DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING OF TOKYO MEW MEW
Elliot POV
Everyone was at the cafe on time. Wesley arrived first and made coffee for anyone who wanted some. Zoey smiled and hugged the girls when she came down stairs. This didn't go unnoticed by Corina of course but she didn't say anything for now. Wesley put the closed sign up saying we'll be closed for Spring Break.
"Ok everyone; our flights leaves in 1 hour. So let's get going and have some fun." I say with a smile. I didn't have to tell them more since they already knew the situation but hopefully we can get her mind off it and relax. Everyone piled into the car and Wesley drove us to the airport. Me and Wesley got the girls bags while they got on the plane. I saw Zoey looking around at the top of the stairs of the plane. I don't know if she felt something or if she was just worried; but when she caught my eyes she smiled softly and went inside. I looked around myself after I grabbed the last of the bags. Wesley and me got on the plane, telling our pilot we was ready to go and took our seats. Wesley sat next to Bridgette across from Kiki, who immediately went back to sleep. I don't blame her. I sat next to Zoey and across from to my horror Corina and Renee. Renee had her coffee in hand as Corina had tea in hers.
Of course I can deal with Renee but Corina is the devil. Zoey sat by the window and stared out of it quietly. I avoided making eye contact with the demon duo and Zoey. I knew if I even glanced at Zoey, Corina was gonna say something about it and therefore get Renee involved. No thanks. So I kept my eyes closed to looked like I was going to sleep and hopefully eventually would go to sleep. With Kiki quietly asleep it will be easy to dose off. Within 40 minutes of the flight I was slowly falling asleep until I heard Renee's voice.
"Zoey? Wesley told us what happened last night. How are are holding up?" She asked. Since my eyes are closed I couldn't tell how she looked. She sighed deeply before answering. "I don't know. Ok I guess. Stressed mostly. But how am I supposed to feel when an crazy ex boyfriend is after you?"
"You know it's ok to be scared right?" Corina jumped in. I heard Zoey scoffs and an eye roll I'm sure followed. "I'm not scared of that bitch of a man. Why should I be? But…" she pause. "If I'm not scared of him then..why am I running away?" You're not running away! I wanted to scream but couldn't.
"Zoey you're not running. You're just playing it safe. Mark is crazy but he's also smart. The fact that he'll expose you and us as the mew mews doesn't really matter to us." Renee spoke with love and gentleness but she pause for a second before Zoey cut her off. "And part of me thinks he knows this. That we don't care of being exposed. But I wish I knew what made him change into a jerk." The girls sighed in unison. Corina's voice chirps in curiosity, "Were you guys having sex? Like constantly?" My hands tighten on my arms. I heard Renee snicker slightly; Zoey must be blushing. "Not a lot. It's embarrassing really...we only done it like twice.." There was a pause, and then, "WHAAAAAT!?" Corina's scream scared me out my seat that my eyes flew open and looked dead at her. "ARE YOU TELLING ME OUT OF THE WHOLE THREE YEARS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING TOGETHER YOU ONLY HAD SEX TWICE?!" She screamed loudly making everyone cover their ears. "Corina..super sonic screaming...it hurts…" Renee stated and Corina calmed down. "Sorry...but it's just shocking. You would think that well...you know."
"Yeah but I wasn't crazy for it unless I really wanted it. And no I meant like twice a month but then it got….boring." The plane got quiet again. Me Renee and Corina looked at Zoey who had her eyes casted down. "That's when he started sneaking around." I finally spoke. She nodded. "It makes sense now after I caught him red handed. The extra hours working late, being on the computer and his phone all the time, not wanting to touch me, barely kissing me…" I grabbed her hand tightly. Stopping her from going on. She looked at me with sadness and a cry for help. "Don't worry about him anymore. He's an idiot that fucked up a good thing. I'll protect you all ways." She smiled at me and her face lite up which made me feel better.
I looked in Zoey's s eyes and smiled. Renee and Corina looked at us for awhile before Corina cleared her throat, snapping me out it. She gave me this look that said "Gotcha." And my stomach sank. The pilot came over The speaker announcing we were landing soon so to put our seat belts on. I slowly let go of Zoey's hand and fasten my seatbelt. Later on we landed at the airport and by my private car that was taking us the hotel. The girls looked at the sights; pointing at buildings that they remember from last time and new ones that were built. We made it to our hotel in no time. We got the VIP suites thanks to Wesley so we had to pair up cause each room was a two bedroom. "Renee would you like to be my roommate?" Corina asked quickly to get an head start. Renee nodded once and took a card key from Wesley and started towards their room. Kiki started to ponder. "Hmm who should I room with?" As she looked between her friends a tall figure walked up behind her. "How about me? If you don't mind." Kiki turned around to find Yuebin smiling down at her. Without thinking Kiki jumped into his arms and hugged him. "Yue! I can't believe it, what are you doing here?"
