She was blackmailed?

Chapter x: Kissing the right guy?

Stella doesn't react to that question anymore, she looks as if she has given up hope a long time ago.

"I did not give up." She suddenly flares up vehemently. I gaze at her, shocked. Her eyes soften immediately and she whispers "I just… wanted to move on. She'll turn up. She has to." She looks to the ground, too emotional to proceed. "Anyway…" she puts on an astounding smile again. "in the meanwhile, I have my hands full with you. Wanna find out if you're my long-lost bff? Come with me next weekend, we're going on a group date!" she makes it sound like a cheery add for Poptarts.

"Can I bring someone?" Her eyelids flutter twice, almost unnoticeable. She's surprised. She lets out an agreeable tingling chuckle as she hears my unexpected request.

"Off course, but…who?"

"Never mind." I suddenly realize it would be a really bad idea.

"That… is a very wise decision. But seriously, who would you bring?

"I met someone at the Gala last week. Perhaps you know him, the count of Wehrinde?"

"Alistair de Bourgh" she nods."Oho I know perfectly who you mean." She nods again, almost disparagingly.

"Lady Clarissa introduced us and… I felt as if I really knew him. I think I was his girlfriend." Stella's eyes are bulging out right now.

"Relax, Stell, or you eyeballs will fall out of their sockets."

"Whoa! Slow down! What? How?"

" I have these images of the past that keep coming, when they're triggered. You could call them flashbacks. Anyhow, when he touched me, I remembered something about him."

"He touched you? In a 'hi-I'm-Alistair-nice-to-meet-you-way? or was it more like 'hey, you're hot, I want sex?"

"He did not want sex."

She looks at me gravely as if she's a about to divulge why men roams the earth.

"Bloom, all men want sex. Even that cute little toothpaste-add of yours."

"Scarlett." She pronounces the name slowly.

"All men want sex." I smile happily. Suddenly she leaps to her feet, throwing her magnificent shiny hair back and winks.

"I suppose I won't tell Sky about this." She glances at the ceiling. "He'd be devastated."

"I'm not going to pretend to be her in order to placate the prince." She's already one foot out of the door.

"Right." The blonde smiles patronizingly, as if she's aware of something and I'm not. "Saturday. We'll send a servant to knock on your room."

I smile weakly, immediately yanked out of the dream and realizing I'm still merely a servant, too. I decide to take a walk and shut the door behind me with a sigh.

As I enter the piece, I sense something is different right away. Indeed, when I glance at my bed, I notice a package, which I open slowly. It contains a brand new cell phone and a note, signed by 'my boyfriend'.

Hu.

Sky? My stomach flips. Stop flipping! I'm not a dolphin.

RIIIIIING!

Jesus Christ, that thing nearly gave me a heart attack. I think I just jumped in the air. I pick up and say abruptly into the receiver: "Scarlett speaking."

"Hi hon, how do you like my gift?" No.

"I like it very much Alistair, thank you. why?" I ask curtly.

"Wanna meet?" I don't know.

"Sure." I lie. "When?"

"Open your door." I jerk it open, expecting to see him there like in one of those cheesy chick flicks. I turn around, closing the door and I bump into something.

"Alistair!" I exclaim, taken aback. Or someone. "How did you…? Never mind." He smiles naughtily.

"So…" His eyes meet mine, but then they glide to a lower area, around my blouse.

"Alistair!" I cry out again, laughing at his silliness. Yeah, they do want sex, Stell.

"What?" he inquires ingenuously. "I'm just glad to see my girlfriend again." He gives me a quick, chaste peck on the lips to prove his good intentions and walks over to the bed. "Shouldn't we…" he stretches out on the red silk sheets "Celebrate?" So far with the gentleman-act.

"No!" I smile, plopping down next to him. "We should talk."

"But talking is boring." He pouts and starts peppering kisses on my neck.

God that feels good.

I grin, gently pushing him of.

"Alistair, behave." I admonish in a fake severe tone."

"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, I could wait."

"Baby, if I didn't know any better I'd think you're afraid."

"Hell I am." He shouts and starts tickling me.

"Oooh." He smirks innocently. "But I'm behaving extremely well, you know." He whispers, pushing me down softly.

He slowly reaches op to my head again, leaving a trail of kisses behind him. I shove him off and jump on top of him, surprising him. He arches an eyebrow not-understanding.

"You didn't think I'd let you have all the fun, did you?" I ask innocently, making him gasp as my lithe fingers find their way to his boxers.

"You see?" he says, in between covering my collarbones with kisses. "I am very nice." My arms snake around his neck, tugging at his collar as I let him crawl on top of me eagerly. His hand caresses my cheek, but quickly moves away to discover new territories. He unbuttons my blouse (like a pro, I have to admit) and unclasps my bra after I pulled his shirt off.

"You see?" he asks again, speaking with a lower voice as he starts palming my breasts wildly.

"And what are you up too?" I ask suspiciously as he slides down with his hands. He start rubbing circles between my thighs, making me whimper. I'm not sure what he does next but…

"Holy mother of God!" I cry out aroused.

"Oh yes… very nice."

I let my eyelids flutter in excitement and when he flops down next to me again I ask, stunned.

"Where the hell did you learn that, Sky?"

My eyes flash open.

Sky.

A/N: someone's being a naughty girl. Oh! Did she just dream about having sex with Sky? Or did she really have sex with him? I know a way to find out!

Angelgrl31392: is it any good, what I've come up with in the last chapters? Or is it getting absurd. Sorry for the delay, but hey, you get TWO brand new chapters (for the price of 1!)

Winxprincess: what's creaming soda? Why don't I know that? I suppose it must be very good if you can get high on it. Where do I buy it? :D Two chapters! Yay (but late I know-- me very sorry)

Winxrocks4me: interesting profile. .. how exactly is it possible that you're not sure of your name?

Destanation's d e s t i n y: okay! Sorry, but I just found out. Your feet ached? What'd you do? Walk a marathon? Went rock-climbing? Another flashback in this chapter and in the previous one: VERY nice flashbacks, even if I say it myself ( I need some self-assurance, as you might have noticed) You must lead an extremely interesting life, being confused all the time. Quirky. x3
