Chapter 10

Just Don't Pretend You're Just A Friend

* We don't need to go nowhere tonight. It's you and I, we'll be alright. – Cashmerecat (Feat. Ariana Grande) – Adore

I opened my eyes, and the first thing that caught my attention is a pounding headache, the second thing is that I am not in my room.

Wait, what room is this?! I haven't been in here before! I immediately sat up from the bed and scanned the room. The whole room is light gray; the walls, the carpet, even the bed I'm sleeping in now.

I turned my head to the side to see Vanitas sleeping peacefully. Am I in his room?! But, he NEVER lets any girl in his room! This is bad! I must've snuck in! I have to get out of here!

I slowly got out of the bed and tiptoed towards the door. I then turned the doorknob as quietly as I could, but, of course, that failed! The doorknob made a HUGE clicking noise!

"Cagalli?" I heard Van's sleeping voice.

I felt my pulse speeding up. "Yeah?"

"Where are you going? Come back to bed." He yawned.

"You don't care that I'm in your room?"

"What are you talking about?" He groaned in annoyance. "I invited you in here last night… Wow, you don't remember anything."

I walked back to where he is laying and crawled back in bed. "Did we have sex last night?"

Vanitas snorted. "No, you passed out as soon as you laid here."

"Oh." I felt my face getting flustered.

"Ha, it's okay. I'm glad we slept in my room… My bed is a lot more comfortable than yours."

He is right, but I didn't want to admit it. "It's not THAT great…"

Vanitas pulled me closer to his body and wrapped his arms around me from behind. "Go back to sleep," he whispered in my ear and lightly bit it.

I felt my body getting hot… He knew all my weak spots, but sadly, I didn't know and of his. I closed my eyes and not too long I fell asleep from his warmth.

*~*~*My Complicated Crush*~*~*

A couple hours later and I woke up, but Vanitas wasn't by my side. I immediately got out of his bed to go look for him. I hope he didn't go anywhere! It's Friday, I didn't want to be alone all day.

As I looked around the house, Kairi came out of nowhere!

"AH!" I shouted out.

"It's me! Relax!" She cheered.

"YOU SCARED ME!" I scowled at her. "How did you get in here?"

"The front door… Was open." She stuttered. I started to grow suspicious…

"Oh?"

"Yeah." She giggled.

"You're acting EXTRA cheerful today…" I raised a brow at her.

"Well, I'm really in a good mood…"

"Uh-huh…"

"Um, we should do something today! It's Friday, you know!"

"Yeah, I don't want to sit in the house all day. What do you want to do?" I asked.

"Day drinking!" She beamed.

Well, my head doesn't hurt anymore, so I guess that would be a good idea… "Sure, let me shower and change!"

Kairi's eyes widened and she immediately shook her head. "No, no just change!"

"Kai, I need a shower…"

"No, no! Just change! You take forever to get ready!"

"Um, what's the rush?"

She scratched her head like she is thinking of an idea. "I just want to drink, that's all!"

"Okay, fine. Just hold on then." I rolled my eyes and went to my room to change.

I just threw on tight fitting sweats with a matching zip-up hoodie. I then combed my hair and applied only mascara (since Kairi keeps rushing me). As soon as I walked out of my bedroom, Kairi grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the house.

It's like she doesn't want me to be in this house for another second. She sure is acting strange…

*~*~*My Complicated Crush*~*~*

Kairi and I are at this Mexican restaurant, drinking margaritas and taking shots of cheap tequila. I always like to just drink with Kairi sometimes. She is always a fun drunk, so it's never boring when I hang out with her.

Before I took another shot, my cell phone started to ring. I checked to see who it was, and it was Zack. It just dawned on me that we promised each other to go on a date, but since Vanitas and I got close, I don't think I want to go now… Plus he was talking to his ex at that party…

"Who is that?" Kairi curiously asked.

"Zack…"

"Oh…"

"He's going to ask me about our date… I'll just say I'm sick!"

"Good idea." Kai nodded.

I finally picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey, Cagalli! What's up?" Zack sounded so cheerful and it is making my stomach hurt. I started to feel guilty.

"I'm in bed." I faked a cough. "I'm kind of sick…"

"Oh, no! You want me to come over and bring soup? I was going to ask you on a date tonight, but if you're sick…"

"Kairi is taking care of me, and it wouldn't be right if I got you sick, so let's postpone it, okay?"

