CHAPTER 13

The rumored couple (part one)

OLIVER.

I looked at my watch and I saw that it was almost 1: 20 pm and it’s lunchtime so I decided to meet up with Harumi in Greenwich. It was all on her, after all. So who am I to decline if she’s going to treat me anyway? Starting as an architect here and as an intern wasn’t easy. Because all day and night I have spent my time doing nothing but to think about my designs and my plates and I also even experienced that my designs were decline. So I guess this is my starting point to reach my dreams.

I must say that I was really surprised when I started working here as an intern. But it's alright either way, since this is a preparation for me when I become an architect, so I didn't mind having a tough work in here. As long as I can learn as an architect, then it would be better. I quickly grabbed my cigarettes, and then I heard the girls were shouting. How weird of that fujioshi girl! In a time like this, she should be thinking about her doujinshi, yet she isn't doing anything. What's gotten to her? Not that I was curious about it, but I guess I should go and see them.

My eyes widened as soon as I saw Momo got out of balanced. I lend my hand to her and I decided to help her then, “Are you okay? Of course not, haha. Not in that kind of state. You seemed weaker--”

“You're not going to tell everyone about this!” She said irritatedly and I just gulped as I stare at her. She's quite scary, haha! I can feel so intimidated by her right now. Though, I know she's nice, and she's like a sister to Satchan it was just that I was surprised on how she acted. Tch, why the hell am I even concerned to this? Normally, I wouldn't even care about other people's issues anyway. It's not like I really cared about other people's issues, you know.

I just sighed deeply, and I sighed, and then I took off my coat and put it on her, “I really don't know what's happening but fix yourself. Just go home for today, Ms. Secretary. Just leave it to me, I'll explain it on your behalf. It's fine you know, I'm used to being someone's shield anyway so use me wisely! I have gotten used to this already, haha." I reminded her, and she just rolled her eyes at me.

As much as I wanted to ask Satsuki about this,, but she's too busy on interrogating that pretty boy outside. They looked so serious on their conversation as well. I'm worried about that. Well, she got her wild imaginations, you know! I heard that man decided to work here as a receptionist for his personal reasons. Originally, he was a Doctor Pediatrician. He seems so mysterious. I just don't get it. If he's already a doctor, why would he force himself to have a part-time job here? I can't seem to understand Aouli. He seemed so deep. I gripped on my hair and I sighed, why would I even care anyway? Obviously, it's not even my issue.

“I wonder what are they going to talk about?” Harumi asked

“Ask the moon, then!” I hissed at her

Harumi rolled her eyes at me, and she just glared at me, “Whatever, doofus.” Wow, isn't she being sweet to me immediately

She crossed her arms to me, and she just laughed at me loudly, “That's why Momo acted a bit bitchy to you earlier, blame that on your sharp tongue. And that's also the reason you don't have any girlfriend.” Harumi pointed at me, and she just laughed at me even more.

“What a confidence girl. As if you got some boyfriend yourself. You didn't even have one. That hottie from Seaton didn't even care about you, are you really even trying hard to get him? Oh, I forgot. You guys didn't even have any label with him. I really pity you there, ugly." I said bluntly and Harumi just rolled her eyes at me, and she just tapped her heels out of frustration. Pft, when we talk about her crush she can be easily affected by it, huh?

And what? Me, falling in love?

It looks like it can be impossible. All I know is that I was so irritated by that woman. That Akari Youko.

She makes me so irritated. She was so annoying in the LTR! Furthermore, she's so annoying! Not only that, but she even almost poured the coffee in my blueprints. I'd be damned if she does that. Well, that blueprints is a matter of life and death if you ask me. And why do I even care about her fashion trends? What was that again? A Chanel branded bag? As if I care. The more that I think about that girl, it makes my head boil whenever I concerned myself with her. I just hope that I can never bump with her again because she's just annoying me. Plus, I needed to review on my Geometry today. That was just some annoying woman Architect Oliver Huang, don't tell me that you're going to be affected to her? No way. She can act like a brat like she wants, but I will never back down to this.

Damn it. I shouldn't be thinking about that woman. It's distracting me. Whatever, I'm just going to grab something to eat then. I highly doubt that Harumi would go with me because without Satsuki she would never go anywhere. They were somehow acting like twins. When it comes to BL and anime, the two of them can just relate towards one another.

