All it Takes is a Night CHAPTER 10
"God damn dude! Don't do that again!" I pull Silver by the arm so he falls into the pool.
"The point of us being here is swimming! And all you're doing is sticking your feet in the water! Someone had to push you in!" He flings water at me, laughing.
"I really hate you sometimes." I shake my head and climb out of the pool.
"Well that means you have to like me other times!" Silver calls out behind me.
I am stopped when I bump into Rouge.
She looks up at me, drink in hand. And body against mine…
Her head tilts to the side, a sly smile stretching across her muzzle. "You gonna move?"
I tilt my head as well. "Are you?"
"Make me."
"You seem to like to challenge me." I lift an eyebrow.
"Maaaybe," she pushes herself even closer.
Right now I'm glad so much people are here. No one is even noticing us…
It might have been a bad idea to start drinking…
Her fingers push through my chest fur, and her mouth comes close to my ear. "There's other things I could do to you too." The bat pulls back and licks her lips, staring at mine.
"W-what?" I stammer, and watch as she turns and walks away, swinging her hips. She looks back at me and winks before she stops to talk to some other girl.
Her gaze keeps finding its way back to me, and I am still stricken by what she just whispered to me. Does she want to…?
"Heeey Shadster!" Sonic stumbles over to me. "What's up?"
"Um, nothing? What do you want?"
"I just want to congratulate you! You're finally partying with the big kids!"
"What do you mean?" I push him away when he almost falls on me.
"What I meeean is, you're actually drinking! I haven't seen you do that in… like… forever man." Sonic touches his drink to my face. "Feel that? This cold drink desires to go through your body and eventually get peed out."
"Okay that's just… weird, Sonic."
"Yeah but you know what I mean."
"Uh, yeah, sure I do. Just go back to… whatever you were doing."
"Haha, sure dude. Just promise me one thing."
"What?"
"That you'll get super drunk tonight! You need to have fun sometimes, and tonight is the perfect night!" A drink is shoved in my hand, and Sonic disappears.
I pop the cap off, and chug it.
Why the hell not.
…
"So, your name is Shadow, huh? How mysterious,"
"You're so dark… it's so sexy!"
"C-can I come home with you?"
"No he's taking me!"
"Get off!" I yell, extremely uncomfortable with the amount of girls trying to flirt with me. "Hey don't touch me there—"
"Oh, well this is cute." Rouge steps into the water, coming over to us.
"R-Rouge, please get them off me." I try to move, but they have me pinned against the pool wall.
"Ladies, is this really how a woman should behave?" Rouge looks at all the girls, giving them a disapproving look.
"Who cares? It's just fun." One of the girls kisses my cheek.
"Yeah just… fun." Another nibbles on my ear. My eyes widen in shock.
"Yeah, well, this boy is pretty shy, and you're all making him uncomfortable. And no, this isn't one of those 'oh let's take the cute shy boy's virginity' things. It's one of those 'I hate people and don't like to touch women' things. Meaning, you won't get what you're after."
"Oh sure. Tell her, Shadow. Tell her how excited you are to get us all in bed."
"And how many times have I told you to fucking get off." I snap, struggling to break free from them. I feel so… so weird. I haven't been drunk like this in… Well actually I don't think I ever have been like this.
"See? You're not gettin' any. If you want sex, a fucking orgy, whatever, you go to that boy over there." The ivory bat turns behind her and points at Sonic. "He's all for that shit."
"Fine! You're really missing out, Shadow."
And the girls slowly dissipate.
"God, thank you." And for some reason I start laughing.
"You're welcome." She smiles, and giggles. "Damn, who woulda thought so many girls would find you so sexy?" She sips her drink, and leans against the wall next to me.
"You sayin' I'm not sexy?" I look over at her, and steal her drink from her hand. I stick the straw in my mouth.
"Oh, that's not what I'm saying at all." Her hand slides over mine.
"You know it doesn't take two people to hold this cup. I got it." I say between sips.
"I know." Her mouth finds mine, and she uses her tongue to steal the straw from me.
"Hey that's mine." I do the same to her.
She takes it back. "It was mine first."
I take it again. "I don't care."
And eventually this turns into a full-blown make out session, with tongue and everything. Suddenly her legs are around me, and I'm holding her up.
Nobody is even paying attention, there's plenty of others doing the same thing, and even practically having sex in the pool.
Rouge pulls back a little. "Should we take this back to the apartment?"
"U-um…"
"Heh, why did I even ask? Not like you're gonna answer me." She stands back on her feet. "So I'll make the decision for you."
(Rouge's POV):
We get to the apartment, and Shadow fumbles with the doorknob. "I… don't have the keys."
I shrug, and push him against the door. We kiss for what seems like hours.
"Shadow, wait here." I give him one more kiss, then back away. "I'll get those keys, just give me a minute."
I launch myself into the air, then quickly realize that was a horrible idea. I can't even keep myself up, I've been drinking too much. It's almost like I just forgot how to fly.
Or maybe Shadow just scrambled my brain.
"Silver." I poke him, and wait for him to take a break from Blaze's tongue.
"Whaaaat?" Silver moans, giving me a confused look.
"I need the key to the apartment."
"Oh the key! Well, uh, I think it's in the bag that we brought the pool stuff in." He laughs. "Oh Rouge, you're so funny."
"What?"
"If you have to pee there's a public bathroom right oveeer there."
"Maybe I just want to pee in the clean bathroom?"
