Heyyaaa. What's goin' on? Yeah.. still need to update my first story, I know. I am just kinda stuck .. so I have been stalling. I promise I will have another chapter up before summer ends though.
By the way, I am kinda.. horrid and lazy at describing surroundings.. so I want YOU to imagine your own little world where this is happening. I have mine, and I am happy with it. Now, you take the story and picture it has however you want it to look. That is how we are going to do this.
Do not forget, reviews are helpful!
*Two finger salute*
CABIN FOR A WEEK: Chapter 1 - Wedding
Kori growled as her fists continued pumping in front of her, slamming into the punching bag hanging in her face.
After about another 5 minutes, her punches slowed down to a complete stop. She pants and wipes at her sweaty forehead. She reached up to pull her hair out of her high pony tail, letting her luscious fire locks sway down past her waist. She reached down to grab her water bottle, taking a big gulp and set it back down.
She looked around the gym room to notice most of the men in the room stopped to watch her. She growled and they all turned their attention back to their earlier activities. Kori reached down and grabbed her gym bag. She looked at the mirrors in front of her and made a face.
Her flawless golden orange skin was covered in a thin layer of sweat. Her black yoga shorts held tight as her long curvy legs slipped out through the sleeves. Her toned, flat stomach was out in plain view for she wore a purple and black sports bra. She ran a hand through her sweaty fringe and smirked.
She bent over and picked up her purple back pack. She reached in and grabbed her black jacket. She slipped it on and zipped it up all the way to her neck. She grabbed her water bottle and threw it in, slinging her zipped back pack over her shoulder, she left the room. She walked by the front office and stopped.
"Hey Fernando." She greeted.
A young teenager, about the age of 15, looked up from the front desk. He was tall and scrawny, he had short brown hair and large gorgeous brown eyes. He had straight white teeth and dimples.
"Hey Kori. Leaving already?" he smiled.
"Yeah. I have the wedding to attend to tomorrow. I do not want to be too worn out." she shrugged and flashed him a small smile.
"Alright. Don't be a stranger."
Kori gave him a two finger salute and made her way to the front doors. As she opened them, the crisp night winter breeze pressed against her body.
She shivered at the contact and smiled. She walked down to the sidewalk and made her way to the parking lot. She felt better each step with the breeze cooling down her hot and sweaty body.
She reached her red car and plopped in, throwing her backpack in the passenger seat. She started up the car and drove off, heading towards a fancy apartment complex.
Kori grabbed all her stuff and parked her car in front of her apartment. She trudged up the stairs leading to her 2 story apartment on the 2nd floor. She reached out her keys and unlocked the red door. She stepped in flipped on a light switch that was by the door. She closed the door and looked around.
Her small kitchen had papers scattered on the counters along with wrapping paper. A round glass table was holding up one large present and one small present. They were wrapped in purple with black ribbons. Kori walked into her living room, setting her bag on her leather sofa. She slipped off her running shoes and threw them by a sliding glass door that lead to a small patio that overlooked the city. She unzipped her jacket and laid it on low glass coffee table in front of the couch. She reached for the remote on it and pressed the on button. A large flat screen TV turned on, playing Princess Bride.
Kori sighed and stood up. Missed the sunset tonight. That's a first.. Better take a shower now.
She walked to the bathroom and began stripping. She stared into the mirror, at her naked 24-year-old form. Her waist curved drastically, leading to long golden legs. Her long hair covered her plump breasts and collar bones. She turned and looked at her back side. She looked down at her back dimples. She poked one and giggled.
She started up her cold shower and stepped in. She sighed loudly and leaned her head on the shower wall.
Tomorrow, one of her best friends were going to get married. Jade Nguyen, her friend since child hood, was marrying Roy Harper. They've been dating for almost 2 years and finally decided to tie the knot. Jade and Roy were the only people she knew at the wedding.
For showing their appreciation to their friends that showed up, they rented out a large log cabin for their friends for a week out at a nearby beach. They thought it would be nice for all of them to have some sort of reunion.
Jade and Roy insisted that Kori should go. Roy and Jade told their friends all bout Kori, and they were dying to meet her. Kori heard much about them, but was still hesitant. Spending a week with strangers in a cabin wasn't something she was too thrilled about.
Kori stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a fluffy purple towel. She walked into the master bedroom and laid on her dark purple sheets. She reached out to her nightstand and turned the clock on it.
10:39 p.m.
Kori set an alarm for 6:15 a.m. and closed her eyes, snuggling further into her towel.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Kori brought up her fist and smashed it on her alarm clock, silencing it. She picked up her head and looked at her clock, realizing that she broke it.
She groaned in frustration and sat up. She yawned and stretched, her towel falling off her shoulders. She reached back for her nightstand and grabbed her SAMSUNG Galaxy. She scrolled through her contacts until she came across Jade's name. She clicked call and waited patiently as it began to ring.
It rang once before Jade answered.
"Hello?" Jade's voice answered nervously.
Kori laughed. "Wedding jitters? How long have you been awake?"
"About 20 minutes. I'm amazed I got to sleep at all. When will you be on your way?"
"Well since all I have to do is pack-"
"Pack? You still haven't packed? Korinna Anders, shame on you!" Jade joked.
"Well I was not sure what to pack.."
"Beach stuff, duh."
Kori scoffed. "I have most of my stuff packed, I just need to decide on which bathing suit. Emerald bikini or purple?"
