Chapter 2: Breathe On Me

"You two know each other?" Rome looked at Krys then back at Tej.
"You could say that." Tej replied coolly.
As Krys was about to say something the huge crowd of people that had come to watch the races flocked around the racers. "Damn girl, you are the first person to beat me other than blondie over there." Suki nodded toward Brian.
"They call me Krys." She half-smiled and stuck out her hand.
"Suki." She said returning the smile and shaking her hand. "And, I say we party." She grinned. Fifteen minutes later that is what they were doing. Tej, Suki, Jimmy, Brian, Mia, Rome, Krys, and a bunch of other street racers were at a club in Miami called 'Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below'. Tej left Suki's side and walked over to where Krys was standing at the edge of the dance floor.
"So where's your new boy toy?" Tej asked, not looking at her.
"He went to go get me a drink." Krys replied, She turned and looked at him, he had a surprised look across his face.
"What happened to, 'I'll never drink again?'" Tej asked, still not looking at her.
"Tej." Krys said in a low voice that was almost a growl. She uncrossed her arms and glanced back at the bar where Rome was waiting on the drinks.
"Krystina, don't play." He said still not looking at her.
"I'm not playing." She retorted, "Are you afraid looking at me will sting or something?" Krys grabbed his right arm. "You don't have to be like this, I didn't do anything and what happened wasn't my fault." She reminded him.
He didn't say anything for a moment, Tej shrugged Krys off his arm and uncrossed his own. "Let's dance." He said finally turned and looked at her. She rolled her orange-brown eyes and lead him out onto the dance floor. Britney Spears' 'Breathe On Me' came out on over the stereo, Krys smiled.

Oh, it's so hot, and I need some air.

Oh boy, don't stop 'cos I'm halfway there

It's not complicated, we're just syncopated

We can read each other's minds.

One love united

Two bodies synchronising

Don't even need to touch me

Baby, just

Breathe on me, yeah, oh

Baby just, breathe on me

We don't need to touch, just

Breathe

Rome shoved his way back through the crowd where Krys had been standing, but she wasn't there. Brian and Mia were currently occupying the space. "Either of you two seen Krys?" Rome asked. Brian and Mia looked at each other then back at Rome. "What?" Rome lowered his eyebrows.
Brian nodded toward the dance floor, "She's out there with Tej." He told his friend.
"Brian." The happiness faded from Mia's face, and her voice, it was like she was scolding him for something.
"Brian, they are just dancing, it's not like I think he is gonna jump her or anything." Rome rolled his eyes and laughed a little at Brian. "I trust her." He smiled before taking a drink of his Henessy.
"I'm glad." Brian murmured.
"Did you say somethin?" Rome arched an eyebrow. Brian shook his head innocently and Rome took his drink and Krys's drink to the table where Jimmy and Suki were sitting.

~~~~

Oh, this is way beyond the physical (it's a way beyond the physical)

Tonight, my senses don't make sense at all

Our imagination, taking us to places

We have never been before

Take me in, let it out

Don't even need to touch me

Baby, just

Breathe on me, yeah, oh baby

Just, breathe on me.

We don't need to touch, just

Breathe (breathe) on (on) me (me), oh baby

Just, breathe (breathe) on (on) me (me)

We don't need to touch

Just breathe

~~~~~

Tej had his hands on Krys's bare hips and she had her arms around his neck. There wasn't much room between them as they talked and danced. "Think Rome is gonna hurt me for dancing with you?" Tej ask.
Krys had her head turned right, and when Tej said this she turned back to the front and accidentally brushed his lips with her own. She took a small step back, surprised at what had just happened. "Sorry." She smiled as the song ended and her cheeks hinted at a shade of light pink.
"It's okay Shawty." He smiled.
Krys walked off the dance floor to Suki, Brian, Mia, and Jimmy's table. "Here is your drink." Suki slid a glass of iced Sprite Remix across the table.
"Where's Rome?" Krys asked before taking a sip.
"Bathroom." Jimmy replied.

~~~~

Breathe, breathe

Breathe on me oh

Baby just, breathe on me

We don't need to touch, just

Breathe on me oh

Baby just, breathe on me

We don't need to touch, just

~~~~

The men's bathroom was empty except for Tej and Rome who had both just finished washing their hands. As they were about to leave, Rome grabbed Tej by the shoulders and slammed him up against the door. "Don't touch my girlfriend ever again." He growled. Rome let go and yanked open the door left the bathroom.

A/N: Since there has been absolutely no interest in this story I am putting it on hiatus, sad I know. But I have other things that I'm more into like the sequel to Pain is Love and my first ever X-Men fic, so be looking for those if you are interested. Don't worry, this story will be finished eventually.
