Roberto x Ran
Chapter 4
My nose twitched and I breathed in deeply. "Hmmm.food." I said as I yawned and stretched. The smell of my fathers cooking filled the air. Downstairs a wonderful sight greeted me. My father dressed in cut off shorts and a blue apron with cute little ducks on the front, which was originally meant for me, singing along with the radio as he cooked.
"Good morning." He sang.
" Morning." I said as I got myself a drink and father placed some food down for me. " Mmm.there's nothing like brown eggs and soft bacon."
" You don't want to eat do you?"
"No, I love your cooking. Not many people can turn white eggs into something that looks oddly like an omelet but brown and crunchy and might I add the Cajun style soft bacon is wonderful."
My father began taking my food away, saying that I didn't need to eat. Swiping my plate I smacked his hand away.
Breakfast was entertaining as I continued to make fun of my fathers' form of cooking. Living with my father all my life conditioned me to enjoy the taste of Cajun style a.k.a. burnt foods. It also has made me find a new and devote appreciation for take out.
After my burnt breakfast I asked my father for money so that I could go and get me an outfit for my date with Roberto. Once I got he money from him, which was like pulling teeth from a hungry tiger, I was out the door and on my way to Hinata's house.
Once Hinata and I have gotten together and too the mall the fun had begun. I was looking for something different. I wanted to look sexy but not like hot slut. I really didn't want to go on my first date wearing my usual clothes.
Hinata and I spent day going from store to store trying to find my outfit but failing miserably. We ended up laughing at most of the clothes and busting into fits of giggles after we tried them on. By the end of the day I had yet to find what I was looking for.
" So what do you want to look like?"
" No but I know I don't want to look cheap. I want to look good without looking hard up and easy."
"Hard up." Hinata said behind a giggle.
Laughing with her I spotted something that would be perfect. Dragging Hinata behind me and into the Cheap Andy's I found my outfit.
As Hinata and I rode the bus back home I realized something. I had spent the day looking for an outfit and talking about it to no end, that I didn't notice a key element in all of it.
"I don't know when it is!"
"Don't know what, what is?"
"The date! I totally forgot to ask when it is. God this has totally got to be a new record for me." I said smacking my forehead.
" Ooh relax Ran just call him."
" And say what?"
" Just tell him you wanted to make sure about the time or something."
"Real smooth Hinata, real smooth no wonder you're still single."
"Cheap shot and besides he's just waiting for the right time."
I didn't want to hurt my best friends feeling by telling her; that if Batsu had not asked her yet, he wasn't anytime soon. So naturally I smiled and told her she still had a chance. We still had two more years of high school left.
That evening I called Natsu to tell her the news. She was more than surprised to find out that I had a date with her friend. Thankfully she gave me his number. Once off the phone with Natsu I called Roberto. " Hello may I speak to Roberto?"
" Who's this?" a little voice said on the other end.
" I'm a friend."
" A girl friend?"
" No. is Roberto home?"
"What do you want with my boyfriend?"
Starring at the phone I thought I had dialed the wrong number, so I hung up. Dialing the number again I asked for Roberto.
{1}"Hola, quien es?" I heard a little boy say on the other end.
"Hello?" I questioned thinking I had dialed the wrong number yet again or Natsu gave me the wrong number.
{2}" Como te puedo ayudar?"
" Sorry I think I have the wrong number." I said hanging up the phone.
Frustrated I dialed what hoped to be Roberto's number one more time.
{3}"Ni hao, zhe shi shei?" A child's voice said in Chinese. It seemed to sound like the other child I had spoken too but slightly different. I couldn't really tell being that this one spoke Chinese. Luckily I did know a bit of Chinese.
{4}"Ni hao, wo ke yi he Roberto Miura shuo hua ma?" I answered in the best Chinese I knew.
" Quick, how you say sorry you got the wrong number in Chinese?" I heard the little voice whisper.
" What are you two doing?" I hear a woman ask.
" Nothing mother." I heard the little boys' voice and a matching pair lie in unison.
The female voice that must have been the mother must have grabbed the phone and began scolding, what I found out to be two boys.
" Hello who is this?" the mother asked a moment later.
" Hello, my name is Ran Hibiki and I was wondering is this the Miura residence?"
" Yes. How can I help you and please forgive my boys, they like to play games with the phone."
" S'ok I'm just glad I got the right number. Is Roberto home?"
" Hold just a moment please." She said in a lovely mothering tone.
Biting the side of my lips I waited. I could hear the sounds of the mother reprimanding her boys about how they need to act their ages. A moment later Roberto was on the phone. I was slightly nervous to talk to him. I didn't want him to think I was desperate by calling but I really needed to know.
" Hi Ran." Roberto said in a soft tone when he got on the phone.
" Umm.Hi Roberto, sorry to be calling you."
" It's ok I was going to ask Natsu for you number anyway."
"You were?"
" Yeah, see I totally forgot to ask you when you'd like to go out on our date."
I was so glad that no one could see my face at that moment. The smile I had for not having to ask him was incredible. "Oh really?" Trying to sound like it was something I hadn't thought of.
" How does about Friday around seven sound to you?"
" Fine, that'll be just fine."
Ok then bye then." I said hanging up the phone quickly, only to call right back. I forgot to ask where. Once I had given him my address I flopped back on my bed, smiling like a nut. I was going to have my first date and that absolutely felt great.
The days of the week passed slowly as I waited for Friday to come around. Hinata made fun of me while she helped me with what I should do on my date. In school, Batsu found out about my date and had loads to say about it. Basically he made fun of me and would joke that I would forget and stand him up. It didn't help that every night that week I had a weird dream about my date.
It all began with Roberto knocking on my door and me coming down to meet him. I had over slept and rushed to get dressed. When I open the door he is just starring at me like something's wrong. In the dream he tells me, " Ran.I think you umm...you forgot something." I look around and go, " Oh yeah I forgot my lipstick." I then run inside and get my lipstick, come back outside and say I'm ready to go. Roberto in my dream was still just standing there and he was blushing hard. I loved at Roberto like there was something wrong with him and waited a moment to see if he would say something. I could see his face turn colors until it was a bright shade of red and a thin stream on blood began seeping from his nose. " You okay Roberto?" I had asked him. He said nothing but turned his head away. I didn't even notice in the dream that in my rush to get ready, that I had totally forgotten to put on a shirt. There I stood in at my front door completely topless. I didn't even have a bra on. Taking his silence as nothing more than him being stunned about how cute I looked, I then grabbed his arm and began dragging him down my driveway. As we went down the driveway he mentioned again that I had forgotten something. Again I told him I had not forgotten anything and was ready to go. The dream ended with me asking him, " Is it just me or is it a bit breezy?"
I awoke from that dream feeling rather self-conscious. That was the just one of the many dreams. The last one I had, I didn't have any pants on and once I was completely naked. Everyday after the dream I kept checking to see if I was fully dressed. I told Hinata and Iincyo at lunch about my dream and we all agreed that I needed to stop stressing about what I was going to wear or I was going to do something stupid like that for real.
"You were topless?" Hinata gasped.
" That is so embarrassing." Iincyo added.
" I know."
" You need to relax about this date thing Ran." Iincyo said nodding her head.
" Yeah, or you liable to really do that." Hinata added.
" I'd die! I'd crawl under a pretty rock and just die!" I said over exaggerating.
"You want us to come over and make sure everything goes well?" Hinata asked.
" No I think I can do it. I just need to relax and pray my father is no where near the house. I really don't want him around. I can make a bad enough impression all by myself. All I need now is for him pretending to be a real dad and scare Roberto away."
" You're dad is not that bad Ran." Hinata added as she and Iincyo laughed at how I spoke of my dad.
Now don't get me wrong I love my father but he's not like other fathers. He doesn't do the whole go to work five days a week and come home to watch television. No, my father is forever parading around the world entering these stupid fight completions and what not. Sometimes coming home looking like a Mac truck had hit him ran him over a few times and then dance on him and when he is home he does this whole homemaker thing. He tries to be both parents; since my mother passed on many years ago; for me when he's home. It's down right scary but I love him for trying.
My father and I have a very open relationship. I don't have to hide much from him and he trusts me a great deal. All in all I still don't want him home when Roberto shows up. Since I don't date often; okay not really ever; and he is going to want to do the whole I shall inflict fear into the boy and tell him I will kill him if he touches my daughter thing. As I said before I can embarrass myself enough for the both of us.
Friday afternoon I rushed home and began getting ready. My father wasn't home, thank god. I had a few hours before Roberto would show up, so I had time to mess around with the makeup I had. I have an entire draw full of different kinds of blush, mascara, lipsticks, nail polishes and other assortments of makeup that I never use. I always plan to but never find the time in the morning to put it on.
By six-thirty I had tried several different looks and decided on just a little lipstick and eyeliner. I put on my outfit and waited downstairs for him to show up. I called Hinata five times Iincyo four and was about to call Natsu when my doorbell rang. Me nervous.not one bit. Yes that was a lie but I will tell myself that until I believe it.
Opening the door I saw Roberto dressed in a simple short sleeved white shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans and that stupid visor. I smiled as we said our hellos and he commented on my choice of clothing.
" You look really nice." Roberto stated. I knew even if I couldn't exactly see his eyes that he was looking me over.
" Thanks." I smiled as I thought about what a good choice I made in my black Capri's and dark green mid drift. I was showing just a bit of skin, which screamed cute and I let my hair down for a change. I was in my opinion damned cute.
Roberto took me to a really nice place. It was a little outside restaurant. It was a nice night and everything seemed to be going well. I caught Roberto several times checking me out and it felt good.
" Roberto can I ask you something?"
" No."
"Okie dokie no questions then." I said in slight shock that he said no to quickly.
" What is it?"
" No it's ok you said no." Waving my head as if it was nothing important.
" I was just playing, come on tell me."
" No." I said in the same manner he did yet I couldn't pull it off with a straight face. " Ok that didn't work out like it was suppose to be." I giggled as Roberto started laughing at me. " Oh stop laughing." I said sticking out my tongue at him.
" You shouldn't stick that out unless you plan on using it."
"You can dream."
" Ahh. just kill a guys dreams.tease."
" Pervert."
" You know you like it."
I couldn't help but start laughing all over again. " You got some issues you know that right. Issue you need to resolve within yourself." I added between giggles.
" Yes and I'm quite fond of them, aren't you?"
" Yeah." I agreed.
" So what's your question or shall we continue on about the many things your tongue is useful for?"
" You are such a pervert man."
" No I'm not."
" Prove it."
" If I was a pervert I would have been looking down your shirt and grabbing you butt when we were on the bus. Oh and I would be rubbing on you leg like some horny stray but see I'm not, so ask you question already lady."
" Oh now you want to know, huh?"
" Yes woman."
" Well I don't want to ask you now."
Roberto shrugged his shoulders and went back to looking at his menu for a dessert. He remained silent for a while and only spoke when he was ordering his dessert.
" Aren't you gonna ask me what it was I wanted to ask?" I questioned frustrated that he had stopped playing our game.
" Nope."
" You're no fun. So I'm gonna ask you anyway. When I called you this little boy answered the phone, was that your brother?"
" Which one?"
" There is more than one?"
" Yeah I have twin brothers. So how many times did they get you?" he said with a smile on his face.
"Get me?"
" They pretend to be all sorts of things. I think my mother said something about Chinese this time."
" Oh well I know a bit of Chinese so it wasn't that bad but yeah they got me twice."
" Sorry about that." He apologized.
" No it's okay, it must be cool to have brothers and sisters. I personally don't have any but yours sounds fun."
" Well one day maybe you can come by and meet my family. I warn you they're extremely boring."
" I doubt it but okay, I'd like that." I smiled as I began eating his dessert that had recently arrived.
My first date followed with a nice walk. Roberto Held my hand and was quite the gentleman to me. We talked a lot about our families and our friends. He entertained me with the how he was convince that his little brothers were rejected alien babies, raised by monkeys and adopted by his mother because as he put it, " She has a soft spot for fuzzy monkeys".
The evening ended with Roberto and I standing on my front porch. Roberto told me that he had a nice time with me and I did the same. It was a lovely moment for me.
" You know what would make it even better?"
" What?"
" If you'd take off the hat so I could see your eyes." I said flicking the tip of it.
"That's all that'll make it better? And here I was thinking about a goodnight kiss."
" Oh a kiss would be nice but you want a kiss, I want to see your eyes. Kissing the eyeless man is not how I envisioned my first kiss."
Roberto gave a small chuckle and to me what seemed entirely too slow, removed his ever present sun visor. Reaching out I moved the hair from his face. Creamy hazelnut colored eyes is what awaited me. They were the kind of eyes you see on small puppies, small but fun of color and life. It was a shame that they always stayed covered by that funky blue visor.
