"Rise and shine Misty." May said, walking into Misty's hotel room with Drew.
"No, more sleep." Misty said, head face down in her pillow. She'd had very little sleep last night, her thoughts constantly flitting between Ash and Gary making her head spin.
"You cannot spend your whole time in bed." May groaned.
"Yes I can and I plan to." She mumbled, pulling her duvet up and over her head.
"Drew." May gestured towards the girl in the bed, he rolled his eyes and walked over.
"Misty get out of bed." He instructed.
"I've already told you no." She said, beginning to get angry.
"I mean it, out now."
"Make me."
"Fine." Drew reached forward and grabbed Misty around the ankles.
"Don't!" She shouted but it was too late, Drew was already pulling her from her roughly from her bed until she was on the floor. "You're a dick."
"Love you too Misty." Drew smirked, looking down at the girl in a heap on the floor.
"Why are you even here?" She asked, picking herself up.
"I want breakfast." May smiled.
"And this involved bursting into my room because?"
"You're coming with us." May shrugged.
"Seriously?" She whined.
"Yes, now get up and get dressed."
"You two are going to make strict parents." Misty mumbled, dragging herself to the bathroom.
"I'm worried about her Drew." May said, sitting down on the end of her bed.
"Why?" He asked, taking a seat next to her. "She seems fine."
"Of course she does to you, but she's my best friend and I can tell this is an act. I feel like she's hiding something from me." May sighed.
"It's probably just difficult seeing Ash again, once she's got over the initial shock she'll be her old self again, I'm sure of it." He reassured her, wrapping an arm around her.
"Yeah you're probably right, as long as she doesn't do anything stupid it will be fine." She laughed.
"Alright, I'm ready." Misty smiled, walking out the bathroom and towards the door, Drew and May following behind her.
…
"This all looks so good." Misty exclaimed, reading through the menu at the breakfast options at the hotel restaurant.
"Misty!" A voice called out from across the room.
Misty looked up from her menu and towards the sound of the voice, her eyes widening as she noticed the bluenette making her way over.
"You've got to be kidding me." Misty mumbled.
"How are you sweetie?" She asked sitting next to her. "You disappeared last night and we barely had a chance to catch up."
"Sorry about that." Misty fake smiled.
"So where's Gary?" Dawn looked around the restaurant, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
"Gary?" May asked confused, nobody acknowledging her.
"He's still in bed." Misty shrugged.
"Tired him out did we?" Dawn smirked.
"Something like that." Misty winked.
"What's going on here?" Drew whispered, leaning towards May.
"I haven't got the slightest clue." She whispered back, the other two at the table completely oblivious.
"Well I have to go now, but we should do lunch, you, me, Ash and Gary." Dawn smiled.
"Sure, sounds great." She fake smiled back.
"Okay, I'll see you later. One?" Dawn asked, standing up.
"Today?" Misty eyes widened, she was hoping this lunch wasn't ever going to come to anything.
"Yeah, meet you in the lobby." She walked off, Misty turned towards the confused faces of May and Drew.
"What?" She asked.
"You hooked up with Gary last night?!" May practically shouted. "When the hell were you planning on telling me?"
"I didn't hook up with Gary." She explained.
"Well Dawn seems to think you did." Drew said.
"Not quite." Misty bit her lip.
"What do you mean not quite?" May asked.
"Dawn actually thinks we're dating."
"What? Why would she think that?"
"Because we told her we were."
"Of course you did." May rubbed her temples in frustration. "Why exactly?"
"I panicked when I saw Ash okay? Then I made up some story about being here with my boyfriend so I seemed less pathetic and then before I knew it Gary was involved too."
"What's the matter with you?" May said in shock.
"Nothing." Misty defended.
"Seriously? Nothing? You have a fake boyfriend and yet you claim there is nothing wrong with you." May crossed her arms, Misty just glared in response.
"Misty, don't you think this is going to backfire?" Drew asked, trying to end the glaring.
"No, all we have to do is make it through the wedding then we can break up so it's fine."
"It's not fine, it's ridiculous." May exclaimed. "Gary doesn't do dating, fake or otherwise."
"He volunteered actually."
"Well then he must have an ulterior motive."
"Why?" She asked.
"Because it's Gary, that's just who he is." May crossed her arms. "I don't like this."
"It's fine, we're not really dating so you don't need to approve." Misty smiled. "I would never get it past you otherwise."
"True, if it's not her way it won't work." Drew nodded.
