This chapter may be kind of exciting...XD

Anyawy, srry I couldn't update. 1) I was punished for a few weeks and 2) I had NO ideas what so ever...so I'm not TOO happy with the results...I wished I made Roxas seem more Roxas. I think he seems out of character. Oh well, I hope you enjoy anyway. =)

Thanks for waiting for me, all of my lovely readers!

**Namine's POV**

The afternoon of the party, after school, Roxas was walking me home, as usual. We have kind of calmed down with each other, but something still wasn't…right. He was acting very awkward towards me and I didn't like it. I just wish he was more of himself I guess.

As we walked down the street, I stared down at the sidewalk, making no eye contact with him. But the silence didn't last long.

"Hey, are you excited about the party?" he asked as we continued our walk home. I sighed.

"I suppose; but you did drag me into this after all." I added. Roxas rolled his eyes.

"Come on Naminé, you'll love it.' He promised as he squeezed my hand tight. I quickly removed my hand from his, pretending what just happened never happened.

"So…I have one question…" I said as a blush gave me away.

"What's that?" he asked with a breath-taking smile.

I stuttered. "Well…I-it's just that…" I tried to start again. "Is there any drinking at this party?" I asked uncertain as I looked up at him. He seemed a little surprised by my question, as if he didn't know it was coming. "I mean, I just don't like alcohol….the smell and everything. It makes me uncomfortable…" I explained to him, still embarrassed at his responding face.

He finally fixed his expression, making it calm again. "I'm pretty sure that they'll be no alcohol." He answered, even though his voice sounded a little unsure. "I mean, we're only sixteen. I think it's illegal to drink alcohol at our age anyway." He informed as I noticed we took a different turn pass my house.

"That's good." I finally answered after the short silence.

"What's wrong? Do you have a bad experience with alcohol?" he asked with a little humor in his voice. I shrugged, but inside, I was embarrassed for asking the question in the first place.

"I don't know…I just don't like it is all I guess." I answered him as I noticed we were reaching the park. I have to admit I passed by it a few times, but I never visited it. I know Tifa mentioned going there with Aerith one time though. The park was a beautiful place. Grass was growing, some daisies were laying in the grass, and a little far ways was a park were only a few kids were playing at the moment. I noticed a breeze pass by, and I shivered silently. It was November, so it was expected to be chilly outside.

My thoughts went immediately to last month, when Roxas asked me if I was going to the dance with anyone. I knew he wasn't exactly asking me, but it set me off guard. I kind of wished I would have said yes.

My concentration went back to Roxas spoke."Hm…" was all he said as he led us towards a tree and sat down, his back against the truck. I sat down next to him. His eyes looked distant, like he was of in a different world. Something about him was a little off to me, like his mind was on something. I wondered what was bothering him.

"Are you okay?" I asked him as I met his eyes for moment, before looking down to break contact. I did have a chance to see a small smile placed on his lips.

"Of course I am; why do you ask?"

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. I didn't know where to start, or if I could say what was really on my mind. But he was my friend; I could tell him anything, couldn't I? I took a deep breath.

"A lot of things actually." I answered finally, after a long silence. He narrowed his eyes in confusion. I explained, after seeing his silent expression. "It's just…you've been acting so weird. If you didn't want to talk to me, you could have said so, I mean if I was annoying you or something. We've just barely talked or really said much since-"

"Since I kissed you, right?" he asked, with dark humor. I sighed and slightly blushed. We have never admitted it out loud before to each other, and it embarrassed me a little as I remembered the night. Roxas finally chuckled without humor. "Naminé, you really think I want you out of my life?" he asked me softly, locking his gaze on me.

I didn't realize I wasn't breathing until a gasp of air made its way out of me. "I-I think you do…You make it kind of...Be-belivable." I stuttered under his intense gaze.

He chuckled again, and then sighed. "I don't understand why you think that…"he said moving closer to me, invading in my personal space as my heart beat quicken. "I'm sorry that I made you think that." He said with another smile that left me breathless.

"Um…"was all I could say as his eyes left my mind mixed up and making it hard to think.

"Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" he asked in curiosity. I never seen the seductive side of Roxas before, and it was scaring me…but at the same time, it drove me crazy. It was like he changed into a whole different person. The scene was so peaceful until I revealed what was on my mind.

I immediately said the first thing that popped into my mind, regretting it after it was too late. "I want you to kiss me again." I bluttered out, before covering my mouth in shock of my words. Roxas didn't say anything; all he did was stare into my eyes, and I stared right back…waiting, my hands still covering my mouth.

"I can't exactly do that Naminé." He finally said, releasing me from his gaze.

"What do you mean?" I asked. I was at the point of anger, confusion, and…well anger. And I didn't know why.

"Listen, you need to tell me something." He said meeting my eyes again, trapping me under his gaze. I totally forgot how close he was until he was inches away from me, his hands on the trunk of the tree, trapping me. And somehow, we were standing up now. I never remembered getting up. His legs were pressed up against mine, as my body heated up, my face turning red.

