Author's Notes: Thoughts and random thoughts…
PART 2
A formal party.
Roxas rested his back on the backrest of the plush cream colored chair. His chin is slightly lifted, making his blue eyes look a bit droopy. He wears a dark red coat along with a forest green tie. He hasn't been drinking with the past twelve hours and his Nobody form is in proper condition.
A blonde girl walked in the dim garden, miniature light bulbs (more like Christmas lights) are the only source of light. "Naminé…" a manly voice called her and he was casually approaching her. She faced him, her spaghetti strapped white ruffled cocktail dress (this isn't the usual white dress Naminé wears, okay? This more looks like a semi gown thingy) swayed along her turn. Instantly, the man offered her a glass of red wine. Naminé smiled at him and thanked him.
Roxas personally doesn't know this man. But he had seen him once before. Though, he doesn't recall where he saw him. But wherever and whenever that was, he certainly doesn't care. "Naminé!" He called her. Naminé tore away her gape at the man and turned to Roxas. He raised his eyebrow and motioned her to sit at the empty chair next to him.
"I'll see you later…" Naminé said softly to the man. The man nodded and walked away. Ever since the news spread that Naminé 'finally' knew how to carry a good conversation, almost every guy in town (in Destiny Islands) have been trying to get close to her. Sora and the others kept the secret of Naminé and Roxas being a Nobody to avoid rumors or any unwanted happenings for that matter. At that point, the people in town just thought that these new faces are just sometimes aloof.
"Having fun at the party?" Roxas muttered as soon as she sits down. It is the Mayor's party and everyone is invited.
Naminé politely placed her hands on the table. "Yes." She answered.
He didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad one. Is she having fun because she feels good at a party or is she enjoying the attention of the guys? Roxas is unsure. Whatever the reason is, anxiety is involved in his borrowed feelings at the moment. "Good." He lied.
"I left my purse in Sora's car." She suddenly mentioned.
"I'll go with you." Roxas stood, not preparing of taking 'no' for an answer. Naminé nodded and off they went; walking side by side.
Naminé went to the party with Kairi… And Kairi had to go with Sora.
As they walk outside the party, few pairs of manly eyes followed them. Some are jealous of Roxas, yet some reckon that they are just friends- considering that they both have blonde hairs, they look like they are siblings. But whatever envy the other men feel for Roxas, it can never be compared to how envious they are when Naminé is with Riku.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Naminé inserted Sora's keys in the car's keyhole and opened the car door. Meanwhile, Roxas entered his car which is just next to Sora's. He sat and rested his head on the headrest of his driver's seat. He placed his hands on the wheel, his blue eyes fixed on the blonde girl at the other car.
She managed to get her purse and locked Sora's car. Roxas watched her enter his passenger's seat. "What's bugging you?" she asked in concern.
"Nothing." He lied.
"Have you been drinking?" She asked; her sky blue eyes sincerely gaped at his.
He answered without looking at her. "No."
"Had some hard liquor shots?"
"No."
"Had depressants?"
"Nope."
"Just got heartbroken?" She didn't know why she just asked that since she knows that Roxas is still a Nobody. And amazingly, she isn't anymore.
"…Nope."
"Lost munny?"
"No."
"Stole something and regretting it now?"
"No."
"You miss the Organization?"
"No."
"Then what?" Her eyebrows making a negative angle. "I can't continue guessing anymore!"
"Why are you asking at the first place?" He asked her, looking at her sideways.
She raised an eyebrow. "Don't you want me asking you?"
His blue eyes returned to the road. "…No." He knew he was lying.
"Fine!" she snapped and stepped off from his car. "I'm going to the party, if you don't mind." And then she completely closed his door and began walking off.
Roxas rolled his eyes with a sigh. He also exited his car and hurriedly followed her. "What?" She snapped when he grabbed her arm.
He didn't know what to tell her since he acted so cold a while back "Let's go for a road trip, what do you say?"
She glared at him with her unfriendly sky blue eyes "I say no!"
'Just great.' Roxas whined in his mind. "I don't have a heart, so I don't care what you say." He said stupidly and dragged her back to his car.
"Roxas, wait." She uttered and he stopped.
"What?"
"We should get back soon because I don't want to miss the dance." She reasoned. After all the programs and dinner, the party will be a 'ball'.
