Never Meaning to Fall

Summary: AU Ficage part two featuring Ebony, Mega, Java, Ram, Siva, and Jay. About Lying, Manipulating, cheating, and stealing to get to the top. However, what if something else happened instead? Something like love?

Author's Notes: This is world has nothing to with the previous WAISAD however my characters lives will appear the same, their ages though are moved to adulthood, no school, college etc. It involves just equally serious issues. Oh and thanks to Marie again for de review.

PG13 for references but nothing serious.

(Later that day)

Ebony and Mega agreed to meet for dinner to discuss the Java problem.

"I knew she was after Ram, I knew it. There was just something, I knew was off. How much is she paying you?" Ebony exclaimed.

"Blackmail," Mega replied.

"She's that desperate?"

"Apparently so. My question is what else have done to Java recently to cause this?" he asked.

"Nothing really.... Except maybe let a few things slip about her to Jay which stopped their almost affair," Ebony said causally.

Mega looked at her, "And you wonder why everyone plots against you?"

"It was dirty- I admit but it worked didn't it?"

"That it did," he said dryly.

"So, what else is the she devil up to?" Ebony asked.

"Not sure. Java isn't exactly the sharing kind"

"Don't I know it?"

"What should I do?" Ebony said to herself.

Mega looked at her, "Well I could suggest..."

"How about this- I'll find some a few things the fun way, and you'll keep doing what your doing. We'll meet, she'll think it's because of the blackmail and I'll fed the information you need," Ebony said to him with a devious smile.

"It could work but one problem- Ram, don't you think he'll be a little suspicious of your sudden interest in me?" Mega replied.

"No, he knows I can't stand you," Ebony said dismissively.

"Okay then. We'll talk tomorrow say around noon?" Mega exclaimed.

Ebony nodded, "Of course, see you then," she got up and left.

Mega watched her go with a look before making sure no one else saw him.

He then grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

"She went for it," he said without so much a greeting.

"Good," the voice said.

"Meet me tonight?" he replied.

"Of course," the voice purred.

"Excellent goodbye Java"

(Later that night)

"Oh my god- that was- I've never had a better lay," the voice said standing up getting clothing off the ground.

Mega looked up, "I find that surprising," he reported dryly.

Java rolled her eyes, "That was actually a compliment"

"Could have fooled me, the surprise was evident"

"So Ebony bought the story?" Java said.

"What do you mean bought, it's the truth she doesn't know the other part of it," Mega said causally.

"Excellent now to point some subtle hints Ram's way," she said with a sly smile.

Mega rolled his eyes, "I'll let you handle that. I'll do my end. Now will you get out already before someone wonders where you were".

Java said nothing else and walked out the door.

Mega fell back on the bed- this was going to be easier than he thought. Two birds with one stone but the question was which to take down first Ebony or Java?

(A day or so later)

Mega went to meet Ebony very aware of what he had to accomplish this night. At first, it was business they exchange information on Java however Mega decided it was time to start the game.

Mega looked at her, "Now that we're done formally- it would be a shame to miss out on that dinner we planned," he said dryly.

Ebony turned sharply, "You don't date, and you're not asking me out, so why?"

"Easy, I'm an opportunist and a chance for a free food shouldn't be passed up," he replied simply as the original plan was to meet at a food festival.

"Okay fine," she replied trying not to seem sick but the idea of a night with Mega was hardly what Ebony called good.

"I feel the same way," he added as they headed down the street.

"What?"

"I dislike you just as much, don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise," he reported.

Ebony suddenly became slightly angry- she had no clue as to why that statement bothered her just that it did, maybe it was self-pride but either way she didn't like Mega's tone.

The two continued with no words passing. The entire time Ebony tried to figure out why that bothered her, while Mega was too busy plotting. He hoped this torturous night would be over already because Mega had made other plans- the sort that involved hostile business deals and set-ups.

"What are you really up to?" Ebony replied once there as they made their way through the crowds.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play me, JOSH. I know there's a second agenda here, what else are you to?" she demanded.

Mega almost smiled, he had to give it to her, she really wasn't stupid.

"Ram, I'm going to cause Ram pain- massive pain," he confessed.

"Using me?" she said skeptically.

"You among other things, don't worry though, you'll get the revenge you seek, and I shall get mine," Mega said void of any emotions.

Ebony looked at him wondering what he meant but before she could in the corner of her eye, she saw HER, Amber- with Bray. Ebony's heart turned suddenly. She remembered once upon a time when she loved that him. Now, all she wanted to be was be 1,000 kilos from there.

Ebony grabbed Mega and threw him against a wall in the corner of the festival.

"Ow, what the hell was that for?" he demanded annoyed.

"Them," she hissed standing on her toes to whisper in his ear.

Mega tried to look over but then she shoved him right back.

"Why do you keep doing that?" he said anger in his voice evident for the first time.

"I don't want to be seen- and if I am, I'm going to be seen looking like I'm having a wild date," she replied darkly moving closer against him.

"Your insane"

"No, I'm covering all bases," Ebony snapped.

Without warning Ebony grabbed him and kissed him.

