3… 2… 1… EXPLODE! NYAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Krrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiing!
It was Hevn's cellphone. Damn who could be calling me now? Some timing he's got! Hevn thought as she brought out her cellphone and thankfully she put it in her bag this time and not in the space between her twin mount Everests.
"Uhm, will you excuse me for a while. I've got to take this call. Ban could you entertain Crystal for me, honey? It will only be a minute." she asked Ban, giving him her best puppy-dog eyes. Ban's Jagan was no match with her puppy-eyes. She just looked so cute and adorable in that mode that any man couldn't resist. Ban was a man and of course her couldn't resist her charm. Damn! Why does he always fall for the eyes! It'll be the death of him.
Ban who was enjoying everything nodded in agreement. And with that Hevn started to dash into Paul's computer room but before she could even go 3 feet away from where she was standing Ban grabbed her arm. Hevn looked at him. She had no idea why he did that but whatever it is he must've wanted something important because he looked serious.
"Huh?" was all Hevn could say
"Honey," Ban started. "Aren't you going to give me a kiss?". Ban could see Hevn freeze like ice. She wasn't expecting for that. I got her this time he thought evilly.
"But… but… but…" Hevn could not come up with a good excuse. She was blushing right now. Crystal was looking at her she could sense it, like waiting for them to kiss. Why that no good bastard. I'll get back at him for this. Hevn quickly kissed Ban's cheek and again rushed towards the computer room. But was, again, stopped by Ban.
"That's all I get?" He asked. His eyes were twinkling. "I don't get a kiss here?" he questioned pouting his lips. This made Hevn red all over. He was asking too much from her. Sure she'd kissed a lot of guys but she never dreamed of kissing Midou Ban! What will she do now?
"H-honey, w-we're I-in public. I-I don't t-think that's a g-good idea." She reasoned out. Ban pouted. Hevn looked at Crystal.
"Don't mind me! Just go on and do your thing. I'll act as if I'm invisible." Crystal said with a smile. But deep inside she was becoming jealous of Hevn. If she wasn't acting like Ms. Goody-two shoes today she'd probably snatch that chance and kissed Ban straight on the lips, inserting her playful tongue in his mouth. She grinned at the thought. It won't be long till that daydream will come true. She had a plan. Operation: Steal the Guy.
Hevn knew that she's trapped this time. Without anymore hesitations she kissed Ban… on the LIPS! It was just supposed to be a passive one but Ban deepened it. It took a long time before they finally let go of each other's lips. By the time they let go the phone had already stopped ringing. Oh, great! All that for nothing! She thought. But the other side of her thought that it was worth it. She never knew Ban was such an expert in kissing.
Ban licked his lips. Sweet! He heard his mind say. Hevn could still feel Ban's lips on hers. She enjoyed the sensation it brought her. They looked at each other, completely forgetting that they had a guest and Paul and Ginji was there to witness the kiss.
This was torture for Crystal. She has got to figure out a way in which she would be able to do that with Ban, too, but wait! She just did! HAHAHA!. "Hey, guys! I hate to interrupt your moment but I want to tell you something." Crystal said as she forced a smile.
The two looked at her.
"Well, I was wondering… how about I take you two to our vacation house in Hawaii? Daddy has a resort there and we could stay there for a while, if you want to." She proposed.
Hevn always dreamt of having a vacation in Hawaii but she never had the chance because of work. "SURE!" she agreed, not wanting to let the opportunity slip away. Hevn's eyes were glowing as she daydreamed on what the vacation would turn out to be. There she was in the clean beaches of Hawaii, sunbathing. And at the process meeting some really hot guys and letting them put lotion over her legs and back. But the dream puffed away as a thought came into her mind. Crystal mentioned that she was taking two… that means… Ban's coming? All hopes of having a good time in Hawaii burst like a bubble. Ban would be there… and so is Crystal. There was no way she would have a good time there because of the presence of the two. She frowned at that realization. Of all the people in the world she could choose from to be her companion in her dream vacation it had to be Ban. Paul was right. She might regret this.
