Chapter Four
I've really had it up to here lately.
Rei sipped at her coffee from a twenty-four hour coffee place. It was now one in the morning but she didn't feel remotely like going home. Yuuchirou was probably sitting up hoping she'd come home. She'd come home when she damn well felt like it.
She glanced out the window, cars were passing by, street lights were changing, and the occasional person were walking by even at this time of the morning.
Her eyes locked with another's from outside the coffee house and she choked on her coffee. Coughing and hitting herself on the chest a few times she recovered. Rei's eyes went right back to the spot but he wasn't there.
Rei figured that she was probably just imagining things. At least she did until ten minutes later, coffee in hand, Jadeite approached her table.
"What a coincidence." Jadeite was smiling as he sat down across from her.
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Rei rolled her eyes. "What do you want?"
"I was just wondering why you're in a café at this time of night. Maybe you were pining for me?" Jadeite took a drink of his coffee.
"It's none of your business!" Rei's face twisted angrily.
"Something to do with the husband?" Jadeite guessed. "Well, if it is, I have the perfect way to get over that."
"Dammit Jadeite…" Rei's eyebrow twitched irritably. "I just said it was none of your business."
"It is now. Tell me." Jadeite reached for a sugar packet.
"Why should I?" Rei shot him a nasty look.
"You can be as brutally honest as you want to me." Jadeite tore open the small packet. "Which I can already tell you can't be with a certain other person."
"You don't even know him! So how can you even begin to tell me anything about him? I've been married to him for five years and known him for about six years before that." Rei set her cup down in a frustrated manner.
"Am I wrong then? You can be honest with him?" Jadeite didn't seem to be getting angry and that was pissing Rei off to no end.
"Okay, you want to know? Because of you, I've been having all these goddamn flashes of memories that have never come before, it's pissing me off, and if I don't give him all the attention he needs, he starts complaining! He thinks there's something wrong and he's right!" Rei rubbed her head. "And tonight he finally got pissed off all because he said I love you and I…"
"And you?" Jadeite prompted her to go on.
"I didn't say anything." Rei saw the look Jadeite was giving her. "I thought he knew! I didn't think I had to say anything!"
"Do you know how painful it is to say I love you to a person and not hear it right back?" Jadeite asked her.
"Um…" Rei thought hard. She had never actually confessed to someone first before and she had never really had the problem arise before. Oh she had had unrequited love but that was entirely different because she had never confessed. "No."
"I wish I could show you…but I think if I tell you that I love you, you might just pour your coffee on me." Jadeite eyed her coffee in a timid sort of way that made Rei actually laugh. What was she doing? Sitting there and laughing with this man?
"So you're saying that it's very painful no matter what the person does if they don't say it back?" Rei guessed.
"If you really need reassurance, yes." Jadeite looked very knowledgeable. "Obviously he's feeling rather insecure."
"Why would he feel insecure?" Rei looked down at the swirling brown liquid in the cup. "It's not like he knows about…these stupid memories…"
"It's funny." Jadeite looked out the window and seemed as though he were a million miles away. "This must be what they mean when they say 'One person's trash is another person's treasure.'"
Rei wanted to groan. Even if Jadeite was an arrogant prick, between his Silver Millennium memories and his Dark Kingdom memories, he probably favored his Silver Millennium memories a lot more. Now she felt like a bitch. Why was this happening to her? She didn't ask for him to come back.
"All I'm saying is that he doesn't know that in the past, we were fucking." Rei kept her face looking neutral about the subject.
"I like the way to you refer to it Hino-san." Jadeite used the formal title just to aggravate her and he knew it was working. "If it were me I would have said something along the lines of 'He doesn't know that in the past, we were in love.'"
"How do I really know it was more then that? Especially to you?" Rei questioned. "You turned evil and helped attack the Moon Kingdom. I do remember that much. Would you really do that if we were in love?"
"Let me tell you about it. We were captured together, the Shittenou, and we were brainwashed by Beryl while we were still weak." Jadeite closed his eyes as if the memory was very painful. "I regret it. I regret it more then anything but can I really fix it beyond what I'm already doing?"
"Which is?" Rei arched an eyebrow.
"Trying to wheedle back to your good side." Jadeite spoke calmly but she knew he wasn't being serious. She glared anyways. "Gods, Rei, what the hell do you think I'm doing? All I want to do is be with you again! Haven't I made that clear?"
"All I've gathered is that you think you can just come back and that everything will be alright but real life doesn't work that way!" Rei got up and stormed out of the café.
"Rei!" Jadeite was running out right after her. "Rei, come back here."
Rei just kept on walking, trying her best to ignore him. He finally caught up with her, grabbing her arm and whirling her to face him.
"Dammit Rei! What the hell do I have to say to you to make you understand?" Jadeite looked so frustrated that he might actually hit her. Rei somehow got the feeling that he wouldn't.
"Understand what?" Rei growled.
"I love you." Jadeite leaned in to kiss her. Rei stepped back.
"I'm married." Rei stated, the words sounding weak.
"I don't care." Jadeite told her. "I love you. I want you Rei; I want to show you why I came back all this way just for you."
"Jadeite-" Rei was cut off as he surprised her by kissing her. Once again she shoved him away. "It doesn't work like-" He kissed her again. "No, Jadeite-" The kisses continued. No longer just her mouth but her jaw line and her neck. His hands were moving.
Memories started to burn in Rei's mind. Other kisses, other times. It was all so long ago but here in the present, it was there. It was him. Before she realized what she was doing, she was kissing him back. They were frantically kissing as if they only had five seconds in which to do all the kissing they would ever do.
