Chapter 6: Car Thief Repellant
SORA'S POV
I love the morning; It's my favorite time of day. When the birds are singing, and everything is crisp and cool with the morning dew, it's so magical. Like something from a fairy tale. I really don't care for the nighttime, sure that's when everything happens, but it's all so fake. Man made brightly colored neon lights hum around the city chasing away shadows. They are beautiful, in their own way, but they aren't for me.
Mornings where the birds sing in harmony. Mornings where there is a faint breeze to blow the sweat from your brow. Mornings where the temperature is 10 degrees less than what it will be in the afternoon. These are my absolute favorites. Mornings like today. On these days I wake up just in time to watch the sun rise from my curled up position in a chair, out on my balcony.
That's where Cloud finds me when he comes to get me for work.
I look up as I hear the sliding door open and smile at my brother. He looks like he's just woken up for he wears just his blue boxers. Stifling a yawn he sits down beside me on the concrete, dangling his feet over the edge through the metal bars.
"I laid out some clothes for you in on your bed." He says after a while. "Mom and Dad left early this morning for business in London, they didn't say when they'd be back."
I nod my head to show I understand. Growing up in a rich family I was hardly able to bond correctly with my parents, being rich comes with a price. My price was the family time with my mom and dad. They own a restaurant chain; high class eating found all around the world, Paopu, name after the fruit only found in our region. Having so many restaurants they had to travel a lot so they were never really with me too much. They still aren't.
"You're up pretty early. Any reason?"
"Nah. You know how I am with sunrises."
Cloud chuckles, ruffling my hair. "You're something…Breakfast will be ready soon. Come on down when you're ready." He stands and takes a moment to look at the sun, only to go back inside.
Cloud's really had it tough. When I was born I was dumped on him while mom and dad traveled. He raised me. I guess that's where he turned so girly, having to 'play mother' for all those years really made him womanly. Scary. (Note to expecting mothers/any girl for that matter, don't dump the kid on your other son unless you want him to turn Gay, nine times out of time he will develop womanly 'mother' like qualities…or at least a hernia).
Casting an eye at the now risen sun I decide it's time to start my day. Standing I make my way inside, curious as to what Cloud will have me wear.
On my bed lies a pair of black baggy pants, a studded belt, and a dark blue short-sleeved turtleneck with light blue fire designs on the bottom. I take notice of how they match my eyes. Pulling all that on I happily skip downstairs to the kitchen.
Turning the corner at the foot of the stairs I take a deep breath expecting to smell pancakes, when I don't smell any cooking food I frown. Didn't Cloud say he'd have breakfast ready?
Finally reaching the kitchen I skid to a halt. Sitting calmly at the table is Cloud eating cereal. Cereal? I haven't eaten that in 3 years! Cloud always makes breakfast from scratch. HOLY FUCK! It's the end of the world.
"Fruity meat loops?" I say sitting down.
Cloud stuffs a spoonful in his mouth. "Iths gud." He picks up the multi-colored box and pours some into a bowl, I'm assuming is mine, adds some milk, pushes it in front of me, and tosses over a spoon.
"Any occasion for the cereal?"
He swallows. "No, I just didn't feel like making breakfast and being late for your first day at work."
I smile and eat my Fruity meat loops in contempt silence
After I finish Cloud speaks up. "Are you going to let me put some make up on you or do your hair?"
I freeze. Uh-oh. "If I refuse?"
"I'll tie you down." He says as calm as ever.
Great. It figures, if I don't do something willing, then it's always done unwilling.
"Whatever." And with that one word I bring upon myself an hour worth of pain and humiliation. He puts heavy eyeliner on my eyes (something about it makes my eyes stand out more), clear lip-gloss on my lips (to make my lips fuller and more luscious?), and finally he detangles the nest on top of my head I like to call my hair (Cloud calls his god --). When Cloud finally deems my appearance worthy he pushes me out the door and down the stairs.
"Get in the car, I'll be right there. I have to get ready too."
I roll my eyes and head for the car, sitting inside I recline the seat back and prepare for a nap, while Cloud takes an ungodly amount of time to get himself looking spectacular. I close my eyes and attempt to drift off, however, 10 minutes later I hear the drivers side door open. It can't be Cloud, It has to be a robber, there's no way he could shower and get dressed in 10 minutes. No fucking way!
