I disclaim TMM. Please review. This is my first TMM story and I'm a little nervous. No one reviewed my other story so I'm hoping that everyone will review this one! :)
Lettuce sighed. She stared out the windows of Café Mew Mew and turned to her friends who all shared the same bored expression.
"I can't believe that there are no customers today!" sighed Pudding, her head dropping into her hands. Ichigo smiled.
"You'd of thought that we'd have been pleased!" she laughed looking round at everyone. Her red hair was tied up with a pretty red ribbon and her eyes sparkled mischievously. "Why don't we do something fun?" she asked.
"Like what?" Lettuce replied. Ichigo sat back in her chair and was about to answer when the door opened and someone walked through the door.
"Ooooooh!" squealed Pudding standing up quickly and jumping over to the stage area. "A customer!" Ichigo made her way over to the person and more people started to come in through the doors.
"I wonder why everyone has come in all at once and so suddenly." Zakuro pondered. Mint nodded in agreement looking up at her idol. Lettuce just smiled.
"Who knows." She said. She turned round to see Ryou standing at the bottom of the stairs. He smiled at her and made his way over to the table.
"Come on girls." He chastised. "Don't make Ichigo and Pudding do all the work!" Lettuce blushed and Zakuro and Mint stood up and left.
"Sorry Ryou." Lettuce said, her eyes fixed on the table.
"Hey, don't be." Ryou frowned. He put a finger under her chin and gently lifted her face. He smiled sweetly. "I wasn't talking to you." He lifted her up and pressed his mouth against hers. Lettuce turned an even darker shade of red. Ryou laughed then turned and walked up the stairs. Lettuce mentally kicked herself and got back to work.
At the end of the day everyone was exhausted and the café was empty. All the mews were sitting round the table chatting quietly. Ryou came down and stood behind Lettuce his hands on her shoulders.
"Hey, lettuce. Why don't you come up to my room for a moment? I have some…business I wanted to talk to you about."
"S-sure" Lettuce stammered. Pudding giggled and the others just rolled their eyes. Lettuce got up and followed Ryou upstairs to his room. Once inside Ryou shut the door and sat down on the bed. Lettuce sat next to him staring down at her hands and blushing hard. Ryou cupped her face in his hands and made her look at him.
"Why are you always so quiet?" He asked, but before she could answer he had pressed his lips against hers. She ran her fingers through his hair and licked his bottom lip asking for entrance. Ryou quickly obliged. There was a shimmer in the air and suddenly Pai was standing there, his face a mask of hate. Lettuce gasped and pulled away from Ryou falling of the bed. She landed on her but with a squeak.
"Lettuce!" shouted Ryou, but Pai was there quicker. He grabbed Lettuce by the throat and lifted her up. She could see Ryou's horrified face and Pai's large hurt eyes.
"I loved you!" He whispered then slammed her against the wall hard. She yelped, a sharp pain spreading across the back of her head.
"NOOOO" Ryou screamed, lunging at Pai. Lettuce was dropped to the floor and everything went black.
I have one word: REVIEW!!! Please!