"Your friend Elliot contacted me and told me about your trip and invited me along. Of course I agreed because I've missed you so much so I wanted to surprise you." He kisses her sweetly on the lips, making Kiki blush slightly. "So will you room with me, my little monkey?" He asked huskily; to which Kiki nodded. She took a door key from Wesley and they walked to their room without as much of a look or a goodbye to her friends. Wesley turned to Bridgette with his usual heart melting smile. "Miss Bridgette would you do me the pleasure of being my roommate on this vacation?"
Bridgette's face turned bright red and was having a hard time answering. "Um well I um to answer that well...it'll be more..of a pleasure for me..I mean! Y-yes." Wesley chuckled and took Bridgette's bag with his own. "Wonderful, well let's go find our room shall we?" He handed Elliot the last room key and walked away with the speechless mermaid. As I watched them leave he realized something. I looked at the room key in my hand and looked down to my right to see Zoey, and only Zoey, standing beside me. "Well I guess that just leaves us two huh, roomie?" Zoey asked and My heart began to beat louder. Zoey took the room key from me. "Come on let's go find our room." She grabbed her bag and started towards their room. "Y-yeah.." was the only thing I could get out my mouth.
"Room 225! Here we are Elliot." Zoey opened the door and we walked inside. Zoey dropped her bag and jumped on the sofa. "Ahhhh so soft! It feels great to get off my feet and rest."
"We've been on a plane for only a few hours so why would your feet be hurting?" I asked looking at her with my eyebrow raised. "Uh jet lag?" She smiled sitting up to look at me. I couldn't help but to laugh. "Yeah sure. I'm going to the kitchen for some water." Zoey nodded. "Well while you do that I'm gonna put our stuff in our room. I call the bed by the window! Or closest to the Tv!" She was excited and full of energy and that's what I like to see. I rolled my eyes at her. "Whatever Strawberry, a beds a bed." She giggled as she took my bag from me and ran to the back to the room.
"So far so good. Everyone has a room. Check. Zoey is happy and not worrying about that S.O.B Mark. Check. I get to relax and fun with friends with no drama. Check check and check." I got a bottle of water out the mini fridge and chugged half of it down. Then I hear Zoey call for me. "Uhh Elliot?"
"Yes?" I called back. "I thought this was supposed to a two bedroom suite?" She came out from the room with a questioning look. I looked at her strangely. "Yeah it is, why?" Zoey shook her head and pointed to the room.
I followed her finger and walked into the room. As I turned the corner and opened the door I see there's only one bed in the middle of the room. "Oh shit."
It didn't take long for the others to find me and Zoey's room. Corina knocked on the door repeatedly until I opened it. Along with her was Renee, Bridgette, and Wesley. "I thought you said you booked two bedroom suites?" Corina complained to me. "Look I'm just as surprised as all of you but I didn't book the suites. Wesley did. Didn't you?" I looked to my friend who blushed guiltily. "Yes I did and now that I realize what's happened I remember not clicking the two bedroom mark. I'm sorry everyone I was being careless and it's not like."
He was right it's really not like him at all. "W-well it's ok! Please don't blame yourself Wesley, it's a common mistake. I'm sure we can make it work." Bridgette encouraged. Renee shrugged, "Yeah I mean I'm not really complaining about it. Are you Corina?" She looked down at Corina who shook her head. "N-not at all! I don't mind the arrangements one bit I-i just wanted to know what changed in room arrangement is all." I nodded and looked at Zoey. "What about you Strawberry?"
She smiled with a nod. "Yeah, like Bridgette said we'll make it work." Deep down I kinda felt relieved to hear that. "And besides." She continued "It doesn't seem like Kiki and Yuebin are complaining either." I've come to notice that she wasn't here. Only one thought came to my mind of what they could be doing along with everyone else. Bridgette seemed to be only one flustered at the thought as the girls giggled and Wesley softly blushed.
"Well I'm going to take my leave and order room service." Corina stated. "I agree I'm famished. And I still have to unpack. Let's all hang out tomorrow yes?" Renee followed Corina out the door as she talked. We nodded in agreement. "Ok have a goodnight everyone." Wesley and Bridgette said their goodbyes and goodnight said they left as well; leaving me and Zoey once again alone.
I looked at her and bit the inside of my jaw. I don't know what I'm worried about? I just have to act normal. "Well room service sounds good to me. What about you; hungry?"
