Chapter Nine: Oblivious Feelings
Chardonnay opened his eyes as the rays of sunlight penetrated the space between the blinds, annoying him.
He then realized that there was a clump of reddish blonde stuff on his chest and his heart began pounding
insanely, Sherry was sleeping on his chest with her arms around his neck. He looked at his alarm clock, it read 7 a.m. Slowly, not wanting to wake her up,
Chardonnay slid gently from underneath her and tiptoed out of his
bedroom and smiled at her angelic face as he took one last look before closing the door. "Right, let's see what we have here."
Chardonnay thought to himself as he opened his refrigerator door and sweat dropped when
there was nothing but bottles of milk and water, "Looks like I have to re-stock."
He thought to himself before pulling on his black trench coat and heading for the headquarter supermarket where all 'employees' in the organization bought their things. Chardonnay pulled a basket and immediately
grabbed two cartons of eggs, a pack of bacon and sausages.
As he made his way to the check out counter, he saw a certain long haired blonde, "Hey" Chardonnay said with a wave, "Oh hello, what are you doing up so early?" Vermouth asked with a smile. "Ummm, buying things to
make breakfast." Chardonnay replied.
Vermouth's eyes narrowed, "I never knew the cold and merciless Chardonnay could make breakfast." She taunted playfully while laughing inside at his discomfort.
"Well, I can actually, its just that I don't want to for most of the time." Chardonnay responded, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably before realizing that he was in a public area and cleared his throat and his face
became emotionless and cold again. "So, I'll meet you at one hour from now then my place, we have plans to go through for our new assignment."
Chardonnay said. Vermouth couldn't help trying to suppress herself from laughing; "I love it when he changes from happy to cold."
Chardonnay just frowned, causing Vermouth to giggle further but she regain her composure and merely nodded. Chardonnay approached the checkout counter, swiped his identity card, which was also in a way his credit
card on the motion sensor and with a beep, the transfer was done. He then bagged his groceries and quickly went back to his room.
Chardonnay took a peak into his bedroom, Sherry was still sleeping, he smiled and began putting his plan into action.
Sherry felt her eyes opening slowly and she realized that she was not in her own apartment and was in someone's bed.
She rose up from the bed and pushed several strands of her reddish blonde hair from the front of her
face. She was relieved when she realized that her clothes were still on her, Chardonnay had kept his word.
"So, it wasn't a dream…" Sherry thought as she remembered the wonderful night she had shared with
Chardonnay. "Speaking of Chardonnay, where is he?" She wondered as she stared at the empty space next to her, but that was when a wonderful smell drifted into the bedroom.
She got off from the bed and found herself truly surprised when she came into the living room.
In the kitchen, Chardonnay was making breakfast and she saw him expertly toss what seemed to be scrambled eggs up into the air and caught it with the frying pan
with reflexes of a professional chef. Sherry watched silently as he placed the scramble eggs onto two plates, he then added some bacon from the oven.
She was surprised of the sight before her, Chardonnay smiled and said with his back turned, "Morning love, how'd you sleep.", Sherry was shocked, but replied with a blush,
"The best I had in a long time." Chardonnay chuckled as he felt her slender arms wrapped around his waist. He turned around and gazed intently into the reddish blonde's turquoise eyes and begin caressing her hair.
"You're so beautiful." Chardonnay whispered. Sherry flushed crimson and leaned forward and placed her lips on his, her tongue slithering into his mouth and smiled when she heard him moan.
She then felt herself moan as Chardonnay wrapped his tongue around hers and drank her saliva.
He broke off and said with a smile "I don't want this to end so soon but my breakfast will be stone cold if we proceeded."
Sherry grinned and sat down in a chair at the kitchen table, and smiled as she scooped scrambled egg into her mouth, "Oh my goodness, I can't believe he can cook so well."
Chardonnay smirked while watching her eat and asked "So, do you like it?" Sherry looked up and felt herself melting as she looked into his ocean blue eyes, "Quite nice, I'm surprised that you're capable of cooking."
Sherry said, couldn't help but adding a teasing tone. "Well, killing is not all I have, that's just sad if it were true.
You would want to learn to do other things rather than surround yourself with guns and swords all day long." Chardonnay retorted with a scoff as he bit into a piece of bacon.
Sherry just smiled, after they were finished, Chardonnay stacked the plates into his dish wishing machine and stretched. Sherry looked at her watch, it read seven fifty and she sighed.
Chardonnay heard it and walked closer to the reddish blonde and gave her a big, tight hug. "What's the matter? Sad that you're not going to see this handsome face for a while?"
Chardonnay said with playful arrogance. "Arrgh you sick pervert." Sherry hissed when she felt his arms going lower. "Don't fight it, you know you love it." Chardonnay responded playfully.
Sherry just rolled her eyes. Remembering that he had a meeting with Vermouth, he removed his arms away from her waist and said sadly,
"Okay, I have important matters to deal with very soon and I understand that you have some experiments to do in your lab."
Sherry nodded and saw the sadness in her lover's ocean blue eyes, she then cupped his cheeks and said seductively, "How bout we resume this tonight?"
Chardonnay smiled and kissed her gently, "I would like that very much." He whispered. He then grabbed her delicate hand and opened the door.