"You guys make me sound like a monster." May moaned.
"We only speak the truth." Misty smirked, looking back down at her menu.
…
Misty pounded on Gary's hotel room door, he was taking longer than necessary to answer the door. She knocked continually, she had less than half an hour before she was meeting Ash and Dawn and she'd yet to tell Gary.
"What?" Gary shouted, throwing his door open.
Misty bit her lip as her eyes travelled over his exposed chest, water dripping down it from the shower.
"Misty?" He asked with a smirk, following her gaze.
"Right." She shook her head, regaining her thoughts. "You need to get dressed."
"But you're enjoying the view." Gary said, laughing slightly as he saw Misty's cheeks burn.
"No I was not." She denied.
"It's okay, because for the next few days this is all yours." He leant towards her slightly, droplets of water falling from his hair onto her shirt.
"Thanks, I'll bear that in mind." She placed her hand on his chest, with the intention of pushing him back, but instead freezing when she felt his firm muscles against her skin.
"Is there any reason you're here or is it just to get a bit of benefits going with our arrangement?" Gary smirked, placing his hand on top of hers.
"No." Misty glared and pulled her hand back. "I came here to say we're going out for lunch with Dawn and Ash."
"Why would I want to do that?"
"Because Dawn invited us and I said we would."
"When did you become the boss of me?"
"When you agreed to be my boyfriend, you're mine now Oak." She smirked.
Gary laughed at her new found confidence, although he enjoyed making her blush this side of Misty was much sexier.
"I love it when a woman dominants." Gary whispered, cupping her cheek.
"Good, because I plan to be dominating your ass for the next couple of days." Misty whispered back before turning on her heel and walking away.
Gary watched in amazement, very few girls could walk away with such assurance after an encounter with him, this just made her even more appealing.
"Meet me in the lobby at one." She called over her shoulder.
Gary glanced down at his watch and retreated back into his room, having very little time to get ready.
…
"Maybe he's not coming." Ash said hopefully, looking around the lobby.
"He'll be here." Misty looked round too. "He better be here." She muttered, loud enough for Ash to hear and smile at her attitude.
"There he is." Dawn pointed, as Gary walked down the corridor.
"Hey munchkin." Gary said, slinging his arm around Misty.
"Hey Gar…" She was cut off by Gary pressing his lips against hers.
Misty's eyes widened slightly as she felt Gary's hands trailing over her body, pulling back before he had a chance to deepen it.
"Hey you guys." Gary shot a smile in the direction of the other two, Misty only just functioning, her lips tingling slightly.
"Gary." Ash nodded in his direction with a slight glare.
"Let's go." Dawn smiled, linking her arm through Ash's and walking out the lobby.
Gary went to follow them but Misty pulled him back by his wrist.
"What the hell was that?" Misty hissed.
"What?"
"This kiss, why did you do that?"
"Because I can." He shrugged, walking towards the exit. Misty stood frozen, wondering how she got herself into this situation. "You coming munchkin?" He called back to her.
"Okay, another thing." Misty said, running after him. "The munchkin thing has to stop."
"Nah, I like it. It's cute, just like you." He winked as they stepped outside.
Misty shook her head slightly and the pair continued to walk in silence, a few paces behind Ash and Dawn. As they walked Gary's hand began to travel over and land firmly on her ass, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Get your hand off my ass or else you won't have a hand anymore." Misty growled.
"Feisty, I like it." Gary laughed, doing as he was told he pulled his hand back and brought it to his side, along the way grabbing Misty's hand and intertwining their fingers. Misty rolled her eyes but made no attempts to move, her mind was still reeling from that kiss, it might have been short but just thinking about it made her feel weak at the knees. She shook her head, hoping to get rid of these thoughts, she could really do without them right now.
…
Misty scanned over her menu, feeling Gary's arm snake around her shoulders.
"What you getting munchkin?" He asked, leaning towards her ear.
"Haven't decided yet." She shivered, in her mind she claimed is was from disgust but she knew it wasn't.
"Why don't we share something?" He whispered, placing a kiss on her neck, causing yet another shiver.
"Go make yourself useful and get me a drink." Misty nudged him slightly, needing him to leave so she could think straight.
"What can I get you?" Gary asked standing up.
"Just water would be fine." She smiled.
"I'll come with you." Dawn said, also standing. "I'll grab you something too Ash."
Misty watched as Gary and Dawn departed, leaving her alone with Ash, the exact reason why she didn't want to come today.
