Ch.8 Choosing the Gamble

"Do you see her?"

"No."

"She should be here by now!"

"Calm down, I'm sure she's be here very soon."

"I know but I can't wait any longer!" Terra whined gripping Gaara's arm tightly as she jumped up and down making Kabuto laugh when she faltered from a weak ankle.

The gang was all at the airport waiting from Terra's American friend, Katy, to arrive for the Christmas holiday. Originally it was just supposed to be the twins, Kabuto and her but Gaara over heard and tagged along.

It had been an awkward month since Thanksgiving, Gaara and Kabuto gotten much worst around each other. Gaara surprisingly, more possessive…well should it be surprising? Like its Gaara he's always been this way…and yet this was different, Terra couldn't put her finger on it but the way Gaara's been acting…holding her close to him, making the effort to hold her hand…showing her tiny things of affection!

Looking up at him she frowned, like now, his thumb was rubbing slowly across her hip bone as he stared forward, tiny things like that, things Gaara wouldn't do!

Her frown deepens as she looks away then up at Kabuto, then there was him…where to start? Well ever since Gaara caught on to her and him, he's been doing his best to keep Kabuto away, but Kabuto was a sneaky bastard and always found a way to get to her or spend time. Like getting in good with her Aunt, so basically the boy could come over anytime he wanted… naturally… it was every day, when and if Gaara wasn't there…sneaky bastard.

"She'll be here, you spaz just wait." Kabuto grins crossing his arms to keep from touching her.

"What does she look like again?" Cho asked her blue curls swaying as she searched through the crowd of people.

"Golden blonde hair, fair skin and big baby blue eyes." Terra replied while stepping up on some chairs.

"Aren't all Americans like that?" Aya hummed tucking her green hair behind her ear.

"I'm not like that."

"That's cuz you have lovely mocha skin." Kabuto mused.

Terra felt Gaara's shoulder muscle twitch under her hand she used support her weight. She chose not to answer to that, she really didn't need a fight breaking out in public; she knew the paparazzi were lurking around, she spotted about six since they been here, just waiting to catch something.

Who would have ever guessed that the paparazzi would be chasing after me, me of all people! She blushed when a flash flickered to her left causing her to rub a scar near her temple; something she learned real quickly was that the paparazzi could be very ruthless. I'm never going to get use to this!

Feeling Gaara bump her leg with his shoulder she patted his head, again with the tiny gestures, usually he would have cared less about her feels towards the paparazzi but now every time they show up or a flash goes off he'll give her some kind of contact for comfort…scary thing was, she was beginning to like it.

"Terra!" A loud screech of happiness rang through the airport.

"Found her!" The twins chorused.

"Yes because a loud barreling blonde of happiness is hard to see." Kabuto chuckles watching Katy tumble and stumble through the people the bright smile on her face that could outshine the sun, she was quite the sight.

"Katy!" Terra cried even louder flinging herself off the chair with such speed that the group was sure that when the two crashed together, there was going to be a thunderous crack.

Throwing their arms around each other necks, squeezing and squealing in English much to the groups' disappointment, not so much Kabuto's he could understand English just fine when spoke a normal speeds and not so much squealing.

Gaara watched Terra hop and wiggle around her friend with just excitement that it nearly made him laugh, he never seen her smile so big and bright, her whole face just lit up like the night sky on a clear night, it was breath taking.

Shaking his head, he huffed looking down at his black boots while shoving his hands into his pockets. He really needed to stop thinking like this, nothing good comes of such silly thoughts; it'll only make things worse when it was time to leave. Wincing he sighs, it might be too late.

Looking back up he frown, Terra had gone stiff, immediately going stiff himself he glared at the group. "What happened?"

"I dunno," Ayo shrugged. "She just went rigid." Cho finished just as another teen girl and boy came walking up to the duo. The girl hugged Terra even if, she didn't move to hug her back as the guy smiled giving a small wave.

It wasn't before long the new girl came rushing up to the group, more so to Gaara then any other, speaking rapidly in English much too fast for Kabuto to understand and the other just sucked at speaking English.

