"Why Red?"

"What?"

"Well you kept going on about the colour so, why red?" Mega said.

"It's sexy, it says I'm woman you want. It screams powerful and good looking," Ebony answered.

Mega rolled his eyes and turned back to his food.

"Why Black?"

"Excuse me?"

"Black, what's so appealing that I've never seen you in any real colour before?" Ebony shot back.

"It's dark, mysterious, classic," Mega answered blandly.

Ebony rolled hers in return, "And what are you, a poet?"

"And what are you, a whore?"

"Wow, you must have been a real ladies man growing up," Ebony said sarcastically.

"How could you tell?" he replied deadpan.

"You have no idea how to speak to woman"

"You have no idea how just to talk and screw every man you come contact with," Mega informed her.

"Is that so, haven't slept with yet have I?" Ebony challenged.

"No, but you've done Ram, Jay, Wizard, MY BROTHER, and god knows who else," he countered.

"You still remember that fling I had with your brother?" said Ebony surprised.

"Not exactly forgettable"

The silence repeated itself- like it had earlier until Ebony decided to see what other buttons she could push.

"Why be a computer nerd, isn't there something else you could have done?" she asked.

"Like what?"

"I don't know, you tell me"

Mega sighed, "I had a thing for drawing, it wasn't much but my art teachers liked it enough before I quit school," he stated.

"You weren't very popular in school were you?' Ebony said with a smirk.

Mega glared, "Not exactly rocket science now is it, and if we're going to back and forth kindly answer what you have done had not been a rich snob?"

Ebony shot a look but shrugged it off and continued, "A singer, I like signing but I never had to do anything with it because of the oh so wonderful world I live in," she said somewhat sarcastically.

"It was compared to mine, don't go acting like it was all hard"

"Oh the life wasn't but the people in it... totally different story," Ebony exclaimed.

"If Ram only knew..."

"Much more than Ram mind you, I don't exactly like Java, incase you couldn't tell"

"No, I couldn't," he said rolling his eyes.

"Smart ass"

"Never said I wasn't"

"So do actually have a personality?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Mega asked his left eyebrow rising.

"You know what that means, even when you're angry, you never show it, I just happen to pick up a small vibes from it"

"I was raised to avoid emotions in public, it shows weakness, and lack of dignity"

"Is that an excuse?"

"No, is being a witch yours?"

Ebony coughed quickly before staring, "Are you trying to imply something?"

"Imply no, state- absolutely"

Ebony's teeth clenched together tightly, "No, I was taught to do what's best for you and your kin. Nothing else matters in this world. My mum was avid believer in rich, power, and looks before anything. Love, honesty, and respect... all second nature to a person, feelings that should be ignored. It's about survival of the fittest, bravest, loudest, dirtiest, and sexiest. There's no room in this world for that aren't selfish pricks," she said evenly.

"Unfortunately, I'd be inclined to say you're correct".

"I thought so, I'm your doing well for yourself and you aren't exactly Mr. Personality now are you?" she with a sneer.

"Observation expert are we?"

"Very, you're one sided, and obvious," Ebony replied.

"You aren't any better"

"Oh honey, that's what you think- I'm hardly that predictable"

"Hmm and that's why everyone but Ram knows how you feel, and what your really doing to Jay"

"Don't give me any lectures, we all know what you're doing behind Ram's back, and I don't even work there," Ebony countered.

"You know for someone so smart, he's easy, almost a little too easy to pull the wool over," Mega said.

"It's not that, he's a little trusting of certain people, and not enough of others. He picks the wrong battles, and pay attentions to the wrong details. Eventually, he'll figure us all out," Ebony said truthfully.

"And that doesn't scare you?"

Ebony shrugged, "No, by that time, I'll be divorced with a ton of money, and half the property in my name. I'll be just fine," she stated.

"What makes you think, it will matter if he catches me then?" Mega challenged.

"Easy, you'll need another job- eventually and no one will hire you with a history that strong"

"I could make my own company"

"But who would fund it, half the world is in Ram's pocket already"

"I have some connections- besides who said Ram will ever find out?"

"There has to be paper trails"

"Those are taken care of"

"By?"

"Why would ever be so stupid as to tell you that?"

"Why not, I'm exactly Ram's friend either"

"No, but you're his wife, close enough on my list"

Ebony smirked. He really wasn't as dumb as she thought he was. She almost found herself enjoying this little game of cat and mouse, insult and injury. Almost being the operative word. They were both playing the same game and hey the pay off was looking mighty good right about now.

Mega looked at her, she was underestimating him- oh would she been in for it, sooner rather than later. However, he had give to credit- she knew the buttons to push. She was going to make this harder than he anticipated. Much harder. Not that it mattered, she was going to loose- Mega wasn't about to let some short red loving witch beat him- oh no he wasn't.

"You know, I know you've been warning Jay," she said randomly a few minutes later.

"And that matters why?"

"You know why that matters, why do you bother interfering in business not your own?" she demanded.

"We were friends when we were little, I owe him at least enough to warn him. If he's that stupid, he deserves it though," Mega answered dully.

"You're not friends with him anymore are you?"

"No, I think he thinks I am though. He fails to understand. Mega doesn't have friends"

"But Josh did"

"For about thirty seconds," he said dryly.

