grin on his face and the only way to do that is to prove him wrong and turn the tables.

I lean down and press my lips against his. Just a soft, butterfly kiss. When I pull away, he slowly opens his eyes, and there's a glazed look in them. The intense way he's lookng at me right now makes me want to melt. But I won't. He opens his mouth to speak, and then closes it again -- much like what I did earlier.

This time, the smirk is mine. "Now, who's renderd speechless? Not me, obviously." And then I get up quickly and leave him lying on the sand with a stunned look on his face.