Keeping my eyes closed, as to not alert the car thief, I reach down and grab my shoe. What if he has a gun? I don't think shoes will protect people against bullets! Then again, if I don't do something quick he might get the car started and drive away with me. Wouldn't that be fun?
I hear the engine start and the door closes.
Oh shit!
Counting to 3 in my head I lunge to my left and attack the robber with my shoe. My shoe may be small, but it can still be use as car thief repellant!
I hear him scream in surprise. Ha! It serves you right you car stealer; let this be the last car you ever steal. I hit him again and again, over and over.
"Sora! What the hell!"
I freeze, shoe in mid air…"Cloud?"
"Yes? Mind telling me why you attacked me with you shoe?"
I blush in embarrassment. "No reason." Wow…I feel like a total dumbass.
"So you just felt like pummeling me?"
"I thought you were a car thief."
Silence.
"Ha, ha, ha! Oh my god!" Cloud falls over the steering wheel in fits of laughter. I probably deserve to be laughed at.
"I didn't think it was you because you usually take longer to get ready." I say in all seriousness. I take it back; I don't deserve to be laughed at. It's your fault buddy. It's not my fault. You can't blame me.
Cloud calms down and looks at me seriously. "I'm not going to let you loose your job because I took an hour to get dressed, I'm not that insensitive. I just rinsed off."
My jaw drops. "You mean you took an hour to get me ready and you took 10 minutes, and still manage to look better than me?"
He smirks. "Thanks for the compliment." His smile fades "But really, I want you to look good on your first day of work." He starts to pull out of the garage.
"You know, I've never worn makeup before," I say starring out the window "or these kind of clothes."
Heh. Come to think of it, a lot of the things I've been doing are new to me. I guess trying new things is good for me. I can almost see a little Cloud angel and evil on my shoulder saying, 'as long as it doesn't involve Riku'.
That may be true. After what Cloud said, I really don't know what to think about Riku anymore. I had no idea. Cloud has dated a lot of men, but I guess Riku had been special. How the hell did I miss Riku dating my brother? I can remember him being so happy, now that I think about it, the reason I didn't connect the dots was because Riku had been Cloud's Ri-Ri, and so I had never heard him say his real name.
One night Cloud came home crying. Mom tried to comfort him but he wouldn't talk (most likely because he didn't want her to know he was gay), he only wanted to talk to me. He didn't give any names, but he told me that he'd trusted and, to a degree, loved Riku…after that I couldn't understand his tear-filled blabbering.
That was fine, I didn't want to know the rest. All I needed to know was that someone had hurt Cloud, and that made me angry. Now I know that someone…was Riku.
I remember thinking to myself that if I ever met the person who hurt my brother; I would try my hardest to make him suffer the way Cloud had suffered (or at least run him over with a bulldozer).
Now that I've met that person ('that person' being Riku), I don't really know what to do. I mean when I promised myself to inflict pain and suffering on Riku, I didn't actually think I would meet him in person, or that he'd be so hot.
I mean, how hard would it be? Is Riku so oblivious that he would see through the act of Sora Harada, the boy who is still a virgin weakling? Surely my acting is horrible…is it?
"Cloud?"
"Hm." He replies never taking his eyes off the road.
"Can I ask you something about Riku?"
Cloud frowns, gripping the steering wheel tighter. "Sora…you promised me to not involve yourself with him."
"I know…but I'm not going to get romantic in the head around him! I just want re-"
The car rolls to a stop at a red light. Cloud turns and looks at me odd. "You want what?"
"Nothing!" I blurt.
"Sora." He warns. He seems rather irritated by me.
"Fine." I pause to gather my thoughts and weigh the consequences of what I'm about to say. "I want revenge." There. I said it. So now the whole world knows my secret agenda…everyone except Riku.
Cloud cocks his head to the side in bewilderment. From my words, or the fact that little precious Sora is plotting revenge against someone, I cannot tell you. "For what?" He finally says.
I break eye contact and downcast my eyes. "For you." I mutter.
He's silent for a moment, then, "Oh Sora. Don't worry about me. I'm fine now. It's in the past." The light turns green and Cloud hits the gas.
