Chapter 2: Let the Games Begin
The moment that the sun hit the window of Nate Rivers, he sighed thinking about the trouble that he got himself into. He thought that she was just a dream: Angel. He glared at the thought of her being in his life for one week. One week! He groaned at the idea of that girl with her ridiculous outfits making him look like a fool in front of his friends.
"Idiot" he muttered to himself.
He closed his eyes once more, deciding that maybe he could take a short nap before work, but it was no avail since his alarm began to ring. He turned over and glared slamming his hand on the alarm to make it fall on the side. He ran his fingers through his messy white hair and relented getting up to get ready for another day.
He winced slightly as the water hadn't warmed up as fast as he had suspected. He ran his fingers in his messy hair washing it thoroughly. There was another little problem as to why he never got a girlfriend: he was OCD. He hated being dirty and being nothing but spotless. He slipped out and wrapped a towel around his waist and began to dry his hair and brushing it and dressed himself hastily as he saw the clock.
He muttered curses about the brunette as he tied his tie and smiled half heartedly at himself in the mirror.
"Two more days" he said to himself.
He sighed and walked downstairs towards his car. He ignored the little greetings that the neighbors gave him; he didn't socialize with those people…they were too perky. He slipped into the car and he drove off towards his work. He had calculated the time so he would never be late, it was something normal for him to do.
After exactly fifteen minutes , fifty-four seconds and 5 milliseconds and counting, he arrived early. Exactly two minutes and thirty seconds early. He took the elevator and saw people barely entering sitting down. He knew his brother would be there he was always early.
He walked towards his desk and saw Linda's desk as empty; he frowned slightly thinking that Eru would clearly dock her pay for it and he couldn't keep vouching for her. He dropped everything off at his desk and tried to get Eru to stop Linda's pay dock.
As he was walking towards his brother's office, he heard giggling and turned to see Mello and Linda walking hand in hand. Their hair was wet and it was obvious that they had spent the night together…again. He felt himself turn red in anger and just walked into Eru's office quicker before he could show them his anger and make a bigger fool out of himself.
As he closed the door heavily behind him he looked at Eru who was busily typing away at the computer.
"No, I won't change my mind about the pay dock for being late, even if it is Linda" Eru said in a deadpan tone.
"Forget that, Mello was late too" he added.
Eru formed a smirk and looked up.
"Sit" Eru said.
Nate did as asked and he plopped down on the comfortable chair. He sighed and looked at Eru as a blank expression.
"How was your meeting with Angel?" Eru asked.
Nate groaned thinking about it and he heard his brother laughing in amusement. He looked to see Eru showing obvious mirth, with his dark eyes glittering in amusement.
"Horrid" was Nate's reply.
Eru chuckled.
"That bad? What'd she ask for?" he asked.
"What do you mean-you knew! You knew she would ask something!" Nate said insulted.
Eru shrugged and chuckled.
"Well she's a smart girl, I wouldn't be surprised" he replied amused.
Nate glared.
"I despise her" he said annoyed.
Eru's laughter echoed in the room amused.
"Well too bad, she's coming this afternoon" Eru said and turned back to his computer.
"What do you mean she's coming today?" Nate exclaimed.
"Well we had invited her last week for lunch, but since she's your fake girlfriend, you can come along too I suppose" Eru said shrugging.
Nate gritted his teeth and was absolutely annoyed. He was in hell, that was obvious now as his brother was nothing but amused, and she was coming.
"You enjoy my pain" Nate said annoyed.
Eru simply shrugged.
"I think that comes with being your brother doesn't it?" Eru replied with a smirk. "Soar will be coming with Angel at noon, just so you can get ready."
Before Nate could protest Eru simply lifted his hand.
"You asked for it didn't you? Now be a good boyfriend and take your girlfriend out and show her off or whatever to Mello" Eru said nonchalantly.
Nate looked at him confused.
" What do you mean?" he asked.
Eru's lip twitched.
"You'll see" he said.
"Great the clown is coming" he mumbled and closed the door as he heard Eru's full on laughter.
He hated his brother sometimes, always enjoying the pain that he had to deal with. As he slammed the door in his office, he didn't notice Linda looking at him curiously. She shrugged thinking that maybe now that he had a girlfriend his nervousness around her would end.
