Once more with feeling! Or something close to that. i think maybe this chapter should be the start of part 2 of this story. Then again, it makes it sound like I have some semblance of a plan about where any of this is going. I'm sure you guys don't care though just as long as you get your fill.
My body was heavy when the morning light finally woke me up. I felt more tired than I should but my mind was finally satisfied after the events of last night. Now if only I didn't feel so guilty about it. I've never had thoughts like that before about anyone I had ever liked or dated. Maybe it was just pent up frustration that had led me to it but it was definitely a new experience for me. The thing I needed to figure out though was how to handle it.
I was lost in my thoughts when a knock sounded on my door. Blake opened the door and peeked her head in and looked at me with surprised eyes.
"I knew you were tired Weiss but you're just now waking up? You're going to have to hurry if you want to come with me to meet up with Yang." She said.
I was very confused. "Why are we meeting up with her?"
She frowned. "You didn't give her your number, did you? You didn't get the message then. It's weekend fun time. We usually meet her at the gym."
I sighed and stood. "Okay then. I'll get ready as fast as I can."
Blake started giggling to herself. "Did you wet yourself a little last night?"
I looked down at myself and saw a wet spot between my legs. "Blake get out now!" I screamed.
She quickly shut the door and I was stuck by myself about to cry. Not because of Blake laughing at me but because she had seen the evidence of what I was doing last night. How I didn't notice it when I first woke up I'll never know but it was too late now. Blake saw me like this and there was nothing to do about it. I stripped and put my soiled clothes in a basket for when I go do laundry. With nothing but a towel, I quickly ran to the bathroom, racing past Blake.
"Weiss it's okay. Everyone has their moments." She said as I went by.
I just quickly slammed the door and started the shower. Stepping into the warm water relaxed me, but it was too much. I sat down at the bottom of the tub and started sobbing into my hands. The guilt had grabbed me and took me over. I objectified my best friend and roommate. A person who went as far as to move my furniture into my room as a surprise. Someone who actually cared, and I just acted like I was that crooked cop.
I was stuck like that for ten minutes before I heard Blake knocking on the door. "We're meeting with Yang in an hour. If you need to though, you can take your time."
To me that was a sign that I should probably start getting out. I did my best to clean as best as I could within the next five minutes making sure to get rid of any trace of what I had done. When I was satisfied I rushed back out the bathroom door in an attempt to get by Blake again but she was ready this time.
She reached out and put a hand on my shoulder. She studied my face. "You were crying in there weren't you?"
I didn't say anything, instead choosing to avoid her eyes.
"Please don't worry Weiss, things like that happen to all of us at some point. I'm not judging you on it."
"You laughed..." I managed.
Blake gave me a quick hug. "I'm sorry that I did. It was just a spur of the moment reaction."
I simply nodded.
"Maybe you'll feel better when we meet up with Yang. I won't mention anything about this morning so don't worry." Blake assured me.
I looked away and went to my room. Today was just going to be a trial for me. I could just tell.
"This is where Yang works out" I asked.
Blake took out her keys and opened her door. "Yep. Lets head in."
She was already a few steps ahead when I got out. I watched her for a second but I caught myself staring and decided to walk fast and get next to her to avoid that problem. We got to the doors of the gym and when they opened a blast of cold air attacked us. It probably helped the people who were working out but for me it just gave me the shivers.
The inside was kind of how I expected it. All kinds of exercise machines lined he place. There just wasn't that many people in here though. My guess was that it wasn't late enough in the day for people to come in and work out yet. The only people I saw there were Yang and Ruby. Yang was at the bench press with a good amount of weight on it. She looked like she was going slow but looking at the sweat on her body told me that she was at the end of her workout. While she did that Ruby was being a good sister and "spotting" her. I knew that little girl wouldn't be able to help if Yang couldn't lift it back up but it she was adorable with that determined look on her face.
When we walked up to them, Ruby excitedly smiled and ran to us and gave us each a hug. Yang quickly put the bar back on its hold and got up to greet us. I saw her hand raise to wave at us but I was distracted by her workout outfit. Tight fitting shorts with a tank top stuck to her rather large bust by sweat was a deadly combination to me it seemed. My head was doing the same thing as last night.
"Ms. Weiss, are you okay?" Ruby asked, snapping me out of my vivid imagination.
The other two girls looked me but I just nodded at Ruby. "I'm fine Ruby. You can just call me Weiss though."
Yang walked up and patted Ruby's head. "Can you go get my towel, Ruby? I'm a little soaked."