"Mmmhmmm." I groaned, biting my lip. He smiled.

"It's your decision, but it results in your request, weather I'll do it or not." Of course, he was being difficult. I sighed and nodded. "One, do you like me?" he asked. I nodded my head left and right.

"No Roxas, I don't like you…I-I love you." I stuttered out silently. He seemed surprised, but happy at my answer.

"Do you want to stay my friend, forgetting the kiss ever happen or do you want to risk everything that we built up?" The question was of course easy to answer in my opinion, but my voice wouldn't do as I wanted it to.

Finally I spoke. "I'd rather if we risk it, because at least I'll know you loved me." I spoke truthfully, placing my hand on his chest, making circles on his black long sleeve crew neck. When I looked up to meet his eyes again, his lips found its way to mine, pressing against them softly. This kiss was different then the last one we shared. The last one was a little bit aggressive and lust, but this kiss was something different. I didn't know how to explain it.

Roxas's fingers ran across my arm before I wrapped them around his neck. He pulled away from me to speak. "You know, you are making a pretty stupid choice." He said with a small smile.

"I don't care." I said, pressing my lips against his again. Electricity flowed through my body as I gripped his shoulders as his fingers got tangled in my hair. He pushed me harder against the tree trunk as his hands move towards my hips, making circles on them.

I pulled away immediately, catching my breath as I met his eyes. "I think it's worth it." I finally said with a smile. "Even if I'm not good enough for you." I said as unnecessary sadness came into my voice.

"Of course, because you deserve much better." He answered, which made my heart skip a beat. "But that doesn't mean I still can't love you, right?" The words I always wished to hear were now coming out of his month, and I was internally screaming hallelujah in my mind at the moment.

"Right." I finally answered.

As I was getting ready for the party, I started getting nervous instead of concentrating on putting on my mascara right. But then, that was probably because of Roxas….Roxas.

I couldn't believe what happened at the park. I wasn't sure if that meant we were dating, or if it would change how tonight would turn out, but I was overall excited to be able to see him again. He was the only reason I was actually going to the party anyway.

I looked myself over in the mirror: the dress I bought with black heels (I will put the links on my profile page later) and I let a part of my hair up in the back, making a small ponytail on top of the rest of my hair with a band with a black rose at the top. I had my hair curled, instead of the usual Hayley Williams styled hair I usually wore. I also wore a necklace that my mom gave me a few years back, that held a picture of dad inside.

Then I heard a knock at the door. I immediately ran downstairs, but I heard the front door open already. As I came down the stairs, I saw Roxas in front of my mom at the door, his eyes on me, all of me. I suddenly felt insecure under his hungry, but I continued down the stairs until I reached the bottom.

Roxas's eyes finally left me as he smiled at my mom. "Hi Mrs. Lockheart. I'll be accompanying Naminé tonight to the party." He said was a smile.

My mom blinked before answering. "Oh, yes, you're the boy from the basketball team." She said with a smile.

Roxas smiled politely. "Yep, and I'm Naminé's boy-"I immediately flushed as I ran towards him, colliding into him as I covered his mouth.

"What?" Mom asked, putting her hands on her hips, giving me the what didn't you tell me look. I gulped as I stuttered.

"He said boy…boy friend." I said, half telling the truth. "You know, a friend that's a boy, not related to dating at all." I said narrowing my eyes at him, giving him a threatening look. "Anyway, we would LOVE to stand here and talk, but we would be late." I said, giving her a smile. "Bye!" and with that, I closed the door as I pulled Roxas away from it.

"What were you thinking?" I asked in embarrassment.

"Well, I asked you earlier today if you wanted the risk or not Naminé. You gotta tell your mom sooner or later." He seemed to be just giving me a good explainable reason. I huffed and rolled my eyes. "Don't be like that." He said, playing along with my attitude. "By the way, you look really pretty tonight."

I blushed at the comment. "But then, pretty doesn't cut it." He said, a smile making its way on his lips. I became memorized and almost forgot what we were talking about.

"Well, you never exactly said we were….were….going out." I forced the last two words out of my mouth, and they sounded very odd.

His smile widened slightly. "Well, if I kiss you and tell you I love you, you think we can just walk around and be friends. I think that type of affection is on another level, if you get what I'm saying."

I blushed again and shook my head. "Let's get to the party, we'll be late." I said as I dragged his arm towards the nice Mercedes that was parked on the side of the house.

"Nice ride." I commented with a small smile.

"Thanks, I just got my permit, so my parents bought me it." He said proudly.

"Hey, you're not supposed to drive until you have your license at age 17." I informed him in confusion.

"Who said I got my license yet?" he asked with a mischievous smile.

"Roxas!" I exclaimed in shock. He laughed.

"I'm not going to get caught, don't worry." He said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm finding that hard to believe." I said sarcastically.

Roxas laughed again. "Come on, let's get to that party." He said as he held the door out for me as I stepped in.

YAY! Any comments? Suggestions? And wasn't that scene in the park interesting? XD

Please tell me your honest opinion...because this chapter makes me nervous...
