Anti Cosmo and Anti Wanda were still sitting on Anti Wanda's bed.
Anti Cosmo was a bit confused (WHY THE HELL DID HE WANTED TO GO ON A HOLIDAY WITH HIS STUPID WIFE! WHY!), and Anti Wanda was perplexed (he DOES like me! He DOES! YAY ME!)
…wait a minute. Anti Cosmo would NEVER want her to go on a vacation with him. Even if he indeed was as rich as Bill Gates. Even when the world was going to explode. He probably was just joking. The bellyache came back, and she groaned a bit. Mean joke…
But instead of weeping, she suddenly giggled, and poked her husband teasingly. '…aw, yer just kiddin', right! Ya silly! I almost fell for it!...'
Anti Cosmo turned at her, and frowned. '…fell for what? I mean it!...I do want you to join me on a holiday!... hey, why are you looking so sad?'
Anti Wanda's grin disappeared, and she sighted. '…now…I just can't believe it!...why do ya wanna go on vacation with me, so…suddenly?'
'…well…' Anti Cosmo scratched the back of his head. Good question!... definitely for someone whose called Anti Wanda. And twit. '…I think…it's time to know my wife a bit better. You always seem to be so dimwitted and…stupid, I don't think I've ever seen the… better sides of my partner yet. Know what I mean?...' Anti Cosmo carefully explained.
'…who is yer partner then?' Anti Wanda asked, lolling her head to one side a bit. Was there ANOTHER woman in Anti Cosmo's life? Whew! He's popular! He had a wife, a mistress, and a partner too? Maybe he has even got six daughters and a son in another country! Perhaps Austria.
Anti Cosmo laughed. He actually surprised himself with it, but he laughed. 'Who my partner is? Well, that's you, Anti Wanda!'
'…I am?' Anti Wanda frowned, looking puzzled.
Anti Cosmo sighted. '…well, since we both have a small golden ring on our ring finger of our right hand, I guess we're married. So that means you're my wife –AND my partner. Got it?'
'Oh!' Anti Wanda cheered up a bit, '…okay then! If ya wanna know me better, go ahead! It sounds like fun! Dun't ya think it sounds like fun, hon?'
'Yes, it does sounds like fun, Anti Wanda. Then we're ready to go on holiday, tomorrow! What a coincidence it's Thursday, hm? Now we have three days of loafing around.' Anti Cosmo smiled friendly at Anti Wanda, '…do you have any suggestions? You know…shall we go to an island, or a country, or even Jupiter…'
'…I wanna go to Hawaii!' Anti Wanda said, clapping her hands enthusiastically, jumping up and down, '…they always go to Hawaii in cartoons, y'know! So let's go to that nice island!'
'Right, if you like it so much, you and I will go to Hawaii tomorrow. We'll go by plane, since our magic isn't grand enough (and not allowed either) to poof us right on the island itself.' Anti Cosmo chuckled a bit, and gave his wife another kiss on her forehead. Less hesitating, this time.
'…but for now, good-night…And if there's anything wrong and you might think you need me, just give me a shout. Even when I'm…"busy" again with Anti Foxy. It doesn't matter, just come and tell me what's wrong. Okay?...'
Anti Wanda nodded slowly, looking at Anti Cosmo. '…can't ya be more often so friendly to me?...it really is nice, y'know! Like ya care about me, or somethin'! And if yer nice and sweet to me, I feel bugs in my stomach!... Very pleasant bugs!...like…lady birds and butterflies and…thingies…'
Anti Wanda giggled bashful, looking down at her sheets and fumbling on her shirt. Anti Cosmo was quiet for a moment.
…that's true; she has been in love with him for 9.995 years! In spite of all of his missteps, she still was deeply in love with him. He could hardly believe it… Was she nuts or what! …oh wait…yeah, she actually was!...
…but in a cute way.
'Hey, wanna feel my belly?' Anti Wanda pulled up her shirt a bit, '…then ya can feel the funny buggies!'
Anti Cosmo felt he was blushing. '…well…I…no, Anti Wanda…but thanks for asking me…'
He rose from her bed, and stared at his wife for a moment. She was looking straight into his eyes, and her pink eyes sparkled significant. Such a meaningful look she was giving him… Her feelings for him were as clear as crystal!
