Maka was cuddled up against Soul, her fingers splayed against his chest. He rubbed her back gently as they looked up at the skylight in their room.
"Hey, Maka?" Soul asked.
"Yeah?" Maka replied.
"Are you going to tell me what your plan is?"
"For what?"
"For Noah."
Maka smiled at him. "Why do you wanna know so bad? And on our last night in New York."
"I'm just curious." Soul said before kissing her on the head. "So, what do you have planned?"
"It's nothing really spectacular. I'm just going to sue him. The only tricky part is finding all the women that were signed onto his publication house. If he tried what he did with me, he most likely has done this with other girls, and probably against their wishes. Which is technically rape. Which is a crime. And if I can get other girls to admit what had happened, it won't be long until he loses everything. But that's a pretty big if. And if that doesn't work…"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I can just hire someone to beat him up for me." Maka smiled, snuggling up to him more. Soul smirked.
"Why waste your money?" Soul asked. "I'll do it for free."
"That's good to know." Maka smiled. "So, are you up for another go?"
"Sure I am." Soul said. "Anything for my angel." He said as he climbed on top of her and started kissing down her neck.
The next day, Maka and Soul met up with Wes as the airport. He gave them a smile.
"So, I just called Yumi, and she said everything was going perfectly. She'll give you a call pretty soon to give you the stats of the book. But she's pretty confident it will be a pretty good. One of the company's best."
Maka gave a huge smile, and gave Wes a huge hug. "Thank you so much Wes. You helped me out so much."
"Well thank, but you should really be thanking Soul." Wes said. Maka pulled apart.
"I already thanked him three times last night." She said with a wink. Wes blushed a little and looked at Soul, who just smirked and shrugged.
"She did." He said simply.
Wes cleared his throat nervously. "W-well… I guess you should be on your way…" He said. Maka gave an innocent smile, while Soul just gave his brother a quick hug before they ran off to the plane. Wes just shook his head.
"Those two…"
The trip seemed faster the second time around. Maybe it was because they slept pretty much the whole trip back. Unlike last time, Soul was the first to wake up, and he shook Maka awake, telling them that they were home.
"Already…?" Came her simple reply. She rubbed her eyes, and stretched a little.
"Yeah, already." Soul chuckled.
They landed peacefully, and they slowly got out of the plane, got their luggage, and was met by their group of friends.
"Finally!" Black Star exclaimed. "How dare you keep a god like me waiting!"
"Shut up, Black Star." Soul said.
"Who cares about that?" Patty said. "You brought us presents, right? You told me you were going to bring us presents, and that's what I've been waiting on for since the moment I woke up!"
Liz looked at her sister. "Geez, Patty… Can you wait until they are here for like five seconds?"
"But, I want my present!" Patty almost screamed.
"Okay, okay!" Maka said soothingly. "Let's just head over to our place and we can dish out the presents!"
"Yay!" Patty cried, jumping up and down like a five year old. The group headed over to Soul and Maka's apartment, and they emptied out the gift bag.
"First…"
"ME! I'm first!" Black Star said loudly. "A god ALWAYS goes before the commoners!"
Maka gave a disgusted sigh. "Fine. Black Star, we got you a basketball from the Globetrotter's game. We went the night before we left." She said with a smile before she handed Black Star his present.
"AWESOME!" Black Star yelled.
"Me next!" Patty said.
Maka pulled out a big stuffed giraffe. "We got this from the Lion King. I saw it and I immediately thought of you. And for Liz…" Maka said, pulling out a designer shirt. "I went shopping with Soul's mom, and we bought this for you. I hope it's the right size…"
"Don't worry, chick." Liz said with a smile. "I'll make it fit!"
"Tsubaki," Maka smiled. "we got you this." She said as she pulled out a very delicate looking, Japanese style comb. It looked very authentic. "We went to Chinatown, and I found a traditional Japanese jewelry maker. I used my awesome Japanese speaking skills, and I got her to sell this to me. I hope you like it."
Tsubaki smiled. "It's just like one I had when I was little. I always loved it, but I lost it."
"Well, isn't that lucky? She said it was a remake of something she found a long time ago in Japan. The other one broke, but she liked it so much, she made one exactly like it." Maka smiled.
"And for Kid," Soul said. "I found you some perfectly symmetrical shades that actually look cool. Plus, they're the genuine article."
"Well… thank you…" Kid said slowly. Maka smiled at her friends.
"So, do you guys like them?"