"Both of course."
"Alright. Why did you have to get married so far away from where I live? And why must I be so early?" she pouted.
"Because. Deal with it. Plus your my maid of honor, Star. So suck it up."
"I wish I could have came over last night."
"I know, me too. But hey, you'll be here in... 3 hours if you leave now, so go go go!"
There was a beep. Kori looked at her phone and saw that Jade hung up. With a sigh, Kori packed the rest of her bag. She put on a plain coral strapless dress and black flats. She checked around her house to make sure everything was turned off.
She grabbed her bag and headed towards the door. She gave one last look at everything and headed out the door, locking it.
She walked to her car and put her suit case in. She laid back down on her seat and flipped on the radio.
She smiled and began to back up...
"Jade!" Kori called as she saw the familiar black haired girl step outside the small church.
Jade turned around and made eye contact with Kori. She smiled and they both started walking towards each other.
"Kori!" she exclaimed as Jade pulled her into a large hug.
"Are you not suppose to be inside? Getting ready?"
Jade pulled back. "Yeah.." she blushed. "But I was looking for you. The bridesmaids are already inside. We bought breakfast, might wanna come in while it's still hot."
Kori rustled up Jade's hair. "Chesire." and they both walked into the church.
Jade lead Kori into a large room, where 5 girls sat chatting.
"Girls," the girls turned to Jade and Kori. "This is Kori, Kori, girls." Kori gave a small wave.
An African american girl stood up and walked over to Kori.
"Names Karen Beecher, but you can call me Bee."
"Nice to meet you, Bee." Kori smiled.
Two girls with pink hair walked up. One girl had her pink hair in low pig tails with pink cat like eyes. The other girl was shorter and her pink hair was let loose and stopped at her shoulders.
"I'm Jennifer." The girl with pig tails rested her hand on her hip and smiled. "Everyone calls me Jinx."
The other girl smiled widely. "I'm Kole."
"Kole, Jinx, it is glorious to meet you!" Kori smiled and held her hands to her chest.
A girl with red and black hair walked over to Kori.
"Ello love, names Argent!" Argent held out her hand. Kori shook it and smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you, Argent."
A girl with purple hair walked over and gave a brief smile. "Rachel. Everyone likes to call me Raven. Don't call me Rae." Kori nodded and smiled.
"Since we are sharing our nicknames, I should inform you that most call me Star."
"Star, huh? I like it!" Bee giggled.
After about an hour and a half, the girls had all their makeup done and were starting on Jade.
"So we're all gonna be stuffed up in a cabin for a week? Good thing we get along." Jinx smirked.
During the time Kori was there, her and the girls really clicked. They all knew that they were going to become really close with each other.
"There's only 6 rooms, so some of you guys have to bunk. Forgot to mention that." Jade added timidly.
"I don't mind. I think we all get along perfectly." Kole smiled.
"Yes, I agree with friend Kole. I am most excited to spend our time together." Kori clapped.
"Why do I have a feeling you're all going to end up bunking with the guys?" Jade looked around to all the girls blushing, except Kori.
"Wait... that means.." All the girls exchanged looks.
"Please someone tell me Dick isn't going to the cabins." Bee pleaded.
"He is." Jinx sighed. "Wally confirmed it last night."
"Who is Dick?" Kori tilted her head. "Roy and Jade have not mentioned him before in our conversations of their friends."
"There's a reason too." Raven snorted.
"Dick is.. well he's a dick." Jinx commented while the girls giggled.
"Big playboy, but he treats us all like his own sisters. He can be a real ass though. Bad temper." Argent remarked.
"I think he needs anger management classes." Kole said quietly.
"More like he needs a girl to keep him in line." Bee rolled her eyes. "He's so.. selfish.. self absorbed.. cold.. spoiled, obsessive, jealous, insensitive.."
"He needs a girl that will draw him out of that. Teach him to relax a bit in life. Someone who's selfless, caring, care-free, loving... someone like-" Jinx began but was cut off by Jade.
"Someone like Kori."
"Yes! Someone exactly like Kori.. someone.. exactly.." all the girls turned to Kori.
Kori raised an eyebrow while the girls exchanged glances.
"You know he use to have a girl that kept him in line..." Rachel said sadly.
"I've never felt so bad for someone in my life." Argent muttered.
"What happened?" Kori asked curiously.
"There was this girl, named Barbara. But we all called her Babs. She's one of Roy's cousins. Anyways, Roy and Dick are really good friends, and Roy introduced Babs and Dick to each other. Dick fell head over heels for her and we all grew close to her. Dick and Babs dated for a good 4 years... and.. well.. he thought it was about time to tie the knot..." Bee sighed. "We were all really excited. We were at this get together the day he was going to propose. Sometime during the summer, it was nearing sunset and we were all cheering him on... so he went to go find Babs. When he went off, we went to go find Xaiver, his best friend. We were all searching.. until Dick came back.
"I have never seen him so upset. It was really stomach turning to just look at him. He didn't even tell us what happened, he just left. Gar, Vic, and Wally all went out to get him. While they were gone, Babs and Xaiver came out. Turns out, those two were doing it and Dick walked in. They had no idea that he had seen, so naturally they started looking for him. Gar and Vic came back, but they were pissed beyond belief. They started screaming at Xaiver and Babs. Babs broke down crying and Xaiver started laughing. The asshole was laughing!" Bee muttered a couple cuss words. "Apparently they had been having an affair for more than 2 years. Dick didn't talk to us for weeks, and when he finally did.. he wasn't the same. This was about 6 years ago. He's back to the way he use to be.. just.. more.. cold. All playboy and snobby. He hates that woman and Xaiver with a passion though. Don't blame him. Haven't seen or talked to either of them in years. But..." Bee looked at Jade.
