Lei Fang entered the hotel cafeteria and scanned the room quickly.
Mr. Lionel was seated at the front end of the table, having a discussion
with one of his associates. Hayate was telling some sort of joke to
Hayabusa because the two were laughing it up pretty loudly. Bass was
making the most of the free food as usual, filling his plates to the rim
and Jan Lee was....staring directly at her. Lei Fang felt her heart skip a
beat as she returned his gaze. Blushing slightly, she waved at him. He
smiled sheepishly and nodded at her.
"So that's what Jann Lee looks like when he smiles" Helena said from behind Lei Fang. "You know, it looks pretty cute. He should do it more often." "Yeah...," Lei Fang said with her eyes still on Jann Lee. "Hey, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of that." Tina piped in, "especially now that he's finally found himself a girlfriend, right Lei?" Lei Fang groaned and elbowed Tina. "I thought we agreed that the teasing would stop already." "Okay okay, sorry," Tina said laughing.
The girls all went and took their seats. Seeing the girls arrive, the guys also took their place on the other side of the table. Lei Fang smiled as Jann Lee chose his seat directly across from her. "Hey, now you two can play footsy," Tina said, smiling knowingly. Lei Fang shot her an annoyed glance. "Sorry." Tina waved her hands in defense. "That was the last one. I swear." "It better be." Lei Fang grunted. She was just thankful that Jann Lee had not heard the comment.
"Hey, who's that guy seated by Mr. Lionel?" Ayane asked. "He's pretty hot." All the girls took a glance to see who she was talking about. There was no doubt that he was handsome. He had the surfer boy look down to a tee, blond, shaggy hair to his shoulders and a great tan. He looked like he had just stepped out of one of those Pacsun advertisements. Lei Fang flushed and quickly diverted her gaze as he locked eyes with her.
"Ahem." Mr. Lionel cleared his throat and stood up. "Well, now that everyone's all here we might as well...yes Lei Fang?" He nodded at her noticing that she had her hand raised. "You don't need to do that here you know, just speak up"
"Ooh, sorry." Lei Fang lowered her hand and blushed. "I'm just used to it. Anyways, umm I just wanted to point out that Zach is not here yet."
Just when she said that, Zach burst through the cafeteria doors, still in his Sponge Bob PJ's. "Sorry, am I late?" "yes." Mr. Lionel said, giving him a look of disapproval. "Just take your seat please." Tina rolled her eyes at Zach as he sat down across from her.
"Very well then, now that everyone is truly here, I can make that special announcement." Mr. Lionel started again. "It seems you guys have a new competitor that just joined up with us today. His name is Seph McCloud." Mr. Lionel nodded towards the surfer guy. "Why don't you stand up and tell us a little about yourself, Seph."
Seph stood up and ruffled his hair. "Dude, I feel like I'm the new kid in school again." He chuckled sheepishly. "Ummm, okay, let's see. I'm 21 years old. I'm from California and I enjoy swimming, wakeboarding and surfing."
"What is he? A walking stereotype?" Hayate asked, snickering. Seph ignored him and continued. "Oh, and I also like romantic dinners and long walks along the beach." He gave Lei Fang a wink and sat back down.
"Okay...well, that was very interesting." Mr. Lionel commented. "Seph here is an expert in Capoeira, a unique from of martial arts originating from Brazil. He should prove to be a tough challenger for all of you."
Mr. Lionel wrapped up the meeting quickly and reminded them that the first battle of the tournament will begin within a couple of days. He then left the cafeteria and everyone began to crowd towards the buffet counter.
"Wow, everything looks so good," Kasumi exclaimed. "You got that right, I'm so hungry I can eat a horse," Tina grabbed a chicken drumleg and placed it on her plate. "but I'll just settle for chickin," she grinned. Lei Fang was just about to reach for the sushi platter when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Thinking it was Jann Lee she turned around and gave him her biggest smile.
"Oh...hi," She said, when she realized that it was the new guy, Seph. "Hey...did you think I was someone else?," he asked. "Yeah, kinda," she said. He offered her an apologetic smile. "Sorry to disappoint." "No, it's okay." Lei Fang smiled at him and extended her hand. "Hi, I'm Lei Fang."
He took her hands and shook it frivolously. "Yeah I know. I'm like your biggest fan." "Huh? I never knew I had fans," she said laughingly. "Oh yeah, you do, believe me." He chuckled. "You'll be surprised to know how many people watch these DOA tournaments. I've been following up on you on the last few tournaments. I think you're kick ass."
"Wow, you really think that?" She asked laughing. "Yeah," He grinned at her, "not to mention me and my friends think you're hot as hell." Lei Fang tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ears and blushed deeply. "Umm thanks." She looked up at him and saw him gazing intently at her, which made her blush even more.
"You're so cute when you blush," He teased. "Am not!" She raised both hands to her face. "Are to." He laughed. "Look, you're as bright as a tomato." "Hey, stop it." She punched him playfully on the arm. "You're only making it worst." "Sorry." He laughed. "So hey, I was wondering, you know, if you're not busy this afternoon if you wanted to go out for a cup of coffee or something."
"Oh.." Lei Fang looked down. She didn't know what to say. Was he asking her out on a date? She had to admit that she's attracted to him, but it just didn't feel right. "No, sorry. I don't drink coffee." "Oh that's okay..." He ruffled his hair. "well , you know coffee is'nt the only beverage in the world. What about smoothies?" She smiled and shook her head. "Tea?" "No." "Shakes?" "Nuh uh." "Okay alrite, you're an alcohol and liquor kinda girl aren't you?" She laughed. "No, of course not. Its just that...I just can't go." She finished lamely.
"Oh, I see." He kocked himself on the head. "I'm so stupid! I should've figured. You have a boyfriend already don't you?"
"Umm Well..." Do I? Lei Fang asked herself. I don't know...I don't think Jann Lee could really be considered my "boyfriend"...It's not like we're officially together or anything. At least not yet anyways...
"Well, kinda." "Kinda?" He tilted his head at her. "How do you "kinda" have a boyfriend?" "Well...its sorta complicated. I'm kinda interested in someone right now....Sorry." "Oh...I see." He gave her a lopsided smile. "I guess I just came too late." He turned to leave and looked back at her. "You tell him that he's a lucky bastard." She gave him a warm smile and turned back towards the buffet counter.
After loading up on sushi she quickly scanned the room looking for Jann Lee but he was no where in sight. Hmph, where is he? She thought. I have to tell him what a lucky bastard he is.
[Author's Note] Hey guys, sorry for the long and I mean LONG break from updating. Lol, I just kinda forgot about this fanfic, but since so many peeps left a review saying I should continue with it, it gave me the motivation I needed to start typing away again. I hope you guys like the latest chapter, even though its not much. Some of u may have drawn a connection from Seph McCloud's name to Final Fantasy VII. Well, what can I say, I'm a huge fan of Final fantasy. Lol. Anyways, look forward to the next chapter. And please REVIEW!! I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