"So I'll see you later then." Chardonnay whispered. Sherry nodded and gave the man she loved one last passionate kiss and turned to leave only to come face to face with a certain 'angry' blonde.
Vermouth being angry would be an understatement, she was literally blowing up inside, her hands were clenched into tight fists and she really wanted to kill Sherry right then for kissing the man she had loved ever since
she set her eyes on him when she was seven. But she knew better than to act without thinking about the consequences and she watched with intense hatred in her eyes as Sherry walked pass her.
Chardonnay narrowed his eyes, "Man, Vermouth is acting so strange lately." He cleared his throat and Vermouth's instantly snapped from her thoughts.
"Well?" he asked, holding the door. "That idiot." Vermouth thought as she entered his room. Chardonnay sighed, something was wrong with his best friend as he asked calmly, "Coffee or Tea?"
"Coffee please." Vermouth replied as she took a seat on the sofa. She watched as Chardonnay put coffee beans into the coffee machine. How she hoped that she could touch him, wrap her arms around him as she stared
at his broad, muscular shoulders.
Memory Flashback: 7 years ago
"Hey, its that new girl. I have an idea." One boy said and beckoned the others to come closer, the others snickered as they heard his plan and nodded.
Vermouth was walking into the study room, where students wereworking on their homework; it was her first day in the Organization.
But her teachers were very harsh and unforgiving, regardless that she was a girl and new, she hadn't made any friends yet because she was new.
All the people she saw were cold and unfriendly.
Sighing she was unaware that there was a rope at knee height between two tables in front of her and she tripped over it and fell down, scrapping her knees and her elbows.
A group of boys snickered, pointed and laughed.
Vermouth found herself on the verge of tears when she heard a strong and warm voice shout out, "Leave her alone, pick on someone your own damn size!"
The group of boys turned around and Vermouth saw a tall, strong, handsome boy picking up one the bullies as if he were weightless and flung him hard to the other corner of the room.
Another bully charged at him but he merely sidestepped and responded with a straight kick to the stomach.
"Who's next?" Vermouth's rescuer said with venom in his voice. The remaining bullies backed away, frightened.
"If any of you ever touch her again, don't blame me if your corpses are being hauled away in garbage trucks." The tall boy said menacingly.
The bullies scurried away and Vermouth stared in awe as her rescuer walked to her quickly and pulled out some bandages from his pocket and with delicate care, he placed several bandages on her knees and elbows.
Vermouth stared at him while he put bandages on her and saw that he had big, cute, beautiful ocean blue eyes and they were full of concern and warmth.
After he was done, he gathered all the papers that had fallen from her bag and straightened them before putting it in her bag.
Vermouth felt herself blushing, her was heart beating insanely, the boy before her was not only handsome, he was caring, and he was the first person that showed her any shred of kindness besides her parents.
The boy then offered her his hand and Vermouth heard all the gasps and wails from the other girls. She took it and with no ease at all, he pulled her up.
Without letting go of her hand, he led her to an empty table with a book bag and seated her down.
The boy then pulled out a bottle of iced tea from his bag and handed it to her, Vermouth was stunned but summoned all her courage as she asked, "Why are you so kind to me? Everyone else is so mean to me."
The boy merely smiled, ignoring all the glances he got from the girls in the room and said, "The thing I despise the most is people picking on people weaker than they are."
Then he added, "By the way, I'm Chardonnay" and he stuck out his hand, "I'm Vermouth." Vermouth replied, taking his hand. "Cute, it suits you." Chardonnay said with a grin.
Vermouth felt herself blush and blushed deeper when he laughed and she was shocked to see the other girls, staring with dislike in their eyes.
"You seem to have many fans." Vermouth muttered. "Well, its not my fault I'm so damn irresistible.." Chardonnay said, brushing strands of his raven colored hair to the side, making every single girl swoon.
Vermouth too felt her cheeks burning, "He's so perfect in every single way…"
Memory ends abruptly
"Earth to Vermouth, Earth to Vermouth. You copy?" Chardonnay said, while waving his arms frantically in front of her face.
"Huh?" Vermouth responded. "You've been sitting their motionless for a bit now." Chardonnay said with a big grin on his face. "Oh sorry, I was thinking about stuff." Vermouth murmured.
"What kind of stuff?" Chardonnay pried. "None of your business." She scowled.
Chardonnay feigned hurt on his face, "Ouch, and to think we knew each other since we were ten."
Vermouth growled and pinched his ear, "Fine, if you must know, I was thinking about the first day we met. Satisfied?"
Chardonnay winced, "Wow, she really is in a bad mood today." He thought to himself, he smiled and responded, "Ah, it seemed like yesterday. That tight skirt was really cute."
That earned him a slap across the face, "You're disgusting." Vermouth muttered,
"Man, something is definitely wrong with this woman today." Chardonnay thought to himself. "What, I meant it as a compliment, you don't like it when I say you look cute?" Chardonnay asked but Vermouth did not
answer him, however he smiled when he saw her cheeks turning pink. "Okay, lets get down to business shall we?" Chardonnay said, laying out his file and begin plotting his plan. Vermouth was staring at him the whole
time, "Are you really that oblivious to my feelings?"
