A/N Please read and review this story.

This ficcy is mostly centered around Rei and Jadeite with a hint of a Usagi and Mamoru. There's not much on the others thought, sorry.

As the sleek black Mercedes Benz pulled up to Rei's apartment, she started panicking. If she ever wanted to make her move, this was it. Otherwise she would it drag on for more than three months.

As the car came to a stop Jadeite got out and came around to Rei's side and opened the door for her. As Rei got out she faked a sprained ankle and fell into his arms. Rei winced when she realized she really did sprain her ankle.

"Are you okay?" Jadeite helped her on her feet.

"No!" she limped.

"That'll teach you to wear four inch heels, huh?" he joked. Rei sighed, her patience was running out.

"Can you help me to my apartment? I might fall down the stairs. The elevator broke" Rei leaned on him to keep herself steady.

"Sure," Jadeite swung her arm around his neck and with one hand he held on to her waist and helped her into the building.

By the time they reached the eighth floor the were both out of breath. Jadeite leaned against a wall as Rei kept herself steady by gripping on the doorknob. Jadeite inhaled deeply and glared at Rei.

"You never told me it was on a eighth floor!" Jadeite's face was flushed with heat as he practically hollered at her.

Rei bit her lower lip and gave him a sad puppy look. "Would you have helped me if I did?"

"Definitely....not!" Jadeite exhaled deeply.

"See!" Rei's eyes twinkled a bit at his tired look. In truth, it only made him look more handsome.

Jadeite let out a small chuckle. Contrary to what he had said he knew he still would've helped her. Whatever it took to be near her a bit longer he would do. It was as if she had cast some kind of spell on him when they first met on the balcony. Ever since that fateful night he couldn't stop thinking about her, even in his damn dreams he couldn't escape her!

Life had been good to him and it led him up to where he is right now. If fate had some sort of plan for everything that has happened then maybe all his luck and fortune was to be here.

Jadeite let out a soft sigh as he stepped closer to her. His eyes gazed past every inch of her. Her beauty was ethereal. There was no denying it. For god's sake she must've been an angel.

She was the only person he knew that really treated him the same she treated everyone else. She did not treat him any higher for his money.

Her features were delicate and soft, so soft he wanted to touch her again, just to feel those lips against his.

Rei stood as stiff as a board. Her skin burned and flushed where his eyes roamed past. The scrutiny was driving her mad. She was never the patient nor still person. She looked up and gazed into his eyes. They were gentle as they stared back into her violet gaze. The two clashed with the heat of the moment.

Jadeite wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her small body against his own. Her hands rested gently on his chest and rose when he inhaled and fell when he exhaled. Rei tilted her head up to meet his eyes. He smiled softly as he slowly lowered his lips to hers. He softly brushed his against hers, barely even touching. He was teasing her as her need for him became greater.

Rei whimpered when he repeated it over again. He was making her hope soar and left her with anxiety. Then finally after much waiting on her part he finally pressed his lips against hers. It was a passionate moment. Fire had been stirred within the depths of her body, which she thought had long been distinguished, he made her want him more. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned harder against him. In response her gripped her tighter and kissed her harder with more passion and lust.

And all too soon it ended when their need for air became to great. The two separated from their heated moment of passion, leaving them both stunned and dizzy. Jadeite breathed heavily as he leaned his back against the door, with his eyes closed and head lifted, facing the ceiling. Rei watched him breathe, he was a work of art. No man had ever made her feel what she had felt during the kiss. In a way she was scared, but all coherent thoughts was brushed away when his eyes settle on her once again.

"I guess, I'll come by tomorrow" The words were huskily spoken. "To check on your ankle, that is" he added quickly. A bit too quickly and caused Rei to chuckle.

"Then I'll be waiting" she replied.

"Good night" Jadeite whispered as he began to walk away.

Rei watched him slowly retreat until he was out of sight. The smile she wore since the kiss still lingered on. Rei opened the door and walked her. She hurried to her bed and hugged her pillow and sighed. It was all she could do to keep herself from laughing out in joy. She didn't know if she felt happy because she might actually win the bet or if it was his kiss.

The next morning like any other morning Wednesday morning. It was early, really early when Rei woke up. No matter how much she tried to sleep, she just couldn't. Apparently she had taken too many beers while trying to calm herself down and relax herself into sleep, that she got drunk and had a hangover. Her hangovers was never just loved to wake her up early. And now she couldn't even sleep that off.

"Great, another burden life just handed to me on a silver platter" Rei grumbled as she limped her way to the kitchen.

"for god's sake I can't even fake spraining my ankle without actually breaking it!" she growled as she entered the kitchen and looked around.

Her apartment was pitch black except for a few night lights that she had plugged in every other room. Rei drew open the curtains. It was as she suspected the sun haven't even touched the black skies yet.

