That I Promise To YouBy MoshiMoshiQueen
~Thoughts~
"Talking"
(Me Talking)
^Lyrics^
Mai's POV
"Here is some soup for you." He said placing it on a nightstand beside me.
He turned around to leave but for some strange reason I grabbed his arm and looked him in the eyes.
"You have changed so much Jou."
"Well time does that Mai."
"No something about you has changed just not your age or features but your eyes. You don't have that same look that…"
"That what?" he looked at me with questions in his eyes.
I let him go, "I don't know your eyes just changed."
I picked up the bowl and started eating so I could stop myself. ~I cannot let it happen again, it hurt us both and he knows it as well. What look was I talking about? ~
I closed my eyes to think for a moment but of course my past was the only thing that filled my mine. The moments we shared.
^ He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Me." He leaned in closer to me and kissed my lightly on the lips. ^
"That look." I said to my self.
"What look?" he asked again.
I mentally hit my self in the head. ~I can't believe I said that out loud. I cannot let these stupid emotions get to me again. All they do is cause pain. ~ I tried hard to think of something to say but all I could do is take another bite of the soup.
He stood there still looking at me for answer that I could not tell him. His eyes where do full of life when he was dueling such a long time ago and the fire and passion in his eyes when he…
I stopped my thoughts again, ~I cannot let it get to me. ~
I was trying hard not to let it get to me but all my thoughts were on him and that look. What made it worse was he sat next to me and looked my straight in the eyes.
"Talk to me Mai."
"I can't. It can't happen again. I can't let it happen once more."
"What can't happen Mai?"
"I just can't deal with it any more."
"Mai you are not making since what can't you deal with? Just please tell me so I can help."
"I can't let you help Jou because your part of the problem."
He looked at me with concern. "What am I doing or what did I do?"
"I can't deal with you Jou. Just don't ask about it any more."
"Fine I won't but you have to at least tell me what happened to you."
"All I did was get with a wrong man and he beat me. That's not serious at all, I have been hit harder." I started remembering the troubling thoughts of my past. My mother's screams keep ringing in my ears and my father's drunken stare was stuck in my mind playing over and over like a broken record player.
"You call that not serious."
"It is not serious as my father's hits. Look I really can't tell you much more but I fought off the man who hit this last time, he just caught me off guard that's all."
He reach over and placed his hand on mine and said, "Don't worry Mai everything will be better now.
But what he did not realize is that it could not be better if he was near me. ~I can't let another man take advantage of me again. I can't deal with any of the pain. ~
I pushed his hand off mine and started eating again. "Of course everything will be fine, I am not some weak women. I let my self-get to cocky and when my father hit me I was a child and could not fight him. Now I can fight any one off." ~anyone but you of course. ~ But I kept those words back.
"I will be back to check up on you." He said leaving the room.
I heard in on the phone talking to Yuugi about what to do but I blocked his conversation off and just ate the soup till it was completely gone.
I set the bowl on the nightstand and tried to not think at all because it made it worse to fight Jou off. I got up and walked to the balcony of his apartment and tried to forget anything that had to do with men or love or any feelings but of course the thoughts controlled my mind.
I looked up at the sky and felt someone touch my shoulder.
I did not bother to turn around because I could not face him. ~No matter how tough I am I can never fight him off not after what happened. ~
"Mai face me."
"I can't."
"Yes you can if I could face you then you can face me."
I started to get angry, "I don't want to face you Jou."
"What are worried will happen Mai? Do you think what happened before will happen again? Huh is that what you think? Answer me Mai."
"I can't let what happened last time happen. I am not worried about anything. I don't have to be." I said trying to act touch.
"Then look me in the face and fight me off Mai."
I hesitated and turned around and looked him in his clouded amber eyes that were filled only with confusion and sorrow.
My emotions were running wild and I could not handle looking at him but when I tried to turn around again but he grabbed my waist.
"Mai what are you afraid of?"
"I not afraid of any thing."
"You can't lie to me Mai."
I tried to look away from him but he put his face closer to mine and I felt his hot breath touch my lips and I could not stop my self from kissing him. It was taking all my self-control not to just hug him.
