Chapter 35: Kisses And Panic
"I'm not gonna lie. We did a good job, guys." Everyone was standing in Roxy's bedroom. They had just finished painting and they were now standing back, admiring their work. Roxy then stepped back, making sure everyone wasn't looking at her. She picked up a paint brush and then walked in front of Angel. "What do you think, Angel?" Angel shrugged, making Roxy sigh.
"It's pretty good. It's a ni-" Roxy raised her hand and dragged the paint brush across Angel's shirt. She giggled and Angel looked at her in shock. "You are so dead." Roxy squealed. She tried to run away but Angel grabbed her around her waist, making her stumble and the paint brush fell out of her hand. Some paint landed on Twinkie and the rest of them. Roxy and Angel looked at them.
"Shit." Roxy whispered.
"PAINT FIGHT!" Twinkie roared. Roxy and Neela squealed. They each grabbed a couple of paint brushes and stood beside each other.
"This is unfair! Two girls against four guys!" Neela complained. Roxy nodded in agreement. Sean rolled his eyes.
"Look, we won't do much damage. Just as long as no-one leaves the room and try to stay away from the walls so they don't get wrecked." Everyone nodded and waited to see who would make the first move.
"Fuck this! Roxy yelled and splattered paint over the boys. They grinned and walked towards the girls. Neela and Roxy screamed a little before separating to run around the boys. Sean grabbed Neela's waist and started to paint over her. Neela tried to get out of his grip and started painting anywhere on his body. Twinkie had joined in and helped Sean. Angel got a hold of Roxy's waist again and dragged her to the floor. Roxy was giggling and saw Angel and Han hovering over her. Angel grinned evilly before painting over Roxy. Roxy squealed and laughed. Angel had soon stopped.
"I need to get this cleaned." He said, pointing to his shirt. He then stood up and looked down at Roxy. "You mind if I borrow your washing machine?" Roxy shook her head.
"Go ahead. The powder is under the sink." Angel nodded and winked at her before walking out of the room. Roxy giggled and looked back at Han. He had a smirk on his face. She grinned and painted all over him. Han sat back in shock before looking at Roxy.
"You're gonna get it now!" Roxy squealed and scrambled to get up. She had stood up for a second or so before Han brought her back down to the floor and he had her pinned underneath him. Roxy giggled and looked at him. They both looked at each other. Han looked at Roxy and smiled a little. Han noticed that she had become a lot more beautiful since Rio, if that was even possible. Her hair was longer and was naturally curly. Her eyes were a lot greener and had a lot more sparkle in them. Roxy looked at Han and saw that if it was even humanly possible, he was a lot more handsome. His eyes were still the same but held a mysterious gleam to them which Roxy loved. His hair was longer and hung over his eyes a little. They were both unconsciously leaning towards each other. It was silent in the room. Roxy looked around her and saw that they were the only two people in the room. She looked back to Han. She smiled a little and then cleared her throat.
"Everyone's gone." Han sighed and looked around him and saw she was right. Roxy got up and ran a hand through her hair. She walked towards the door but Han grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. He held her close to her chest.
"Han, what are you-" Roxy was cut off by Han's lips on hers. Roxy froze a little before finally giving in and wrapping her arms around his necks. Han's arms snaked around her waist and he held her even tighter. Roxy smiled into the kiss. All her feelings came rushing back to her, pushing away the negative ones. They pulled back and Han laid his forehead against Roxy's. They looked at each other and smiled.
"I've been waiting to do that since the night we were in the elevator." Roxy gasped a little.
"Really?" Han nodded. "Why didn't you say or do anything, then?" Han shrugged.
"I knew you were still mad at me. I could tell by the way you spoke to me. It's only now that I had the guts to do it." Roxy smiled.
"That somehow sounds cute to me." Han chuckled and pecked her on the lips again. Roxy grinned.
"So... where does this leave us?" Roxy shrugged.
"No idea." Han chuckled.
"Why don't we just see where it goes?" Roxy nodded and smiled.
"Alright, then." Han kissed her forehead and they walked out of the room. They heard laughing and walked out to see Twinkie and Sean doubled over laughing. "Whoa. What happened out here?" Twinkie and Sean lifted their heads and Roxy saw that they had tears streaming down their faces. "Are you guys OK?"
"Yeah, we're fine." They started laughing again and Roxy laughed a little.