In the corner of the kitchen was a clock. It's red lights beamed '5:00'. Rei let a groaned as she slumped her way to the fridge and searched for ice-cream. True, it wasn't the most healthiest thing to eat in the morning, but when you have a hangover the size of Texas with a side of insomnia you just don't care what's healthy anymore.

Rei slammed the fridge and headed to the couch. She set her bucket of ice-cream and the spoon on the table and left the room to find some candles to light up the room. She did not dare to bathe in the luxury of electricity, at least not when the bill is that high. Her whole savings was still zero and hadn't made much money, no thanks to her father who got her in the mess. But she didn't complain. She only hoped that she would fall asleep and the candle would burn her apartment as well as herself and end the tragedy. But then what about her friends

"Life just loves to screw me over, doesn't it?" Rei lit the candles and settled herself down.

By the time ten o'clock rolled around her hangover had been long gone. Rei had woken only an hour ago and to disappointment nothing burned. Rei began to get up, but as soon as her right foot touched ground she collapsed.

Rei laid on the floor for a while, as she was brooding. "Great, guess I'm going to the doctors today"

Rei hefted herself up with the aid of a nearby table. When she was up and halfway to the bathroom the doorbell rang. Rei stopped for several minute, debating whether or not she should answer the door. But if it was the stupid encyclopedia salesmen again she was going to hurt him.

Rei waited in the hall way for a while. Their was no knock or ring and she assumed whoever it was had left and began to limp her way to the bathroom. As she made it to the doorway the doorbell began to ring like crazy.

It had caught her off guard and she slipped and landed on her back.

"Why me!" Rei screamed as she stared at the ceiling. Rei started to get up, but found herself too weak. So she went for her second option and crawled to the door. When she got there and lifted herself up carefully. She opened the door while gripping to a chair that was nearby.

Rei didn't even bother to look at who was there before she started to run her mouth off. She was too busy concentrating on keeping herself steady and blocking the pain.

"Listen here asshole! I said I don't want any damn encyclopedia's. Get the point and move on!" Rei was about to slam the door shut but the salesmen shoved his foot in, which kept her from the closing the door. Rei would've kicked his foot, but at the current time she didn't have the strength.

"I'm not selling encyclopedia's" Rei quickly looked up and met Jadeite's eyes.

"Oh," Rei blushed as she opened the door for him to come in.

"Rizu, you're a mess" Jadeite exclaimed as he walked by.

"Yeah, nice to see you too" Rei rolled her eyes as she shut the door.

"Did I come at a bad time? It sure did take you some time to answer the door" He folded his arms and tapped his foot while waiting for and explanation.

"Well, excuse me if you had to wait longer the usual. But my foot is the size of Maine! Not to mention I was down the hall at the bathroom. Did I mention I happened to fall? Twice! And I crawled my way to the door and that I've been keeping myself from falling by gripping this chair here! And you come and all huffy and demanding an explanation-"

"I was just kidding" Jadeite began to laugh.

"Oh," Rei blushed "You could've stopped me sooner"

"Yes, but we all know how you look cute when you get mad" He winked at her as he looked around her apartment.

Rei who was still standing by her chair, began to grow angrier by the minute, "Was there a reason for you being here?"

"Yes, now that you mentioned it. I wanted to check on that ankle of yours and maybe....dinner?" he suggested brazenly.

"If you think I'm that easy-" Rei was silenced as he placed a gentle finger over her lips.

"I would never think that you are easy" His liquid blue gazed on her stunning violet ones with such intensity, which caused her to loosen her grip on the chair and collapsed onto his chest.

She held on to him as tightly as she could to keep herself from falling, yet never once breaking eyes contact. Jadeite in turn wrapped his arms around her lithe form, trying his best to keep her up.

"I- I um Could I-" Her lips were silenced again however this time is was by his own lips.

His lips gently pressed against hers as she whimpered from the gentle touch. Jadeite was a patient man, and all good things come to those who wait, right? Rei slowly gave in to temptation and welcomed his kiss.

It was soft, and sweet caress of his lips against hers was enough to make her insides churn. She was even daring enough to let his tongue slip into her mouth and taste her sweetness.

Being caught up in the moment of passion, she slowly closed her eyes and placed one hand on his chest and the other in on the back of his neck, drawing him closer to her. Her whole body called out for him, but in the back of her mind she was screaming...no. But for the moment, she ignored all that and let herself be contempt.

As the kiss slowly ended, the pain in her ankle returned. Which brought up the whole reason why she fell on him, which caused the kiss.

"I think, I may need to go to my doctor today" Rei winced as she placed some pressure on the foot.

"Sure, let my get some ice for you and we'll go" Jadeite helped her to the couch and went to fetch some ice.

"Where's you fridge?" Jadeite asked from the kitchen.

Rei rolled her head back and closed her eyes, "Oh, I forgot. It was taken out a couple of days ago"

Life just wasn't getting any easier for this raven haired city gal. Most of her furniture, and household conveniences were sold in order to pay for her monthly rent. Everything would've been better if her father hadn't stepped in. Ever since then she was too busy and hadn't concentrated on the income. By the rate things were going, she'd end up on the streets before next month.

