----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
Roxy walked through the door sliding it shut behind her. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. What had she been thinking? Damn it! Why did she always fall for the wrong men? Nothing a trip to the clubs won't solve I'm sure. I just haven't had a good fling in awhile... She walked passed a table and noticed a vase of white roses. So that's where he got them from. That would be good to know if anyone asked her about her flower. She would just say she couldn't help taking one from the vase as she walked outside. She entered the room where the girls were and sat down beside Minako again.
"Hey Roxy, where'd you go for so long?" Minako asked when she sat down.
"I needed some fresh air and I thought you girls would like ta talk privately about all dat weddin' stuff..." Minako gave her a knowing look but did not press her further. Mi-chan knew how uncomfortable commitment was for her; unfortunately, Usagi did not and asked:
"So Roxy, we were just talking about our 'dream weddings'. What do you think yours will be like?" Roxy knew that Usagi was only trying to bring her into the group but she really did not want to talk about weddings or anything, but glancing at Mina's nervous look she sighed and answered the question. A question she hadn't thought about since she was a little girl.
"Well I suppose da perfect wedding would be an outdoor ceremony, wit' family an' friends. And there'd 'ave to be roses, lots of roses, of every color, white, red, yellow... and it'd be in spring, in California, it's so beautiful in da hills when everything is coming back to life." The girls nodded that that would be a very beautiful wedding. "And I'd have to wear my mother's weddin' dress, she looked so beautiful in it, my father said that he fell in love wit' her all over again on their weddin' day." Her eyes started to water and she blinked back the tears. She took a deep breath and smiled at everyone.
"Aww that's so sweet. She'll love to see you in her dress." Makoto said. Roxy bit her lip to stop the pang of sadness that crept up on her again. She looked down at her hands and nodded. Mina rested her hand on top of hers and squeezed it in comfort.
Before anyone could ask questions about Roxy's sudden sadness Mamoru walked into the room. "Usako are you ready to go?" he said looking at his watch. Usagi pouted at the thought of having to leave her friends.
"I don't wanna go yet." She said, much like a five year old would talk to her mother about not wanting to leave a toy store. "I think we should have a sleepover!" She said suddenly perking up. Mamoru sighed. Every damn time she came here, she never wanted to leave. "But I'm sure the gir..." He was interrupted by a series of 'hai's' coming from the other girls.
"See Mamo-chan! We all wanna hang out and talk and do girlie stuff tonight." He smirked down at his angel and shrugged.
"Fine with me, but I suppose you would like a drive to get your stuff from home." Usagi nodded, and bounded over to him wrapping her arms around his waist. He wrapped his arms around her waist too and leaned down to place a kiss on her lips. Her arms moved up to his neck instinctively deepening their kiss. Mamoru's hands made their way to his fiancées back, pulling her closer to his body. He ran his tongue over her bottom lip asking for entrance, which she gladly gave. He was quite happy in his current situation but reluctantly broke the kiss when he heard a chorus of giggles coming from in front of him. He opened one and saw that the girls were giggling at Rei who was mocking him and Usagi.
Usagi turned around and saw Rei's antics. Grabbing the nearest pillow, she threw it at her friend. The pillow hit Rei in the face. She gave Usagi an evil glare as the pillow fell from her face.
"Well you're the one who was making out with him in front of everyone! Don't get mad at me you hormone crazed odango atama!" Rei spat to her friend angrily. Mamoru sighed as he knew what was coming next. The other girls also seemed to sense Usagi's impending tantrum and busied themselves trying to make light of Rei's comment.
"Oh Usa-chan don't pay attention to Rei she's just jealous!" Makoto said.
"Yeah Usagi! Come on don't get mad! Get even! Hehe." Minako giggled.
"Rei didn't mean it Usagi. Right Rei-chan?" Ami asked looking at Rei hopeful that she would not ruin their attempts to thwart a tantrum.
"No..." Ami sighed in relief, "I meant every word!" The three girls gave her dirty glances as Usagi lunged at Rei. Mamoru sighed and looked at Roxy, who was the only person not trying to get his Usako off her best friend. She was looking at him intently with a small smile on her lips. He stared into her eyes, getting more lost by the second. He looked down to break contact with her, which was a big mistake, as he was now staring at her full red lips. He wondered what they would taste like, what she would taste like. He watched as her tongue came out to lick her bottom lip. He felt his pants tighten and he groaned. What the hell was he doing?! Thinking about her like that, how she would feel under... No! Stop it Mamoru! Damn it! She probably doesn't even realize what she's doing! He need to leave. Immediately.
"Usa! Get off Rei. The quicker we leave to get your stuff the quicker you can come back and get you're 'revenge'." Usagi's head popped out of the pile of girls on the floor.
"Hai Mamo-chan... Mako-chan get off my hair!" Usagi said struggling to get out.
"Ow! Shit! That was my leg Usagi!" Minako said from under the pile.
"Geroff!" Rei yelled, trying to push Ami off her face. Ami just squeaked as she was pushed off Rei and landed unceremoniously on the outside of the pile. Usagi appeared only a minute later, and smoothing out her clothes, she walked over to Mamoru and placed her hand in his.
"Ok minna, I'll be back soon." She said as the two left the room, walking towards the door. Mamoru was glad to get out of the room, which had suddenly gotten way to hot. He could not believe that Roxy was affecting him so much; no other woman had done so since he had been with Usagi. He wondered what made her so enticing.
Mamoru unlocked his car and opened the door for Usagi before going over to the driver's side and getting in. He started the car and drove off towards her house, trying to get the images of Roxy's lips out of his mind.