" They're beautiful. You shouldn't keep them cover up. "
" I'm glad you approve."
" It's not like your ugly, ugly people are the only people who should cover up like that." I stated, taking his hat from him and wrapping my arms around his neck. " Now about that kiss." I said in a low yet sexy tone. Sexy being the major role I was going for.
Pressing my lips against his, I closed my eyes. His lips were dry but soft.
I was nervous and a bit worried about it. Being that I've never kissed a boy, What if I was a bad kisser?
My over imagination was hard at work, giving me all sorts of obscene scenarios of what could happen. None of them was being in my best favor.
Breaking the kiss, I looked up at Roberto. He said nothing and there was a bit of extended silence.
' I knew it! I'm a bad kisser! He must be so disappointed. He's got nothing to say.' I thought as little beads of water welled up in the corner of my eyes.
"Ran." Roberto began.
" I gotta go! " I said quickly turning and going for the door.
" What's wrong?" he asked.
" Nothing." I lied as I fumbled with my bag looking for my keys. " Stupid Bag!" I shouted when my bag slipped from my hand onto the floor.
Roberto immediately came to help me gather the contents of my purse, which were now scattered on the ground.
" Ran what's wrong? Did I do something?" he questioned.
" No.where are my keys!"
" Roberto grabbed my shaking hands. " Ran relax and tell me what's wrong."
" I said nothing okay." I lied again trying to yank my hands from his grasp.
" Then why are you crying." He asked as my face betrayed my words.
" I am not crying. I just want go home."
" You are home. Look Ran I don't know what's going on with you and I gather you don't want to talk about it. But I don't like to see you upset much less crying. If I did something I'm sorry." He said letting go of my hands and lifting my face to meet his.
He looked so concerned it was killing me. Ever have someone give a look like you're breaking their heart.me neither until that moment. It was the very same moment I realized that I didn't like it either.
Sighing in my defeat, " You didn't do nothing, it's.it's."
" It's what?"
"It'sjustthatIknowI'mabadkisserandthatsucksbecauseit'smyfirstkissandthesesho uldn'tsuckandyou'realldisappointednowandstuffandthinkthatwasawasteoftimeandn evergonnawannaseemeagainandthatsucksbigtime'cuzIreallylikeyouandhadagreattim eandIscreweditallupcuzIkisslikeadogandit'snotfair. It's so not fair man!" I whined all in the one shaky breath it too me to say all of that.
Roberto's eyes widened a bit, tiled his head to the side and looked completely confused.
" SEE!" I whined throwing my hands in the air carelessly. Tears again welled up. My first date that was going well turned out ruined because of my inadequacy to kiss. There was no chance of him ever wanting to go out with me again. What guy wants to go out with a girl who can't kiss? I'll tell you no one. I might as well find that pretty rock and get a home sweet home sign. Stamp a sign on my forehead that says " defective". Tomorrow every one I know and loads I don't will know me as, " The girl who kisses like a dog".
It didn't make it any better when Roberto finally decided to make a sound. He laughed at me.
" Roberto Miura you so suck!" I shouted.
" Wait, wait. I'm not laughing at you."
" Yeah right okay sure whatever!"
" I'm not."
" Then what's so goddamned funny, huh?" You could say I was slightly pissed off.
" That I understood all of that."
" Huh?" I said raising an eyebrow.
" Everything you just said in the two seconds it too you to say it. I actuality understood every word you said."
" Oh.so now it's funny?"
" No, but I can't do anything about it unless you do two things. One calm down and two clam down." he said taking a step closer. He was just inches away from me. " Ran honey, I'm not disappointed in you and you're not a bad kisser. Where'd you get that idea from anyway."
"Well. you were so quiet, so I thought."
" I was quiet because I didn't want to ruin the moment."
" So I didn't suck?" I asked meekly.
" No you didn't suck.here let me prove it too you." he said.
" How you.ohhh" was all I got to say before he softly kissed me.
This kiss lasted longer and I wasn't as nervous as I'd been before. His hand cupped my face while his other snaked around my bare waist
Slowly our lips parted, looking up I could see he wore a slight triumphant smirk.
" Better?" I asked shyly.
" You know I think we should try that again.just to make sure." He smirked.
After my fifth try again, I assured him I had gotten the hang of it. Quickly picking up my keys, which laid forgotten on the second step of my porch. I bid him a goodnight and waved goodbye. I dared not try and hug him for I knew I'd end up locking lips with him again. Not that I didn't enjoy it, it was rather nice but five times was enough for a first date. Don't want to seem easy so soon. From behind my brown living room window curtains I watched him turn and leave.
Running upstairs, I immediately called Hinata. Telling all the details of my evening minus the part of me spazzing out. Once I finished with Hinata, I was still simply ecstatic. So I did what any red blooded girl would do. I hopped on my computer and wrote it all down in my dairy. I'm not too good with dairy's you actually write in; I frequently misplace them. With this it's always where I need it, I never lose it and my dad is computer retarded so he can never read it.
The next few days for me were spent on and overdose of joy. Frequently I would burst into song for no reason. My father would find me dancing in front of the mirror with an imaginary partner and would give me a confused look. Dad would walk away mumbling something about me and sugar.
It got even better when two days after my date; there was a message on the machine form Roberto asking me out again. I saved the answering machine tape.neurotic.me.just a bit.
When I called him back that night, we stayed on the phone for hours. Well it was more like five hours and forty-seven minutes; I counted. The next night he called me and the night after that I called him. Every night except for Thursday we spoke. Thursday he had late night practices.
By the time of our next date, I was more relaxed about it. There was like no real pressure to make a good impression this time around. Roberto had already witnessed a freak out, a spazz out, a bot with tears and self-doubt in person. I had already cursed, lost stuff, found it, fallen off the bed and done an assortment of other things on the phone as well.
Yet I wasn't the only one doing stupid stuff while on the phone. I've heard him argue with Erton and Nelson, chased them through the house, busted his behind, and been scold by his mother for having a messy room. I've listened to him eat and attempted to hold a conversation and once I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of hearing him scream like a girl. Apparently Nelson thought it would be funny to put Erton put tarantula in his bed. I did however feel sorry for the twins when I heard his chase them down and string them up, upside down in the closet.
This time around I wore a lovely dress Hinata, Iincyo and I picked out. It was a cute little misty gray sleeveless number. Cut about three inches above the knee with little white embroidered butterflies on the left bottom corner. Voting against leaving my hair loose because it was rather hot. I pinned it up in a nice twist with accented my new sliver silver string butterfly earrings.
I meet Roberto outside instead of at my house. My father was home and in a particularly foul mood. I can't quite say why but from what I could catch between his grunts and mumbles. He'd won the completion he had entered but was called by some reporter a copy or clone of someone. Personally I didn't care, I was just happy he came home with all his teeth this time. I truly hate having to drag my father to get his teeth put back in. You'd think a man of my fathers' size and caliber wouldn't be such a wuss when it came to going to the dentist. I wonder about him sometimes.
Sitting the park I talked to an old lady feeding the birds while I waited. By the time Roberto arrived wearing the nicest black shirt ever; that statement had nothing to do with the fact that it fit snug enough for me to see his well defined chest and ever so sexy abs from where I sat; I had been on my third old lady. For some reason or another once we began talking, they left shortly after.
I had made it a point not to be late. However I can never pull anything that has to do with time and me. Instead of being late as I usually am, I ended up being early.two hours early. At least I wasn't late and that's all that counts.
" So what do you want to do tonight?" he asked me after he gave me a small peck on the cheek and a squeeze, then commenting on how cute I looked.
"Duuno.movies?"
" Ok." he agreed.
As we stood in line for the movies Roberto said I could pick what we were going to see. Then he stated that he didn't want to see that after we already had the tickets. I doubt he knows I heard him. I thought the movie was going to be exciting. I had heard it was action packed and all that good stuff they tell you so you can spend your money but nothing prepared me for what happened.
{5} After we got out snacks, which consisted of popcorn and a soda for him and about six dollars worth of candy for me, we found our seats. As we waited for the movie to begin I started looking around to see who else had come to see the same picture. That's when I spotted this mass of yellow hair. It was the boy I'd meet a while ago from Gedo High School. He was sitting next to some red headed girl I didn't recognize.
They didn't look like there were together because they both looked extremely annoyed.
"Hey, Roberto isn't that Edge back there?" I asked Roberto tapping him on the shoulder.
Turing and taking a good look he says, "Yep, that would be him.oh well lets try to enjoy the movie anyway okay."
Both of us broke into a fit of laughter after that. " I gather you don't like him much?"
" Eh.you could say that. I mean I'm not gonna go out my way to say hello or nothing."
" Oh well." I said shrugging my shoulders and began work on my huge bag of sweets.
" You're gonna make yourself sick." Robert informed me looking at the mass concoction of sugar and more sugar I had.
" Nope." I said popping several yellow M&M's in my mouth. Yes, they were all yellow. I painstakingly made sure of that. " Sugar is you're friend." I added slipping one past his tightly closed lips when I heard the distinct sounds of people arguing.
Being as nosey as they come, I turned to see who was making all the noise. Not to my surprise, it was Edge. From what I could tell he was telling some guy with bright red hair and a hideous yellow outfit on, to go fuck him self. There was also some other boy there with long shabby looking brown hair and an equally ugly outfit standing here with the red headed boy.
Turning and kneeling in my seat I watched the events unfold. First it started out slowly. Basically Edge and the red headed boy were throwing insults at each other. It didn't take too long for those words to turn into fist. All the while the girl that was siting next to Edge sat there looking as if didn't care about what was going on.
" What the hell is going on?" Roberto asked as he too turned to see. Telling Robbie that this would make a great story, I grabbed my camera out of my bag. He made a comment about that the reason my bag was so big. Then told me to sit back down and get my nose out of business that didn't involve me.
Totally ignoring him I jumped out of my seat and began going to the back of the theater to get some great pictures of the lovely fistfight that was occurring. This was gonna be a great story and I was gonna be the one to tell everyone about it.
* Local teens from Gedo high School start fight in local movie theater. * I thought of my articles' headline as I snapped my first shots.
Roberto wasn't far behind me. Pulling me out of the way of a stray fist in the process. " Woman, you can't be here!" he stated.
" But this is great. Look at them. OOOOOO.that had to hurt!"
" You're gonna get yourself.Damn!" he exclaimed totally losing what he was going to say as he saw a wonderful yet scary display of violence.
Edge had done something I had never seen in my entire life. It was this move that involved a lot of blood and a knife. Roberto and I couldn't even turn away if we wanted too.
Roberto blindly felt for my hand and pulled me back into one of the now emptied isles. Once the fight had started everyone else had run out of the theater. Holding me tightly as the theater light began to dim.
I was surprised that none of the other patrons that had run out when this began had not, by now alerted security. Thinking everything was over when Edge beat this poor boy to a nice red pulp, I was able to blink again. Which meant I could take more pictures. Before and after shots were always good.
" Ran I don't think this is a good time to be taking pictures." Roberto whispered as he moved the camera from my face and inched us back a bit more.
" Why, this is some good stuff?"
" That's why." He said pointing out the moving shadows around us.
" What the fuck is that?!" I asked aloud.
" Nothing good." He replied as he again moved us farther into the row, away from the action.
He was right. It wasn't anything good. In fact it was terrible, I can admit I didn't like the boy from Gedo much but I never would have wanted this to happen to him. Twenty or so guys came out from nowhere. All of them ganged up on this one boy. Shaking my head as I heard him cry out to the girl I didn't know to stay out of it.
Hugging myself in horror as I watched this thin blonde boy get the living snot beat out of him. Even as his hair stood about two feet high, you couldn't see in underneath the mass of his attackers.
" Oh my god!" I whispered as I heard him cry out in pain. " Roberto we've gotta."
" No." Roberto sternly cut me off.
" But."
" NO."
"Why?"
" NO!" he stated tightening his grip on me.
It was hard to see everything after the house lights went off and the movies started. Yet little by little the mass of bodies dwindled and for a moment I could see the girl fighting along side him.
When I saw her fight I finally placed her face with a person I knew. She was Zaki Himezaki from the all girls' school Seijin and if I remember correctly leader of an all girl gang. What she was doing here with Edge was beyond me but I was happy she helped him, even if he was screaming at her.I think.
Everything was over when both Edge and Zaki ran out of the theater. Not hat I blame them, I'd have run a long time ago. The guys that were still conscious ran after them leaving only Roberto and I in the empty theater.
" That was real fucked up Robby."
" It wasn't our business."
" I don't care that was still fucked up. We could have helped. It was like twenty to one. " I said angrily." We should have, we could've helped."
