Chapter 2:Kidnapper in beige pants


"I don't see why you bother being friends with that idiot." Allen remarked, glaring at Van who was wiping down the counter in the diner.

"He's a nice guy and he likes all the same books that I do what harm is it that I'm friends with him."

"I don't trust him, the way he looks at you and he gets into trouble every second of the day."

"Allen." Hitomi said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Don't be

so overprotective were just friends he'd never hurt me."

"Yeah I never hurt her Allen I probably just kidnap her in the night and take her to Tahiti." Van said smirking at the look Allen gave him.

"Allen he's joking." Hitomi said.

"Yeah I know but..........."

"But what Allen 'fraid I'm gonna still your girl?"

"No because if she liked you she wouldn't be my girl."

A voice in the back of Hitomi's head popped up:

Wouldn't it be nice for Van to hold you.....kiss you.......don't you ever wonder if he's good in bed?

No I never wondered. Hitomi said blocking out the voice.

Van swung a chair backwards and took a seat leaning against the back of it, staring at Hitomi and smirking well out of the corner of his eyes he saw Allen glaring at him.

"Tomi do you have any books by Edgar Allen Poe?" he asked.

"Yup several actually why?"

"I forgot to bring my copy of his work and I want to read some."

Allen knew where this was going "Hitomi didn't you need it for an English project."

"Nope I already finished, Van if you'd like you can come by whenever."

"Okay well I gotta get back to work later babe." Van replied as he got off the chair and walked to the back room waving bye to Hitomi.

Hitomi smiled and Allen stared at her smiling face.

"I hate him."

"Why?"

Allen didn't answer here she stared at him she could see the hate in his eyes, Hitomi sighed and knew their was going to be some trouble between the two. But she couldn't stop thinking about Van those reddish-brown eyes the twinkle when he was joking, the slight Italian accent, his amazing smile and the way he made her laugh all the time but she stared at Allen and smiled he was her boyfriend for 6 months he was nice to her but was kind of boring but she loved him..................
