chapter 10

my eyes slowing open by the sun hitting my direction. i feel a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. shit!! did i end up sleeping here?! way to go!

"can we stay like this for 5 more minutes?" mikaela mumbled still half asleep. i blush before nodding, "y..yea..ofcourse." i stay still, closing my eyes to only open them again. "hey mikaela?" "hm?" i muster up the courage to ask. "what happened to your mother?" no reply.

"im sorry..i didn-" "she left the city, she thought leaving me here to a new family would be better for me." i say nothing. i honestly don't have anything to say. would a 'im sorry to hear that.' even help? i mean it can't do anything. maybe he's even grateful to have found a new family. i sigh, and turn around to face him. his blue eyes meet mine. he gives me a soft, and warm smile. "goodmorning." i return the smile, "goodmorning."

"goodmorning mr.amane." i turn to the source of the voice to meet the presence of the brunette maid from yesterday. i smile, "goodmorning!" she returns the smile back. "how's your day going so far?" i blink a few times, "it's..going well." the brunette nods, "that's good to hear!" "heh.." i give my attention to the book mikaela gave me earlier as a way to entertain me while he is at a meeting. i still feel the presence of the maid, making me feel awkward. just keep reading..she'll go away. . . . . . .

"beautiful day! is it not?" i close the book and settle it down on the table. she gets startled for a moment but smiles. again. "yes. it truly is." "im going to enjoy, and go outside for a bit. don't mind me!" i quickly stand up, and leave the maid alone with the book. left unread.

i take a few more steps into the garden before slightly turning back to check if she followed me. . . . . . "phew! i'm free!" i immediately close my mouth, and turn back once again. no sign of her. i smile, and continue walking. mikaela had a nice garden. there were no sign of dead flowers, it was one of those gardens you see in fairytale books. i inhale a large amount of air before exhaling. i smile. "beautiful sight, isn't it." the recognizable voice startles me. "mikaela! what are you doing here?" he only smiles, and walks closer to me. "i live here."
i roll my eyes, "weren't you supposed to be at a meeting?"

"it was a short meeting." he simply replies, wrapping his arms around my waist. "uh-huh.." "mhmm." i squint my eyes at him in suspicion. "why do i feel like it's a lie..?" he shrugs. "i dunno." he slowly kisses my neck, getting me off guard. "oi!- mikaela!" i whine. mikaela chuckles and stops.

"i love you yuichiro." he whispers into my ears. i blush. "i..i love you too." i whisper, embarrassed to admit my feelings out loud.