"Um, alright…" Zack's voice trailed.

"I'm sorry." I bit my lip.

"No, it's cool. I'll catch you later then… Feel better."

"Bye!" I hung up the phone and sighed.

"Did he fall for it?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah, but I feel bad…"

"Well, you don't like him, so I get why you canceled…" Kairi shrugged. "Oh, you got to tell me about you and Vanitas!"

"Um, we… Kind… Of… Had… Sex…" I muttered.

"OH MY GOD!" Kairi yelled out, causing everyone in the small restaurant to stop and stare at us.

"Kai!" I glared at her.

"Sorry!" She apologized to everyone. "So, tell me details!" She whispered to me.

I took a deep breath and told her all that happened after Demyx's party till when I woke up in his room this morning. She didn't say a word until I finished my whole story.

She is so happy for me, but I couldn't help myself but worry… If he liked me so much wouldn't he of dumped Eva and those other two girls? Oh, and did he ever stop selling?! I still don't FULLY trust Vanitas yet…

"I should text him…" I whispered as I began to type on my phone. I am already feeling a little buzzed.

"THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA!" Kairi slapped my hand, which caused my phone to fall on the floor.

"Why not?" I snapped. "You are acting REALLY strange today!"

"No, I'm not!" She argued.

I picked up my phone and texted Vanitas anyways…

ME: What's up?

I waited, and waited, and waited. He hasn't texted me back, but it's only been a couple of minutes…

"He's probably busy with something…" Kai shrugged.

"With what? He never does anything on the weekends unless it's drinking…"

"I wouldn't sweat it. He's probably with Axel and Seifer…"

"Yeah…" I took a big gulp of my margarita.

Before Kairi and I started a new conversation, we heard Demyx's voice from the entrance of the restaurant. Kairi waved at Dem and he casually walked up to us at the bar area.

"What's up, ladies?!" He greeted us.

"Day drinking," Kairi answered.

"I see! How are you, Ms. Cagalli?" He ruffled my hair.

"I'm fine." I gently smiled at him.

He took a seat next to me and ordered us shots from the bartender. The three of us immediately downed the shots, and he ordered us another round! I didn't complain, though. I had no classes, my roommate is MIA, and I'm with my best friend Kairi, so I'm going to enjoy my Friday with these two!

*~*~*My Complicated Crush*~*~*

The three of us couldn't stop giggling. I felt the whole room spinning, and my body is numb. Yes, we are all drunk, but I love it!

We are also the loudest one's in the restaurant, but the waiters and bartenders didn't care! They loved us, actually.

Kairi looked at her phone and sighed.

"I have to call someone, be right back!" She slurred her words.

"Why can't you just call here?" I asked.

"It's personal…" She snapped.

"Oh, um sorry!" I felt bad I asked now…

She got up and went to the ladies room, leaving me alone with Demyx. He began to talk to me about all the crazy things that happened at his party; for only knowing Demyx for a short period of time, I was starting to warm up to him. I really liked him!

Before Demyx and I started a new conversation, Kairi came back, but her face is pale.

"What's wrong?" I shouldn't ask since she snapped at me when I tried to snoop, but she looks like she did something really bad.

"I might be in trouble," she muttered.

Before I could ask any more questions, the front door slammed open and there stood Vanitas with his arms crossed.

"Van?" I called out, but then I fell on the ground.

"Ha, she fell!" Demyx announced.

Vanitas approached us and scowled at Kairi "Why did you take her here? These waiters are perverts!"

"I didn't know!" She hissed.

"Wait, how did you know we were here, and why are you yelling at Kairi?" I slowly got up off the ground, but I lost my balance. Vanitas immediately grabbed me.

"Let's go home. Sora is outside waiting for you, Kai!" Vanitas sighed.

"Do you need a ride home, Demyx?" Kai asked.

"No, I walked here, so I'll be fine." He insisted.

"No, we'll take you home, let's go!" Kairi pulled Demyx by the arm.

I said my goodbyes to everyone once we were outside, and I lazily climbed in Van's car. Vanitas got in the passenger's side and rolled his eyes.

"Why didn't you answer my texts?" I whined.

"I was busy…" His voice trailed.