FUCK NO! Me holding your broken body as you cried on my shoulder isn't in the past! How dare you say that! Not a day passed that I didn't wonder who had made you cry so much. "It's not something I can just left undone. I have to do this. I promised myself I would. Please Cloud. Help me?"
By Fuckin George he can't say no to me! I put on the puppy dogface to break him. He sighs rolling his eyes, which causes the car to swerve enough to almost hit a lamppost.
"Fine. What do you want to know?"
I smile. "Everything. What turns him on, what turns him off. What he likes and dislikes. What he wants in a lover…"I sit up straight in my chair, and in a low voice finish, "…and what makes him suffer."
"All that?" Cloud wines.
"All that."
"Fine. Now…" he trails off as I smile at him happily, "…where do I start…"
I'll pick you up at 2 okay?" Cloud shouts from out the window. I nod in response.
Work starts at 8, though I'm early to help open up. I get a lunch break sometime between 8 and 2. The great thing is I get Weekends off because Leon thinks it's a waste not to go clubbing Friday and Saturday nights (resulting in hangovers hat aren't to good for business), so he just shuts the place down.
I turn from Clouds car to the back door of Hot Topic. I just hope Riku's here today. I gulp, a little on the nervous side…here goes nothing.
Walking through the back door I am overcome with the sudden feeling of being watched. Little Goosebumps form on the back of my neck, causing me to check behind me, all I can see is the door. Still, it feels like I'm being watched.
Turning back around I proceed down the hallway. I pass Leon's office and the supply closet…again the feeling intensifies…I stop dead in my tracks. Something's here.
"Heh…he-hello?" I say aloud. In response I hear heavy breathing. My eyes widen. There is something here. Oh shit!
"W-who's there?" I hear the breathing move above me. Oh no…it's like a psycho Alien horror movie in real life. You know, where the astronaut is walking in a dark hallway with only his flashlight on and stops just as slime falls on him…then like a dumbass, he looks up only to be eaten by the alien.
Closing my eyes tight and bravely counting to three I tilt my head up and risk a peak. Above me is a girl.
I blink.
She smile's evilly.
Oh shit.
She let's go of the wall she climbed (think of the Tyson Chicken commercial where the kid climbs the wall during hide and seek) and falls down towards me.
"Wee! Catch me!"
So, not wanting to be impolite by not listening or maybe I just don't want to get smashed in the face by a falling female, either way I catch her.
Surprisingly enough she isn't all that heavy and she lands in my arms with a small 'hmph'.
She smiles at me innocently as I stare at her like she's insane. "Put me down." She orders. Setting her down she immediately begins to circle me like a hawk. Is there something wrong (aside from her)?
"Uh…"The small sound I make attracts her attention, for she moves back to in front of me.
Three words people. This girl's craazy.
"Are you Sora?"
I nod slowly. She squeals excitedly and jumps up and down.
"Is that a problem?" I'm very, very confused.
"Oh." She stops and backs off. "I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself, I'm Selphie." She extends her hand in a friendly gesture. I take the hand and shake it, still very confused.
"Okay Selphie. It's uh…nice to meet you."
"Ohhh! Pleasures all mine!"
"Selphie!" I hear Vincent call. "Where are you?"
"We're over here!" I call back. The sound of feet is heard as Vincent, Reno, and an angry looking Leon come trudging down the hallway.
Selphie jumps behind me in a bad attempt to use me as a human shield. "Oh!" She huffs. "You shouldn't have done that! What ever they say, I didn't do it!"
"Selphie!" Leon barks as he draws nearer. "For the last time, Leave!"
I swear I can see flames behind Leon…someone didn't get any coffee this morning, or sex…I'd be happy to help him, Leon's a sexy leather beast…
…What? Come on, I'm not that innocent…Bah…whatever.
Selphie grips at my tight shirt (making it even tighter) and whines, "Leon. You're such a jerk. I only came in early because Reno told me there was a new kid starting work."
Leon gives Reno a scolding glance; in return Reno shrugs his shoulders. "How was I supposed to know she'd come?"
Leon sighs. "I don't know why I bother." He looks at Selphie. "Look, your shift doesn't start till after Sora leaves…now scram before I call mall security."
"Pht, Touch-ee. I'm gone, I'm gone." She backs up to the door with her hands held up. "I'm obviously not wanted."