He couldn't keep the frown off his face as the girl touched his arms gently, smiling as her fingers trailed down his arm; her eyes searching to make lasting eye contact, her smile kind her voice soft but she spoke quickly…he didn't like her; don't get him wrong the chick was gorgeous, long legs, big breasts, almond shape green eyes, chestnut brown locks and sun kissed skin.

She was beautiful, gullible and a American; she was an easy fuck, the kind that would throw themselves at him just asking for it then wanted to bitch and whine when he left without a note or even a call. Yes he would have had her screaming and begging so completely at his mercy it was disgusting; looking up his eyes caught Terra walking over with a scowl on her face while her friend muttered something next to her, wearing a worried expression.

Yet Terra, she was the other half the female population that men couldn't figure out no matter the tactic, normally most men wouldn't like women like after the third or so week if they hadn't spread their legs they were ditched…but Gaara liked the thrill of the continuous chase, finally after so many the girls throwing themselves at him, Terra was a nice cold glass of water, refreshing.

Once Terra was in close grabbing distance he snatched up her wrist pulling her close to him much to the brunettes dislike. "What the hell is she saying, who is she?" He hissed.

"Argh she is a headache, and she introducing herself to you." Terra sighs rubbing her eyes, the brunette didn't waste time tapping her shoulder and talking to her in English, much to Gaara annoyance.

"What the hell does she want now?" He glared at her as the girl looked back and forth between them anxiously.

"Wants to know what we're saying…Argh why Katy why did she come to Japan!"

Gaara looked to the blond as she sighs. "I think you know why."

"You speak Japanese?" Kabuto spoke up pulling the group attention finally having a conversation they could follow.

"Yes, I was the one that taught Ter Bear." She smiles jerking her thumb towards her friend.

"Argh, don't call me that!"

"Really?" Kabuto blinked

"Ter Bear?" The twins smirks but was interrupted by more English by the new chick.

Sighing Terra rolled her eyes. "Terra, Terra what are they saying? Terra I know you hear me!"

"Yes, yes I hear you my gosh!" She snapped in English. "All their talking about is how Katy taught me Japanese, and why did the hell you come to a country without even a translate book?"

"That's what I have you and Katy for," The girl winks. "Now introduce me!"

With another sigh, Terra had a feeling she'll be sighing a lot more, she got the others attention. "Oi, listen up, this here," she pointed to the chick. "Is Ashley Leech, and that guy over there is her boyfriend Shawn."

Ashley waved happily to everyone but kept returning her eyes to Gaara, which had Terra seething; Shawn just gave a nod in greeting from the back of the group a little ways away from everyone. "And of course you all know Katy!" she smiled brightly now as she sided hugged the blond.

There were mutters of rough English hellos to Ashley and bright smiles with excited waves to Katy. "Now Ashley, the twins are Aya and Cho. Aya is the one with light green hair, while her sister Cho, has blue hair, the tall one with glass is Kabuto and of course my Husband, Gaara." Terra introduced, pointing to each person even going as far as patting Gaara's chest and taking hold of his hand.

Ashley smile faltered for a quick second, when Terra taken Gaara's hand, twitching Terra held his hand tighter while Gaara pulled her closer. "It's very nice to meet you all, right Shawn?" She smiled but this time it wasn't as bright as Shawn nods.

Katy and Terra didn't move to translate which annoy Ashley before Kabuto spoke up quickly. "Not saying this is fun buutt…how about we leave yeah?"

Happy to leave the awkward after everything was translated everyone agreed, gathering their things they all headed for the outside doors and was met with a crowd of flashing lights and shouting. Terra immediately came to a halt having Katy slam into her back, her eyes wide as her breathing became shallow. She shook her head. "What could they possible gain by this? I'm just picking up a friend!"

"Terra?" Katy went around her friend looking at her petrified face. "Terra…hey Ter Bear?" waving her hand in Terra's face the girl didn't move, she just stood there in shock.