"Of course!" Liz said. "Thanks for thinking about us! So, now to thank you, us girls are going out, and leaving the boys to play… basketball or something stupid like that."
"Hey! Basketball isn't stupid!" Black Star exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's definitely not stupid to run up and down a court bouncing a ball for hours and hours." Liz said. "I can't believe you guys ever talked me into that stupid sport."
"That was before you became a girl…" Soul said.
Liz glared at Soul. "Shut up, Soul. No one asked you." With that, Liz and Patty stole Maka and Tsubaki away from the boys, and decided to take a walk around the city.
"So, other than the amazing shopping, and the awesome Broadway show, how was the trip?" Liz asked, grabbing on to Maka's arm.
"Oh, we really didn't do much. We spent most of the week hanging out with Wes. He showed us all the different places to go. One of the days, Mrs. Evans even joined us. I never really knew her when I was younger, and Soul never really took the opportunity to introduce her to me. She was really nice, and was excited to find out that Soul and I were dating. She took me away from the boys, and then she took me on a shopping spree. It was a little uncomfortable…" Maka explained.
"Sounds so fun!" Patty said. "And how was the sex?"
Maka blushed and smiled. "Amazing." She said simply. "And we had a skylight in the room, so it was like we were under the stars."
"Okay. That's it." Liz said. "I'm getting a boyfriend."
Tsubaki looked at Liz questioningly. "How can you just randomly decide that you're going to have a boyfriend?"
Liz gave a chuckle. "Have you seen me? I'm hot. I can have a guy just like that." She said with a snap. The rest of the girls just giggled.
"So, I'm guessing that his mom and brother see you as part of the family, now?"
"I guess." Maka shrugged with a smile.
"So, I guess the only question left is, have you told your dad yet?"
"Are you kidding me? He would kill Soul. And then if he found out that I was having sex with him, he'd kill us both." Maka sighed.
"But that's the fun part!" Patty laughed happily.
"It most certainly is not fun." Maka said. "He always calls at the wrong moments, making spending time together hard. And then, he always makes surprise visits to my house, and thus pushing the calls, so I have to make up stupid stories to explain why I'm not at home."
"Have you told your mom?"
Maka nodded. "I told her about us the day after we got together. She was excited, saying things like she knew we would get together. What made it awkward was when she asked if we had had sex. I couldn't lie to her, but then she asked what it was like…" She said blushing.
The group of girls laughed. "Well, you know, it's only a matter of time. He's going to find out eventually."
"I'll figure out a way to tell him." Maka said. "Somehow…"
Maka got back to the house, and found Soul at their apartment by himself. She looked around and plopped down beside Soul.
"Where did Kid and Black Star go?" She asked.
"To play basketball. I told them I was tired from the jetlag, so I just stayed here."
Maka smiled and moved on top of Soul. "Then do you wanna have some fun?" She asked seductively. Soul smirked before Maka placed her lips on his. He ran his fingers up Maka's bare leg, making her shiver a little bit. They switched positions and Soul laid Maka on her back on the couch. He reached up her skirt, and played with her panties. She smiled against his lips. He felt her go to her neck and start sucking.
"Now we can mark the couch off of our list…" Maka whispered.
Soul chuckled against her skin and unlatched himself from her neck and pulled her shirt off, and in another swift motion, he ripped her bra off, leaving her without any covering on her torso. She gasped as the air hit her, making her nipples go hard. He always loved when that happened. He leaned down and let his tongue play with her hardened nipple. She moaned in pleasure as he continued.
She felt him kiss down her torso when he was done with her breast, and she could only imagine what he had planned. She heard his pants being undone, and her tip off was the zipper. Then she felt her panties being pulled off and heard a soft thud from somewhere else in the room. Then, she held onto the arm of the couch, bracing herself for sweet ecstasy.
Maka felt her lover thrust inside her, and she moaned in delight. Then she felt herself being lifted to the upright position by him. He started to move inside her, dancing against her walls, making her call out his name.
"Tell me what you want, Maka." Soul said seductively. Maka tried again, and again through her gasps, but couldn't with his thrusts.
"I- I want…" Maka tried.
"What…? I can't hear you." Soul smirked, starting to pick up speed.
"I want you to keep going…!" Maka said. "Finish me!"
Soul's smirk grew and he got even faster. He felt her muscles clench around him, and he knew she was at her moment. He released inside her as her body was wracked with her orgasm. She called out his name in her orgasm. She fell back on the soft couch, and was breathing heavy. Soul was looking down on her body, and leaned back over her kissing her passionately, letting his hands running over her body.
