Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or the types of kisses, but I did make some myself (not any in this chapter... sorry.)

Recap:

"I'll pick you up for the beach trip tomorrow," he replied, looking like a kid who was about to get in trouble. Kairi just crossed her arms and smirked. The door shut and Sora turned to Namine.

"What do you think he did? I haven't seen Kairi this determined since the last time I forgot Valentine's Day…"

Casual?

Chapter 10: Let's Play Tag! You Just Wanna Run Away From Me…

"You're really not going to tell me what you said to Roxas?" asked Namine, incredulously.

Kairi sighed for the millionth time that day as Sora just looked clueless. They had already gone to the watermelon patch and picked out 15 good watermelons, some to eat and some to smash. Namine never stopped poking Kairi for information, but Kairi didn't budge.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you later when Kairi tells me…" Sora tried to whisper, but failing.

"You won't do such thing, because you just proved that I can't tell you either!" Kairi snapped. "This was a matter between me and Roxas, and you two don't need to know. I didn't spill any secrets, so it's not your business. Okay, so we were talking about Namine's business, but that doesn't mean you have the right to know."

"Namine's business? What Namine business?" Sora asked, while Namine smacked her forehead. "Are you guys fighting or something?"

Kairi looked like she barely got out of trouble while Namine felt like she missed a bullet. How could they forget that Sora was in the car? No one was supposed to know about the deal…

"You're so cute I'll take you to the fair.And I won't let my roommate run over you with the lawn mower.I can't deny you got it going on.And I know that my feelings for you cannot be wrong…" the radio sang.

"Oh, oh! Kairi, turn it up! This is me and Namine's song!" said an overly excited Sora, completely forgetting the previous confusion.

Kairi laughed at his behavior, Namine raising an eyebrow at her, wondering how how she could find this goofball the mature romantic man that she told her oh-so much about. However, she didn't think too much on it because Sora had been right. This was their special song.

"My baby watermelon…OH! My baby watermelon…My baby watermelon… OH! My baby watermelon… I'm in love!" the two friends sang loudly, pointing at each other and Kairi in between and making funny faces.

"You've become my summer crush… I keep checking out the garden I can't get enough… I set you aside… So you would not be confused… With all the other vegetables cause you are my fruit!"

Sora sang the loudest, petting the huge watermelon sitting on Namine's lap as the song went on. Namine and Kairi burst with laughter. Namine, in turn, decided to stop worrying and just enjoy the summer day with two of her friends.

The next morning came and Namine regretted not packing the last couple of days. She quickly made sure that she shaved her legs, put on her bathing suit under her clothes(in case Riku decided to throw her into the ocean again), and had packed extra shirts and undies (long story) before looking for finer details. She looked back at the clock when she was about halfway done to see that Roxas would be over in about 2 minutes to pick her up and get the rest of the boys. They always rode together, but Namine seriously thought about asking Xion to get her since she was really patient and Namine wasn't done packing.

Too soon, the doorbell rang and Namine ran to the door.

"Hey, you ready?" asked Roxas, the second the door opened.

However, something sparked in Namine when she looked at her friend. She had no idea what it was, but she felt like she shouldn't make this so easy. Sure, they were friends, but Roxas was only picking her up first because he couldn't stand it when Riku was in shotgun. He always lowered his window and shouted corny pickup lines at girls' cars as they drove by. Namine turned to her room and got back with packing.

"Hey, you okay? You look a bit pissed, like your getting the short end of the stick…" Roxas said, poking her stuffed animal her bed.

Namine smiled her fake smile and turned away from the idiot. She wasn't blushing, nor did she look angry. Actually, she carefully kept her face like a mask.

"I have a few things to grab before we can go. Sorry," she said, shortly.

Roxas nodded, sitting on her bed.

Namine went around her room, trying to busy herself while Roxas stared at her. She hated that feeling of being under someone's glaze, but she kept at it. She refused to be tricked into telling what was bothering her. Namine moved over to the bed quickly to grab her brush, when Roxas was right beside her.