I decided to go to Chowking to have some lunch. I decided to order a Lauriat and coke for my meal. Then after that I went upstairs to look for my place, but then I was suddenly surprised when a girl pointed at me and shouted at me,

“HEY, YOU!” She shouted, but I acted as if I didn't even care at all. I'm so hungry, I don't have time for fights like this. Don't start with me for this.

I already got into trouble when I saved her back then. Don’t tell me that she was here to give me some trouble. She’s not funny. I put my food on my table and then I just stared at the woman who suddenly got closer to me. She has blonde and long curly hair, she was almost 5’6 in her height and she got thick eyebrows and fair skin. She looked so elegant and she was so pretty. Her make-up suits her a lot. I just can’t help but to mesmerized by her beauty. She took off her sunglass and she raised an eyebrow at me, “I supposed, you remember me right?” She asked.

“Remember your face, ugly,” I said and I smirked at her. Because of how sarcastic sounded I could be, she can’t help but feel mad about it and she showed me her usual moods that she used to show me. Damn, I really can’t deal with this woman. She got some attitude that I hate. Oh no, I think I have done something that I shouldn’t have done.

“Hey, you! Why are you so rude to me? As if you didn’t something terrible to me back then in the LRT! Look, I don’t even care if you’re an architect or what but you need to pay for that!” She said irritatedly and she keeps on tapping her heels because of her frustrations towards me because of how I messed up with her. Haha, whatever! I don’t care about that. I crossed my arms and I tried teasing her even more and tried to copy her voice and I smiled at her, “Why are you so rude to me~”

“Look, miss. I don’t think I have to pay you for something or what, okay? So let me at peacefully, miss.”I said to her and I cut my fried chicken in a halved and then I started eating. She’s just wasting my precious time, you know. And what do I need to do to pay her, huh? I didn’t even tell her to follow me in here. Tss. This woman is seriously irritating me. I just can’t deal with her. She keeps on rolling her eyes!

My messenger suddenly pops out of the sudden and looks like Satsuki managed to talk to Aouli. Good thing then. But just like I said, that girl is not even normal. What the hell is this? She even threatens Aouli to become her seke character? Seriously, that woman! If there’s a handsome man she does have some wild imaginations on them, I bet she tried to get his attention just for Aouli to say yes for her to get some inspiration then. I’m the only one who was embarrassed in here. Good thing that I don’t have feelings for that girl already and it’s not that important anyway plus I’m already over her since high school.

She suddenly sat in front of me and she hissed at me, “I’m even here to make a deal with you and you’re just teasing me! You’re so irritating,”

You’re an annoying brat to me, as well. So I guess it’s quits.

Damn it, I can’t stop myself from not getting mad at this girl. If she’s near at me, she was always finding for a fight. And there’s a lot of people that she can just easily be irritated why did she choose to mess up with my life now? I put down my fork and then I drank my coke and then I stared at her, “What great timing that you have huh little girl. You’d choose to mess with me now? I still have work after this. Get out of my way.”I said irritatedly. What? She was the one who started this. Don’t go home crying now, little girl.

“What did you just call me?!” Akari glared at me and I just rolled my eyes at her. Tch, she’s becoming even more annoying. Can’t she just leave?

“Seriously, what do you need from me? So that you can stop being a dog and tailing me, okay? As I said, I don’t have time for this. I still have work after this. The Civil Engineers needs me.” I just answered her and she got closer to me and she grabbed my necktie and she kissed me. My eyes suddenly widened because of what she has done to me. She put her arms around my shoulders and she kissed me passionately. She breathed a bit and she looked at me seriously,” Be my pretend boyfriend, in that way you won’t be in trouble by my fans. So that you won’t be able to get into trouble as well.Not a bad deal right? And don’t even try to say no because you can never escape me anyways. know that you're hime-danshi. If you don't want me to expose that you love yuri then you have to obey me then architect.” She suddenly smirked at me and I just quickly stand up and I covered my mouth and I suddenly blushed because of it. What the hell is wrong with this woman?

[Some notes: Himedanshi (姫男子, "princess boy") is a Japanese slang term for male fans of yuri media. The term is a mirror to "fujoshi" (female fans of yaoi). It is said to be derived from the yuri anthology Yuri Hime. An older meaning of "himedanshi" is slang for a gay man who is "neko" (feminine or submissive)

seke/switch - can either be a seme or uke[in bl terms]

I suddenly touched my lips and I couldn’t stop blushing. That woman is crazy! Does she think that she can just order me around just like that? She’s wrong about that. Because at this moment, I refused to fall in love with her! I would never fall in love with her!