He walked over to his desk and he sat down with a sigh. He looked at his digital clock and saw that it was 9:30 a.m.; he had two and a half hours to try and avoid her. He decided to look at his paperwork and dig himself into his work. He found that work relieved stress from the real life situations and everything.
As he looked up he saw that it was ten till noon.
"I need to get out of here" he mumbled to himself.
He grabbed his coat quickly and he decided that he was going to get out of there before he could get caught by her. As he walked outside, he saw that Mello was flirting once again. At first he thought it was Linda, but he saw her practically stabbing the keyboard and glaring at the scene.
"The office just got cuter as an angel has walked into the building" he heard Mello say.
"I'm here for someone" the woman said. "And you need to come up with a better line than that"
Nate stared at the scene curiously and saw that the girl was a brunette. She was pretty short and had a nice figure from what he could see.
"Is it a boyfriend?" Mello asked and leaned towards her invading her personal space.
He heard the girl giggle and he rolled his eyes annoyed, another airhead.
"Actually-Nate!" the girl said excitedly.
Nate blinked and looked up immediately to see that the girl who was previously giggling was actually Angel herself. He was shocked that she practically rushed towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms wrapped around her waist automatically and was forced to lean down slightly as she was so petite.
"You know him?" Mello said flabbergasted.
Angel turned to face Mello and smiled politely.
"He's my boyfriend" she replied simply.
"Him?" Mello said shocked.
Angel merely smiled and leaned against Nate. As she did that Nate lip's twitched and a smirk was formed. He had one up Mello, this girl, she was the one that Mello had been after and she ignored him because of him. Him!
Angel looked up at him and did something he wasn't expecting. She leaned up and kissed his lips softly. His eyes widened and his grip tightened on her waist. She, she was giving him his first kiss, and it wasn't so forced as he thought. Her lips were full and pink, and soft and….they're sweet. He didn't really know what to do, but as she caressed the back of his hair causing him to relax. It was so nice and he shivered.
He began to lean against her and he was surprised as she pulled back needing to breath. He opened his eyes to see her cheeks pink and her eyes glazed. He blinked a few times trying to grasp the situation and looked up to see not only Mello open-mouthed, but Linda was wide-eyed, Eru and Soar, were staring at them shocked.
He felt his face flushing in embarrassment, but before he could pull away from her, he felt her small hands being placed over his stopping him. It was weird for him to feel natural in this position, especially as she leaned against him.
Soar was extremely amused. They looked so natural that it was frightening. As Near stood up straight ant looking embarrassed, Angel looked nonchalant about it and leaned against him seeking a sort of shelter from his larger frame. He might be lean but he had muscles and was tall, and the fact that she was short and curvy, it evened them out.
Eru had seen that look before, he had seen it in himself when he had began to date Soar. She was so different from him and was a breath of fresh air. The kiss was shocking, but he knew that it was not the doing from his brother, but on the young baker who was spontaneous and young. He thought that this might last longer than two days.
"Ready for lunch?" he said amused.
Angel smiled and nodded. Nate was surprised at how easily she could act like a proper girlfriend. She grabbed his hand and walked alongside him. The four of them headed towards the elevator and it closed. As it did so, the silence ended with a giggle.
They all looked to see Angel giggling slightly.
"What?" Nate asked confused.
"I think we broke Mello" she said.
Nate felt something unnatural bubble within him. It began to climb up and it began to vibrate his chest and it happened…he laughed. He let out a small laugh and immediately Angel's face lit up. Eru and Soar chuckled as well, but it was out of shock of Nate's actions.
"Did I do a good job though?" she asked Nate.
He nodded dumbly, his face flushing once more remembering the kiss. It warmed him all over just thinking about it and he frowned slightly not liking it whatsoever. She was tricky, and her wanton ways was making him confused.
"Don't push it" he muttered.
He felt her pinch his side and they walked out. He noticed how Soar and Eru were smirking amused at the scene between the two.
"One hundred dollars that they stay together after these two days " Soar whispered to Eru.
"On what date?" Eru asked.
"Hm…..15th" Soar replied.
"I add to the bet to 1000 and I say the 20th."
They smirked and kissed on it wondering just what would occur.
