As Luck Would Have It

Chapter 36

"Why Won't You Answer Me?"

Makoto steadied herself on the nightstand and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She quickly threw warm water on her face like she had just suffered from a bad dream, 'Why did I see that… that girl touching him like that. Those dreams or visions seemed so real.' Makoto tried to shake off the dreams/visions as much as possible, 'I thought I was done thinking about him? …done loving him…' Makoto knew that she couldn't get over heartbreak in a matter of hours but senshi life demanded it. Countless times of memories being circled around senshi, youmas, and evil. Makoto could only balance the rough times with the good times centralized around her senshi family. But lately it was falling apart, they all were having a break from the realm of evil and all its catastrophic minions, now she needed to focus on herself. 'You have to get over tonight for the greater good right?…' Makoto stared into her face in the mirror between her fingers trying to acknowledge her thoughts. However, she got fed up with herself and trying to reason about Mamoru. She stopped the running faucet and grabbed a towel. As she wiped off her face, Makoto heard the door open and close, Makoto gasped, 'I forgot about Lex…' Makoto finished wiping off her face and walked over to the bathroom door and exhaled. The meer thought of Lex made her nervous with the storm of thoughts of Mamoru.

Makoto gently opened the door and saw Lex walk over to his bed a little in a slump. He wasn't walking confidently like he usually does and sat on his bed like he had somethings on his mind. He seemed to perk up as soon as Makoto closed the bathroom door behind her. He looked over her way but Makoto could spot the uneasiness within seconds. He quickly distracted her like he always does.

"Well someone looks really sexy…" Lex complimented with a playful grin on his face.

Makoto bashfully looked over herself and forget that he hadn't seen her outfit change. She smiled and leaned into the door, "I wouldn't say all that…"

"Well I say it." Lex said confidently.

Makoto walked over towards Lex, "Well seeing as how you dabble in sexy women… I guess you are a good judge of character, huh?" she teasingly asked.

"Are you making funny of me?" Lex gawked and quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closely into his body.

"Why would I ever do that?" Makoto slyly smiled. 'It's amazing how he makes me just feel and forget…' Makoto enjoyed the warmth of her nose touching his cheek, she smiled, and kissed his cheek but felt him ever so gently pull away. It only took that split second but she noticed the wince of pain from Lex. 'Did I just see that?' Makoto thought to herself. "Lex…"

"Yes?" Lex smiled and looked at Makoto sweetly while playing with her curves and leaned in to kiss her neck.

Makoto pushed back slightly, "Are you okay?" Makoto said playfully drawing along his jawline from his ear. The moment that her finger hit his jaw, he flinched slightly, "That seems like a No!" Makoto paused and looked at Lex, his eyes met hers and she asked in concern, "What happened?"

Lex sighed, "How can I say no to those beautiful green eyes?..." Lex kissed her hands gently, "Well while you were in the shower, Mamoru came over." Makoto's hand moved from his grasp and she took a defensive stance. Lex reached out to calm the obvious tension in her body by pulling her into his grasp, "We talked about some stuff, got into an argument and …"

"And…" Makoto said inquiring, 'What happened in a matter of a half hour or so?…'

"And I said somethings that I shouldn't have said and guys being guys… He hit me." Lex locked his arm around Makoto even though her bright, tender green eyes turned into a swirling vortex of stormy, grey-ish, green eyes.

Makoto felt the most confusion of the night at this particular moment, "Wait! Rewind please, I'm not understanding…" Makoto couldn't help herself. Lex just layed a bomb on her and she couldn't really understand. She stood there in his arms, with her hands on his shoulders expectant.

"Well we just had an argument Makoto that's all and its just guy stuff, we duked it out a little. No real harm done. Promise." Lex assured the brunette by looking honestly into her eyes. He was surprised by her next reaction, Makoto leaned in and rested her forehead on his with her eyes closed. Her beautiful, long, rich chestnut colored eyelashes fluttered open to reveal clear, emerald, green eyes.

Makoto merely smiled and said, "Okay! I don't want to fight anymore especially tonight…" Makoto leaned back and smiled, "But I need you to feel better, so I'm going to get you some pain killers…" Makoto said walking towards one of Lex's onyx dresser drawers and opening one. Before she could see what was inside Lex touched her shoulders. He ran his fingers down her shoulders and placed soft kisses on her right shoulder.

"You don't have to do that…" Lex whispered, "You could just be here… I don't even think of any pain when you are around…" Lex said.

Makoto could feel the genuine feelings of Lex dripping from every kiss. 'It's like he's actually setting aside his slick, flirty nature…' Makoto smiled and turned around to face him. "Okay, we can lay down and relax for a little bit but the moment I sense you're in pain… I'm getting some medicine." She announced.

Lex stepped back and bowed, "Hai Kino-san!" the two of them laughed but Lex took the opportunity to close the gap between Makoto and himself. "Now let me prove to you that I'm okay…" Lex said kissing Makoto's jawline.

"Mmmm…" Makoto smiled at the light kisses and melted into Lex reluctantly, there were questions swarming her mind until he proceeded to pick her up and walk her over to his bed. Her legs cradled by his arms and wrapped around him, Lex intensely kissed her and pulled at her lip. Makoto began to kiss him back but felt an ever so slight wince. Lex laid her on the bed and the two breathed each other in. Their eyes just roaming over each others' entirety and Lex leaned in for a kiss but Makoto turned her face.