Ban, on the other hand, was having a dream of his own. He would be there in the beaches of Hawaii, girl-watching, and flirting with the babes. Crystal and Hevn would be there too, except that they would fight because of him all the way and he would ignore them and concentrate on the other girls. Oh, yeah! He would have a great time. But, like Hevn, a thought suddenly popped out of his brain. He was invited because Crystal thought that Hevn was his girlfriend. And in order to come along he had to pretend that he was her girlfriend. THIS SUCKS! He thought Oh, well. Might as well come along. Besides I've never been to Hawaii before.
Crystal stood there watching the two daydream. She would glance now and then at Hevn but she'd stare at Ban for a much longer time. "So?" she finally asked taking the two back to reality. Crystal smiled when she caught both of their attention.
Hevn looked at Ban. Ban gave her his usual sexy grin.
"There you have it! Count us in!" Hevn said winking at Crystal.
"We leave tomorrow then!" And with that she hugged Hevn. "We'll meet at the airport tomorrow at eight o'clock sharp." Then she dashed off.
Hevn let out a sigh of relief seeing her friend finally gone. Ban placed one arm on her shoulders, startling Hevn. He moved his head closer to Hevn's.
"See you tomorrow, honey." He whispered maniacally at her ear. Hevn froze. Ban let out a laugh and went towards the door. He stopped almost forgetting something… GINJI! He looked back at the counter and he saw Ginji sitting there looking gloomy.
"Hey Ginji!" he called out to his friend.
"Coming." Ginji said as he followed Ban out of the Cafeteria.
Ban sat on the driver's seat waiting for Ginji to take the passenger's seat. Ginji sat there with his head down. Ban noticed this.
"What's with you?" Ban asked.
"Nothing." He replied bluntly.
"C'mon Ginji! Tell me." He said to his companion, more of a command than request.
Ginji turned chibi and started to cry. "BAN! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE IN TOKYO! I WANT TO COME WITH YOU! CAN I? CAN I? CAN I? HUH? BAN? PLEASE! NATSUMI IS STILL ON HER LEAVE AND IF YOU AND HEVN-SAN WILL LEAVE TOO THEN I'D BE LEFT IN TOKYO ALONE!" he cried.
"Don't worry, there's always Paul, Kazuki, that bastard Shido, and Emishi. Then there's Madoka, Jubei, Makubex, Jackal…" At hearing Jackal's name Ginji continued to whine. He jumped into Ban's head and started pulling his hair.
"OOOOOH PLEHEAHEAHEAHEASE! LET ME COME WITH YOU! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ALONE WITH PAUL OR KAZUKI OR SHIDO ESPECIALLY JACKAL! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAN! HIS MERE NAME GIVES ME THE SHIHIHIHIVERS!" By now Ban was trying to get Ginji off his head. GOD! For someone who haven't eaten for days he sure was heavy.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Ban surrendered making Ginji sit back on the passenger's seat performing his "Fan Dance". "Let me paraphrase what I just said." Ginji looked at him in confusion.
"Let me see. You'll be staying here with Paul, Kazuki, that bastard Shido, and Emishi." He said trying to recall what he had said earlier. "Then there's Madoka, Jubei, Makubex, and KUROUDO AKABANE! How does that sound? Better?"
Ginji quickly jumped on Ban's head again pulling his hair harder this time making Ban yell in pain. "NO! YOU ONLY MADE IT WORSE! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAN! DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THAT LUNATIC ON THE LOOSE! I'M SCARED!" Ginji pleaded harder in order to convince Ban.
"GET OFF OF ME GINJI!" Ban finally got him to get off his head. "And all I thought using euphemism on such cases will help. Listen Ginji. I have to go to Hawaii so I could feed you, you little termite! You it like ten men! If I wouldn't do this you'll die with an empty stomach. Remember that I'm getting paid for pretending." He lectured him.
