I don't own Marimite. Please read and review.
Rei's POV
That weekend
"Just how many women are you going to make out with tonight?" Sei asks me over the music of the club. We're both sat with our drinks watching everyone else dancing out in the open club.
"I haven't kissed 1 woman tonight. They've all kissed me. I was just being friendly and they keep getting a bit too close with their lips." I giggle. The alcohol in my system is making everything seem a little slower than it actually is but it's fun. Is that the word to use?
"What about Kanata?"
"I haven't kissed her either." I say and she laughs.
"I know that. I want to know what you think of her." She says and I grin. I like her a lot and if I'd known she could dance like that then I would have snapped her up when we had played pool. She is perfect.
"She's cool. She's a nice woman." I say and she laughs at me.
"She has it bad for you Rei. Watch out though, I think she might be a bit too much for you straight off the mark." She grins and I nod and smile dumbly at her. A woman leans over the table to get my attention and I stare at her. Her bosom catches me off guard before I can look at her face but I force myself to do it. She looks pretty, but if it wasn't for her breasts she'd look a little plain. She offers me a dance and I agree as I get to my feet and shoot Sei a grin. She laughs at me and flags me off as I leave her at the table. My mind feels a little bit dull at the moment. The alcohol in my system is probably causing it and I wonder why I haven't ever come out with Sei before. I have never had so much fun as I am right now. The woman can dance but I find myself comparing her to Kanata. Is that wrong of me? I don't know why I have Kanata on my mind when I'm trying to loose myself in a sea of gyrating bodies. She sure is the only one that I want to have a go at dancing with though. We are avoiding each other I think. Or she's avoiding me, I'm not too sure. We had come in Sei's car and she hadn't said anything to me. Not even when she was doing my make-up for me. Why does she need to avoid me? Is she scared of me? I chance a glance back at the table and see Kanata sat there with a woman on her arm as she talks to Sei. It's okay for her to have a woman with her. I've been with women all night and we don't have any attachment to each other. I think it's amusing though when the stranger tries to kiss her and Kanata shakes her head. Why won't she let the woman kiss her? I haven't stopped any of them so far. The song ends and I realise that I've spent all of the time thinking about Kanata instead of paying attention to the woman. I've been looking at her and smiling but my mind has been it a completely different place. The woman steps against me and I can feel her breasts against me as she places her mouth to my ear.
"Do you want to find somewhere a bit more private?" She asks me and my blood turns to fire.
"I would but I've broken my arm and I happen to be right handed." I say back and get a laugh out of her. Her smile is infectious and it makes me grin back at her.
"Don't worry; you don't have to do anything except enjoy yourself." She says as she traces a finger down my jaw and further down my neck. I see her lips moving towards mine and this time I move to meet them. I kiss her back; unlike I had with the others. What's so different about this one? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she had just offered me... and I'm actually aching.
"I'm sorry but I can't." Where the hell did that come from? Why am I saying no to her? She's right here offering me that and I'm saying no to her? I have to fix this and fast.
"Stay there I'll be right back." I say to her and almost run back to the table where Sei is sat with just Kanata. The other woman had probably gone off in a huff. I grab a napkin off of the table and a pen out of my pocket and pass them to Sei.
"Right my name and mobile number down please?" I ask and she laughs at my face as if I'm pulling an amusing expression. She takes the objects off of me and does as I ask before passing them back. I look over the napkin to make sure she has it all right before walking at a quick pace back to the woman. She's still stood there thankfully and she doesn't look too peeved off. I fold the napkin and I place it down the front of her top in her bra with a smile. She looks a little bit shocked and I actually like the expression on her.
"Give me a call in 6-8 weeks if you still want to and I'll show you a good time." I smile and she grins at me.
"You're cute kid. I look forward to seeing you in 6-8 weeks." She smiles and kisses me briefly on the lips before walking away from me. I watch her rear end as she walks and turn back to the table smiling like the Cheshire cat.
"Ha... You're unbelievable." Sei laughs at me and I shrug as I sit back down.