And just like that…satin girl is gone. It's a miracle Halilujhia! (1)
After the door closes we all stand in silence. Awkward? Very.
"So…" Leon starts. "Sora, since today is your first day, I'll have either Reno or Vincent here show you around and introduce you to Yuffie."
"Aw!" Reno whines almost immediately. "But you know Tuesdays are my try to molest Vincent days!"
"So are Mondays and Wednesdays, and Thurs-." Vincent starts.
"Aw shut up…you know I want in your pants."
"How flattering…" Vincent says sarcastically.
As the two musketeers quarrel I look at Leon who is busy staring at his rings. This must be normal. "Uh…Leon?"
"Hm?" He asks looking up, seemingly interested.
"Why can't Riku show me around?"
At this Reno looks up from giving Vincent a nuggie, which intern causes Vincent to stop and look as well. Leon blinks a few times before he takes a hold of my arm and leads me to his office. Unlocking the door he goes on in with me in tow. As soon as the door is closed Leon turns. "You really want Cloud to hurt me don't you?"
"No!" I shake my head frantically. "Cloud already told me I could."
Leon looks at me with doubt. "I can hardly believe that. Just the other day he was chewing me out about letting you two close to one another."
"I'm serious! Look! I can prove it." I reach into my pants pocket and pull out my red razor phone. Flipping it open I hit the I.C.E. button (2) and hold the phone to my ear.
The phone dials and soon it begins to ring. A little while later Clouds voice comes on.
"Sora? Are you okay? What's wrong?"
I laugh a bit. "Nothings wrong Cloud, I'm just with Leon and he doesn't believe that you're okay with me hanging out with Riku."
He's quiet for a bit.
"Cloud? Are you there?"
"Why the hell not!" I have to hold the phone away from my ear as to not loose hearing.
"Uh…I guess he's just looking out for me, that's all."
I can hear Cloud take a deep breath. "Well, tell him it's okay."
I cover the mic of the phone with my hand and look at Leon. " He says it's fine."
"How do I know it's him?"
I uncover the phone. "Cloud?"
"Yea, I'm here."
"He wants to know how he can tell it's you?"
I hear some shuffling in the background and then some slurping from a straw. "Cloud! Are you eating?" Bloody Fuck it's only eight something in the morning, and we just ate cereal like 30 minutes ago, He can't be eating!
"Yep, Burger King©."
My mouth drops. "You pig! We just ate at home! I swear you have a hollow leg to store everything in."
"…What-eva." He says with his mouthful.
Leon clears his throat gaining my attention. Oh yeah! "Cloud? How will he know?"
"Know what?"
"It's you!" I practically scream. I huff and lean back against the door.
"Oh! Right, right um…" He pauses to think. "Tell him that the first time we did it, it was on our kitchen counter and he was wearing smiley faced boxers."
My eyes widen. "Our kitchen! Ew! People eat off of that you know…wait where was I?"
"Asleep."
I smile a bit. "Damn." Looking up at Leon I say, "he says the first time you two ever had sex it as in my kitchen and you had on smiley faced underpants."
His eyes bulge out of their sockets. Lunging forward he grabs my phone and puts it to his ear. I gladly let him go as I sneak out the door to find Riku. I leave my phone behind; I can always find him later.
"Cloud?" I hear Leon say as the door closes behind me. Turning I come face to face with Reno.
"Uh." I look at Vincent behind him then back to Reno. "Yes?"
"Was he really wearing smiley faced boxers?"
I look at him with distaste. Come on, get a life, listening in on other peoples conversations is sooo old. I look to Vincent for help. Please get him out of my face!
"Don't look at me!" The calm Vincent says. "I'm just here to make sure he doesn't kill anyone."
Rolling my eyes at the two I push past Reno and make my way to the front of the store. Pushing open the door I notice Leon's sexy picture…damn, he looks mighty fine! I let the door swing shut behind me and scan the rather large store for Riku.
I spot silver over in what appears to be the Invader Zim action figure section, however, upon closer inspection the silver that I thought was Riku's hair was really an Emo kids shirt covered in safety pins…okay. Obviously not Riku. As if sensing my eyes on him, Emo kid turns and looks at me. I smile and wave at him hoping he doesn't think I'm a stalker. He gives me a weird look but smiles in return…awwwww…Emo kid has a new friend!
