Recap: He looked at me dead in the eye and said with the most serious face in the most serious voice I had ever heard someone use,
"Because I fucking love you..."
Chapter Start
I was in complete shock. I could only get out one word.
"What?"
"You heard me so don't make it seem like you didn't," he replied.
"I know, I heard you. I just don't know what to say."
"Why not?"
"Because for the past two years you've made my life miserable. You've pissed me off to no limit. You've even made me think I was completely worthless. Now you come back and say all of that was a lie. What the fuck do you expect me to say?" I was practically in tears by that point.
"Don't cry. I don't like it when you cry. And to answer your question, I actually expected you to slap me in the face."
"That's seriously what you think?"
"Yeah."
"Well, you're wrong. Dead wrong."
"Be my girlfriend," he smirked.
"Was that an order? Or a request?"
"It was a question."
I was quiet for a minute to make him think I was thinking about it. I've had my answer for two years. I threw myself at him, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Of course I will. Do you know how fucking long I've been waiting for you to say that?"
"Too long."
It turns out that Max, Tyson, Ray, and Kenny saw the whole thing.
"FINALLY!" Ray exclaimed. ALL OF MINE AND ELISA'S HARD WORK HAS PAID OFF!"
"Kissie kissie kissie," Tyson teased.
Without looking or aiming, I threw a sharp pencil at Tyson. It hit him square in the head.
"OUCH!" He yelled.
"OH YEAH! WHO'S GOT MAD NINJA SKILLS?" I laughed.
"You do aperently..." Ray announced. "But Elisa's are better."
"True.. true... Speaking of which, don't tell Elisa about this. I want to surprise her when we see her in Russia."
"Gotcha."
"Leave... NOW!" Kai ordered.
Tyson, Max, and Kenny ran away in fear. Ray just walked away calmly.
"That was kinda harsh Kai," I chuckled.
"Well, how else would you expect me to get them to leave so we could have alone time?" He questioned.
"'Alone time'? For what?"
He just smirked. "This." He grabbed the front of my shirt so he could pull me closer to him and kiss me. It was too amazing for words. But let me just say, Johnny's got NOTHING on him. When we stopped, I just smirked.
"We should have 'alone time' more often."
"Yeah, we should."
We took out the portable DVD player because we decided to watch a movie.
"How about Saw?" Kai suggested.
"Nah, I've seen it like 5 billion times," I began. "How about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?"
His eye twitched slightly. "Isn't that a Leonardo DiCaprio movie?"
"Exactly..." I smiled. I loveses Leo.
"No, he's a fag..."
"Fine... how about The Nightmare Before Christmas?"
"Sounds good to me."
I put the DVD in and sat with my head on Kai's shoulder. I tried to keep myself form singing all the songs because I knew all the words. But they're so damn catchy! I felt myself drifting off to sleep by the very end of the movie during the last song.
"My dearest friend, if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into the stars.
And sit together
Now and forever
For it is plain
As anyone can see
We're simply meant to be..."
I woke up the next morning with my head on Kai's chest and his arm around my shoulders. I bus wasn't moving so I got a little confused. We couldn't be there already. I got up without waking Kai and went to see what was going on.
"Ray, why are we stopped?"
"The bus broke down," he answered.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! So you're saying we're stuck out here... in the middle of nowhere... in the freezing cold...?"
"I think so..."
I did the only thing that I knew how to do in a situation like that... I screamed.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"
Kai walked out of the other room.
"Nicole, why the hell are you screaming?"
"We're stuck out here... the bus broke down... and I'm cold!"
"That's it? I thought someone died or something."
"Way to look on the brightside Kai..." Ray spoke.
"Yup," I grinned. "That's my boyfriend. Mr. Brightside! Just like the song! JEALOUSY TURNING SAINTS INTO THE SEE.TURNING THROUGH SICK LULLABIES! CHOKING ON YOUR-"
"Nicole, please don't sing..."
"Fine! Be that way... But everyone loves the Killers!"
"Tyson doesn't..."
I glared at Ray. "Well Tyson is a fat pig who thinks with his stomach..."
