A/N: here it is. The new chapter. I hope everyone will like it. I'm so tired and can't be bothered to write a proper a/n. So sorry. All you that wanted to read it. And yes, a big shout out to all my readers and reviewer who are wonderful! Merry Christmas!


You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Got me lit like a candlestick
Get too hot when you touch the tip
I'm feelin' it, I gotta get a grip
And it's drivin' me crazy
Baby don't you quit
Can't get enough of it
You got me goin again
Baby, you got me goin again
You make me sick

Pink, You Make me Sick

Midnight Unusualities

I want you and I hate it

Now she was nervous. She hadn't been nervous before. Where had that come from?

Quietly, she rapped on his door. When there was no reply, she knew she had knocked to quietly. Either that or he wasn't in. She hoped the latter was the truth.

Breathing deeply, she closed her eyes, trying to turn herself into stone. She had to calm her nerves so she could get this over and done with.

So enraptured was she with her inner-peace, she didn't notice when the door in front of her creaked open.

When she thought he was sufficiently calm, she opened her eyes.

Blinking madly, she spotted the figure in front of her and started coughing.

"Kel?"

Now he sounded worried. He had no right to sound like that. He had no right to have so much caring in his voice when he was talking to her. It just… wasn't right.

"No!" she shoved away the hand he was reaching out to her, to help her. She didn't want his help!

He frowned. She didn't know why he was frowning. He had no reason to frown! Why was he frowning?

Great. Now she sounded paranoid.

"Kel?" he whispered gently, putting out his hand again to trace her jaw line lightly.

It was the lightest, featherlike of touches, yet it made tingles go all the way down her spine.

"Stop it," she muttered, pushing his hand away. "You shouldn't be acting like this."

And at least she knew that was true. He shouldn't have been acting like that. It was only by her that they would reconcile. They were both to stubborn to talk otherwise. They would both see it as giving in.

And in a way, she did see it as giving in. but in a good way. She was making the first move to apologise. Didn't that count for something?

She took a deep breath. "Can a come in?"

He nodded mutely.

Shuffling in quickly, she looked around for somewhere to sit. She noticed the bed was free. But she didn't want to sit there. She knew the implications for that!

She settled for perching on the edge of the wooden dresser in the corner of his room.

He sat on the bed.

Dom opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, she had held up a hand to halt him. She wanted to go without interruptions.

"Listen," she said flatly. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what happened that morning, and I'm sorry for the way I've treated you. It was wrong of me."

After a moment he nodded slowly. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have cheated on you. And I should have told you how I felt straight away."

He put his head into his hands. "What is happening to us? We used to be such good friends, and now we try to take out relationship to another level, and everything is falling apart."

She closed her eyes. "I know what you mean. Do you think we could go back to just being friends? Or do you think we're going to be stuck in this box between love and friendship for the rest of our lives?"

He shook his head tiredly. "I don't know, Kel. I really don't know."

A/N: sorry if that was a bit short, but I'm really tired at the moment. I'm in between writing this, and bidding for kimonos on Ebay, and putting my book on a floppy disk, and writing a summary for my book…

And trust me, it's hard.

But please review! It would make me very happy! In one day and four hours 46 minutes from now, I will be able to fully commit myself to this story! (That's when the auction for my kimono ends!)

Okay! So why are you reading this? You're wasting time that could be used for reviewing!