"Why can't I gohohohohoho? I can pretend." And with that Ginji mimicked many different characters, male or female, those that were shown on TV.
Ban only snickered seeing his friend strike some poses and act. "You really should stop watching those soap operas on TV, Ginji."
"Oh Ban! Please take me with you!" Ginji was now begging him.
"No can do." He rejected once more. "My decision is final. I promise I'll bring you home something." And with that he started the engine.
"Ban!" Ginji whined one last time before they took off.
AT HEVN'S APARTMENT
Hevn was watching a show on TV. She sat in her soft and comfy couch whit a bag of chips on hand and a can of coke on the coffee table in front of the couch. Her eyes were set on the TV but her mind drifted to somewhere else. She remembered that kiss she and Ban shared. Her mouth began to form a smile at that thought. She touched her lips with her fingers brushing them on her soft chops. Sure it wasn't her first time to kiss a guy but Ban's lips were so magical that it left her craving for more. Then that impish part of her brain conquered her mind again. Yeah sure, like I enjoyed it. But no matter how she denied it there was always that part of her that desired his captivating charms again and again.
Hevn looked at her cellphone, the one that started it all. She took it. "You know what?" she said talking to her cell phone. "If it wasn't for you I'd be home free by now." Then she browsed her phone book. She clicked and clicked on the down button until it reached a certain name: -:Bäń:-. She clicked the call button and her phone began to dial.
AT BAN AND GINJI'S APARTMENT
Ban just finished taking a shower when his cell phone rang. He was half naked with only a towel covering his manhood exposing his hot chest and abs (A/N: DROOL!). He picked up his phone and answered the call.
BAN: moshi moshi
HEVN: komban wa, Ban. This is Hevn.
BAN: what got into you that you suddenly called me?
HEVN: hope I'm not disturbing you or something
BAN: whoa! What did you do with the real Hevn? Where did she go? You must be an alien impersonating her.
HEVN: this is me you dumb ass!
BAN: oh! There she is! Haha! I was kidding.
HEVN: yeah right! Listen I called because
BAN: because you couldn't sleep and you want me to give you a good night kiss? Sure I'd be more than willing.
HEVN: you wish! Now shut your pie hole and let me talk! I called because I was thinking that maybe I should tell Crystal the truth and go with her alone.
BAN: why the sudden change of plans?
HEVN: well, there's not enough money in my account to pay you if it happens that this vacation is gonna take weeks or even months…
BAN: so you're worrying about my salary?
HEVN: yup!
BAN: don't worry bout that! Just give me 50,000 and I'll go on with my job as long as you'd like. You can even ask me to be your real boyfriend and it won't cost you.
HEVN: really? The 50,000 part not the being my real boyfriend part. I know you, Ban Midou! What are you planning to do?
BAN: Hey! Being with Crystal means free everything and free everything means free food, free comfy rooms, free anything!
HEVN: so what's the money for then?
BAN: do you have to know everything?
HEVN: YES! Now tell me so I could decide whether I give you the money or not
BAN: have you forgotten that I have to feed Ginji? Or are you playing dumb with me which I know sooner or later I'll lose to you because you're better at that?
HEVN: oh yeah! I FORGOT about Ginji. And excuse me! I may be dumb but I know that you're a hell lot dumber than I am Mr. Dodo Brain!
BAN: whatever.
HEVN: well, see you tomorrow. Don't be late okay? And pick me up so that Crystal won't get suspicious.
BAN: is that the only reason or are you taking advantage of the situation?
HEVN: what is this a quiz show? The answer is both! I have to go now. Get to sleep so you wouldn't be lat tomorrow.
BAN: yes MOM! Anything you say!
Ban clicked the "END CALL" button and lied down on his bed. He stared at the ceiling, grinning, with his hands cushioning his head. He couldn't wait for tomorrow. He had already taken his first step on Hevn. And now… It was Crystal's turn.
A/N: well? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! please? puppy eyes
