"Namine you have to come of that bathroom eventually!"

"Not if I don't want to go to the movies!"

"You invited him and now you're trying to ditch him? Um, I don't think so. Namine Sato do not make me break down this door! You know I have a black belt in karate and I will-," I threw the door open.

"Now was that so hard? And look at you, you're absolutely gorgeous in that!" she had dressed me in blue acid wash skinny jeans and a light pink shirt dress.

"Oh Kai," I felt my face grow slightly hot. Kairi popped into the bathroom with her outfit and threw it on.

"Do you think Sora would like this?" she waltzed out, her gorgeous self, in a black mini skirt with a pink button-down sweater and white lace tank top underneath.

"You look absolutely stunning! Doubt he'll be able to keep his hands off of you! But please try and keep the making out to a minimum. I want to watch the movie without the smacking lip noises thank you."

"Okay, okay!"

Chapter Seven
Double Dates
…Or Double Trouble?

When going on double date there's always the possibility that it can go well or it can end up a bit of an awkward situation.

If you're going with someone who hasn't been going out for long, this is the best way to double date. They are very unlikely to go off into their own world of tongue wrestling and want hang out with you. Bad thing is it seems more awkward because well no one really knows anyone that well.

If your dating a couple who's been going out for a while, it's not always the best ideas but it's not that bad. They won't make it as awkward and they will give you space to get to know the other person. The bad thing is the whole randomly making out... that is what makes it seem weird.

So whether your going on a double date with people who have been dating for a while or someone who's also just getting to know their partner, its always a great way to get to know your date.

I started texting some friends while I waited for Kairi to fix her make-up. Which would only take at least four hours. A knock on the door made me go flying off the purple egg chair I was sitting on. I crawled to the door before dusting myself off and answering it. Sora stood there with a bouquet of a dozen lavender roses tied with a single white bow. Roxas stood behind him holding a large grocery bag of who-knows-what.

"Uh, hi Nami is Kairi ready?" he nervously searched the room with his eyes.

"No she's still getting ready still. Come on in and sit," I pointed to the purple love seat and he walked to sit down.

"Hello Nami-nerd," he smirked and I just about died inside. He looked like a million bucks in a white button-down dress shirt that wasn't quite buttoned all the way, slightly exposing the muscles underneath. His jeans fit his frame perfectly and his spiky blond hair was more messy then usual.

"Yeah hi Rox-ass, what's with the bag?"

"Oh just a truce present for this evening. Sora was so excited, I thought it's be nice to not spoil his evening with our fighting," he opened the bag and handed me a pretty big pan. I opened it up to see at least a dozen chocolate chip cannolis.

"Wow that's a lot of cannolis," I pulled one out and took a bite... let's just say it was heaven in a bite, "OH MY GOSH! Now I know why you gave me so many, thank you!"

"Ha and that's not all," he chuckled and reached into his bag and pulled out a small, covered canvas.

"What? Is it a portrait of a cannolis?" he pulled off the sheet and it was a pop art portrait of a blond girl with a pink background, "It that...?"

"It's some fat chick I know who was reading about Andy Warhol and said she loved his art. So I thought I'd make a pop art portrait of her," I glared at him but only to look back at the picture. I was staring into my eyes that were neon blue and my hair was bright yellow against my pale white skin. It was a comic character version of me, and I loved it.

"You made this... for me?"

"Yeah," he smirked and for a second I saw the genuine look of sweetness in his eyes.

"Um, thanks."

"Wow you're literate. I thought you were a super geek or something Nami-nerd," I rolled my eyes and Kairi cam out spinning.

"Oh! Hi Roxas... Sora," she walked to him and he shot off the loveseat.

"These are for you..." he handed her the flowers, "I hope you like them."

"I love them, thank you!" she handed the flowers to me and I went and put them in a vase.

"I thought you deserved them for being, well, amazing to me," she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. More passionately then I had ever seen in movies or on TV, it was true love between them. Roxas had to ruin the moment by coughing.

"Sorry to break up the love fest but our movie starts in twenty," he pointed to the door, "Let's roll."

