OK guys, first let me start out by apologizing. I am soooo sorry for not updating for about 2 weeks is it? I felt like I needed a break (I thought the last chapter sucked) and needed to think up some fresh ideas on how I wanted to maneuver this story. I have a couple ideas I want to run with, and I guess I'll just have to see how you like it. Now to the new reviewers: Sailor Earth, TommygurlAngel123 cici, omnigatchi, tilly-bear, Lunakitty, and joyce, thank you guys so much! And to those of you who are regularly review thanks! Especially videl621! LOL Somehow you are able to read what me thinks.Hmmm. Must find a twist.Now on with the story!

My Boyfriend's Friend

Chapter 4: Nice and Slow
I sighed as I hung up the phone. I was in disbelief as to what just occurred. I just lied, and not just to anyone, it was to Seiya. He was suppose to be my one and only and I lied! I heard a knock on my door.

"So much for lunch, eh Usagi?", Naru entered giving me the vicious eye. I was guilty and she knew it.

"Well." I started trying to think of a good lie. "I had to clear things up between us and.and.to let him know where we stood." I was looking for anything to come to mind and that's all that I could think of. I stared at her intently hoping she bought.

"Look Usagi.".

'No not the eyes', I thought as she turned to look at me. 'Damn it'

"I trust that you will do the right thing. I know you remember how you felt when Seiya went behind your back" I nodded not making the direct contact she wanted. "It's just that-"

"Look Naru, I know I brought you into this, and I know you mean well, but I'm not going to do anything to harm the relationship I've built with Seiya. I love him. I'm not just going to go out and start having meaningless sex with other people especially his best friend behind his back!" I didn't mean to shout at her, but It's just the way it came out. I believe I was more trying to convince myself more than anything else in the world.

"OK, OK. I know. I'm sorry. I won't bring it up again.BUT if you ever need my advice, please come to me k?"

"Yeah, I will. You are one of the greatest people I know.", I smiled at her. She smiled back and left. My mind began to reflect back on the kiss that I had shared with Mamoru during lunch. My heart began to race. 'Sure, letting him know where we stand', I began mocking myself. I didn't have any idea what I was getting into. I began to doubt my going over to Mamoru's, but I couldn't forget the feeling of his breath caressing my lips. I wanted to go. I had already made excuses. I said I'd be there. So I guess I will.

The day was slow going compared to the morning hour. I began to get a headache and some sniffles, but not much. The thought of getting sick was far from my mind. When 5:00 came around, I was a whirlwind trying to escape out the door. I turned to yell a meager goodbye to Naru. As I came closer to my car, my heart began to race. I hadn't felt like this in years. I hadn't felt like someone was this important since Seiya first walked into my life.

I cranked up ready to go. I pulled out the directions to Mamoru's house and realized where exactly he stayed. It was the nice condominiums located on the other side of town. I had always wanted to go inside of one. Nervousness racked my body as I drove closer and closer to my destination. I was less than a couple of minutes away and to me there was no turning back.

I went up the elevator to the top floor all the while wondering where the cash flow for this place was coming from. I approached his door and prepared to knock and I stopped. 'What am I doing?!?!' I thought to myself. 'This is wrong', but somewhere inside I felt so right. As if on its own my hand raised itself again and began to knock on his door. I stepped to the side, hating how I looked in peepholes. I heard the undoing of the lock and braced myself.

"Usagi! You came. I was kind of worried you wouldn't show." He stepped aside and motioned for me to come in. As I walked in I saw the gorgeous décor that adorned his place. I made it a mental note to ask where all the money came from. Everything was decorated in black and silver. He had classic paintings on the walls with soft music playing in the background. I nodded my approval.

"Nice place you have here. I never thought you to be one with good taste." I teased him. It was nice going back to who we use to be.

"Well thanks. I didn't come back here with nothing you know." He laughed. And how I loved his laugh. His voice. It was like silk on a freshly bathed body. "Beer?" he asked.

"Why not?" I smiled as I walked around his place more. I couldn't believe this was his place. I peeked around the corner to see his bedroom. I couldn't help but blush as raunchy thoughts passed through my mind. 'Seiya, Seiya, Seiya', I started to remind myself. For some reason I felt like an overly horny teenager. Mamoru tapped me on my shoulder and I all but jumped into his arms.

"Scared you?" He laughed at me, lightly holding on to my hips and looking down at me with his intense eyes.

"Not really." I blushed. He used to always sneak up behind me for pleasure, I wasn't going to let him have the satisfaction. I took my beer from him.