"What's wrong with her?"Ashley frowned before looking out at the paparazzi. "Is it always like this?"

"Actually this is small, we had worst." Kabuto translated easily, now that everyone was talking slow enough to be understood.

"Worst than this?" Shawn finally spoke up eyeing the crowd.

"That's the price you pay when you elope with the Prime Minister's problematic son." Gaara glared over at Kabuto as he swept Terra into his arms, he may have sucked at English but the words 'Prime Minister's problematic son' was something he understood in any language.

Feeling Terra curl into his frame pushing her face into his chest holding onto his neck, Gaara turned to the four eyed bastard. "Kabuto shut the fuck up," He then turned to the new chick; her name already slipped his mind. "No...ruum, in car…get own." His English was rough and harsh to the ears and his thick accent didn't make it better to understand as the girl frowned.

"Wait…what?" She gasps taken back.

"We weren't expecting you, so there's no room; you're going to have to find your way to Terra's home." Kabuto elaborated. "Aya, Cho stay close head down, remember don't let them get under your skin, they'll do anything for a picture."

"H-hey! Wait, I don't…I can't speak Japanese how am I supposed to get around?"

"Maybe you should have thought of that before just inviting yourself along." Katy smirks before squealing when Kabuto scooped her up into his arms.

"Excuse me, milady but we have to make haste." Kabuto winks with a charming smile, whisking her into the crowd of flashing lights as Ashley stomped her foot pouting at their retreating backs.


"Argh I can't believe I froze up like that!" Terra whined pushing her face into a pillow as she watched the Tv screen, the media eating up the mysterious girl with Terra and her new fear of paparazzi. Luckily they didn't notice or cared, Terra hoping for the latter, about Ashley and for that she was thankful, she could just imagine how much bigger the whore's head will get if the media paid her any attention.

"Terra stop worrying, you know it'll die down after a week or so." Kabuto sighs stretching out on the couch sneaking his arm around her, to onlookers to seemed like a casual move but Terra knew better; sneaky bastard.

"So you gunna tell me what happen?"Katy asked crossing her legs on the couch letting the twins giggle and squeal as they played with her hair.

"Well," She dragged out the word looking the other way clicking her tongue. "No not really."

"No you're going to tell me! What happen, Ter Bear, it must have been something bad for you to freeze up like that." Katy pressed with a small glare.

"She ran when I told her not to." Gaara thick raspy voice spoke up as she came into the living room with a can of soda, seeing Kabuto's arm around Terra he sneered at the silver headed teen, grabbing onto Terra's wrist pulling her up then twirling her down onto his lap on the far side of the couch Gaara held her to him tightly.

"What do you mean?" Katy smirked watching the two as Terra blushed deeply.

"Argh Katy, stop digging!" She whined throwing her head back on Gaara's shoulder.

"You owe me for not tell me you were married! Now spill!"

"I have a feeling you are going to use that against me for a while."

"Tsh blackmail for life!"

"Fiiinnne, fine!" Terra pouted. "It was a long horrible day and I just wanted to be a lone and eat ice-crème like a fat ass that I am but they were following me everywhere! Asking all these absurd questions, one of them even had the balls to ask if I was pregnant! Pregnant Katy, do I really look that fat? I mean yeah we gotten married young but I can't be having babies now!"

Katy was laughing as Terra shrieked waving her arms about. "But you two would make very cute babies! You owe for not making me maid of honor, so you'll make me an Aunty, so chop chop!" Katy laughs clapping her hands making Terra blush an even darker shade of red.

"Katy!" she whined long and loud. "Stop being prevy!"

"Me? Tsh we all know it's you who's a pervert! I bet you two are like jack rabbits!"

Looking to the side awkwardly she shifted in Gaara's lap as he squeezed her thigh, which made her blush spread down her neck. No don't think about Gaara like that! Stop its wrong! Clean thoughts, clean thoughts!