She could feel him, leaning in so closely. Namine felt herself get sucked into the pulsing aura, wanting nothing more than to press herself against him and feel his soft lips against hers again.

However, she quickly hopped over to the other side of the room. Roxas simply looked at her and she didn't say a word, noting how Roxas looked a bit troubled. He raised an eyebrow at her, giving her a puppy pouting face. Namine just went back to what she was doing, smiling at herself.

This was kinda fun…

Again and again, it happened. Namine would be cornered, Roxas would try to make contact, and Namine would gracefully slide out of his grasp. It wasn't long before Roxas understood her game and was actually trying to grab her to make her stay still. To which she would just slip out of his grasp again and again.

Namine laughed out loud at Roxas' frustrated expression. He glared and released a small growl, trying to chase after her, and she jumped on her bed and ran into the kitchen.

"What's wrong, Roxas? Not getting what you want?" taunted Namine, on top of the counter.

"Oh, you know what I want," replied Roxas, as he crossed over to her.

He quickly grabbed her to kiss her, when she ducked down and wiggled herself out of his grasp smoothly.

"I'm not sure I do," Namine said, putting on a playful concentration face. She sidestepped him again.

It was like a dance, the way that she'd slip out of his embrace when he thought he finally caught his prize. Unfortunately, the kitchen was small. Namine felt the counter was just a couple of fingertips away from her back. Roxas made to grab her again.

"Maybe you're not trying hard enough?" mocked Namine, trying to move again.

However, Roxas knew better. He gripped her shoulders and pushed her back against the counter a bit roughly. She could feel that he sandwiched her between the counter and the pantry. She pouted, being beaten at her own game. Roxas didn't care.

"Maybe I am…" he whispered.

He roughly, before Namine could escape again, pressed his lips against hers in a swift motion. Namine thought that was going to be it, but she was completely wrong.

Roxas pushed himself closer to her, his hands pinning her arms against the pantry and his knee separating her legs. There was no space between their bodies, and in turn, no space between the counter and Namine's back. She felt squished with his knees pressing against her, but Roxas wasn't taking any chances. As their kiss got more and more fierce, he quickly lifted her up and pressed her against the pantry so that they were the same height.

Even when he was rough, he was still gentle. Namine could feel his soft lips part and his tongue graze her bottom lip. She was hesitated at first, feeling like all he was doing was hurting her pride, but in the end, she opened her mouth a bit. You would've thought he hadn't seen her in years; she could feel his tongue glaze over her tongue and teeth as he kissed her hungrily, his fingers grazing her sides and back.

Namine's body shivered; she remembering the last time he went touchy feely on her. However, this time, she didn't seem to care much about that.

Namine was more confused, but decided to worry about it later as she kissed him back. This just seemed to excite him more as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs automatically wrapped around his middle to keep from falling. Roxas' hands still traced her outline, running his fingers down her back to her thighs, while Namine's reached through his hair.

Namine didn't know how long they had been at it, but it was she who came up for air first. Roxas didn't mind; he was breathless also. Both we're breathing heavily in each other's faces as they tried to collect their thoughts. Namine kept her eyes down as she loosely held Roxas' arms to keep balance. Roxas leaned his head against her forehead, watching her catch her breath.

"What was that about?" he asked softly.

Namine took a deep breath and bit down on her bottom lip, not sure how to explain herself. She could feel Roxas' hair move across her forehead as he turned his head, impatient for her answer. When she stayed silent but tried to get off him, Roxas pressed himself closer to her and held her legs to his waist.

"Tell me…" he whispered. "I'm not letting you down until you tell me…"

Namine sighed as one of his hands caressed the side of her face. "I didn't like…" she started, pausing to collect her thoughts.

"You didn't like…?"

"I didn't like how you went on a date with Olette the other night," she said honestly. Roxas continued to look at her with gentle eyes, stroking her jaw and cheek. "That's what's bothering me."