"Did it break down?" he asked as he walked over and sat next to her.

"No, I'm just having problems. Very big financial problems" She stressed every word of the last sentence. "It also doesn't help that someone, up there, doesn't like me" Rei opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"Oh, I see. How long have you been living like this?" He slipped an arm around her waist and tugged her closer to him. Rei stiffened, and eyes widened, all her nervousness was swarming back. The same shouting at the back of her head came rushing back.

"Um, for a few months. Not too bad considering I could've lost this place months ago" Her tone quivered as she spoke and reached a high pitch point when she felt his hand hold her more tightly.

"If you ever need help, you can ask me" He whispered mellifluously in her ear.

"I don't want to use you" The words stung because that was exactly what she was doing.

She thought by now she would've became accustomed to this, but he was turning out to be so different than from all the others that she felt sympathy for him. And a wave of regret on what she was going to do to him.

"Let's go" Rei patted his leg and began to get up.

Jadeite sighed as he watched her sorry attempt to get up. He chortled as she stumbled back and fell on his lap.

"I think I should carry you again"

"Yeah, I guess" Rei sighed.

"Rei Rei Rei..." The over weighted balding doctor approached her as he entered the room.

"I sprained my ankle" Rei explicated quickly.

"I see" He lifted her foot up for a close examination "Did you break anything?"

"Hopefully not" she snorted as she took back her foot.

"Well, I'll see what I can do. I'm guessing you haven't put ice on it? It's practically swelled up like a blow fish" the doctor chuckled as he wrote a few notes on her medical record.

"Thanks" she rolled her eyes and hopped down from the counter.

A while later Rei walked into the waiting room where Jadeite was waiting for her. She slowly limped her way over to him, each step causing her to wince. The doctor had wrapped a bandage around her ankle, not to mention he had packed her up with ice and she was now feeling numb.

"So how did it go?" Jadeite set the magazine down and looked up at her as she blew a few strands of hair away from her face.

She looked down at him and rolled her eyes and sighed loudly. "Let's just say me and him don't get along well"

"Oh I see. If you don't mind me asking, why do you dislike him?" Jadeite stood up and helped her to the exit.

"He's a...." Rei began but finished in a soft murmur "friend of my dad"

"Oh" Jadeite looked at her quizzically. "You don't like your dad?"

"He's not even fit to be called my dad. I hate him" she answered fiercely, her eyes flared with fire at the simple thought of him.

"Well," Jadeite glanced at his watch, it had just turned '12:00' "How about we go shopping or something fun?"

Rei groaned and looked up at him wearily "I can't. If I do I'll be even more broke. Pretty soon I'll probably be working the streets for money" Rei joked, but Jadeite's expression became grim.

"Just joking!" Rei laughed "I'm not prostitute material anyways"

"Good," Jadeite led her to his car and helped her in.

As soon as the both got settled in, Jadeite started the car and sped off to the nearest mall. Every once in a while he stole a precious little glance at her as she twiddled her thumbs and stared blankly out the window.

He had known her for only a week or two and already he knew he wanted her. But this time he wanted much more. More than before, more than he had ever been given. He was determined at achieving this goal in particular.

In the past he had bedded many women. Some more beautiful than Rei, others more gentle and kind, but something about her excited his senses and sent his nerves in overdrive. Trying to be rational was completely out of the question. His instincts had been put into play more and more when she was around. He didn't use his mind and think thoroughly anymore. All he could think of was the feeling of her in his arms.

One word alone described her, bewitching. And that was what she was doing to him without even knowing. He was enchanted by her. He hung onto every word that flew poetically from her soft pink lips, savored the feeling of every moment when she was near, memorized every inch of her captivating beauty, and fell for her without ever knowing...and still didn't.

Rei was startled from her reverie when they turned into the mall's entrance. Apparently she was so busy working the whole plan in her mind that she lost track of where they were going and everything else, basically.

"Jadeite, I told you I can't afford-"

"I'll buy everything, Rizu" He turned for a quick second and smiled lovingly.

Rei melted as her eyes met up with his when he smiled at her. And as quick as it appeared, it disappeared as he looked back to the road. Jadeite found a empty parking space and quickly parked in it. He got out of the car and hurried over to Rei's side and helped her out.

"You know you can't carry me all day. Your arms will fall off" Rei leaned onto him as they entered the mall.

"Don't worry I'm sure they have wheelchairs here" he smirked.

"You're treating me like I'm crippled. All I have is a sprained ankle!"

"Yeah, and you didn't even bother to pack it with ice. Now its the size of Russia, not to mention blue" He pointed out.

"Okay enough of berating me already. Geesh!" Rei smiled as her eyes found a line of wheelchairs by a wall.