After a few more failed attempts to find him I see him walk behind the cash register and plop himself down on a stool…he looks like a kid who didn't get a Toy in his Happy Meal (could that toy be my?). Poor baby, let's go cheer him up!
I tip toe softly over to the hat section and don a giant Pirate hat (3). Arrh! Walking up to the register I slap the tabletop hard effectively waking Riku up from his mopey state. Making sure to hide my face under the big assed brim, I wait. He'll never guess it's me!
"Uh…can I…help you?" He doesn't sound too sure of himself does he? Maybe, just maybe, could it be the deranged kid in front of him with a giant pirate hat…but I could be wrong.
"Arrh! Me wants the booty." I say in my best pirate voice.
"Mr. Why rob us? There's a bank 2 shops down, they're probably loaded." He states dryly, "please leave before I call the cops."
Oh crap! He must think I want to rob him!
"Riku! It's me!" I take the giant hat off and flail my arms about for show…or maybe I'm part bird. Na…defiantly want his attention. "Don't call the cops! Please!"
"Sora?" He looks bewildered. After he blinks a couple times he bursts into laughter.
It wasn't that funny.
"Calm down, calm down." I pat his shoulder, which is hunched over the counter. That's right…laugh while you still can.
"That was hilarious!" He takes a few deep breaths and is back to normal. He clears his throat. "Sorry…so…what do you want?"
Time to whip out the oblivious face. "Leon didn't tell you?"
"Yea…he told me not to go near you." He says matter of factly. "Is there something I'm missing?"
"Uh.." I laugh a bit, "yea, there is. Cloud called and okayed everything with Leon…sooooooo, today you're teaching me the ropes!" I smile and tilt my head to the side…aw…aren't I cute?
Riku blinks a bit. "So wait…I can molest you know?"
I smile and shake my head. I can say without any doubt what so ever that I saw that one coming. "No…I can still tell on you." I bite my lower lip seductively…on purpose of course. It must have some affect on Riku because he shifts uncomfortably. "If I want to that is."
There is awkward silence between the two of us, I stare at him and he stares at me…okay, this is weird.
"Uh…can I buy this?" A low voice says from behind me. I turn only to find the Emo kid from before. I'm surprised to find that he's looking at me expectantly instead of Riku. What? Does he want me to ring him up? "Uh…" I look to Riku for help.
"Here." Riku smiles and extends his hand. The Emo kid looks him over, I'm assuming he thinks Riku's going to try something.
He frowns. "Why not him?" He asks motioning to me. Okay, just because I smiled at you, doesn't mean I'm your new best friend…so please stop being so happy to see me!
I laugh nervously and back away with my hands up. "I'm new here, I'd probably end up breaking the cash register. Satisfied with my answer he hands over his Invader Zim 'How to destroy the human race' book…this kid must have issues. (4)
Riku rings him up and waits for the money. After all is said and done the Emo kid leaves, once again we are alone. "So are you ready to learn how to use the cash register?"
"Do I have a choice?" It's not that I don't want to learn, it's just toooooo hard!
"Not really…here this is yours." I look at what he's handing me. It's a nametag for around my neck…cooooool! At the top it says Hot Topic and under it there's my name…Do I feel special? I smile and lower my head so he can put it on me. After I feel it resting against my neck I smile at him. "Welcome to the team."
"So how about teaching me how to use a cash register?"
After four explanations, thirteen tries, and 3 customers I am cash register literate…yay me! "Well, if you're good here, I'm gonna go see if there's anything that needs to be shelved in the back room, I'll be right back." Riku slides off his stool and jumps over the counter. Before I can blink he's gone through the back door and is on his way to the storage room.
Looking around the huge store I can't help but freak out just a bit. No one else is here. I'm all alone, save for the person standing in front of me tapping her foot impatiently. "Heh…Uh…" I rub the back of my head. "…Yes?"
Her glare intensifies. "I want to buy that."
Glancing down at what 'that' is I smile nervously and pick the T-shirt up. Swiping it I hit a few numbers and then look at her with relief…there I did it…no big deal, nothing bad happened. Go me! "Your total is 53.24."
She takes out her Visa card and holds it out for me. I freeze. Uh-oh…Riku didn't explain to me how to use credit cards. Shit! Riku where are you? Please hurry!
