Tidus: Ok! On with the story!

Chapter 3: The stress of handling a large company!

The day has ended awkwardly for Tidus. He walked out of the school and went back to his apartment and lied on his bed. Suddenly, his cellphone rang. He picked it up and answered.

"Hello?" The voice at the other end of the line said. It was a woman's voice, sounding to be around thirty years old.

"Yes? Tidus speaking." He answered into the phone.

"Mr. Mizuhara, this is Aoi speaking. We have encountered a problem with the contract that Mr. Yamazaki signed with the Honda Corp. Please return to the Headquarters ASAP, sir." The woman spoke calmly.

"Ok, I'll be right back. Give me a few mintues." He jumped out of his bed and changed into his suit. He took his briefcase and laptop with him and went to the parking lot at his apartment. 'What trouble has Yamazaki gotten us into now? I wonder why have I been keeping him in the company for so long.' He thought.

He got into his Sliver Subaru WRX GC8V and drove off. Being the youngest CEO of the largest company in Spira isn't an easy task. He needed to make decisions, and work overtime for the sake of more than 3000 employees in the company.

He reached the company and walked into the large building.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Mizuhara," the employees greeted as they saw him. He only nodded grimly and went into the lift. He touched the button for the top floor, which was the 150th story. The lift was magnificent, it was like a small lounge. Four small sofa around a small coffee table. Tidus sighed and walked to the frigde to get some coffee. Sitting on the sofa, he slowly sipped his coffee and waited as the lift slowly went higher and higher. 'What's it with the Honda Corp. anyway?' He thought. 'They were our regular customers. And the head of the company is that old man's good friend. What can go wrong?'

The lift door opened and he stepped out of the lift.

"It's great to have you here sir." Aoi his secretary said. She looked very young, although she was actually 33 years old. She was a graduate of Zanarkand University. A smart woman who'd give suggestions to Tidus whenever he was stumped by a problem.

"Where is Yamazaki? I want to see him now." Tidus sat in his office with his secretary standing in front of him with a pile of documents in her hands.

"I'm sorry sir. Mr. Yamazaki is currently on his leave. He will not be back for sometime. These documents need your signature sir. They're the documents for the new project coming up." Aoi explained slowly.

"Ok, try to contact Yamazaki ASAP. As for these documents, you can come in at around 10 minutes later. I'm gonna sort these out." He ordered. He started his work. He looked through each and every file he had on his table. He signed the documents gave to him earlier on after close inspections. Making sure that every document had been taken care of, he called for a meeting with the top executives later.

At the meeting…

"Ok, is there anything to report?" Tidus asked.

"Yes sir. The problem we have encountered with the Honda Corp., sir. They have been demanding to break the contract with us. The reason isn't stated clearly in their letter sir. And they have not explained the reasons themselves." Kinoshita said.

"I'll have a talk with the CEO of the company. I'll find out what happened. We have been on good terms with the company. It should be a big problem that caused them to break the contract off." He paused, "As for project D, we will have to put it on hold until we solve this problem, is that understood?"

All of them nodded and Fujima said, "Sir, we have another contract with the Leonhart Enterprise. They are inviting us to co-operate with them on a new game."

"Thank you, Fujima. I'll meet their representative on Friday. Take it down Aoi." Tidus once again ordered.

"About your proposal, Niwa, I'll reconsider it first. I'll tell you my decision in near future." He said to the man sitting on his right. "We have come to the end of the meeting. There will be another meeting on Saturday. Everyone have to be punctual, because I have something to announce on that day. It's has yet to be confirmed, but be prepared for what I have to say on Saturday. Dismissed." He finished.

He went back to his office and continued with his work. It was late at night and he rubbed his temples. 'It's hard…being the CEO at 17. What was the old man thinking? Handing it over to me last year. He was far from his retirement age!'

There was no one left at the building, except for the security guards. He was alone. He walked to the parking lot and drove off in his car.

