I really don't have much to say, but I have to admit that this is one of my favorite stories I've written so far, even though it's kinda hard to write the beginning of it because my two favorite characters are straight lol but as the story goes on things will definitly change.
here is chapter two! please enjoy :D
Time flew by quicker than what Namine imagined. She couldn't believe that it was April all ready. It felt like school had started only yesterday and she had to start planning for graduation, prom and, even better, college. She lay on her bed and watched the ceiling realizing she has been cheating on Roxas with Axel for almost four years. And it was all about to end in a month. She looked out the window admiring the cloud free sky and the sunny relaxing weather. "It's been a good high school, but it seems that all the fun's going to end shortly."
'Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight... Namine suddenly heard her favorite song play from her cell phone. She reached over to her purse and pulled it out. "Hello?"
"Hey, Nami."
"Roxas?"
"Yep, what are you doing?"
"I was just laying here on my bed thinking about how fast this year has gone by."
"Tell me about it. It feels like only yesterday we just met our freshman year."
"Yeah and it also feels weird how fast our senior year has gone by, I thought that this year would go by slow..."
"But it didn't," Roxas finished her sentence.
Namine chuckled to herself, she always loved how they had that perfect girlfriend and boyfriend connection.
"I was wondering if you were busy right now?"
"No," Namine looked at her clock which read five thirty "Not busy at all."
"Ok. Well, I was hoping that we could go have dinner together, is that all right with you?"
"Yes, of course. Where do you want to meet?"
"I was thinking about going to our favorite restaurant. You know what I'm talking about."
"Huh ooh! The Japanese restaurant, Shiki's!"
"Sweet, I'll come by and pick you up in thirty, ok?"
"All right, love you."
"Love you too."
She snapped her phone shut and ran to her closet. "Hmm...Now what to wear?" She asked herself. Whenever Roxas took her out to Shiki's that meant it was always for a special occasion. It was the very first restaurant he took her out to when they first started dating and ever since then he always took her there on very special nights. Then she thought to herself, what could be so special about this night?
She grabbed a few of her favorite dresses and put them in front of her body staring at her reflection in the mirror. If she didn't like it she would throw it back into the closet and bring out something new to try on. "That reminds me" She dropped the clothing in her hands and walked into her closet and found the new white dress she bought a few weeks ago with Kairi. It was a short pearl white dress with thick straps, it was simple and perfect for a romantic evening.
She slipped into her little white dress and waltzed into her bathroom. She stared at her hair with disgust, "Dang my hair's a mess." She plugged in her straightener and began combing through her blonde locks. After fixing up her hair, it was time to apply some make up. Since she was wearing white, she didn't want to get too heavy with the lipstick and eyeliner. So she just swiped on some mascara to her eyelashes and covered her cheeks up with base and a bit of blush.
She checked her reflection one more time making sure everything about her was perfect. After she had approved of herself, she grabbed her white sandals that matched and waited for Roxas down stairs. As soon as she got to the living room she saw Roxas' black Range Rover pull up in the drive way. Every time she saw his car it brought back good memories of when he first got it. It was his 16 birthday and that was the present his parents got him. Roxas parents were almost like hers, except they were both business partners and they were extremely strict with Roxas. But that was good enough for her. Her parents didn't even throw her a birthday party when she turned 16. All they did was buy her a brand new 2007 Volkswagen Bug. She loved it, of course, but the present she would like the most would be a family that cared.
She quickly grabbed her purse and walked out the door. Her mom and dad weren't even home. She was thinking her mom was at some party in the richest part of the city getting liquored up, and her dad was probably sleeping around with one of his clients. She always wished that she had caring parents that would be home for her and tell her what was right and what was wrong.
She opened the door to his car and buckled herself in. As soon as she got comfortable she leaned over and placed a kiss on his cheek. He smiled at her and put the car in reverse to pull out of the driveway. As soon as they reached the main road Roxas gently grabbed Namine's hand and pulled it up to his mouth and pecked a kiss. "This is going to be a special night" He said to her.
'I knew I was right, every time we go to Shiki's it's for something very special between us,' she thought to herself.
Roxas pulled up to the front of the restaurant which happened to be the life of the city at that very moment. There were people waiting in lines outside to get in, and many other cars with families arriving. "Are you sure we can get in?" Namine asked.
