Falling
It's the middle of the night and raining hard as a storm goes through the city. She was running down the darkened street trying to get home. As she got to the edge of an ally a dark figure pulled her toward him. She screamed but he just covered her mouth and pinned her to the brick wall hurting her leg. He was a big scruffy looking with a scar across his face and he smelled like beer. The young girl struggled to get free form the man, but he held her tight.
"Hey little girl what's your hurry" he said as he got close to her face. He brought his hand up her white and blue broken heart shirt and started to grope her breasts. She starts to cry knowing she's going to lose the one thing she held dear her virginity.
"Don't cry now it will all be over soon" he said as he started to unbutton her pants. Before he could finish someone yelled at him "Hey leave her alone!"
Before the man had time to look he was run into by a boy with goggles on his head. The girl fell to ground as the man was slammed into the ground she quickly redid her pants and pulled her shirt back down 'god that was close' she thought. The man slowly got up and looked at the boy who hit him and was about to attack him for ruining an easy night of sex when several cops were walking and driving by the alley.
The man stumbled backward and ran back into the depths of the ally way knowing he shouldn't mess with them at the moment. They watched the man disappear into the shadows then they looked at each other "what are you dong here goggle head?" she shot at him. "I was helping" he said to her shyly she turned away from him "thank you" she said lightly.
Looking stunned he asked her "Did you just say 'thank you'?" "Don't get used to it goggle head" she said with a slight smile on her rain stricken face. 'God she looks so pretty right now' he thought. 'Wow who would have thought goggle head would have grown up some and actually be a cute guy' she thought as she looked at him. She tried to get up from the ground feeling the water soak through to her skin "Ow" she groaned from a sharp pain in her left leg and she slide back down to the ground.
"Rika are you ok!" he said with a slightly worried expression on his face. "My leg is hurt a little that's all nothing big." She said calmly. Takato lowered his hand to help her up off the ground, smiling slightly she took it and got up. "Here get on my back ill carry you home." he said to her gently.
"I don't want to be a burden" she said and looked away. "Rika it's not a burden when I want to help you." He said to her turning her head back to him. Seeing the warm smile he had on his face she agreed to it and climbed onto his back, and then they started the walk trip to her house. As Takato carried her she rested her head on his back with her arms draped over his shoulder. 'This feels great' she thought as she felt his warmth from his back. Within a few minutes Rika had fallen asleep on Takato's back.
As Takato neared Rika's home he noticed that there weren't any lights on then felt Rika stir as she woke up. "Hey sleepy head we're here" he said as he walked up onto the deck and he wondered if anybody was there. "My mother is out of the country on some tour and my grandmother is out with her friends no telling when she'll be home" she said seeing his face, she reached into her pocket and handed him a key with he used to enter the house.
Takato used the keys to open the door and walked inside. It was dark in the house except from the lightning coming from the storm becoming worse. "Where is your room?" he asked looking at her. She pointed toward a hall "Down that hall second door on the left." Takato nodded and started that way. When he reached her room she reached over to the wall and flipped the light switch on so that they could see. Takato walked over and set Rika down onto the bed. "Thanks" she said with a slight smile. "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." He said as he started toward the door.
Rika's head dropped "Takato…"she said quietly he turned around "Yes?" he asked. 'God he's going to think I'm stupid' she thought before finishing her sentence "Um…would you stay here with me tonight? I don't want to be alone." she had a saddened expression on her face.
Takato smiled "of course I will" he replied to her. As he said these words her head came up and a big smile appeared on her face. "You will?" she asked shocked that he said he would. "Yea, I will" he said as he walked back to the bed and sat with her. "Thank you" she told him then she rested her head on his shoulder.
He blushed lightly then slowly slid his arm around her waist. As he did she blushed and scooted closer to him. They stayed like this for a few minutes, then Rika sat upright when she realized that they were in soaked clothes. She looked at him "I think I'm going to change out of these wet clothes" she said. Rika stood up and walked over to her dresser, her leg feeling much better than it did before.
She started rummaging through it trying to find something to wear and finally just decided on a pair of sweats. She took the sweats and went into the bathroom to change. Takato was left alone with his thoughts for a minute. ' Wow Rika's an amazing girl I haven't seen her act this way with anyone before, maybe she likes me the way I like her' he sat there and wondered this for a little.
As Rika was changing she was thinking of Takato 'I can't believe how nice Takato is. He saved me from that man and carried me home at night in the pouring rain.' She took all her wet clothes off and put on the sweat pants and sweat shirt. 'I wonder if he likes me, I mean he seems to but how do I know that for sure and not that he'll jut end up leaving me like the others' She took her wet clothes into the laundry room and put them into the hamper.
A small bag in the corner got her attention, as she looked at it more she remembered that it was the bag Takato had left the last time he was here. Rika picked it up and carried it back to her room to give to him. Takato was brought out of his thoughts as she entered the room and threw the bag at him hitting him in the gut. He looked at the bag she threw at him and saw it was his, he remembered when he left it here
"Thanks Rika" he said with the goofy grin on his face that she liked so much. "I would have given it to you sooner but my mom put it somewhere and she couldn't remember where" she told him. "That's ok it good it was left here because now I have clothes to change into" he got up and went into the bathroom and changed into his white t-shirt and sleep pants. "What should I do with my wet clothes?" he asked her looking around the doorway to her room. "Just throw them into the hamper in the laundry in the next room" she said to him. He nodded and did as she said and went back into her room.
"Do you want anything to drink?" she asked him as he entered. "Sure that'd be nice" he said to her, she nodded and went out into the kitchen for drinks. Takato saw a small movie rack next to the TV and decided to have a look at what she had to watch thinking it would be nice to watch a movie with Rika. He picked out a movie and had only just placed it into the VCR when he heard something behind him.
"Ahem" she said he slowly turned around to face her. "What are you doing?" she questioned him as she sat the drinks down onto the small stand next to the bed. Takato bowed his head and went into an apologetic sermon. She rolled her eyes at him and then started toward him. Takato saw her coming and his first reaction was to close his eyes and brace himself to be hit across the face.
After a second something did go to his cheek, but it wasn't the painful slap he was expecting it was more of a gently brush with something soft. He opened his eyes to see that Rika had kissed him on the cheek and immediately started to blush at this. "Next time you might not be so lucky so ask before you just go through my stuff, okay?" she said with a smile on her face. "Okay" he agreed as she sat back down onto the bed.
As he got up and sat down next to her she reached over and grabbed the remote, turned the TV on and started the movie. As the movie started she realized that he had put in a romantic comedy, she knew this because she's watched it before. She got up and turned the lights off so that it was easier to watch the movie. She sat back down next to Takato and watched the movie.
About one third of the way through the movie she rested her head on his shoulder. Takato then slid his arm around her waist like earlier and they watched the movie in each others embrace. Later during the most romantic part of the movie Takato and Rika gazed into the eyes of the one that they had feelings for.
Takato leaned toward Rika and she to him their eyes closed and their lips met each others. Takato brushed her lips with his tongue begging for entrance and Rika's lips opened slightly and his tongue took the invitation and slipped into her. She moaned slightly into him as he explored into her mouth and she then slid her tongue into his to do the same.
As they kissed the real world fell away leaving them in their own world of pure bliss. They slowly came apart and simply held each other tight, Takato places his forehead on hers and smiles down at Rika. She smiled back at him as she gazed up into his eyes then she nuzzled her head into his chest. Takato wrapped his arms around her holding her close. Rika soon found herself falling asleep in his arms
