Chapter Two: They call it the summer of love
XI XII
I walked through the doors to the dry cleaners place; I ended up going in first since Kairi wouldn't cooperate; but right as I entered I saw the most beautiful girl walk into a back room of the building.
"Okay, well this is it" Kairi said as she walked through the door "I don't get why- … Pinky? Marly?" her words never reached me. I was still struck by the girl I saw earlier. "Okay then Marly, I'm going to go visit my other sister… you do whatever you need to do" Kairi just looked at me with confusion "Uhg! Would you answer me already!?".
"Huh, what… what do you want?" I snapped out of my daze and faced the redhead.
"Do I need to repeat myself?"
"Sure… go for it"
"Fine! Im going to see my sister now-"
"You going home?"
"No, my older sister… she works here"
"So why are you telling me?"
"So you don't leave without me"
"Why should I wait?"
"Cause your walking me home"
"Im what?"
"My sister's shift is almost over now… and I want you to meet her and walk us home"
"You do realize that we just met right?"
"So, you seem alright, and now I have someone new to annoy now… and if my sister doesn't like you, then I'll tell her to whoop your butt!" I just rolled my eyes at her. Kairi was just too weird. First she thinks im a woman, then practically forces me to help her find her sister, and wants me to walk her home with her older sister who thinks she could kick my ass. Today just did not make any sense at all.
"Okay? So you wait here"
"Whatever" I told her as I watched her walk off to a back room.
To be totally honest, I had no intention of staying in this exact same spot, I wanted to see if I could find that blonde woman, and for the record; I was not being a stalker… I just wanted to meet a hot girl. I simply smiled to myself and started to walk behind the counter and into the back room that I saw her go through. Well, I started to anyway.
"Excuse me sir, you can't go back there unless you work here" a man with a red work uniform told me before I could enter the room.
"But, I do work here, well I will be starting tomorrow" I informed the man. I turned around to see exactly who I was talking to. The man had a dirty blonde Mohawk and some sort of a mullet hair style going on. But I guess he didn't gel it completely because a few strands of hair were dangling in front of his face. I think I was going to be sick just thinking about working with him tomorrow.
"What do you mean?". This guy was pretty damn slow if he didn't get what I meant by 'im working here tomorrow' means. I put my hand up to the bridge of my nose and walked towards him. Looks like that girl is going to have to wait a bit.
"I. Am. Working. Here. To-mor-row."
"How do I know your telling the truth?" I slapped my hand to my forehead, but what I really wanted to do was slap this moron.
"Im Marluxia and Im starting my summer job here tomorrow!" I said getting impatient with the man.
"Oh… well why didn't you say so?" The guy asked me. I really hope I don't have any shifts with this loser.
"I did tell you. Now if you excuse me I-"I stopped talking to him when I saw Kairi walking out of the back room with that same blonde woman behind her. Is she Kairi's sister? With this thought suddenly walking them home didn't seem like a bad idea at all.
"Hey Marly" Kairi said as she walked up to me. I just said 'hey' back to her, but my eyes never left the blonde. How could they be sister's… they look nothing alike.
"Kairi… Who is this?" The blonde woman asked Kairi. Her voice was like that of an angel, an angel with a spoiled sounding voice.
"Larxene, this is Marly, and Marly, this is my sister Larxene" Kairi said. I gave a simple smile before Larxene started to talk.
"Did you just meet him?"
"Yeah…"
"Then why did you bring him here?"
"He helped me look for Naminé and-"
"That's no reason to bring him here"
"But he was on his way here, but he got lost… so I brought him here if he would help me look for Naminé, and he did" Kairi's smile started to fade off her face. But I for one was done with being talked about as if I was not even here.
"Hey there, im Marluxia, you can just call me Marly" I said breaking the silence and held out my hand. Larxene just looked at it and then shook her head. I took that as a sign that she wanted nothing to do with shaking my hand. "Uhm… I'd be happy to walk you home if you'd like?"
"I thought you where totally against walking us home?" Kairi questioned me. I just gave her a glare and quickly changed to a smile as I looked at Larxene.
"So what do you say?" I asked her, giving her my most charming smile.

Well, I guess my smile worked, because I was walking with the world's most beautiful girl… and her annoying sister, but that's not the point. I am walking with Larxene and I have to say, our conversations were going great! Not only was she gorgeous but we also had a great connection with each other. This bizarre day had totally turned out wonderful, and that's not the only good news, she's staying in the same crappy hotel building as me and just one room away! I think she said her family was in either room twelve or ten. Kairi was quiet almost the entire way.
When we got to their hotel room- which was room twelve- Kairi invited me in to meet their family. She sure is a hyper little kid, well, a fourteen year old kid anyway.
They have a lot of brothers and sisters. First there was Naminé; who was apparently Kairi's twin so they are both fourteen, I think Kairi was the older one. Then there was Hayner, he was fifteen and he seemed like kind of a brat though. There's also Seifer, he just finished his junior year at Twilight High. Larxene came next in age, she's eighteen and turning nineteen soon. The last one of the siblings was a guy named Luxord he's twenty-two years old and is on break from Twilight University for the summer. Damn there were a lot of siblings here… Larxene still had to be my favorite, not that im choosing or anything like that.
"So… Marly, are you gay?" Hayner asked me as he got up on his tip-toes to attempt to get face to face with me. That BRAT!
"No… im most diffidently straight, ask my last girlfriend" I said as I pushed him down onto the room's sofa. I couldn't help but snicker as he fell.
"Oh gross… don't tell me that crap!" Hayner said as he got off the couch and headed for his room. After that everyone was pretty quiet, Seifer and Hayner went to their rooms and Naminé was at a table drawing and Kairi was hovering around her. Larxene and I sat on the couch and Luxord told me that I was welcome to come anytime seeing that Kairi was already fond of me.
I don't really get why this family was so trusting, Kairi just asked me for a simple favor, Larxene seemed to just fallow along, and Luxord who was the oldest sibling in the family just told me I could come back… oh well, at least I know some people here.
I looked down at my watch -11:36 pm- This explains why im so tired, and hungry, I haven't had any dinner yet. I got up from the couch and Im guessing that Larxene was starting to fall asleep because when the wait of the cushion decrease she flinched a little.
"Where ya going?" Larxene asked as she stretched her cramped up limbs.
"I'm going to go find somewhere to eat or go buy some food" I informed "haven't eaten since I got here".
"Awww" Kairi complained as she walked over to me "You're leaving?"
"Yeah, it's getting late" Offer me something, please offer me something!
"You can eat here" Thank-you; now, what to say to so it doesn't seem like im desperate.
"You already ate; I wouldn't want to be a bother" Now all she needs to say is 'come on, you can spare one night'.
"Okay then, good luck finding a place to eat" Crap! That's not what she was supposed to say!
I watched her smile at me and then skipped back to watch Naminé draw some more. I just waited till she wasn't paying attention to me till I gave a small frown. I sighed and then looked behind me to see Larxene walking towards me.
"If you want, I can show you where the Corner store is, I mean it doesn't have much… but it's close and it stays open twenty-four hours" Larxene offered.
"Sure!" I said happily. It may just be a corner store, but it had food and I get to go there with Larxene.
"Okay then, let's go" She said as she walked past me to open the door. "Ladies first" She gave me a devilish smile. So this is where Kairi gets it from. I didn't argue or make a smart remark after that, just walked through the door laughing.