"Look honey, my only concern right now is you and as long as you're safe I don't care about anything else."
" But still man." I said shaking my head.
" But nothing, Ran look these people fight like this al the time. I was not gonna let you get into it and get hurt."
" I can take care of myself."
" Yeah that's all well and good but you're out with me and I am not gonna let you get hurt. If not helping him was wrong, oh well. His well being is none of my concern.yours is. Now you can either stand here and argue with me or we can get the hell out of here before they think we did it."
Silently agreeing I looked over to where the bodies of the fallen laid and quickly snapped a shot. Roberto gave me the look of " I can't believe your doing that." and in returned I gave him an the innocent look that screamed "what?"
When we got outside of the theater it was unbelievable. There were cops and reporters everywhere. The dark night sky was live with the colors of lights flashing in every color. Roberto made comments about how he knew he shouldn't have spent his money on the movie while I, seeing my chance to be seen for my reporting skills. I ran over to one of the many reporters, bumped her out of the way and gave it my all.
I knew there was always the possibility that someone will notice me. I heard my idol Satchiko Shihome had her big break just like this.ok not like this but close enough for me.
Later that evening Roberto and I spoke about what had happened. Neither of us knowing really what had happened and basically made up scenarios of what caused the scene. Roberto was more concerned with the fact that our date had been ruined.
" Are you nuts? That rocked!"
" No it didn't."
"Robbie we got to see a real action packed picture, so what if it wasn't exactly on the screen and I got to be on TV and it was great!"
" You're a strange girl." He added as I continued on.
" And did you see all those guys. It's a miracle that Edge survived and when Zaki jumped in from what I could see was WOW! She was kicking butt too. Did you say something?" I asked.
" Nope nothing at all." He replied.
" Did you see the move he did.it was like hah! He was like ha and ha and take that! All that was missing was for him to go "talk to my little friend" like in the movies!" I exclaimed and acted it out the best I could in the street.
" Calm down before you hurt yourself." Roberto laughed as I attempted to throw a kick.
Forgetting I was wearing a skirt, I kicked and tipped over. Thankfully Roberto was there to catch me before I hit the ground. Laughing at myself I brushed a few stray strands of hair out from my eyes, pulled down my skirt and straighten myself up.
" Well you get the point." I stated trying to regain my dignity. "Robbie can I ask you something?" I questioned as we sat at the same bench I occupied earlier.
" Yeah go ahead."
Adjusting his visor, that I had stolen from him earlier I began. " Umm.oh crap!"
"What?"
" I forgot what I was gonna say."
Roberto laughed." Okay, then let me ask you then. Give you some time to get those gears working again." he joked.
" You funny!" I said sarcastically sticking out my tongue.
" Didn't we already talk about you and that tongue?"
" Shut up and ask already." I said as I caught myself almost sticking out my tongue again but instead scowling.
" What would you say if I asked you out again?" he began.
" I'd say yes."
" Okay, what would you say to me kissing you now?"
" I'd say yes."
" In public?"
" Lets give the birds something to talk about." I smirked.
" What about getting my hat back?"
" I'll think about it." I replied giving him an evil grin.
Roberto raised and eyebrow and gave me a devilish look. I should have known to run then. I should have known to move quickly. Yet being the almighty slow one that is I, I sat there.
I ended up on the grass laying on my back begging for mercy. Unlike most guys Roberto didn't get upset that I wouldn't give him back what was his. No that would be too simple. The guy I liked had to be of the playful type. The guy I liked had to be the one to chase me around a park bench and down a grassy hill, tickling me.
It began with him poking me while asking for his hat as I swatted his hand away trying to hold in a giggle. Then me jumping up as he first began to tickle me and now demanded his hat back or I was to suffer the consequences. Which of course I refused to do and laughed at him. After circling the bench quite a few times, he decided that the best way to get me was to jump over the bench.
Squealing in surprise I turned tail and ran. Did I mention that I was wearing a short dress? Who ever made the dress did not have running in mind. Especially not down a grassy hill in the dark.
Needless to say I didn't get far before getting caught in the dress, tripping over my own feet, unceremoniously squeaking, roll for bit and stopped by Roberto. Who might I add sat his big butt on me and tickled me until there were tears rolling down my cheeks. I was begging for mercy and close to having an accident.
Finally letting up Roberto stopped his attack and I could catch my breath. Sliding his hat off my head he looked at me with a smile that made him look about a total of five years old, " I win!"
" Off. you heavy!" I said giving my best pout.
Sliding to the side Roberto stretched out beside me. Sitting up I waited a moment for him to get nice and comfortable before pouncing on him. Straddling him and pinning his hands down I smiled. " I win! Now you shall suffer my wraith!"
" Slowly I leaned in until our lips almost touched. His breath was heavy and deep. ' Either he is way out of breath, which I highly doubt. Or he likes being pinned down. Undercover FREAK!' My mind screamed as I slid my tongue out and touched his lips. Wetting his lips with my tongue I could feel him move his tongue to meet mine. Our tongues touched, as did our lips. Deeply we kissed on the park lawn as our tongues danced a slow balled.
I could feel Roberto shift under me several times. Breaking our kiss I placed a soft kiss on his closed lips. Letting go of his hands I brushed a few single blades of grass from his hair and removed his visor. I could see his eyes clearly.
" Ran you know I really like you." he whispered to me.
Once again leaning down against him. A gentle kiss he placed on my lips.
" I should hope so." I softly replied. Grasping his bottom lips within mine I lightly sucking on it. Which was another of Hinata's ideas might I add. As I lightly sucked on his lip, Roberto let out a low moan and again shifted beneath me. His hands found their way to my waist, up my back and came to rest in my hair.
Pulling away slightly I kissed his now swollen lips. I kissed Roberto once more. Again letting him explore the insides of my mouth. Roberto arched his back slightly and I could feel him breath in deeply. The feeling of him moving under made was unlike anything that I had even felt, resulting in me let out a soft gasp and pressing into him. A little longer we lasted together like that until I was abruptly picked up and placed gently on the grass. Roberto quickly sat up and stated that it was time to go.
" Robbie what happened? Did I do something wrong?" I asked quite confused.
" Nope." Was all he said in response to my question.
" So I was doing good then?"
" Yep."
" Then what's the problem?" I asked. I wasn't used to one-word answers.
" That is the problem."
" Huh? Okay you do know that made like no sense what so ever right.but okay.I guess." I said still confused and feeling quite odd.
Things didn't improve as we walked to my bus. Roberto rode me all the way home, unusually silent. Not that he's real talkative to begin with but usually he'd be giving me silly looks or making faces at me; neither which happened. He quietly sat next to me on the bus holding my hand. Other than that I was left to talk to myself. Trying to start a conversation became rather pointless. Having a conversation with someone who is avoiding looking at you and uses one word answers and grunts is not a having a conversation at all.
By the time we reached my stop, I'd had as much of silence as humanly possible.
" What bug crawled up your ass and died?"
" Excuse me?" he asked looking surprised.
" You heard me, what bug crawled up your leg, in you ass and dropped dead? One minute we're playing around and doing the whole guy girl thing. Next thing your not talking to me and doing the that distant shit. Well let me tell you something Robby, I don't like it. So tell me what the problem is or like.tell Me." okay that last part didn't come out quite as I planned but I think I got my point across.
" It's nothing." He said finally saying more than one word.
" That's not gonna work for you, you're not me. Nothing is never nothing, nothing is something you don't want to tell me."
" It's nothing Ran."
" Bull shit!"
" Look Ran, it's nothing okay and I don't want to talk about it."
" So it is something."
" You don't know when to quit do you?"
" Nope I don't. So out with it."
" Yes okay." he sighed in defeat. " It's something and I still don't want to talk about it. So please just drop it."
" Why? If we gonna start a relationship, you gonna have to open up."
" You wanna start a relationship?"
" Oh fuck me man!" I cursed.
"Umm."
" Oh tell me I didn't just say that out loud. Please tell me I did not just say that out loud and you heard that. Oh I'm so stupid!"
" I'm gonna take a guess on this and say yes."
" Damn it Ran! Didn't we say we were gonna think shit out before we say it. " I scolded myself. " This is why no one ever tells us shit." I continued. " Now ya gone and told him you were thinking about relations hips. Watch now you done scared him away. Away to go Ran!"
Waving his hand in my face, " hey Ran, I'm still here. Once you finish arguing with yourself I'll be right over here," he said as he leaned up against the bus stop and watched my mini-bout with sanity.
Stopping as his words reached the reaction time of my brain, in a very un- girlie like fashion I smacked myself on the forehead. "Sorry 'bout that. The counsel held an emergency meeting about my mouth."
" I can see. Did they reach a verdict yet?"
" Yeah." I said running my hand through the front of my hair to distract myself from my embarrassment.
" And what was the verdict?"
" We all agreed, I need to work on thinking before I speak and they also added that I'm a total ass."
"Tell the counsel they're wrong. You're far from an ass but if the subject of your ass comes up, tell them to put me in the vote that you have a nice one."
" You are stupid!" I laughed.
" And as I was told once.and you're point is?"
"Ha-ha now stop changing the subject. What was wrong with you before?"
" Nothing Ran, I'm sorry if I bothered you and all. There were just something I had to think about that I will not talk to you about."
" And why the hell not?"
" Because you're a girl."
" Yeah so, what's it like secret boy stuff?"
" Exactly. Now could we please drop the subject."
" Fine, keep you stinky boy secrets." I pouted. " I didn't want to know anyway."
Dispute my annoyance with Roberto the evening ended on a good note. I waited around much to his dismay until his bus arrived and it was safely on its way. Inside my home my father was sitting in the basement doing what he called training. Sticking my head through the open basement door I yelled that I was home.
" Dinner's in the fridge, heat it up!" he responded.
Once I showered up and changed my clothes I went to see what my father was calling dinner tonight. Not at all too surprised when I saw a plate of rice and mixed vegetables awaiting me with a funky orange colored milkshake looking drink I was suppose to wash it all down with. Heating up the food while I poured that concoction down the sink, I looked at the phone and wondered if Roberto had gotten home yet. I told him to call me when he got in.
After I made sure Dad was washed and in bed; much to his resistance; at a decent hour. I went and relived my day in my diary. The sound of my phone ringing brought me out of my memories. Hopping up from where I sat at me desk, I went for the phone. As I threw clothes, books, several pieces of things I wasn't too sure what they belong too around and reminding myself that I should really get to cleaning my room, I searched for the phone. It shouldn't have too hard to spot. It was big, pink and shaped like Hello Kitty.
"Hello!" I said out of breath.
" Hello, Ran." I heard Roberto ask low enough that I almost couldn't hear him.
"Robbie! You got home okay?"
" Yeah, sorry it's so late. My parents made me do some chores."
" S'okie dokie. I put dad to sleep already." I said dumping everything off my bed and got comfortable. I spoke to Roberto until we were both whispering and making no sense. Wishing him a good night I hung up the phone and relished in the fact that I had a cute guy wanting to talk to me for hours on end.
The weeks that pasted after that were much the same. I wrote an article about what had happened that night at the Movie Theater for the school paper. The pictures I took turned out to be great, only they were a bit too violent for the paper and were left out.
Hinata and I were constantly found talking quietly under the tree at lunchtime. Whenever Batsu and Kyosuke would show up, we would get silent and we were told it was kind of eerie the way we were acting.
" What are you two talking about that's so secret." Batsu would ask.
" None of you business." I would tell him, as Hinata would shake her head in agreement.
" Didn't you know Batsu, Ran's got her self a boyfriend." Kyosuke added.
"So how much you paying him?" Batsu asked.
"Ran is not you Batsu she doesn't have to pay for a date. " Iincyo came to my defense.
This would send Kyosuke in to a fit of laughter along with Hinata and me. Batsu on the other hand didn't find it as funny as we did. Batsu would screw up his face, cross his arms and proclaim that he didn't have to pay to get a date.
From then on Batsu said that he wouldn't believe that I had a guy until he saw him with his own eyes. The girls and me would just ignore him and go about our girl talk. The weekend that followed we went to visit Natsu.
Natsu cooked for us and she informed me that she rather enjoyed seeing my face on the television and had taped it so she could use at as blackmail in my old age.
" So what's up with you and Roberto?" Natsu asked.
" What you mean?"
" You know what I mean don't play stupid."
" Nothing." I said unable to hide my smile.
" Ooooo look Natsu you got Ran blushing!" Hinata exclaimed.
"I am not!" I protested.
"So now what, you and Roberto a couple or what?"
" No.not yet at least. "
Hinata and Natsu laughed.
" So here's the big question.How's he kiss?"
"Natsu!"
" What?" he asked innocently. " Like you haven't kissed him yet.you have kissed him right?"
