Chapter 1
"Babe let's go we are going to be late." My boyfriend Tadao says, while I laugh.
"That's the point."I say. Tadao looks so confused by my statement. I walk over to the door and stand on my tippi toes and peck him on the lips. I grab my coat and I walk out the door with Tadao behind me. I walk the familiar route to my job with Tadao behind me. It's really early and Oliver decided the first day I would see him again was going to be at 5 a.m. But that meant it will be 5:30 a.m. I walk into the SPR office to see Oliver glaring at me.
"Your late Mai." Oliver states.
"I now." I say turning to Tadao. Tadao leans down and pecks me on the lips.
"Hey can you please get my notes or I will steal your's again."I say to Tadao and he nods and walks out. I turn to Oliver.
"Can I still call you Naru?"I ask.
"Yes Mai, can you get me tea."Naru says and I nod heading toward the kitchen. I walk out with his tea and to his office and knock on the door.
"Come in Mai." I open the door and walk in and set the tea cup on the desk and sit down.
"We will be going on a case Wednesday I need you here I don't know when we will be back it will be you, Monk, Lin, John, and I. Ayako and Masako can not make it and Yasu will stay behind for more information."Naru says and I nod my head yes.
"What time would you like me here?" I ask.
"Around 6.a.m." Naru replies.
"Okay I'll be here." I say and walk out to my desk to start on my work. Later on Tadao picks me up from work.
"Bye Naru, Lin!" I yell and get two byes back. Tadao and I walk down the street and when we get to the apartment I tell him about the case.
"Are you sure you'll be safe?" Tadao asks me.
"Yes I will be fine, babe I have done this so many times, it's nothing new to me." I say with a sigh.
"Are you hungry or do you just want to go to sleep?" Tadao asks me.
"I'm tired I'm going to bed you can stay up if you want." I say and head to the bedroom to go to sleep. Damn Naru making me stay at the office till 10. I climb into bed and Tadao comes through the door. He lays down next to me and puts an arm over me. I feel so safe in his arms. I fall asleep only to be waken up early the next morning.
"Whattt." I groan and sit up. Tadao stands over the bed looking down at me. I rub my eyes remembering the dream from last night. Tears spring to my eyes and I feel the headache coming on.
"Tadao medicine." I say trying to make the images stop. He rushes out of the room coming back with water and the medication. I take three and down the whole bottle of water. The headache starts to clear and the dream too. Tadao offers me a hand to get up. I gladly take it. He pulls me up and into his arms.
"We need to go to school." He whispers into my hair and I sigh.
"Fine." I say and leave his arms and get changed into black jeans with rips in them and a halter dark grey shirt. I put on my combat boots and my necklace. I put my long brown hair into a high ponytail. I put on a simple eye shadow and mascara. I turn to Tadao. His arms wrap around my waist.
"Beautiful as always." He says and kisses me. I loop my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. Then when we pull apart I realize that we need to leave in a few minuets. I smile at Tadao and step out of his arms and get my bag. I sling it over my shoulder and I head out the door Tadao right behind me. He draps an arms over my shoulders.
"What time do you have to be at work?" Tadao asks me.
"Five minuets after school." I say and continue walking.
"That isn't right why Does Kazuya do that?" Tadao asks me.
"Because he likes getting under my skin, so I get under his by being late all the time." I say as we reach the school. I head to my locker and get my books and head to my first class. Math, ugh. I go through the whole day and head to the office. Trying to be on time but lets be honest not even superman could be there in five minuets when it was a two mile walk. I go in and Naru looks pissed so does Lin.
"What happened?" I ask.
"He called my wife!" Lin yells.
"You called my Parents!" Naru yells back. I go to the kitchen and pull out cookies and sit in my chair and watch this unfold.
"You had no right to call my pregnant wife making her think something was wrong!" Lin continues to yell.
"You don't have to tell my parents every move I make, If I want to take a case alone than I can!"Naru yells back. It goes on from there. They end up going into different room when Tadao picks me up.
"Bye Naru,Lin!" I yell and get nothing. I walk home with Tadao.
"So how long are you going to be gone?" Tadao asks me and I shrug.
"No clue." I say as we walk into our home. I go straight to bed and fall asleep in less than a few seconds.