We rode the rest of the way home in silence. I wonder why Kairi was acting so strange, and I also wonder if she was talking to Vanitas on the phone when she went to the restroom?

I rubbed my temples because I felt very lightheaded. Vanitas put his hand on my head and began to massage my scalp.

This feels so good.

*~*~*My Complicated Crush*~*~*

I stumbled in the house, but my eyes widened when I saw the dining room table all decorated! There is a nice tablecloth with rose petals all over! There are also two wine glasses, a bottle of champagne in the middle of the table, and two plates with silverware next to them.

"What's this?" I asked.

"I thought to do something a little special for a crazy girl…" He smiled seductively.

"For me?" I felt tears well up. Vanitas has never does anything this romantic before…

"I just wanted to celebrate on me officially quitting…" Vanitas smirked.

"Quitting?"

"Me selling, silly!"

"You stopped selling!" My heart did a front flip inside me. I jumped on him and gave him a big hug. "Thank you…"

"It's nothing…" Vanitas lightly chuckled. "Now, sit down. I cooked us some stuff…"

"You cooked? Oh, well this is a special occasion!" I sat down at the table with my shoulders back. I am truly proud of Vanitas!

*~*~*My Complicated Crush*~*~*

"Wow, you should be a chief, Vanitas!" I praised with a mouthful of steak.

Vanitas cooked us six-ounce Sirloin steak, dirty mashed potatoes (My favorite), and cooked broccoli.

I knew Vanitas can cook, but he really outdid himself this time. Vanitas finally told me why Kairi was acting so strange, and it was because she was ordered by him to get me out of the house so Seifer, Axel, Sora, and himself can prepare for tonight.

I couldn't ask for a better meal, to be honest.

"Are you just saying that because you're drunk?" He started to chug his glass of champagne.

It's true that everything I eat is good when I'm drunk, but this meal here is to die for, sober or not.

"No, this is really good! You outdid yourself! Oh, maybe that should be your next job!"

"Being a chief?" Vanitas pondered the thought then shook his head. "Eh, I would be a butcher over that, any day…"

"A butcher… Yeah, I can see you being that!" I agreed. I can totally see Vanitas with blood all over himself from cutting up a cow!

"Really?" Vanitas questioned.

"Of course! You should defiantly be a butcher!" I giggled.

"Alright, if you think I can do it… Then I'll try."

After talking about Vanitas' future job, we finished our meals and Vanitas left me for a good minute to go into the kitchen.

I wanted to see what he is up to, but he told me to stay here. I wish I was sobering up, but it was my fault for drinking too many drinks at the Mexican bar, plus I drank about five glasses of champagne.

Vanitas came back in the room with two bowls full of vanilla ice cream, and they both had one huge brownie sticking out. He set a bowl down in front of me, and my mouth began to salivate. The ice cream is melting fast from the warm brownie.

"This looks really good, Vanitas!" I kept staring at his homemade dessert.

"Try it."

I took a big spoon full and it tasted really sweet from the brownie, but it wasn't rich because the vanilla cooled the flavor.

I am in heaven.

"Yum!" I took another spoon full.

"Glad you like it."

We ate our desserts in silence. I am enjoying every bite I took from this dessert. I know for a fact that I will lick this bowl clean.

*~*~*My Complicated Crush*~*~*

Vanitas and I are cuddling in his room. I couldn't help myself but hold him tight; I am honestly surprised he didn't protest.

"You're warm," I whispered.

"Yeah…" He moved a strand of my hair away from my face.

"I can stay like this all night."

Vanitas lightly chuckled. "Actually we are going to be doing something else." His tone sounded seductive…

I gulp. "What do you mean?"

"I want to try something I never tried with anyone before…" He stared deep into my eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"I want to tie you up and have my way with you…" He stated.

I haven't been tied up before, but it sounds like fun. I wouldn't mind it actually. "Okay."

"Wait, really?" Van's eyes widened.

"Yeah, why not?"

Vanitas immediately let go of me to get out of bed. He then went to his dresser to fish out something…

I went to look over his shoulder, but he yelled at me to stay in his bed. I rolled my eyes as he pulled out shiny handcuffs.

"You defiantly have done this before!" I huffed.