" Yeah she's kissed him and from what she tells me, it's Niiiceeeee!" Hinata said exaggerating the words nice and making kissy noises.
" I did not say that. I said it was okay."
" Lair!" Hinata said throwing one of Natsu's couch pillows at me.
" Oh then he's bad.what a shame." Natsu said as she shook her hand in disbelief. "You'd think since he's part Brazilian he'd be good at it."
" Yeah I read that those tropical men are suppose to be hot!"
" What have you been reading Hinata?" I asked as I laughed at her.
" Books."
" Hina's been sneaking into the adult section of the bookstore and looking at the sex books." Natsu added.
" I'm not the only one, Ran came with me too." Hinata stated in her defense.
Natsu gave me a cheeky grin and laughed at us both, calling us both perverts. Then she shocked us both when she wondered aloud why she wasn't invited along.
That's how I ended up standing outside of Barnes and Nobles with Natsu and Hinata. All of us had decided that since we'd left Natsu out of our last adventure, we would all go this time.
Dressed in jeans and a tee shirt, I tried to look as old as possible, a woman of the world or at least a university student.
Walking into the bookstore we had a plan. We would split up and meet in the back. Hinata made her way through the romance section; Natsu went to the cooking section, while I roamed around aimlessly.
Meeting in the back of the store, we all looked around to see if anyone was around.
" So which one?" Natsu asked looking at the rather large selection of sex books.
'The Art of Sensuality Sex, Love and Limerence-The Experience of Being in Love, Sexual Honesty: By Women for Women, The New Joy of Sex, How to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques That Will Blow His Mind, Guide to Getting It on!: The Universe's Coolest and Most Informative Book about Sex for Adults of All Ages, The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex, Hot Sex: How To Do It, The Best Sex You'll Ever Have!: 101 Exciting Positions for Ecstatic Sexual Fulfillment.' The titles went on and on.
" Pleasure for you and you.I don't get it. Shouldn't it be for you and him?" Hinata questioned picking up one book.
Natsu leaned over and whispered what it meant to Hinata, who immediately dropped the book whispering, "EWWW! That is so nasty!"
Coving my mouth as I giggled. Picking up a book titled '101 ways to please your man.' Upon opening the book my friends huddled around me as I turned the pages in complete amazement.
" Excuse me ladies." someone said behind us.
Being so completely engrossed with what was on the pages, " oh yeah, go ahead." I said moving out of the way so whoever it was could pass.
Going back to the pages of this book. I pointed out pictures and diagrams that looked amazing and absolutely not possible for the human body. Suddenly the book was no longer in my hands. It was in the hands of a man who from the tag he wore, worked at the store.
"Busted!" I said under my breath.
" Exactly what are you little girls doing here?" He asked tapping his finger on the book.
" We are not little girls." Natsu said standing up straight and hoping this man would believe her.
"Oh really?" he replied." Then how old are you?"
"Eighteen!" Natsu said proudly as if she was not lying.
Pursing his lips and raising an eyebrow he stretched out his hand." I.D please."
All of us looked at one another with the same look of, 'Oh Crap!' "Well you see." I began trying to come up with a lie that would no result in getting my father called.
" It's like this, we're doing a report on the psychosexual behavior of humans and the influence written material has on the population." I said as I gave the girls the look of get ready to run if this big load of crap that was spewing out of my mouth didn't fly.
" The what?" this store clerk asked not having a clue about what I was saying, not like I did either but that's beside the point.
" As I said before," I sighed as if I was rather annoyed with having to repeat myself. "My classmates and I are researching for a project on the psychosexual behavior of the human mind and the influences this particular brand of literature has on the population and the individual. Now if you wouldn't mind, can you answer a few questions? Do you read this form of literature, and if so, do you find it enjoyable in anyway and why? Oh and may we have your name.Satoshi is it? Mr. Satoshi would you feel comfortable with us documenting your name for reference purposes? "
Mr. Satoshi something or another eagerly gave us his opinions on what he thought psychosexual meant. He might have even been right, I couldn't tell. I'd have to find out what psychosexual meant first but that would have to wait.
Our lovely, helpful yet stupid store clerk then helped pick out some books and assisted us with our purchase of three books, one for each of us.
Once out of the store and safely two blocks away ass of us stopped and busted into giggles. We couldn't believe that the store clerk fell for my line of psychobabble, helped us find good books and even asked for us to tell him how our report turned out.
For the rest of the day the girls and I spent it locked away in Natsu's bedroom looking through our new books.
" OH that is so nasty!" Natsu yelled out as she pointed out a picture of a woman that was performing what was called "oral sex" on a man. " I am never doing that." she added.
" I dunno.I would. It doesn't look that bad." Hinata said while she blushed profusely.
" We know you would. Cause you're a freak!" I added.
"AM NOT!"
" OH Batsu let me suck on your long hard cock! " I joked in a dreamy voice.
"Oh shut up!" Hinata said pelting me with one of Natsu's many plushies.
" I wouldn't say that!" she screamed.
After a while of making fun of the book and pointing out what Hinata would and wouldn't do if Batsu asked her. Going home, it felt as if I was smuggling drugs into a foreign country. Creeping into my own house to stash the book in the bathroom. Right between the tampons and maxi pads. My dad will never find it.
The next day at lunch, while I sat working on my next article about school funded programs. Hinata and Iincyo were involved in a conversation with Kyosuke about something when Batsu showed up.
He had a smug look on his face and a load of food fit for three in his hands. Everything was going normal until Batsu goes," Hey Kyosuke wanna know what I heard yesterday?"
" What?"
" I was talking to Hatsumomo and it seems she was at the bookstore yesterday. You know the one her dad works at and guess what she saw?"
"Umm.lemme guess.books?"
"No stupid, she saw this one and that one there."
" Batsu, it is a bookstore. There's nothing exciting or much less interesting about that. " Kyosuke added taking off his glasses to clean them.
"No, no wait here's the good part. They were in the smut section looking at sex books."
Kyosuke said nothing. I was actually too into my article that I hadn't heard a word Batsu had said. Hinata on the other hand nearly died.
"So Hina, find anything interesting?" Batsu asked with a smirk.
"Batsu.Hinata would never do that, right Hina?" Iincyo said giving Batsu the evil eye. "Hina." She called again looking around for Hinata whom at the moment seemed to be missing. "Hinata!" she called out a bit louder. "Where'd she go?"
" I believe that would be her under the table" Kyosuke pointed out.
Taking no notice of this I didn't see Batsu laughing as Kyosuke told him to stop as he too was holding back laughter. Meantime Iincyo was trying to coax Hinata out from under the table.
I wasn't aware of any of this until I was forcefully yanked under the table. One minute I'm sitting at he table hunched over several pieces of paper. The next I'm under the lunch table rubbing my freshly bruised head, wondering what I was doing under the table in the first place.
Hinata was a wreck. I doubt the poor girl had ever been that embarrassed in her entire life. So was I once I found out what had occurred while I was dead to the world around me.
Thankfully Kyosuke came to our rescue. Telling Batsu that it must have been a bet. He firmly stated that we would never be looking at that of our free will.
" Yeah that's it! We were doing a dare!" I shouted from under the table.
"See, now stop it already." Kyosuke reprimanded Batsu.
"Yeah Batsu, stop harassing us!" I stuck my head out from under the table. " Ya big jerk!"
Even if Batsu did stop picking on us then, every so often for several days after. We could see him giving us like he just knew he was right and we were perverts. Hinata on the other hand had taken to being rather quiet and reserved there after.
The only real joy I had in my life for a while was being able to talk to Roberto at night. As the weeks passed we did get to go out a few more times. They thankfully weren't as eventful as the one before but enjoyable nether the less. I can honestly say the only thing that bothers me about him is when he becomes distant towards me. He usually gets that way after we kiss or make out for long periods of time. It makes me think I'm doing something wrong. I would talk to Hina or Natty about it but I feel kinda stupid. I don't know as much about guys as they do for I've never had a real interest in them before. They were just flat chested girls who piss standing up to me before. Roberto always tells me it's nothing and not to worry about it but I want to know.
**************************************************************************
Roberto
"Sweet dreams sweetie" I whisper into the receiver.
Clicking off the phone I sigh. Another evening spent talking to her. Countless hours pass unnoticed whenever she is involved. Time has no hold when I hear her voice. Her smile grabs hold of time, stilling it for me.
Running my fingers through my hair, I visualize her sweet innocent face with its slight traces of fading baby fat. Light hazy brown eyes filled with such energy and a smile that uplifts the soul, amongst other things.
I've known her for only a few weeks and since the first day I met her in the locker room. I've only thought of her. She is like no girl I have ever meet. She speaks her mind no matter what the consequence. There is nothing that brings her down from her natural high. She's not mousy and shy like most other girls. She has a natural aura of happiness that one can only bask in letting it fill you with the same joyous glow that surrounds her.
Closing my eyes I drop the phone onto the floor and just let my mind fill itself with thoughts of the beautiful girl who plagues my mind at all times. Allowing myself much needed freedom. Countless hours spent hindered as we spoke.
Images of her smile and sweet voice enticing me to do things I dare not while on the phone with her. Things I now envision her doing. Things I want to do with her, to her. If she only knew the things she does to me. I can't quite explain it but she does something to my hormones that shouldn't be legal. If she only knew what control she had over me. With a single touch she can have me in the palm of her hands with out any objections.
As I lay there I can clearly see her. I can remember what she wore, the style of her hair and how she smelled of sweet peach. Her head lay across my chest. I can nearly smell her next to me, a light hint of fresh peaches. It's all around me, engulfing me within her.
Slowly running my finger through her hair, Ran's image becomes solid. Her body flush against mine. Letting out a low sigh I can feel her arms around my neck. Her lips are soft and moist as she softly kisses me. Straddling my hips, my fantasy Ran undresses for me slowly. Exposing her creamy skin inch by inch.
Bringing my hips up I press against her in desperate need of contact. Ever so slowly I can see her breast appear from underneath her small shirt. Reaching out I touch her, massaging them softly. I can hear her moan slightly from my touch.
Inching up I sit. Again I take to massaging her firm breast. Her hand fined their way to my hair and entangles her fingers within.
I then flick my tongue over her nipples before taking one into my mouth. Sucking lightly and alternating with a light nibble. My fantasy Ran whispers my name softly. I love the way she says my name.
Yet she stops me and moves away slowly while never looking away. Her eyes are slightly closed; her cheeks are flushed, as is her skin. I watch her as she raises her shirt above her head and tosses it across the room. Her movements are slow and calculated. Slowly she wiggles out of her pants, which make her breast bounce slightly while the pants I had on became extremely tighter than they needed to be. There she stood only in her panties.
Ran ran her hands up my thighs, pushing me down until she was again on top of me. Taking hold of her mouth I kissed her. My hands worked their way over her newly exposed skin. As we kisses I would squeeze her butt and pull her closer into me. I wanted her badly. Parting her legs with my thighs I made sure that she knew this. Even though the fabric of my pants I could feel her heat.
I needed to be against her, I needed to feel her skin against mine or there was gonna be one hell of a mess in my pants. Eyes closed, for the first time I let go of her and went to open my pants.
Smacking my hands away Ran took over for me. Slowly she undid the button of my pants and even slower unzipped them. She was well aware of my want of her when my member sprang forward to greet her.
Ran was delicate with me. Cupping me with her hand and running her finger along the length. I could only lay and watch as she fondled me to her hearts content. Every time she ran her fingers across or took me within her grasp she sent waves through my body. All I was able to do was call out her name between my teeth as she gently stroked me.
Once she had her fill of touching me she again straddled my hips. Grabbing her by her hips, grinding into her. She was warm and moist coating me. I could hear her tell me she was ready as she picked herself up from me and took control, guiding me into her. I don't quite know when she discarded her panties and I didn't care. Slowly as her heat engulfed me I had to restrain myself from thrusting into her. I could feel myself stretching her inside. It felt like a perfect fit as if she was made just for me.
Once she was certain there was no more room she began to rock. Her hands place firmly on my chest I could feel her nails scrape against my skin. Fondling her breast as she grinded, never once lifting herself up.
Ran picked up the pace of her movements with ease building up a rhythm. It wasn't long before I could feel her nails dig into me as my name slipped from her lips. Hearing my name being called was all I needed to finally reach release.
Opening my eyes I gave a deep mournful sigh. Ran was not there nor was anything real. I was still alone in my bedroom. Everything was just a fantasy as it always was. Ran Hibiki was still across town sleeping soundly in her bed as I fantasized about her. Sitting up I reached for some tissue so that I could clean up my self imposed mess.
Once I was done cleaning up I decided that it was time that I do something towards making it real. I wanted Ran to be mine; hopefully she wanted the same thing.

