Chapter Two:
You Coming?
Greg's Grocery Store
I stared at him and he stared at me. He still had those sunglasses in his hair as the rain ran freely down him. His hair hung around his face as he stared at me with that smile of his. He wore the exact same thing he had worn as the first day I met him except his shirt was reddish-brown color. He pushed off from his car and walked over to me. He was about 4 inches taller than my 5'9". I hated tall people. Even Leon was two inches taller than I am.
"You shouldn't stand in the rain. You could get sick."
"This from a guy who's soaking?" I said raising an eyebrow. He chuckled slightly. I'm not sure if it was because he was taller or just because of the way he acted but I knew that he was older than me. I didn't like that either.
"Yes, I am rather soaked and it's getting very cold. Would you mind joining me in my car? I'll give you a lift home." He asked and I stared. 'Sound like a stalker. Better watch out or you might be his next victim,' passed through my head as I stared. I felt the water soak through my sweater jacket and thought, 'Then I'll be a victim.' I nodded and he smiled. Pressing a button on a remote in his hand the doors to his sleek blood red car slid back. He then turned to me and took my groceries smiling. I stared after him a little surprised.
He opened the trunk of his car and placed the bag in. He then started towards the driver's side of the car. "Are you coming?" he called and I shook my head and ran over to the passenger side of the car. I sat down in the leather interior of his car. The doors shut and I was strapped in automatically.
"Good day sir. Would you like me to drive or shall you be taking command?" A computerized female voice was heard throughout the car.
"I think I'll drive Minnie." He said and a steering wheel appeared in front of him. The engine was heard and the car went up straight into the air. When there was enough room he pulled out of the parking lane and into the traffic.
"I live on Avenue #452. It's the Westburna apartment building." I said and he nodded. I shivered slightly. Even in the car it was still cold.
"Minnie turn up the heat a little please? I think my friend is cold." He said and I looked at him.
"No that's alright. I'm fine."
"Its fine, Riku. It's not like I'm going to have a heat stroke before we get to your home." He said chuckling.
"You know my name?" I asked.
"I heard your friend call you that. That reminds me, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Sora." He said smiled at me and then returned to driving. He certainly was odd.
"It's nice to meet you." I said though it wasn't all that true. I mean the guy wasn't someone I hated or anything but I didn't really know enough about him to know whether I liked him or not. Only thing I really knew about him was his name and that he didn't like mustard. I looked over at him and found his sunglasses still in place on his head. It was weird that he would wear those. I mean this is New Seattle. The most sun you got was a few days in June and July otherwise it was rain and snow.
I looked over his profile. Milky clear skin over a cute nose and small ears. He had his hair pulled back behind his ears and I don't know why but as I stared I started to understand why Leon thought he had seen this guy before. He was starting to seem strangely familiar to me as well. He looked over at me and smiled again as he turned back to the car in front of us.
"Is something wrong?" He asked and I shook my head and stopped staring.
"Oh sorry. It's nothing I just kind of got lost in thought." I said.
"Well here we are." He said and pointed at my apartment building.
"Oh right." I said as he pulled up in front of it. The heavy piece of metal sat down on the ground and my seatbelt came off. "Well thanks for the ride." I said.
"No problem. You want me to help you with your groceries?"
"No thanks. I can get them." I said and he nodded.
"Well I'll see you Thursday." I nodded and closed the door. He waited long enough for the trunk to close and then I turned back to the apartment building. Opening the door I walked up the many steps towards apartment number 6D and into the kitchen where I started to put up groceries.
Westburna Apartments
Leon didn't show up until late that night. I sat in front of the TV in nothing but some sweat pants and was eating a salad. I had pulled my hair into a small little tail on the top of my head so it wasn't in my face. He came in and shut the door behind him. He sat down beside me and tried to steal a piece of leftover chicken from my salad. I pulled my plate away from him.
"Make your own damn salad if you got the munchies, you lazy shit." I said.
"What's up your butt?" He asked as he stole the remote from me course I didn't really care. I wasn't watching what was on TV anyways.