Jade sighed. "Babs is going to be here. Roy and Babs are pretty close.. Err.. were. Ever since that break up him and Babs kinda .. broke off. No doubt she's going to try everything to get him back tonight."
"Well let's all thank Jade and Roy that they didn't invite Babs to the cabin." Rachel growled.
"That would be beyond terrible. Good thing we only have to put up with her one night then everything will go back to normal." Jinx shivered.
Kori frowned. "That story was.. most upsetting. I do not think I like this 'Babs' or Xaiver at all. She is a bitch, yes?"
Kole giggled. "Yeah she is, but Kori.. looks like you might end up sharing a room with Dick." Argent and Jinx giggled.
"I do not mind. He better not try the pulling of anything. I am not looking for a one night stand or anything in that matter."
"Looking for a long, committed relationship I presume?" Rachel questioned.
"Oh, this girl hasn't dated or had a one night stand in a year. I don't know how she can last that long without sex." Jade groaned. Kori blushed bright red while the girls giggled.
"I just have not find the right person yet. I am willing to wait no matter how long." Kori crossed her arm and humphed. "I do not wish to do the diddling and daddling any longer."
"What happened to the last guy?" Kole asked.
Kori blushed crimson red while Jade giggled and answered. "One night stand."
"Before him?"
"One night stand."
"What about before him?"
"One night stand again."
"Well damn, Kori! You seemed like quiet the slut!" Bee exclaimed.
Kori grinned timidly. "I may or may not ave been what you call a player."
"Really? You? It's hard to imagine an innocent face like that stringing along hearts." Jinx's eyes widened. Kori shrugged.
"I do not wish to do the playing anymore. It has bored me. I yearn for a real relationship now. Someone to call mine and for someone to call me his. It has been more difficult than I imagine." Kori slouched her shoulders.
"I imagine that you would have found someone by now. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met!" Bee gasped.
"She's sexier than hell. I don't get it either.." Jinx tapped her chin.
"And completely selfless." Kole chimed.
"And trusting." Jade smiled.
"Nicest person I've ever met." Raven commented quietly.
Kori grew red and silently gave her thanks.
"But, she has her evil moments. When I say evil, I mean evil." Jade shivered.
Kori giggled innocently.
"More evil than Raven?" Argent raised an eyebrow, Jade nodded.
Argent gasped. "I don't even think I wanna know! But now, love," Argent said, picking up Jade's hair. "We'll begin on your hair."
Bee leaned over to Jinx and whispered quietly so only she would hear. "And now, we'll begin to play match maker."
It was nearing sunset and the wedding was on in 8 minutes. Kori stood behind the doors to ceremony with the rest of the girls while Jade and her father we're preparing.
Kori was dressed in a lace midnight blue strapless dress that frilled out in the front on her breasts that ended mid thigh with black strappy high heels. Her fire red hair was set in loose curls that flowed down her back. Pearls and dark blue flowers intertwined in her hair. She had a shimmery silver eye shadow coated on her eyes with mascara. There was a small silver chain wrapped around her right wrist.
The rest of the bridesmaid wore the same dress as Kori, just a lighter shade of blue with the same set of shoes. All their hair was curled lightly and twisted with flowers and pearls. Each of them had shimmery silver makeup and a silver chain wrapped around their right wrist.
"Alright, now they're pushing it. Aren't the guys suppose to be out here already? They should be here ready to walk us!" Bee growled.
"I know! But let's just get ready for when they're here. Kori, you're in front of the line. Jinx you're behind her, now Bee, then me, Raven and Argent" Kole ordered the girls. "So we'll have Kori and Dick, Jinx and Wally, Bee and Vic, Jericho and I, Raven and Gar then finally Argent and Garth."
Each girl did as Kole said and put themselves in line.
"Perhaps I should go and find them? I wish for everything to be perfect for Jade and their attendance is not helping." Kori said nervously.
Kole walked up and grabbed Kori's arm and began to escort her out of the room. "We'll go see if we can find them! We'll be back in two, with or without them." and with that, they left.
The next two minutes the girls scavenged everywhere for them, but came up with nothing in the end. The girls sighed in defeat and made there way back.
"I do wish that the guys are there. I do not want to keep Jade waiting." Kori's shoulders slumped down. Kole rested her hand on her shoulder as they walked back into the room.
There in a huddle group stood all the guys, laughing. Kole let out a loud sigh of relief then scowled.
"We searched everywhere for you! Why were you late?" Kole crossed her arms as the guys turned to her attention.
Kori giggled and tugged at Kole's arm. "It matters not, friend Kole. They are here now. We must make with the haste so we are not late." Kole smiled up at Kori and nodded.
Then, a guy with dark eyes, almost black, with black her slicked back walked up.
"Sorry Kole, we couldn't find Gar's tie."
"And it's not my fault!" A man with sandy blonde hair and green Forrest eyes shouted out.
The man ignored him and turned his eyes to Kori. "You must be Kori!" he said with a smile. "We've heard a lot about you. Allow me to introduce myself and the others. I'm Garth."
