Dreaming of you
Chapter 3:
The next morning Malik was wondering whether or not he should go to the beach. The note was nice and everything but what if Marik found out and got the wrong idea, then what would he do?
'Wait a minute...' Malik thought. 'What if this is some prank from Marik? I bet it is...'
"Marik?"
"What?"
"Did you send me that letter?"
Marik looked at him, "What letter?"
"That letter from yesterday."
Marik gave him a genuine look of confusion, "You've been sniffing coke again haven't you?"
"Uh..."
"Stay away from that stuff, it'll mess you up."
'Well, if Marik didn't put it there... then it must be legit. The only reaming question is... should I go?'
"Hello?" Marik was waving a hand at him, "Earth to Malik."
"Wha..."
"Geez, you must really be out of it." Marik walked upstairs.
Malik looked at the clock, it was a little before 11:00. 'I can still make it if I take the bus...' Their car was being fixed, due to an incident with a bulldozer. Malik decided to go just for fun.
"Marik!" He called out to the upper level, "I'm going out!"
"Be careful that Mrs. Peggy doesn't see ya!"
"Oh yeah..."
He went out of the house and to the bus stop down the street. He waited for a second then the bus came and he got on. 'Whew, good thing that crazy lady didn't show.'
He took his seat next to an old guy with a big coat, an eye patch, and funny things moving in his hair. Malik would've sat elsewhere but all the seats were filled.
The man looked at Malik, "They took it... they took it all!"
Malik shifted in his seat, "..."
"Do you want to know what they took?"
"..."
"My toes! I HAVE NO TOES!"
"..."
"Do you want to see?"
Malik's eyes widened, "No."
The man grabbed Malik's hand, "Are you sure? It's a real pretty sight..."
Malik took his hand back, "I'm sure it is! However, I prefer you don't remove your shoes."
"Shoes? Boy-o, I ain't wearin' shoes. These be frog skins..."
"Does anyone want to trade seats with me?!"
No one said anything.
"I thought so..." Malik sighed.
About ten minutes of torture later the bus arrived at the beach and Malik rushed out of the door. Once he got onto the sand he looked around. He walked out into the middle and scanned everything with his eyes, he finally saw the lifeguard tower.
'Hmm. Well, the only person over there is... JOEY?!'
Malik stood in disbelief for a moment then walked over to Joey. "Uh, hey Joey..."
He turned around. "Hey, Malik! Um, glad you came..."
"That was your letter?"
"Yes..."
"Oh." Malik scratched his head, 'Can't I go just one day where my devilish good looks don't get me into trouble?!'
"I really didn't think that you would come."
"Why not?"
"Well, I know you have Marik and he's pretty protective of you."
"Oh, so you noticed..."
"Well, everyone can see it. Even though you fight with him... he's always with you."
"Yeah well, that's how the whole yami and hikari thing works... most of the time."
"..."
"Joey, why did you really ask me to come here?"
Joey looked at him then down, "I just wanted to tell you... that I love you..."
"Joey, I...um..."
"And I have for a long time..."
"..."
Joey sighed, "It was over with Kaiba a long time ago. And I've always been jealous of Marik for having you."
Malik moved his foot back and forth in the sand. "..."
"If only for one brief moment, Malik-"
Just then a loud scream came from across the beach, "AAHH! HELP!" It was some man running from something, "HELP!"
Malik squinted and got a look at what he was running from. It was ugly, wrinkled, and butt naked. "Oh no, it's Mrs. Peggy..."
Joey looked at the old woman chasing the man, "Who?"
"Mrs. Peggy! Come on, we gotta hide!"
They both dove under the lifeguard tower and watch as she tackled the man and started ripping off his trunks. "I'VE GOTCHA NOW, BABE!"
Joey made a disgusted face, "I had no idea this was a nude beach..."
"It isn't." Malik gave the same face.
About an hour later, after Mrs. Peggy was done ravishing her prey, she then went off in search of another. Malik and Joey had already thrown- up twice and were in complete shock.
"Malik, do you know that old lady?"
"Well, kind of. Marik cast a spell on her to make her feel sexy, like a prank. But now she's a sex-crazed monster on the prowl and we can't stop her till next week. 'Cause that's when Blackmarket.com post's the reverse curse."
"I see..."
Malik got up and walked to the water's edge, "..."
Joey followed him and put his hand on his shoulder, "Malik I have to go. My dad said to be home by two."
"Okay." Malik was relieved.
Joey turned Malik to face him, "Bye." He kissed Malik gently on the lips and then let go and looked into Malik's eyes "I love you Malik."
"..." Malik starred at him.
Joey gave him one more kiss; this time he licked Malik's lips. He stopped, then he walked off to his car and left.
"..." Malik couldn't believe he let Joey kiss him like that, what would Marik think? That is... if he ever found out.
'Nothing even happened... as far as I'm concerned; it was just a good- bye kiss. Like they do in Italy... Oh, but I'm not Italian.'
Malik walked along the side of the beach. 'Well, I see no reason for Marik to find out about this. After all, it wasn't important. I hope Joey doesn't tell...'
He stopped and sighed, "Nothing happened!"
"Oh, but something did happen..."
Malik turned and saw Mrs. Peggy staring back at him. "Ah! Mrs....Mrs. Peggy! What are you doing?"
"I know exactly what happened. I saw the whole thing."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Deny it all you want, that still doesn't change the fact that I'm telling."
"No!" He ran over to her, "You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh, wouldn't I?"
"Please, don't!"
"Okay, then Malik. I won't tell if it means that much to you."
"Uh... really? Just like that?"
"Yup... just like that. Except, I have something I want you to do."
Malik swallowed hard, "What?"
"Come over to my house tomorrow around 6:00."
"In the evening?"
"Yes, you boob! In the evening. Come, and I won't tell Marik about that lip-lock."
"O...Okay."
"Good boy!" She smiled and skipped off.
Malik sighed, 'What have I gotten myself into?'
In a minute he caught the bus again and was forced to sit next to the same man. Malik tried to ignore his toeless feet but it was hard to do when he had them resting on Malik's lap.
Malik finally got home and went right to sleep without saying much to Marik. He figured if he didn't talk, then he wouldn't spill the beans. But then again, Marik was always good at getting Malik to confess.
