Mileena can't believe she let Sheeva talk her into this. It was bad enough the female shokan wanted to talk to her about her new boyfriend, but, to have a slumber party with just the girls? That woman was 30000 years old if she was a day. Definitely beyond the age of having sleep overs with the girls. To make things worse Sheeva had the bright idea of inviting the other 10 girls they knew. Kitana was still a little pissed about the crotchless panties she stole the other day. But she was thankful Li Mei was sent to the store for more alcohol.
"Note to self: Talk to Sonya about the underwear." Mileena mumbled before taking a sip of her wine cooler from underneath her veil. With a small sigh she looked around her living room. Ignoring the fact that her furniture has been moved like the coffee that was currently was standing on it's short end beside her TV she held an internal groan. They had set up their sleeping bags in a fairly large circle. Going from the veiled warrior's left to right it was Sonya, Kira, Sindel, Sareena, Tanya, Sheeva, Kitana, Nitara, Jade, Ashrah, and Frost.
"Another note to self: Kick Tanya's butt for the sitting arrangements."
"What was that Mileena?" asked Sonya finally stopped the covert flirting with Frost to take notice of Mileena's barely audible complaints.
"What do you think?" the U.S. Special Forces agent looked at her confused about half a second before having to suppress laugh. She gave the Lin Keui female a look that told everything to be told. The next thing Mileena knew the blond and blue haired girls put an arm around her shoulders giving her a hug.
"Come on being around us can't be that bad." Frost said.
"Get off me you two." The sai expert ordered shrugging the two warriors arms off wishing she didn't form the tentative friendship she had with the cryomancer.
"Mileena, this is suppose to be fun relaxing evening. So there is no reason to let your tarkantan frustrations take over." Chastised a certain fan warrior.
"Bite me, Kitana."
"I would but I don't have your teeth."
"For a pair that aren't suppose to be sisters they sure act like it." Jade commented offhandly.
"Tell me about." Sindel said before chugging her wine cooler in a very unroyality-like manner. If she was going to put up with their childish bickering she might as well be drunk.
"Ok everybody we need to get back to the I wanted to have this party. Mileena's new boy toy." said Sheeva trying to pull the reigns before this stage coach went out of control much to the pink warriors annoyance. As if fate decided to pull a mean trick the phone rang and Mileena elected the answer machine to take the call.
"Hello you just reached the sexiest woman in Outworld Mileena's phone. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you at my first convenience bye."
Beep
"Hi, Gorgeous, just wanted to give you a call while Shao Kahn's distracted. I'm having a terrible time and I wish I was with you. Kintaro brought Liu, Kung, your dad and some of the other guys over before dragging me to a strip club saying you were going to busy with the girls and they wanted to get to know me better. By the way tell Sonya and Frost thanks for leaving me to handle Jax and Sub Zero a few days ago. Oh and don't tell Kitana and Jade that their boyfriends are really getting into the lap dances Shang paid for. Talk to you later. Bye, Gorgeous."
"Oh. Isn't he sweet." Tanya cooed
"What did he say about Kung?" "I'm going to kill Liu." said the two friends in a jealous rage.
"Relax. Knowing him he said that because he figured you were here listening in and wanted to make me laugh." Mileena said trying to keep the humor out of her voice.
"Does anyone have an idea what Shao Kahn is doing to him?" asked Nitara.
"I don't know neither do I want to know." said Sheeva before taking a drink from her wine cooler just to spit it out a few seconds later thanks to Kira's question.
"Did he just call you gorgeous?" Mileena felt the blush creeping while the girls laughed at the idea of someone that wasn't tarkantan calling her gorgeous. Internally cursing the nickname he gave her about a month into their relationship.
"Obviously he never saw you without your veil." Kitana cackled.
"If he did he would be running for the hills." added Jade leaning on Ashrah for support.
"Actually he has." Murmured Mileena causing every one to shut up.
"You've got to be kidding." stated Ashrah in disbelief.
"No. I'm not."
"When did this happen?" Frost inquired.
"About three weeks ago. Right after he sent Baraka into the netherrealm. I was having a rough day when there was a knock on my door. Normally when he visits he calls ahead and it's that time of year when the girl scouts show up trying to sell those cookies. So thinking it was them I answered the door without my veil to scare them off, but, he was standing there instead." Mileena recanted the scene with tears shimmering.
"Oh my!" Sindel exclaimed moving to where she could give the woman a motherly hug. "How did he take it?"
"Well he was surprised and confused at first. He said my name and reached out to touch my face, but, before he did I ran to my room. The last normal person that wasn't Baraka saw what was behind my veil was when me and Kitana were kids."