After Usagi and Mamoru left, the other four girls made their way to their own houses. Minako and Roxy walked down the street in silence until Minako said: "Sorry about the girls. They didn't mean the bring up bad memories for you." Roxy shrugged.
"It's ain't like they new better hun. Nothin' to worry 'bout." Roxy said linking her arm with Minako and leaning her head on her best friends shoulder. Minako rested her head on Roxy's and sighed contently.
"I'm so glad that you came. This summer is going to be the best!" Minako said. Roxy smiled at her friend's enthusiasm. It would be a good summer, unless she couldn't control her carnal instincts that told her to grab onto Mamoru and go for a ride; Roxy thought as they walked passed the bakery where Minako had bought the cakes for the friendly gathering. The scent of fresh pies, cookies and cakes still lingered in the air and both girls stood for a second taking in the delicious scent before continuing down the road.
They walked into the darkened apartment, their shoes clicking on the wooden floors. "Well, Ne-chan, lets get our stuff ready then. It won't take the other girls very long to get back. Ami probably drove Mako-chan to her house too." Minako rushed up the stairs to get her overnight bag ready, while Roxy followed behind her at a less hyperactive speed. She did not really want to spend the evening watching Mi-chan and her friends talking about all their happy lives. Not that she didn't like the girls, they seemed like very nice people, but she couldn't deal with all that friendliness... Well that and if she ran into Mamoru again she would probably jump him. She sighed. This is why I've had a boyfriend all my adolescent life. Man I need to get laid. She leaned on the doorframe in Mina's room.
"I don't think I'll be goin' wit cha hun." She said. Minako stopped her packing and looked up at Roxy.
"What do you mean? They'll love to have you so don't worry about feeling left out or anything." Minako said.
Roxy shook her head. "Oh ain't that, u're friends all seem really awesome. It's just that I still ain't recovered from my trip here. So I just thought I'd cuddle up in my pj's and watch some TV or somethin' and then call it a night." Mina nodded in understanding.
"Alright, but then I can stay here with you. I mean I've seen the girls almost everyday for four years. They won't miss me tonight."
"Oh I don't think so! I know how much you love talkin' 'bout weddin's an' shit. One of u're closest friends just got herself engaged. I won't be much fun anyways. I really am tired probably gonna nod off in an hour or two and then you won't have anythin' to do the rest of the night." As if to prove her point Roxy yawned. "So you go and have your fun and then tomorrow we can go and you can show me 'round this town." Mina smiled and hugged Roxy tightly.
"Alright, but you're sure you will be fine here by yourself all night? You really don't mind?"
"Course I'll be fine! Now git! You silly girl, u're friends are waiting!" Mina nodded and finished her packing. She asked a few more times if Roxy was sure she would be fine and then with one last hug she left the house.
Roxy leaned against the door and sighed. "I don't know how she keeps it up! Always so perky!" She laughed and pushed herself off the door, heading for the comfortable and very inviting couch in the living room. She picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, going through the channels until she found something of interest. She ended up watching the last ten minutes of a entertainment news show before giving up on television. "Ok, so... now what? This is Tokyo, it's Saturday night. There has got to be somethin' to do. What to do... what to do..." She said to herself tapping her index finger on her lower lip. "Oh I know!" She said getting off the couch and running upstairs. She tore open her suitcase spreading it's contents all over the floor in the process. She rummaged around until she found her address book and her cell phone. She quickly looked up the number of one of her model friends who was doing a spread for a Japanese magazine. "Akane will so know what to do on a Saturday night. I just hope she ain't busy." She dialed the number on her cell and waited for it to pick up. After four rings she picked up. "Hey Akane! It's Roxy! How you been girlfriend?" Roxy had to hold the phone away from her ear as Akane squealed in excitement.
"Oh my god! Roxy! I'm great! How've you been? I haven't seen you since we did that show in Paris. What? Eight months ago at least?!" Akane replied.
"Yeah I know! It's been forever hun! But hey! Guess what, I just got into town this morning and I'm totally wired! I was wondering if you wanted ta show me the hot spots in the city." Roxy said as she began to look for a good outfit to go clubbing in. If she knew Akane at all, which she did, then her friend would be ready to go out in a flash.
"Well yeah! You called the right person! I know a great place! It just opened, very posh and the bartender... yummy!"
"Hmm, sounds great. So when does the night life start around here on Saturdays?" Roxy asked.
"What time is it now? Umm.. wait hold on, just a sec... ahh...crash... okay got it, it's 9 o'clock, well 9:05 to be exact. So we want to get there before it gets to busy. You know get in a few drinks, get the feel of the place. So I could pick you up in an hour? Think you could be ready?"
"Already got my outfit in hand! Okay hold on lemme git you the addy here, it's my friends place..." After they finalized their plans Roxy hurried into the bathroom to get ready. She felt a twinge of guilt going out, when she told Mina that she was going to go to bed, but she was really to restless to do anything else but 'tear up the town' as Akane had put it.
Her outfit of choice was a black leather mini that hugged her hips and legs well. She wore a white tub top so that her well-toned stomach and her luscious neckline were very visible. She put on a black leather jacket that reached her lower back. She grabbed her make-up bag, put on some light red lipstick, and coated it with glossy strawberry flavored lip- gloss. On her eyes, she put on some light purple eye shadow and black eye- liner, then some mascara and some sparkles at the edges of her eyes to finish. She put her gold hoop earrings in her ears, and put half her hair up in a clip and then she deemed herself ready for the nightlife.
Akane picked her up just after ten, apologizing for being late and then they were off to celebrate Roxy's first night in Tokyo with a bang.
Roxy walked through the door sliding it shut behind her. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. What had she been thinking? Damn it! Why did she always fall for the wrong men?