Lex chuckled a little and whispered, "Whats the matter?" he nuzzled her neck.

Makoto looked at him and eyed him suspiciously, 'The normal woman would have missed that tiniest wince... However, I'm not the normal woman.' Makoto traced her finger from his chin to the right side of his jaw and she felt a soft spot and ever so gently tapped it. Makoto openly saw his wince and proceeded to say, "That." she sat up, "You need some more meds." Makoto honestly said.

"Mako, just relax I'm fine." Lex touched his forehead to hers.

"For me to feel better, please let me." Makoto begged innocently and kissed Lex for good measure. "I'll still go get some pain killers to be sure!" Makoto insisted and somehow twirled out of his grasp, she seemed to grab some stuff off of a chair and made her way out of the room. Within a flash, Makoto made her way downstairs with a pair of pants and her cellphone in her right pocket.. She looked at her cellphone and couldn't ignore the nagging feeling of checking up on Mamoru. 'I'm happy Lex is fine but when I heard they were in a fight...' Makoto unlocked her blackberry and saw all the notifications of missed phone calls, messages, etc. Makoto placed the phone upside down on the counter of the island.

She walked over to the other granite countertops and began to rummage through the the cabinets. She knew that there were tons of cabinets and drawers to go through and she really didn't want to wake up Bentley. Makoto tried to strategize on where she could find the medication in this grand kitchen. She walked by the six-ring, glass covered, electric stove sliding her finger along the smooth surface. 'Lex always teases me about this kitchen. The first day I came to his house, I told him I'd marry him for this kitchen and he never lets me live it down...' Makoto smiled at the memory, 'Then Mamoru sneaked up behind Lex and almost strangled him at his forwardness...' Makoto chuckled at simpler times. Before her heart got tangled in what seemed an unfixable mess."Man I'm a mess..." Makoto began to look through the cabinets when her phone went off on the counter. She was shocked that anyone would be calling her at such an early hour. She looked at the phone and saw it was Minako... 'Yikes!' Makoto thought. She knew she deserved some answers, "Hello!"

"Where the HELL have you been?" Minako stressed,

Makoto winced, "Hera Mina! Can we please talk tomorrow? My head..."

Minako waited a few seconds, "Are you safe? At least let me know you aren't in a ditch somewhere..."

Makoto regained some composure, "Really Mina? If I was in a ditch would I be even answering... And I'm with Lex..."

"WHAAT? Are you naked?" Minako asked.

"MINA!" Makoto bellowed.

"Okay well resume whatever you are doing, remember to tell me everything. How good of a kisser he is? If he manscapes? How big he is... Oh and heads up Motoki, Mamoru, and Corey should be on their way!" Minako trailed off.

"They already left." Makoto frankly said.

"Really? Well I'll find them. Go get some loving with Lex!" Minako hinted and hung up.

Makoto heard the click but looked at the phone, why weren't the guys home yet. Usually, Minako knows EVERYTHING. Makoto couldn't help but wonder if the guys were okay. So she called Mamoru, she had never been so anxious in hearing the phone ring, "Ring... Ring... RING... You've reached..." Makoto hung up the phone. 'Where are you? Why'd you come here? And why won't you answer my fcuking calls?' Thought angrily, grabbing the countertop.

Mamoru leaned against the glass door to his patio and watched his phone ring, Makoto's name illuminating the dark room, while he knew Motoki's eyes were burrowing holes into his flesh.

"Why aren't you answering her calls?" Motoki asked. Mamoru kept staring at his phone. "What you aren't going to answer me either?" he asked a tad annoyed.

Mamoru's usually warm deep blue eyes were now a steely gray, "Because I can't. I can't talk to her, I ran over to Lex's place to make sure she was okay and got a bomb dropped on me..."

Motoki sat back on the couch, "You didn't go there to make sure she was okay Mamoru..." Motoki sighed knowing that wasn't the only reason.

Mamoru stepped off of the glass door very annoyed, "What are you talking about?" He said in a challenging manner.

Motoki sat up and twiddled his thumbs, "What? You want to fight me now too?" He stood up, "Mamoru think about tonight in its entirety as much as possible." Motoki was rudely interrupted.

"What the hell do you think I've been doing. I left Lex's place because I was getting angry and had this weird flashback of that girl I slept with. I had to think things through before I talked to Makoto about anything. I went there to make sure she was okay but hearing that possible news about..." Mamoru couldn't even utter her name at this point, his demeanor changed to being withdrawn.

Motoki couldn't handle what Mamoru was saying, "Sure!" he shrugged.

"What the hell is your problem?" Mamoru said angrily again.

"Mamoru, you were uneasy about being at the club when you realized that Makoto wasn't around. Then when you heard who she was with... We had to leave immediately! She left with your friend!" Motoki was interrupted again.

"Because its LEX! You know he just sleeps around with women..." Mamoru bellowed.

"And? Makoto is a grown woman, you don't know how her night went tonight! Then you were almost ready to put your friend's head through a wall?... Look just sleep it off because I'm sure you have a lot of thinking to do... Something just isn't adding up Mamoru." Motoki stood up to leave, "You rarely ever lose your cool like this not even over Usagi... So what is pushing you to now?" Motoki said before shutting the door behind him.