"Greetings!" Kori beamed.
Garth smiled and pointed to the man with the sandy blonde hair. "That's Gar. Then there's Vic-" Garth pointed to a tall African american man. "That's Vic," his finger trailed to a man with blonde hair. "That's Jericho," his finger pointed to a man with red hair and sky blue eyes. "That's Wally, and last-" Garth pointed at the most attractive man Kori has ever seen.
His ebony locks were left messy, untouched and his toned body stood out underneath his suit and tie. His beautiful, piercing blue eyes held sadness and emptiness as they met Kori's. Kori couldn't help feel like he was very familiar. She felt something warm and fuzzy click inside of her as they stood there, gaping at each other. She felt as tough she was in a trance, and couldn't break from his eyes.
She was tore from his gaze as Bee yanked on her arm, pulling her towards the line.
"We can have proper introductions later! Now, best man and maid of honor up in the front. Now."
Kori nodded and walked towards the front of the line. Not even a second later, Dick was at her right side. He flashed her a lopsided smile and held out his arm. Kori smiled sweetly and took his arm.
"Okay, okay people!" A olive skin man with a goatee came running in. "Opening the doors in 30 seconds people, 30 seconds! Best man and maid of honor be ready to lead! Bridesmaid and grooms, get ready to follow. Everything must be perfect." He nodded and two butlers came running in, holding the doors.
Dick leaned over to Kori. "You look beautiful." his deep, raspy, yet soothing voice sent chills down Kori's spine.
She gave him a bright smile. "I thank you. You look dashing as well." a light blush formed on Dick's cheek and he nodded.
The doors opened up and they all began to walk in...
"Gosh, would you just look at that ass." Jinx commented. Everyone was attending to the dinner party where they were dancing, eating and chatting with one another. The girls decided to take a rest and sit down. They sat at a rounded table in the corner, watching as their dates huddled near the dance floor and chatted. Jade had joined them, but this time she was dressed in a plain, tight black dress that ended mid thigh.
"I think his ass is bigger than mine." Kole frowned.
"Is it normal for a 24-year-old man to have a perfect bubble-butt?" Raven raised an eyebrow.
Kori shrugged and took a sip of her red wine.
"So.. you and Dick?" Bee crossed her ankles.
Kori rolled her eyes. "He has only said one thing to me this whole night. It was only a compliment, nothing more is going on. I have talked to the rest of the guys though. They all are very sweet, and funny. They give off a brotherly essence."
"The boys do take on a brotherly role. But yeah, he can't seem to take his eyes off you." Argent smirked and nodded to Dick. Kori looked up just in time to see him turning away with a small blush. Kori took another sip of her wine.
"I am not going to lie, that has to be the most gorgeous man I have ever seen." Kori muttered.
Jade giggled. "As much as we love our men, I think we all gotta admit that, that man is simply beautiful."
They all nodded and giggled in response.
"I hate to ruin the mood and all.. but.. anyone see Babs yet?" Jinx asked.
"I saw her sitting in the back earlier. I couldn't see what she was wearing, but she has her air all straightened out with a big red flower in it. That's my only observation." Argent took a sip of her martini.
"Wanna make a bet?" Kole smirked, reaching for her purse.
"What kind of bet?" Raven's eyes squinted at the girl.
"About Babs and Dick."
Raven raised an eyebrow, then shrugged.
"My bet," Jade waved 20$ in her face, "She's going to try and pull Dick off the dance floor in the next 2 hours and beg for him to go and talk with her so she can convince him to take her back."
"30$ says he doesn't go." Raven chimed.
"40$ says he does." Argent smirked.
"50$ says he ignores her pleas all together." Kole crossed her arms and smiled.
Jinx leaned on the table. "60$ says she'll approach us tonight, and ask us to talk to him."
"70$ says she's gonna ask the guys to talk to him." Bee smiled at Jinx, who stuck her tongue out in response.
Kori sat there in silence, smiling at the girls betting.
"Well, what about you Star?" Raven nodded at her.
"Oh, I do not feel comfortable in taking bets against people."
"Suit yourself." Rachel shrugged and took a gulp of her vodka.
"I want to get drunk tonight." Argent declared.
"So drunk, we won't remember a thing." Bee grinned and nudged Rachel.
"That's not fair," Jade whined, "I can't get drunk. I'll forget everything that happens tonight. Plus you will too, this is suppose to be memorable!"
"It is okay, Jade," Kori reached into her purse and pulled out a small purple digital camera. "I have brought a camera so we may share these memories forever. These will be the pictures the hired photographers cannot take."
"Oh, hey! Me too!" Bee pulled out a small yellow digital camera.
"What a coincidence.." Kole pulled out a small pink digital camera.
"Anyone else?" Argent asked, but everyone else shook their heads no. "Well, alright loves. Now we just let the pieces fall into place.."
140 pictures later, the girls were all laughing and dancing to 'All I Ever Wanted' by Bass Hunter. The main lights were off and colorful rave lights flashed on instead.
Kori laughed and took a shot of Kole and Argent grinding. With another laugh, she tossed her camera to Raven. Raven grabbed it, and took a picture of herself with Jade. Kori's hips swayed to the beat as she scooted closer to Raven.
Kori rubbed up against Raven with a laugh.
"Hey Raven, the first hour is completed, are you concerned?" Kori called over the loud music. Raven shook her head no and danced closer to Kori.
