AN: I am sorry about the last chapter being boring and all. Please don't
flame me! Hang in there. Remember this is my first fanfic!
Chapter 3: Finally Together & Making Bets
After the speeches and dinner everyone went their separate ways to talk to the other ninja students in attendance. Blake and Hunter were talking with Sensei Amano, Leann and Cam at the table. Blake kept searching the room for Tori. His eyes finally landed on her. She seem to be talking with a tall guy with brown hair. "I wonder who he is?" Blake said to himself or so he thought.
"If you want to know, go ask her bro!" Hunter whispered to his brother. Blake then excused himself from the table and went to talk to Tori.
Tori was talking with Kyle, a fellow water ninja when she felt someone tap her shoulder. "Excuse me a moment Kyle." Tori said to the man in front of her. "Hey Blake!"
"Hey Tor, I didn't mean to interrupt you two." He said as he attempted to hide his jealousy by plastering a smile on his face.
"Oh no, you weren't interrupting. This is Kyle, he is a student at the Wind Ninja Academy. He is learning to harness the power of water." She said as she introduces the two. Kyle, I would like you to meet Blake, Navy Thunder Ranger."
"Nice to meet you. Tori was just telling me a lot about you." Kyle said as he shook Blake's hand.
"All good stuff I hope," Blake responded as his face flushed red from the thought of Tori talking on and on about him.
"Well, if you two would excuse me, I need to go speak with Sensei Watanbe. Have a good evening you two," and with that Kyle walked away.
The two then just stood there in silence for a while. "So, are you having fun tonight?" Tori asked to break the ice.
"Yeah, I am, but I would be having more fun if I could get rid of this tie. This thing is choking me." Blake said as he pulled on the object of their conversation.
"I know what you mean. I want to get out of this dress. I had fun showing you all that I can be girlie sometimes, but I want to be back in some normal clothing." She responded as she smoothed an invisible wrinkle on her dress.
"Want to go for a walk or something?" Blake finally asked.
"Sure, let's get out of here. Just let me give Shane my keys just in case anyone else wants to leave later." Tori then took Blake's offered arm and the two found Shane, gave him the keys to the van and left the dinner party.
Blake and Tori walked to the track since it was closer than the beach. "I know this is not as romantic as the beach, but it sure is a lot closer." Blake said a little nervously. He was scared that she would hate being there.
"No, I don't mind. I just wish that I didn't have this stupid dress on." She said in disgust.
"Well, there's always this," Blake said as he tore off his suit only to be left in, none other than his ninja uniform. (AN: I bet you guys thought I was going to say his boxers! Just use your imagination!)
"Yeah, I knew this would come in handy," she said as she tore off her dress and was now in her ninja uniform as well. "So, you and Hunter leave tomorrow for a few days huh?"
"Yep, we are going to help out Sensei Amano settle things at the academy. It's been so long since I was last there. I guess it's not really our home anymore." He said as he sat down in the grass right next to where he, Hunter and Dustin use to spend their time racing. He motioned for Tori to do the same.
As she sat next to him she asked, "So, where is home then?"
"It's wherever my heart is, um I mean here, with you guys. Boy, was that a dorky thing to say."
"No, it's not! So, where does your heart belong?" Tori asked. She knew how he felt, but was still scared of his answer.
"It's not where really, it's with whom and that person is, that person is, you." Whispered Blake barely audible enough for Tori to hear him, but she did anyway. She felt a big smile spread across her face. 'Oh my gosh! I think my heart skipped a beat!', she thought to herself. "Tor, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, fire away." She replied as she turned her head to look him straight in the eye.
"Tor, I know I am leaving for Factory Blue in a week, but I have to ask you this or I will kick myself for not saying this, " Blake let out sigh before he continued. 'Its now or never man', he thought to himself. "Tor, would you like to be my girlfriend? I don't know how you would feel about a long distant relationship, but would you please think about it?"
Tori looked at him in disbelief. 'Did he just ask me to be his girlfriend? Wow, a long distance relationship huh? I am so in love with him, it's better than nothing.' She thought to herself. "Yes, Blake I would love to be your girlfriend! As far as the long distance relationship, I know we can do it, if we want this bad enough." She said to him as she gazed into chocolate brown eyes.
"Great! I know we can make this work Tor. I will call, email, send you letters and come home as often as I possibly can." He was so elated that she had said, "Yes". The two sat in silence again just staring at each other. The two of them kept inching closer and closer to each other until their lips finally met in a soul-searing kiss.
They finally parted when the need for oxygen just became too much for them. "Wow!" Tori breathlessly exclaimed.
"Yeah, wow is how I would describe it." Blake said with a slight chuckle. "I wish this place was open at night I would show you a thing or two about riding."
"You, show me a thing or two? Okay Factory Blue Boy, I don't think so. You may be going pro, but I can handle myself just fine on a dirt bike thank you!" She replied with a light shove.
"Oh, is that so, Miss Tough Girl! Do you remember when Dustin let you borrow his bike and the fender ended up facing backwards? Or the time when you and Shane tried to ride mine and Hunter's bikes?"
"Okay, so, I had a few mishaps. I can still ride!" Tori said with huff as she turned away from him and crossed her arms over her chest.
"The day you can ride a 250 without breaking something or hurting someone, I'll take up surfing religiously!" He said as he started rolling around from his uncontrollable laughter.
"Is that so, huh! I am glad you find it so funny. I bet that by the time you come back for your first break that I will be able to ride a 250. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to perform a few tricks for you too. Hmmm?"
"No way, man! My first break may not be until six months from now, but hey, I'm game. You're on! What do I get if I win though?"
"I will ride around the track in a dress, in front of everyone on that little dirt bike that Cam used when he wanted to learn." She said a little too excitedly.
"Alrighty then, we'll just have to wait and see then huh?"
"So, I say we seal this deal with a kiss. What do you think?" She teased.
"You don't have to ask me twice!" The two then met for another heated kiss.
AN: So, was this chapter better? I hope so. Please don't forget to review! Thanks!
