Here is Chapter 3, Enjoy!
Chapter 3
"Any idea of where you want to eat?" asked Gary to Misty
They were in his red compatible heading to some restaurant. The wind was making Misty's hair fly and Gary discreetly admired her beauty... for the millionth time today.
"Earth calling Misty, are you still here?"
"Oh, sorry I was just…"
"Thinking about Ash" completed Gary
"Yeah…What! I wasn't thinking about him, I mean not only him or… argh! Shut up and drive"
Gary smirked at his results. He hadn't meant to piss her off but her reactions were…enjoyable.
"Anyway I don't get why a girl like Misty loses her time thinking about a loser like him" he thought, probably jealous
"Since you don't seem to have made a choice, we're eating at a fast food, sorry"
"So what? Don't think I'm one of those cheerleaders of yours who're deadly afraid to win a pound"
"I won't, don't worry"
"You better"
"I saw a fast food when I entered the city. I'm going there it'll take awhile"
"We have all afternoon, I guess"
Misty looked around her and was intrigued by an old blue Cadillac.
"What are you staring at?"
"Nothing, just this blue car over there. It seems to me that it is following us"
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm sure people have better things to do than to follow us" commented Gary still focusing on the road "Maybe it's a different car" he added
"That must be it" gave up Misty
"What are you going to order" said Gary when they arrived at the restaurant and got a table for two. The place wasn't really crowded and hopefully for them no one noticed them. Guess it wasn't a loaded afternoon because they were only about two elder couples, an adult one, some teenagers and two men talking. They could hear them because they were right behind them. They were talking about sports and news, something like that.
"I think I'll just take a hamburger and a drink."
"No fries?"
"No"
"Fine, be right back"
"I wonder why I agree to go on a date with Gary" thought Misty when Gary left "Wait, we're not even on a date, I just needed to forget him…for a moment" she sighed "Hey I can still see a blue Cadillac is it the same one as…" she was cut off in her thoughts by Gary who had came back with their orders.
"It wasn't too long, there were nobody in line" he put their meals on the table and sat in front of her. He reached for a straw. A light flashed and went unnoticed by Gary who sat back.
"What's wrong Misty?" he asked her
"I could have sworn that I just saw a flash"
"A flash?"
"Yeah!"
"I don't know, I didn't see anything. Maybe someone was taking a photo"
"You're probably right, anyway what could a photo do to me" she laughed
"I was wondering…"
"Yes?"
"You don't seem too happy"
"What do you mean?" Misty frowned
"I don't get it, you're becoming famous and popular, beautiful too; every guy in this city longed to be with you, and I'm sure that with your talent you'll be more famous and all Kanto boys will take you for some kind of sex symbol" he teased, grinning
"Get to the point" she commanded him
"Well, I remember last seeing you, at the time where I was trying to get the earth badge, you were with Ash and you seemed a lot happier than now"
"So you are supposing that I miss Ash and am sad about it"
"Kinda"
"Well I'm supposing that you are a complete jerk not minding his own business"
"I guess that's just a supposition, but in the all day the only time I saw you smile was during your show"
"Yeah, just before I saw you"
"So maybe just because I'm Ash former rival, I'm making you think more about him!" he replied, exasperate but not giving up.
"Would you stop with the conclusion? Why do you even care, I mean it's not like we're friends or anything. I don't even know why I'm here with you!"
Gary stood speechless at this last comment, trying his best to not seem hurt. However Misty wasn't that blind and he, not that much of an actor…
"I'm really sorry. I guess I'm a little moody lately I shouldn't release my anger on you" she sighed apologetically
"Look, I'm the one sorry, I just thought that maybe I could help you or I don't know I just wanted to meet you and you didn't feel that okay to me so…"
"That's really sweet of you, thank you but…"
"You don't need my help is that right?"
"No or maybe yes, but that's not what I wanted to say. I meant to say that I didn't even know myself why I was this depressive."
"When was the last time you saw Ash"
"When I went to Hoenn, I had an invitation. That's when Togepi evolved."
"That means you saw him with that other girl, May."
"Yeah…"
"I think it has something to do with that" said Gary "I'm finished, maybe we should walk, take some fresh air"
"Whatever"
Gary got up and walked up to Misty, he took her jacket and help her put it on"
"Here"
"Thanks" she said
There was another flash.
"What is that?"