My nose twitched and I breathed in deeply. "Hmmm.food." I said as I yawned and stretched. The smell of my fathers cooking filled the air. Downstairs a wonderful sight greeted me. My father dressed in cut off shorts and a blue apron with cute little ducks on the front, which was originally meant for me, singing along with the radio as he cooked.
"Good morning." He sang.
" Morning." I said as I got myself a drink and father placed some food down for me. " Mmm.there's nothing like brown eggs and soft bacon."
" You don't want to eat do you?"
"No, I love your cooking. Not many people can turn white eggs into something that looks oddly like an omelet but brown and crunchy and might I add the Cajun style soft bacon is wonderful."
My father began taking my food away, saying that I didn't need to eat. Swiping my plate I smacked his hand away.
Breakfast was entertaining as I continued to make fun of my fathers' form of cooking. Living with my father all my life conditioned me to enjoy the taste of Cajun style a.k.a. burnt foods. It also has made me find a new and devote appreciation for take out.
After my burnt breakfast I asked my father for money so that I could go and get me an outfit for my date with Roberto. Once I got he money from him, which was like pulling teeth from a hungry tiger, I was out the door and on my way to Hinata's house.
Once Hinata and I have gotten together and too the mall the fun had begun. I was looking for something different. I wanted to look sexy but not like hot slut. I really didn't want to go on my first date wearing my usual clothes.
Hinata and I spent day going from store to store trying to find my outfit but failing miserably. We ended up laughing at most of the clothes and busting into fits of giggles after we tried them on. By the end of the day I had yet to find what I was looking for.
" So what do you want to look like?"
" No but I know I don't want to look cheap. I want to look good without looking hard up and easy."
"Hard up." Hinata said behind a giggle.
Laughing with her I spotted something that would be perfect. Dragging Hinata behind me and into the Cheap Andy's I found my outfit.
As Hinata and I rode the bus back home I realized something. I had spent the day looking for an outfit and talking about it to no end, that I didn't notice a key element in all of it.
"I don't know when it is!"
"Don't know what, what is?"
"The date! I totally forgot to ask when it is. God this has totally got to be a new record for me." I said smacking my forehead.
" Ooh relax Ran just call him."
" And say what?"
" Just tell him you wanted to make sure about the time or something."
"Real smooth Hinata, real smooth no wonder you're still single."
"Cheap shot and besides he's just waiting for the right time."
I didn't want to hurt my best friends feeling by telling her; that if Batsu had not asked her yet, he wasn't anytime soon. So naturally I smiled and told her she still had a chance. We still had two more years of high school left.
That evening I called Natsu to tell her the news. She was more than surprised to find out that I had a date with her friend. Thankfully she gave me his number. Once off the phone with Natsu I called Roberto. " Hello may I speak to Roberto?"
" Who's this?" a little voice said on the other end.
" I'm a friend."
" A girl friend?"
" No. is Roberto home?"
"What do you want with my boyfriend?"
Starring at the phone I thought I had dialed the wrong number, so I hung up. Dialing the number again I asked for Roberto.
{1}"Hola, quien es?" I heard a little boy say on the other end.
"Hello?" I questioned thinking I had dialed the wrong number yet again or Natsu gave me the wrong number.
{2}" Como te puedo ayudar?"
" Sorry I think I have the wrong number." I said hanging up the phone.
Frustrated I dialed what hoped to be Roberto's number one more time.
{3}"Ni hao, zhe shi shei?" A child's voice said in Chinese. It seemed to sound like the other child I had spoken too but slightly different. I couldn't really tell being that this one spoke Chinese. Luckily I did know a bit of Chinese.
{4}"Ni hao, wo ke yi he Roberto Miura shuo hua ma?" I answered in the best Chinese I knew.
" Quick, how you say sorry you got the wrong number in Chinese?" I heard the little voice whisper.
" What are you two doing?" I hear a woman ask.
" Nothing mother." I heard the little boys' voice and a matching pair lie in unison.
The female voice that must have been the mother must have grabbed the phone and began scolding, what I found out to be two boys.
" Hello who is this?" the mother asked a moment later.
" Hello, my name is Ran Hibiki and I was wondering is this the Miura residence?"
" Yes. How can I help you and please forgive my boys, they like to play games with the phone."
" S'ok I'm just glad I got the right number. Is Roberto home?"
" Hold just a moment please." She said in a lovely mothering tone.
Biting the side of my lips I waited. I could hear the sounds of the mother reprimanding her boys about how they need to act their ages. A moment later Roberto was on the phone. I was slightly nervous to talk to him. I didn't want him to think I was desperate by calling but I really needed to know.
" Hi Ran." Roberto said in a soft tone when he got on the phone.
" Umm.Hi Roberto, sorry to be calling you."
" It's ok I was going to ask Natsu for you number anyway."
"You were?"
" Yeah, see I totally forgot to ask you when you'd like to go out on our date."
I was so glad that no one could see my face at that moment. The smile I had for not having to ask him was incredible. "Oh really?" Trying to sound like it was something I hadn't thought of.
" How does about Friday around seven sound to you?"
" Fine, that'll be just fine."
Ok then bye then." I said hanging up the phone quickly, only to call right back. I forgot to ask where. Once I had given him my address I flopped back on my bed, smiling like a nut. I was going to have my first date and that absolutely felt great.
The days of the week passed slowly as I waited for Friday to come around. Hinata made fun of me while she helped me with what I should do on my date. In school, Batsu found out about my date and had loads to say about it. Basically he made fun of me and would joke that I would forget and stand him up. It didn't help that every night that week I had a weird dream about my date.
It all began with Roberto knocking on my door and me coming down to meet him. I had over slept and rushed to get dressed. When I open the door he is just starring at me like something's wrong. In the dream he tells me, " Ran.I think you umm...you forgot something." I look around and go, " Oh yeah I forgot my lipstick." I then run inside and get my lipstick, come back outside and say I'm ready to go. Roberto in my dream was still just standing there and he was blushing hard. I loved at Roberto like there was something wrong with him and waited a moment to see if he would say something. I could see his face turn colors until it was a bright shade of red and a thin stream on blood began seeping from his nose. " You okay Roberto?" I had asked him. He said nothing but turned his head away. I didn't even notice in the dream that in my rush to get ready, that I had totally forgotten to put on a shirt. There I stood in at my front door completely topless. I didn't even have a bra on. Taking his silence as nothing more than him being stunned about how cute I looked, I then grabbed his arm and began dragging him down my driveway. As we went down the driveway he mentioned again that I had forgotten something. Again I told him I had not forgotten anything and was ready to go. The dream ended with me asking him, " Is it just me or is it a bit breezy?"
I awoke from that dream feeling rather self-conscious. That was the just one of the many dreams. The last one I had, I didn't have any pants on and once I was completely naked. Everyday after the dream I kept checking to see if I was fully dressed. I told Hinata and Iincyo at lunch about my dream and we all agreed that I needed to stop stressing about what I was going to wear or I was going to do something stupid like that for real.
"You were topless?" Hinata gasped.
" That is so embarrassing." Iincyo added.
" I know."
" You need to relax about this date thing Ran." Iincyo said nodding her head.
" Yeah, or you liable to really do that." Hinata added.
" I'd die! I'd crawl under a pretty rock and just die!" I said over exaggerating.
"You want us to come over and make sure everything goes well?" Hinata asked.
" No I think I can do it. I just need to relax and pray my father is no where near the house. I really don't want him around. I can make a bad enough impression all by myself. All I need now is for him pretending to be a real dad and scare Roberto away."
" You're dad is not that bad Ran." Hinata added as she and Iincyo laughed at how I spoke of my dad.
Now don't get me wrong I love my father but he's not like other fathers. He doesn't do the whole go to work five days a week and come home to watch television. No, my father is forever parading around the world entering these stupid fight completions and what not. Sometimes coming home looking like a Mac truck had hit him ran him over a few times and then dance on him and when he is home he does this whole homemaker thing. He tries to be both parents; since my mother passed on many years ago; for me when he's home. It's down right scary but I love him for trying.
My father and I have a very open relationship. I don't have to hide much from him and he trusts me a great deal. All in all I still don't want him home when Roberto shows up. Since I don't date often; okay not really ever; and he is going to want to do the whole I shall inflict fear into the boy and tell him I will kill him if he touches my daughter thing. As I said before I can embarrass myself enough for the both of us.
Friday afternoon I rushed home and began getting ready. My father wasn't home, thank god. I had a few hours before Roberto would show up, so I had time to mess around with the makeup I had. I have an entire draw full of different kinds of blush, mascara, lipsticks, nail polishes and other assortments of makeup that I never use. I always plan to but never find the time in the morning to put it on.
By six-thirty I had tried several different looks and decided on just a little lipstick and eyeliner. I put on my outfit and waited downstairs for him to show up. I called Hinata five times Iincyo four and was about to call Natsu when my doorbell rang. Me nervous.not one bit. Yes that was a lie but I will tell myself that until I believe it.
Opening the door I saw Roberto dressed in a simple short sleeved white shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans and that stupid visor. I smiled as we said our hellos and he commented on my choice of clothing.
" You look really nice." Roberto stated. I knew even if I couldn't exactly see his eyes that he was looking me over.
" Thanks." I smiled as I thought about what a good choice I made in my black Capri's and dark green mid drift. I was showing just a bit of skin, which screamed cute and I let my hair down for a change. I was in my opinion damned cute.
Roberto took me to a really nice place. It was a little outside restaurant. It was a nice night and everything seemed to be going well. I caught Roberto several times checking me out and it felt good.
" Roberto can I ask you something?"
" No."
"Okie dokie no questions then." I said in slight shock that he said no to quickly.
" What is it?"
" No it's ok you said no." Waving my head as if it was nothing important.
" I was just playing, come on tell me."
" No." I said in the same manner he did yet I couldn't pull it off with a straight face. " Ok that didn't work out like it was suppose to be." I giggled as Roberto started laughing at me. " Oh stop laughing." I said sticking out my tongue at him.
" You shouldn't stick that out unless you plan on using it."
"You can dream."
" Ahh. just kill a guys dreams.tease."
" Pervert."
" You know you like it."
I couldn't help but start laughing all over again. " You got some issues you know that right. Issue you need to resolve within yourself." I added between giggles.
" Yes and I'm quite fond of them, aren't you?"
" Yeah." I agreed.
" So what's your question or shall we continue on about the many things your tongue is useful for?"
" You are such a pervert man."
" No I'm not."
" Prove it."
" If I was a pervert I would have been looking down your shirt and grabbing you butt when we were on the bus. Oh and I would be rubbing on you leg like some horny stray but see I'm not, so ask you question already lady."
" Oh now you want to know, huh?"
" Yes woman."
" Well I don't want to ask you now."
Roberto shrugged his shoulders and went back to looking at his menu for a dessert. He remained silent for a while and only spoke when he was ordering his dessert.
" Aren't you gonna ask me what it was I wanted to ask?" I questioned frustrated that he had stopped playing our game.
" Nope."
" You're no fun. So I'm gonna ask you anyway. When I called you this little boy answered the phone, was that your brother?"
" Which one?"
" There is more than one?"
" Yeah I have twin brothers. So how many times did they get you?" he said with a smile on his face.
"Get me?"
" They pretend to be all sorts of things. I think my mother said something about Chinese this time."
" Oh well I know a bit of Chinese so it wasn't that bad but yeah they got me twice."
" Sorry about that." He apologized.
" No it's okay, it must be cool to have brothers and sisters. I personally don't have any but yours sounds fun."
" Well one day maybe you can come by and meet my family. I warn you they're extremely boring."
" I doubt it but okay, I'd like that." I smiled as I began eating his dessert that had recently arrived.
My first date followed with a nice walk. Roberto Held my hand and was quite the gentleman to me. We talked a lot about our families and our friends. He entertained me with the how he was convince that his little brothers were rejected alien babies, raised by monkeys and adopted by his mother because as he put it, " She has a soft spot for fuzzy monkeys".
The evening ended with Roberto and I standing on my front porch. Roberto told me that he had a nice time with me and I did the same. It was a lovely moment for me.
" You know what would make it even better?"
" What?"
" If you'd take off the hat so I could see your eyes." I said flicking the tip of it.
"That's all that'll make it better? And here I was thinking about a goodnight kiss."
" Oh a kiss would be nice but you want a kiss, I want to see your eyes. Kissing the eyeless man is not how I envisioned my first kiss."
Roberto gave a small chuckle and to me what seemed entirely too slow, removed his ever present sun visor. Reaching out I moved the hair from his face. Creamy hazelnut colored eyes is what awaited me. They were the kind of eyes you see on small puppies, small but fun of color and life. It was a shame that they always stayed covered by that funky blue visor.