"Positive. I made reservations earlier." He allowed Namine to get out of the car and wait for him in the front. Roxas went to park the car.
He met up with Namine in the front of the well known restaurant. She grabbed onto his arm and wrapped her arm around his. The front of the building was a dark red with a Japanese style, that had samurai statues as tall as a three-story building in the front. The hostesses dressed as geishas, welcoming the customers walking in as if they were celebrities.
"Name please," said the hostess.
"Strife," Roxas answered.
The hostess scanned her list, "Ah hah, Strife, right on time. Follow me please."
Roxas and Namine held hands walking past all the table booths and waiters. "Here you go. Your waitress will be here shortly," the young hostess said laying down two menus at their table.
"Wow, Roxas, look at the view." Roxas and Namine both shared a circular shaped booth facing the ocean. It was the perfect view of the sunset.
"It's perfect," Roxas agreed.
"Hello, I'm Yuffie and I'll be your waitress this evening. Would you like something to drink?" She asked.
"Yes, I'll have chai tea please," said Namine.
"And I'll have the same," Roxas answered.
"Ok, I'll have that out shortly," Yuffie smiled.
"Namine?" Roxas reached over to Namine's hand which happened to be resting on the table. "I want to let you know that this is a very important evening for both you and me." Namine wasn't sure what could be so important right now; prom? She had no idea as she didn't think prom was that big of a deal.
"First, let's get the obvious out of the way, you are planning on going to this year's prom right?" he asked.
"Of course."
"Okay, just making sure. But we'll plan that later. I wanted to talk to you about our futures." Namine had only thought of college and getting a good education, then graduating.
"Like what?" She asked, obviously oblivious to what he was trying to say.
"Namine, I want you to know that you mean the world to me..." he was extremely nervous and hoped she wouldn't think it was to much. "But you're the only girl that I love and that I ever want to be with. I can't imagine being with any other girl," She smiled but felt horrible. "This might sound odd, but I'm not asking you to marry me yet, but I would like to spend the rest of my life with you."
Namine was shocked, her heart felt so warm with love yet she felt like she was worthless for cheating on him for so long. "Roxas..." Roxas leaned towards her and placed a kiss on her cheek. "I'm sorry, Namine. Maybe I'm rushing this to much... I should've waited longer to tell you this."
Namine shook her head no. "That means so much to me, Roxas..." Namine almost felt like crying, in a happy way, of course.
"Would you two like to start off with an appetizer?" Yuffie asked startling Roxas and Namine's love moment.
"Oh um.." Roxas grabbed the menu and scanned over it, "The teriyaki chicken and rice sound good," Namine said, looking up from the menu.
"Ok. Chicken and rice it is."
Roxas handed Yuffie the menus. "Ok, I'll have that out shortly. If you need anything else just let me know." She walked off.
The rest of their evening they spent chatting about their futures like going to college and their school prom. Speaking of prom, Namine had an idea that just might work to give her the chance to go to prom with Roxas but then later party with Axel. But she did know this was going to be her last time hanging out with the redhead.
Meanwhile Axel laid on his bed fiddling around with his electric guitar, hanging out with his friends Demyx, Zexion, and Marluxia.
"You guys, I can't believe that Larxene said she'll go to prom with me," Demyx bragged to the other band members all afternoon about Larxene. She happened to be one of the most pretty and wealthy girls at their high school.
"Ok we get it, Dem. You and Larxene are going with each other to prom. It's really no biggie," said Zexion, tuning up his guitar.
"Yeah, she might only see you as a friend, not a boyfriend," Marluxia teased.
"Axel what do you think about this?" asked Zexion.
"Don't ask him, all he thinks about now a days is Namine," Demyx said sitting next to Axel on his bed. "Am I right?" Demyx asked.
"...Unfortunately, you are," Axel answered. "I was hoping by now her and Roxas would have split up... But they are still together after all these years. I just don't get it, I'm a lead singer of a band, I have good looks... No, erase that. I'm sexy as hell and have good grades... And she still chooses to be with Roxas. I just don't get that. He seems like he can be cruel to her, yah know?"
"Roxas seems like he can be a bitch," Zexion agreed.
"Yeah, I had him last year in Chemistry and he's so bossy and just fucking annoying. I don't know how she puts up with him," said Demyx.