"Back on topic!" She shouted a little too loudly. "So anyways I called Gaara telling him to come get me and stuff, he told me to stay put and ignore them but it's like they got worst, crowding me and shout mean things I kinda snapped and shouted them to 'fuck off you hungry cum suckers' and ran for it…they chased after me much to my horror, like a damn zombie movie and of course I tripped over my own damn feet, and they swarm me like lions feasting on a carcass."

She sighs shaking her head. "So there I was with a deep gash to the forehead bleeding and crying like a little bitch as they stood over me snapping pictures,"

"No one bother to help?" Katy frowned as she got up to look at the scar on Terra's temple before sitting back down. "So what happened next?"

"After that Gaara came to the scene with his motorcycle roaring and like the red sea to Moses, the paparazzi a parted a way for him to scoop me up and then we rode off...of course not without a verbal lashing while getting 5 stitches in the head."

"Aww so he was your knight in shining armor on top of a pure white steed." Katy cooed, as the twins agreed twisting her hair into a bun, Kabuto just rolled his eyes sourly, not that anybody noticed.

"Tsh more like Dark overlord and his chariot of death." Terra mutters.

"Oh so more like Hades and Persephone?" Katy laughed.

"I wasn't picking flowers."

"And she's not a virgin." The twins chorused.

"Minor details." Katy waved off as Terra looked away awkwardly.

"The latter is kinda major." Kabuto grumbled, before being hit in the stomach by Terra.

"What was that Kabuto?" Katy smiles.

Rubbing his stomaching with a grimace, he smiled fixing his lopsided glasses. "N-nothing…"

Suddenly there was a loud bang followed by an even louder voice screaming. "Katy!"

"Aunty Jamie!" A blur of dark honey, came hurdling pass the couch and glomping the blond the two squealing and laughing.

"Why do girls always have to squeal?" Kabuto mutters crossing his arms, he was getting moody Gaara was keeping Terra close to him and he had yet to have time with her today, it was agitating. Every time he tried to be lone with her, Gaara somehow made an excuse to be in the room with her or to get something; it also didn't help he was sexually aggravated, Terra was an addiction he didn't want to quit.

"So Terra, um…why is Ashley here?" Her Aunt asked from her position on the couch next to Katy. "She called me saying she was here with Katy but ya'll left her and she was lost."

"Yeah…she invited herself over to the holidays." Terra sighed rolling her eyes…wait! "Hold up she called you? How the hell did she get your number?"

"Knowing her she may have gotten it from my mother."

"Yeah grandma was always a bit oblivious, when it came to Ashley."

"That's cause she's two face!" Katy snapped.

"What she do?" Aya asked her green hair slipping into her face.

"Long story, that we don't have time for, since she's here." Jamie sighs getting up just time when Ashley came in pouting.

"You guys' you left me!" She whined plopping herself down on the couch between Kabuto and Gaara resting her head on his shoulder. Terra looked at the girl as if she had a fifth head growing from her neck, the bitch was bold!

Just when she was about to shove the brunette's head off of her…her what? What was Gaara to her anyways? Cutting off her thoughts, the redhead himself stood up pulling Terra up with him into his arms then over his shoulder, much to her dislike he even went as far as slapping her ass while walking out the living room then up to her room without much of a word to anyone.

"Use protection!" Both her Aunt Jaime and Uncle Brian shouted in both English and Japanese.

Everyone laughed at Terra's shouts of embarrassment as she was hauled up the stairs, even Shawn gave a quiet chuckle but the silent fuming from the four eyed bastard and beautiful brunette went unnoticed.


"So, she took Shawn from you?"

"Yeah, the worst part was we were all friends…Me, Katy, her and Shawn."

Terra sighed as she tried to look anywhere but Gaara's chiseled chest, he was cut to perfection! Those thick strong arms, delicious washboard abs, wonderful pectorals; she gulped quietly suddenly glade that her shirt was half way open because it was getting hot.

Gaara suggested, more like demanded, that they get half way undressed so if someone did walk in it would look like they were about to have sex. Since they're 'married' it wouldn't have been odd or even wrong that they were, her Aunt and Uncle just wanted to make sure babies weren't on the list yet if she could follow that one rule they didn't care, she'll be an adult soon…that and she had to be quiet...that just made her die!