-&-

We got in line to buy our tickets and it seemed to be starting out pretty well. Roxas hadn't said a word to me the whole ride to the movie theatre. We were going to see Jennifer's Body or something. Roxas dragged me to the candy counter and bought an obscenely large tub of popcorn and put enough salt on it to make a snail cringe.

"Oh let's sit here," he and Sora sat next to each other and put the popcorn between them. I knew that that popcorn would not last longer then a half hour into the movie. Already Sora was stuffing handfuls of popcorn into his mouth and Kairi was just staring at him with an entranced look in her eyes. The movie began and I swear most of the popcorn was gone before the lights went down. Most of the movie seemed to going just fine, Roxas ignored me and I ignored him. Midway through the movie he slumped to my level and started talking to me.

"So Megan Fox is a demon... and she's hot as hell... which is where she's from," he chuckled quietly.

"Shut up," I didn't even look in his direction.

"Oh come on you must admit that girl is gorgeous, even if she is eating men."

"Oh please, she's pretty."

"She's hot and you know it."

"You are such a block head shut up!"

"Why must you be so uptight?" he stuck his hand in the bucket of popcorn and whipped some popcorn at me.

"What the hell was that for!?"

"Being so uptight," he grabbed more popcorn and threw it at me.

"And that?"

"Because I knew it'd piss you off," he chuckled and grabbed more, instead tossing it in his mouth.

"You are such a douche!"

"And...?" he smirked and threw popcorn in my face.

"Grrr..." I grabbed the handful of popcorn sitting in my lap and threw it at him.

"Gosh golly is Namine going to hurt lil' ol' me?" he threw more popcorn at me.

"Ugh shut the hell up," by this time someone was tapping me on the shoulder.

"Ma'am, sir?" a scrawny looking kid with a cracking voice got our attention, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave for disturbing the peace," we both searched around to see who was complaining. Sora and Kairi were making out so they didn't even notice what was going on.

"Um, I don't have a clue what you are talking about," Roxas smoothly said.

"Well I'm sorry but we need you to leave willingly or I will call security."

"Geez, fine we'll leave. Namine come on," he grabbed my hand and dragged me up the aisle. I was thankful that the dark was covering up my flushing face.

We got to the car before he realized he was still holding my hand. I wiped it off on my jeans.

"Hey! You act like I have cooties or something."

"I don't know what you got from all of those fan girls," I leaned against the hood of his sleek black car.

"Hey! I don't appreciate that at all! Those girls really do care about me!"

"Oh yeah, all of those sluts including the Gull Wings are saints in mini skirts!"

"Shut up. If it wasn't for them no one would know me I'd be a nobody."

"What's so bad about that? It's not all that awful just blending in!" I whipped my body around to face him.

"I don't know, I guess being a loser is not my thing!"

"You know what Roxass, let's just go back to the academy. I'll text Kai and tell her to get a cab or something."

"Smartest thing I've heard you say all frickin' day!" he slid into the driver's seat and I slid into the passenger side.

He started the engine and peeled out of the parking lot. The ride was silent for about three minutes and you could feel the chilly demeanor coming from the both of us. I reached for his stereo and he batted my hand away.

"Haven't you ever just listened to the silence?"

"You can't listen to what isn't there."

"That's what you think... You know all you smart asses think the same. There is beauty in silence, ya know?"

"Not really," I crossed my arms and glared at him, "I'm not a smart ass, you're just a dumb ass"

"Ugh, you are so thick. When you search for beauty it won't appear in it's best form. When you sit and silence and allow it to come to you; ideas and such. I think of some of my best recipes when I'm driving in silence."

"Yeah what is this cooking thing about?"

"Well, my mom loved cooking when I was younger which explains Sora's appetite," he laughed in his deep bass voice, "I got the love of cooking the food he loved to eat."

"Oh that's amazing."

"Yeah, which reminds me I'm hungry- detour," he turned the car into a sharp u-turn, "You're gonna love this place, the food is amazing."

-&-

"Here we are," he pulled into the parking lot of a tiny Italian restaurant. He got out of the car and waited for me before he walked to the back of the tiny place because it seemed closed.

"Well sadly it looks quite closed."

"That's where you, thunder thighs, are very wrong."

"What...?"

"Well I spend a lot of time here. When school is not consuming my life, I'm here."

