Hey there!
This is the second chapter and I hope you like it.
Nope, still no reviews. People, review.
This one's hot. Now read on!
The red head stood beside Asuka for what seemed like a lifetime. He didn't really need to do anything. He was the school outcast, because of his eccentricity and anti-social behavior but most of all, he was feared for his fighting abilities. He once pulverized a punk twelve inches taller than him. The punk ended up in a hospital for 12 days. The line of fans was growing thin.
'Why does he have to stay so close?' She thought as her hands automatically signed the pieces of paper or notebook given to her. 'I can't breathe normally. His scent is too, too… irresistible?' She frowned at the thought. She was getting too emotional and they only met a few minutes ago.
A few minutes later, it came down to one last fan.
"Hey, why did you have to get stuck with someone like him? You know you could ask for a replacement if you wanted to?" said the young brunette, who obviously wasn't aware of the red head's reputation.
"Being picky and rude isn't going to sort out things." Asuka quickly said. She felt obliged to defend her bodyguard, why felt that is beyond her.
"Ok. You are very kind Asuka-sama. You will surely be very, very successful." The fan bowed after getting her autographed notebook and went away before she could even open her mouth.
The singer stood up and reached for Gaara's hand and pulled him towards her dressing room, all the while hanging her head down. The red head not really caring about the singers head but why was she doing this. He can't understand.
Inside, she pointed to an upholstered stool beside the sofa and he obliged.
"Stay there. Don't look." She picked up her leather backpack and went to the bathroom.
She stayed there for a long time that the red head started thinking if she got flushed down the toilet.
'Stop that! She's a girl!' One side of him thought
'Since when did you cared for girls or anyone for that matter?' another side of him replied. She was making him think about her again.
'Maybe she's a witch. A very pretty witch indeed.' He mentally punched himself and cursed her under his breath.
Meanwhile….
Asuka was staring at herself in the mirror. She was starting to get worried that she wouldn't get her job done. Gaara would stand in the way and she didn't want him involved.
She looked at her face, the face that caused her so much trouble. How she wished she had an uglier face.
'I didn't think I'd find him this way.' She sighed. By now she's changed to a signature sky blue shirt and khaki pants. She decided to not think about it anymore. She'll tink about her objectives sometime later.
The bathroom door opened revealing a changed Asuka in her "normal" look. She still looked better than most people.
"Why defend me?" Gaara blurted out, looking straight into her
"For the reputation. I have to keep a good reputation if I am to stay in the biz" The singer coldly said.
"Liar"
"Why did you say that?"
Gaara walked closer until he was only 3 inches away from her, completely oblivious of the singer's blushing.
"Eyes tell everything." He stared into her now pale blue eyes.
"Then tell me what am I thinking now?" She said as she pouted out of habit. One of those things she wasn't proud of but couldn't control. But as she did so, her lips touched his. She tried to speak but ended up kissing him.
Their eyes closed and their lips ensued in a slow kiss. Her arms ended up on his neck and he wrapped his hands around her hips, pulling her closer. The kiss evolved to something passionate and longing. Like children deprived of candy, they grabbed at moment to get back what was lost to them. Her lips parted and his tongue delved in and explored the sweetness of he mouth. For what seems like a lifetime, they continued until they felt their cheeks wet with tears. They were both stunned as their lips parted. They didn't move anything else and stayed in each other's arms. Their foreheads resting on the other's. They looked at each other's eyes. The red head moved to kiss her once more and a groan was lost in his mouth.
They parted themselves and sat away from each other on the floor. Both were surprised at the chain of events that just happened. Asuka touched her lips with her trembling fingers.
What had happened and why had it happened? These were the questions playing with their minds. They sat therefor a long time.