"Why would that bother you?" Roxas asked, staring in her eyes to get her to fess up.

Namine started to chew on her bottom lip again, looking to the left. She never thought it would be so hard to tell the truth to Roxas, her best friend. Maybe she didn't trust him after all…

"Can't we just drop it?" asked Namine, finally looking at Roxas.

He just sighed and leaned forward, his nose tracing her neck. Roxas shook his head. "Let me know what's on your mind."

"Okay, first, you're not being fair because you know what you're doing is distracting me and making me spill my guts…" Namine said, completely honestly and breathlessly. Roxas chuckled, his warm breath tickling her neck and making her dizzy. "Second, don't you think it's, I don't know… strange that you're being so touchy feely with me now…but…but you're seeing Olette? It's cheating on your part, and I was first…"

"Ah ha, so that's what bothering you…You're jealous."

Namine raised an eyebrow. "I don't believe I said that."

Roxas took a deep breath and leaned back so he could look at her again. "Look, I took Olette out for a pity-party date. She was upset when Hayner ended it with her so I took her to the movies and then we went to The Plaza," he said, casually. "She just wanted someone to listen to her and actually, I needed someone to listen to me too. We didn't do anything…"

Namine sighed, feeling stupid at blowing up something so simple. Kairi and Sora were rubbing off on her. She ran a hand through her hair. "Great…"

"Nami, you know I wouldn't hurt you right?"

She looked back at Roxas, making complete eye contact. She wasn't sure what she was looking for, but whatever it was, she found it. Namine grinned. She knew now that she trusted Roxas completely… it was herself that she didn't trust.

"I know," she started. "Sorry for avoiding you lately…"

"Its okay, but I think we shouldn't date anyone while we're still doing this dare… I know that if you were seeing someone, I'd probably get jelly too…" laughed Roxas.

"I wasn't jealous!" Namine said incredulously. "I just don't want to be viewed as an actual slut! It's one thing to joke about it, it's another to live it…Now that everything's resolved, can you put me down?"

"I guess…" Roxas said, gently lowering her to the ground but not letting her go. "By the way, you want my opinion?"

"Not really…" muttered Namine, rolling her eyes.

"The chase? That was fun…" he said, smirking at her. He leaned to her, his lips two breaths shy of her swollen ones. "Especially when I caught you..."

Namine smiled, "I'm glad you thought so…" her lips barely brushing his. "Cause even though I'm on board with kissing you, it doesn't mean that I'm going to make it easy," she finished, brushing her lips on his cheekbone without firmly kissing him leaving the ghost of her lips in his memory.

She suddenly pulled back and went into her room to grab all her stuff. "You ready?"

Roxas recovered from his shock before grinning. "Sure."

Namine opened the house door before walking out to the car. "Oh, and before we pick up everyone else," she said, turning around to face him. "You should know that we can't work on the dare while on the trip… So no trying to be sneaky."

"No teasing me, then," Roxas countered, smirking at her.

Namine smiled sweetly. "Would I ever?" she asked, turning around and putting on her sunglasses and walking out in the sun. 'Yes, yes I would…' she thought, thinking about all the fun everyone was going to have.

A/N- Okay! Wow... that was a lot of description...

So I didn't update right away, cause this chapter was actually the "big moment." You know, when you write a story, and you see a scene, right smack dab in the middle of the story and everything is gonna get a whole lot more interesting and fun and drama from that point? Thats the "big moment" so you could imagine why I'm so nervous about posing it... I've actually had this typed up 9 months ago, but I had to change some minor details and write the whole beginning. lol So what do you think? Enough Roxas and Namine for you? Well, get ready, theres a lot more where that comes from! I keep mentioning this beach trip for a reason! :D

Don't forget to leave a guess(for the contest... seriously, I'm starting to think you all gave up!), vote at my profile (the prize!), and let me know what you're most excited about for the beach trip!