A sudden flash went off, and Kori turned to see a grinning Jade, who took a picture of Kori and Raven.
"I wonder where all the guys are!" Bee danced over to Kori.
"Probably watching us!" Jinx called.
"Pervs!" Jade laughed.
"Can we get drunk yet?" Kole yelled. Jade shook her head.
"Well, unless you want to make complete fools out of yourselves when saying your speeches, go ahead!" she yelled back. Kole turned a slight shade of pink and shook her head.
"I am going to go back, my throat is very dry!" Kori yelled. All the girls nodded while Jade trailed behind her.
The two girls made it back to their table and sat down. Kori grabbed her water glass and gulped it down.
"I have forgotten how dancing makes me so thirsty." Kori set down her now empty glass. Jade raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously? A year? Without sex or dancing? I know how much you love both! You're torturing yourself Kori!" Jade wailed. Kori giggled and shook her head.
"I have changed my ways. But I must admit, doing the dirty dancing after such a long time was most enjoyable." she sighed happily. "Why are you not with Roy? Is this not your night together?"
"We'll be with each other all week. I'll have him all to myself, so I've let him free for now."
"I do wish you would join us to the cabin tonight."
"I know, it would be fun. But I have some certain plans tonight," Jade gave Kori a wink, who giggled in response. "I'll see you at the end of the week though, me and Roy will come back and we're gonna have a giant BBQ. Then we'll all go back to Jump City."
"They all live in Jump City as well?"
"Yeah, I forgot to mention. Sorry for not introducing you earlier, they've all been busy lately... they all decided joining college at age 20 together was necessary. I personally would like to join sooner, get it all over with."
Kori nodded. "I understand. I have been busy as well, with all the modeling for the European magazines and teaching the A.M. pre school... those little kids can be quiet the hassle. But I love them all.. It saddens me to see them go each year."
"Considering having kids?"
Kori's face automatically brightened. "Oh, yes! Of course!" she brought her hands to her chest, "I have always wanted a little girl.. then later bring her two little brothers, and they all would protect each other."
Jade's eyebrows shot up. "How strange..."
Kori frowned. "What is strange?"
Jade shook her head. "No no no no, not your idea of kids.. it's just that.. Dick said the exact same thing a couple months ago. I over heard him and Ryan talking in the kitchen.. said something like 'One of these days, I actually want to settle down' then a 'Have a little girl and bring her two little brothers. A perfect family'. It honestly shocked me. Dick would never be one known to say that. But you can't tell anyone! They don't know that I overheard them speaking.."
Kori nodded quickly. "I promise. My lips are in a tight seal."
Jade and Kori sipped on wine and water for the next 5 minutes, in a comfortable silence.
Then, Roy and Dick appeared. Roy walked over and kissed his wife on the cheek and sat on her chair, pulling her on to his lap. Dick sat down next to Kori.
"It seems like only yesterday you two met at that bar." Kori teased.
"Ah, yes. How romantic was that?" Roy grinned down at his wife and kissed her forehead.
"Those were good times.." Kori leaned on to her chair, deep in thought.
"Back when you were the biggest player ever." Jade teased Kori. Kori blushed red and scowled.
"You do the shutting up! You were no better, Jade Harper!" Jade blushed at her new last name.
"But I sure was worse compared to you." Jade smirked.
Kori huffed and folded her arms against her chest and pouted. "If you were not sitting on Roy's lap, I would be sitting on you by now."
Roy lifted his palms in the air. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't let me intrude this girl-on-girl action, I'll just go sit by Dick-"
Jade glared at him. "Disgusting."
Kori pinched the bridge of her nose. "You are such a pervert, Roy Harper."
Roy wriggled his eyebrows. "You wouldn't want me any other way." Kori slapped his arm while he laughed.
"So, how long has everyone known each other?" Dick finally piped up, looking at Kori.
"Jade and I have known each other since we were at age 3. I have known Roy for 2 years, the same amount of time as Jade. What about you?"
"Well.." he ran his hand through his ebony locks, "I've known Roy since high school and I've known Jade for 2 years... how come we've never met before?" he frowned.
"I am not entirely sure. I have been very busy with work for the past few months though.. more than usual.." Kori sighed. Dick scooted his chair closer to her.
"What do you do?" he sounded truly interested.
"I have been working A.M pre school for the past 2 years. We are having issues with teachers lately and I have been asked to take over the P.M shifts occasionally. I also have modeling-"
"Modeling?" Dick's eye brows furrowed in thought.
"Yes, I model in Jump City but my pictures are used in a different country."
"European magazines."
"What?"
"I said European magazines. That's why you seemed so familiar.." he rubbed his chin. "I do a lot of traveling, been to Europe a lot these past couple years. I've seen much of your work. I enjoy it. You go by the name Inna Uners in Europe, correct?"
Kori nodded slowly as her eyebrows raised. "Yes, I go by the name Inna Uners in Europe. That is my title. You are actually the first person in America to actually identify me as Inna. But I am very glad someone enjoys my work!" Kori beamed happily while Dick chuckled.
"I cannot help but to say that you also look familiar as well." Kori tilted her head.
"I probably do."
Kori bit her lip and twirled her hair, thinking. After about a minute, Dick laughed.
"The names Richard Grayson, the ward of Bruce Wayne."
"Ah, yes! That is what it was! I understand why you look so familiar now." Kori smiled at him while Dick sighed sadly.