"What would the nuns say if they saw you like this?" She asked and I shrugged again.
"Who cares what they think? I'm actually enjoying myself for once. I like not having to pretend to be a lady." I smile at her and she agrees with a nod.
"We should publish a book... 'The secret life, of a rose'. What do you think?" She asks and I laugh.
"After the rumours that went around with that stupid book before, I have a feeling that it won't be the brainiest of things to do."
"Oh, yeah." She says and starts to grin.
"I can't believe they thought I wrote that. How gay did they think I was?"
"Well you can get pretty depressing at times." Kanata says and Sei laughs at her.
"It doesn't mean I want to top myself. My motto is; once you hit rock bottom there is only one direction to go." She says and points skywards.
"Up... Anyway I am so over Shiori it feels like it didn't even happen to me. It's your turn to get the round in." She says to Kanata who rolls her eyes as she gets rather wobbly to her feet. She walks away and Sei grabs my attention away from her by waving a hand in front of my face.
"What's up?" I ask with a smile.
"I was thinking..." She says and I stop myself from telling her not to hurt herself because she looks amused enough as it is.
"The holidays are coming up soon and you finish school right? Well why don't we get all of the gang together? We can kidnap Sachiko and stop her wedding so that she can be with Yumi and we can steal Youko away from college so that I can get some and we can even nick Eriko away from her husband for a few days."
"You're putting too much thought into it Sei-Sama." I smile and she frowns at me.
"Instead of thinking about it why can't we just go ahead and do it? Thinking about it takes all of the fun out of it." I say and she nods with a smile once again on her face.
"What would you say if I told you that Kanata wants you in her bed tonight?" She asks and I can feel my face turning red.
"Has she actually said that to you?" I ask and she shakes her head at me.
"I would say that she'll have to wait because I'm not ready for anything like that at the moment."
"You're too mature even when you're rebelling." She laughs at me and I shrug. Kanata comes back and I give her a big smile as I take my drink from her. I make sure that my fingertips brush against her hand as I take the bottle from her and she smiles at me. Am I flirting with her or just winding her up?
Sei's POV
January
"Rei what are you...?" There was meant to be a "doing" on the end of that sentence but instead the word got cut off by those beautiful lips of hers. I lean into the kiss and slip my fingers into her hair. It feels better than I had ever imagined it would. The woman I love is kissing me, and, for once it isn't a dream. It just so happens that we are both absolutely wasted on alcohol and Kanata doesn't seem to be making her move on Rei. How much time does she need? This all started in November, we're in January already. She'll be going home to her family soon so why hasn't she acted on her instincts and taken Rei? I pull her into my front as I trip over a pile of clothes and we end up on the floor laughing at each other. I have no idea why I'm laughing, but I am, even if my butt does hurt from whatever I landed on. How many women has she slept with this past month? Am I just going to be another statistic to her?
She straddles my waist and props herself up on her hands as she looks down at me with those amazingly honest eyes of hers. How come it has turned around like this? I'm meant to be the one with the experience. I am the one with experience! I make my move and flip her over so that our roles are reversed and I kiss her this time. I kiss her with all the passion I have ever felt for her. I just make sure I leave out the love, and the longing that I have for her. I can't have her feeling that. Not when she's struggling so much with Yoshino. Not when she has Kanata to love. Does Kanata love her? She hasn't mentioned it being love although the two are very close. Why haven't they had sex yet? I get Kanata out of my head in time to realise that I'm stripping Rei on instinct instead of paying attention to her. I make up for my mistake though and kiss my way down her neck just to hear her groan. I kiss my way down every bit of bare flesh on her torso that I can, before unfastening her bra, and capturing one of her dark nipples in between my lips, as I caress the other one with my fingertips. She writhes a little below me and I smile inside at the feel of her hard stomach against me.