'…I think I should be going.' Anti Cosmo finally stammered, already turning around.
But before he could get away, Anti Wanda called him: '…oh, Anti Cozzie?...' He froze, turned around again, and looked at her, smiling nervously. '..yes?'
Anti Wanda blushed terribly right now, he could tell by her red cheeks. She took a deep breath: 'I… I think…I think I…'
'…take your time. I don't want you to get hurt by thinking too much.' Anti Cosmo muttered impatiently. Oh, that sounded mean!
But Anti Wanda didn't pay attention to it. She was still quivering and blushing and stuttering, but didn't manage to speak a word!
Anti Cosmo groaned, irritated. Alright, he had enough! He flew further, planning to leave her room as quick as possible. Ah, there was the door already. He sniffed:
'…listen, just try to think of it tomorr…'
'I love ya.' Anti Wanda suddenly mumbled. She said it softly, but loud enough to hear it.
Anti Cosmo's eyes grew big. He looked at her, bewildered. '…w…what…did you say…?'
Anti Wanda was gasping a bit, and seemed to be shocked to have admitted the way she felt. But she was serious. Seriously serious. She didn't giggle or chuckle…she just gazed at him, shivering.
'…I really, really love ya, Anti Cozzie…'
She hopefully watched him, begging him with her big, pretty eyes to give her a respond back, like "I love you too", or just a warm smile. But…
He didn't answer her. He…felt he was breathing in and out heavily, and without saying anything, he fled out of Anti Wanda's room. Over the landing, bouncing over the stairs, almost racing to get away from Anti Wanda and that terrible hidden feeling what began to come out again…
His whole face was as red as a beetroot when he finally entered the living room again, and his heart pounded painfully in his chest. As if it tried to come out of it!... And man, he was tired!...
'…okay mister, that took you really long this time! LONGER than the first time! Explain yourself!' Anti Foxy greeted him huffy, drying her just-painted nails because she was bored and had decided to paint her nails.
'(Pant, pant, pant)' Anti Cosmo wheezed as answer on his mistress' question, trying to recover his breath.
'…CONFESS! What's the reason you're wheezing so much?... tell me, did you and miss Tooth…make out a bit, HM? Just to make her feel comfortable, HM? To wish her a good night, HM?' Anti Foxy snarled immediately, watching his moves carefully.
Anti Cosmo poofed a new monocle out of nowhere, since Anti Wanda had taken his own, and sat down next to Anti Foxy without opening his yap. He just flopped down next to her. In silence. Anti Foxy was totally confused right now… what the hell was wrong with him!...
'…oh, nothing special happened, love.' Anti Cosmo suddenly friendly said, '…she surprised me a bit, that's all.'
Anti Foxy wanted to ask further, but decided to forget the whole business. He would never get close with Anti Wanda. Yeah, she was pretty sure of that! WHY would he get close with HER! And besides, Anti Foxy wanted to be sweet and nice to Anti Cosmo, and not a snarling bitch. So she looked at him friendly, and shove closer to him.
But Anti Cosmo drew back, not looking at her at all. Like he was avoiding his mistress on purpose… '…no no, not yet…Anti Wanda can hear us!' he stammered, when Anti Foxy wanted to kiss him again.
She sniffed. '…so? A minute or ten ago, you absolutely didn't mind that! Come here, baby!...' She chuckled, pulling him against her body demandingly.
He shook his head quickly, and pushed her away. '…no sweetie, I said no. I…don't want to, Anti Foxy. I've got a really huge headache right now… oof, feels like my head is going to explode!...'
It wasn't a lie. He truly had a terrible pain in his head…he was so completely perplexed about the announcement Anti Wanda had made…
Unfortunately, Anti Foxy didn't believe him. She didn't believe him at all, to be honest. She glared at him with a hurt look in her eyes. '…you never have a headache!...tell me, why…are you acting so weird!...'
Anti Cosmo started to act like a goldfish again: mouth opened, shut, opened, and shut. At last. '…listen…' he finally muttered, sighting, '…I've discovered… Anti Wanda loves me…'
Like Anti Foxy cared about that. 'Like I care about that!' she indeed shrieked, '…she just wants you to stay with her! People say odd things when they want somebody to stay, like…um…I love you! She just wants you to feel sorry for her!'
