Hey all! Long time no see, hehe. So this is the second of three chapters. I decided to keep the same style of writing as before and leave people nameless, I think we can all figure out who is who and if it helps read any pronouns in italics with emphasis. That way you know that they are the other person.

His eyes darted around the ornate room in excitement. A brilliant smile on his face, a contrast to the cold businessman he was supposed to be. Right now he looked like a child who had just received the toy he'd been hoping for as a gift. As his eyes roved he caught the ones he had been seeking. The gift he'd been deprived of as a child. The gift that was taken from him so many years ago all because of this woman by his side. His hand clenched hers harder and he saw her flinch out of the corner of his eye, but he also noticed that she did not look to him as she normally would have. He was her world, he knew that she was born to be his. As inadequate as she was, her life and all that she was, was carefully groomed from birth to be nothing but anything that he needed or could ever want. It was too bad that she wasn't what he ever wanted. He only wanted her.

He looked back to where his obsidian gift had been and found them lost once more. Again because of the distraction on his arm. He tugged her forward and watched as her eyes never strayed from the view she found so interesting on the right side of the ballroom. He felt her tug slightly in an attempt to head in that direction. The bar was there so he stepped ahead and pulled her toward it. As he got closer he saw what she had been looking at-him. The only one who could make his wife defy the nature that was ingrained in her.

That man had been the only one to make his wife stray from the perfect doll. It was one time. It only took one time and her eyes would forever search, looking for the turquoise of freedom. They'd never been physical, of that he was sure; but her smiles, the smiles that were crafted solely for him were never so heartfelt as they were for that one. He could already see the corners of her luscious mouth lift. Soft, endearing eyes filled with happiness, and her head tilted cutely as they greeted each other with a light embrace. He gave the obligatory hand shake. Both men gripping each other tightly in a show of strength that would never be decided. This boy grew stronger over the years and he couldn't help feeling a little insecure despite his status.

In a sudden move, his wife's savior reached behind him and threw a woman at him. The lost love returned and literally thrust upon him. He felt his wife's hand slide from his and watched as spiky white and dark blue-black heads disappeared into the crowd. His anger showed until a throat clearing returned his attention his woman. Only she was not his woman any longer. His wife had imprinted herself on him so that she could never be erased or truly look at another. He tried to maintain his focus on the one he lost, the one he found, the one who was trying to catch up with him now. However, he was too distracted by that man and his wife's musical laughter. Laughter he never knew she had. He tore himself away from what he thought he wanted and stormed over to the one he knew he needed.

Both turquoise and sapphire turned to him in surprise at the angry growl that emitted from him. In petulance like a child taking back the toy that another had stolen, he roughly yanked her away from his grasp and stomped out of the extravagant ballroom, out of the five star hotel, and out of the lives of those he wished never to see again.

A/n: Thank you to Anna for the review and very nice request for an update. I realized that I'm not doing any work until Monday and since I already know how this one is going to go, it makes the most sense to update it. I know it's short and next chap. will probably be even shorter. I hope that the content and idea are able to make up for it. Sometimes when it feels like a right place to stop, you stop.

Also thanks to nijiryuu and morning rush for your reviews.