" They're beautiful. You shouldn't keep them cover up. "
" I'm glad you approve."
" It's not like your ugly, ugly people are the only people who should cover up like that." I stated, taking his hat from him and wrapping my arms around his neck. " Now about that kiss." I said in a low yet sexy tone. Sexy being the major role I was going for.
Pressing my lips against his, I closed my eyes. His lips were dry but soft.
I was nervous and a bit worried about it. Being that I've never kissed a boy, What if I was a bad kisser?
My over imagination was hard at work, giving me all sorts of obscene scenarios of what could happen. None of them was being in my best favor.
Breaking the kiss, I looked up at Roberto. He said nothing and there was a bit of extended silence.
' I knew it! I'm a bad kisser! He must be so disappointed. He's got nothing to say.' I thought as little beads of water welled up in the corner of my eyes.
"Ran." Roberto began.
" I gotta go! " I said quickly turning and going for the door.
" What's wrong?" he asked.
" Nothing." I lied as I fumbled with my bag looking for my keys. " Stupid Bag!" I shouted when my bag slipped from my hand onto the floor.
Roberto immediately came to help me gather the contents of my purse, which were now scattered on the ground.
" Ran what's wrong? Did I do something?" he questioned.
" No.where are my keys!"
" Roberto grabbed my shaking hands. " Ran relax and tell me what's wrong."
" I said nothing okay." I lied again trying to yank my hands from his grasp.
" Then why are you crying." He asked as my face betrayed my words.
" I am not crying. I just want go home."
" You are home. Look Ran I don't know what's going on with you and I gather you don't want to talk about it. But I don't like to see you upset much less crying. If I did something I'm sorry." He said letting go of my hands and lifting my face to meet his.
He looked so concerned it was killing me. Ever have someone give a look like you're breaking their heart.me neither until that moment. It was the very same moment I realized that I didn't like it either.
Sighing in my defeat, " You didn't do nothing, it's.it's."
" It's what?"
"It'sjustthatIknowI'mabadkisserandthatsucksbecauseit'smyfirstkissandthesesho uldn'tsuckandyou'realldisappointednowandstuffandthinkthatwasawasteoftimeandn evergonnawannaseemeagainandthatsucksbigtime'cuzIreallylikeyouandhadagreattim eandIscreweditallupcuzIkisslikeadogandit'snotfair. It's so not fair man!" I whined all in the one shaky breath it too me to say all of that.
Roberto's eyes widened a bit, tiled his head to the side and looked completely confused.
" SEE!" I whined throwing my hands in the air carelessly. Tears again welled up. My first date that was going well turned out ruined because of my inadequacy to kiss. There was no chance of him ever wanting to go out with me again. What guy wants to go out with a girl who can't kiss? I'll tell you no one. I might as well find that pretty rock and get a home sweet home sign. Stamp a sign on my forehead that says " defective". Tomorrow every one I know and loads I don't will know me as, " The girl who kisses like a dog".
It didn't make it any better when Roberto finally decided to make a sound. He laughed at me.
" Roberto Miura you so suck!" I shouted.
" Wait, wait. I'm not laughing at you."
" Yeah right okay sure whatever!"
" I'm not."
" Then what's so goddamned funny, huh?" You could say I was slightly pissed off.
" That I understood all of that."
" Huh?" I said raising an eyebrow.
" Everything you just said in the two seconds it too you to say it. I actuality understood every word you said."
" Oh.so now it's funny?"
" No, but I can't do anything about it unless you do two things. One calm down and two clam down." he said taking a step closer. He was just inches away from me. " Ran honey, I'm not disappointed in you and you're not a bad kisser. Where'd you get that idea from anyway."
"Well. you were so quiet, so I thought."
" I was quiet because I didn't want to ruin the moment."
" So I didn't suck?" I asked meekly.
" No you didn't suck.here let me prove it too you." he said.
" How you.ohhh" was all I got to say before he softly kissed me.
This kiss lasted longer and I wasn't as nervous as I'd been before. His hand cupped my face while his other snaked around my bare waist
Slowly our lips parted, looking up I could see he wore a slight triumphant smirk.
" Better?" I asked shyly.
" You know I think we should try that again.just to make sure." He smirked.
After my fifth try again, I assured him I had gotten the hang of it. Quickly picking up my keys, which laid forgotten on the second step of my porch. I bid him a goodnight and waved goodbye. I dared not try and hug him for I knew I'd end up locking lips with him again. Not that I didn't enjoy it, it was rather nice but five times was enough for a first date. Don't want to seem easy so soon. From behind my brown living room window curtains I watched him turn and leave.
Running upstairs, I immediately called Hinata. Telling all the details of my evening minus the part of me spazzing out. Once I finished with Hinata, I was still simply ecstatic. So I did what any red blooded girl would do. I hopped on my computer and wrote it all down in my dairy. I'm not too good with dairy's you actually write in; I frequently misplace them. With this it's always where I need it, I never lose it and my dad is computer retarded so he can never read it.
The next few days for me were spent on and overdose of joy. Frequently I would burst into song for no reason. My father would find me dancing in front of the mirror with an imaginary partner and would give me a confused look. Dad would walk away mumbling something about me and sugar.
It got even better when two days after my date; there was a message on the machine form Roberto asking me out again. I saved the answering machine tape.neurotic.me.just a bit.
When I called him back that night, we stayed on the phone for hours. Well it was more like five hours and forty-seven minutes; I counted. The next night he called me and the night after that I called him. Every night except for Thursday we spoke. Thursday he had late night practices.
By the time of our next date, I was more relaxed about it. There was like no real pressure to make a good impression this time around. Roberto had already witnessed a freak out, a spazz out, a bot with tears and self-doubt in person. I had already cursed, lost stuff, found it, fallen off the bed and done an assortment of other things on the phone as well.
Yet I wasn't the only one doing stupid stuff while on the phone. I've heard him argue with Erton and Nelson, chased them through the house, busted his behind, and been scold by his mother for having a messy room. I've listened to him eat and attempted to hold a conversation and once I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of hearing him scream like a girl. Apparently Nelson thought it would be funny to put Erton put tarantula in his bed. I did however feel sorry for the twins when I heard his chase them down and string them up, upside down in the closet.
This time around I wore a lovely dress Hinata, Iincyo and I picked out. It was a cute little misty gray sleeveless number. Cut about three inches above the knee with little white embroidered butterflies on the left bottom corner. Voting against leaving my hair loose because it was rather hot. I pinned it up in a nice twist with accented my new sliver silver string butterfly earrings.
I meet Roberto outside instead of at my house. My father was home and in a particularly foul mood. I can't quite say why but from what I could catch between his grunts and mumbles. He'd won the completion he had entered but was called by some reporter a copy or clone of someone. Personally I didn't care, I was just happy he came home with all his teeth this time. I truly hate having to drag my father to get his teeth put back in. You'd think a man of my fathers' size and caliber wouldn't be such a wuss when it came to going to the dentist. I wonder about him sometimes.
Sitting the park I talked to an old lady feeding the birds while I waited. By the time Roberto arrived wearing the nicest black shirt ever; that statement had nothing to do with the fact that it fit snug enough for me to see his well defined chest and ever so sexy abs from where I sat; I had been on my third old lady. For some reason or another once we began talking, they left shortly after.
I had made it a point not to be late. However I can never pull anything that has to do with time and me. Instead of being late as I usually am, I ended up being early.two hours early. At least I wasn't late and that's all that counts.
" So what do you want to do tonight?" he asked me after he gave me a small peck on the cheek and a squeeze, then commenting on how cute I looked.
"Duuno.movies?"
" Ok." he agreed.
As we stood in line for the movies Roberto said I could pick what we were going to see. Then he stated that he didn't want to see that after we already had the tickets. I doubt he knows I heard him. I thought the movie was going to be exciting. I had heard it was action packed and all that good stuff they tell you so you can spend your money but nothing prepared me for what happened.
{5} After we got out snacks, which consisted of popcorn and a soda for him and about six dollars worth of candy for me, we found our seats. As we waited for the movie to begin I started looking around to see who else had come to see the same picture. That's when I spotted this mass of yellow hair. It was the boy I'd meet a while ago from Gedo High School. He was sitting next to some red headed girl I didn't recognize.
They didn't look like there were together because they both looked extremely annoyed.
"Hey, Roberto isn't that Edge back there?" I asked Roberto tapping him on the shoulder.
Turing and taking a good look he says, "Yep, that would be him.oh well lets try to enjoy the movie anyway okay."
Both of us broke into a fit of laughter after that. " I gather you don't like him much?"
" Eh.you could say that. I mean I'm not gonna go out my way to say hello or nothing."
" Oh well." I said shrugging my shoulders and began work on my huge bag of sweets.
" You're gonna make yourself sick." Robert informed me looking at the mass concoction of sugar and more sugar I had.
" Nope." I said popping several yellow M&M's in my mouth. Yes, they were all yellow. I painstakingly made sure of that. " Sugar is you're friend." I added slipping one past his tightly closed lips when I heard the distinct sounds of people arguing.
Being as nosey as they come, I turned to see who was making all the noise. Not to my surprise, it was Edge. From what I could tell he was telling some guy with bright red hair and a hideous yellow outfit on, to go fuck him self. There was also some other boy there with long shabby looking brown hair and an equally ugly outfit standing here with the red headed boy.
Turning and kneeling in my seat I watched the events unfold. First it started out slowly. Basically Edge and the red headed boy were throwing insults at each other. It didn't take too long for those words to turn into fist. All the while the girl that was siting next to Edge sat there looking as if didn't care about what was going on.
" What the hell is going on?" Roberto asked as he too turned to see. Telling Robbie that this would make a great story, I grabbed my camera out of my bag. He made a comment about that the reason my bag was so big. Then told me to sit back down and get my nose out of business that didn't involve me.
Totally ignoring him I jumped out of my seat and began going to the back of the theater to get some great pictures of the lovely fistfight that was occurring. This was gonna be a great story and I was gonna be the one to tell everyone about it.
* Local teens from Gedo high School start fight in local movie theater. * I thought of my articles' headline as I snapped my first shots.
Roberto wasn't far behind me. Pulling me out of the way of a stray fist in the process. " Woman, you can't be here!" he stated.
" But this is great. Look at them. OOOOOO.that had to hurt!"
" You're gonna get yourself.Damn!" he exclaimed totally losing what he was going to say as he saw a wonderful yet scary display of violence.
Edge had done something I had never seen in my entire life. It was this move that involved a lot of blood and a knife. Roberto and I couldn't even turn away if we wanted too.
Roberto blindly felt for my hand and pulled me back into one of the now emptied isles. Once the fight had started everyone else had run out of the theater. Holding me tightly as the theater light began to dim.
I was surprised that none of the other patrons that had run out when this began had not, by now alerted security. Thinking everything was over when Edge beat this poor boy to a nice red pulp, I was able to blink again. Which meant I could take more pictures. Before and after shots were always good.
" Ran I don't think this is a good time to be taking pictures." Roberto whispered as he moved the camera from my face and inched us back a bit more.
" Why, this is some good stuff?"
" That's why." He said pointing out the moving shadows around us.
" What the fuck is that?!" I asked aloud.
" Nothing good." He replied as he again moved us farther into the row, away from the action.
He was right. It wasn't anything good. In fact it was terrible, I can admit I didn't like the boy from Gedo much but I never would have wanted this to happen to him. Twenty or so guys came out from nowhere. All of them ganged up on this one boy. Shaking my head as I heard him cry out to the girl I didn't know to stay out of it.
Hugging myself in horror as I watched this thin blonde boy get the living snot beat out of him. Even as his hair stood about two feet high, you couldn't see in underneath the mass of his attackers.
" Oh my god!" I whispered as I heard him cry out in pain. " Roberto we've gotta."
" No." Roberto sternly cut me off.
" But."
" NO."
"Why?"
" NO!" he stated tightening his grip on me.
It was hard to see everything after the house lights went off and the movies started. Yet little by little the mass of bodies dwindled and for a moment I could see the girl fighting along side him.
When I saw her fight I finally placed her face with a person I knew. She was Zaki Himezaki from the all girls' school Seijin and if I remember correctly leader of an all girl gang. What she was doing here with Edge was beyond me but I was happy she helped him, even if he was screaming at her.I think.
Everything was over when both Edge and Zaki ran out of the theater. Not hat I blame them, I'd have run a long time ago. The guys that were still conscious ran after them leaving only Roberto and I in the empty theater.
" That was real fucked up Robby."
" It wasn't our business."
" I don't care that was still fucked up. We could have helped. It was like twenty to one. " I said angrily." We should have, we could've helped."
