Chapter 9
Opal had been sat on the bed for at least an hour, she wanted to know where he was, she was getting impatient and very, very angry. As she had sat there everything had gone around in her head, every time she had seen him with someone else, the fight with Java, her tattered pride and her broken heart, all spinning around in her head, festering to become more and more rage filled and all her ahtred and pain was focusing on Ram.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ram had had a pretty bad day, everyone had been whispering about him, he had heard them and seen the looks they gave him. The thing that annoyed him was that he couldn't work out exactly what they were whispering about, usually it was quite obvious but he was determined to find out somehow.
His room was in darkness when he reached it but when he turned the light on he was amazed to see Opal leaning back on his bed and smiling coyly.
"Hello Ram" she purred "Had...fun today?" she asked. Something about the way she said 'fun' put him on his guard, something was wrong, he just wasn't sure what.
"Not really" he replied suspiciously
"Poor Ram" she said pouting slightly in sympathy "Do you want a massage?"
"Yeh" said Ram still with an edge of suspicion in his voice. He walked towards he all his nerves on stand by, he was ready to bolt for the door if necessary or if she made any sudden moves. However when he sat down next to her and she began to massage his shoulders he felt his fears melt away.
"So...spoken to Java today?" Opal whispered into his ear as she massaged him.
"Yeah" he moaned as his head fell forwards so she could access his neck
"Did she say anything interesting?" Opal asked
"Not really" Ram replied the edge of suspicion returning to his voice as he pulled away from Opal and tuned to regard her suspiciously "Why are you interested anyway?" he asked unable to follow her unprovoked line of questioning.
"It looked like you were interested" Opal spat out jealously hatred and bile rising in her voice
"Wha?" said Ram in puzzlement unable to follow the sudden u-turn in the conversation
"Oh, I'm sorry, is kissing someone's neck a casual greeting for you?" Opal yelled standing up anger and pain radiating off her
"Oh..." was all Ram could say suddenly understanding
"Yes 'oh'" screamed Opal "I loved you, I stood up for you, I would have jumped off a cliff for you" Tears were rolling down her cheeks, the tears that had been threatening all day. She sank to her knees sobbing "Why, Why? I would have [I]married[/I] you," she told him in a voice that was little more than a whisper but seemed to tear at his heart.
Ram watched her rocking herself in grief, sobs racking her body, the tears making a path down her face and for the first time in a long time her felt somekind of emotion towards Opal. Suddenly she reminded him of the way he had felt after Star.
He dropped to the floor unsure of what to do with his newfound emotions. Tentitivly he stretched out a hand towards Opals shoulder to comfort her. As he touched her she flinched knocking away his hand like it would burn her
"Get away" she screamed through her tears. The words 'I'm sorry' lodged in Rams throat, words he would have said but was never given a chance, where they lodged he felt a strange lump build in his throat.
She got up as if to escape from him
"I would have married you" she yelled at him through her tears "But you didn't want me, you didn't want me" she sobbed accusingly as she ran out of the room leaving Ram alone on the floor a strange heavy feeling in his chest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Java was reading a report when she heard her door open
"Hey handsome" she called
"Hi beautiful" Vic replied as he crawled over her bed to kneel behind her" I heard you were a bad girl today" he whispered as he nibbled her ear in greeting
"Which occasion are you referring to?" Java asked continuing to read the report
"Opal" Vic whispered letting his lips tickle her ear as he did.
"She started it" Java said defensivly but with little intrest. Closing the report with a snap she got up to put it on her desk. As she bent over one of her drawers Vic came over and began kissing her shoulders "Someone's horny tonight" she commented
"You are too," he whispered running his hands under the belt of her trousers, just enough to tempt her "You just hide it better"
"So you had a boring day?" asked Java tuning and running a hand up Vic's chest
"Yeh, except for hearing about 'The Queen of the Technos' beating up Opal" said Vic running his fingers over her back
"Queen of the Technos? I like it" Java said approvingly walking back over to her bed and sitting back down followed by Vic.
"Mhmmm, it has a certain commanding ring to it doesn't it?" Vic muttered running his fingers in patterns over her hands and arms knowing she would be unable to resist for much longer.
"Now all I need is a king of the Technos" Java said shifting so she was kneeling astride Vic's lap
"Wonder who might fill the post" Vic said with said with a smile as Java bent down to kiss his neck.
"Mhhmmmmmm" was Java s only reply as he ran his hands through her long braids releasing them from the tight style that had been imposed on them during the day.

Ram lay back on his bed replaying the conversation with Opal in his mind; suddenly an idea struck him, a wonderful idea.
With a grin plastered across his face he got up and left his room deciding to execute his plan immediately.