"Can I ask you something?" Ash asked leaning forward. "Now that it's just the two of us?"
"Okay." Misty said hesitantly.
"What is this thing with Gary really about?"
"What do you mean?" Misty questioned.
"You're not being serious are you? It's some sort of joke, surely."
"Why should it be?" Misty crossed her arms.
"Because it's Gary, even you wouldn't lower your standards that much."
"Thanks." Misty glared. "But judging by my past I've never had particularly high standards."
"Cheap shot." Ash crossed his arms too. "Is this what it's all about? Trying to get back at me?"
"Oh my god! Could you be any more conceited?" Misty shouted. "This is nothing to do with you."
"Do you think this thing with Gary is a good idea?" Ash sighed, trying to avoid an argument.
"Yes I do as a matter of fact."
"I just think that you should…" Ash started but Misty cut him off.
"No, I'm sick of this." Misty stood up.
"Where are you going?" Ash asked, looking up at her.
"Back to the hotel, I don't have to put up with this." Misty turned and walked away from the table, Ash calling her back the whole time.
"What's wrong?" Gary asked, once Misty arrived by his side.
"We're going." Misty grabbed Gary's hand and dragged him out the restaurant.
"Why did Misty just storm off?" Dawn asked, arriving back the table.
"We had a disagreement." Ash shrugged.
"About?" Dawn crossed her arms and stared Ash down.
"About Gary." Ash finally admitted.
"What's the matter with you? I told you the more you complain the more you're going to push her to him. You know what she's like."
"What do you mean what she's like?"
"You know." Dawn sighed. "She's a stubborn girl at times, you say don't you know she's going to do it."
"You're making her sound like a child." Ash said defensively.
"Well you said it."
"No, I'm not having this. You don't even know Misty, you have no right to say anything about her."
"I'm not having this argument again, either drop it or we might as well leave." Dawn crossed her arms.
"I'm not in the mood anymore." He shrugged, standing up.
Rolling her eyes Dawn followed after Ash and out the restaurant.
…
Misty and Gary arrived back at the hotel, not a single word had been said between them the whole time.
"Plan to tell me why we had to run off like that?" He asked.
"I just didn't want to deal with Ash anymore." Misty shrugged.
"What did he do this time?"
"He was just complaining about you again."
"Aw, don't like Ashy-boy bad mouthing your new stud of a boyfriend?" Gary smirked.
"Don't get cocky, it was nothing to do with you, I had to look like I cared." Misty gave him a cheeky smile.
"Sure, if you say so."
"There you are." Brock's voice called out from across the lobby.
"Hey Brock." Misty smiled.
"May said I'd find you two together." Brock shot Misty a look, indicating they'd be talking about this later.
"Well here we are." Gary said, pulling Misty into him. "What can we do you for?"
"We're all going to the pub, spend the afternoon there."
"Everyone?" Misty asked sceptically.
"Yeah." Brock smiled. "There's Ash and Dawn, I'll go ask them too."
Brock walked away towards the pair that had just arrived, Misty watched as Brock spoke to them and they both nodded in response.
"I'm not going." Misty said, turning towards Gary.
"Why? Because Ashy-boy will be there?" He asked.
"I'm just not in the mood for that again." She explained.
"You've got to show him you don't care, be the bigger person."
"Not happening," She shook her head.
"You're coming, I'm going so you're going."
"Why should I?"
"Because I can't be seen without my girl, makes me look pathetic if I can't even get her to agree to go to the pub with me." He shrugged.
"You really know how to sweet talk a lady, you know that?" Misty gave him a look.
"I try." He winked. "Come on, I went to that stupid lunch thing so you're coming with me." Gary held his hand out and Misty stared down at it. "Please."
Gary smiled at Misty, it was the first time Misty had ever seen him genuinely smile. It wasn't like his usual arrogant smile, there was a warmth behind it that reached all the way to his eyes. Without even meaning to Misty found herself smiling back.
"Alright." She took his hand and walked over to the rest.
Once they got to the others they stood on the outskirts of group, sharing little jokes, if she was paying attention she would have seen that Ash was staring the couple down, his eyes burning holes into them. But at that current moment Misty was too wrapped up in Gary, and his beautiful smile.
…
The more I write this the more I realise I've based Gary on someone I know, oops. Well he won't read it and what he doesn't know can't hurt the poor boy ;) as long as I don't leave my laptop unattended he does have a tendency to nose through my stuff when I'm not around
Please review :) thanks