"Come with me." Jadeite murmured through kisses. Rei could only nod. Jadeite half carried her along, as they seemed to be trying to get away with as much as they could out in public as they possibly could. Rei's shirt was halfway unbuttoned by the time they made it to the hotel where Jadeite was staying. Jadeite was sure that the only reason he was still wearing his was because Rei would have to move in order to get it off.
They got inside his room and clothes began to fall to the floor in a crumpled heap. Jadeite was so intent on what he was doing that he backed into a doorway and hit his head fairly hard but didn't stop what he was doing until he had deposited Rei on the bed. He sent a trail of kisses down her neck, between her breasts, and past her belly button. Her underwear came off very quickly.
Jadeite ran his tongue up the inside of her upper thigh and Rei moaned. He began to move his tongue closer and closer to where her legs met. Finally he was there and he began to move his tongue in a way that made Rei yell out in pleasure. Jadeite could feel himself grow harder as she moved in a subconscious attempt to get closer to him.
After a few more moments, she was bucking wildly as she began to orgasm. Jadeite kept going until she had completely died down. Then he moved to get inside of her. Rei wrapped her body around him and he sat up, her legs wrapped around him, just like so long ago before he began to move inside of her.
"Jadeite!" Rei called out, as he kept going, faster and faster.
"Do you want me?" Jadeite asked her as pushed. Rei didn't say anything, just began to sweat as the heat between them grew. "Do you want me?"
"I want you." Rei whispered before he reached his peak. He emptied himself into her but Rei didn't seem satisfied. She kept grinding against him and they kept going, very late into the early morning.
* * *
The sunlight began to pour through the ugly pink curtains on the window. Rei realized where she was. In Jadeite's room. In Jadeite's bed. With Jadeite. They were tangled together, completely naked. She glanced at the clock. Nine in the morning. She had probably gotten three hours of sleep if she guessed right.
Gods, what did I do?
Last night…I don't know what came over me…
I wanted it, didn't I?
Rei moved out of the bed. Jadeite didn't stir. She wouldn't be surprised if he slept until past noon. She had to get out of there. How the hell was she going to explain this to Yuuchirou? Of course he didn't know about it. Would he suspect? Maybe if she said she was spent the night at Usagi's…Yeah, he'd believe that.
She began to search for her clothes. Some of them were in the bedroom, but not a lot of them. Most of them were in the small living room that had separated the bedroom from the door. Rei began to put on her clothes. She was halfway through putting on her shirt when she heard a sound that made her heart stop.
"What are you doing?" Rei turned her head slowly to look at Jadeite. He was still completely naked, standing in the doorway between the bedroom and the living room, and seemed to frowning at her.
"I've got to go home." Rei did the buttons quickly.
"What?" Jadeite took a step towards her.
"I don't know what I was thinking last night, but I wasn't thinking clearly." Rei didn't quite meet his eye. "I just know that I need to get home and try to explain to my husband where I went."
"Why should you have to explain anything to him? I thought…" Jadeite's brow furrowed.
"What did you think? You could just fuck me and everything would end happily ever after?" Rei asked him viciously.
"Rei!" Jadeite stormed over and grabbed her shoulders. "I did not just fuck you. I love you!"
"You love me?" Rei scoffed. "Sure."
"No…" Jadeite let go of her shoulders. "Dammit, Rei, why? Do you love him?"
"Yes!" Rei straightened her clothes and walked to the door, starting to open it. Jadeite walked over and shut it with one hand.
"You love him? Say that you love him!" Jadeite demanded. "Look in my eyes and tell me you love him."
"Fuck you!" Rei tried to open the door but Jadeite closed it as soon as it opened an inch. "I don't have to sit here and play these games with you Jadeite!"
"Not like the games you played with me last night!" Jadeite yelled at her. "Who's the real bad guy here Rei? I told you how I felt, you told me you wanted me, we made love and you throw me aside!"
"What the hell do I owe you?" Rei spat at him.
"Everything!" Jadeite grabbed a hold of her and kissed her passionately. Rei felt her head begin to swim but she pushed him aside.
"You're such a fucking child!" Rei slapped him across the face. "What? Finally figuring out that life doesn't work out the way you want it to?"
"I'm the child Rei? What the hell are you? Are all men toys? Who else do you fuck other then your husband?" Jadeite asked her grabbing her wrist when she went to slap him again.
"How dare you accuse me of-" Rei started but Jadeite cut her off.
"I have every right to accuse you of whatever the hell I want to! How dare you use me and then leave me?" Jadeite accused.
"You're the one who started this whole thing! I didn't want to sleep with you!" Rei hollered.
"Oh! So now you're going to claim that I raped you?" Jadeite squeezed her wrist a bit painfully. "You told me you wanted me!"
"I told you that I don't have to sit here and play these games with you!" Rei opened the door and Jadeite shut it again.
"I'm not going to just let you walk out of here." Jadeite told her.
"Are you going to keep me here?" Rei challenged.
"I'll do whatever I have to! Rei, don't walk out that door!" Jadeite voice was half commanding and half pleading with her.
"It's too late now." Rei shoved him away from the door and pulled it open, walking out and slamming it shut behind her. She rushed down the hall towards the stairs, not wanting to have to wait for the elevator. A tear fell down her cheek and then another. Fuck him, she wasn't going to cry because him.
Looking back at the door a thought flitted across her mind that she tried to block out.
Forgive me…
She wasn't sure who she was apologizing to.