The male over her shifted bring her out of her thoughts and back to their position; she laid on the bed with her shirt halfway unbutton, her shorts pulled down just enough to show her hips and blue panties, much to her horror, her legs where resting on either side of his thick tone thighs as his own pants were unzipped giving her peeks the wisps of his happy trail disappearing down into his boxers; he was sitting up with his arms crossed as he looked down at her, his arms thick and lethal looking, as he pushed for more answers.

"Did she know you liked him?"

"Of course she did! All I ever did was gush over him to her and Katy." She pushed the heel of her hands to her eyes as she groans.

"Do you still like him?" She felt the muscles on his thighs bulge as he became rigid. She thought on his question without removing her hands, did she still like him? The answer came quick, no she didn't, not after spending so much time with Gaara and Kabuto, now looking back at Shawn he was still very handsome, but the other two were like model gods compared to Shawn.

She felt strong hands remove her hands pinning them to the bed. "I said do-

"No, I don't like him that way anymore…why should I?" She huffed slightly; she looked up at him as he stared down at her with an unreadable expression, her eyes roamed his face then to his kanji scar of love (which he never explained how he got) his ears, lips and eyebrow piercings, the dark sleepless rings around his teal colored eyes.

This was the first time Terra had a close enough look at him, without him scowling or frowning, able to take in every detail; like how plump his bottom lip actually was or how straight his nose seemed, that his jaw was define and wide, his body hard and tone seemingly like steel as he pressed up against her body intimately, she always liked how he smelled of spice and cinnamon…

"Ahem…I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need a place to put my things." And…the moment is ruin, sighing Terra went to move but was blocked by Gaara bring to her attention just how close they had become, his nose brushed hers as he dropped his head into her neck while slumping his full weight over her, pressing her deeper into the bed.

She blushed deeply at his actions, trying not to think about just how wide her legs had to spread just to cradle his hip within hers. "Y-yeah, you and Shawn will be sleeping in my brother's room that diagonal to mine."

"Ok kool, Shawn can have that we and we all can camp out in here like old times." Ashley smiles as she went to drop her stuff.

"No, not kool!" Terra hissed as wiggled beneath Gaara trying move from him; she pushed at his shoulders but it was trying to move a boulder. "You and Shawn are sleeping in Ty's room, he's not going to be here for the holidays so yay for you and Oh my gosh Gaara would you stop!" She yelled because each time she moved or twist some way he would move with her blocking her from moving back to her old position; he nearly had the top of her knees touch his shoulders while his crotch was hard-pressed against hers.

Don't think about the bulge; don't think about the bulge…

Yeah because that's so easy to not think the thick pulsing bulge against your crotch, psh a piece of cake!

Hey I don't have time for you sarcastic nature, so shut the hell up!

How are you going to tell 'shut the hell up' to yourself?

"Hey Ashley, Jamie-san, want your help with some…thing." Kabuto trailed off at the sight of Terra and Gaara, Ashley turned with a nod leaving her stuff where she dropped them with, as Terra peeked over Gaara's brawly shoulder.

Clenching his fits rolling his jaw, Kabuto glared at the redhead's hands as they trailed down the sides of Terra's body before gripping her rump. "Is there something you need Yakushi?" He asked peek under his shoulder his smirk hidden from Terra.

Seething Kabuto took a step into the room his fist curled so tightly together they were turning a pale white while the veins along his arms appeared against his skin. Gaara sat up from his crouch over Terra, his shoulders rolling as he turned his upper body to face the threat, his own muscles becoming tense.

Smirking finally the tension easing from his shoulders, Kabuto rubbed his mouth before shoving his hands into his pocket. "Just know that you're not the one she wants."

Gaara chuckled as he placed his hand on Terra's belly sliding it up between her breasts as she tried to sit up, keeping her flat against the mattress. "And you'll always have to steal to get want you want; no one likes the second best."