'…I don't think so. I know Anti Wanda. She isn't good at taking revenge… she meant what she told me. I…I could read it in her eyes, Anti Foxy!' Anti Cosmo was in panic, and bit his nails furiously.
Ouch. Anti Foxy felt a sharp pain in her heart. She started gasping a bit and became as white as a sheet.'…what do you want to say with that?...'
'I don't know… I'm so confused!... She…she…I never knew she felt that way about me before…it makes me feel so queer…'
'…so I guess you love her too.'
. '…will you just…be quiet?' Anti Cosmo frowned, looking annoyed, 'I'm not saying I might…possibly…love her, I'm just saying…I should spend more time with her. More often. Not only to complain and nag and snarl…but…you know…to be that fellow Anti Wanda wanted me to be…a husband!...'
Ouch again. Anti Foxy's heart skipped a beat. She stared at him in terror. '…more…more time? Spend more time with her?...'
He smiled. '…I'm glad your ears are still working perfectly. I know Anti Wanda seems to be stupid, weird and revolting… but she also is very sweet, kind and funny!...you…you know, she can even look quite…beautiful!...'
Anti Cosmo's mistress felt horrible. She wanted to…make him shut his trap, now she heard him talk so…friendly about his wife… '…so…what do you want to tell me?...' she sobbed softly, slowly turning her head away.
Anti Cosmo noticed her sadness…but he also had seen Anti Wanda's sadness. And he wanted to comfort Anti Wanda rather than his mean mistress, who wanted him to ditch this… innocent, weak point of him. And he wouldn't. Oh no, he wouldn't…
'…okay, I won't deny it…' Anti Cosmo took a deep breath, '…I think I might…have some feelings towards Anti Wanda. And I've felt them before. I already felt them on our marriage, and I feel them everyday when I manage to have a nice conversation with Anti Wanda. Even with laughter, sometimes! I want to know how I really feel about her. I want to know…if she's indeed…the one for me…'
He stopped, and watched Anti Foxy's face which was getting a painfully, concerning white color now. She quivered over her whole body, and she was close to tears.
'…so that's why we're going on a short holiday to Hawaii, tomorrow.' Anti Cosmo said, sounding already a bit happy and curious.
Anti Foxy rubbed over her arm, thinking fast. Okay, Anti Foxy. Don't let your guard down. Don't make a fool out of yourself. He's just a bit…away, right now. You and he WERE caught out by his wife, after all…he's just feeling sorry for her. That's right. Just play the game with him, girl…
'…okay, okay, she can join us with that vacation, are you happy now?' She tried to smile and sound brightly, and looked hopefully at her boyfriend, '…but please don't tell me she's going to be with us for the rest of the weekend…'
Anti Cosmo stared at her with his green eyes for a whole minute. '…she isn't going to be with us for the rest of the weekend, love…She's going to be with me for the rest of the weekend. I'm sorry to say it, but you aren't coming with us. It's going to be just my wife and me. The mistress stays at home. Her own home.'
Anti Foxy couldn't believe her ears. Her biggest concurrent… was Anti Wanda. A really odd person who wasn't a very pretty person. Not a totally beauty queen from Italy or Russia or even England, but a weirdo with a Southern-voice which was playing with crayons whole day long.
Gosh…She always thought it was hard for Anti Cosmo to stay with her: there were a lot of fish in the sea, of course, and she had always feared to lose him to… well, perhaps he would find Anti Inez, her best friend, quite attractive with her pale-blue eyes…or maybe Anti Opera, who lived next door and had giant boobs…
How ironic. She had expected ANYBODY to take Anti Cosmo's love away from her…but NOT his very own wife. Anti Foxy looked to the floor. It seemed like Anti Wanda had won this war…
Anti Foxy gritted her teeth, and didn't hear Anti Cosmo's (still talking) voice anymore. NO WAY! Oh no, that little minx hadn't won yet… This wasn't over…
This war had just begun.
A/n:…whoa. Now THAT's a crappy cliffhanger! Heheh, sorry for that! See you next time!