"Then, I get why you bother warning him especially since he doesn't want to believe you anyway?" she asked.

"Call it common curtsey," Mega said after a minute with a dark smirk present.

"You don't have any," Ebony stated amused slightly.

"True, but he doesn't know that"

"How about the real reason," she said with her arms crossed.

"Then, call it for what it really is then, me covering my back so when he does find out that you're playing him. That he won't go up to me, and demand to know why I didn't warn him. Because, I'm piss poor actor and could never pull of shock of you playing him," Mega stated.

"That makes sense"

"Don't I know it?" he reported.

"One could hope. Congratulations, we survived the night," she reported noting they were both finally finished.

Mega looked down and he realised the bill was their table already paid- by Ram via phone credit card- figures. With it attached a note for Ebony- Mega rolled his eyes, and he noted the waiter had put something on his plate as well- he looked at it- a bonus check- for taking Ebony. That was a Ram move if he ever saw it- not that Mega cared, a bonus was a bonus simple as that... even if it meant his suffering for two hours or so with the devil.

Besides, it did kill two birds with one stone anyway- it would cause her interest, and get her closer to his and Java's goal. Somehow, Mega knew, Java had put a hand in making this all possible. Hell knowing her, she probably cooked this entire thing up herself.

Mega smirked looked and looked up back to normal bland appearance, "Thank god, hopefully this never happens again"

"You said it"

"Need a ride home or you have a limo waiting?" he said dryly.

"Believe it or not, I can drive"

"Could have fooled me"

Ebony shoved off a final dark look before heading towards her car, "Oh and by the way, enjoy you're bonus check," she said sarcastically jumping in her expensive ride.

"Oh I will, I will," he answered only loud enough to hear himself.

Mega rolled his eyes, she had put a fight for longer than he had expected- but some part of him almost enjoyed the course this night had taken- almost. He would required a heart first- which was conveniently missing, then again so was Ebony's.

(Later that night)

"So how did dinner go?" Ram asked when he saw Ebony walking in throwing down her purse.

"He's annoying"

"You always say that"

"It's true"

Ram sighed, "I'm sorry I was detained"

"By Java right?" Ebony said.

"How'd you know?" he said curiously.

"Oh please, she follows you around like a lapdog," Ebony stated.

"What are you trying to say?" Ram asked.

"That she couldn't fall for you any harder," Ebony replied rolling her eyes that she even had to spell it out for him.

"That's not true," he insisted.

"Yes, it is. Babe, she'd screw you the minute you let her"

"She doesn't show a bit of interest"

"Of course not, this is Java we're talking about. The only feelings she has in public are ones of anger and extreme hate. Her personality is about as obvious as Mega's," Ebony reported.

"Oh, and yours is anymore obvious?" Ram said.

"Of course, you know when I'm needy or when I'm about cause trouble, don't you?" Ebony countered.

"That's true, but still- you're wrong- Java's my partner and best ally, nothing more"

"Ram, who are trying to convince me or yourself?" Ebony pointed out.

"That's a good question," he said slowly.

"Well, that one can wait for later, I've had a long night and need some sleep"

"Need the company?"

"Not really, I'll be fine on my own thanks," Ebony said trying to remain sweet.

"Well you know where to find if you were to change your mind," he said with glint.

"Of course," she said with a sly smile.

She then walked out of the room, went to her private room and slammed the door- she rolled her eyes- sometimes she just wanted to gag in front of him, and see how well he took it. Probably not very well, but that didn't exactly bother her any either. In fact, she couldn't wait until the day she could show her real feelings on Ram to his face- that would be the greatest day of her life- but until then, she was stuck- stuck with him, and being a good little wife- whatever that meant. She smirked, poor dumb fool.

(About the same time)

Mega had just stepped in, and went to clean the mess of his house, when he heard the phone ring- he looked it for a minute deciding to get it or not. Very few people dared call Mega, and few that did, often regretted it. Anyone in the right mind would dare call him at that hour on a Friday night- must have been out of their collective minds.

"Hello?" he said darkly trying to keep the anger out his voice.

"So how did the date go?" a voice said into the phone.

"Java, how in hell did you get this number?" he demanded.

"Company phone listing. So, care to give me details," she said sweetly but in a commanding tone.

"You're sister is more complicated than I anticipated," he said finally.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Java said angrily.

"What it means is, she's going to be trouble, bottom line," Mega said trying to keep his anger in check.

He hated Ebony, but she was the lesser evil of two sisters as far he was concerned or at least as of now she was.

"This won't be a problem, though will it?" she exclaimed.

"No, it won't," he replied with teeth clenched.

"Good, Talk to you Monday then?"

"Can hardly wait," he replied sarcastically.

Java was about to hang up without a response when she heard him say one more thing.

"But you ever call his house again- I'll destroy you right along with her"

Java eyes flashed dangerously despite them being on the phone, she knew, he probably envision the look, "You won't stand a chance if you even try it," she said darkly.

"Care to test me on that? Because, if you have any secrets, I'll find them out- I'll find them out for sure." He said slamming the phone on her.

Java growled once the phone was dead, Mega was already shaping out to be a danger, but she knew how to keep him line, and if she needed to drop him a reminder of what she held over him, she'd do so, as soon as possible.
