Chapter 2
There she stood; his best friend and next door neighbor Tessa Tesstarossa, She now had her eyes covered and he sighed. "Damn Tessa you scared the shit out of me." She laughed and walked out of the bathroom and yelled to him. "Well, I'm sorry you didn't answer your phone this morning so I thought you were dead." Sosuke walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist. "So not answering my phone automatically means I'm dead." She nodded and he pushed her on his bed and walked into his closet, he pulled on his jeans and smiled. "As you can see I alive and well." She laughed and threw a pillow at him. "You could have answered your phone, unless you had a little action last night."
Sosuke shook his head and walked into his bathroom. "No, you know I'm a virgin." "Then what's this white stuff on the bed?" He blanched, he forgot to clear his bed. "It's nothing probably, maybe some drool." He dried off his hair and sprayed some AXE on. "So what did you call me for." "Oh don't change the subject on me now Sosuke, who did you fuck?" He growled. "I didn't fuck anyone!" She smiled and wrapped his arms around him. "Aw so little Sosuke jacked off?" He blushed and pushed her off. "Where's your man Tessa?" Tessa was not into Sosuke, which at first didn't seem like it; she said he was like a brother or a very close guy 'friend'. " Oh he's at work right now I thought I'd bug you." She smiled and ran her hands over his chest, Sosuke and her always played like this but nothing ever anymore serious; she had been planning on asking her boyfriend to marry her. "Well thank you Tessa, but I have to put a shirt on now."
Tessa pouted. "Aw but I like you better without a shirt." He smiled and kissed on her cheek as he went to his closet. Tessa sat on his bed and laughed. "So who did you jack off for? I mean who got you all hard?" Sosuke sighed and laid his head against the wood door. "I can't really tell you, you'd probably get all weirded out." She laughed. "Sosuke how long have we know each other." "Three years" She walked over to the closet and pulled him out of it. "When have I ever been weirded out by something?" "Never" She smiled and sat back on his bed. "Fine but don't tell anyone." "Ok." He sat next to her and sighed. "I met this girl yesterday at work." "Damn I thought it would be a guy." He stared at her incredulously. "Never mind, a new teacher?" He sighed. "No a new student." Everything was silent.
" Please don't tell me you're a pedophile." He shook his head. "No she is 18 and about to be 19." She sighed and laughed. "For a second there I was about to shoot you. So okay young but not jail young." Sosuke smiled and stood up. "So your not freaked by it?" She shook her head and stood also, smoothing out her hair she hugged him. "Good luck with that Sosuke, oh I just wanted to tell you that today I would be asking Jesse to marry me." Sosuke's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful I wish you luck, Tess." She smiled. "Thanks Sosuke." He nodded and she left his room and his house, leaving Sosuke alone. "Let me clean this bed first then I'll go out." He folded up his sheets and tossed them into the washer and picked up his car keys while walking out the door.
Kaname yawned and rolled over in her bed, lightly gasping when her back popped. She slid over her bed and walked slowly into her bathroom. "Maybe a quick shower, will wake me up." The rest of the morning was uneventful, she grabbed he car keys and credit card and headed for the door.
She now sat in the Starbucks sipping on her coffee, she gasped lightly as she saw her new teacher Mr. Sagara parking his red Honda Civic. He stepped into the Starbucks and smiled at the cashier, "Hi, uh I'll like a large black coffee nothing special." He pulled out his wallet and looked at the window where Kaname was sitting. "Well if it isn't Ms. Chidori." Kaname lightly blushed and smiled, Sosuke grabbed his coffee and stood next to her table. "Mind if I sit here with you?" She shook her and pushed out a seat for him. "So Mr. Sagara what brings you to Starbucks?" He shrugged and sipped his hot coffee. "Just waking up I guess, I need coffee its my obsession." Kaname giggled and she gazed at his left cheek noticing it was a little chalky to be skin. Was he wearing make up. She shrugged off the thought and smiled at him, He grinned and looked at her left finger and noticed the ring again. "So are you married?" Her eyes widened and she shook her head feverishly. "Oh God no!" He chuckled. "I'm sorry, I thought you were, you know being eighteen and living in a house with no parents." He watched as she calmed down and took a sip of her coffee. "So I thought you were married, maybe a boyfriend?" She frowned and shook her head. "Uh no, not anymore at least."
Flashback:
Kaname sighed as the last box in her room was packed, a lone tear dropped from her eye. There was a small knock at the door and Kaname turned and lowly whispered. "Come in." A tall teenage boy walked in her room, his red hair gelled back and his green eyes held concern. "Kaname, I came to tell you my answer?" She turned to face him, her right hand twisting the small silver ring on her left hand. "So are you gonna be able to do that?" He smiled and nodded. "Sure I can baby." He hugged her as she burst into tears, Kaname pulled away and smiled. "I'll call you everyday, and I'll get a webcam, and during all the breaks I'll come down to visit you." He nodded and gave her one more kiss. "I love you baby and you can trust me, I'll stay true to you." She nodded and repeated what he said. He left the room and she walked him to the door and waved.
The next day Kaname and her mother where in gas station getting a snack for their flight. Kaname almost cried at all the memories that she had in the store, Her boyfriend hung out there. She heard laughing outside the store and saw her boyfriend and his friends skateboarding. She ran out there to say hi to them when she saw him now hugging up on some girl, she brushed that thought off and thought of it as friendly; then they kissed…a romantic kiss…one he gave her yesterday. Kaname gasped and ran over to him, "WHY!" He turned toward her and jumped back from the other girl, "Kaname I thought you were gone, I…It's not what it looks like."
Tears welled up in her eyes and she slapped him. "Forget it I know what you thought, why?" He looked into Kaname's eyes and sighed."Because I didn't want to miss you but I will I thought I could have someone to keep me company till you got back." Kaname cried and hugged him, she knew how he felt but what he did was wrong, he pulled away from her and kissed her hand and looked at the ring on her left finger. "Do still wanna keep that?" She nodded and sighed. "You might not be mine anymore but it will remind me that I did have a love." That day she left her home and came to America.
End Flashback:
"Kaname, Kaname? You there?" She looked up to see Sosuke's large hand waving in front of her face she slightly blushed and stood up. "Uh I have to go I have some errands to run." He quickly stood with her and smiled. "Well okay, will you be online tonight?" She nodded and gave him a quick handshake. Sosuke wanted a hug. He gave her a light smile and headed for his car, leaving her to walk down the street alone. He sighed and abruptly opened the door, he violently sat down and turned the key. "I'm not supposed to have these feelings." The car slowly headed for the intersection and he drove away, Kaname grinned to herself as she seemed to float down the sidewalk. She froze and watched as his car pulled away leaving her wishing she said to stop.
