• I couldn’t believe I had slept until Sunday. Since I kept having the same nightmare the whole week, plus I had to stay up an extra night; my sleeping habits became worse. But thank goodness I woke up just in time. I looked at my table clock, it read ten in the morning. I rushed downstairs so quickly that I didn’t even change. I was still wearing my green tank top and matching clover pajama bottoms.
    Going down the stairs, I slid down the railing. I loved doing that.
    “There she is, good morning sleepyhead.” Shiori said. I didn’t look at her, only waved as I rushed into the living room and turned on the TV.
    “We now bring you, Serious Love.” I could almost scream! I was definitely addicted to this show.
    “Kyoko, why are you doing this? I told you I was serious about you.”
    “I’m sorry Shigeru, but I’ve fallen in love with another man! And I must follow my heart!” Oh no, what is Kyoko thinking?! I thought.
    “Who is this man you’ve fallen for?!”
    “It is…your brother!”
    “My brother? You mean Melvin?”
    “No, your other brother with the weird haircut.”
    “Toby?”
    “No! It’s me!”     Another guy appeared!!!
    “Shou?!”
    “Yes brother. I’m now her lover.”     My eyes went wide. I did NOT see THAT coming.
    “No!!!” Shigeru yelled out on his knees.
    “We’ll be right back with, Serious Love.” It went to commercial.
    “Interesting, I didn’t know Miki was into this type of show.” I turned around and saw Kei and Shiori watching me. Why was Kei here?!
    “You left you phone on my coffee table.” He smiled, as if he was replying to my question.
    “Yeah, and he called the last number that you dialed. Me.” Shiori also smiled, as she pointed to herself.
    This was weird, why were they so happy?!
    “So it seems that Miki DID spend the night with a boy.”
    “Whatever he said is a lie Shiori!!!” I shouted.
    “So you didn’t take care of him while he was sick?” She asked.
    “Oh, is that what he said? Then of course everything he said was true.” I smiled embarrassingly. I could hear his low chuckle in the corner from where he stood.
    “Well I must be on my way. I’ve got a date.” Shiori said.
    “Wait!” I ran after her before she walked out of the door, “what do I do with him?!” I whispered.
    “Do what you did with him before. Take care of him.” She whispered back. “Well, bye-bye.” She waved and closed the door. I stood there, lifeless. I just wanted to sleep in, watch my drama, and be lazy! I hate this! I hate this! I hate this!
    “Hey, I’m hungry.” He said. I turned around and walked into the kitchen. Kei was looking around in the fridge.
    “Why are you still here?” I asked as he kept searching.
    “I’m hungry, what else?”
    “Well go to your house!”
    “Can’t, I have nothing there.” Oh, that’s right. He’s alone…
    “Then go out to eat!” I said.
    “Make me something to eat.” He shut the fridge.
    “Make you something to eat?! I stayed up all night before, taking care of your fever!” Kei turned to me sharply. He slowly walked over.
    “And who was the one who gave me that fever?” He was already cornering me, and leaning in closer. “Because I was abandoned by you after I helped you! Now, you will become my servant.” I did abandon him, it was all my fault…
    “Fine, I’ll help you.” I turned my head to the side. He chuckled.
    “Good. And while your at it, you might want to change your clothes before I REALLY attack you. That top is too revealing.” My eyes widened. I looked down at my tank top, then back at him. He was smiling. And that’s all I could take, so I screamed.

    “You know, you’re very violent and loud.” Kei commented. I was cooking his freaking food while he sat at the kitchen table, watching and rubbing his face. After I had screamed, I had hit him and gone upstairs to change into a t-shirt and jeans.
    “In school, you’re like a perfect angel. Not even the bullies want to bully you. You’re just too nice. As for me…I like to tease angels such as yourself.” Suddenly hands were on my waist. I lost my step and somehow managed to elbow him. He didn’t make a sound, however he did go back quietly to the table. Good, distance is the key!
    “I don’t know you well enough for you to touch me like that.” I sneered.
    “Oh really? But it was ok for you to come into somebody else’s home uninvited?” He asked.
    “Do you even remember what happened yesterday?!” I looked at him.
    “Nope, all I saw was that I woke up on the couch. Half naked!!! So please explain, miss pervert!”
    “That’s because you undressed yourself! You collapsed, so I helped you to the couch! The whole night, I helped control your fever! Somewhere in all that mess, you were complaining that it was too hot and began to undress yourself!” I turned off the stove and was about to run to my room. But when I passed the table, he grabbed my arm. I stopped, even though I wanted to run like the wind.
    “I’m still hungry.” He said as his stomach growled. My temper rose, and I screamed again.
    “Get out now!!!” I pushed Kei out the door and locked him out. How dare he!!!
    My cell phone suddenly started to ring. I walked over to the kitchen table to pick it up.
    “Hello?” I answered. I could hear breathing on the other end.
    “Hello?” I said again.
    “How are you…Miki?” My eyes went wide…
    “From your silence, I can tell you still remember my voice.”
    “How did you get my number?” I asked.
    “Did you really think you could keep it from me? What did you intend on doing, just running off like that? I won’t let you go. Did you forget? You can’t hide from me Mick, you’re mine.” The line went dead.
    How did he find me? I dropped to the floor in astonishment…
