Disclaimer: Tekken is not mine and neither are the lyrics to Mary J. Blige's: Steal Away. Steal Away's lyrics will be read through out this fanfic. Might I add that Mary's CD: No More Drama is one of the best CD's of all time! Oh, and Trevene is mine though.
Chapter 2
"Okay Christie, there's your target," Julia said as she pointed to the, 'oh so sexy Jin' standing in front of his car smoking a cigarette. "Now all you need to do is get him to notice you." I nodded but at the same time thought that this really didn't make any sense anymore. I was dressed like a hoe; my green and black duo but I usually wear these out on a date or to a club. I had on red lipstick and the rest of my make-up was flesh tone and I could barely walk in the heels because I was so nervous.
"Christie! What the hell is taking you so long!?" Trevene called to me with Julia there looking at me. We were across the street in front of the chemistry building where we had just finished our lab. I hate having to go to lab on Saturday when I could be sitting at home doing many things other than thinking. Julia and Trevene were sitting on the stairs and I was standing up waiting for the cars to stop. It wasn't really something I had to wait for because the cars weren't going to stop anytime soon.
"You better hurry it up before Xiao comes or he ends up driving away." Julia rolled her eyes. "I hope he drives away. You are taking way too long."
I wanted to kick her in the face, but I controlled myself and finally gathered the courage to walk down the stairs. But as I walked down the stairs my tempered boyfriend Eddy came up to Jin and began to hold a conversation with him.
"Hey Jin! Wassup? How's it going?"
Jin threw the finished cigarette on the floor. "Hey. I'm good."
I slapped my forehead and walked back up the stairs. As I walked back up the stairs Trevene and Julia were laughing harder than ever on the stairs. "What's so funny?"
They straightened up. "I didn't know that Eddy knew Jin!" more insane laughter.
"I didn't know that Hwoarang, Eddy and Jin were such good friends." Julia now pointed to them with her insane laughing. I looked to see Jin, Hwoarang and Eddy laughing and having a good time. I couldn't believe this! Eddy knows Hwoarang and the one that I want, Jin! What am I going to do now? Jin knows Eddy and Hwoarang knows Jin! I have no idea what I am going to do now and I have no idea how I am going to get Jin to meet me…or do I?
"Oh Trevene," I said as I straightened up Trevene and shook her.
"What?" she asked with her eyes looking at me amused.
"You know Hwoarang knows Jin and Hwoarang is at our dorm room almost every single day…right?"
Julia now stopped laughing and looked at me. "So is Eddy."
I looked at her with a hard look. "No one is speaking to Julia right now but if she leaves a message, I'll certainly get back to her later. BEEEP!"
"The answering machine again? Okay I was planning on—"
"Anyway," I interrupted. "If you invite Hwoarang over and ask Jin if he can come over, he can meet me today at our dorm room."
I took my hands off of her and she looked at me. "But what if Ling decides she wants to come over with him?"
I shrugged. "She can't come in if no one lets her in…"
Trevene giggled. This was going to be a marvelous plan indeed. I looked at Julia now who was looking down at the ground in disgust. "Now you may speak."
She looked at me with a really irritated face. "Thanks for your permission. Do you want me to kiss your feet too?"
"No but you can certainly kiss my ass."
Julia got up like she was ready to fight so I was about to take off my heels when Trevene stepped in the middle, cell phone in hand and the wind blowing those blonde locks of hers. "The job is done. Jin and Hwoarang are coming over alone. No Xiao today Christie."
I jumped up forgetting I had my heels on and fell flat on my butt. Trevene and Julia laughed so hard that they nearly died laughing…
*****************
"How long do I have to wait until they get here?" I was getting a little impatient waiting for these two to actually ring the dorm bell. I was sitting on the couch staring at the television. I didn't know what was playing and really I didn't care. Trevene was sitting beside me staring at her cell phone and happened to see what time it was. 8:45 pm.
"Damn! It's 8:45. What the hell is taking Hwoarang so long?" I looked at her with amusement. She is always complaining about her boyfriend. I remember they had a big fight just the other day about who ate the last chilidog. That was so hilarious! I swear! I laughed for days!
Just as I was reminiscing about what happened to my roommate the doorbell rang. She jumped over the couch and ran to the door looking out and saw her knight in shining armor with his friend standing there. She flung the door open and hugged Hwoarang in what seemed like a death grip. I laughed at Trevene and her crazy ways then smiled as Jin looked at me. Jin looked at me! Not anyone else but me!
All three of them stepped inside of the dorm. Hwoarang introduced everybody. "Yo Jin. You know my girl Trevene." Trevene waved. "This is Christie, her roommate and I don't know where Julia is." I waved at Jin and he waved back. Trevene kissed Hwoarang with a deep kiss and Hwoarang patted her lightly on the butt. She then ran into the bedroom and whistled for him to come on. "And you two get acquainted because I have an appointment with a bed and a chick that needs some TLC." And with that Hwoarang stormed into the bedroom and slammed the door so hard that you would have thought that it would fall off of the hinges.
So here I am with Jin. He sat down on the other side of the couch. I looked at him and stared him up and down. He was wearing a black sweater with a matching black vest, and black pants with matching black shoes. His hair is like it always was and smelled like he had Calvin Klein cologne on. I looked to see he was staring at the television just looking at what was on…then I looked at what I had on. I had on my pj's. My teddy bear t-shirt and shorts with my teddy bear slippers. As I was looking down, he turned and looked at me.
"What's wrong?"
I stopped looking at myself and went cold. He just talked. I didn't know what to say…whether to just blurt out everything or just to stay silent. I was stumped.
So I just said, "Nothing."
