Shadowofthenight- Hey there! I have a little surprise for you guys, there are several new charectors ive introduced to this story! :D This is my chapter, so enjoyness & reviewwwww :D
We both looked at each other. Riku's eyes were wide and Im sure I mirrored his expression. I turned to Xion and hissed,
"WHAT?" She shot me an innocent look, smiling evilly at me. I think she can see through my plan. Shit
"Well, since you two are going out, I wanna see you kiss, You're so cute together!" This sentence brought out several reactions in the boys. Riku gulped and smiled at me, wiping my face with his napkin. I must have sauce on my face again. I blushed. Roxas flinched and glared at Riku, gritting his teeth.
"Roxas, you okay?" I asked cautiously. He relaxed his jaw, smiling at me. I could see he was shaking.
"Im fine" He replied in a monotone. I could see the conflict in his big blue eyes. What's wrong with him?
"Soooo….. Kiss!" Xion pleaded in that annoying whiney voice of hers. I looked at Riku, he nodded slighty. I just closed my eyes and leaned in, waiting for him to claim my lips. It seemed like I could hear the clock ticking in my head as I felt his breathing come closer and closer, until our noses bumped.
"We have to convince them Nams" he whispered. I nodded. I could feel Roxa's eyes staring at me. He moved in, placing his lips on mine. He pulled me closer, and I didn't object, wrapping my arms around him as he played with a lock of my hair. He broke away, grinning and winking at me. I giggled and turned back to Xion. I plastered a big fake grin on my face.
"Happy now?" I giggled, and she sat there with her mouth wide open. I doubt she thought I would do it. I smiled triumphantly. I swivelled my eyes to look over at Roxas. His eyes were big and expressionless, but they were shining in the light. He met my gaze for a second. I couldn't understand his expression. He looked… empty. Like he wasn't there anymore. He broke away, sensing I knew too much I guess, but I didn't know anything.
*Roxy's POV*
I was falling. I tried to scream, but no sound came out from my trembling lips. They kissed. They kissed! I blinked furiously, trying to get rid of the sudden moisture in my eyes. Why was I reacting this way? I had a girlfriend. So why did I feel like punching Riku? What was wrong with me? I arranged my features into an expressionless mask, hoping to smother any unwanted emotions from my face.
Xion didn't seem to notice my obvious discomfort. They broke apart, both grinning. He winked at her. My face faltered.
"Happy now?" she said, giggling. She was so happy. I suddenly wished I was Riku. Then she looked at me. Her sudden humour vanished. She was looking at me with concern, like she saw through me. I broke eye contact and tried to calm down.
"Whoa." Xion simply stated, putting her hands on her hips. Namine giggled again, her eyes lighting up as she did so. Goddamit. I intertwined my fingers with Xion's under the table, and she smiled at me. She then plunged into a huge ramble about anything, high school, her job, whatever came to her mind. I chuckled every now and again, not paying any attention, staring at my coke.
*Nami's POV whoopee!*
As Xion chatted away, I let my mind wander. Could anything good really come out of pretending to Riku's girlfriend? Why would Roxas be jealous in the first place? I was like a sister to him, and he loved me. But not in the way I wanted. I suddenly realised I was selfish. All this time, I tried to get what I wanted, never thinking about other people. Xion would be heartbroken, and besides appearances, I didn't want that. I don't want to hurt anybody.
Roxas and Xion got up from the table holding hands. Roxas pushed Xion's chair in behind her. They both smiled at us, And Roxas waved. "See you guys tomorrow" Xion chirped, practically skipping out of the restaurant. Roxas chuckled and turned to face me.
"Bye Nami, Bye Riku" He smiled at me, and ran after Xion. The door banged shut behind him .
I turned to face Riku with a smile. I leapt on him, hugging him tight.
" Thank you" I said simply. " You got Xion off my trail, she was getting suspicious" He chuckled and pulled away.
"Ready to go home? He said, smiling at me. I was practically bouncing with joy. It wouldn't be hard to keep up the pretence now, Im pretty sure I convinced both of them. A pang of hurt washed though my heart as I remembered Roxa's expression. I shook my head
"Ready as I'll ever be" I replied, standing up and walking out with Riku. We walked home together, he lived a couple of blocks away.
He walked me to my door and smiled. I gave him a quick hug and turned to unlock the door. He turned his back and started walking away.
"See you tomorrow" he shouted over the wind, and I smiled as I let myself in. I threw my keys onto the table, trying not to think about Roxas. I smiled happily to myself, making my way up the stairs and into my room. I plopped down on the bed, reached for my phone and checked my messages.
"You have three new messages" my phone declared, and I clicked the button on my house phone.
"Namine hunny? Its mom" I smiled, of course I'd know it was her. "Me and Bill are coming back soon, the honeymoon was great, you would have loved Nepal, it was so beautiful. We'll be home in a week or so, ive put some more money on your credit card sweetie, and ive paid the rent. Don't worry about anything. I miss you, Bye angel" I smiled at moms message, and waited for the next one.
"Hey Nami, its Roxas. I wanna talk to you. Call me back, Im so bored, Demyx is doing my head in" Demyx was his hyperactive cousin. He may seem scarily hyper, but he's really sweet underneath it all. I'll have to go to see him, I haven't seen him since he last visited in may. The beep resounded, and my answering machine moved onto the next message.
"Namiiiiiiii! Guess what?" Kairi. "Sora asked me out! Me. Sora. On Friday! Call me immediately!" The phone beeped, claiming it was over. Now, who to call first. Hmmm…. My mom, she'll be worried if I don't call back soon..