"Uh…heh…you see I-"
"What? You're retarded? Just take my money and let me leave. People can be so rude. All I want is a shirt, is that a problem?"
Rude? Rude! RUDE! Lady, you're the one being rude! "Look, I'm sorry if I'm being…retarded…but I'm new here and I don't really know how to pay with cred-"
"I don't care if you're new!" She points her finger at me accusingly. "Just do it!"
I back away from the finger…don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me! I want to live! How can people be so rude? Is it something I said?
"I don't know why you're being so mean to me, but could you just settle down until Ri-"
"Mean? Ha! I hate people like you…you fag! Just ring me up and I'll leave…that's all I want okay?"
How can she say that? She's only known me for a minute and already she's accusing me of being gay. That's…that's…I feel a warmth burning behind my eyes. Sitting down on the stool I try to calm myself before I cry in front of her.
"Aw…what's the matter? Fag gonna cry?" She laughs as if what she's just said is funny.
"You there!" A female voice rings from above…it must be God's wife! "Stop picking on him! You out to be ashamed of yourself…degrading people lower than you…it's not right…now, he asked you to leave him be until some one who knows what they're doing can get there, so please wait patiently or I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."
The girl looks shocked. She nods her head slowly and looks straight at me with wide eyes…obviously she knows where the voice is coming from and is trying to behave…I on the other hand am thoroughly confused. But seeing as I don't want her to accuse me of being gay again I keep my mouth shut.
"Riku." God's wife says. "Get your lazy ass out there…new kid needs your help."
As if by magic (or a Godly power?) the employee only door opens and out stumbles Riku with a box of leather clothes in hand. He drops them in front of the door and jumps (once again) over the Counter. Putting on his business face he gives the girl a charming smile, to which she swoons…ha, she claims to be disgusted with gays, can't she see that Riku is a bigger fag than I am? I mean, common…who makes out with guys on couches and calls himself straight?
"What seems to be the problem?"
"Oh." She smiles dreamily. "There's no problem now…"
"Riiiight…okay then, I'll just take the card." He takes her credit card and swipes it, hitting a few buttons. After a bit a piece of paper prints and he has her sign it…goody, something more for me to learn.
"There you go miss, have a nice day." And just like that the homophobe leaves…FINALLY!
Once Riku is sure she's out of hearing range he turns to me. "What happened?"
I look down embarrassed. "It's not that big of a deal, you see she-"
"Like hell it wasn't a big deal! She was making fun of your sexuality! I would have punched her in the face…blah blah blah blah…"
I tune God's wife's voice out, the rest of her rant going unheard. "Who is that?"
Riku smiles leaning back against the counter. "That, my friend, is Yuffie…she watches everything that happens in this store...as you've heard she is also in charge of the loud speaker."
Somehow, the way he said her name leads me to believe that this 'Yuffie' girl is just like this mornings 'Selphie'…only worse?
(1) This is something my friend Libby said a while back…it was so funny. I had covered my eye with a giant Band aid I got from the nurses office at school (went there to get out of class...heh) so it looked like I'd hurt myself or something, that wasn't the case, I just felt like being stupid. So anyway I went to Libby's house after school since she lives like across the street…but anyway, her dad saw me and he was like 'Oh my god, what happened to your eye'. I told him my eye exploded…he was like 'are you serious!'…I really think he believed me; I was like 'Yea, wanna see?'…He looked like he was going to scream, but I took it off and Libby jumped up and screamed It's a miracle Hallelujah! We laughed sooo hard, then when her sister got back from middle school we did it again.
(2) For those of you who are challenged…ICE means In Case of Emergency.
(3) Not entirely sure Hot Topic actually carries Pirate Hats in stock…who knows, but for now it will for the sake of my story.
(4) I have nothing against Emo people, if you're Emo…great for you there's an Emo kid in this story just for you!
Well, aside from the two dedications I mentioned in the opening authors note I would like to give big thanx to candles, ice cubes, cherry 7 up, and sour cherry air heads…this really helped the chapter move quite nicely…that and the fact that I was drunk throughout half of this…….and I didn't want to wear a top (normal women don't do that for obvious reasons…but hey, who ever said I was 'normal'?)…yea, not good…okay….I'm thinking about