Just then... my cell phone rang:suspenseful music: As always it was Elisa.
"Hey kid."
"Heyyyyyyyyy WHAT'S UP?" She asked.
"Cold... we're in the middle of nowhere and our bus broke down."
"Shit, sucks to be you. So other than that, what's new?"
"Me and Johnny broke up," I whispered as I walked into the other room.
"Why?"
"Too long distance, we both decided that it was best."
"Sorry kid."
"Eh... it's ok."
"Oh by the way, everyone says hi."
"Everyone? Who's everyone?"
"Ari, Kyle, Kassie, Cassie, Richie, Ariel, Jess, Nicollette, Gianni, Mikhail, Angus, and your loser brother. He says he's coming to Russia now."
"Ewwwwwwwww..." I groaned. "Tell everyone I said yossss homiez. And that I miss them. And tell Kyle I haven't had a Shadows Moment since I left."
"Hey Nicole!" Tyson called. "The Majestics are here! They came to save us!"
"Yessss gotta go Elisa. My ex's team is here to save me. I'll see you tomorrow at the airport ok?"
"Gotcha," she replied. "Bye-bye."
"Bye." We hung up and I ran outside without bothering to put on a jacket. Once I saw Johnny I ran up to him and gave him a huge hug.
"I missed you," he spoke, hugging me back.
"I missed you too," I replied.
"So, have you found a replacement for me yet?"
"Is that a joke or are you serious?"
"Serious."
"Um... Kai kinda asked me out yesterday... And I kinda said yes..."
I expected him to be upset, but he wasn't. He just grinned.
"I knew the 2 of you would end up dating from the moment I saw you fight."
"Everyone tried to set us up. My best friend wouldn't rest until we were dating."
While we were talking, Robert and Tyson were battling. Robert just beat Tyson for the second time.
"If you can't beat me, then how do you expect to beat the Demolition Boys?"
I all of a sudden remembered that I was freezing... and had no coat.
"Dammit, I'm freezing..."
Kai gave me his hoodie.
"Are you sure you don't need it?" I asked.
"Yeah, I grew up in Russia, I'm used to it," he assured.
Robert decided to train our whole team. Well, our whole team except Kai. They're kinda afraid of him."
"Your timing is off, your speed is poor, and your accuracy makes me want to vomit!" He yelled.My eye stated to twitch.
"WHO DIED AND MADE YOU CAPTAIN OF MY TEAM?" I yelled.
"Robert's right Nicole," Tyson pointed out.
"I DON'T CARE IF HE'S RIGHT! HE'S GOT NO RIGHT TO BOSS ME AROUND LIKE THAT!"
"Tch, such uncouth-ness," Robert scolded.
Again with the uncouth crap...
I fixed all of the "mistakes" that Robert said I had.
"There, is that better Almighty Robert?"
"I suppose so. But no matter how much your beyblading skills improve, I will always consider you uncouth and barbaric," he answered.
My eye twitched again.
Who the fuck does this guy think he is anyway?
Just then, a car pulled up and Mr. Dickenson got out.
"Well Robert, did everything go according to plan?"
"Yes sir, I feel they're ready now," Robert answered.
"Plan?" I asked. "What PLAN?"
"This whole meeting out here was my idea," Mr D, explained. "I wanted to make sure you were ready for the tournament, so I arranged to have a surprise meeting with the Majestics. According to Robert, everything went smoothly."
"So you planned for our bus to brake down in the middle of nowhere?" I asked.
"Yeah, pretty much," Enrique agreed.
I laughed weakly. Then I put my head on Kai's shoulder and cried an insane you-people-are-trying-drive-me-insane-and-kill-me cry. Mr. D got us another bus and we drive to the airport to pick up Elisa.
Me: Chapta ova! And the "Robert Uncouth Counter" is...
Elisa: 2...
Me: 2! Ugh. fine.
Robert: This is so...
Tala: Say it, and I'll kill you...
Robert:shuts up:
Me: READ AND REVIEW LOVELIES!
Max:OH I WISH I WERE AN OSCAR MEYER WEINER!