"Did too." He smirked

"Did not." I walked back towards his living room and had a seat on his couch. It was so nice and fluffy, it was hard to believe.

"So.how was work?" he asked. I guess he was trying to make casual conversation.

"It was good." I said, really wanting to say that he made it better and worse at the same time. "You?"

"It was a good day.", he simply stated. I turned away from him to find something else to look at. Anything to take my mind off the wicked thoughts I was feeling towards him.

For a while we were talking. Mostly reminiscing on our friendship of old, and also talking about where I lives were taking us. It was kind of nice, but odd at the same time. The more I was near him, the more I felt him, the closer I wanted to become to him. Conversation had died down a little and we were sitting back on his couch watching TV and still drinking. His proximity to me should have been too close for comfort, but I wanted him closer with knowledge that any closer, and he would be on top of me. I stared at the TV not really caring what was on it, but just feeling a contentment I had long lost and had not realized it. I felt his eyes on me a couple of time and I'm sure he saw me turn to look up at him once or twice. The insanity that he was putting my mind through along with the beer was almost getting too much to handle. I looked at my watch on my hand and I jumped up.

"Oh my God.It's fucking 11:45! Shit, um. Mamoru, I have to go. I have to work tomorrow, and Seiya, he's probably been looking for me.", I turned to look at Mamoru. His eyes, they spoke to me. My body relaxed and I sat back down.

"Hey, Usagi, I don't want to hurt Seiya, and I most of all don't ever want to hurt you again. Let's just take this nice and slow, and see where it goes. I'm not going to try to corrupt you. All I can do is feel what I feel right now for you. I don't know what it is.maybe it's the alcohol, but I didn't always drink like this." He started.

"What are you trying to say?", I laid my hand unknowingly on his thigh.

"I'm just saying that, for what its worth, I've always felt for you" He leaned toward me. His breath was beginning to warm my skin. He then closed the gap between us. My heart stopped. I thought lunch hour was incredible, but this, this was inhuman. He brushed his tongue across my lips, and I obediently opened my mouth to him. His arms wrapped around my body as I tired to do the same to his large built frame. I wanted to melt into him. I began to pull him back onto his couch with me, and he parted my legs with a swift movement of his knee. The kiss deepened more as we both held on ignoring our oxygen deprived lungs. I would have died right there in bliss except for his abruptly stopped.

"What-" I began wondering were the warmth disappeared to. Then I looked up into his eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes. They were searching me. They were comforting me. He leaned down and gave me a small peck on the lips.

"I won't take you like this.", he simply stated to me. "I when the time comes, I will explore the depths of your body, but not now."

"." I couldn't say anything. I was taken away by the consideration he held for me.

"I would ask you to stay, but I know you can't. You should get going. You have work tomorrow right?"

"Yeah" I said attempting to straiten up. I got up and my head was swimming with thoughts of lust. "Umm. thank you." I simply offered. He cupped my cheek and leaned down and kissed me softly. Before we could go at it again, we broke apart. I looked up at him once more and turned towards the door.

"Hey, I'll talk to you soon?"

"Yeah, sure." I smiled at him. By now it was 12:30, and I was sober from the alcohol, but not from his kisses. I walked out of his door and towards the elevator. I felt him watching me the whole way. Before I stepped into the elevator I gave him another wave and was gone.

I got into my car and slammed the door. I just sat there before I just burst out into tears. I yelled out every curse in the book. Why the fuck me? WHY?!?! I was supposed to be in love with Seiya. He is supposed to me my one and only, but now I wanted someone else because of lust.

I was a mess driving home. Each time I thought of Mamoru, another car was almost hit from my negligence. I just wanted to crawl into my bed and escape. I had nothing but work tomorrow, so I didn't have to wake up until 8:00.

As I walked into my apartment, I saw my messages flashing. I pressed the buttons.

"One message" said the machine. "Message one." BEEP!

"Usagi, It's not like you to lie. So I'm waiting for you to come over and study like you told Seiya you would. Usagi.I hope that your not doing what I think you are. If I don't see you, expect to see me tomorrow." BEEP!

"No more messages. Press the erase button to erase all messages."

I sighed. I didn't want to deal with this. I'm going to end up digging myself deeper and deeper into a hole. But that was OK. Everything inside of me kept telling me to keep going. I crawled into bed after setting my alarm clock.

"Just keep going." I drifted to sleep.
Not to exciting, but its something to hold you over. Now that I have laid a semi good foundation, you can expect things to start getting juicer! Please review. -Lady Imp
