Disclaimer: If i owned Pokemon, which I don't, I'd make Drew propose to May. lol
The ugly truth
Chapter 3 ;
(Drew P.O.V)
She stuck her tongue out at me. I smirked; Guess she still hasn't learned her lesson. Might as well have some fun with her while I can. "Remember what I said about sticking out your tongue like that?"
I started walking towards her. "No. No. I'm good." I just kepy walking to her with a smirk on my face, "Uhh, Drew?" she said nervously as I reached her, "Drew!"
She ran out of the room and downstairs pretty damn fast. I followed after her, running as well. When I got downstairs, May was pulling Gary off of the couch to stand and then hid behind him. I chuckled lightly but decided to play along. I stopped running.
"Party pooper," I said trying to sound disappointed. She so fell for it. She then threw me a raspberry. I chuckled again.
Gary started laughing out loud. I guess he finds this pretty entertaining.
"Oh God , you guys are made for each other!" he said through the laughs. I blushed ever so slightly. "Anyways," he continued, "how have you guys been?"
He turned around and faced May to give her a hug. For some reason, I felt some kind of anger towards that simple gesture. I shrugged it off. After all it is just a hug. And he was her friend. Plus, he has a girlfriend.
"Hey Gary," she said. "Its good to see you and I'm going to pretend I didn't just here that comment." She looked up at him and smiled.
He started to laugh again. While he was laughing I felt kind of hurt. Again. I didn't know why. I don't know what I've been feeling lately. And most of time I'm either with May or thinking about her. Actually its every time I'm anywhere near her.
I sat down on the nearest couch. "So, Gary. How long are you going to be in town?" I asked. Surprisingly May took a seat next to me and snuggled into my arm. I guess she was cold or something?
I saw Gary smirk again. Well at least I know there's someone in the world who smirks more than I do.
"Actually, I'm only in for tonight. I'll be leaving tomorrow around noon. That's why I stopped by, actually. I was wondering if I could crash here but since you have a guest." He smirked again. "I guess I could sleep at those yucky, run down pokemon centers. Since you and your guest have plans already made." He smirked. May blushed. As for me, I was about to punch him but I had to act cool, and be level-headed.
"No, no Gary, you have it all wrong. Drew, would be please to have you stay for the night." She insisted shooting me a look. I shrugged it off.
"Whatever. Hey, Gary, if you don't mind me asking, how come you didn't just stay at a five star hotel like you always do?"
"Well, you see, heh, funny story actually, I, um, left my wallet?" He brought his hand behind his head and chuckled nervously. Me and May both feel anime style.
"Alright Gary, you can stay here as long you don't push the limit. That includes comments about getting into June's pants." I smirked, knowing May would get flustered and blush. She makes it too easy to tease her. "Well, not that I want to. But I suggest keep your sick comments to yourself and be a gentleman around her."
"Maybe you should take your own advice and be gentleman around me since I am a girl, after all." She retorted.
"Hardly. I see you more as one of the guys since you eat like one for sure. Hence the reason I don't act all that much as a gentleman towards you. If this were Dawn, then yes I would. But you're no Dawn." Paul would have so punched me if he were here. I smirked at her red face.
(May P.O.V.)
That jerk! First, he makes a comment about going into my pants. I would have so blushed if I wasn't so pissed! Then, he dares to call me June! Really, after six years, I would have thought you'd know my name right now. He loves ticking me off. And lastly, he calls me one of the guys. Apparently, I'm hardly a girl. I am going to get him. Not cool, dude. Not cool at all.
What makes it worse is that Gary over here is too busy cracking up than at least backing me up. I get that their bros and all, but really? After all the shit I went through, I do not want to deal with this. I did the first thing that came to mind.
I went over to Gary and slapped him up side the head. Hard. So he'd finally stop laughing. Then I went over to Drew. He was still smirking. I started to somewhat talk, somewhat scream at him.
