Chapter 3 Denying Love and a party to forget
Po had not talked to Tigress for two days, he felt he was on thin ice as it is with the whole almost kissing thing so he kept on the down low making friends with four of his co-workers Viper,Mantis, Monkey and Crane also talking to Snow who would not stop pestering him about Tigress but also got some decent conversation out of her at other times,he enjoyed their company they were all great to hang around with plus he felt like he had been given brothers and sisters to be with.
Tigress thought it better to not pull him into her office straight away as it would make him think he was going to be fired so she waited for a while but after having a talk with Viper on confronting him of course saying it was another guy she felt that today was right for them to talk.
Tigress made her way from her office over to Po's
Knock Knock!
"Come in" Came Po's cheery voice
Tigress froze for just a second then entered shyly
"Mr Ping hello" she greeted staring at him at his work desk
"Oh Uh Miss Stripes how are you today?" Po blushed he couldn't help it merely seeing her made his heart skip a beat she was wearing a bright red shirt with a yellow skirt and black high heels and had rouge red lipstick on she was stunning but her eyes were the greatest source of her beauty.
"Fine just came to talk to you about.." Tigress trailed off blushing at the panda who's eyes made her feel safe and warm and he looked handsome today, he was wearing a long sleeved light blue shirt with some dark brown pants with black shoes.
"THE NEW BOOK YEAH IT'S GREAT A LITTLE DRY AND NEEDS IMPROVING.." Po rushed out trying to avoid the subject
"Mr Ping"
"I MEAN THE WRITING WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MISSING SECTIONS AT FIRST.."
"MR PING" Tigress raised her voice a little getting annoyed at the pandas Constant avoidance
"AND THE NAME Kung Fu Panda Hustle (mick take on kung fu hustle which I don't own) OH SO BAD...!"
"PO!" Tigress roared out
He stopped at the sound of his first name and reading it on her face that she was pissed
She closed the door and locked it then moved to lean over the desk getting close to his face glaring him in the eyes
"I want to talk about what happened two days ago and we are sorting it out right now understand" she didn't take her eyes of his and her voice was low and practically dripped seriousness
"OK Miss Stripes" Po said meekly giving into his bosses demand
She smiled "Call me Tigress please as this is not a work related discussion."
Po breath caught in his throat her smile was amazing it was like a ray of sunshine at dawn rarely seen but absolutely breath taking.
"OK Mi.. Tigress"
"Good now relax I am not going to fire you but please explain your actions." her voice was soothing and calm
"OK" (Po took a deep breath) "Tigress I am sorry for my actions, I just...Just when you stared at me like that and how your eyes roamed around me change me a little and when I caught your scent and how I could sense your arousal I I..." Po looked down in shame
"Po it's alright..."Tigress began
"No it's not! your my boss and I'm your assistant, if I did kiss you and slept with you that day well people would start rumors, your reputation would be ruined, I could have done that!
"Po"
"Tigress I am SO sorry can we just forget it ever happened and stay friends?"
Tigress was saddened by this but she was about to say the exact same thing that they should remain co-workers and maybe just friends.
"Yes Po we can forget about it you actually you just took the words right out of my mouth actually." She smiled nervously
"Oh...well... good thank you Tigress" Po smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of his head
"OK now that's settled back to work oh and Po it's my sisters birthday party tomorrow and she been begging me to ask you to come along will you be available?" Tigress put on a fake smile of happiness moving towards the door
"Yeah sure I'll come! Don't let the door hit you on the way out haha" Po also faked his joy putting a joke on the end
Tigress chuckled, unlocking the door and left.
Po groaned and placed his head on the desk shaking it from side to side as he said those words to Tigress he felt his heart rip into two but it was for the best it would protect her and he was willing to live with that even if it meant he couldn't be with her as a lover but just as a friend.
In Po's head
Po Desire "ARE YOU A FUCKING MORON!? YOUR LETTING THAT HOT PIECE OF ASS GO!
Po Gentleman "He made the right choice"
Po Love "No he didn't he made a huge mistake!"
Po gentleman "Love your back why?"
PL "Because Po needs me!"
PD "Hey bro what are you doing her? I haven't seen you since..." Desires face became one of sadness.
PL Yeah well lets drop that right now I must make Po see the errors of his ways."
PG "No he has made his choice,it is to late."
PL "No that is not true I wouldn't be here otherwise."
In Tigresses office
Tigress closed her door and slumped against it.
She felt like she died on the inside when she told Po that they should forget about what happened, she slide down the door wrapping her arms around her knees pushing her head close to them a tear ran down her face, she knew he was right people would talk and it would be bad for her if she ever decided to promote him but this ache inside her would not stop, she pushed the feeling away content that she had Po as a friend but she wished she could be more.
In Tigresses head (LT= Lady Tigress, TL=Tigress love)
TD "OH YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING IDIOT! YOU ARE LETTING SOMETHING SO SHITTY STAND IN THE WAY OF HAVING THAT MUSCLE MAN! REALLY!?
Lady Tigress "It was the right thing to do it may hurt us but it is for the best"
Tigress love "Lady you know that isn't true!"
LT "Who?..."
TD "SISTER!"
TL "DESIRE IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU!" both emotions hug
LT "sister?"
TD "Yeah this is love"
LT "A pleasure but your to late Tigress has just agreed to forget the whole affair"
TL "That's not true as I am here which means she still feels something for him and I will help her realise it!"
The rest of the day was one of focus and determination from the boss and her assistant but co-workers could not help but feel that something was off between the two.