"What is wrong? Are you ill?" Kori grabbed his hand.
"No.. no.. I'm fine. It's nothing." Kori nodded slowly and pulled back her hand.
"I was going to say that Bruce Wayne is very intelligent man, his works are wonderous. I respect him." Kori smiled sweetly, Dick couldn't help but smile back.
"What is your favorite color?" Kori tilted her head at Dick.
Dick looked taken a back. "What?"
"I asked your favorite color. I am trying to make the small talk." Kori crossed her ankles.
"Oh.. well.. red. Yours?"
"Purple." she smiled. "Favorite movie?"
"The Avengers. Yours?"
"Princess Bride. Favorite song?"
"I'm Not Afraid by Eminem. You?"
"Turning Page by Sleeping At Last.." Kori tapped her chin with her index finger. "Favorite food?"
"Pizza."
Kori squealed. "Pizza is also my favorite.. but .." Kori grinned timidly. "I like it with a lot mustard. I also enjoy cotton candy."
Dick raised an eyebrow. "I'm not going to judge you... I also like cotton candy too." Dick smiled at her. "Where are you from? You have an accent.. I just.. can't tell what."
"Oh, I was not born in America. I was born in a different country called Tameran down in the Caribbean. It goes unknown by most. I have not been there since I was very little. Where were you born?"
"Believe it or not, I've heard of Tameran before. Traveling and all. But I was born in America..." he decided not to tell exactly where he was born. "I lived in Gotham most of my child hood but then moved to Jump City once I left high school. Now favorite chip?"
"Takis! Yours?"
"Pringles. High school?"
"Jump City High. Yours?"
"Gotham Academy. You know, this game is pretty entertaining." Dick flashed her a smile.
"Yes, I agree," Kori turned to realize Roy and Jade were no longer sitting at the table, "I did not realize that they left. I wonder where they have ventured off to.." Just then, Bee approached them.
"I'm so glad Jade and Roy decided to have a mini rave party. I would die of boredom if we were stuck with fancy dancing." Bee pulled out Kole's pink camera and looked between the two. "Hey Star, those were some nice moves you and Raven were pulling."
Kori blushed pink while Dick raised an eyebrow. Bee took Kole's camera and took a picture of the two.
"Aww! This is adorable." Bee waved the camera in front of her face and winked. "Save me a dance, Kori?"
Kori giggled and nodded. "Have you danced with Victor yet?"
"Yeah, the guys are on the dance floor with the rest of the girls. Roy says they'll be pulling the cord on the dance party in about 15 minutes so we can give out our speeches, so I was sent out to search for you two."
"We never really figured out how we're going to get to the cabin." Dick rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Well let's see.. Me, Kori, Kole, Jericho and Garth can ride in Kori's car. Raven, Argent, Jinx, Victor and Gar can ride in Victor's car. You and Wally can ride in Wally's car. Sound good?"
Dick thought it over for a moment before responding. "Yeah, seems right. You want me and Wally to pick up some drinks on our way back?"
Bee rolled her eyes. "Of course, me and the girls plan on getting completely wasted tonight, you guys can join if you want."
"That was our plan too. Roy says there's a years worth of food in there so we just need to pick up the drinks."
"Hmm.." Kori played with a pearl in her hair, "I have a request. I believe I am craving the birthday cake vodka."
"Of course, m'lady." Dick smiled at her, "Any requests Bee?"
Bee shook her head. "Just get lots of it. Now, come on!" Bee grabbed Kori and Dick's wrists and yanked them from their seats, dragging them to the dance party.
They mingled through the crowd until they met up with their friends. In the tight space they were in, everyone was dancing on each other.
Bee took a picture of Kole, who took a picture of Bee with Kori's camera. Cameras flashed and people laughed and danced.
Somehow in the middle of this, Kori ended dancing up on Dick.
Jinx grabbed her camera and swayed over to Argent.
"Looks like they're enjoying themselves!" Jinx pointed to Kori, who was currently facing Dick and grinding up against him. Argent laughed and nodded.
Jinx snapped a couple pictures of the two and sighed. "We better start preparing for our speeches.."
"GET SOME!"
"I love you!"
"Woooooo!"
Cheers shouted as the guests showered the bride and groom with rice as they ran to their car that was wrapped up in white ribbons.
"Call me once you know where you are!"
"Break a leg!"
Roy and Jade made it to their car and slipped in. With a wave, they drove off, leaving the hooting crowd.
"Did Roy tell you where he's taking her?" Argent looked to the guys.
Gar grinned, "He's taking Jade to her favorite place in the world."
Kori gasped, "Tahiti? Truly?"
Victor laughed, "Oh yeah. I hope he can keep his mouth shut and not let it slip. Man, he couldn't even keep it a secret from us."
"Well, we should go back inside." Dick gestured to the door.
"You got it, boss!" Wally gave Dick a salute and dragged Jinx back into the church.
The group clambered back into the church to gather their things.
"Well, Jade lost her bet." Raven observed once the guys left to go get some more wedding cake.
"I haven't seen Babs all night.. Huh." Jinx tugged on her desk.
Just then a woman in a tight, blood red dress approached. Her red hair was straightened and reached her mid-back, and her bangs were pulled back by a giant frilly red flower on her right side. Kori took note that she was beautiful and that all the girls froze at her arrival.
"Babs.." Raven greeted.