"Look there's the man over there taking photos of his friend; guess it was them all along, look like they're also leaving"
"Yeah, let's get out of here, please"
They were now walking in the city, the streets were crowed, well too crowed for anyone to recognize them. They were tourists, sellers with stands, walkers or business men. Gary looked at Misty. She seemed thinking again, so he decided to grab her hand, just to comfort her. The touch was warm and Misty smile thankfully to Gary. She was becoming fond of him; he was nicer that she thought.
"Hey, here's a souvenir stand!" said Gary "want a bracelet?" he added pointing toward one of them. This one was really beautiful with pearls, feathers and other pretty stones. It was really well made.
"I don't think…"
"Enough thinking, you tried that already and I'm sure it didn't work, it's just a treat, you deserve it" he convinced her "This one sir"
"Thanks, I really like it" she told him while he was putting the bracelet on her.
"No problem plus you're making it prettier by wearing it" he complimented
Misty giggled
"I don't know why you're being this nice to me but thanks again" she smiled to him
Gary also smiled and realized that he was still holding her hand.
"Sorry, I didn't notice" he blushed
"It's okay, are we leaving? I need to be back by 4"
"Oh yeah, sure hum let's head back to my car"
They walked back to the restaurant and went in the parking. This time Gary remembered, to open the door for Misty and they headed back.
"You learned fast, dear"
"Must be one of my great talents" he grinned
"Stop being a jerk" she kidded him "Haven't you seen flashes again?" she asked him
"There are a lot of tourists... I saw some it's normal"
"Yeah…"
"What are you worrying about? If it's some stalker, don't worry I'll be there to protect you" he assured her
"I can protect myself" she said faking being offended
"What good could a woman be against men" he teased her
"Sexist"
"I call that realism"
"Ha ha ha, really funny"
"I know"
When they arrived at the Cerulean gym, the Waterflowers's security guards were well…guarding.
"Hey look, who's here! Isn't that little Gary?" teased one of them
"How much did you pay Miss Misty to go with you, scum?"
"What did I ever do to you?" asked Gary annoyed
"I don't know, maybe it's the fact that you're alive"
The others guards laughed together
"I see, well that's just to bad 'cause I won't try to change that." He grinned before adding "By the way I'm sure girls are the one paying so they can get rid of you"
"Are you trying to mess with us?" asked the one who didn't like Gary too much the previous time
"Me? I don't think so, gentlemen"
"Look, we don't like scummy, bratty little rich guy like you, so do us a favor and disappear"
"Fine but I'll do me the favor, it's not that I don't like you but…hum never mind I do"
"Why you!" the same one was about to hit Gary
"Stop it Joe! Gary didn't pay me. It's not like father like son he is nicer than what you think okay?" said Misty getting in the way "So let him alone would you, 'cause you were the one starting it"
"Fine" said Joe angry that Misty took Gary's defense and let them enter the gym quietly
"Thanks" said Gary when they entered
"No problem! I'll talk to Joe. Told you! If when someone touches my friends, it becomes personal." She winked to him and Gary answered with a small smile
"You might as well stay over for some days, it'd be stupid to do all the way from Pallet just for an afternoon, I know it's a bit sudden…"
"No it's alright, I'd love to"
"You don't have your stuff"
"I can buy some, remember, I'm a scummy, bratty little rich guy" he winked back
"Okay, the guest room is upstairs" she smiled "I may use some company"
"I figured that out"
The next day, Misty woke up and went down to the kitchen.
"Hi, Gary, you wake up early" she said still drowsy
"The Oaks rise early" he smiled "You're sisters went out and huh I allow myself to make breakfast"
"That doesn't surprise me, they're always out but I'm surprised that you can cook!"
"Really funny" he threw her Kanto magazine "oh I think you may want to check this out" he added more seriously
"Cool, it's finally out, been waiting for this week issue, what's up about it?"
Misty looked at the page Gary showed her.
Misty Waterflower, talented gym leader and gorgeous girl, seem to have put her hands on one of the most wanted man of all Kanto: The handsome and rich Gary Oak. Below are some photos taken yesterday on what seems to be a date…
She stopped reading, shocked, and looked at the pictures.
There was one of them at the restaurant, when Gary had reached out for a straw; it looked like they were kissing. Another one when they were holding hands and another when he opened the door for her. There even was the time when he put on her the bracelet. The words, all new hot couple, cute together, romantic and secret date caught her eyes the most.
"You were right about the flashes" he apologized
"They must be kidding, this can't be happening, everybody will read this!"
