Okay, since I know a lot of you are um, let's say, unhappy (maybe not, but w/e) that I have something horrible planned, to make them suffer more, I decided to do this. I would write this story in two ways, one with the horrible thing, and the other one without. I normally wouldn't have bothered, but I think you people out there would kill me if I revealed the horrible plan to you now.
Chapter Thirty-Six – Confession
"Let's go go-carting," Tyson suggested.
"Yeah!" the others agreed.
"What about Zarine, Ray and Kai?" Max asked. "They're not here. Are we just going to go without them?"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine. Just leave them a note," Will said.
When Zarine went back, she found a note from Tyson, Kenny, Max and Will saying that they went go-carting.
[Great!] she thought. [It would be perfect to tell him when he comes back!]
Ray came back a little later. "Where is everyone?" he asked Zarine.
"Tyson, Kenny, Will and Max went go-carting. As for Kai, I have no clue where he is," she answered.
[I should tell him now...No, I can't...I have to...] Zarine thought, battling with herself.
"Ray," she blurted out. "Uh...I....I was wondering if you want to go see a movie."
[Chicken!] she scolded herself. [You can't even tell him how you feel.]
"Yeah, sure!" he replied with a smile.
He was happy that Zarine wanted to do something with him for once.
"So what movie do you want to watch?' he asked.
"Um...I don't know," Zarine answered uncertainly. "What are some good movies that's we would both like?"
"I know!" he said. "We can go watch Troy!"
"Okay, then let's go," she said, grabbing his hand.
Ray laughed at her eagerness. "Whoa! Not so fast! We should leave Kai a not."
"Then write it quickly!" she said impatiently.
He promptly wrote Kai a note. Zarine and Ray walked down to the street with their hands still clasped tightly together. Ray didn't complain, he liked his hand where it was. When Zarine noticed she was still holding his hand, she flushed and looked up at him. He looked down at her questioningly, and noticed that her eyes were the same soft blue from the night before at the karaoke.
"Um, Ray?" Zarine said hesitantly.
"Yeah?" he answered, wondering what was going on.
"We can't go to the movie," she blurted out.
"Why not?" Ray asked, puzzled.
"Because we have to go to the park," she said firmly.
"Why?" he asked.
"You'll see," she answered mysteriously.
He was mystified, but followed her nevertheless. She brought him to a hill in the middle of the park, and turned to face him.
"Remember the night we came here to eat ice cream?' she asked quietly.
Ray replied, "Yes, but why are we here?"
Zarine ignored his question, and continued, "And you said you think I'm more beautiful than the stars?"
He frowned, and studied the small girl in front of him thoughtfully. It wasn't like her to ask such question. There was something different about her at that moment. The way she stood and the way she looked at him gave Ray the impression she was determined to do something.
"Yes, I remember," he responded finally. He still had no clue what this was all about.
"Do you...do you still mean it?" she asked in a whisper, half fearing his answer. Her heart was pounding like crazy in her chest, and there were butterflies in her stomach. She paid no heed to them, and concentrated all her attention on the one she loved standing in front of her.
"Zarine, why are you asking me this?" asked Ray in a confused tone.
"Ray, just tell me! Do you still mean it?" she asked.
Something in her voice told Ray that the answer was important to her. "Yes, I mean it still," he answered. "But I still don't see what this has to do with anything."
After a long moment of silence, Zarine confessed, "I...I love you!"
Ray was startled. He asked slowly, "You mean it? Do you really mean that?"
She nodded, her face a bright shade of red. She looked down, and strands of hair fell from behind her ear. Happiness filled Ray and he smiled.
Brushing the silver strands of hair away from her face, he said, "I love you too."
He lifted her chin up, so he could see her face better. She smiled shyly at him. Not being able to resist the temptation any longer, her wrapped his arms around her waist, and leaned down to kiss her gently.
"We better go see the movie now," he said after breaking off the kiss.
"Oh ya, I have something for you," Zarine exclaimed, suddenly remembered the gift she had for him. Digging into the pocket of her shorts, she took it out and handed it to him.
Looking at the back, he smiled, for it said, "Z loves (represented by a heart) R."
"I love it! Especially the back," he told her. He kissed her cheek, and murmured in her ear, "You're so sweet."
"Let's go see the movie," Zarine said, blushing more than ever. She began to walk away.
Ray grabbed her hand. "You're mine now, so don't you dare go anywhere without me," he warned.
She protested, "I wasn't! You just weren't following me."
Kai read the note and grumbled. Great, everyone left him all alone. Even though he didn't like to admit it, he liked being around his teammates.
"Hey Kai!" a cheerful voice said from behind. Kai recognized it as Max's voice.
"Where were you?' he asked.
"We went go-carting. We left you a note," Kenny said.
"Nope, all I found was a note from Ray and Zarine telling me that they went to the movies," the team captain answered.
"Guess they must've taken it. We got you some cotton candy! I managed not to eat it all," said Tyson.
"What a surprise," Kai remarked, and took a piece of the fluffy strawberry pink candy.
Later...
"How long can it take to watch a movie?" Max asked. "It has been over two hours and they still aren't back yet."
"I guess they were doing more than just watching a movie," Tyson answered with a sly grin.
"Watch what you're saying about my sister, Granger," Will warned with a frown. He didn't like it when people implied such things about Zarine.
"Will, take it easy. He's just got a dirty mind," Zarine said lightly, coming into the room with Ray, who had his arm around her.
"What movie did you watch?" Max asked curiously. "It took you forever to come back."
"We watched Troy, and it was three hours long," Ray answered.
He took the empty spot on the couch beside Max and Kenny.
'His' girl whined, "Ray! I wanted to sit too!"
"You can sit on my lap," he offered.
"Okay then," she said happily, sitting down on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and she leaned back onto his chest.
"Um....Are we missing something here?" Tyson asked, bewildered.
"Gee, how dense are you?" Kai questioned with a raised eyebrow. "Isn't it obvious that they've became a couple?"
"Oh, I knew that," Tyson said quickly. Turning to the couple, he said, "I hope that doesn't mean that I'll see you sucking each other's faces everywhere."
Zarine laughed at him, but stopped when Ray suddenly glued his lips to hers. Tyson covered his eyes, pretending to be disgusted.
"Ray!" she protested, jumping off his lap. "That was totally uncalled for." She was blushing furiously.
He smirked at her response. "Come on, where's your sense of humor? Did it go and take a holiday?"
His girlfriend just sighed heavily, "Never mind!"
Later that night, they were sitting on the bed, watching TV. Ray pulled Zarine back, so she was leaning on his chest.
He put his arms around her waist. He loved just being with her. Then a gloomily thought hit him. He was going to leave for Japan soon, and she wasn't coming. He sighed heavily.
"What's wrong?" Zarine asked, turning her head around to look at him.
"I just wish that we don't have to say good bye so soon," he told her, depressed.
"But we're not! I'm coming to Japan with you and the others!" she said, smiling brightly at him.
"I thought you were going to go home with your brother," he said.
"Well, I changed my mind," his girlfriend said.
"Great!" Ray exclaimed happily.
I know it's short, but I couldn't think of anything else! Does anyone know if we could do the star (Shift 8) or not? I can't, but I've seen it on other people's stories. If you know, please tell me!
