Chapter 3 - Empty my Heart

x Dee's Pov x

I'll close my eyes,

They're wide awake.

Empty my heart,

I've got to make room for this feeling.

It's so much bigger than me.

At least Bikky had something to hide behind. I just sat on the bare floor for hours. Exposed to the harsh light and the piercing noise. Eventually I crawled into Ryo's bed and buried myself in the covers. To block out the light. To hide from the noise. I tried to remember that moment. The moment my body took over and I lost all control. The moment I kissed him. In the heat of the moment; I could have sworn I felt him kiss me back... but it was probably just my imagination. The sweet taste of his soft lips left my head spinning. I wanted to devour him, to make him mine so that no-one else could claim him. But there was more. I wanted to hold him when he was sad, to hold his hand when he was scared. And to kiss him when he felt lonely. I wanted to love him. And I wanted him to love me back.

"RING, RING." My head jerked at the sudden noise.

"Damn telephone. What the hell do they want from me? Hello?"

"Dee, It's the chief here."

"Oh great."

"HEY MISTER I'M YOUR BOSS SO I WON'T STAND FOR ANY OF YOUR CRAP O.K! Your suspension ends tomorrow, and as long as you don't threaten any more employees with firearms you can come back to work."

"Whoop, dee, doop! Work!" My sarcasm apparently did not amuse the chief.

"You know what punk! I was gonna give ya a real good case but now you're on parking ticket duty!"

"Aw c'mon chief gimmie a good case! What is it?"

"Bomb squad."

"COOL!"

"NOT COOL SUNSHINE! Over ten people have been murdered by these guys this week so if you're gonna be on this case you've gotta have a serious attitude for once O.K?"

"Sure whatever."

"See you tomorrow then. 9 sharp!" And at the sound of the chief hanging up, I knew that if all else failed, I could always have my classic arguments with the chief.

Trying to understand,

Can't remember,

Can't forget.

How do I know how I feel?

Is this something I'll regret?

x Ryo's Pov x

I'd been walking for what seemed like an hour. I had nowhere else to go. I couldn't even go to Dee's apartment even though I had the key. It was still being repaired after the fire. Only Dee could have been stupid enough to leave his cigarette alight next to a bottle of leaking hairspray. It was the most idiotic thing anyone could ever do! But I couldn't help but smile. That was Dee alright. So stupid he could even make me smile when I had nothing else. At least... I thought I had nothing else. Until I met him. I couldn't help remembering that kiss. So unmediated yet so... emotional, like he'd been waiting to do it ever since... But I also couldn't help remembering how his lips made me feel... Things I hadn't felt in a very long time... Maybe never. And things I should definitely not have been feeling about Dee. Or maybe I should? I just didn't know anymore!

"Why do you make it so hard for me Dee?" But no-one was listening.

xXx

I quietly closed the front door and snuck back into my apartment. I tiptoed into my bedroom to find Dee asleep on my bed. He looked so peaceful... I'd never seen Dee peaceful before. I crept up to him and gently placed my lips on his forehead. Suddenly his eyes flew open.

"Ryo?"

"Um... Sorry Dee. I was just..." But my words were stifled my Dee's hot lips against mine once more. I couldn't breathe; I couldn't think. I could only feel. I tried to speak but the words wouldn't come. Did I want this? Did I feel this way about Dee? But I didn't have time to work out the answers as Dee's tongue slipped into my mouth. I almost moaned with pleasure. But managed to stop myself. I didn't want to give Dee any more incentive to go further than I was prepared to go... Although he was sort of doing that already. As he pulled me onto him I couldn't help but gaze into his eyes... So cold but... So warm and full of...

"Ryo."

"Um... Yes Dee."

"I love you."

"Oh."

xXx

x Carol's Pov x

Surprisingly Dee had made me feel better. He wasn't as helpful as Ryo but Ryo knew how to help people. But knowing that someone else felt the same was comforting. Knowing that I had someone to talk to for once. My friends were no help there. The most comforting thing they ever bothered to say was:

"Jeeze Carol smile a little why don't ya?" Yup. That was real comforting. I couldn't help thinking about that guy though. It was weird... I thought men had a thing for older women... I guess I was wrong. Or maybe it's just this guy. I walked around the corner, expecting to see my house but...

"What the fuck?" At least ten police cars and an ambulance were stationary outside the hole where my home once stood.