"It's clean! Trust me! The urinals were so shiny, like, I almost went blind from the pearly white-ness. I felt so bad peeing on it. Like it was like 'no Silver don't pee on me!' and I was like 'sorry man I gotta do what I gotta do!' and it was like—"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it, you're now on bad terms with the urinal—"
"Oh it's okay, I promised it that it could pee on me next time."
"Well that's just… great. Now where is the bag?"
"Oh iiiit's over there," Silver points to a table, and I see the bag. "But why you leaving us?"
"I just need to pee. Sorry I have high bathroom standards."
"But it's clean you silly!"
"Well you know what Silver I'm on my period and I need to change my tampon. I forgot to bring extra."
"Well I'm sure someone here has some—"
"Silver, maybe I just want to deal with Lucifer's waterfall by myself, without asking someone else for supplies. Okay?"
"Okay, okay fiiiiine." He laughs again, then Blaze pulls him back.
So I stumble to the table, and snatch the bag. The keys were the only thing in there, as the stuff we brought is being used by everyone.
When I make it back to Shadow, he's sitting on the floor, almost asleep.
"Shadow?"
"H-huh? Oh, Rouge,"
"Were you asleep?"
"Just dosing off a little bit."
"Well, I got the keys." When he stands, I push myself against him. "You uh… still in the mood?"
"I don't know. Am I?" He raises an eyebrow at me, giving me a half-smile.
I reach around him, unlocking the door. I open it, not thinking, and we crash to the ground. My boobs landing right in his face.
"Oh damn." Shadow stares up at me.
Then we burst out laughing.
"I'm so sorry." I breathe between laughs.
"It's just fine." Shadow huffs, and he starts kissing my chest.
"Sh-Shadow? What are you—"
He pushes the door shut with his foot, then forces himself up so I'm sitting in his lap. His arms wrap around me, pulling me as close as possible.
I thought I had him in the palm of my hand. But now I'm in his.
I've never wanted this so bad in my life.
His lips find my neck, and he doesn't hold back.
A tiny moan escapes my mouth, and I'm immediately embarrassed. Covering my mouth, I pull back.
"What?" Shadow whispers heavily.
"I'm sorry, that noise, it was gross."
"Why do you think so?"
"I don't know it just…"
"Doesn't it mean I'm doing a good job?"
"I-I mean… I guess so…"
Shadow doesn't say another word, and I'm suddenly lifted into the air, with his hands holding onto my ass.
"Damn."
"What?" The hedgehog whispers again.
"I never thought you could… be like this."
"I've never felt like this before."
"Me neither."
And it was true. I've never felt like this… Like this was perfect. This is what I want. I'm not being forced. I think I might be completely falling for this guy.
When we get to his room, he lets me down on my feet.
"What's wrong?" I ask, staring into his eyes.
"You're so… beautiful."
"W-what?" I back up until I'm against the wall.
"I've never properly appreciated you before. You just look so…"
"Oh…" My ears go flat. "Is it my boobs? Is this just about… my body?"
"What? That's not what I was going to say." He lowers his voice. "Not at all."
I feel a tear falling down my cheek. Come on Rouge… worst time to get emotional.
"Baby why are you crying?"
Baby? "Just come here." I grab him by the arms and pull him to me, giving him the most meaningful kiss I can.
I don't know why him calling me baby just set me off.
I need him. Now.
"Damn." He whispers against my mouth.
His hands quickly run down my back, down to my thighs, and I'm lifted up again. He makes sure my legs are around him, then pushes me against the wall and raises my arms above my head, pinning them there.
Eventually I realize we're on his bed.
"Why did you wear a one-piece tonight? I figured you were a bikini kind of girl."
"I-I just… didn't want anyone to see… You know…"
He slowly slips the straps of the swimsuit down my shoulders, and eventually my whole body is exposed.
I'm laid back, and I brace myself for what is about to happen.
And instead of what I was expecting, I feel a kiss on my cheek. His kisses keep going down, and he stops at my stomach.
And he kisses my scar. The one from the hole that bullet left in me.
"You shouldn't be hiding just because you got a new beauty mark." His red eyes shine when he looks into mine.
"Shadow I…"
He looks down at the scar again. "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you."
I pull him into a tight hug. We sit like that for a while.
"I think I'm… in love with you… or something… I don't know how to deal with these feelings…" Shadow mumbles, then pulls away and shakes his head. "I'm sorry I've been such an ass to you."
It's really amazing how different Shadow is when you get a few drinks in him. "Do you really mean that? Or is the alcohol talking?"
"Rouge… I know I've been feeling… something… I just don't know how to handle it. I've never felt like this… ever."
I smile at him. Then I realize I'm still naked.
"Um, Shadow, this isn't very fair."
"What isn't fair?"
"You still have your shorts on."
He looks down at himself. "It appears so."
"Here, let me fix that,"
And as soon as they're off, I'm pushed back onto the bed. He kisses me again, this time not stopping at my stomach.
(?):
I can't believe her.
Jackson was right; this girl is a total fucking slut.
Watching her at the pool all night was hard. It was really hard not jumping out there and pulling her away from that black hedgehog. And now I really wish I did, because I lost sight of them as soon as they entered that apartment. I couldn't just follow them in there. No, no, that would give me away.
After all these years of spying on her for Jackson, to let him know of her every move, tell him wherever she was going, I never expected to fall for her.
Now I just have to win her, since Jackson is out of the picture.
But first, I have to get rid of this new guy.
Rouge… here I come.
