Chapter 28

"The Heat (Between Us)"

Makoto simply followed Lex towards one of the walls of the clubs that seemed to be roomy, people danced around them but it was the coolest part of the club, there was a vent near them that cooled their bodies. Getting to this spot wasn't any easy feat to accomplish but they . "Do I know how to pick 'em or what?" Lex asked when they arrived to his spot.

Makoto smiled and inched towards him because the spot was also very loud because of its nearness to the DJ. Makoto had to be in Lex's arms to speak to him in this spot, there was a speaker practically right next to them but she did love the bass vibrations, she could feel the music pulsate through her. "Yea you do! Yo udont have to talk, just dance." Makoto smiled, 'I spot his game, this must be his spot for all the chics,' she thought. "Is this where you bring all the girls?" she whispered into his ear with a smile.

Lex backed up and looked with her shaking his head 'No', he leaned back in "But I'd love to keep bringing you hear." Lex said smoothly and he began dancing on her, Makoto's body couldn't fight it, she subdued to the music, to the lights, to him… "I'm so special, I'm so special, so special, so special…" Makoto winded her hips to the reggae song and couldn't help but stare at Lex's chest, 'Mmm he seems to be okay with his rhythm.' Makoto bit her lip and starred up into Lex's eyes, which seemed intently fixed on her and occasionally glanced at her chest. Makoto laughed a little at the attention.

"What's so funny?" Lex smiled and asked.

"Nothing," Makoto said changing up her rhythm with the new song, she got a little closer and felt Lex's hands creep around her waist and run down to her hips. Makoto did her best to hold back because Lex was still her friend but he was attractive. Makoto looked back up at Lex and wrapped her arms around him playfully. 'Nothing is wrong with a little flirting, tonight is going to be fun…' she thought.

Meanwhile, Mamoru had led Usagi upstairs to a decorated room for celebs to overlook the whole club through a one-way mirror, plexiglass, and semi soundproof walls. Mamoru opened the door for her and closed the door behind her. Mamoru walked over to the plush couch and sat down and wiped his eyes with regret, 'Why am I doing this?' Mamoru thought. "Wassup Usagi? What do you want to talk about?" he finally looked over to the blonde in front of him. Usagi was propped up against the ceiling-to-floor glass windows. His eyes started to roam over her body, his eyes began at her slicked hair in a neat elegant bun and she seemed to be wearing a black leather jacket on a tight, dark green bandage dress. Mamoru's eyes began to trace her subtle curves that used to belong to him and were always accessible to his fingertips, 'Uhhh Stop Mamo! Get it together… she's not yours and be thankful, she's not worth it anymore. This isn't the Usako you knew…"

Usagi looked out of the glass, "When will you stop hating me?" she said simply then turned around to see Mamoru a little flustered by her question. She knew him for the most part but had to be just honest with him.

"Honestly, I don't hate you anymore, I'm just not interested in talking to you at the moment." Mamoru said looking her in the eyes, he wouldn't allow her to get the best of his emotions.

"Mamoru I know that you are mad at me and for good reason but I want us to be friends… Is that selfish of me?" Usagi said walking towards him with slight fear in her voice.

Mamoru wiped his eyes, "Usagi, why are we having this conversation? Now of all times?" he asked rhetorically but Usagi butted. Despite the fact Mamoru wasn't searching for an answer and barely even wanted to talk to her.

"Because you shut me out, I've tried calling you and waiting for you but I don't understand Mamo-kun." Usagi frankly stated. Usagi looked over towards Mamoru and couldn't read his face or his emotions.

Mamoru felt the hairs of his skin stand-up when Usagi called him by his old nickname from her; he first tried to stay cool but shook it off and was enraged. "You want me to just be honest with you?" Mamoru said rising out of his seat but maintained a level voice. Usagi nodded, Mamoru felt the anger rising in his chest, "You were very selfish, because honestly I gave everything to you I possibly could. I changed for you and you ripped out my heart for ANOTHER MAN!" he accentuated and lightly grabbed his chest, "I gave you my everything and it wasn't enough." Mamoru's once roaring voice became a barely audible whisper, "I don't even want to know why but the worst part is that you took away my future child from me. So I think its okay that I don't talk to you." Mamoru looked at Usagi's face, which was full of hurt and fear. "I want to build my own life now, where someone will truly be happy to be with me and me alone. I thought my future was certain with you but things change and clearly people change too."

"Okay…" Usagi said walking towards him, she hesitated a little before she got any closer because she was clearly thinking about her next move. That's when Usagi took the action towards hugging Mamoru and looked up at him with her blue eyes.

Mamoru froze for a moment but then pushed her away, "Don't DO THAT!" he howled turning his back towards her. He was overwhelmed by her sweet smell, the same smell since they first met, 'I remember the time where I would look forward to that sweet smell of milkshakes and flowers…' Mamoru thought. "We are over! There is nothing more to talk about!" Mamoru stormed out of the room and did his best to keep his composure. However, when he reached the bottom of the stairs, the lights began to swirl a little more they should, 'Whoa the anger and liquor, do not mix…' Mamoru thought. The heat in his chest felt like an inferno at this point, only the sight of Usagi and Seiya could make his blood boil. Mamoru made his way back to the VIP section and was greeted by the ladies with the bustiers. Mamoru smiled and waved but walked in scoping the room. He saw Rei speaking with Corey and Motoki, while Seiya was speaking with Minako. "Where's Makoto?" Mamoru asked standing at the center table. He walked over to Rei, Corey, and Motoki and inquired.

Seiya noticed Mamoru's rash behavior and wondered how Usagi is and where she is, so Seiya stood up and asked Mamoru, "Where's Usagi?" he gruffed.

Mamoru turned around and answered, "I don't know! That's not my problem anymore its yours." Mamoru snarled at him, 'Is he trying to insinuate that I may have hurt Usagi? I was the one, who used to love her. I'm the person who was cheated on, who the hell does he think he is? I'm not the backstabbing bastard in this situation.' Mamoru thought.

Seiya was quickly angered and approached Mamoru, Seiya put his hands on Mamoru's jacket and grabbing his arm, "I'll be your problem if you did anything to hurt her." Within a second Mamoru allowed the heat in his chest to envelope his body, Mamoru's eyes spewed fire. Rei and Minako were the first to sense the rage within Mamoru. Rei understood anger and fire better then anyone, so when she felt his fire grow within, she tried to grab the raven in front of her, while Minako attempted the same on the other side of this quarrel. Corey and Motoki tried to hold Mamoru back but they were too late to falter his charge anymore then Rei had. Mamoru swung at Seiya's face and would have landed a fist if it weren't for someone palming his fist.

"Makoto?" both men questioned.