She held her stomach hearing it make a noise. "That would be a yes." We started laughing and I got the phone. "Ok I'll order something you go unpack." She went back to bedroom and I call the kitchen for our order. After 5 minutes on the phone I went into the room to put my clothes away. The room was empty but I heard the shower running. 'She's in the shower!' I thought to myself. The image of her from the locker room flashed into my mind and I felt my pants get tight. "Fuck..come on man get your head out the gutter. She's just a friend. A very...cute and sexy friend...who just happens to be single...and will be sharing a bed with...ugh!" I flop on the bed and groan in the pillow. "I'm not even sure how she feels about me or even wants to try having another relationship. But she's been flirting with me for awhile… but even that's unclear! What should I do?..."
At that moment the shower stopped and Zoey came out the bathroom wrapped in a towel. Me and her looked at each other for seems like forever. She opened her mouth to say something but I beat her to it. "We need to talk."
I left the room so she can get dressed. While I waited our food arrived. I ordered us a pizza and wings. I got a beer out mini fridge and sat on the couch. As I did she came out the room dressed in her nightwear, which didn't help me one bit because she still looked sexy. Her hair was down and slightly damp; she wore black silk pj bottoms and a black silk spaghetti strap top.
There was a awkward silence between us as we looked at each other. She walked over to sit with me and like bad/perfect timing there was a knock on the door. It was only room service with our food. I quickly paid him and went back to the couch and sat the food on the coffee table. Zoey grabs a slice and I really can't hold back anymore patience blurted out to her, "So, what is going with you? Do you like me or are you just fucking with me?"
Zoey stopped chewing and looked at me shocked. "Yeah I like getting to the point if you haven't figured it out. I don't feel like sugar coating anymore at the moment, so talk."
"What are you talking about Elliot?" She put her pizza down.
"Don't act stupid with me Zoey so cut the bullshit. The shit with Mark I can handle, but the flirting with me one second and then act like I'm lusting over you in front of our friends and playing victim I won't stand for. Now I'm asking again; what's with you?"
She smirked at me. "Aw you can't a woman flirting with you Elli?"
"Oh I can handle plenty of women flirting with me. But you? It doesn't make sense. As I recall you hated me, you got flustered whenever I did something to you. Is this supposed to be pay back?" I can play my own game too just as well as her. I smirked back at her folding my arms.
"No, not pay back."
"Then what?"
She gave a light shrug. "Who knows? I can't recall." Quickly I was on top of her; my knee between her legs, my hands on both sides of her head. I had her caged. I leaned down close to her face and spoke in a smooth husky voice in her ear. "Zoey; this little game of yours can go on as long as you want but, is it so hard to admit that you might actually like me? You and I both know you're not just doing all this for fun. Trying to get an reaction out of me. Flaunting your sexy underwear by bending over in front of me, licking your fingers in a certain way, climbing into my bed at different hours of the night wear sexy lingerie. If you want me that bad just admit it." I ran my hand gently down her cheek to her chin; tilting her head up to look at me in the eyes. My hand traveled down her neck slowly and stopped at her collarbone. She didn't say anything. She didn't have to. I could hear her heartbeat literally skip a beat.
I got off her and went to get another beer. "So are you saying you didn't like my a little stunts?" I heard her ask. "Not saying I did or didn't. But what I am saying is, your playing a dangerous game Strawberry. I'm a man after all; don't forget that." When I turned around she was right behind me and really...really..close. Close enough that her breasts were pushed up against me and our noses were almost touching. "Which means what? What's that supposed to mean?"
I looked her deeply in the eyes. I saw determination, pride, lust and something else that said she was pushing me and wanted me to push back. Temptation. "It means be careful what you're asking for. Because when I decided to actually pounce; don't get cold feet and run." To prove my point I grabbed a good handful of her ass and her face lit up like a firework, but she didn't budge. She also wasn't wearing any underwear. Surprisingly. "So tell me again; before this game gets out of hand. Do you like me Zoey? Do you want me?"
She calmed herself and answered long and clear. "Maybe I do and maybe I don't. You figure it out you're a genius. And It's not a game but I do plan to win by any means necessary." I wasn't expecting or prepared for what happened next but I felt her grab my junk in all it's harden glory through my pants and gave it a Good squeeze before rubbing it softly and letting go. She went back to the couch to finish her pizza. While she had her back turned I felt my face heat up. She won that round I'll admit that. She caught me off guard. But I did say this was war and I will make her crack.
After getting myself together I went to couch too and ate. Though I didn't get a straight answer from her I did get something. She likes me. And I was gonna make her scream it. We didn't stay up too late. We ate and watched movies and had small talk. I went to shower and to handle my problem. When I came out she was fast asleep. I slipped in the bed wearing only boxers and lounge pants and looked at Zoey. Before I can get her to admit she likes me or more; I have to answer the same one. Do I really like her or is this just for fun to get to her? I slowly moved some hair from her face. "Yeah; I think I really do.."
