Chapter 8
About a month or so later as Java sat at a computer in the main control room she suddenly felt hands glide across her bare shoulders and lips kiss her neck. She immediately know it wasn't Vic, she knew his hands and lips too well for that, and besides, he would never pull a stunt like that in public, there was only one person with the audacity to do that
"Hello Ram" she said
"Hi beautiful" he replied as he moved to half sit, half lean on the table in front of her. She rolled her eyes in annoyance at his greeting.
"Do you have to?" she asked
"Just showing my affections," he told her lightly knowing the entire room was listening to their conversation, just some more discreetly than others.
"They're not wanted" Java told him turning back to work at her computer in the hopes that he might leave.
"What would it take for them to be wanted?" Ram asked half teasing but half serious
"I've told you before" Java said "Show me I'm not a one night stand or a s!ut like Opal and maybe, maybe"
Ram left sighing, he had got the same cryptic answer form her before. He didn't know what she wanted or expected from him but he did know that if he ever did get hold of her body or mind he would not let go quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over the other side of the command centre, unseen by the two powerful members of the tribe a girl watched them with eyes filled with pain. She hadn't been able to hear what they said but she had seen Ram kiss Java's neck, that itself was enough.
She couldn't believe how stupid and gullible she had been, she should have seen it, realized. She had always though one day Ram would acknowledge the fact that she was the only girl that had ever truly loved him, and she thought that day had finally come, little had she known she was always just the distraction, the girl he could rely on for free sex. How stupid could she have been, he never wanted her, he was always lusting after some other wh0re.
In one moment, one tiny moment her heart shattered into a thousand tiny pieces that dug into her chest making it difficult to breathe. Her hope was finally shattered and left lying around her, she would never have Ram, never, he didn't want her, never really had. And suddenly al her rage and pain focused on one person, she wanted her to feel a fraction of the pain and rage that she felt then.
She knew exactly who the wh0re that Ram wanted was, Java, queen bi!chiness of the Techno's. She had hated her before, but that was nothing compared to what she felt before, she was going to pay, whatever it took she was going to pay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Java turned her head as the egyption looking girl came towards her.
"Hello Java" Opal hissed in a tone dripping with dislike.
"Opal" replied Java non-committedly deciding to ignore Opal's voice and turning back to her computer.
"Having fun" asked Opal in a tone only slightly nicer than before.
"Bags" said Java who was still paying very little attention to the girl.
"You must have [I]such[/I] hard work" Opal said sarcastically, with enough malice to make Java turn and look at her.
"What is your problem?" Java asked. She really couldn't be bothered to deal with one of Opal's moods at the time.
"I don't know, maybe you might know" Opal said snidely folding her arms across her chest.
"Well, whatever problems you dream up in that little deluded mind of yours, don't include me in them, please" Java told her sneering slightly and getting up to leave.
"I haven't finished with you" Opal said catching hold of Java's arm. Spinning Java slapped away Opal's hand and hit her face causing the girl to stagger backwards.
Suddenly everyone in the room was concentrated on the two girls. They were oblivious to the eyes that watched them, their argument had suddenly become a matter of pride and neither was going to back down lightly.
"Bi!ch" Opal hissed at Java her eyes glaring at Java from under the hand which was covering the cheek Java had hit.
"You started it, you take to consequences" Java told her off hand "Now, what is your problem?" she asked again her voice rising and echoing loudly around the silent room.
"My problem is you and your slu!ty ways" Opal hissed at Java her brown eyes still filled with hate.
"[I]My[/I] slu!ty ways!" repeated Java in disbelief
"Oh, I'm sorry, does having it off with my man not count as slu!ty to you?" Opal said mock cheerfully. The onlookers closest to the two girls leaned back slightly in anticipation of Java's reaction to the accusation that was echoing around the room.
Java let out a short cold laugh. Opal stared at her as if she had three heads.
"So this is what this is all about" Java said casually "Well, let me tell you, it's Ram, not me you should be throwing your little temper tantrum at, he's the one coming onto me all the time, I turn him down" she told Opal heartlessly "If you can't keep 'your man', keep him on a leash, but, wait" she said a malicious smirk appearing on her face, unable to resist a final snipe at Opal "Don't you already do that in your little kinky games?"
As she turned contemptusly on her heel Opals mouth dropped and contorted into a hideous form of hate
"Bi!ch" she screamed launching herself at Java in a vicious attack fully intending to hurt her and make her pay for every little thing she ever done to her. Just as the onlookers thought that Opal might actually reach Java and cause some kind of injury Java spun and demonstrated her lightning quick reflexes, catching Opal's hands less than an inch away from her body. With a twist of her wrists Java pushed Opals hands away from her body and then with a vicious kick Java sent Opal sprawling across the floor.
As she skidded along on the tiles the onlookers moved out of her way but non-broke ranks to help her. She lay still on the floor for a minute, long enough for the crowd to begin to look at each other and to begin almost inaudible mutters about her being seriously injured or even dead.
Finally she turned her head away from the floor and everyone saw the blood that was rushing from her nose.
"That was stupid, very stupid," Java hissed at her dangerously before spinning away again flicking her braids. Opal looked as if she were about to say something, a parting remark or jibe but, wisely, she thought better of it.
In the silence that followed Java's departure Opal felt all the eyes in the room on her. Putting her hand under her nose in an effort to control the blood she got up trying to preserve what was left of the shreds of her dignity.
As soon as she was out of the door the silence erupted into silent talking, this story would be around the base in an hour, the Technos queen had shown Opal!
