Chapter 8

KANAME’S OFFICE

Kaname is taking a short break after spending hours looking through all the papers and plans scattered all over his table. He leaned backward on his chair and rubs his forehead.He was so tensed that he didn’t get his mind free for even a second.He suddenly remembered the times he spent with his ex fiancé,Haruka. He really misses Haruka he thought but a part of him is mad that Haruka left him,but another part wishes for Haruka to come back to him.And start over.

Kaname : You are the only woman I can love Haruka.The only one.(sigh)

Kaname’s thoughts were cut off when he heard a knock on his door.He quickly gathered he senses and straighten his back before asking the person to come in.

Kaname : Come in.

Mia : Im here to give you this!

Mia placed a white envelope on his table and look at him

Mia : God,you need to get married.Really.(looking at Kaname’s messy table)

Kaname : Whats with the sudden notion?(confused)

Mia : I mean look at you.So…messy.

Kaname : Okay,that’s enough.

Mia : Seriously Kaname.Everything happened for a reason.

Kaname : (confused)

Mia was already half way to the door but then she stopped and turn around.

Mia : There is a reason why she came here Kaname.There is always a reason for everything.

Mia closed the door before Kaname could even respond to her words.Kaname looked at the closed door and he finally realized what Mia meant.

Kaname : (speechless)

PANTRY

Risa was sitting on the bar,not doing anything but stares at the white wall.

Risa  : I can die of boredom here.If not for this stupid uncle,I would have ran away earlier (sighs)

Suddenly Risa remembered that Karin asked her to just get anything from the pantry if she is hungry,she eyed the pantry and saw a box of Rocky. She tiptoed to get it but then as she was reaching for it,somebody else walked into the pantry.

Isane :Do you need help?

Risa was too shocked to  hear Isane’s voice that she suddenly tripbutbefore she could fall on the pantry’s floor,Isane was fast enough to  catch her waist and pulled her to him.

Isane : Are you okay?(shocked)

Risa was still taken aback because everything happened too fast and she didn’t realize that Isane’s hand is still around her waist and the other hand is holding her hand.If not for Isane’s  hands,she would have collapse on the floor because her mind is not even working at all.

Risa :….

Isane : Okumura?

Isane was looking straight at RIsa and none of them moved.

Risa : Oh my god(shocked)

Isane : (looking at her)

Risa quickly stepped back and  rubs her forehead

Risa : I am so so so sorry.Really,I didn’t mean to jump or fall.Wait,nevermind.But ,I am really sorry .I am sorry you had to …you know..catch me (worried)

Isane : (laughing)

Risa : ….. (confused)

Isane : You are funny Okumura. Its my luck anyway.

Risa : …luck?

Isane : Anyway,you were reaching for this right?

Isane took the Rocky box and handed it to Risa.

Risa : (looking at the Rocky)

Isane : Yes..?

Risa : Oh yes,thank you so much

Isane : No problem at all(smiles)

Isane went straight to the fridge and took a can of coffee.He then turned around to face Risa,again.

Isane : May I ask why are you here alone?Arent you suppose to be with Kaname?

Risa : I rather be with a dead cow than having to stay with him all the time (annoyed)

Isane : (laughing)

Risa : Wait,I didn’t mean it that way.

Isane : Sure you did (laughing)

Isane took a seat at the opposite site of the bar table and opened his drink.

Risa : (sigh)

Isane : Come and sit here.Dont worry.I don’t eat people.

Risa: I know that

Isane : So,I supposed Kaname forced you into this?

Risa : Does everyone in this office knows about it?(confused)

Isane : Everyone.

Risa : This is such a fuss

Isane : But you are not really his girlfriend,are you?

Risa : Do I look like I have interest in him?

Isane : Kaname is every women’s taste.

Risa : Not in my planet.

Isane : Oh really?

Risa : I would rather date a scare crow than having to date him.

Isane : Would a living scare crow do?

Risa : Is there any living scare crow anyway….

Isane : They used to call me a scare crow before.

Risa : Who?(confused)

Isane : Me.

Risa : (looking at Isane with a confused look)

Isane : (laughing)

Risa : What are you trying to imply actually…

Isane : Anyhow,I still have my chance.

Risa : What?

Isane : A chance.

Risa : To what..?

Isane : You.

Risa : (confused)

Isane stood and smiled at Risa before leaving the pantry. Risa was left speechless  and she didn’t even move an inch after the conversation ended.

Risa : What is wrong with all the guys here…(facepalm)
