My "Ikemen" Butler

Chapter 10: My Butler Wanted

             “Ojou-sama, breakfast time,” Kaoru said as he walked in Hiromi’s room. “Hai!” Hiromi said happily as she grabbed her books and her backpack and joined him.

            “Here. I’ll take that,” Kaoru said after awhile and grabbed the book from Hiromi. “Arigato guzaimasu,” Hiromi replied smiling. “You look good in that uniform by the way. Red really suits you,” Hiromi added referring to the school’s uniform.

            “Arigatou ojou-sama. You too by the way but you always look pretty anyways,” he said with an embarrass laugh.

            “Stop joking,” Hiromi said pushing Kaoru lightly on the shoulders as she laughed lightly.

            “It’s no joke. Ojou-sama is probably the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen,” Kaoru said in all seriousness looking intensely at Hiromi’s eyes.  

            Hiromi forced herself to avert her eyes but for some weird reason, she can’t. It’s like it was glued no Kaoru’s own tantalizing eyes at that moment.

            It wasn’t until they heard giggling passed by them that they broke off the “staring-at-one another thing and they were finally able to move on to what they were supposed to do.

            “Here!” Tetsuya called out to both of them as they walked into the dining hall. Hiromi sat down immediately while Kaoru put down their stuff first before getting breakfast for Hiromi and himself.

            “You look like you’re in a happy mood again today,” Tetsuya noticed as Hiromi had this bright smile on her face.

            “You know I’ve noticed, checking my mood is the first thing you do in the morning,” Hiromi said giggling at her own joke.

            “Cause I’ve also noticed recently that if you’re not in a good mood somehow, something bad happens to me.

            “Oh yeah, like what?” Hiromi asked curiously.

            “Like when you left the room in haste yesterday, I was pretty sure you were in a bad mood so I wanted to see where you’re going but I bumped into Tristan and he made me spill my milk all over my clothes,” he said sounding upset just remembering what happened.

            “Hi…Hiromi?” Tetsuya said confusingly after awhile cause the bright smile that was on Hiromi’s face earlier seemed to have gone with the wind.

            “It’s nothing. But please, don’t mention Tristan’s name if it’s not necessary. Just the hear of it and it already makes me bloody furious,” Hiromi answered grumpily now.

            “Gu…gumenasai,” Tetsuya said awkwardly as he rubbed his head in confusion.

            They suddenly became silent then and the both of them finally got aware of what had been going on around them while they were having that conversation.

            “Oh my gosh he’s so cute,” a girl whom Hiromi recognized as Pricilla which she met at the introductory party said as she was looking at someone.

            “I know right? Are you sure he’s our age? He looks like he could just be 14 or something,” her friend which Hiromi only recognized by face, answered her.

            Both Hiromi and Tetsuya looked at who they were talking about and saw that there was only one person there in the buffet table-----Kaoru.