"Jou stop I can't do this. Why won't you just let me go?" I tried to glare at him but I couldn't, all I could hear was my heart beating.
"I'm not going to let you go Mai, I can't."
"Why not please just let me go." I felt his touch on my cheek and I closed my eyes and moaned but I tried so hard not to.
"Jou we can't, not again."
"Mai if you can't admit that last time was not a mistake then I'm not going to stop." He waited for my answer but my mind was not working.
~Was it really a mistake? ~ The question I asked my self for years was coming back to me.
Before I could answer I felt his lips touch my neck and all my control let loose and I placed my hands around his neck letting him have control of my body.
The questions of mistakes were gone and the answer was clear but could I handle it after?
His hot kissed made my whole body melt and I felt like a puppet. I knew I could stop him at any moment but I didn't. (Hehehehe this rated PG 13 so don't expect much. Also as you can see Mai and Jou are sort of OCC but not by that much Mai is still her strong self but she just can't fight off Jou or maybe she is just not trying to fight him off.)
I looked in his eyes and they where a shinning deep amber color once again. Those were the eyes I knew, they were filled with happiness and the humorous glint they had before.
He whispered in my ear, "You saved me before Mai and you can save me now. We can save each other."
"You don't need saving any more Jou."
"Yes I do. It took all the self control I had from not jumping off any bridges, the only thing that stopped me was you."
"I left Jou."
"And I did too and that was our only mistake."
"How do you know this whole thing is not a mistake?"
He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Because of your eyes just like you said. Your eyes were not a sparkling amethyst as I once remembered them. They use to be filled with passion and strength like they are now."
He touch my lips with his finger and stopped me from answering and held my head up and kissed my lips sending waves of heat to my cheeks and shivers down my spine.
The Next Morning
I woke up in his arms like before my thoughts were clouded with confusion and I was wondering if was going to walk away again but my body would not move.
Everything felt so right when I was in his arms. It felt like time had stopped just for us.
I watched his eyes open up and he smiled.
"And what is so funny?"
"That you are so strong yet you melt so easily by my touch." He said touching my cheek making me blush.
"Can't you see? There is a feeling that has come over me, Close my eyes. You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless. Not need to wonder why. Sometimes you get like this. You can't deny."
He started to laugh, "Even if you were beaten up you still are really strong." He said smirking at me.
" Cause I wanted to fly, so you give me your wings and time held his breath so I could see, yeah. You set me free."
I punched him in the arm, "You are such a pervert! I don't know why I even let you look at me before."
"Because you love me that's why."
"Yeah right."
" There's a will there is way. Sometimes words just can't explain. This is real, I'm afraid."
He smirked at me and kissed my lips passionately.
He smiled again and parted from my lips.
"What do you have to say now Ms. Tough Girl?"
"That you are a really good kisser."
"That's all, I guess I will just have to kiss you till you give me the right answer."
"I guess so." I smiled and kissed him.
"I guess the sun is just highin flyin. You make me restless. You're in my heart. The only light that shines there in the dark."
"Now what is your answer?"
"That you better kiss me again till I say stop."
"Hmm I like that answer." He smiled and kissed me again.
"Cause I wanted fly so you give me your wings and time held his breath so I could see, yeah. You set me free."
"I liked the last answer but it was still wrong." He said tickling my sides.
"Well I guess you will just have to keep on kissing me."
"Hmm could do that or I could just make you melt till you start talking." He got a mischievous look on his face and started kissing down my spine.
"When I was alone. You came around when I was down. You pulled me threw and there is nothing that I wouldn't do, for you."
I smiled, "Ok maybe I love you too."
"Now that's the right answer."
"Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings and time held his breath so I could see, yeah."
He put a big smirk on his face, "You melt in my arms way too fast Mai."
"Oh well you did a little bit of melting your self Mr. Tough Guy."
"Me? Never."
"Oh really."
"Well maybe I did melt but only for you."
"And it will stay that way or else you will have hell to pay."
"Is that your promise to me?"
"That is my promise to you."
You set me free.