He rolled his eyes and thought that she is just looking forward to the men's attention again- especially Riku's. Come to think of that, realizing that Roxas and Naminé gone, a prize worth a thousand bucks will be planted on Riku's wary face. Roxas doesn't want anything more from Riku than that. "Sure," he grinned. "No problem."
At that, Naminé nodded and they entered his car. Instantly, Roxas began driving off. She pressed buttons with her finger and then the radio began playing. A sympathetic sentimental voice sang in the environment of his car. He scowled and turned the radio off. She shot a glare at him but decided not to whine. She just kept silent at that.
Half an hour had passed and they are still in the endless road. She began to get suspicious. "Where are we heading, actually?" He didn't answer. She got pissed at that "ROXAS!"
"I dunno!" He exclaimed back.
"What?" She began to act like a heated Kairi. "You've been driving for hours and still you don't know where TO GO?"
He ran his hand thru his blonde hair and faced her. "Then, WHERE do you wanna go?"
"ANYWHERE!" She shouted; raising her hands.
"Then we'll go…" He paused and stopped the car "here."
"Here?" She gaped at him in disbelief.
"Yes, HERE!" He opened his car door and stepped off. He leaned the back of his thighs in front of his car and waited for her. They stopped near a cliff.
"What the hell are we doing here?" Naminé complained after snatching a stick of cigarette from his mouth.
"You said you wanna go anywhere." He gaped at her with his blue eyes.
"Now that we're here, let's go back!" She said; pissed off. She walked away from him and waited for him inside the car.
He looked down to his fist and hit the car. "Dammit…" he hissed.
Naminé widened her eyes with shock upon feeling his fist hit the car. She worriedly stared at him as he steps in the car. He started the engine; ignoring the look on her face.
"I HOPE there isn't a problem." She casually muttered while gaping at his hands on the wheel. The car hasn't started to run yet and the engine doesn't make its usual sound.
"I'll just check the engine." He nonchalantly muttered as he begins to open his door.
'PSSHH' Heavy rain started to pour and he had to close the door again. He looked at her and she looked back. Neither of them wanted to admit that they are stuck in his car until the rain stops.
He pulled a lever under his seat and pushed the backrest downwards. He buried his hands beneath his head and closed his eyes. Roxas muttered. "It's just a shower… It'll stop soon."
After an hour…
"I'll just sleep at the backseat!" He exclaimed. He squeezed his body in the aisle of the car and stepped on the back of the car.
"Hey! You told me we will be back in the party soon!" Naminé vociferated, looking at the resting Roxas behind her seat. "Roxas!"
He didn't respond. He just laid there emotionless with his eyes closed. "ROXAS!" She also inserted her self between the driver's seat and passenger's seat. She landed on Roxas. "Do something!"
He sat up and looked at her with sleepy eyes. "Not now, I'm too sleepy."
"WHAT?" She said in a tone of disbelief. How could he act so insensitive in a time like this? He has borrowed feelings; she reckons that it is enough for him to make him think that he needs to act willingly on this matter. But still, he performs so insensible. That's it, she's really pissed. "Have a heart, ROXAS!"
"THEN GIVE ME YOURS!" She got surprised with his sudden outburst. She got speechless and just stared at him with widened sky blue eyes.
"What?" she hissed.
"If you don't want to, at least not with a guy like Riku." After that, he turned away and stared at the pouring rain thru his car window.
Silence.
All this rain with accompanied dark clouds makes the stars and moon hidden. There is no source of light for them, unless they turn on the car's indoor light. She pouted.
Darkness fitted well with silence.
She heard a sudden sound that made her think that Roxas is going to charge in the heavy rain. "What are you going to do?"
"You want to be present at the ball, right?" He said without looking at her. "Then I'll fix the engine."
"Roxas!" She called out to him when he stepped off from the car. It's like he suddenly turned deaf because he didn't budge with her call. She used her worried eyes to follow him. She watched him lift the metallic cover of the car's frontal engine.
He looked at the engine, this isn't the first time they had seen them. He can find out the problem and fix it in no time… But with this heavy rain, it is certainly not going to be that easy. His head begin to have mindless battles until he heard a yelling voice. "How can I HELP?" He saw Naminé poking her head thru the window.
He grunted and approached her. He pushed her head, making it take shelter in the car. "Stay inside, you'll just get wet out here."
Naminé nodded at him and began to wait until he's done with the engine.