On the way back to his apartment, he saw a guy trying to hook up a girl. The girl apparently didn't like it. Somehow, she looks like someone he knows. Tidus, being concerned for the girl stopped by the pub and walked closer towards the punk. The lamp-post revealed the face of girl, it was Yuna. 'What is she doing here?' He thought.

When the guy reached to pull her towards him, Tidus grabbed his hand and asked, "Aren't you being a little too rude to a lady?"

Yuna, looked up to see the face of her saviour. 'What's he doing here? In a suit as well…'

"It's none of your business, rich boy! You better keep your nose out of this!" The punk replied, quite drunk.

"And what if I don't?" Tidus challenged him, not a hint of fear in his voice.

"You'll get this!" The man tried to punch Tidus squarely on the face, but he caught his fist in his hand and twisted it.

"What? This is all I get? I'm disappointed." Tidus smirked at the guy, and let go of his fist.

Turning to Yuna, he said, "c'mon let's go."

They walked towards his car slowly in silence. Tidus broke the silence by asking, "How did you get yourself into that mess? And why were you there?"

"I don't know. I was knocking off from my workplace. This guy just came out of nowhere and grabbed me to the side. Thanks for saving me. I don't know what will happen if you hadn't shown up." Yuna replied, looking at Tidus in the eyes.

"And you're working at?"

"I'm working at the flower shop down the street. I'm a part-time florist."

"It's dangerous for a girl to be out alone in the night. I'll give you a lift back. Get in the car." He spoke in a low quite tone, different from his behaviour in school.

They got in the car, while Tidus drove off. Yuna sneaked a peek at him.

'He looks so different. He's a friendly and shy guy in school. But a totally different guy at work. I wonder how he manages all the stress at his age. He isn't your average kind of guy who's a normal high school freshman.' Yuna thought to herself.

She slowly observed his soft features, those clear cerulean eyes shining brightly in the dull night. But his face looked tired and worn out. His breathing was slow and peaceful. She only stared into his clear blue eyes, wishing that she could stare into the pool forever. He turned his head suddenly, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Sorry." She muttered. She looked down at her feet, and blushed a crimson red, not knowing what else to say.

"Huh? Sorry for?" He asked.

No reply.

He decided to shrug it off. He continued driving and they reached her apartment in a few minutes. He realized that they lived quite close to each other. She tried to unbuckle her seat belt but failed to do so.

"Here, let me help." He offered gently, in a different tone from earlier on. He leaned over and reached out for the seat belt. Their hands brushed together, and they blushed. It was only then that they realize that they were close. Too close for comfort. He stared into her sapphire and emerald coloured eyes. And she stared back. He felt her breath on his face and his heartbeat was beating at a fast pace. He leaned forward, closing his eyes slowly. She too, did the same.

They leaned closer and closer…

The sound of breaking a glass bottle was heard. They snapped back into reality after hearing the sound. Both blushed really hard. They were not saying anything until Yuna opened her mouth and said, "Thanks for helping. I'm really grateful." She opened the door, and turned to face Tidus again, but he was hardly paying any attention to what she was saying. She leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, but he turned towards her unknowingly and their lips met.

They pulled away instantly and Tidus apologized for what had happened.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to turn my head. I was just thinking about something." Tidus explained. Thinking of you. A voice in his head said. 'Wha…?'

"No, it's ok I guess. It's an accident. I have to go now. I'll see you in school tomorrow." She said to him quietly, the blush still on her face.

"Yeah, bye. See you in school." Tidus replied slowly.

~At Tidus's apartment~

He lied down on his bed again thinking, 'that felt pretty…good. Argh! What am I thinking? What about that girl?'

You like her. Admit it.

'Who're you?'

Me? It doesn't matter. You like the girl, Yuna. Just admit it. It was love at first sight.

'What the? I like my childhood friend! Not some girl I met a few days ago. Ok maybe I have a good feeling about her, but that doesn't mean anything… right?'

Whatever, you just don't wanna admit that you like the girl.

'Just shut the hell up.'

He closed his eyes and thought,

The kiss… although it was only a brush… it felt kinda good.

He gave a small smile.