"I'm gay and I don't even think he's that cute," Marluxia spat out. All four of them chuckled some to the comment.
"What time is it?" Demyx asked.
"Umm lets see here... ten till nine," Axel answered.
"Ok well, since it's getting late I'll go home," said Zexion grabbing all of his belongings.
"Ooh wait for me, I don't like walking home in the dark," said Marluxia following Zexion out of Axel's door.
"I guess I should go too. Axel, if you have any problems about Namine, you know you can always talk to me about it," Demyx offered, making Axel less stressed about the whole dateless prom situation.
"Thanks Dem, you sure are a pal," Axel smiled.
"Hey, what are friends for?" Demyx walked to Axel's door and waved to him good bye.
Axel had actually a rather big family. Both of his parents were divorced, he lived with his mother and her boyfriend and she had Axel and Reno from her last marriage. She had three children from her first marriage and another two kids from her second. Axel was real close with all of his other older siblings but since they were all grown up and off to college he hardly ever saw them, only if they came into town.
His mom was a hard worker, a C.E.O of one of the island's biggest ice cream factories that was known for making the famous sea salt ice cream. Axel lived in one of the nicest neighborhoods on the island, his house was down the street from Roxas.
Since his mother was single she would be spending most of her time at work, leaving Axel home alone. That's what he liked about his guitar, he would write lyrics about his life and the emotions he always felt. It felt good to get it all written down on paper and sing it out loud. It relieved all his stress.
Axel locked the front door after all of his friends left. As soon as he began to walk up stairs to his bedroom he heard the sound of his home phone ringing. He quickly ran back down stairs and into the kitchen. As soon as he looked at caller i.d., his eyes shot wide open seeing that it was Namine calling. 'Yes maybe she finally dumped Roxas and wants to be with me, and who knows? Now I might have a date to the prom,' Axel thought.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Axel?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"Namine, I'm glad to hear from you. Is everything ok?"
"Axel, I want to talk to you, face to face, it's kind of important." Axel frowned.
"Oh, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Axel asked.
"I'm not sure, but it's not good."
"..." Axel was speechless, he had no idea what she was trying to tell him.
"Axel, is it okay if I come over?"
"Sure."
"all right. I'll be over in ten minutes," she hung up the phone.
Axel hung up with out saying goodbye.
Minutes later, Namine arrived. Axel greeted her without a hug or kiss. He had known something bad was on her mind and he knew it was probably the end of their relationship.
Axel lead her into the living room asking her to sit down. She did so as Axel took a seat next to her.
"What's on your mind?" Axel said breaking the long silence between them.
"Axel, I can't see you anymore."
Axel felt his heart sink. It was painful, but he knew something like this was going to happen sooner or later.
"I was out with Roxas and, well, we talked about our futures. And, look, I really do love him and I choose to stay with him..." It seemed like she had more to say but she didn't want to get into details about what her and Roxas chatted about.
"Ok then," Namine looked at Axel very shockingly.
"You're not upset?" she asked.
"Namine, it's your life and your decision and I'm going to respect that decision," Axel still had heart broken written on his face.
"I want to let you know every minute I ever spent with you was amazing, and I have cherished every moment we had together."
Axel smiled at her and felt like kissing her one more time, but knew that wouldn't be the right thing to do.
"But I thought about something... It's been on my mind all evening."
"And what would that be?" Axel asked.
"You see, I'm going to prom with Roxas, but I was thinking for old times sake, we could hang out later on that evening together, just one last time, what do you say?"
Axel thought about it: go to prom with his friends, party with any girl he wants to, then by the time its all over he gets Namine all to himself for the rest of the night. ▒How sweet could that night get? Axel thought.
"Namine, when would you like to meet?"
Namine smiled. "Ok, Roxas has strict parents so he has to be home by midnight. So once he drops me off at my house, pull your car up around the corner of my house and wait for Roxas to leave and once he's gone then we can go hang out somewhere. What do you think?" She offered.
"Sweet, I was planning on going to the Kingdom Suites with a few of my friends and party for the rest of the night. So you can come with me, if that's what you want to do."
"Perfect!" Namine squealed.
Boy Namine is such a skeez!!! lol She's a playah, I have to giver her credit for that:D
Anyways leave me a bunch of comments plzzzzzz!!!!!