"I remember that. It was one of the young palace guards. You had a major crush on him. According to what I heard from one of the slaves he got scared pushed you away and said something to the extent of stay away from him."
"Yeah, I was crying for hours. Both you and Shao Kahn tried cheering me up. Eventually I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started walking the palace but I never removed my viel unless I was in the sanctity of my room."
"I know, Mileena. That was after the guard was executed. Shao really has a weird ways on trying to make things better, but, after that you became really harsh around people. I expected you to do that to me because of the resentment thing, but, to everyone else."
"You would too if your crush broke your heart like he did. Where was I?"
"You ran to your room." said Sareena trying to help.
"Well I ran and hid in my room crying into my pillow like I did the last time. Only I didn't realize he followed me..."
Flashback:
Mileena was face down on her bed crying. A young man carefully entered the room and softly closed the door. He didn't know why he did that. No one else was in his girlfriend's home besides them. Not sure what he should do he just kneeled beside the bed and proceed to rub her back. The warrior in front of him immediately froze before turning her head towards him. Her unnatural features still visible to him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Trying to get you to calm down so we can talk, Mileena." he said before sitting on the bed as she moved to allow him and have her sitting up as well. The tears on her face had grown silent.
"Why so you can say you want to break up with me?"
"God no, Mileena! Why in the world do you think I would want to do that?"
"You mean besides the fact my face would be on the cover of Fangoria magazine?"
"Remember when I first meet you at the coffee shop. Do you want to know why asked for your number?"
"Because I have a good body."
"No that is what got me to go over to you. What got me to ask for your number was because I found you so mysterious. You seemed interested in me the entire time we talked but your eyes held a lot of fear inside. I wanted to find out why."
"Then two days later you called me."
"Part of the blame goes to my co-workers. They really ragged on me for being late with the coffee, because, I was talking with you. Especially Chief Morris."
"You shouldn't have lost track of time. Wait was that why that one guy started joking with you while we were talking."
"Yeah, I should have know they would have sent Montablo after me for taking so long. I still haven't heard the end of it. Anyway the whole time I was at the station I kept thinking of you trying to figure out why you were scared of me."
"Now you know why." said Mileena indicating her facial features before shifting her eyes towards the floor.
"No. The only thing I've figured out was what made that Baraka guy think he had a shot with you. I have yet to figure out why your afraid of me. Why you gave me the chance to date you, or why every time I look into those beautiful golden eyes of yours I feel my heartbeat faster then when I'm out fighting a fire. But I think it's because I might be falling for you."
"Are you saying what I think your saying?"
"In a way yes, but, I'm going to wait on saying it when I know for sure. I've had my heart broken enough to be careful before I say those words. But when I do say I want you to know that I mean it from the bottom of my heart, and I only want you to say it when you are ready to say it. Just like that other thing we talked about after that one date. I want to make sure we are both ready for that."
"I understand. For a moment there I thought I was going to have to bite your head off." she said knowing full well what he meant. She heard stories about that sort of thing from Kitana and Jade about their boyfriends and Baraka did a similar thing. After a few dates there was some sort of unwritten law that you were suppose to consummate the relationship, but, this guy was different. He told her that he knew about it but also knew that they weren't ready for it. He said that sort of thing should be sacred and should only be done when both parties are ready to go to that step. Something that past experience taught him.
"Oh! Kinky." he joked resulting in a hard back hand to the chest and the roll of the eyes from Mileena. "Now there's the smile I know."
"What are you talking about? This smile is permanently on my face."
"That isn't what I was talking about. Your eyes seem to twinkle when I ever do something you find funny or you are having a good time."
"They do?"
"They do." he said with a smirk on his face that seem to make Mileena feel what her boyfriend was talking about when he looked into her eyes.
End Flashback
The girls went 'aw' when Mileena finished her story.
"Great, now I'm jealous of her. Liu never said anything as romantic as that." the Edenian princess whispered to her friend.
"Your not the only one Kit. Do you think he'll give Kung a few lessons about how to talk to a girl?" Jade finished so everyone else could hear.
"I'll ask him. By the way you still need to give me back those message oils he borrowed."
"I'll buy you some new bottles tomorrow. We got a little carried away." Jade said making Mileena shudder because of the mental images while the other girls laughed until Kitana stopped abruptly.
"Wait you and him haven't you know, Mileena?"
"No."
"Then why did you steal my underwear?" The room went dead silent while all eyes turned onto Mileena.
"Talked to the unlikely couple."
"What unlikely couple?"
"The unlikely couple of lesbians in the room." Mileena answered with her thumbs pointing to either side at Sonya and Frost.
"Mileena!!!" The pair shouted in protest.
"Hey I just went through the torture of me and my firefighter's relationship. Now it's your turn."
