What She Really Wants
--
You guessed it was Brendan? MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Dang you guys.
… Just…Dang.
So, here's chapter two, I guess…
--
" Brendan?" May stuttered.
" Hey there," Brendan smiled. May glared at him, an idea quickly forming in her mind.
She was only vaguely aware of Dawn's cautious lingering. Her hand raised, and…
SLAP" How DARE you come back here?" May growled.
" M-May, I-" Brendan was cut off.
" He's here for your job." A purple-haired man stepped past Brendan, staring coolly at May. " From your reaction to him, I assume you do not want it?"
May gawked, speechless.
" Paul!" Dawn squealed, jumping up to greet the stoic man. A tiny smile flashed onto his face. He put down a bag that he was holding and stepped closer to her.
" Hey, Dawn."
" I really owe you one, Paul! I can't even begin to express how grateful I am!" She fumbled over her own words, blushing. Paul chuckled lightly.
" It's the least I could do for you. You don't owe me anything."
May continued to stare. Misty came up and looked at Brendan.
" I hope you understand how hard it is for May for you to be here," Misty scowled.
" I just wanted to…" Brendan trailed off at the angry light in the girl's eyes.
" If you make onewrong move, or say a single wrong word, you are going to find yourself going home with a lot of broken bones, understand?" Misty growled. Brendan's face became serious.
" I work under Drew, but I also came here to apologize." He looked meaningfully at Misty's protective position between him and the brunette. Grudgingly, she stepped aside.
" May…"
" I don't want your pathetic apology." May turned her head away.
" I know what I did was wrong, and I don't expect you to forgive me," Brendan grimaced. " But I need you to know how sorry I am, how much I regret what I did, and how much I miss you. May, I need you."
" Are you two done with your love fest?" Paul scoffed. " We're here to discuss rules, not to spill out love confessions."
May remained silent.
" Rules?" Dawn blinked.
" You are not to touch, insult, or argue with Mr. Rosalind," Paul stated. " Nor are you to speak to him without fully addressing him, and if you are even one minute late, you are fired." May shivered. " You will arrive at work in your assigned uniform, and you are not to complain about it. Entering Mr. Rosalind's office without permission is strictly forbidden, slacking off is not tolerated, and if you make one wrong move, you're fired. You cannot ask to have time alone with him, as he is very busy, and if you say more than eight hundred fifty words every five minutes, you are fired. You will do everything he says without question."
" Eight hundred fifty? Where did that come from?" Dawn stuttered. May's eyes were wide, her head whirling from some of the more ridiculous rules.
" Those rules have been passed down in his family," Brendan explained. " He can't change them."
" But aren't some of them a little… I don't know… retarded?" Misty asked. Paul turned toward her.
" If he heard that, he would have had you sued." Brendan grinned jokingly. However, his words were dead serious.
" And the uniforms?" May whispered, her eyes turning toward the bag on the ground.
" Take a look for yourself." Paul smirked. May bent down, taking the uniform out of the bag, inspecting it.
Her jaw dropped.
" Oh. My. God." May felt her face heating up. " We're wearing that?"
Brendan snickered.
Paul grinned.
Dawn walked up to the skimpy-looking black and red uniform.
" What the…?" She gasped.
" Go try it on," Paul suggested to the two girls, taking out another one and handing it to Dawn. Dazed, the two girls walked to the bedroom.
--
" So that's your precious little Paul?" May grumbled. Dawn sighed.
" Don't blame him. It's not like he designed it."
May just muttered incoherently.
Stepping into the room, Dawn said,
" Besides, it looks cute."
May slumped against the wall, Brendan's words repeating in her mind.
I regret what I did.
I miss you.
I need you.
" May?" Dawn asked. " You coming?" May blinked, dragged back into reality.
" Yeah, coming."
--
" That outfit is seriously wrong," Misty muttered. Brendan and Paul exchanged amused glances. The redhead looked up to glare at Brendan.