"Aw, why can't you go get it?" She asked.
"Don't start being sour when our friends just show up. Besides, I figured you would want to get it considering there is a small bag of cookies on it." Yang told her.
Ruby face went back to a smile and she ran off. "Don't worry sis, I got it!"
Blake watched Ruby run off. "How do you keep her so cute? Sugar injections?"
Yang laughed. "Nah, I usually go with puppy baths."
"I might have to try that. It looks like it works." Blake noticed.
We joked around for a couple more minutes like this until Yang was ready to leave. Now we were just throwing around ideas to see what we wanted to do for the day. We all had our own ideas but it just all settled down to walking through Vale's big mall. It had a lot of different things in it so we all knew that something would eventually jump out at us.
At first, I was stuck as Ruby's partner because she wanted to show me a lot of things that she liked. According to Yang it was something she did with all of her new friends. It left Blake and Yang together just chatting away with the occasional laugh. I really hoped that Blake would keep her word and not mention this morning's incident.
We stopped in a good amount of stores where we would check out clothes or other things that we liked. I enjoyed clothes but I was never a material person even if my large amount of time on the web would surprise most people. Ruby on the other hand, was enthralled by every piece of clothing she found cute. It was hard to keep up with the girl when she saw something and ran to it. That's how most of my time was spent in these stores up until Yang came up and grabbed Ruby.
"Okay Ruby, I think you've bugged Weiss enough. Go with Blake, I think she said something about being hungry." Yang was such a manipulator.
"You're not going to come with us?" Ruby asked.
Yang shook her head. "Nah, I want to talk with Weiss for a bit."
I shot a look at her. "About what?"
"Nothing important, no worries." She said.
Next thing I knew, she had her arm around me and was walking me out of the store. I didn't know what she wanted to talk to me about but I was very suspicious about what it was.
We made it out of the store and Yang started steering me towards an arcade. it didn't seem like something Yang would be in to but she just kept walking. Inside, Yang went over to the crane game that was filled with stuffed animals. She let me go and started pulling out quarters to play. I stood there as she concentrated on pulling out an elephant.
Yang finally started talking to me without breaking concentration. "So how well do you and Blake get along?"
The question felt a little out of left field. "I think we get along fine. Yesterday is evidence of that."
Yang nodded. "True, Blake has some cool things for you. What have you done for her though?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Yang put in another quarter after failing to get the elephant. "Well there must be a reason why she has done this much for you. She seems a bit more active now that you've shown up."
I thought back through all the times I did things with her. "I haven't really done anything big. I've just hung out with her and such."
Yang readjusted herself to get a better look, making her behind stick out more. "Well that's something I guess. She also told me something interesting this morning while planning this little get together."
I was about ready to run. "What was it?"
"She told me about the book you brought in. The one about the lesbian lovers." She said.
The panic in me subsided a bit. "Oh, right. She was reading it when I came into the apartment after you left."
Yang smacked the glass case and put another quarter in. "Yea, that's what she told me. So Weiss, are you into women?"
My cheeks flared almost immediately. "Why do you ask that?"
"Because of the book and the fact that I've caught you eyeing me over twice now. Plus, I can see you glancing at my ass in the case's reflection." Yang was more observant than I thought.
I accepted defeat. "It's... something I've just only figured out."
Yang finally got the elephant out of the case and in her hands. "How recent are we talking?"
"Umm, very recent.." I said looking away from Yang.
She got very close to me. "Is there a specific girl you're looking at?"
I looked down and shook my head. Not to deny it but to try and get rid of the images of Blake that started popping into my head.
I suddenly felt Yang up against me and a hand running down my back. At first I froze but when it reached my behind I jumped away. "Well it's not me then." Yang said.
"Of course it isn't!" I half yelled.
She laughed. "Well it's hard to tell when you have been obviously checking me out. I guess it was just because you were feeling a little pent up. Must be Blake then."
I turned away so she couldn't see the way my face reacted. "I don't know what you're talking about."
I felt Yang's hand steering me out of the store. "Yea sure. Let's head back then. I sure you're itching to go see her again. Don't mind me though, I'll just be watching to see where it goes."
I thought this would end up longer but it stayed in the exact normal scale for how long my chapters are. Although, by this point I need some kind of arc or whatever past this chapter to chapter deal I've been scraping by with. I'm surprised you guys have stuck with it for so long. But oh well. As always, reviews are welcome and remember to have fun!