"Hardly, a girl am I? I'll show how 'hardly' of a girl I am." I grabbed his shirt and dragged his down towards my face. Due to the height difference, his eyes never left mine.
His green orbs read surprise and shock. I smirked inwardly. I keep pulling him into me, until we were a centimeter apart. I stopped right there and smirked. My eyes meet his again.
"Gotcha." I pushed his face away. Not giving him a second glance, I walked away and sat next to Gary on the couch. My smirk could rival Drew's usual one.
Gary was about to say something till I shot him a glare. He got the idea and put his hands up in fake surrender. He then decided it was best to just nestled back into his seat. Drew was still in shock and a bit confused of what just happened. A faint blush colored his cheeks.
On the outside I may have seemed confident and cocky, like someone we all know, but right now I was holding back a blush- And a big one at that. I mean, what girl wouldn't after pulling a stunt like that?
I was trying to keep a straight face with only a smirk placed at my lips, but I couldn't help but crack a small smile and hold back a laugh as I looked at Drew looking at me with huge eyes. Its actually quite funny to see him looking like this.
A smirk came to his lips. Oh no. Please tell me he did not just think of something to insult me with? Or even worse, embarrass me with a perv comment in front of another huge pervert. Arceus, please help me.
"Nice try July, but not good enough. Kissing you would have felt like kissing a log or something. Still doesn't prove you're anymore of a girl than I am."
I jumped off the couch and so did Gary, grabbing me by the arms. At this point, Drew would have been dead if Gary wasn't holding me back. Just barely as well. I kept sending death glares towards Drew while he kept smirking somewhat evilly to me. Watch out Hayden.
I heard my cell phone go off. I got out of Gary's grip and made my way to my fanny pack that I left downstairs last night. But without giving Drew one more 'evil eye' look.
"Hello?" I asked. Checking the caller ID was never my thing….
"Yo, May! How you been? Its Ash by the way."
"Oh, hey Ash! Could be worse, but its all good. So to what do I owe the honor of such an oh-so rare call from the soon to be Pokemon Master." I teased. But I wasn't lying. He was really close. He already won one of the Pokemon Leagues.
"Stop it, May. Well I called because I heard you're in LaRousse. I'm here too. Brings back memories don't it? Well apparently, everyone else is here too. I was wondering maybe you and Drew wanted to meet up tonight and just chill or something? For old times sake." I could imagine Ash ribbing the back of his head already. Why? I'll never know….
"Actually, Gary got to us first. We're totally going to be there."
"Great. So how's it going with you and Drew?" Now he's teasing me. He and everyone else in the world thinks I have feelings for him. I can't necessarily say that it's a lie since I don't know myself, but I rather have the whole world believe whatever they want than know the truth.
"Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing about Misty." Being around Drew so much over the years, I must've learned something.
"I'll see you tonight then." He said rather quickly and hung up on me before I could say anything. When it comes to him and Misty, he's a bit touchy, and hesitant. He totally likes her. She does too.
Maybe tonight, I'll play matchmaker. I smiled evilly as I thought of ways to get them together. Wouldn't be the first time. I mean, just look at how happy Leaf and Gary are. Dawn and Paul got together on their own.
I made my way back to the guys and settled into the seat next to Drew.
My tummy thought it be the best time to start complaining about lack of food. Drew and Gary both looked at me and smirked. I smiled sheepishly. "Well, I'm a bit hungry. How does Ihop sound to you guys?"
"Actually, I'd love to join you guys but I actually have to get going. I'll see you guys later though. And make sure there's no funny business, you hear me?" He smirked. I was too hungry to fight back so I let it slide for now. "But I'm sure Drew would be happy to take you. And don't forget that shopping date you have planned. Later guys." He was already at the door when he said bye. He turned around once and waved goodbye with a smirk. He opened the door and he was gone.
I turned to Drew. Our eyes met again. Bro, why does this keep happening and every time it does, something happens. Well almost happens. Then another thing happens and... Ugh it gets annoying. I turned away and tried to hold back the blush that was threatening to escape. After a long awkward silence he finally spoke.
