Jealousy Chapter 1 – Bit's Girlfriend.
Summary – Bit has a girlfriend and Brad and Leena are Jealous. LeenaXBit
It was late. Almost midnight, and Bit still wasn't back yet. Leena was pacing the floor, while Brad sipped his coffee. Everyone else was asleep. Uncaring as to where Bit was. Leena was annoyed. /He shouldn't be late! He should know better! Honestly! He took the Liger with him! What if he stole it? He had better come back, and if he doesn't I'll hunt him down my self!/ Leena contemplated to herself as she paced the floor.
Brad was calm; although he was more worried Bit got himself into trouble. Sure Bit wasn't the most trust worthy in their opinion, but he was part of the team. He could be really air-headed sometimes. Maybe he said something stupid and got in a fight. Or maybe he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and fell off a cliff or something. These thoughts caused shivers down his spine, and made him worry more.
Brad finished his cup of coffee and approached Leena. "I'll go out and look for him. He probably got into some trouble or got lost." Brad said trying to sound like it was no big deal. As he approached his Shadow Fox, he heard something coming, a Zoid. He turned and saw Bit run in with the Liger.
Leena quickly walked towards the cockpit as Bit opened it but stopped short to see a girl sitting there on his lap. /Who is she?/ Leena waited for Bit to explain himself. The girl stood and Bit got out helping the girl out as well. The girl wrapped her arms around Bit's neck as they stood there looking at Leena.
"You guys didn't wait up for me did you?" Bit asked wrapping an arm around the girl's waist.
"Well we had no idea where you were and it was so late." Brad replied.
"Sorry. I guess I should have called. Let me introduce you guys." He turned to the girl. "Natalie, these are my teammates, Leena and Brad. Brad, Leena, This is my girlfriend Natalie." Bit introduced everyone and looked back at his friends.
The girl looked also. Her hair was black with purple highlights. It was short, to about her shoulders but cut close to her head. She wore black army boots, black knickers, and a black tank top underneath Bit's jacket. "Howdy." She replied in a cool tone. She lowered her arms from Bit as he attempted to walk.
He was suddenly grabbed by Leena. "Can I have a word with you?" She asked through her smile and clenched teeth.
"Sure. I'll be right back." He said to Natalie. She nodded and stood there her arms across her chest in a laid back fashion.
Brad stayed with her. "So you're Bit's girlfriend huh?"
"That's right. I've known his since high school." Natalie said calmly.
Brad was a little confused were they drop outs? She certainly looked like one. And he wouldn't be surprised if bit was too. But even if she did graduate Bit was still too young he was only 16! And she looked like she was 18. "Yeah? Sorry to ask but did either of you graduate? Or what? Cuz if you did isn't Bit a little young?" Brad asked hoping not to get hit for asking such a question.
"Oh yeah he get's that a lot. He was put into school early making him one year below me. Then he doubled up putting him right up with me. He doubled up 7th and 8th grade just before high school. So we were together all four years. We're both graduates, don't worry." Natalie said taking no offense.
Brad was glad. He didn't want to go around offending people, especially girls. He'd had enough of that with Leena. The more he talked with her, the more he liked her.
Meanwhile Leena was reaming Bit out for coming home late.
"I mean really Bit! Is it so hard to call! And when you do come home you bring some delinquent girlfriend!" Leena should have stopped while she was ahead.
Bit jumped all over her. Excuse me! Natalie is really nice. And she isn't a delinquent! She's really intelligent and very talented! You're just Jealous!"
"Jealous of what?! Name one thing!"
"Her sense of style for one!" bit said looking down t Leena's simple attire.
Leena was mad! And what was worse, he was right! She was jealous! Leena stomped away leaving Bit satisfied. Bit returned to Natalie and smiled.
"What was that all about?"
"I was getting in trouble for coming home late. Man she's like my mother or something." Bit said laughing a little. "Well you can stay here for the night. Not sure if Doc will be to happy if you stay in my room. So you can bunk with Leena." Bit said pointing to Leena.
When she heard this she was outraged.
"Wow really thanks hon." Natalie said walking up to Leena. "Well let's go I'm bushed!" Natalie said stretching.
"Here I'll show you." Bit said leading Natalie down the hall.