"Look honey, my only concern right now is you and as long as you're safe I don't care about anything else."
" But still man." I said shaking my head.
" But nothing, Ran look these people fight like this al the time. I was not gonna let you get into it and get hurt."
" I can take care of myself."
" Yeah that's all well and good but you're out with me and I am not gonna let you get hurt. If not helping him was wrong, oh well. His well being is none of my concern.yours is. Now you can either stand here and argue with me or we can get the hell out of here before they think we did it."
Silently agreeing I looked over to where the bodies of the fallen laid and quickly snapped a shot. Roberto gave me the look of " I can't believe your doing that." and in returned I gave him an the innocent look that screamed "what?"
When we got outside of the theater it was unbelievable. There were cops and reporters everywhere. The dark night sky was live with the colors of lights flashing in every color. Roberto made comments about how he knew he shouldn't have spent his money on the movie while I, seeing my chance to be seen for my reporting skills. I ran over to one of the many reporters, bumped her out of the way and gave it my all.
I knew there was always the possibility that someone will notice me. I heard my idol Satchiko Shihome had her big break just like this.ok not like this but close enough for me.
Later that evening Roberto and I spoke about what had happened. Neither of us knowing really what had happened and basically made up scenarios of what caused the scene. Roberto was more concerned with the fact that our date had been ruined.
" Are you nuts? That rocked!"
" No it didn't."
"Robbie we got to see a real action packed picture, so what if it wasn't exactly on the screen and I got to be on TV and it was great!"
" You're a strange girl." He added as I continued on.
" And did you see all those guys. It's a miracle that Edge survived and when Zaki jumped in from what I could see was WOW! She was kicking butt too. Did you say something?" I asked.
" Nope nothing at all." He replied.
" Did you see the move he did.it was like hah! He was like ha and ha and take that! All that was missing was for him to go "talk to my little friend" like in the movies!" I exclaimed and acted it out the best I could in the street.
" Calm down before you hurt yourself." Roberto laughed as I attempted to throw a kick.
Forgetting I was wearing a skirt, I kicked and tipped over. Thankfully Roberto was there to catch me before I hit the ground. Laughing at myself I brushed a few stray strands of hair out from my eyes, pulled down my skirt and straighten myself up.
" Well you get the point." I stated trying to regain my dignity. "Robbie can I ask you something?" I questioned as we sat at the same bench I occupied earlier.
" Yeah go ahead."
Adjusting his visor, that I had stolen from him earlier I began. " Umm.oh crap!"
"What?"
" I forgot what I was gonna say."
Roberto laughed." Okay, then let me ask you then. Give you some time to get those gears working again." he joked.
" You funny!" I said sarcastically sticking out my tongue.
" Didn't we already talk about you and that tongue?"
" Shut up and ask already." I said as I caught myself almost sticking out my tongue again but instead scowling.
" What would you say if I asked you out again?" he began.
" I'd say yes."
" Okay, what would you say to me kissing you now?"
" I'd say yes."
" In public?"
" Lets give the birds something to talk about." I smirked.
" What about getting my hat back?"
" I'll think about it." I replied giving him an evil grin.
Roberto raised and eyebrow and gave me a devilish look. I should have known to run then. I should have known to move quickly. Yet being the almighty slow one that is I, I sat there.
I ended up on the grass laying on my back begging for mercy. Unlike most guys Roberto didn't get upset that I wouldn't give him back what was his. No that would be too simple. The guy I liked had to be of the playful type. The guy I liked had to be the one to chase me around a park bench and down a grassy hill, tickling me.
It began with him poking me while asking for his hat as I swatted his hand away trying to hold in a giggle. Then me jumping up as he first began to tickle me and now demanded his hat back or I was to suffer the consequences. Which of course I refused to do and laughed at him. After circling the bench quite a few times, he decided that the best way to get me was to jump over the bench.
Squealing in surprise I turned tail and ran. Did I mention that I was wearing a short dress? Who ever made the dress did not have running in mind. Especially not down a grassy hill in the dark.
Needless to say I didn't get far before getting caught in the dress, tripping over my own feet, unceremoniously squeaking, roll for bit and stopped by Roberto. Who might I add sat his big butt on me and tickled me until there were tears rolling down my cheeks. I was begging for mercy and close to having an accident.
Finally letting up Roberto stopped his attack and I could catch my breath. Sliding his hat off my head he looked at me with a smile that made him look about a total of five years old, " I win!"
" Off. you heavy!" I said giving my best pout.
Sliding to the side Roberto stretched out beside me. Sitting up I waited a moment for him to get nice and comfortable before pouncing on him. Straddling him and pinning his hands down I smiled. " I win! Now you shall suffer my wraith!"
" Slowly I leaned in until our lips almost touched. His breath was heavy and deep. ' Either he is way out of breath, which I highly doubt. Or he likes being pinned down. Undercover FREAK!' My mind screamed as I slid my tongue out and touched his lips. Wetting his lips with my tongue I could feel him move his tongue to meet mine. Our tongues touched, as did our lips. Deeply we kissed on the park lawn as our tongues danced a slow balled.
I could feel Roberto shift under me several times. Breaking our kiss I placed a soft kiss on his closed lips. Letting go of his hands I brushed a few single blades of grass from his hair and removed his visor. I could see his eyes clearly.
" Ran you know I really like you." he whispered to me.
Once again leaning down against him. A gentle kiss he placed on my lips.
" I should hope so." I softly replied. Grasping his bottom lips within mine I lightly sucking on it. Which was another of Hinata's ideas might I add. As I lightly sucked on his lip, Roberto let out a low moan and again shifted beneath me. His hands found their way to my waist, up my back and came to rest in my hair.
Pulling away slightly I kissed his now swollen lips. I kissed Roberto once more. Again letting him explore the insides of my mouth. Roberto arched his back slightly and I could feel him breath in deeply. The feeling of him moving under made was unlike anything that I had even felt, resulting in me let out a soft gasp and pressing into him. A little longer we lasted together like that until I was abruptly picked up and placed gently on the grass. Roberto quickly sat up and stated that it was time to go.
" Robbie what happened? Did I do something wrong?" I asked quite confused.
" Nope." Was all he said in response to my question.
" So I was doing good then?"
" Yep."
" Then what's the problem?" I asked. I wasn't used to one-word answers.
" That is the problem."
" Huh? Okay you do know that made like no sense what so ever right.but okay.I guess." I said still confused and feeling quite odd.
Things didn't improve as we walked to my bus. Roberto rode me all the way home, unusually silent. Not that he's real talkative to begin with but usually he'd be giving me silly looks or making faces at me; neither which happened. He quietly sat next to me on the bus holding my hand. Other than that I was left to talk to myself. Trying to start a conversation became rather pointless. Having a conversation with someone who is avoiding looking at you and uses one word answers and grunts is not a having a conversation at all.
By the time we reached my stop, I'd had as much of silence as humanly possible.
" What bug crawled up your ass and died?"
" Excuse me?" he asked looking surprised.
" You heard me, what bug crawled up your leg, in you ass and dropped dead? One minute we're playing around and doing the whole guy girl thing. Next thing your not talking to me and doing the that distant shit. Well let me tell you something Robby, I don't like it. So tell me what the problem is or like.tell Me." okay that last part didn't come out quite as I planned but I think I got my point across.
" It's nothing." He said finally saying more than one word.
" That's not gonna work for you, you're not me. Nothing is never nothing, nothing is something you don't want to tell me."
" It's nothing Ran."
" Bull shit!"
" Look Ran, it's nothing okay and I don't want to talk about it."
" So it is something."
" You don't know when to quit do you?"
" Nope I don't. So out with it."
" Yes okay." he sighed in defeat. " It's something and I still don't want to talk about it. So please just drop it."
" Why? If we gonna start a relationship, you gonna have to open up."
" You wanna start a relationship?"
" Oh fuck me man!" I cursed.
"Umm."
" Oh tell me I didn't just say that out loud. Please tell me I did not just say that out loud and you heard that. Oh I'm so stupid!"
" I'm gonna take a guess on this and say yes."
" Damn it Ran! Didn't we say we were gonna think shit out before we say it. " I scolded myself. " This is why no one ever tells us shit." I continued. " Now ya gone and told him you were thinking about relations hips. Watch now you done scared him away. Away to go Ran!"
Waving his hand in my face, " hey Ran, I'm still here. Once you finish arguing with yourself I'll be right over here," he said as he leaned up against the bus stop and watched my mini-bout with sanity.
Stopping as his words reached the reaction time of my brain, in a very un- girlie like fashion I smacked myself on the forehead. "Sorry 'bout that. The counsel held an emergency meeting about my mouth."
" I can see. Did they reach a verdict yet?"
" Yeah." I said running my hand through the front of my hair to distract myself from my embarrassment.
" And what was the verdict?"
" We all agreed, I need to work on thinking before I speak and they also added that I'm a total ass."
"Tell the counsel they're wrong. You're far from an ass but if the subject of your ass comes up, tell them to put me in the vote that you have a nice one."
" You are stupid!" I laughed.
" And as I was told once.and you're point is?"
"Ha-ha now stop changing the subject. What was wrong with you before?"
" Nothing Ran, I'm sorry if I bothered you and all. There were just something I had to think about that I will not talk to you about."
" And why the hell not?"
" Because you're a girl."
" Yeah so, what's it like secret boy stuff?"
" Exactly. Now could we please drop the subject."
" Fine, keep you stinky boy secrets." I pouted. " I didn't want to know anyway."
Dispute my annoyance with Roberto the evening ended on a good note. I waited around much to his dismay until his bus arrived and it was safely on its way. Inside my home my father was sitting in the basement doing what he called training. Sticking my head through the open basement door I yelled that I was home.
" Dinner's in the fridge, heat it up!" he responded.
Once I showered up and changed my clothes I went to see what my father was calling dinner tonight. Not at all too surprised when I saw a plate of rice and mixed vegetables awaiting me with a funky orange colored milkshake looking drink I was suppose to wash it all down with. Heating up the food while I poured that concoction down the sink, I looked at the phone and wondered if Roberto had gotten home yet. I told him to call me when he got in.
After I made sure Dad was washed and in bed; much to his resistance; at a decent hour. I went and relived my day in my diary. The sound of my phone ringing brought me out of my memories. Hopping up from where I sat at me desk, I went for the phone. As I threw clothes, books, several pieces of things I wasn't too sure what they belong too around and reminding myself that I should really get to cleaning my room, I searched for the phone. It shouldn't have too hard to spot. It was big, pink and shaped like Hello Kitty.
"Hello!" I said out of breath.
" Hello, Ran." I heard Roberto ask low enough that I almost couldn't hear him.
"Robbie! You got home okay?"
" Yeah, sorry it's so late. My parents made me do some chores."
" S'okie dokie. I put dad to sleep already." I said dumping everything off my bed and got comfortable. I spoke to Roberto until we were both whispering and making no sense. Wishing him a good night I hung up the phone and relished in the fact that I had a cute guy wanting to talk to me for hours on end.
The weeks that pasted after that were much the same. I wrote an article about what had happened that night at the Movie Theater for the school paper. The pictures I took turned out to be great, only they were a bit too violent for the paper and were left out.
Hinata and I were constantly found talking quietly under the tree at lunchtime. Whenever Batsu and Kyosuke would show up, we would get silent and we were told it was kind of eerie the way we were acting.
" What are you two talking about that's so secret." Batsu would ask.
" None of you business." I would tell him, as Hinata would shake her head in agreement.
" Didn't you know Batsu, Ran's got her self a boyfriend." Kyosuke added.
"So how much you paying him?" Batsu asked.
"Ran is not you Batsu she doesn't have to pay for a date. " Iincyo came to my defense.
This would send Kyosuke in to a fit of laughter along with Hinata and me. Batsu on the other hand didn't find it as funny as we did. Batsu would screw up his face, cross his arms and proclaim that he didn't have to pay to get a date.
From then on Batsu said that he wouldn't believe that I had a guy until he saw him with his own eyes. The girls and me would just ignore him and go about our girl talk. The weekend that followed we went to visit Natsu.
Natsu cooked for us and she informed me that she rather enjoyed seeing my face on the television and had taped it so she could use at as blackmail in my old age.
" So what's up with you and Roberto?" Natsu asked.
" What you mean?"
" You know what I mean don't play stupid."
" Nothing." I said unable to hide my smile.
" Ooooo look Natsu you got Ran blushing!" Hinata exclaimed.
"I am not!" I protested.
"So now what, you and Roberto a couple or what?"
" No.not yet at least. "
Hinata and Natsu laughed.
" So here's the big question.How's he kiss?"
"Natsu!"
" What?" he asked innocently. " Like you haven't kissed him yet.you have kissed him right?"