"The maids informed me that your clothes are all washed and ironed. They're waiting for you in my room. Go change and we can head down to Ihop's, then the mall. Hurry up."
"Alright, I'll be back in 10 minutes."
I went up to his room and opened the door. I took my time getting ready. I'd usually only need about three minutes to change since I already showered and all that but I need to clear my head.
I looked at his room. It was simple and neat but it was nice. All the furniture, except his draws, was white. His dresser, table sides, computer desk and bed were coal black. The walls were painted black. But he had a lot of windows.
The curtains were pulled back exposing a lot of light into the room. His bed sheet was actually the pop of his room. The smidge of color. Two pillows were covered in white pillow cases. Two next two were covered in light green pillow cases. The three smaller pillows were all black. The comforter was a light green as well.
On the table sides, placed on either side of the bed, were white roses in vases. Its weird. Drew always gave me red, thorn less roses but he had white ones in his room. I went to the bed to place the clothes that I borrowed from Drew only to find, guess what? A single, red, thorn less rose with a note.
Wondering how this note got here? While you were talking to Ash -yes I heard you by the way- I sneaked up to my room and set it here where I knew you'd find it. I'm not all that good with comforting words, you know that, and because of that, I wrote you this note. Now onto the point, whatever happened last night, I want you to know I'm always there for you. You're my best friend. I don't like to see you like that. I'm not going to pressure you into talking, that's all up to you, but just know that I'm never too far away.
-With love and care, Drew.
P.S. The rose isn't for Beautyfly, it's for you. Don't get used to it.
When I finished I couldn't help but crack a smile. I knew he isn't good at this stuff. He grew up as a loner. Feelings aren't necessarily his forte. But here he is, trying to help me out. He's actually a pretty sweet guy if you get to know him. That's why he's my best friend.
I looked at the rose and twirled it in my hands. I giggled lightly and smelled it. I put the note in my fanny pack and gently placed the rose on the pillow I slept last night. Before I left, I searched for a piece of paper. When I found one, I wrote 'Thank you. This means more than the world to me. -With much love and care, May.'
After I placed it on his tableside table, I quickly made my way downstairs.
At LaRousse Mall
Drew was being a bit too nice. First at Ihop, Drew made no complaint or even insult about all the food I ordered. Second, I was going to pay, since he was taking me shopping and paying for whatever I bought and I didn't want to feel like I owe him, he beat me to it. I guess he paid when I went to the bathroom.
At first, I thought it was because he was being nice. Then the idea that it might be pity hit me. I didn't like it. If there's one thing I wouldn't accept from anyone its pity.
We were walking around and looking for another store to go check out. Poor Drew, I'm not going to lie, maybe I did buy a bit too much. I was only holding this one little bag in my hand while Drew was holding all the others which was about 10? He offered to carry the one I have but I refused. I didn't want him to see it.
"May?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we go have lunch or something." I stopped dead in my tracks. My eyes bugged out and I stared at Drew in shock. Isn't that my line? Or Ash's line? Sounds pretty weird having Drew complain.
"Who would've thought Mr. Cool would complain about being hungry," I teased.
"Please, after breakfast, I'm not all that hungry. I'm just tired of holding all your bags. I may be perfect, but I still get tired, you know." He smirked as I sighed and agreed.
"Fine, here let me put you out of some misery and carry some of those bags." I reached for some of the bags only to have them pulled back by him. "Haha, very funny. Just give me some of the bags. Honestly, I don't mind."
"What kind of date would I be if I let you carry the bags?" I blushed as he said date. He smirked.
"It's not a real date. Seriously Drew, you thought I wouldn't figure out this was a pity date? I'm much smarter than you give me credit for. Just give me some of the bags." By now, we were in front of a bench. I reached for the bags again, only to have them dumped on the near by bench. Before I could react, I felt someone's hands under my chin.