"I just bought these this morning…" He laughed while he walked up to me. He forcefully unzipped my hoodie and threw it to the side. He then unhooked my bra and tossed it next to my hoodie.

He didn't hesitate to handcuff one of my wrists, forcing my body to move closer to the bed frame. He then looped the other side of the handcuffs and handcuffed my other wrist.

My arms are above my head, and I couldn't move out of them… The handcuffs are on too tight. I am connected to the bedpost, but I couldn't help myself but grow hot from this new experience.

"Don't move." He grinned at me wickedly.

"Um, I kind of can't…"

He then went back to his dresser to fish something else out. I began to ask him what else he is looking for, but, of course, he ignored me.

What else would he need? He already had me handcuffed… He pulled out a black blindfold.

Oh, no! I don't want to be blindfolded!

"No, no. No!" I whined.

"Why?" He hovered over me.

"I won't be able to see…"

Vanitas sighed. "That's kind of the point…"

"But, it's scary…"

"I promise you I won't do anything that will make you uncomfortable," he said sweetly. "Please trust me…"

I took a deep breath and nodded. "Fine."

Vanitas hurried and blindfolded me, and obviously, I couldn't see anything! I heard his footsteps leaving the room, and I began to freak. I called his name over and over again, but he finally answered me.

"I left for a second, chill," he whispered.

I felt the pressure of the bed, guessing Vanitas is now on the bed with me. I then felt his hands roughly pulling down my pants along with my underwear. I am now completely naked in front of him.

There is a long pause until I felt something unbearably cold on my stomach. Is that an ice cube? I felt cold water dripping down there… I couldn't help but tremble from this insane touch.

"Does it feel good?" I heard him ask.

"It feels strange." My teeth began to chatter from my body growing numb and cold.

I felt the ice cube against my right breast for a while then he switched towards the left. He is circling the ice cube against them until they grew very numb. He then moved the ice cube around my neck, down my stomach… Until…

"Oh!" I moaned.

He had it down there! It felt weird… I couldn't tell if I am turned on or just cold. He moved it up and down on my clit, and I bucked my hips up.

Yeah, it felt good…

I heard the bed shift more, and I moaned out when I felt his cold tongue ring down there. He began to lick up and down… He then stuck his tongue inside me and began to pump in and out of me. I moved my hips up and down in sync with his tongue.

I felt him smirk against me as he continued to lick.

"Vanitas…" I whispered.

He stopped and I felt him crawling closer to my face. There is a long pause, so I couldn't tell where he is.

"Open," he commanded.

I did as he says and he lightly pushed his length inside my mouth. I didn't hesitate to lick it. I moved my tongue around the length and I heard him moan in satisfaction.

My tongue swirled around his metal piercing and I guess it is one of his weak spots because he bucked his hips for me, urging me to keep going. I kept circling my tongue around it for a little while then started to bob my head back and forth.

"God, this feels good, Cagalli…"

I kept going and going until he violently pulled out of my mouth. I heard the bed rocking. I couldn't wait any minute; he needs to be inside me…

I then felt his length circling around me, and he slowly pushed himself in me. I bucked my hips to meet with every thrust. We both panted as he kept going.

He is going way too fast, but I loved it. The whole bed is squeaking from him moving back and forth. I felt my release approaching as he slammed into me.

After a couple more thrusts, I threw my head back and I successfully reached my limit.

"Already?" He asked teasingly.

I felt my face turning red as I heard the bed shift more.

"Raise your hips up!" He ordered.

I did as he says, and I felt his body under me.

How did he get under me so fast?!

"Spread your legs," Vanitas whispered.

I did as he says and felt him inside me yet again. He began to pump in and out of me. I tried not to cry out, but I couldn't help it.

He started to lick up and down my neck and I felt like I am losing control. He is going super fast, I didn't know how much more I could take.

He playfully bit my ear, making me yell out in pure lust.

"I'm close," he grunted in my ear.

He increased his pace, and I felt my wrists growing numb from them rubbing against the handcuffs. This is an awkward position for me, but it felt so right…

After a couple more thrusts, we released together. We both tried to catch our breaths, and I felt Vanitas getting off the bed. He then took the blindfold off of me, and I blinked a couple of times because the light is blinding me.

"So, did you like it?" He asked.

"Yeah, it was fun, but Vanitas?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm tying you up next time!"