"And I thought I was a child." Roxy sat down beside Neela and sighed. Neela handed her some wet towels. Roxy smiled. "Thanks, doll." Roxy started to wipe the paint off her face. She noticed that Angel was gone. "Hey guys, where is Angel?" Sean and Twinkie started laughing again. Roxy sighed. "Alright, what the fuck happened out here?" Neela giggled a little and opened her mouth to answer her when Roxy's phone started to ring. She took the phone out of her pocket and looked at the screen. She frowned as she didn't recognise the number. "Sorry guys, I better take this." Roxy walked over to the kitchen and stood at the far side of the kitchen so that the others couldn't hear her. "Hello?"
"Hey, Roxy." A deep voice was heard on the other line.
"Who is this?" She heard a chuckle.
"It's Dom." Roxy's eyes widened and she grinned.
"Oh my God! Dom! How are you? How's Mia and Brian? How's little Leticia? Is everything alright with Tran? Are you-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Roxy, calm down a little! I know we haven't talked in a little while but damn!" Roxy rolled her eyes and hopped up onto a kitchen counter.
"Well, sorry if I get excited that you called. I've been meaning to call but it took a while to settle down here."
"Did you find Han?"
"Yep."
"Is he there?"
"Yeah." Roxy then looked over to the sitting room. "Han!" Han lifted his head. Roxy pointed to the phone. Han looked at her in confusion before walking over.
"What's wrong?" She held out the phone and mouthed 'Dom.' Han nodded in understanding and took the phone from her.
"Sup Dom?" Roxy watched as Han frowned a little. "Yeah... Yeah... Shit." Roxy looked at him in worry. He just shook his head and held her hand. This made Roxy panic more. "Yeah... Why not?... Can I at least mention that bit?..." Han sighed. "OK, fine... Yeah." He passed the phone back to Roxy. Roxy took it.
"Dom?"
"Yeah, I'm here. Look, Han needs to explain something to you, OK? I don't have time. Don't worry, Brian and Mia are fine and so is little Leticia. She said her first word." Roxy smiled, but then it quickly disappeared.
"Dom, what's going on?" She heard him sigh.
"Rox, Han will explain OK?"
"Yeah, alright. Just take care of yourself, OK? I don't want you guys hurt or anything because of me." Dom chuckled.
"No faith. We'll be fine, Roxy. Stop worrying." Roxy snorted.
"Good joke, Dom. You know I'm a natural worrier." Dom laughed.
"True. Definitely true. Look, I've gotta go. I'll call as soon as I can. I love you, Rox."
"Love you too, Dom. Bye."
"Bye, Rox." Roxy hung up the phone and looked at Han.
"What the fuck is going on?" Han sighed. She slid off the counter and looked him in the eyes. "Han, tell me." Han ran a hand through his hair.
"Look, you can't freak out, OK?" Roxy nodded but her breathing sped up a little. Han shushed her. "Look, just act ill, OK? We'll get them to leave. Then we'll talk." Roxy nodded again and leant against Han and held her stomach. Han chuckled. He led her to the sofa that Neela was on. Neela stood up and let Han help Roxy to lie down.
"Oh my God, Roxy. Are you OK?" Neela asked. Roxy nodded weakly and put a hand over her eyes. Neela looked at Han.
"She called me over and said she felt faint. She nearly collapsed." Neela gasped a little. "Roxy, are you OK?"
"Yeah. Is it OK of you guys leave? I feel rude for asking." Neela nodded.
"Yeah, that's fine." She motioned for Sean and Twinkie to leave with her. They smiled at Roxy and walked past Neela and walked out the door. Neela looked over at Han. "You coming Han?" Han pretended to look torn.
"I don't wanna leave Roxy alone." Roxy weakly waved her hand.
"Han, go. I'll be fine." Han rolled his eyes and shook his head. He looked at Neela.
"I'll stay with her to keep an eye on her." Neela smiled and nodded. She walked out of the house. Once they heard the door close, Roxy sat up and crossed her legs. Han sat down beside her.
"Alright. What's happening?" Han sighed.
"It's this guy Tran." Roxy looked at him weirdly.
"Yeah..."
"He... uh... he somehow found out... that..."
"Jesus Christ, Han, just spit it out. I'm freaking out over here."
"He knows where you are." Roxy froze. Han took her hand and looked at her. "Look, it's fine. You'll be fine." Roxy shook her head and her eyes started to water.
"No. He's going to find me and he's going to finish what Johnny started." Roxy started crying then. "He's going to kill me, Han." Han took a hold of her shoulders and forced her to look at him.
"No, he's not. He will not even get close to you. OK? I promise you. We'll protect you." He gathered her in his arms and rocked back and forth slowly. He kissed her hair. "Sssh. It's fine. He won't go near you." Roxy just cried and Han held her. He promised himself that he would protect her with everything that he had. He had lost her once. He wasn't going to lose her again.