"Rachel." she gave a small smile, "I haven't seen you guys in almost 6 years. I've missed you."
"Yeah well, we didn't exactly leave on a good note." Jinx replied coldly. Babs nodded and her smile faltered a bit. Babs eyes scanned the girls until they landed on Kori. Babs face turned into a stone cold glare as she inspected Kori.
"And you are?"
"Kori Anders." Kori raised an eyebrow.
"Mmm. I saw you earlier. Barbara Gordon." Babs nodded at her and focused her view on Raven.
"Look, I know what I did was... terrible.. and I feel awful for it. I haven't seen or spoken to Xaiver in years and I've honestly changed. Look, if you guys could give me another chance and talk to Dick for me-" Babs began but was cut off by Kori.
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"I said no."
All the girls stood and looked at Kori in stunned silence. Bab's jaw dropped and her eyes filled with anger.
"Who are you to speak for them? Do you even know Dick like I do?" Babs glared at Kori and clenched her fists.
Kori snorted. "I do not know Dick like they do." she gestured to the girls. "You have been absent from Dick's life for 6 years, as well as your 'friends'. Begging them to talk to Dick for you will do no good. It is a coward move, if you wish to show you have truly changed, you should talk to him yourself."
All the girls stared at her in shock. Bab's face glowed red.
"Why- you- who the hell do you think you are to tell me off like that! You're just another one of his play things he's going to throw away! You're no different! You're just a slut!" she screeched.
Kori let out a short laugh. "I will have you know that I am not with Dick. I do not plan to be involved with anyone who is not interested in a committed relationship." she placed a hand on her hip.
"Oh, so what the hell was that on the dance floor?"
"It was just dancing. I do not see the problem."
"You slut! Stay away from him!"
"Barbara," Kori pinched the bridge of her nose, "You are creating a scene." A bunch of the guests, including Dick and the guys stopped to watch the feud.
Bab's face turned the color of her dress and she growled.
"This is your cousin's wedding, is it not? You should be celebrating for his and Jade's happiness. Calling me names when you do not even know who I am is extremely immature. I only tried to get you to back off because you were causing them discomfort," Kori waved to the girls, "I do not know if you realized that or not."
Bab's bared her teeth and clenched her fists tighter. "You- I- You know what..." she took in a deep breath and relaxed her hands. "I will go talk to him instead. Chatting with a slut isn't something I enjoy."
"You are going to hurt him and yourself by doing that. I think you should let it go Barbara, for everyone's sake."
Barbara closed her eyes and sighed angrily. She opened them again and turned her attention to the shocked girls.
"It was truly nice to see you girls again. I'm sorry our first meet up after 6 years ended like this. Hopefully next time we won't have.. this.. issue again. I'll be outside waiting for Dick." Bab's turned to Kori and gave her a sweetly sick smile, to try and make her snap.
"It was very nice to meet you, Kori Anders."
Kori's facial expression didn't change. "Barbara." she said sternly.
Barbara frowned, turned, and left.
Almost everyone in the room who was paying attention to the fight turned to stare at Kori in silence. Kori gave a small sheepish grin to the girls and slumped her shoulders to appear smaller.
After another moment of awkward silence, Argent spoke up.
"Kori... you.. you.. fucking... you goddamn bitch!" Argent squealed and embraced Kori into a bear hug. Argent giggled and Kori let out a big laugh.
Argent released Kori and laughed. She turned to everyone in the room. "Any of you lovelies get that on camera?"
"I did." Kole gave a big grin to the girls as she waved Bee's camera.
"Jade was right when she said you had an evil side and it was about time someone told Babs off." Raven laughed and set a hand on her shoulder.
Just then, Gar and Wally came sprinting towards Kori.
Wally picked Kori up into a big hug and spun her around.
"THANK YOU!" Wally breathed. "You have no idea how long we wanted to do that! Goddammit I praise you!" Wally set own Kori and Gar slapped her on the back.
"Dude! Someone finally told that bitch to back off!"
Wally put an arm around Jinx's waist. "Oh, Jenny! Can we keep her? Oh please oh please oh please-"
Jinx slapped Wally in the back of the head, "Of course, you idiot." she grinned as Wally bent down to give her a kiss.
Most of the guys made their way over to the girls, except Dick, who slipped out to talk to Babs.
"Well, I don't think anyone bet on this happening.. except for Jericho." Garth slipped an arm around Argent and the other one in his pocket.
Jericho came up and signed something to Kole. Kole nodded and looked to Kori.
"They all placed bets like us.. but Jericho bet that you would try talking to Babs. Didn't really expect an all out feud." she laughed.
"Well little lady," Victor placed a hand on her shoulder, "I think we're all gonna get along just fine."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the party has arrived!" Wally stepped into the log cabin's kitchen holding different varieties of alcohol. "Boss is out getting the rest." Wally handed Kori 2 bottles of birthday cake vodka. "Said this was your request, he bought another one for you. His way of saying thanks. He isn't to good at feelings."
Kori grinned and grabbed the two bottles.
The group had drove 45 minutes back to the cabin and we're waiting for Dick and Wally to arrive. Everyone was still dressed in the same outfits, except the guys took off their jackets, ties, and undid the buttons of their shirts.
"I hope you plan on sharing that." Raven said to Kori in a monotone voice. Kori giggled and nodded.
Just then Dick came walking in holding random alcoholic beverages. He set them on the marble island in the middle of the kitchen.
...
...