"Hey mom, it's me. I miss you too; I can't wait for you too get back. You didn't need to put so much money on my card mom, I'm fine. Thanks for paying the rent. Love you." I put the phone down and searched through my contacts until I found Kairi. Guess I'd deal with Roxas later.
It had only rung once before Kai picked up.
" Namine oh my god, Sora asked me out and I was all cool like yeah okay and he said, 'great pick you up at Eight on Friday' and I was like Yeah, see you then, then I was like oh my god and I picked up my phone and called you and he is so HOT" she finished, taking in a deep breath, squealing with happiness down her end of the phone. I giggled; Kairi could be so ditzy sometimes.
"Kai?" "Yes Namine!" She shouted happily down the phone, I flinched and pulled the phone away from my ear. It was safer to put her on loudspeaker. At least I wouldn't go deaf.
"I thought you were playing 'hard to get' " I asked quizzically, she'd obviously failed epically at that. She just laughed,
"I was, I was just walking down the corridor when I saw him, so I started swaying my hips a bit. He stopped me and asked if I wanted to go out with him!" I could picture her bouncing up and down on her bed with glee.
"Pack it in Kai, you'll break your bed" I giggled. She then launched into a detailed observation of Soras face, the way his eyes shined etc, ect. I just added little comments sometimes and laughed when it was needed. She yawned.
" Go to bed Kai, you've had a long day" I laughed as she said see you tomorrow and put the phone down. She must have tired herself out. I laughed as I dialled Roxas number, I knew it by heart. When you call someone at least a thousand times, you tend to catch the gist of their number.
It rang about four times, and Roxas picked up. I could hear Demyx, Roxas cousin, in the background.
"Nami?" Roxas shouted over the noise, and I laughed. I could hear Demyx pause the game and squeal "NAMINE!"
"Hey Roxas. Put me on loudspeaker before Demyx has a hissy fit" I laughed a bit, and Roxas chuckled.
"Kay" I heard him tap the button, so I spoke.
"Hey Demyx, can you hear me?" I asked.
"Yes I can. Hey Namine, when are you coming over!" he shouted, I could practically hear his smile in his voice.
"Demyx, I cant come over now, its ten!" I laughed at him, he was so childish sometimes.
"Come on, you can sleep over! She can sleep over, right Roxy?" There was a pause.
"Yeah, sure" he answered as I pictured his grin. Demyx screamed again. I laughed.
"Roxas, what did you feed him and what has he drunk?"
"Well… I left him in the kitchen for a minute while I went to look for something, and when I came back down he was stuffing his face with toffee popcorn and guzzling doctor pepper" He chuckled on the other end, I started giggling.
"Roxy, you know what those foods do to him, you should have hid them before he came" He kept on laughing with me.
"So are you coming?" Roxas asked, I could hear Demyx bouncing on his bed, screaming "Nami's coming, Nami's coming" I giggled.
"Of course, be there in 10!" I said.
" No, we'll come and get you, my parents have gone out for the night to a work party and they said I can have a friend over to help entertain Demyx" He chuckled lightly.
"Okay,"
" We'll be over in 5 minutes, get your stuff together" He then took the phone away from his mouth and shouted,
"Demyx! You just broke my fucking headboard! Go put your shoes on, we're going to get Nami" I laughed my head off at this, and he brought the phone back to his mouth.
"See ya later" he spoke softly, disconnecting the call. I laughed to myself and sprinted up the stairs, picking up my pink rucksack and stuffing everything I'd need in it. Pyjamas, pants, clothes for tomorrow, purse, toothbrush… WERE THE HELL IS MY TOOTHBRUSH! Oh well, Im just gonna have to use Roxa's.
I heard his car horn beep outside and I grinned, sprinting back down the stairs, grinning from ear to ear, picked up my keys, flung myself out of the front door, locked it behind me and tossed the keys in my pocket. I ran to the car and flung open the door.
"NAMI!" Demyx shouted, climbing over the front seats and grabbing me in a tight bear hug. I laughed,
"Hey Demyx, I missed you too" Roxas chuckled and pushed Demyx into the back.
"Ready to go?" he asked, smiling his goofy grin, knocking the breath out of me.
"Yeah" I replied coolly, climbing in and smiling at him. He smiled back and started the engine.
"You buckled in Demyx?" he asked patronisingly, treating him like a child. He made a whining noise.
"Noooooo" he replied, struggling with his belt. I giggled and bent over the seat to help him. I was balancing on Roxas headrest, and I wobbled a bit. He grabbed hold of my waist to make sure I didn't fall. My face went fire truck red, and Demyx grinned.
"Done" I said to Roxas, and he put both hands on my shoulders and helped me sit back up. I hoped my face had cooled down a bit. He grinned at me, his cheeks slightly pink. We stared at each other, his big blue eyes mesmerizing me.
"Sorry to interrupt your moment Roxas, but I wanna go home!" Demyx whined, making Roxas blush and pull out of his parking space.
"It's not like that" he retorted. "I have a girlfriend and Namine has a…" he paused and looked at me, a sad look in his eyes"Boyfriend" he said softly.
"Namine?! A boyfriend?! Whooo?!" Demyx gushed; sometimes I think he's a girl. I opened my mouth to speak, but Roxas beat me.
"Riku" he said through gritted teeth, his hands visibly shaking on the wheel. I shot him a look of questioning. I'd ask him why he didn't like Riku later, Riku was a nice guy, even if I was using him to make Roxas jealous……