" Yeah she's kissed him and from what she tells me, it's Niiiceeeee!" Hinata said exaggerating the words nice and making kissy noises.
" I did not say that. I said it was okay."
" Lair!" Hinata said throwing one of Natsu's couch pillows at me.
" Oh then he's bad.what a shame." Natsu said as she shook her hand in disbelief. "You'd think since he's part Brazilian he'd be good at it."
" Yeah I read that those tropical men are suppose to be hot!"
" What have you been reading Hinata?" I asked as I laughed at her.
" Books."
" Hina's been sneaking into the adult section of the bookstore and looking at the sex books." Natsu added.
" I'm not the only one, Ran came with me too." Hinata stated in her defense.
Natsu gave me a cheeky grin and laughed at us both, calling us both perverts. Then she shocked us both when she wondered aloud why she wasn't invited along.
That's how I ended up standing outside of Barnes and Nobles with Natsu and Hinata. All of us had decided that since we'd left Natsu out of our last adventure, we would all go this time.
Dressed in jeans and a tee shirt, I tried to look as old as possible, a woman of the world or at least a university student.
Walking into the bookstore we had a plan. We would split up and meet in the back. Hinata made her way through the romance section; Natsu went to the cooking section, while I roamed around aimlessly.
Meeting in the back of the store, we all looked around to see if anyone was around.
" So which one?" Natsu asked looking at the rather large selection of sex books.
'The Art of Sensuality Sex, Love and Limerence-The Experience of Being in Love, Sexual Honesty: By Women for Women, The New Joy of Sex, How to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques That Will Blow His Mind, Guide to Getting It on!: The Universe's Coolest and Most Informative Book about Sex for Adults of All Ages, The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex, Hot Sex: How To Do It, The Best Sex You'll Ever Have!: 101 Exciting Positions for Ecstatic Sexual Fulfillment.' The titles went on and on.
" Pleasure for you and you.I don't get it. Shouldn't it be for you and him?" Hinata questioned picking up one book.
Natsu leaned over and whispered what it meant to Hinata, who immediately dropped the book whispering, "EWWW! That is so nasty!"
Coving my mouth as I giggled. Picking up a book titled '101 ways to please your man.' Upon opening the book my friends huddled around me as I turned the pages in complete amazement.
" Excuse me ladies." someone said behind us.
Being so completely engrossed with what was on the pages, " oh yeah, go ahead." I said moving out of the way so whoever it was could pass.
Going back to the pages of this book. I pointed out pictures and diagrams that looked amazing and absolutely not possible for the human body. Suddenly the book was no longer in my hands. It was in the hands of a man who from the tag he wore, worked at the store.
"Busted!" I said under my breath.
" Exactly what are you little girls doing here?" He asked tapping his finger on the book.
" We are not little girls." Natsu said standing up straight and hoping this man would believe her.
"Oh really?" he replied." Then how old are you?"
"Eighteen!" Natsu said proudly as if she was not lying.
Pursing his lips and raising an eyebrow he stretched out his hand." I.D please."
All of us looked at one another with the same look of, 'Oh Crap!' "Well you see." I began trying to come up with a lie that would no result in getting my father called.
" It's like this, we're doing a report on the psychosexual behavior of humans and the influence written material has on the population." I said as I gave the girls the look of get ready to run if this big load of crap that was spewing out of my mouth didn't fly.
" The what?" this store clerk asked not having a clue about what I was saying, not like I did either but that's beside the point.
" As I said before," I sighed as if I was rather annoyed with having to repeat myself. "My classmates and I are researching for a project on the psychosexual behavior of the human mind and the influences this particular brand of literature has on the population and the individual. Now if you wouldn't mind, can you answer a few questions? Do you read this form of literature, and if so, do you find it enjoyable in anyway and why? Oh and may we have your name.Satoshi is it? Mr. Satoshi would you feel comfortable with us documenting your name for reference purposes? "
Mr. Satoshi something or another eagerly gave us his opinions on what he thought psychosexual meant. He might have even been right, I couldn't tell. I'd have to find out what psychosexual meant first but that would have to wait.
Our lovely, helpful yet stupid store clerk then helped pick out some books and assisted us with our purchase of three books, one for each of us.
Once out of the store and safely two blocks away ass of us stopped and busted into giggles. We couldn't believe that the store clerk fell for my line of psychobabble, helped us find good books and even asked for us to tell him how our report turned out.
For the rest of the day the girls and I spent it locked away in Natsu's bedroom looking through our new books.
" OH that is so nasty!" Natsu yelled out as she pointed out a picture of a woman that was performing what was called "oral sex" on a man. " I am never doing that." she added.
" I dunno.I would. It doesn't look that bad." Hinata said while she blushed profusely.
" We know you would. Cause you're a freak!" I added.
"AM NOT!"
" OH Batsu let me suck on your long hard cock! " I joked in a dreamy voice.
"Oh shut up!" Hinata said pelting me with one of Natsu's many plushies.
" I wouldn't say that!" she screamed.
After a while of making fun of the book and pointing out what Hinata would and wouldn't do if Batsu asked her. Going home, it felt as if I was smuggling drugs into a foreign country. Creeping into my own house to stash the book in the bathroom. Right between the tampons and maxi pads. My dad will never find it.
The next day at lunch, while I sat working on my next article about school funded programs. Hinata and Iincyo were involved in a conversation with Kyosuke about something when Batsu showed up.
He had a smug look on his face and a load of food fit for three in his hands. Everything was going normal until Batsu goes," Hey Kyosuke wanna know what I heard yesterday?"
" What?"
" I was talking to Hatsumomo and it seems she was at the bookstore yesterday. You know the one her dad works at and guess what she saw?"
"Umm.lemme guess.books?"
"No stupid, she saw this one and that one there."
" Batsu, it is a bookstore. There's nothing exciting or much less interesting about that. " Kyosuke added taking off his glasses to clean them.
"No, no wait here's the good part. They were in the smut section looking at sex books."
Kyosuke said nothing. I was actually too into my article that I hadn't heard a word Batsu had said. Hinata on the other hand nearly died.
"So Hina, find anything interesting?" Batsu asked with a smirk.
"Batsu.Hinata would never do that, right Hina?" Iincyo said giving Batsu the evil eye. "Hina." She called again looking around for Hinata whom at the moment seemed to be missing. "Hinata!" she called out a bit louder. "Where'd she go?"
" I believe that would be her under the table" Kyosuke pointed out.
Taking no notice of this I didn't see Batsu laughing as Kyosuke told him to stop as he too was holding back laughter. Meantime Iincyo was trying to coax Hinata out from under the table.
I wasn't aware of any of this until I was forcefully yanked under the table. One minute I'm sitting at he table hunched over several pieces of paper. The next I'm under the lunch table rubbing my freshly bruised head, wondering what I was doing under the table in the first place.
Hinata was a wreck. I doubt the poor girl had ever been that embarrassed in her entire life. So was I once I found out what had occurred while I was dead to the world around me.
Thankfully Kyosuke came to our rescue. Telling Batsu that it must have been a bet. He firmly stated that we would never be looking at that of our free will.
" Yeah that's it! We were doing a dare!" I shouted from under the table.
"See, now stop it already." Kyosuke reprimanded Batsu.
"Yeah Batsu, stop harassing us!" I stuck my head out from under the table. " Ya big jerk!"
Even if Batsu did stop picking on us then, every so often for several days after. We could see him giving us like he just knew he was right and we were perverts. Hinata on the other hand had taken to being rather quiet and reserved there after.
The only real joy I had in my life for a while was being able to talk to Roberto at night. As the weeks passed we did get to go out a few more times. They thankfully weren't as eventful as the one before but enjoyable nether the less. I can honestly say the only thing that bothers me about him is when he becomes distant towards me. He usually gets that way after we kiss or make out for long periods of time. It makes me think I'm doing something wrong. I would talk to Hina or Natty about it but I feel kinda stupid. I don't know as much about guys as they do for I've never had a real interest in them before. They were just flat chested girls who piss standing up to me before. Roberto always tells me it's nothing and not to worry about it but I want to know.
**************************************************************************
Roberto
"Sweet dreams sweetie" I whisper into the receiver.
Clicking off the phone I sigh. Another evening spent talking to her. Countless hours pass unnoticed whenever she is involved. Time has no hold when I hear her voice. Her smile grabs hold of time, stilling it for me.
Running my fingers through my hair, I visualize her sweet innocent face with its slight traces of fading baby fat. Light hazy brown eyes filled with such energy and a smile that uplifts the soul, amongst other things.
I've known her for only a few weeks and since the first day I met her in the locker room. I've only thought of her. She is like no girl I have ever meet. She speaks her mind no matter what the consequence. There is nothing that brings her down from her natural high. She's not mousy and shy like most other girls. She has a natural aura of happiness that one can only bask in letting it fill you with the same joyous glow that surrounds her.
Closing my eyes I drop the phone onto the floor and just let my mind fill itself with thoughts of the beautiful girl who plagues my mind at all times. Allowing myself much needed freedom. Countless hours spent hindered as we spoke.
Images of her smile and sweet voice enticing me to do things I dare not while on the phone with her. Things I now envision her doing. Things I want to do with her, to her. If she only knew the things she does to me. I can't quite explain it but she does something to my hormones that shouldn't be legal. If she only knew what control she had over me. With a single touch she can have me in the palm of her hands with out any objections.
As I lay there I can clearly see her. I can remember what she wore, the style of her hair and how she smelled of sweet peach. Her head lay across my chest. I can nearly smell her next to me, a light hint of fresh peaches. It's all around me, engulfing me within her.
Slowly running my finger through her hair, Ran's image becomes solid. Her body flush against mine. Letting out a low sigh I can feel her arms around my neck. Her lips are soft and moist as she softly kisses me. Straddling my hips, my fantasy Ran undresses for me slowly. Exposing her creamy skin inch by inch.
Bringing my hips up I press against her in desperate need of contact. Ever so slowly I can see her breast appear from underneath her small shirt. Reaching out I touch her, massaging them softly. I can hear her moan slightly from my touch.
Inching up I sit. Again I take to massaging her firm breast. Her hand fined their way to my hair and entangles her fingers within.
I then flick my tongue over her nipples before taking one into my mouth. Sucking lightly and alternating with a light nibble. My fantasy Ran whispers my name softly. I love the way she says my name.
Yet she stops me and moves away slowly while never looking away. Her eyes are slightly closed; her cheeks are flushed, as is her skin. I watch her as she raises her shirt above her head and tosses it across the room. Her movements are slow and calculated. Slowly she wiggles out of her pants, which make her breast bounce slightly while the pants I had on became extremely tighter than they needed to be. There she stood only in her panties.
Ran ran her hands up my thighs, pushing me down until she was again on top of me. Taking hold of her mouth I kissed her. My hands worked their way over her newly exposed skin. As we kisses I would squeeze her butt and pull her closer into me. I wanted her badly. Parting her legs with my thighs I made sure that she knew this. Even though the fabric of my pants I could feel her heat.
I needed to be against her, I needed to feel her skin against mine or there was gonna be one hell of a mess in my pants. Eyes closed, for the first time I let go of her and went to open my pants.
Smacking my hands away Ran took over for me. Slowly she undid the button of my pants and even slower unzipped them. She was well aware of my want of her when my member sprang forward to greet her.
Ran was delicate with me. Cupping me with her hand and running her finger along the length. I could only lay and watch as she fondled me to her hearts content. Every time she ran her fingers across or took me within her grasp she sent waves through my body. All I was able to do was call out her name between my teeth as she gently stroked me.
Once she had her fill of touching me she again straddled my hips. Grabbing her by her hips, grinding into her. She was warm and moist coating me. I could hear her tell me she was ready as she picked herself up from me and took control, guiding me into her. I don't quite know when she discarded her panties and I didn't care. Slowly as her heat engulfed me I had to restrain myself from thrusting into her. I could feel myself stretching her inside. It felt like a perfect fit as if she was made just for me.
Once she was certain there was no more room she began to rock. Her hands place firmly on my chest I could feel her nails scrape against my skin. Fondling her breast as she grinded, never once lifting herself up.
Ran picked up the pace of her movements with ease building up a rhythm. It wasn't long before I could feel her nails dig into me as my name slipped from her lips. Hearing my name being called was all I needed to finally reach release.
Opening my eyes I gave a deep mournful sigh. Ran was not there nor was anything real. I was still alone in my bedroom. Everything was just a fantasy as it always was. Ran Hibiki was still across town sleeping soundly in her bed as I fantasized about her. Sitting up I reached for some tissue so that I could clean up my self imposed mess.
Once I was done cleaning up I decided that it was time that I do something towards making it real. I wanted Ran to be mine; hopefully she wanted the same thing.