Once they were gone Leena let loose. "Can you believe this? Man I hate her!" Leena said clenching her fists.
"Give her a break you don't even know her. I think she's really nice." Brad said walking past her.
Leena let out a groan as she followed. When she got to her room she saw Bit and Natalie making out right outside HER room! Natalie heard her coming and broke away to turn her head to look at Leena. Bit almost had her locked up against the wall. He was leaning on one arm while holding Natalie's waist with the other. This really made Leena burn with jealousy.
Bit wished both the girls good night and headed for his room. Leena and Natalie walked through the doorway. Natalie sat on the floor and took off her boots. Leena tossed her a pillow and some blankets and hopped in bed. Natalie thanked her and decided to sleep also.
The next morning, Leena woke up and looked on the floor. Natalie was gone. /Good! With her gone Bit can be mine! Wait what am I saying?/ Leena was surprised that she had said that. Bit was just some cocky junk dealer! Why should she care if he had a girl friend? But she did care, that was the problem. Leena got out of bed and went to her closet to get dressed. She looked at her clothes. It was nothing special. Just some skirts and tank tops. All pretty close to the same color. Maybe she really didn't have any fashion sense. She was upset that Bit thought that. She wanted to impress him. But why?
Leena tried finding other clothes other than the usually stuff she wore. She dug as hard has she could, she ended up with a pink plaid mini skirt, some dark blue jeans, a pink blouse with puffy shoulders, and her usually shoes. As Bit called them, her "Peter Pan Boots." Leena looked herself over in the mirror. Some thing was missing. Jewelry maybe and make up sure. She pulled out her jewelry box. She found a locket and a silver band for a bracelet. She took out her make up. She put on her pink lipstick, pink nail polish, and even put eye liner and mascara on. Which she never did. She went back to the mirror. Her make up looked awful. No wonder she never wore it. She quickly wiped her face and looked again. She looked nothing like Natalie. Natalie was cool, but Leena was just a little cute. Maybe Bit was right, maybe she didn't have any fashion sense. She didn't feel like changing her clothes so she left her room, and headed for the kitchen.
When she got there bit was sitting with Natalie talking about music apparently. Bit looked over to her and he heard the door opened. Leena was embarrassed that Bit had to see her silly costume. She avoided eye contact. Until he heard, "Wow Leena you look really cute!" She looked up and saw Bit smiling at her.
Natalie was smiling too. "Yeah I love the pink touch. I especially like the skirt! It's gorgeous!"
"Thanks." She hadn't expected Natalie to compliment her. But that didn't mean any thing. They were still enemies. She wanted Bit but Natalie had him. It wasn't fair.
Brad was sitting next to Natalie so Leena sat next to her Dad who was on the other side of Bit. /Damn! I wanted to sit next to Bit!/
Her father sensed her disappointment and got up. "I just remembered! I have something important to do. See you all later!" Doc turned one last time and saw Leena jump into his seat before he left.
Jamie called after him. "It better not be anything that has to do with shopping! You better not be buying another useless, expensive component!" The older man didn't answer him so he ran after him and left the food for everyone to grab for themselves.
Bit got Natalie her plate and served her along with himself. Brad and Leena got their own. Once they had their food, they continued to talk about music. Leena leaned that Bit was in a band and that he was a singer and a guitarist in it. While Natalie was a singer and a pianist. Apparently there were six others in the band, three of them acted as backup. They already had some CD's out and their own website. Leena put the name of the band in the back of her head for later reference. It was something like Cross.
Finally they had finished eating. "Okay well I'm taking Natalie out for lunch later so we're just gonna head into town now. I'll see you guys later." Bit said walking out with Natalie.
Once they were gone. Leena jumped next to Brad making him jump and almost spill his coffee. "BRAD!" She whispered although no one would hear her if she had shouted.
"Yes?" he asked a little annoyed.
"Let's follow them!" Leena said referring to Bit and Natalie.
"Why?" Brad asked, although he liked the idea of it. He liked Natalie and was a little jealous of Bit to have her.
"Just come on!" Leena said dragging him out of his chair and down the hall, although he didn't struggle much. Leena and brad took off after Bit and Natalie in the Jeep.