Kabuto rushed into the room with a sneer and by the grace of god Terra was quick enough to grab Gaara's arm yanking him back when he jerked forward. "Stop it the both of ya's!" Terra hissed her southern accent cutting through with her Japanese.

"This is not the time to compare cock sizes." She stared at them harshly. "If Ashley hears not only would me and Gaara be in deep shit but you too Kabuto so stop!"

Pissed off she pushed Gaara away from her enough to swing her leg over him before getting up. Grabbing his shirt she tossed it in his face. "Get dress and you get out." She pushed Kabuto towards the door but not before grabbing Ashley's things and shoving them in his hands.

"Takes this put it in Ty's room," she jostled him into the hall then turning to Gaara as he stood grabbing him by the belt of his pants yanking out the door.

"Terra-

"No don't Terra me!" she hissed pointing at Gaara as Kabuto came back. "I'm so sick of this! I don't know what to do anymore! I don't…" she rubbed her face fighting back the tear, damnit this was hear fault, all her fault she shouldn't have started this shit with Kabuto…but she just wanted to be wanted, thinking that after all this was over she could be with him but she never thought her feeling for Gaara would continue to grow!...That maybe if she was with Kabuto, that her feeling for Gaara would be crushed.

"I…I can't do this anymore, I…don't…"she shook her head moving away from Kabuto as he took a step towards her. "I don't want to see either of you for a while!" her voice cracked but she was glade the tears didn't fall.

She wasn't necessarily mad at them but really more of herself! This was just like a few months back at the Halloween party, she couldn't figure out who she liked more!

She now the girl that's going back and forward between two guys, saying she was liked them both that she couldn't pick because she didn't want to hurt either one of them! Now she's at the point of ignoring them because she didn't know who to choose!

Hearing a creak the three looked to the stairs to see Lulu, the pointer mix, staring at them with a tilt head. Glade for the distraction, Terra shook her head she'll not be like the rest! She won't be like every other girl kisses the guy her for to realize she never loved him in the way he loved her because she loved the other guy!

"Gaara…call me Monday afternoon." She murmurs softly refusing to look at either of them as she turned back into her room. Leaning against the door she sighs as she slides down the door, she couldn't believe she just picked like that and Gaara no less, what was she going to do when this was all over then Gaara leaves her!

I had a chance with Kabuto! There's nothing but a Gamble with Gaara!

Then what do you call that a few minutes back? Of him being affectionate?

He's just playing his role! None of it was really him...was it?


"What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong…"

"You been too quiet."

Terra looked over at Katy with narrowed eyes, she was too observant sometimes.

"I'm thinking…"

"Ooo, don't start a fire."

"Shush up!" Terra laughed shoving at her blonde friend.

"So what you thinkin about?"

"I'm writing a story for a creative writing class." Terra lied smoothly.

"Eh? I love your stories, what's it about?" Katy wiggled in her seat with excitement.

Rolling her lips she looked up at the ceiling, for once Terra was glad that lying came easy to her…when she wasn't under pressure that is. "Well, the whole class had to draw from a hat for a topic to write…I drew the drama/romance."

"Aw, you suck at those…"

"Hey!"

"Well it's true! You do better with adventure and action with a little slice of romance." Katy tapped her chin.

"Tsh well excuse me!"

With a waving of her hand Katy smiles. "Anywhos tell me."

So Terra basically told Katy everything, just with a change of names and leaving out the marriage, just saying that Jude (Gaara) forced Linda (Terra) to pretend to be his 'girlfriend', but Linda meet Killian (Kabuto) and feeling beginning to grow yada yada.

"So now Linda is in a bind, she likes both Jude and Killian but I don't want this to be cliché and Linda going through this whole ordeal just to realize who she likes." Terra sighs finally finished with her lie/confession.

"Wow, yeah a bit cliché…Killian sounds like a pervert and Jude sounds like an ass, yet Jude sounds like he's coming round to liking Linda."

"Really?" Terra sat up quickly.

Frowning Katy nodded. "You sound surprised."

