Annoying Devil

Josh stunned upon hearing those words. He looked at her with his eyes full of gentleness and love. His heart pound vigorously, like anytime now it will burst because of overwhelming emotions. This is too much for him and yet he wants to freeze this moment. Hearing her confessing her love to him. With those eyes who look at him with full of love. He just wished he could preserve this time forever.

But reality hit him really hard, as he remembered this is just an act. This is all because of his scheming friend. Ahhh.. He will kill his friend for this!!. This is a real torture to his heart whose been longing for so long to give attention and love him back.

"Awww.. How sweet…" Josh really have enough of this friend of him. Yes this annoying bastard is he and Jake's childhood friend. He also knew who Yui is was. And he also knew this was all just act and yet he's pushing him to his limit. He gave him a deadly glare. The demon just laugh out loud. "Where's the kiss? C'mon that's one of a heck confession of love man.. Seal it with a kiss." He adds grinning ear to ear.

Josh saw panic on Yui's eyes. He just pat her head, saying that there's no need to do it. But this annoying demon didn't stop there. He's really enjoying teasing him and testing his patience.

"It's just a kiss right Mrs. Hatori? It's a usual thing that couple like you two do." Josh swear his friend look like a devil with two horns with a tail holding a fork. He's like a Devil whose encouraging someone to do bad deeds.

"I think you're right. It's just a kiss right hubby?" Josh mind is about to blow any minute when he heard this. He looked at Yui's direction with a shock face. Right!! How come he forgot. She's a Saotori. And Saotori never back out in any dare.

Yui beckon him to come closer. He didn't move. He will never give the satisfaction this demon want to have. But to his surprise Yui grabbed his tie and pulled him. She leaned on his ear and whisper.

"I thought we need to act like husband and wife here?"

"I know.. But we don't need to get this far. It's unfair to you." He whispered back.

"Well you should think that first, before you introduce me to them as your wife."

"I'm really sorry. It's really not my intention. You heard them. It's your brother who did this."

"I know!! And I will deal with him when we get back home. Now C'mon let's just finish this. Just give me a peck and it's done."

Josh can't believe what he heard. Looking at her this close, her face is red and he feels it warm.

"Hey love birds.. We're waiting for the kiss.!! Or maybe they're not really husband and wife right gentlemen?" The devil never stop at all.

"You mean they're just pretending? What for?" they heard someone ask.

Josh looked at Yui. Their face is too close to each other. He leaned to her ear again.

"You sure about this?"

"Yeah.. Why don't you let me do it."

"Oh.. OK.."

Josh distance his face a bit to her. Yui wrap her arm to his neck and pull him again. When her lips is about an inch to him, he grabbed her one hand on his neck and put it in the middle. Yui lips landed on the back on her own hand while Josh lips pressed on her palm.

He took her hand that blocking their almost kissing lips and kissed her knuckle instead. He then looked at those people around them.

"Let's all have our lunch before we proceed to our next agenda for this day." He dismissed them with authority.

"You're not coming with us Attorney?"

"I'm afraid not. My wife brings me food today. I'll join you all next time."

Upon hearing this. Everyone started to walk outside in that room aside from the persistent guy. Yui gave him a questioning look. When Josh saw this, he immediately introduced the guy.

"Little Mae.. This annoying bug here is Joaquin. He's my friend and also Jake's friend."

"Childhood friend to be exact. Just call me Wacky.. Young Ms. Saotori."

"You know me?"

"Why of course. Although the first and last time I saw you was when Auntie bring you home after her delivery. Your just a newborn baby back then. I didn't see you after that because my family migrated to other country."

"Oh.. Then why---"

"Why I'm so eager to see both of you kiss? It's simple.. I'm just enjoying how this cold man react as I push him to his limit." He smirks on Josh.

Yui's face flushed as when what happened a while ago finally sink in on her mind. She immediately excuse herself and dash toward the restroom.

"Asshole!!! Do that again and I won't hesitate to beat you into a pulp!!!" Josh glared at his friend when he saw Yui's flushed face.

"Awww… C'mon dude. Until now you didn't make any move. What are waiting for? Miracle? And that kiss. Man.. It's about time that lips of yours taste your first kiss.. Geez.. How old are you now? And yet you still don't have your first kiss? Worse part is you're still a virgin!! For crying out loud. Never been kiss and never been touched!!"

"Will you all just leave us alone!!. I told you I don't want to force her to remember me. I'm sure someday she will remember me and accept me in her life as who really I am to her." Josh said irritatedly. Why does all of them is messing around on his way to how Yui will remember him. "Just leave us alone. Will you?!!"

"You're hopeless you know that?"

"I know.. Just don't pressure her. She will eventually remember anything soon."

When Yui came back from the restroom. The food that she almost forgot is all now in the table. Good thing she ask Rhonna a while ago to put the cake in the fridge while she's waiting for him.

"Come little Mae let's eat." Josh pull a chair for her.

"Where's Wacky?" She asked as she sat on the chair he offered. "Thanks."

"He's gone. He still have some business to do. Don't worry you will see him every day here whether you like it or not." Josh started to put some food on her plate. "You cook this?"

Yui pout as she remember how hard she tried to cook for him but fail. "I tried but I guess cooking is not into me. I just ask the hotel service to cook that. I also brought your favorite dessert." She said excitedly. "Guess what is it."

"Mango ice-cream cake?" Josh is not sure but that's the first thing that comes in his mind. Well that's the only sweet food he eats.

"Yup.. Why didn't you tell me that's your favorite too. I should have shared you those cakes my brothers always brought to me."

"it's fine Little Mae. C'mon let's finish this up then eat our favorite cake."

The two eat happily like there's nothing happen. They both act as usual and didn't feel any awkwardness to each other.