Mega was trying to push her off but as Ebony felt a presence creeping up on her, she deepened her hold to the point that Mega forgot to keep pushing and started to get very deep himself.

What didn't realise though was that the guest- wasn't Amber and Bray at this point but someone else- Java.

Java smirked and took a picture but before she took anymore, she noticed in the corner of her eye a suspicious Bray heading her way.

Java ran off quickly.

Amber was found tugging Bray's arm, "Bray just leave it, if it's Ebony obviously she's busy with OTHER things, just stop"

"No, I have to know," he replied.

Bray cleared his throat suddenly Ebony dropped Mega, leaving him horrified however Mega being Mega quickly got himself together and turned around to face the pair.

"Great now openly necking people in public, you're one in a million Ebony," he said looking at her.

Ebony gave him a dark smile, "Jealous?"

"Not really now I know what you truly are. So, was he another one you were cheating on me with?" Bray asked.

Ebony smiled, "Of course, not but if you want to have another shot..."

Amber looked at her darkly, "In your dreams," Amber replied.

"Oh and you know my dreams how?" Ebony replied.

"Aren't you married?" Bray noted realising the guy she was with wasn't the Ramone Kingsley he saw in the newspapers.

"What my husband doesn't know won't hurt him," she replied with a small glint.

"You really don't change, I just wanted to say hi but obviously you're otherwise held up. Goodbye Ebony"

"Catch ya later," she replied with a small twinkle.

Mega looked at her, "That was dirty"

"Oh please you enjoyed it, and I got to put another peg of jealously in Bray," she replied with a smile.

"He didn't look that bent up about it," Mega noted ironically not refuting her statement about IT.

"He doesn't think he is, but he is. It worked, I know him," Ebony said with confidence.

"You don't repeat affairs do you?"

"Not often but sometimes I make exception and in Bray's case, a few hundred, he can't get enough of me. He's just convinced himself he wants Amber and Danni- he's quite clueless really," Ebony informed him.

Mega notable sarcasm came back out, "I knew this was going to be the end of my life. You really are so easy to work with".

Ebony glared, "Look at this way, you got lucky out of it"

"I've had enough luck this week it seems between you and Java," he snapped partially.

"Oh was she giving it to you? I'm not surprised"

"You shouldn't be, you do the exact same thing. I'm getting tired of this rag doll game. I'm not a pet for either of you, and I'm feeling like one about now," he warned.

"Just go with the flow Mega, you're still holding the strings. You're the one with the proof of Java's scheming, my affairs, and Ram's business deals. Technically speaking, you could just waste us all but I know you won't," Ebony replied.

"And why not?"

"Because then you'll have no one to fund that new company you and Wizard are building," Ebony replied.

Mega nearly chocked, "How do you know about that?"

"I just do," Ebony replied shortly.

Mega rolled his eyes, "You know my plans for Ram- my plans for Java are pretty straight forward, it's you being the added problem," he replied.

"Because of Java's blackmail? Because it won't matter soon enough," Ebony mentioned.

"No, her blackmail has become useless since this plan went into effect, it's a matter of letting her get Ram and wasting them both together that I'm waiting for. It's that I still don't know what to do with you. Even, if I left you to rot, you'd never be broken or alone and I doubt your heart would ever get crushed by Ram or someone with the likes of me. So the question is- what to do about you that's deserving?" he replied turning to her.

"You need a real bed partner don't you?" Ebony suggested.

"No offense, but I don't want you anywhere near any of vulnerable body parts. No, you'll work as a business associate just fine," he noted.

"You know how ruthless I am with business," Ebony replied.

"Yes, but I can waste you if I have a feeling your betraying me. I was serious when I offered you the chance to be business in me, I assumed you were serious when you accepted," Mega replied.

"I was."

"Just making sure, Java should be lurking around here somewhere, think we should give her some more proof?" he asked.

Ebony smirked dangerously, "That's fine but be forewarned- this game is far from over so be prepared to be that bed partner".

Mega cringed slightly but nodded nonetheless as he moved in to kiss her hoping this was worth it.

Ebony inwardly smiled her thoughts turning dangerously- the game was only beginning.

From afar, Java smirked- oh yea the game was starting- now was time to strike.

Ram, Ebony, and Mega wouldn't know what hit them.

The question was now, who really held the cards, and who was playing whom?

Something was wrong. It was too easy that Bray showed up in time to see Ebony kiss Mega. There was something wrong that Mega seemed appalled but then not a second later. There was something wrong that Java knew at that very moment Ebony would kiss Mega. Something was going on.

Everyone was suspicious of the other players but no one had a proof beyond a game of paper trails so the question become who was using who and how or with what for the matter?

And someone knew it all, from the corner of the festival he watched with a smile as the game went on- he knew the fun was yet to come and he couldn't wait till it was his turn to fit into it. He just hoped his sacrifice would be worth it for them all.

AN: I survived it! Whoo. Good news, I have some ideas for the next few parts so everything should be okay. Sorry about it, I was having trouble deciding on the direction I wanted to take it. Don't worry you'll soon find out what's really going on, and whose playing whom and who with. There'll be some secrets, lies, and unknowns going on too- just wait. Oh and let me know what you're thinking. Good bad, whatever