"Okay, okay. Kori, truth or dare?" A drunk Gar asked.
The group was completely out of it. Shit faced. Completely wasted. They drunk all of the alcohol in the kitchen. They were all sitting in the large living that over looked the beach, drinking beers. They weren't entirely themselves. Actually, they weren't even all there.
Gar was sitting on the large comfy couch, one arm around Raven as he sat next to her. Argent and Jinx were sitting next Raven. Wally and Garth were leaning on their girlfriend's knees, sitting on the ground. Kori was laying in the middle of the floor, next to Bee who was sitting on Victor's lap and Dick was sitting on the chair next to the couch with his ankles crossed, leaning back sipping his beer. Kole and Jericho were sitting next to each other, holding hands and taping everything on their cameras, leaning on the glass door that led to the patio, which led to the beach.
"Dare." Kori hiccuped and giggled.
"I.. I.. dare youuuuuuuuuuu to uhh.." Gar looked around the room, "I can't think offf a dare. Just.. g-go sit on Dick's lap."
Everyone groaned.
"Gar, give a challenge." Kole complained.
"Mmmmm I'm comfy." Kori snuggled on to the floor.
"Not acceptable." a swaying Garth stood up, picked up a squealing and giggling Kori, and dropped her on Dick's lap.
Dick jumped and grabbed his beer with two hands. "Garth.. yyou fish. I almost dropped the bear!"
"Did he just s-say be-bear?" Jinx giggled.
Kori adjusted herself on Dick's lap, she set her two legs on either side of his right leg and leaned on to his chest, face first.
She giggled madly. "You aree pretty." she slide her hand into his shirt and he shivered.
"Water you doingg?"
"Korrrrrrrrrrrrri," Wally waved his hands above his head, "Pick me!"
"Wall-e, truth or dare?"
"Dare!"
"I daree you to," she hiccuped, "Go streakk on the beach."
Wally stood up and ripped off his shirt.
All the guys groaned in protest. Gar stood up quickly and ripped his shirt off as well.
"Dance with m-me Wally! Dance the dance of life!"
"Mannn this ain't no strip c-club." Vic covered his face with his hands.
"You know youu want this." Wally started pelvic thrusting the air and Raven fell into a giggling fit.
Gar grabbed Wally's hands and they both started a tango.
Everyone began to laugh madly as the two shirtless man danced together.
Kole stood up, pulling Jericho with her and opened the door that lead to the beach.
Gar and Wally looked to the door and tangoed out.
The drunk, laughing grown ups, all got up and stumbled after them.
For hours, they all laughed and rolled around in the stand.
Finally, they all retreated back into the cabin.
Dick and Kori were left stumbling into the hallway by themselves, until Kori tripped.
Kori sat on the ground, giggling to herself.
Dick looked at her and laughed, picked her up bridal style and carried her to their shared room.
Inside there were two queen beds on either side of the room.
Dick brought Kori to one and set her down, but before he could fully release her, she grabbed on to him and yanked him on the bed.
Kori pressed his face against her chest and let out a giggle.
"Korii, what are you doing?" he mumbled into her breasts. Kori giggled harder and ran a hand through his hair.
"I do not want to do the sleeeping."
"What do you wannaa do?"
There was a moment of silence before she answered.
"You."
With that, Dick propped himself on top of her. He straddled her and pressed himself on top of her. Kori kept laughing and wrapped her legs around his waist.
"We shouldn't." Dick croaked.
"Mmmmmmmmmmm, okay!" Kori closed her eyes and yawned. "I am not comfy." Kori sat up, brushing off Dick and began to strip off her dress, leaving her in her black laced bra and black thong to match. "I am now comfy."
Dick's eyes widened and he covered them with his hands.
"Dick... what?" Kori tugged on his hands.
"I shouldn't."
"You are a womanizer, are you not?"
"I am. Just.. Kori..." With his eyes closed, he began to unbutton his white dress shirt. He slipped it off and handed it to Kori.
"Put it on."
Kori pouted and took the shirt. She put it on and then buttoned it up all the way. She poked at his eyelids and they fluttered open.
Emerald eyes stared in piercing blue ones.
"You are so beautiful." Dick stroked a hand across her cheek. "Nno one has everr stood up for me llike that. Especially to Babss. She hurt me so bad, Kori." Dick closed his eyes and shuddered. "I wanna thank you,"
Kori smiled sweetly and kissed him on the cheek. She stretched and laid down on the bed.
"No one deservess to be put through the hurt she pput you throuugh. Babs is a bitch."
Dick laughed and laid down next to her, and stared into her eyes.
"I feel like I've knownn you foreverr."
Kori nodded and closed her eyes. "The feeling is mutual.. You will find someone.. some...day..." Kori's sentence died down and was replaced with heavy, even breathing.
Dick closed his eyes and smiled. "Maybe today is the day..." he whispered and drifted off to sleep.
Sorry if some of you wanted to read the adventure of the grownups being drunk. Maybee next time.
There's a tinsy bit of fluff. Yep.
If some of you have not noticed, I really do not like Babs.
Just reading the comics and having her stealing away Richard from Koriand'r..
yeah i did not like that one bit.
My sister pointed something out today, can any of you imagine Beyonce as Starfire? I could. I just changed some things and it opened up my eyes.. but then I got this image of Star dancing to All The Single Ladies and I forgot about it. xD
Yeah. Please leave a review. c:
