Atobe Keigo::[ I Can't Believe I Fell For You ]:: Chapter 10

“Hanami.” Keigo called opening my door.

“What?” I asked boredly my arm over my eyes.

“It’s dinner time. Ore-sama would like to escort you downstairs.” He wore his usual smirk.

“I’m not hungry. Ore-sama.” I was trying to piss him off.

“Why so rude? Is something bothering you?” He sat beside me. I removed my arm over my eyes and hit him lightly on the ribs.

“It’s no one but you.” Was my answer.

“Still so cold?” He put his hand over mine.

“So what? It’s not like I need to flirt with you just because of this stupid project.” I got pissed and moved his hand away.

“Of course you do. Not because of this project though. Ore-sama just feels like it.”

“Whatever. Now get out.” My head was starting to hurt, yet again.

“Ore-sama will just ask the maids to bring you some food.” He got out of my room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Lady Hanami.” A maid knocked on my door.

“Enter.” I said weakly. I hope she heard it.

“Ms. Hanami, Master Keigo told me to bring this to you.” She said as she pushed in a trolley. I just stared at the food then to the maid.

“I’m not hungry.” I turned to my side facing the window.

“But Lady Hanami, you need to eat.” She was being concerned for some reason.

“I don’t know why I don’t feel like eating today but I’m just not hungry. Tell him I said goodnight.” I smiled at the maid who bowed before leaving. What’s wrong with me today? And since when was Keigo concerned about me. I’ll just ask him tomorrow. Maybe.

Next day

~*~*~*~*~*

“Feeling better Hanami?” Yuushi asked.

“A bit. Have you told my parents about this?” I asked Yuushi as I sat up

“Yes. They wanted me to tell you that you should rest.”

“Ya think?”

“Well, Atobe wants to talk to you. Anyway, did you have any fun?” His concerned expression turned into an evil naughty one.

“NO. And I don’t get you. Sometimes you’re forcing me into this and sometimes you’re pulling me out.” I gave him a confusing look.

“Just because.” He was smirking. Then a knock on the door was heard. It must be Atobe.

“Don’t leave me alone with Atobe please?” I gave Yuushi puppy dog eyes. He smirked even more.

“Sorry but I forgot I need to go to somewhere right about…now.” He stated. I held his arm tightly and hugged it.

“No!” I was getting irritated.

“Atobe, you can come in now.” He said purposely pissing me off. Guess what. He succeeded. So, I bit his arm. I know. Sucky. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

“Ouch! Hanami!” He whined. Atobe, I mean keigo got in my room and saw what happened.

“Hanami, what are you doing?” He asked.

“None of your business.” I said as I let Yuushi’s arm go but bit it again afterwards.

“Help me Atobe. She’s too stubborn.” Yuushi winked at Atobe.

“Alright. Ore-sama shall help you.”Keigo played along. He pulled my arm causing me to let Yuushi’s arm go setting him free.

“Atobe!” I whined. I tried to grab Yuushi's arm again but Atobe hugged me from behind.Then what I just called him registered in his mind.

“Hanami, since when did you start calling Ore-sama by his last name again?” He got confused.

“I figured I just need to call you Keigo when we’re around school.” I explained not knowing that Yuushi already left.

“Call me Keigo otherwise my parents and grandparents will get confused.” He has a point.

“Right… wait a sec. Where’s Yuushi?” I asked as I looked around the room.

“He left Hanami. He gave you to Ore-sama.” He joked putting his face beside mine while leaning his head on my shoulder.

“Shut up. I’m not yours.” I was getting even more irritated.

“Yes you are. We’re married remember? Speaking of which, Ore-sama would like to ask a little favor from you.” His smirk grew wider.

“What is it Ore-sama?” I asked boredly.

“Hmm…I’ll just ask you when you’re feeling better.” He stood up and patted my head before leaving my room.

Few days later…

“Hanami, you missed a lot of lessons when you were sick.” Sachie squealed as I got in the classroom.

“Yeah. And the marriage project was like totally bogus.” Akemi added.

“Actually I didn’t miss out on a lot coz’ Yuushi and Keigo were helping me. And yes. I know. The marriage project is like so not fun especially when you’re with Keigo. He’s like so playful.” I whined as I sat down on my chair.

“What do you mean?!” The two were on my face.

“Woah. Chill. What do you mean ‘what do you mean’?” I was confused.

“What do you mean playful?” They asked in unison.

“He likes to play ‘house house’ a lot and takes the marriage project seriously.” I explained.

“How serious?” They both asked glaring a bit.

“Did you two rehearse?” I was trying to change the topic.

“How serious?” They were getting firey eyes.

“Yeah…as in he was like totally waking me up every morning and…”

“Atobe-sama!” I was cut off by the girls. Whew. For the first time I’m glad they did that otherwise I could’ve been French toast.

“Atobe-sama! Sit here!” Sachie squealed pointing at the free seat beside her.

“Of course my dear.” He said then proceeded beside Sachie.

“Excuse me Ore-sama. Just what do you think you’re doing?” I asked a bit enraged. But not because of jealousy.

“Why is that Hanami? Jealous?” He smirked at me.

“No. Just stop flirting with my friend.” I said boredly.

“Hanami stop it! Can’t you see I’m trying to flir- I mean make friends here?” Sachie yelled.

“Well sorry. It’s just that girls flirting with Atobe makes me wanna hurl.” I retorted.

“Is that why you let me kiss you?” Atobe shot back.

“What?!” I asked enraged with the other girls in unison.

“Go ahead Hanami. Tell them. I kissed you a couple times before going to school too. And in my limo while going to school. By the way, I like the flavor of your lip balm." He smirked even more.

“You’re lying! Why would I let you kiss me?! In your dreams loser!” I yelled completely pissed off. Why would he say that?! I mean I don’t even let him hug me!

“Hanami! Is this true?!” Agito snarled at me.

“No you baka! I don’t even let that creep hug me! And besides, would someone like me, especially me, let a guy like him kiss me?! I hate him remember?!” I got extremely pissed as I stomped my feet.

“Well, you have a point. But I still trust Atobe-sama more than you!” She glared at me.

“But… I don’t even… Atobe! You’re such a liar!” I pinned him with a death glare.

“Ore-sama knew you couldn’t go that far with this.” He smirked even more.

“So it isn’t true?” The girls calmed down. A bit.

“Of course not!” I yelled.

“Atobe-sama?” Looks like they still don’t believe me.

“No. It isn’t true.” He explained. It was my turn to calm down.

Lunch

~*~*~*~*~*

“Spill. Why did you do that?” I gaveKeigo firey eyes.

“Nothing. Ore-sama just felt like it.” He replied. That pissed me off.

“You are so evil!” I said in a whispering tone so the girls wouldn’t hear.

“Hanami-chan, did you see the ‘Get well soon’ comments I sent you?” Gakuto asked elbowing me lightly.

“Oh. Sorry. I didn’t have time to open my friendster account.” I replied smiling at him.

"Wait a sec. Gakuto knows how to make comments?":Shishido asked.
"Of course I do! I am not stupid!" The redhead whined. Shishido rolled his eyes.
“Hanami, did you have any fun the past few days? I heard from Oshitari that you were--“ Shishido asked but I cut him off.

“How many times do I have to tell you, don’t mention things like that to me!” I ‘accidentally’ yelled.

“Oh great.” I muttered really quietly to myself as I sunk in my seat avoiding the stares I was gaining.

Home Economics…Help!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Hanami, you missed out a lot on this project.” Sensei said as she eyed me.

“Well, not really since Keigo helped me catch up.” I smiled at her. Fake smile.

“In that case, we can start our lesson now. Everyone turn to page 188.” She said while smiling her usual smile. The smile which creeps me out. A lot. Second to Keigo.

Dismissed

~*~*~*~*~*

“Bye Hanami!” Sachie and my other friends waved good bye to me.

“Bye.” I simply replied.

“Hanami.” Agito snarled at me.

“What?” I was getting confused.

“Can we have a private talk?” She asked with firey eyes.

“Sure.” I said. She dragged me to the girls’ bathroom and locked the door.

“Hey! What is your problem?!” I got pissed.

“You! Remember, get too close to Atobe-sama and you’re dead meat!” She yelled at my face.

“And why is that? I don’t even like him.” I kept my cool even though I wanted to hit her on the face so badly.

