Author's note- Hi, sorry for not updating in such a long time. I almost
forgot about this fic. Well, I notice something funny when I reread my
story. In the third chapter, I wrote Artemis called one of her collies
Beethoven. Actually it was Mozart. Anyway thanks to all those people who
reviewed my fic. Hope you enjoy this one. Any suggestions on the
progression of Johnny and Artemis romance are welcome.
Disclaimer- I do NOT own the beyblade characters. Duh!
Chapter 4
"Sorry about my friends just now. They are always like that. Always joking I mean." Explained Johnny awkwardly as he and Artemis were on their way home. Each person holding a dog leash. Mozart and Tchaikovsky obediently followed them.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not easily offended. I understand that most people do not know how to act when it comes to dealing with...people like me." Signaled Artemis. "Your friends are very interesting. Have you been friends for long?" She liked seeing the amusing conversation between Enrique and Johnny just now. She noticed both Tala and Kai's too had smirks of amusement on their faces.
"I've been cursed with them ever since we were kids. Our parents are old friends you know. Tala and Kai are cousins. Enrique the insensitive bas...jerk is a distant relative of mine." Grumbled Johnny. He instinctively tried not to use bad words in front of Artemis for her manner of speech and attitude showed that she was of gentle brought up.
"I noticed the four of you are very good friends. Oh, thanks again for helping me just now. I really appreciated it. It was very noble of you." Smiled Artemis looking at the redhead boy beside her. He blushed slightly at her compliment.
"It was nothing. Those fatheads deserved it." Muttered Johnny. 'Those bastards better not let me see them again.' He thought darkly. He was glad that he happened to be there when she was in trouble. Although he couldn't stand girls except when he played them, he had never lift a finger upon one.
Soon, they reached their respective houses. Being an English gentleman, Johnny saw to it that Artemis safely got home first. He walked her to the door and watched her unlock the door and going in. After that he turned to leave. But he changed his mind and turned back to ring the doorbell. Artemis opened the door and was surprised to see him still standing there.
"I was wondering...would you like to come over to my house for lunch sometime? I'll introduce you to my sister Jenny and you can meet my mother. They'll love to have you." Said Johnny a little uncomfortably. He felt weird at inviting a girl he had just met over to his house. He'd never done that with the other girls he dated.
Artemis just stood there silently tapping her right index against her lips. She appeared to be deep in thought. Johnny thought she was going to refuse. But then she looked at him with her violet eyes and smiled.
"Yes I'll come. When do you think is a suitable day?" She signaled. She would love to meet and make friends with another person like her. She did not have any disabled friends as she lost contact with her old friends from the disable school because of her busy schedule. She often had to travel here and there to perform in concerts and special functions.
"I'll ask my mom. But I think the day after tomorrow would be nice as it is Saturday. I'm sure Jenny will be excited to see you." Said Johnny. He was happy that she accepted his invitation. Secretly, he wanted to see her and get to know her more.
"Alright then. I have to go now. I'll come and pick you up at twelve. Goodbye" He nodded and left.
"A nice young man Miss Artemis. Where did you met him?" asked Albert appearing beside her.
"I'll tell you over dinner Albert. I'm starving. Is my aunt back yet?" asked Artemis looking for any sign of Lady Jones who will be annoyed that she was late.
"No, not yet. She called to say that she'll back much later then she expected. She told me to tell you that you must remember to take your medication on time." Reported Albert.
"Okay. Can I have my dinner now?" pleaded Artemis looking at him playfully with puppy dog eyes. She loved Albert who spoilt her rotten. He smiled and went in the kitchen. She followed him happily. The two collies followed after her behind.