Drew. He forced me look at him. For once, he didn't look the cocky jerk I know. Seeing the softer side of Drew always brought butterflies to my stomach. But I hardly ever got to see the concerned Drew. It was driving my stomach insane.
"What made you think this is a pity date?" I could hear and see the hurt and concern in his voice and his eyes.
"After last night, I knew you'd try to make me feel better. Taking me shopping is one thing, but taking me to breakfast and paying, taking me shopping and acting like a decent guy, you didn't think I'd catch on?" I looked down at his lips. I didn't noticed how close they were to mine. I wanted to lean in and taste him. I had to restrain myself.
I looked back into his eyes. He moved a bit closer.
He whispered, "May. Whatever happened to you last night, I want you to know that this is not a pity date. I want to do this."
(Drew's P.O.V.)
She thinks this is a pity date. I could see the hurt in her eyes. It hurts me to see her so…broken. I don't know why.
As kids, I knew I felt something for her, but I always saw her with Ketchum. I thought they had thing. I buried the feelings deep instead me. Over the years, I didn't see her. I thought I was over her.
Then two years ago, she steps back into my life. I thought I was over her. Soledad said I wasn't. She said that I was just in denial. I didn't actually believe her.
Heck I dismissed that ridiculous thought into the back of my head, but lately, these feelings. I don't get them. And all of them are towards May. They make me feel like I'm ten again. Maybe I am starting to fall for May again. Maybe I never stopped…..
But one thing is for sure. This is no pity date. Whether it's a date at all, I'll leave it up to May.
"Drew," she said barely audible. Before I knew what I was doing, I was closing the space between us.
(May P.O.V.)
I could feel his breathe on my lips. I could almost taste him. My eyes fluttered down. He cupped my chin in his hands. My hands held his biceps.
"May. I think I know… I l-," he never got to finish his sentence.
"May? Is that you?"
Drew pulled away from me before whoever called me could see what we had been about to do.
(Misty P.O.V.)
Was that May? And Drew? Almost kissing? Hmm, interesting.
I need to talk to her about this later. I don't like Drew that much. He's a good guy and all but I rather not have him with May. He's a player. He'll break her heart. And isn't she with that Brandon guy? She was with him last week, last time we talked. I am so getting to the bottom of this.
I walked around to them. Well I was before May starting squealing along with Dawn –who was with me by the way- and tackled us in a hug. Leaf smiled brightly but didn't squeal. Two girls squealing is more than enough.
"May! Its great to see you!" Dawn nearly yelled.
May giggled. "Dawn! Same! I've missed you.
"Hey May. Its been a while." Leaf simply said with a hug and gentle smile.
She hugged her back. "You were always a bit formal Leaf. And it has been." She smiled at her.
She turned to me and said "Misty, I'm hurt. Here you are calling my name and yet you haven't even said hello to me."
I snorted. "Aw, May. I was getting to it but I went partially deaf due to your's and Dawn's squealing. But now that thats done and over with." I stepped closer to her and gave her a hug. "I saw you and grass head. We're going to talk about this later." I whispered into her ear so only she heard me.
She laughed nervously. By this time, Drew had already made his way over towards us.
"Hello ladies." He bowed and smirked. I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, I have an idea. You guys want to join us for lunch? You don't mind do you, Drew?"
"Course not. By any chance are the guys with you?" He asked. Heh, guess he doesn't really want to be stuck with a bunch of girls.
"Ash and Paul are in that store over there." I pointed towards 'Poke fitness.'
Four P.M at Drew's place.
(Drew's P.O.V.)
Thank god shopping is over. Right now I rather just sleep but the group in having dinner at some fancy restaurant, courtesy of Gary. Dinner's at six so right now I'm just going to take the opportunity and relax.
I closed my eyes. The events from today replayed in my head.
Did I really know how I felt for May?
What was Drew going to say? hmmm, well you'll find out... eventually.
Haha, well I'll try update soon. And if you guys are into EGOHSIPPING [drool] i suggest to check out my new story. (:
Well, before i forget, not that i would, REVIEW!