He nodded. "Uh, how long have you and Trevene been roommates or friends?" he wanted to hold conversation of course.
"We have been roommates two years and friends seven."
He nodded again. I didn't know what to say. I really wanted to hold conversation right back but it wasn't happening. I wanted to say something so I just said anything. "How is your girlfriend doing?" Damn! I can't believe I just said that! I wanted to talk about him and me not her!
"She's doing fine thanks." He looked at me with one eyebrow raised. "You know Ling?"
I cringed at the thought of her. "No. I just heard of her. I really don't know anything about her."
His eyebrow went to its normal state. "Oh." He then turned back to the television. What was the point of bringing him here if I can't talk straight? I had to find something to talk about and get him to notice me more. There has to be something that I can talk about with him.
"So how is Eddy?" I stared at him for the longest. "Eddy is your boyfriend right?"
I nodded. "He is—uh, fine." Oooo, how I forgot he knew Eddy. Damn! This is starting to look bad. I wanted him here so that we can talk and he can fall for me. But it seems like he isn't doing that and that I'm not really liking him after all. But just then he shook his head at what was on the television. I looked to see there was a girl there arguing with what seemed to be her boyfriend, and they were yelling and screaming and throwing their hands up in the air. I turned back to him to see that he was really annoyed in deep thought of looking at this commercial and I guess he was thinking of Xiao.
"What's wrong?" I asked him as he stared at the television. He stared at me for a minute and then he looked down to the floor. "I hate this commercial."
"Why?" This was supposed to be a funny commercial about couples…why does he hate it?
He looked up at me. "This commercial reminds me of Ling. We are always arguing and fighting over the silliest things…"
I would have smiled at this moment of opportunity, but for some reason I felt his pain. "I know how you feel. Eddy and I do the same thing but he has a really bad temper so you would have to watch out for him when there is a fight."
He looked at the television again and then back at me. "The stupidest things she would argue over. She argued with me over an opened refrigerator. I just don't understand her…why can't she be more civilized like you?"
I suddenly began to blush. I can't believe he thinks that I am civilized. I would have never thought that I would have heard that come out of his mouth. "You really think that I'm civilized?"
He nodded. "Yes. I see you with Eddy everyday. You always seem to look civilized to me even when you argue in public. You don't continue the riot. You just either ignore it or walk away from it. I like that in a woman," he began to smile. "I respect a woman like that. Ling would never do that…she would be to busy trying to contribute to it."
I raised an eyebrow. "So are you telling me that you would rather have me than Ms. Ling Xiao." He gave a sexy smile then he rested his elbow on the armrest. I really began to blush now.
"I guess I am." He had been going out with Ling for what seemed to be and eternity and to them 2 years was an eternity. But what I didn't know was that all that trying to impress him would have been the wrong approach anyway because he really liked me as much as I liked him. I had been going out with Eddy the same time he was going out with Ling, but I had no idea that he and she had so many problems. I turned my head, to the door blushing widely. My head began to spin…this is all happening so fast. And if this did happen, how will Eddy react if he found out his girlfriend of two years has been cheating on him with another man, and the other man was Jin Kazama?
He scooted over so he could be right next to me. He put his hand to my chin and turned my head to face him. "Are you okay? For a minute you looked sick."
"I'm okay, thanks." I stared at him for a minute. "But how long have you actually wanted to be with me."
He gave a small grin. "Almost the whole time I've been with Ling." Then he leaned in and gave me a small kiss on the lips. My head really began to spin. The whole time he's been with Ling?
He's playing games with you. Hwoarang told him to do that. Why do you think he ran into the room so fast?
Funny. Now voices are in my head telling me he's playing games. But if he is then I don't want him to stop. I watched as he leaned in again to kiss me but I didn't hold back this time. I kissed him as well. I watched as he closed his eyes and kissed me, it being more passionate than last time. He grabbed my back and my hair as I did the same to him. I guess this really was the perfect time to get him into my dorm room.
Steal Away, Steal Away. Before a day we'll never say.
He laid me down on the couch as we kissed, but something didn't feel right. I really didn't want to go this fast…but don't get me wrong, I wanted him, but not like this. I wanted to have him as a boyfriend, forgetting about reality. I didn't want to fight it, but I didn't want him to have his way with me the first time he saw me either. I was about to break off the kiss but then he slid his tongue into my mouth. My mind swirled. I can't believe he just did that. His black vest was now thrown to the floor and I kicked off my teddy slippers. His sweater was becoming messy and wrinkled as was my shirt, but I didn't care for some reason.
One of his hands began to rub my back as his other hand roamed the rest of my body. His touch felt so good right now. I knew Hwoarang's touch felt good right about now because I heard Trevene howling from her room. The feel of his hands made me moan, but I still didn't feel right. I was beginning to get aroused by his touch. But still, I didn't feel right. I broke off the kiss.
"Jin, I don't feel right doing this right now." He stopped and looked at me with concern. Realizing what he just did, he backed up to the edge of the seat and like a little kid sat there quietly. Now I felt bad. I didn't want him to feel bad. "Jin," I began.
"No it's not you," he said. "I just rushed into things." He looked down at the floor.
"It's okay Jin. I know you want this as badly as I do." I knew that wasn't too much comfort but I really wanted him to understand him. My mind yearned to forgive him but my body yearned for his touch.
He looked at me. "Are you sure because I am sorry if I hurt you in any way-"
His sentence was cut off by a kiss from me. I really didn't care too much for an apology I cared more for him. Once again we fell into the tight embrace we were in before, tongues colliding. Then we fell back on the couch. This must be a perfect start to our friendship, and my perfect plan to 'Steal Away.'