"You know sometime, stories seem to just write themselves ha...ha." She looked away.

Raising a brow Katy crossed her arms.

"I sorta wrote this with my eyes closed…"

"Yeah now that sounds about right," Katy laughed. "Well to me it seems that Linda likes Jude more and just scared to admit it to herself, I feel she's just lusting after Killian."

"Now how the hell you get that?"

"Stop cursing! And yeah, seems like there's something drawing Linda to Jude, maybe it's that he can make her laugh, hold a conversation when he's not being an ass and there is that sexual attraction, maybe not as intense as Killian's."

"But Linda gets along with Killian too! There's laugh and stuff they get along great!"

"But there's more flirting on that end so it could very much be based off the sexual attraction, also Linda spends most of her time with Killian."

Terra frowned she was right on that part, she hardly spent any time with Gaara, not since the beginning. "I see…so you think something there between Linda and Jude?"

"Oh yeah she just have to spend time with him to find it and stop being scared of having her heart broken."

"You think she scared of getting hurt?"

"Why else avoid him?"


Monday rolled around much too quickly for Terra, she hadn't gotten her feelings figured out yet. Everything was still a jumbled mess and Ashley was so damn annoying that Terra just wanted to cry over it all! So she avoided him, purposely missing his calls.

But Katy was right, she was too scared of getting hurt so she went the safest route and that was Kabuto, she didn't even give Gaara a chance! Hell the last time they even flirted was Halloween and she kissed him, well he kissed her, but it was just once when they first met!

Hearing the roars of a Big-Dog motorcycle Terra sat up straight from her position face down in her pillow. She sighs she should have known Gaara would have come over sooner or later, it was going on a week since she told him to call her.

Jumping off her bed she peeked through her window shades watching him shut off the engine before swing his long powerful leg over the bike; his pants fitted his frame to perfection cupping his butt just right!

Shutting the blinds and ducking under her window quickly, she blushed deeper, her heart thundering in her throat. Oh my, gosh did he see her? He saw her ogling his ass, didn't he?

Chewing her lip she hopped back into bed pulling the covers over her head, much like a child hiding from monsters, she was able to get away with telling everyone she was sick in hopes to avoid them but hearing the slow stomps of Gaara's boots climbing the stairs, her heart began racing like a freight train speeding down the tracks before stopping all together as her room door bursts open.

All was silent and still, she was beginning to wonder if she really heard the door open at all until a large strong hand gripped her left ankle that made her stomach drop. With a yank and a yelp Terra was dragged from under her blankets and on to the floor with a thump.

Snapping her head up from his snow covered boots, Terra watch Gaara work his jaw in agitation his fists clenched tightly, his cheek a rosy from the icy winds, his hair had bits of frost yet his eyes were hard, reaching down her grabbed her by her shoulders in a firm grip causing her to gasps from his cold hands closing around her warm flesh as he sat her on her desk gripping her chin forcing her to look up at him, his breath warm against her lips, spicy cinnamon filled her senses.

"Why tell me to call, only for you to avoid me?" He hissed lowly while his eyes bore into hers, his grip firm on her chin, where she couldn't pull away yet gentle enough not to hurt.

Just tell him Terra come on open up that mouth of yours and just say it! I have feelings for you!

Looking away from his hard gaze she licked her lips slowly feeling the word build in the back of her throat forming a knot making it hard and painful to swallow, his eyes were beaming into the side of her head as he leaned to the right slightly picking up her gaze once more but when she refused to speak…unable to speak, his lips formed a tight line before jerking away from her.

He stood with his back to her his shoulder hunched before he moved to reach under her bed pulling out her suite-case and began filling it clothes from her draw and closet. Dumping and stuffing items without really looking.

"W-what are you doing?" She murmurs softly finally able to speak.

"Packing."

"Well yeah I know that!" she glared.

"Then why ask?" he murmurs looking back at her quickly before going back to what he was doing.

Rolling her eyes she watched him go into the bathroom and come back with her tooth brush, flat-iron and her lady products. Well at least he not shy about that…

"So why are you packing my things?"

