Kissed by the Baddest Bidder (Daughters) [COMPLETED]

Ota-fourteen

"And what? You jealous?" I whispered in her ear. After the first encounter in the music room, I figured this was her weak spot.

"WHAT?!" she choked and yelled so loudly it was out of her character, people around start to notice us. 

"Hey... isn't that..? She never comes here!"  "Right? I saw her come in, rejecting a bunch'a hot guys!"  "Ugh! I wish she won't be that smug."  "She thinks that all the men in the world should fall in love with because she's blonde, hmph!"

"What're you talking about! Of course not! I was just wondering!" Misaki said again, still louder than her usual tone. 

I chuckled awkwardly and put two hands up, "Alright, okay."  

Why the humongous reaction? Her body was entirely turned to me at this point.

"S-so she's just a friend?" she asked quietly this time. I nod with certainty, I've never seen Nathalie as more than a good friend. And she doesn't, either. Misaki seems somehow relieved, despite her desperately trying to hide it. 

"Seriously, why were you so worried?" I press again wiggling my eyebrows. I can tell she's getting flustered. I've never thought teasing the girl I liked was so much fun.

"C-curiosity!" her voice raised unnaturally again. She almost seemed uncomfortable. 

"If you say so." my shoulders shook in suppressing laughter. Her face burned red as she continued staring at me--angry--and pursed her lips. That expression is so cute on her, so much better than the fake smile she shows every day.

Ha, just seeing her brightens me up. At this point I don't even care who she was with. 

At the sound of a tick, I got a text from Nathalie:

"Bonjour~~ :) Vois-tu après l'école?" (Hello~~ see you after school?)

Even in a text she sounds so upbeat. Just as I click the reply box and the keyboard pops up, I felt something funny beside me and jumped when Misaki was staring at me with a very. scary. aura.

"Just friends, eh?" she asked sarcastically. Why's she being difficult again?

"What? Can't friends text each other?" I ask back. She shook her head, "then how come I don't have your number?" Is she asking for my phone number? How sneaky of her to slip it in like that.

I held out my hand, and without words, she understood and took out her phone from her pocket. I exchanged our numbers, "happy now?"

"Whoa look! She's giving him his number!" whispers can be heard around us.

She gave me a look, smiling but her brows are creased just a little, after slipping her phone back into her pocket, she stood up, "walk back with me, will ya? Don't let her come." she winked and flipped around, nearly skipping out. 

Though I'd rather die than admit it, it always works on me when she's trying to be sexy.

"Earth to love-sick-idiot." I snapped out when Yuuta and Ryou laughed. They'd kept quiet the entire time Misaki and I were talking, at least.  

"Shut up." I said. I reply to Nathalie saying I'll be walking with Misaki. She wasn't mad at all, in fact...

"C'est fantastique!!! xD Tu dois gagner son coeur! Bonne chance! (that's fantastic! You must win her heart! Good luck!)"

I smiled to myself and shook my head. That's her.