"Oh Sei..." She breaths out my name and I raise my head slightly to see her eyes flutter shut. My heart is going haywire within my chest. I love this woman more than anything else. I unfasten her jeans and pull away enough to yank them down her long toned legs with her femme boxers and throw them away as I hold one of her slender ankles in my hands. I place a kiss to the bone and trail them down her calf and her inside leg. She groans the further I get up her thigh to her sensitive core. Her leg hooks over my back and tries to draw me in as I tease her. I blow against her delicate folds and she jerks slightly as I run my tongue up her outer lips. I wonder... does she shave or wax? Whatever she does I like it. I feel like a child opening a present as I use my fingers to spread her and dip my tongue in.
"Oh." She gasps and grinds her groin up slowly to meet me.
I open my eyes slowly as the cold seeps into my bones. Why aren't I laid in bed? Did I get that wasted last night that I didn't even make it into bed? I scratch my hip with one hand as I yawn and scratch my head with the other. I hate falling asleep on the floor; especially when I have such a nice warm bed.
"Well that's an attractive sight first thing in the afternoon." I hear a beautiful voice and my back stiffens. I roll over and look towards the bed where Rei is sat huddled up in my covers. What the... Oh my shit, what the fuck did I do last night? I try to cover my assets, but all I get from her is a laugh that has to be one of the most, incredibly delicious things, I've ever heard. She stands up and drops my covers on me so that I'm not showing anything.
"Who'd have thought you'd be embarrassed about your body after last night?" She asks me and I just gawp at her gorgeous nudity. She grabs her clothing from around the room and gets dressed before sitting back on my bed. Why didn't I make it to the bed? What did I do last night? Oh shit... If I slept with her then why am I being punished by not remembering it?
"You look a little confused." She says and I pull a face. Why can't I remember? Oh please let me remember it. If we had sex please let me. I plead with the evil beer demon.
"You don't remember do you?" She states with a bored tone. I shake my head and she shrugs at me.
"Oh well." She says in a breezy voice as she grins at me. What does she mean... oh well? I slept with the woman I love and I can't remember it. Sei you're a fucking idiot. I jump up and grab my diary and a pen. Inside it I scribble:
Plan of action... next time don't get as drunk and then you'll remember it you fucking jock strap!!!!!!!!!!
Yup that's a great action plan. I turn around and grin at Rei, but she's too busy looking up and down my body. I blush and grab myself as I turn away from her. I feel like steam is about ready to explode from my ears, and then she does the worst thing ever. She chuckles against my ear, and gives my bottom a squeeze as she stands behind me. My eyes roll in my head as I try to stay stood up.
"I'll get dinner sorted whilst you get dressed. Do you think that Kanata will be back soon?" She asks as she walks out of my room.
"I have no idea with that woman." I shout through to her and then remember that I'm not living at my parents, and that the kitchen is right next to my bedroom. I don't have to shout to be heard. Rei always makes dinner. It's weird really... We all usually get up in the afternoon, and either chuck out whoever we brought back with us, or leave them sleeping (depending on how bad our beer goggles had been the night before) and Rei always makes dinner. She's a really good cook as well. She really is the most multitalented woman I know.
"Hey Rei...?" I ask as I pull up some clean knickers. She pokes her head around the door and I blush at her like a moron.
"I didn't make a fool of myself last night with you, did I?" I ask and she grins as she shakes her head.
"No you didn't. You were very..." She stops talking as she thinks of a word. She simply shrugs again with that smile on her face as she leaves me on my own again.
"Hey wait there." I follow her out of the room.
"I was very what?" I ask her from the kitchen door and she keeps eyeing my up as she cooks. I hear the key in the front door and Kanata walks in looking a little worse for wear.
"Sei, why are you stood there in just your panties?" She asks me and I growl as I cover my breasts with my hands.
"Did you's two...?"
"No we did not." I bark at her and Rei gives me a questioning look. I bare my teeth at her and she just smiles as she pokes her head around the door and looks down the hall at Kanata who smiles at her.
"Did you?" Kanata asks the woman I slept with last night, but can't remember sleeping with.
"Nah... Sei's just in a pissy arsed mood because she can't remember who she slept with last night. I tell you it's a blessing in disguise for her." She hides her mouth from me and makes a face as she whispers in a loud voice.
