Ok, I really SUCK at this don't I? I'm a million times sorry again for not updating for ages, but I've had lots of problems to deal with blah blah blah, I'm sure you just wanna read the story, so here's what happens next…
Chapter 3 - Sleepover!
"Um, Rei?" after about five minutes of silence, it was clear that Kai had no intensions of coming back to apologise, so Mariah broke the silence. "You know, Kai will probably not want you anywhere near the house-"
"So?" Rei turned to face his blushing ex. He knew where this was going and couldn't help but feel guilty.
"I was thinking that maybe you wanna stay over or something" she blushed even more.
"You mean SLEEP over?"
"Yeah…if you want"
This was bad. If Kai ever found out…but kittens don't like to sleep on the streets and Mariah was right, there was no way that Kai would let Rei back into the house, so… Is that a good enough excuse to sleepover his ex girlfriend's house? His PREGNANT ex girlfriend's house.
Rei sighed "Alright, but we tell Kai that I went to a hotel and I'm sleeping as far away from you as I can." he stated, making Mariah smile.
"Don't worry hon- um…I'll stay as far away from you as I can." There was something about the way she said it that just didn't sound right. Was she trying to get Rei to like her again? It certainly seemed that way.
Perfume, Cute SHORT dress, showing off the fact that the bra was off, shiny pink lip gloss and fake nails, which were certainly not there earlier in the day.
"Why do you dress us to go to bed?" Rei asked, curious of the reply. Rei's brain already came up with a couple of answers he was about to get like 'you never know who you might meet in your dreams' or 'what are you talking about? I always look like that.' But her answer was so far from all those spinning in his head that Rei's bottom jaw dropped with a click.
"I want to get Kai out of the picture. Bet he doesn't look like that at night and he's not here, but I am and you are and-"
"Stop! No! No, no, no, no, no! We are not doing this, what the hell were you thinking? That I'd see you in you tiny little- what is that thing anyway? And that you'd take it off and I'd remember the good times and we'd do it!" he run out of breath and was sweating like crazy, but in Mariah's eyes he was the same, cute kitten that she fell in love with so long ago.
"I was hoping that's what would happen, yes" she smirked and like magic, her little pink, whatever it is that she was wearing came off and fell on the floor beneath her. Rei blushed and covered his eyes with his hands, trying not to breath, as he knew the smell of Mariah's perfume would hypnotise him, just like her body. Still not daring to open his eyes, he heard her walking closer to him, leaning in for a kiss, the girl's ears twitched as Rei's front pocket on his jeans vibrated, sending Mariah in a state of total unexpected shock.
Relieved that a simple distraction came in at this particular moment, the kitten searched for the phone in his pocket and bit his bottom lip slightly, once realising who was calling him at this hour.
"Kai, thank god!" he panted, as the cold voice on the other end of the phone spoke his name.
"Where the hell are you? Why didn't you come home?" Kai sounded angry.
"I thought you didn't want me to come, I thought you were angry."
"Of course I was angry, but I don't want you to sleep on the street. Where are you, I'll pick you up."
"Um…I'm-" before Rei could finish, Mariah grabbed the phone out of Rei's hand and pushed him aside.
"Her Phoenix-boy, guess who this is?" she teased smiling sweetly at the helpless kitten, lying down on the floor, knowing that all is lost for him and Kai.
"Mariah" Kai growled and you could almost hear him gritting his teeth.
"We were in the middle of something, so bug off, ok?"
"You worthless BITCH! What have you done with Rei!" Kai yelled like crazy, making Mariah go deaf in one ear for a second.
"Hey! I don't like you tone. Me and Rei are-"
Rei grabbed the phone "Kai! Nothing happened, honest! Please pick me up, I'm begging you!"
There was a pause in which both Mariah and Rei awaited for Kai's reply. And then…
Beeeeeep…
"He hung up" Rei lowered his head in disbelief.
"Of course he did, he doesn't care for you like I do, he-"
"No! He does care! Well he did anyway, but you came and ruined it, why cant you just leave us alone!" tears formed in Rei's eyes, as he completely ignored the fact that Mariah was still naked.
The girl's playful smile, turned into a frown and with a sigh, she turned to walk away, covering herself with a blanket. "Don't you get it? I'll never give up. If I cant have you, no one can. No one…" she whispered and walked away, leaving Rei crying his heart out on the floor.
Rei's POV.
I see it now. It's more clear than ever. Mariah is evil, but she loves me… Kai is cold and distant, but he loves me. They make me choose between them, but who says I should? If only I stopped concentrating on who to choose and realised that - why do I even have to? Maybe neither of them are right for me. Maybe.
When I look at Max and Tyson, it makes me smile. Sure, they're a little pervy and sick, but they are so good together. I don't know what to think. I loved Mariah with all my heart, maybe our love would have been pure if I never met Kai. Maybe if Mariah never came back, me and Kai would have had something special. I know I need to think it through. I need some time to find myself.
Normal POV.
Rei walked the cold streets for hours, thinking about what happened and returned to the Blade Breakers' house. It was early morning now, about 4 or 5am and he knew that Kai would have fallen asleep by now. Slowly walking inside, Rei walked upstairs and got his things together. Carrying an old, dusty bag on his shoulders, he walked in the living room. Kai had fallen asleep on the sofa. He looked so innocent and beautiful. In his hands lay a picture that was taken last year by max and Tyson. It was a picture of him and Rei together after they've won a match in Beyblade-doubles. Rei sighed, holding back the tears and gently kissing his lover on the cheek, walked out, leaving a scrapped up piece of paper, lying lonely on the table next to Kai. A letter.
I'm going. I don't know where yet, so I cant tell you, maybe that's for the best. You are a great friend and an amazing person. I'm glad I met you and I'll never forget all the good times we had together. If things were simpler, I'd be with you right now, but they're not. I know you think I'm a coward, look at me, I'm leaving the Blade Breakers and a pregnant teenager all alone, but I'll provide for Mariah in any way that I can and no matter where I am, I'll always watch you guys battle. I know you find happiness someday and so will Mariah. And maybe I will too. Please forgive me for all the pain I have caused.
Yours forever,
Rei
p.s. I love you with all my heart and soul and if you love me too, then don't try to find me and don't wait for me, I'll never come back…