"You're going to meet my family."

Frowning and hopping off the desk she crossed her arms. "I already met your family."

"No." he mutters trying to zip up her bag. "You met my sibling and some of their friends."

"You forgot to get me shoes…"she mutters smiling when he cursed. "So, what? Your dad want to meet me or somethin'?"

"Yes." He sighs stuffing her bag with shoes.

Terra smile dropped her face draining of color, the Prime Minister wanted to meet her? Her? As in…Terra, Terra Lacewell? Gaara's father, the man that he hated!

"What? Why? When?" Terra asked rushing over to him and taking out the things he put in.

"Because, he wants to meet his bastard's wife." He huffed putting more stuff in only for Terra to take them out.

"No, no Gaara you said he didn't want to meet me!" She whined in a panic.

"Yeah well me too, he never took an interest in what I did or who I fucked…" He looked at Terra then down at the now empty suitcase frowning. "I'm surprised too…"

He looked back at Terra to see she was putting her things away neatly and slowly, licking his lip ring he sighs through his nose. She was freaking out, Terra never put her things away neatly; she just tosses her clothes in the drawer or stuffs them somewhere for later.

"There's no need to freak out, we have done this before, just follow the plan."

"I'm not freaking out." She spoke calmly closing her drawer.

Feeling him grab her arms pulling her to his chest, Terra felt her throat tighten like trying to swallow a rock as he wrapped his arms around her trapping her arms against her side pushing his face into her neck, his lip rings tickling her.

"Jude sounds like he's coming round to liking Linda." Katy's voiced echoed in Terra's head, was Garra really starting to like her? Slowly resting her fingers against his arm she closed her eyes, Gaara would never just held her or pull her so close, he would have demanded she pack and to be quick about…her grip tighten over his arm. Was he really changing?

"Well good, because we're leaving."

"Oh yay! So excited!" she drones pushing her full weight against his chest rolling her head back on his shoulder as he dragged his hands from her arms down over the side of her rib cage over her belly to grip her hips tightly pulling her against him fully. Thankfully there wasn't anything nudging against her ass besides his belt buckle as he rubbed his lips over her neck, his breath hot against her skin.

"We'll be going to a resort near mount Fuji so pack warm."

"Wow, I finally get to see Mt. Fuji huh?" She murmurs softly as Gaara ran his lips up and down her neck lightly, his fingertips sneaking their way under her shirt attentively touching her skin.

Pressing his lips to the jugular part of her neck, he could feel her frantic heart beat, the slow deep intakes of her breath. His heart was beating just as wildly as hers and nearly to the same tempo, his hands felt weak yet determined to travel their way up her hips, over her belly. Gaara couldn't remember the last time he felt this way towards someone, maybe when he was younger when he strive for this father attention.

He needed to stop, he was getting attached, he wasn't stupid enough not to think he didn't feel an attraction her, the way she slowly drew him in without knowing, or the way she was being drawn in…maybe they could make this work, they already lied this far into it, he'll just have to make it official.

Taking his her neck into his mouth in a small open kiss, he felt her body tense before melting into his arms as the door burst open. Terra launched out of his grasps in shock slamming her knee into the draw, yelping out in pain she bends down to grab her knee only to bang her chin on an open draw.

"Argh the hell! I've been shot!" She yells out rolling on the ground hold her chin and knee. Katy was laughing hard as she came into the room reaching down to help her friend as Ashley and Shawn peeked inside to see what the commotion was.

With a shake of his head he stepped over Terra as whimpers and whines. "Be packed by tomorrow we leave early the next morning." He called over his shoulder.

"Leave? Where are you two going?" Katy asked but Terra responds was muttered as he walked further way.

Yes, he was defiantly going to have to make this official.


So there you have it a long ass chapter haha I hope it was good it was a struggle to write.

Also tell what you think! Is Terra being to emotional or over dramatic about the whole ordeal? Who do you feel like she likes more? Which one do you want to her to end up with?
