It's been raining! *does happy dance* I love rain! We don't see much of it here, so when it does rain, it's a big deal for us! Not to mention rainy days mean a break from the relentless heat. Yesterday it rained off and on all day. Today there were a few sprinkles in the morning, but not it seems to have passed. :( But the afternoon is really nice. It's cool and comfortable to be outside. I can almost feel fall in the air. I love the fall time! It's my favorite time of the year!
Boss said I didn't have to come in on Saturday if I didn't want to. I was a bit stunned...I mean, it's cool that I don't have to work on a Saturday, but now I feel a little guilty about leaving the guys to fend for themselves, since the boss will be out of town too. I might still come in...even though I'd prefer not to.
Been reading Nana. (SPOILERS!!!!) Today book 13 should arrive. I can't wait to see what happens at Reira's party. Poor Hachi...I feel bad for her sometimes, but she's such a stupid girl...sometimes I think she deserves what she gets. I mean, she neglected Shouji and he left her, she sleeps around with just about anyone and seems to think it's love, she gets fired from her jobs, and just when it appears she's found a good guy, she discovers she's pregnant and isn't sure who's baby it is....*head desk* Then she agrees to marry Takumi when he offers to take care of her and the baby...WTF?
Okay, so Takumi is probably the father of the baby...that's almost a given...There's just a slight chance it could be Nobu's, but considering Nobu used protection every time they slept together and Takumi refused to, I'd bet the farm on Takumi being the "happy" father. Anyway, I don't get the guy...he's a total enigma to me. He's a super dickhead, that's for sure, and his lack of reaction when he discovered Hachi was pregnant took me for surprise. Most guys would panic, but he took it all in stride...then decided to marry Hachi, even if the baby doesn't turn out to be his...
Oooookaaaay....
He doesn't love Hachi, at least I don't think he does. At best, he thinks of her as a possession. He can be pretty mean to her too, but he can also be really sweet (sometimes). When he bought the baby shoes back from England, that was really cute. And his reaction to the flower wallpaper Hachi put up in his apartment...*laughs* Still, I'm not quite sure where their relationship is going. Takumi met Hachi's parents, told everyone they were getting married, moved her into his apartment, etc., but he still treats her like crap.
Also, Hachi still has feelings for Nobu and visa versa, but Nobu totally freaked when he found out Hachi was pregnant. He told Nana O. that he couldn't be a dad, he wasn't ready. He ran away from Hachi and let Takumi 'have' her. It's pretty sad, since they seemed to be in love...but my personal feeling is if he loved her as much as he said he did, he wouldn't have abandoned her so quickly. *sigh* Takumi had a lot to do with that too, though. He's the one who told Nobu, and not too gently either. The way he did it was vindictive and cruel (locking Hachi in the bathroom and using her phone to call Nobu).
Nana O. scares me sometimes. She's kinda crazy, and I think more possessive than Takumi. She's almost obessive. She wants Hachi back and keeps pushing Nobu to go get her from Takumi. That kinda pisses me off. Nobu should be the one to decide what to do, and if Takumi is really the father, he should have a say in the baby's life. What worries me is that Nana will return to Nobu, the baby will be Takumi's, and he'll do something to take the kid away from her. He seems to be malicious like that...Then again, I can't see Takumi taking care of a baby by himself (he'd hire a nanny since the boy is loaded).
I kinda like Takumi though. He's a prick. I wouldn't put up with his shit for a second, but I think he's good for Hachi. Yes...as crazy as it sounds, she's a idiot and needs a guy who will take the upperhand with her. I think in the end, Hachi would end up running Nobu off like she did with Shouji. Both Nobu and Shouji are sweeties, but they're too nice for their own good. Hachi is so self centered (in a clueless way), that she't probably trample on Nobu's feelings like she did Shouji. Takumi is such a hardliner, he won't put up with her crap. He could be less possessive, a bit more senstive, and lose some of that narcissitic attitude though.
Hmmm...I don't know. All I can do is wait and see, of course. It's fun to speculate though.