"Close with the owners I suppose?"

"Uh well you could say that," he unlocked the back door and we walked in. He searched for some light and turned on the light of a long white hall that led to two white double doors, "This way."

"What other way is there to go?"

"Just come on!"

"Okay, okay!" we went threw the doors and he turned the lights on and revealed a cleaned kitchen, "What are we doing back here?"

"You wanna see my prized possessions?" I nodded and he went to the refrigerator and pulled out two large mixing bowls.

"What might that be?"

"The worlds best shrimp fettucini alfredo you'll ever taste... Wait, no shellfish allergy right?" I shook my head, "Good, or you'd be missing out on heaven in your mouth."

"Okay," it felt weird to be in his domain. This is the real Roxas, the one no one ever gets to see. His hands were flying with the food adding seasoning and reheating the green noodles. When he was finished he handed me a plate of delish smelling noodles.

"Bon appetite!" the first bite was heaven in my mouth.

"I can't believe you made this!"

"How is it so unbelievable? I am amazing, aren't I?" he smirked and shoved another forkful into his mouth.

"You are so full of yourself!" this was the exact reason why I wanted to crush him. I wanted to smack the smug look off his face and make him feel all the pain he caused me when I was younger. But... there was something about him that seemed extremely charming.

"You know, I think about all the stuff I did to you when we were younger. It was hilarious," he giggled and his voice cracked slightly.

"What? You put me through so much crap! You nearly broke my arm!"

"Yeah that's when I chilled out with that stuff."

"Wow you are incredible!"

"I know," he grabbed my dishes and started cleaning up the kitchen.

"Ugh," I stomped my foot.

"Ha girls actually do that? Or is it just you?" he finished cleaning up the rest of kitchen

"I'll go wait in the car if you have anymore cleaning to do," I turned and began to walk through the double doors. I felt his and grab my wrist and he whipped my body around. Our bodies were very close to each other. His face was so close to mine, I could feel his breath on my face. Our lips touched and it seemed as though time had stopped. My heart jumped and my head was in a whirl. It ended too fast and we leaped away from each other.

"I guess we should... uh go pick up Kairi and... uh Sora since the movie must be over by now."

"Yeah uh... I'll sit in the back."

"Um, okay... you do that," I began to walk and he followed and turned off the lights. I sat in the back of the car and he put on the stereo and let the music blare out of the open windows. I stared intently out the window trying to get all of my thoughts in order.

Did that really just happen? Should I tell Kairi or should I make sure no one knows? But... Kairi's my best friend and I couldn't... but the fact was that he was the enemy. I still had to keep my plan in order even if this meant something weird feeling was nagging at me now. Why did I care about this if it meant nothing to me? I really need to shake this off before I saw Kairi or she'd know. She always seemed to know when something had happened in my life. When we got to the theatre they were standing outside, Sora had his arms wrapped around Kai. She was searching for us. Roxas turned off the music and leaned to the window.

"You guys ready to go?"

"We've been waiting for like fifteen minutes," Kairi impatiently tapped her foot.

"Sorry getting kicked out wasn't what we planned. We went to grab something to eat," Sora's eyes widened.

"You took her to Mom's, didn't you?"

"Yeah, so what if I did."

"That's weird. Was she there?" I looked at him inquiringly.

"Nope, but I left her a note."

"Cool, uh I guess I'll sit in front."

"Alright," Kairi opened the door and pulled herself next to me.

The drive back to the academy was silent and cold. No one said a word and when we got there I left them and Roxas went away as well. Sora and Kairi stood in the lot very confused. I really had no words and I'm guessing neither did he. Sora looked at Kai.

"I'm guessing something happened at my mom's restaurant."

"You're mom owns a restaurant?"

"Yeah, and Roxas never takes anybody there. And he has a lot of "special" girls that he has never allowed to go there."

"Oh, that's really weird."

"You're tellin' me."

I walked to the dorm wondering... what was Roxas thinking about... right now?

YAY CHAPTER SEVEN DONE! Woohoo GO CHIBI! This hit me like in the middle of the night last week and I haven't been able to write it. Even my partner's been bouncing off the walls to read it. I hope you like it and I bet she'll bring more in the next chapter.