“Well, Atobe-sama is a gentle man so he’d probably ‘try’ to notice you. But here’s what I gotta say.” She leaned closer to my face. "You don’t deserve a guy like him.” She finished with a fully angered expression.

“And what if I get too close to him?” I smirked with a plan forming in my head.

“I’m gonna kick your ass.”

“I’m gonna kick your ass.” I mocked her then smirked before finally leaving. “Why the hell did she do that in the first place? We’ll see who’s gonna win.” I smirked at my thoughts.

“Keigo-kun!” I yelled catching up with Atobe.

“What is it Hanami?” He asked as I smiled at him. He linked his arms with mine.

“I thought we’re going home.” I gave him puppy dog eyes.

“Okay babe. But Ore-sama thought you said you didn’t want to ride to school or go home riding today.” He gave me a confusing look. A few seconds later I saw Agito walking out of the school gates. I smirked at her.

“Well, my head hurts again.” I clutched my hair with my free hand looking down trying to hide my smirk.

“Okay. Let’s go babe.” He carried me bridal style into the car.

“Kay.” I rested my head into his chest making Agito pissed.

“Atobe-sama!” She yelled running to us before Atobe could close the door.

“What is it fan girl?” Atobe asked. Fan girl? I gave Agito a look that says ‘Sorry loser’ which made her glare at me. Atobe saw that and decided to look at me. “Babe, did something happen between you and this fan girl?” He asked.

“No. Why?” I gave him an innocent look.

“I thought I saw her glare at you.” He turned back to Agito.

“Atobe-sama, could you help me with Greek today? I find our homework hard.” She said.

“Ore-sama would. But I already have other plans with Hanami. Maybe some other time.” He smirked at Agito before closing the door. “So, what made you act like this?” He asked as he turned to me.

“A little challenge.” I smirked at him.

“And what would that challenge be?” Ha asked as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

“Secret.” My smirk grew wider.

“Get out of the way!” The driver yelled alarming us.

“What the hell?!” I screamed as the car stopped into a sudden break.

“What is it driver?” Atobe asked the driver. I flinched when I realized he’s hugging me. Probably protecting me. But why would he?

“There’s a girl in front of the car. But she’s gone now.” The driver said. He started the car again and began driving.

“You can get off me anytime now.” I said sarcastically as I looked at him.

“Sorry.” He got up.

“Who could that be? Maybe the fan girl earlier.” I muttered

“Atobe or rather Keigo, we do have homework in Greek. I know you’re acing this class so…” I trailed off.

“I’ll help you of course.” He said gleefully.

Home

~*~*~*~*~*

“Welcome back Master Keigo, Lady Hanami.” The maids and butlers greeted. I smiled at them warmly as I followed Atobe inside.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

“So Keigo, what’s the answer for number 3?” I asked hoping he wouldn’t notice that I wasn’t studying.

“Letter b.” He replied really concentrated. Yuushi’s right. He can be an idiot sometimes.

“Baka.” I whispered really quietly to myself.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Hanami, it’s dinner time.” Lina called. (The nice maid. Remember?) I smiled at her and stood up from my seat. I saw Atobe waiting for me by the stairs along with….a dog? The dog wagged its tail and barked happily at me.

“Beat seems to like you babe.” Atobe said as he looked at his his dog then to me.

“Beat?” I asked.

“Yeah. That’s his name.” He answered while approaching me. He linked his arms with mine and went downstairs. That’s a long way to go. Really loooong. Beat followed us.

“How come I just saw him now?” I asked a bit irritated that the dog is licking my leg.

“Coz’ he got sick and he has to stay at the vet’s.” He said while looking at the dog. Wow. He must be really attached to that lil’ cutie.
Dinner was awesome as usual. We had lobster and roasted beef. Atobe’s favorite. For dessert we had chocolate flavored ice cream and more.And right after Beat finished his meal it crept under the table and rubbed its fur on my legs. It feels so comfortable. He even fell asleep. I wonder if I can play with him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“I wanna play with Beat.” I demanded while pouting at Atobe.

“Of course my lovely dear. You can play with him tomorrow. You need to sleep now.” He said as he opened my door.

“Kay. Night night. Sleep tight.” I smiled at him.

“Good night.” He said before closing my door. I kinda got used to his attitude. Although I miss home a lot. His mansion is twice the size of ours. And I wonder about the party on Friday.