" You hurt her, and you hurt her bad, Brendan. I don't know if you meant that, but I know that she's not like she used to be. She won't fall for your game again, you player."
Brendan frowned.
" This isn't a game, Misty. I really do love her, and everyday I regret my choice. I will admit that I made a mistake, but I'm trying to right it. Give me a little credit, at least."
" Over. My. Dead. Body!!" Misty hissed. Paul groaned.
" Why in the world are you so cold?"
Both Brendan and Misty stared at him incredulously.
May and Dawn entered the room, both with a sour expression on their faces. Brendan laughed.
" That looks good on you, May." May blushed against her will. Paul took three long strides towards Dawn and took her in his arms. Dawn turned a delicate pink.
" You like it?" she whispered. Paul bent down and murmured something quietly. Dawn's face turned scarlet as she tried to fumble for the right words.
" It's…a little... revealing…" May said, frowning.
" It's just right," Brendan grinned. May smacked him.
" Pervert!"
" Ow!" Brendan yelped.
" You deserved it," Misty smirked.
" You two will start next Wednesday." Paul smirked.
--
" Today was a long day," May said, shutting the door after Brendan and Paul. " I think I have a headache, too."
" Can't be that bad," Dawn smiled. " I thought today was fine. Well, besides the… uniforms…" She yawned. " Well, I got to go. See you guys tomorrow!"
" Night, Dawn." May called after her.
" Bye," Misty started to follow, but hesitating before she turned. " May…"
" Yeah?" May turned.
" It's about Brendan," Misty bit her lip. " You can't possibly fall for his game again, May. I'm seriously worried. I had never seen you hurt more than you did when he cheated on you, and…" Misty trailed off. May smiled weakly.
" I won't, Mist. Thanks for the heads up, anyways." Misty nodded her head, smiling, and walked out the door. May fell down onto the couch, immediately falling asleep.
" Hey there, May. May, wake up." Soft, warm hands shook me. I opened my sapphire eyes to meet a glimmering emerald.
" ''?" The word bubbled out of my mouth, and although I felt as if I knew his name, I could not say it.
" Nice outfit," He commented, grinning. I blushed a deep scarlet and grinned sheepishly, looking down and for the first time, I saw that I was wearing the uniform. My hand hit the couch- wait… I wasn't sitting on the couch! And for the first time, I saw where I was.
His hand was interlaced with one of mine, and my other hand grasped at the grass on the hill we were sitting on. Flowers swayed with the light wind, surrounding us. We had a perfect view of the sunset, and the mountains just over the low forest. The sky was shaded in beautiful red, orange, and yellow hues with hints of blue.
" I love you." His voice rang out, and it was the most beautiful, significant sound I had ever heard. Unable to help myself, I leaned towards him and pressed my lips to his. He kissed back, eagerly. We sat there like that, for a moment. I buried my face into his chest, content to listen to the sound of his heart. His hand brushed my hair softly.
And it was then that I knew I was in love.
Curiosity took over me, and I turned my head to look at his face. Gorgeous emerald eyes and grass green hair gazed back at me. My face heated up.
" I love you, May."
" I love you, too, Drew."
Wait.
Drew…?
Drew Rosalind??
What's going on?
" May! Wake up! What's going on?" A pair of hands shook me out of my dream. May bolted up, immediately alert. That was unusual, she noted to herself. Her mind focused on my dream, feeling drowsy, even foggy. She whipped her head towards the clock.
Nine?
" Misty." Her voice came out, trembling. " Misty, what does Drew- I mean, Mr. Rosalind look like?" Misty cocked her head, a little shocked by the unusual question.
" He's… well, I heard he's gorgeous, green hair, green eyes…"
That was it.
She fainted.

Sorry I didn't describe the outfit. I'm not very good at it. Aheh…
Anyways, I hope that was a good enough cliffhanger for you! Review if you want to see the next chapter? Cue the evil laughter…
