Ch. 2
Finally work was over. Today had been extra tiring because it was Friday and there was a huge crowd and long waiting line outside the café. It had been a few days since Lettuce had met up with Pie. And a few days since any attack. However, the memory of that moment was still at the front of her mind. She hadn't been able to figure out want came over her. She tired to convince herself that it hadn't really happened but the memory of his warm, moist lips, strong shoulders, and that feeling of weightlessness in his arms sent her flying on a dream cloud.
"Earth to Lettuce!" Mint exclaimed as she slammed her tea cup down on the table.
"Sorry" Lettuce said feeling herself blush anew. She hurried over and refilled Minto's tea cup.
"What's on your mind lately?" Mint asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, where has your mind been lately? Certainly not here." Mint smiled. "Does it have anything to do with a boy, perhaps?"
The new, deeper blush on Lettuce's cheeks seemed to answer that.
"Would you like to tell me about it?"
Lettuce shook her head.
Mint took a sip of tea, her eyes watching Lettuce, "Alright, but if you ever change your mind, just let me know."
Lettuce smiled at her friend and went to help finish cleaning the café so they could all go home. When they all changed out of their uniforms, they said goodbye at the door and went their separate ways. Lettuce wasn't ready to go home yet and be consumed by her thoughts in a empty house so she headed for the park. She sat on a bench near where she had met up with Pie a few days ago. She sat there for awhile listening to the birds and watching the people walk leisurely by.
After a while, the sun was slowly sinking from the sky leaving splashes of pink and orange to decorate the clouds above. She stood up and was about to leave when she heard a twig snap overhead. She backed up quickly and looked up. There he was again, watching her. She began to wonder how long he had been up there but was forced to push the puzzle aside when he jumped down to the ground in front of her.
She wasn't scared, nervous, worried, or anything her mind said she should be in the presence of her enemy, especially alone with her enemy. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest but not in fear, but at the mere sight of him. For he was handsome and attractive to her. Her eyes took a quick sweep of his body which only made her heart leap to her throat, destroying any thought she had of speaking.
However, her heart told her she wouldn't need words right then. Pie stepped closer to her until they were merely an inch apart. He began to slowly lean down towards her lips. She felt her eyes slowly close and savor the moment when his breathe mingled with hers. Lettuce pushed herself up on her toes and met her lips with his. Passion flowed freely through her veins and throughout her entire body. Pie reached around and brought her body to his. The feel of his body heat against hers made her knees go weak. When he pressed his tung against her lips, begging for entrance, shivers ran down her back as she allowed her lips to part and for him to explore.
When in became apparent that she desperately needed air, as did he, they broke and breathed heavily with their eyes locked. No words were said. No words were needed. Without asking, he teleported both him and her to her house for it had gotten dark quickly. With one last sweet kiss, he teleported back to the ship.
Back at the park, in the bushes were Pie and Lettuce once stood by, a certain black cat with a ribbon and bell on her tail steeped out from her hiding spot. Her eyes were narrowed and her ears laid back against her head. With a prissy spit cat noise of disapproval, the cat bounded off towards the café.