"I had to go get groceries today while you were out playing footsie with your girlfriend." I said.
"Oh my God you had to go out in the daylight. It's a tragedy." He said.
"Kind of like your face." I said and he rolled his eyes.
"What did 'Black Leather' call and cancel?"
"His name is Sora and he doesn't even know my number to make the date." I said without even thinking what my words might cause.
"Whoa you know his name?"
"Huh? Oh right. He and I bumped into each other on the way out of the grocery store and he gave me a lift home." I said.
"What was he doing at the grocery store?"
"I don't know, Leon. Buying groceries?" I asked thought it did pose a question. What was Sora doing there? It had seemed for all the world like he had been...waiting for me. I mean he was standing there outside the building just as I came out and stared right at me. I had seen inside his trunk and he had no groceries there.
It made me ponder the thought of him being some kind of stalker and just waiting for me to trust him. Just waiting to make his move. I mean I really didn't even know if 'Sora' was his real name. But his smile had been so sweet and gentle. Well appearances could be deceiving. I shook my head as these conflicting thoughts floated through my head.
"Man this guy totally has the hots for you." He said and I sighed and stood up. I walked into the kitchen and to my great annoyance Leon followed me. "I mean this guy shows up every Thursday just to see you."
"Leon he stares out the window the whole time he's there. He could be there for anyone."
"You may not notice but I see him glancing at you. He's totally checking you out. I saw him staring at your ass once." He said and I laughed.
"He's probably checking me out because he's Hannibal Lectors descendant." I said.
"Why's it so hard to believe that he's trying to get into your pants?"
"Because no one else ever has." I said and bent down to put the chicken back into the fridge. I felt Leon grab my hips and pull me close.
"If it weren't for Yuffie I'd be trying to." He said and I elbowed him in the stomach. He cried out and bent over. I walked out of the kitchen and towards the bedroom. I was just pulling down my sheets when he came in. "That was low, Riku."
"You're lucky I didn't go lower. I'm not fucking you Leon. I've always avoided having things stuck up my ass." I said and crawled into my bed. He growled at me and then slammed the bathroom door behind himself. I smirked as I turned off my lamp and rolled onto my side. 'I always love getting the better of that guy.'
The Oasis Hotel
I stared out the window. It was getting pretty late but I couldn't sleep. Insomnia kicking in. No, it wasn't. It was that white-haired little fox who's enticed me so well. He didn't even know he was doing it and you have no idea how frustrating that was turning out to be. They way he walked and I saw that small butt of his. He was lucky I hadn't grabbed him yet and ravished him right there on the diner table. Course if I did that I don't think I'd be winning his heart over anytime soon.
I sighed and walked back over to the couch. I fell down on it and then turned on my side. How the hell was I supposed to tell Riku? I mean the guy was like perfection and not to mention the fact he barely knows me. Well sort of. I turn over onto my back and start to wonder if there was something I could do to get to know Riku better. Well a dinner date usually always worked but I knew Riku wasn't the type for people...I'll invite him back here. I sighed and stood up.
Riku had been plaguing me for a small while now and that's why I showed up every Thursday. So I could see him. I had noticed his roommate out the corner of my eye staring at me. Leon was his name, I think. Leon knew I had an interest in Riku, I could see it in his face, even though he never said anything. I wondered if Leon would help me if I asked him too. Just something else to consider when winning over my white fox. Call me a stalker if you like but I had to have him. He was so beautiful and...and well Riku.
There was something about Riku's personality I loved. I mean Riku wasn't kind and he certainly wasn't sweet. He was just a New Seattle kid that hated New Seattle. He hated the blue...just like me. He was cynical and brash and very funny. Well if you think of sarcasm as humorous. And the thing I loved most about him was that Riku was mine. I was going to make sure of that. It may take awhile but Riku is mine and he always will be.
I stood up and went into the next room. Falling down onto the bed I stared at the empty half of my bed and sighed. 'You will be mine, Riku' I thought before closing my eyes and trying to go to sleep. My attempts were futile.