And then something broke the mood.
"Soul?" A voice called. "Open up the door, you punk!"
Maka sighed and looked at him. "I don't want to open the door…"
"And you think I do?" Soul asked.
"Then let's not." Maka said. "Let's just go to sleep. Hopefully he'll go away…"
"I know you're home! You're bike is outside!" Spirit yelled. "And I'm going to stay here until you answer the door!"
"Thank God he didn't see my car…" Maka said. Soul got off of her and let her grab her shirt, ripped bra and panties, and padded off to their room. Soul zipped up his pants, and found his shirt before answering the door.
"Yes, Spirit?"
"That's Mr. Albarn to you." Spirit seethed. "And the only reason I'm here is because I can't find Maka, and she won't answer her phone."
"Oh, she's crashing here. We got back and she's got a little bit of jet lag. But I honestly think that you two should have a talk when she gets up." Soul said.
"She's HERE?" Spirit asked, horrified. "MAKA! SWEETHEART!"
Maka jumped as she tried to find some new panties and quickly pulled her shirt back on. She did her best to look tired, and slowly stepped out of the room.
"Papa, what are you doing here?" Maka asked harshly.
"I just wanted to see you, darling!" Spirit cried, hugging his daughter. Maka pushed him off of her, and glared at him.
"I was taking a nap, Papa! And YOU woke me up!"
"B-but… Soul said that we needed to talk about something!"
"We can do it later!" Maka said. "I'm tired now!"
"… Fine… But I'm staying here until you wake up again."
Maka sighed. "Whatever. I'm going back to sleep." She said, reluctantly going back to her workroom. She plopped on the bed that was still located there. She felt like she was in a stranger's room, like something was off. She knew it was because she had gotten used to sleeping with Soul in his room.
"Guess I'll just have to get used to it for now…" She said before drifting off to sleep.
Spirit parked his butt right on the couch. Soul hid a snicker, seeing as Spirit was completely unaware of what had happened two minutes before.
"I'm going to go take a nap myself. Feel free to use the TV, and you can eat whatever's in the fridge, if there is anything in there."
About an hour later, Maka woke up from her nap, and groggily made her way back out to the living room. There sat Spirit, still waiting like he said he would be.
"You're awake!" Spirit said happily. "Now we can have that talk!
"What talk?"
"The one you said we'd have after you woke up."
Maka sighed. So this is how he was going to find out, huh? "Okay." She said, sitting next to him. "Well, you're probably not going to like what I'm about to say, so just brace yourself."
"… Okay…" Spirit said nervously.
"Soul and I… we moved in together about a month ago…" Maka said carefully. "And about a week after we moved in together, we started dating…"
"… What?"
"WE. ARE. DATING." Maka said slowly. After a minute, Spirit shot up.
"I'm going to kill that little shit!" Spirit seethed. Maka grabbed Spirit's arm and pulled him back down. He always got surprised by her strength.
"You are not going to kill my boyfriend. I'm old enough to have a boyfriend. I'm old enough and responsible enough to live with a member of the opposite sex." Maka explained.
"Dammit…" Spirit said. "I knew this was going to happen. I knew from the first moment I met him. I knew you two would get together. That's why I hated him so much… I knew he was going to take you… And now it's finally happened…" He started crying. "How could you Maka? Why would you leave your Papa!" Spirit cried, clinging onto Maka.
"I'm not leaving you. I'm just having a relationship with someone I've liked for a long time." She said, pushing him off of her.
Spirit sighed, and wiped some tears. "You have to tell me this… And don't lie… Have you two been… you know… intimate...?"
"Well… yes…" Maka said, trying to hide her blush. Spirit jumped up again.
"Now that little shit's going to get it!" Spirit called loudly. "Soul! Get up and face me like a man!"
Maka grabbed Spirit's wrist and dragged him out of the door. Soul came out of his room, and looked at Maka. She smiled at him.
"Well, that went better than I thought." She laughed. "Now that that's over with… I'm going to need your help with something, and it might take a while. But I promise that it's going to be worth it."
So, that was chapter 10… I kind of feel like it sucked… (P.S. that's your cue to tell me it didn't! Lol, just kidding!) Well, I think I'm going to make this the second to last chapter, if I'm including the epilogue. So be waiting! Lots of Love~!
