You Keep my Heart Shining

Chapter 4

"Wouldn't your mom be mad if you spent all this money?" Xion asks.

"Nah, since we've got a lot, I don't think she'll mind." I replied and yawned.

"I can't resist to say this, but you are so cute when you're tired." Xemnas said with a smile.

My eyes widened. I punched him lightly in the shoulder. "Is your brain broken?"

He kissed me. I kissed back and then he pulled away. "No, I've got a heart now. You're all mine."

Demyx stuck his tongue out in disgust. "It's so weird to see Xemmy like this. Ever since he got a heart, he's been so lovey-dovey."

"That's because he gots a girlfriend." I replied with a grin. "Don't worry Dem, you'll find your girl someday."

"Actually……I kinda like Abi. She's like me."

"Well, talk to her then. I'll give you a few pointers later." I say.

"Okay."

"What time are we meeting your friends for lunch?" Xion asks.

I glanced at my watch. "Hmm, at 1. It's 12:15 right now, so we've gots plenty of time."

"Hey, when do you go back to school?" Demyx asks.

"The 7th of January. We've got at least two weeks off for Spring Break and Christmas Eve is only five days away. My parents are off for the next 6 days to buy presents and all that." I yawned once again and rubbed my eyes.

"Why are you so tired?" Xigbar asks.

I shrugged. "Haven't gotten much sleep lately."

We paid for the clothes and walked down the mall.

Meanwhile, with Stormy……

"Oh-no……" Stormy groaned.

"What?" Abi asks. Stormy pointed and she looked. "Oh shit, oh-no is right."

"Shell is so gonna go ballistic when she sees him."

About 30 minutes later, everyone met at the lunch area and we had to put tables together for all of us to sit together.

I was looked around when I spotted Jordan and his new girlfriend. My eyes narrowed.

"Don't even think about it Shell." Keely says.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" I ask.

"I can tell by that look on your face."

"Yeah. Your eyes narrow and you have this evil look on your face." Elizabeth says.

I was ignoring Elizabeth and was concentrating on both Jordan's and his girlfriend's drink. They rose over their heads and I poured them over, making the drinks soak them.

Stormy and some of the others snickered. "At least you didn't punch him or something." Michael says, taking a sip of his drink.

"Oh, he'll get what's coming to him." I mutter and let my head hit the table. "So tired……."

"I think your boyfriend is right, maybe you do need a nap." Chrissie says. I throw a French fry at her.

"Shut up." I mutter.

…………………….

We finally got back to my house, but Xemmy lifted me over his shoulder. "Hey, what the hell man?!!"

"You are going to take a nap."

"Fuck that!! You can't make me!!" I yelled, struggling to get out of his grip.

"Resistance is futile." He said as we reached the stairs.

Stormy and my other friends smiled and waved. "Night Shell." She said.

"I swear somebody is gonna get their ass kicked…." I muttered as we reached my room.

"Relax." He said opening the door and closing it and then setting me on the bed.

I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him. "What makes you think you're gonna make me take a nap?"

He smiled deviously and slowly walked towards me, hands out in front of him. My eyes widened and I scooted away. "I know what you're thinking and don't even do it!! I'm too tired for that shit!!"

"You aren't getting away Shell." He said and lunged at me. I let out a shriek as he began to tickle my sides.

Downstairs, the others were going through the clothes when they heard me shriek. "I wonder why she shrieked." Michael wondered.

"Maybe he's going to seduce her." Axel grinned. Xion hit him upside the head.

"Idiot." She muttered.

Back in my room, I was panting from a long tickle attack. "Fine, if it'll make you happy. I'll take a nap." I grumbled and crawled under the covers. I WAS very tired.

I felt him crawl under the covers with me and wrap both arms around my waist. "Why haven't you been getting sleep? The average person needs at least 8 hours of sleep."

I rolled my eyes and turned to face him. I flicked him in the forehead. "Idiot, you know why."

"No, I don't."

Jesus fucking Christ, is he that dense? I thought. "I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking of you."

He pulled me closer to him. "I'd figured that was why."

I yawned. "I couldn't even play my game without thinking of you….it made me cry every time…."

"Shhh, just go to sleep."

My eyes slipped closed and what'dya know, I fell asleep.

…………………………….

When I woke up, it was almost 6:30 and I felt much better. I yawned, which caused Xemnas to stir and open his eyes. "Good evening. How do you feel?"

"Better, to tell the truth. I guess a nap did help." I replied.

He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Good." He got out of bed and started towards my bathroom.

"Uh, where are you going?" I ask, sitting up.

"Taking a shower." He replied and went into my bathroom and closed the door.

I rolled my eyes and threw the covers off me. I turned my light on and grabbed my backpack, opening it and taking my homework out. I had at least 40 problems of math homework. Yeah, our teacher sucked.

After about six minutes, I was stuck on a question. And another four minutes passed and I still didn't figure it out. "Goddamnit!!! I fucking hate math!!!" I yelled and almost threw my math book across the room.

"What's the problem?"

I looked over my shoulder to see him standing there with only a pair of black pants I had bought him. "I can't figure out this math problem." I replied.

He sat beside me on the bed. "Oh, that's easy. The answer is X to the second, y to the fourth and Z to the 3rd."

I gaped at him. "How the fuck did you know that?!!"

He put two fingers to my lips. "You shouldn't curse so much and I knew because I'm smart." He took his fingers away.

I scoffed. "More like a fucking genius."

He gently grabbed my chin and kissed me. "You curse too much." He said against my lips.

I grinned. "It's a habit." And I kissed him back, putting both of my arms around his neck. His other hand sneaked its way under my shirt, but stayed on my side. He licked my bottom lip and I gave him entrance. He then pulled away and grinned. "You're so goddamn convincing." I said, laughing a little. "I'm really lucky to have a boyfriend like you."

"And I'm lucky I've found someone like you." He poked my nose.

"At least you're not perverted like Xigbar."

"Hmm, maybe I am."

I punched him lightly in the gut. "Yeah well, who cares?"

"Evidently, no one."