"She wasn't pretty. Sei must have had her beer goggles steamed up last night." She says and I just gawp at her. She's lying right? I didn't sleep with a munter did I? I slept with her didn't I? Oh please tell me that I did.
"And what about you?" Kanata asks her and Rei smiles as she goes back into the kitchen. What is with that mother fucking, shit eating smile of hers? Kanata cocks an eyebrow at me and I bare my teeth at her this time. I am having a really bad morning and my headache is getting worse by the second as I berate my brains trying to remember what happened last night.
"If she was good enough to put a grin like that on your face then why isn't she still here?" Kanata says as she steps to the door of the kitchen at my side.
"I didn't think it was fair kicking Sei's friend out and not kicking my friend out at the same time."
"You get her number?" I ask and she chuckles at me.
"Jesus your memory is whacked." She grins at me.
"No I didn't. I don't have a need to. I never go with anyone more than once." She says and my heart sinks. It isn't going to happen again, and I can't remember the first time. I growl and turn on my heels before storming back into my room and getting dressed properly. I am SO not amused this morning. How can she be so casual about it? She made it sound as if we had sex last night and then she evades my questions and acts like it didn't happen. I stop and clench my fists as I try hard to remember what I did. I know that I came in here but I didn't have a woman with me... I can't remember!!! I want to know what I did. No I don't. I only want to know what I did, if it consisted of me having sex with Rei. If it didn't then I have no need to know.
"Hey Kanata can you watch the food for me a sec?" I hear Rei ask Kanata and my flat mate's voice comes back as clear as day saying
"Yes" They sound mighty chummy this morning. Are they conspiring against me about something?
"Hey Sei come on." Rei says from my bedroom door and I reluctantly follow her out of the flat. We sit in my car for a while without saying a word before she turns to look at me with that smile that is opening up wounds that I didn't know I had.
"Stop smiling." I grumble and she blows a raspberry at me from between her lips as she faces the windshield and crosses her arms. She's frowning at thin air now.
"What do you want me to say?" She asks me and I turn to look at her. This is the real me, it has always been the real me with her; it doesn't mean that I have to admit that I love her though.
"Tell me what happened last night."
"We had sex." She says and I growl as I turn away from her and swear at nothing in particular.
"What's so wrong about it?" She asks me and I turn back to her.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, except the fact that I can't remember it, and I don't know if I made a prat of myself." I say and she starts grinning again.
"Stop smiling." I say but this time she doesn't and a smile starts to work its way onto my face, slowly but surely.
"What is there to smile about?" I ask and she turns and gives me a kiss on the cheek.
"You weren't an idiot last night. In fact I'm glad I didn't get so wasted that I can't remember it. You are being a total head case this morning though. I had a great time. It isn't my fault you have holes in your head that memories seem to fall out of." She says to me and I stick my tongue out at her. She snaps her teeth at me and I start smiling now. I had sex with Rei and she liked it. Woo Hooo!!!
"What I want to know is why you had to lie to Kanata about it." She says to me and I shrug. To put it honestly dear; it's because I'm madly in love with you, and I want to keep you all to myself, but I can't so I hide any connection I have to you by denying it. I don't say that out loud but that's the truth.
"She caught me off guard and I was only in my panties." I grin. It isn't a lie so I have a clear conscience.
"Oh well... Have you slept with Kanata?" She asks me and raises an eyebrow at me. What is it with all of these eyebrows getting raised?
"A few dozen times. Sure I have." I say and she nods as she sucks on her left cheek.
"Were you drunk every time you did it?"
"No... Sometimes I was just plain bored and needed something to pass the time with." I answer her honestly and she grins at me. She knows that I don't do lying when it comes to her.
"We should go upstairs before she burns the food. The woman is a great beautician but she can't cook to save her life. She could burn cereal." I say and Rei chuckles as she opens her door and steps out of my beetle.
R&R peeps. This is a critical chapter lol I need opinions. Then again the whole thing is already written up so there isn't much that I can change