Monkey,Crane and Mantis went to ask Viper as she was the closest to Tigress apart from Po
"Viper, what is going on with the boss? Monkey asked
"That's none of your business besides I don't know that they almost kissed" Viper wrapped her tail around her mouth and went wide eyed gasping slightly
"THEY WHAT!?" THE MEN SHOUTED
"SHHHH!"
"Sorry but they almost kissed? That amazing! No one has got that close to the boss before atta boy Po!" Mantis cheered in a whisper
"Yeah but I was passing Pos office and I heard that they were going to forget about the whole thing"Viper continued
"No way well at least he didn't get fired" Crane said happy to have the panda around
"Yeah but I feel bad for her we had a talk she used another name of course and she sounded like she really liked him maybe even loved him."
"Maybe you should go see her make sure she is alright and we will talk to Po." Monkey suggested
"No not today tomorrow after all we are invited to Snows birthday party we can try and get them together then!" Viper give the biggest smile of her life it was her time to shine as wing girl to Tigress.
"Alright that's the plan then everyone meet at the entrance and we will go over our strategy." Crane stated also happy at the idea of getting his friend with someone and being a literal wingman along with the other guys
The group nodded and went back to their posts excited for tomorrows plan and action.
The next afternoon at 8:00pm
Banners were being put up,food was being set out,relatives and friends were chattering to one another preparing for the birthday girl at a nightclub everyone excited and laughing unfortunately Tigress had the honor of picking up Snow and had to suffer another one of her embarrassing interrogations as they drove to the party Tigress was wearing a maroon dress that went to her knees while Snow wore a similar dress only pure white matching her fur with simple black outlining Snow had blue lipstick on and Tigress wore orange both wearing black high heels.
"Sooo is Po coming to the party?" She asked nonchalantly
"Yes"
"Oh good! He is a lot of fun to be around plus I have more questions for him!" Snow picked up a bit then went into detective mode
"Leave him alone Snow or a least leave your detective instincts locked up, please he came here because he wants to be your best friend and wish you a happy birthday okay he's not a suspect." Tigress scolded her sister
"Ahh but when I called him last night to ask him to come he said YOU had already invited him why is that Sister? Do you like him?" she teased
Tigress blushed a little and her heart picked up a bit
"Of course I like him he is a good friend and why did you ask me if he was coming when you already knew?"Tigress challenged
"Why Tigress you have become defensive so you must really LIKE him then." Snow caught Tigress red handed
"Well what about you Snow?" Tigress dropped her in it
"What?"
"All I hear from you is "Oh Po is so funny, Po is amazing and strong and he is extremely handsome" Why is that hmmm? Do you LIKE him?" Tigress gave a sly smile of enjoyment at being the one in control.
Snow caught on to what she was doing but still blushed and answered
"Well maybe a little I mean he is what I look for in a man, he is strong,handsome,smart,caring and he always makes me laugh I guess I tease you about him and you getting together because I want to be with him and now that I know your just friends maybe I will go for it, are you alright with that?" Snow asked her sister sincerely not wanting to hurt her.
Tigress tighten her grip on the wheel a bit in slight anger but knew that she had agreed to forgetting about him and forced herself to say
"Yes it's fine, of course, you go for it be happy with him after all he is just my assistant and friend" Tigress smiled at her sister
Snow knew she was lying but it was true what she said she enjoyed being around Po she loved how he would crack a joke or do something stupid just to make people smile and when she looked into his eyes she saw such determination in them that nothing could perish she respected that in him and it was one of the few things that attracted her to him.
She knew that it would break her sisters heart but she couldn't help how she felt for the panda but she would give him up if it brought her sister happiness, they both sat in silence for the remainder of the journey.
Inside the nightclub
Everything had been set the cake was in the kitchen ready to bring out, the food was all ready to be eaten, the balloons and banners had been put up and the the DJ had arrived everything was running smoothly.
Po was wearing a black and Gold No Fear t-shirt with dark blue jeans and black and white striped trainers
Crane was dressed with a red beanie hat and a plain white t-shirt
Mantis and Monkey ended up with two black shirts with "Come and get it ladies" written on it while monkey had dark grey pants on and black white trainers
Viper wore two Gold and White pom pom on her head
They were all discussing about the party when an Older white and black Tiger wearing a red shirt,black jeans and black boots accompanied with an orange and black striped Tiger who was wearing a gold dress that went to her hips with purple lipstick on and gold high heels, they both pulled Po away for a while.
"Woah!" Po was dragged off to a corner and spun around facing the two tigers
"Hi there I am Tigresses and Snows father Fang and this is their mother and my wife Shira a pleasure to meet you" Fang extended his hand in greeting to po
"An honor to meet you both" Po clasped his hand and was met with a hand crushing grip as he shook it
"So you are Tigress boyfriend?" Fang asked growling lowly
"Oh no sir I am her assistant at work hehe" Po said sweating a little
"Fang! (she swatted his hand forcing him to release it) I am so sorry about that he is very protective but may I ask are you Snows boyfriend then?" She asked much more sweetly he couldn't believe she was their mother he saw a resemblance but something was missing.
"No ma'am I am just her friend"
"Oh OK well come here and give me a hug, thank you for coming!"
Po accepted her hug although she squeezed him so tightly he was near death, he was also in heaven as he now knows where Tigress and Snow get there Breasts from,
"she is huge! This guy is a lucky man! WOW! Po thought giving a slight cheeky smile not noticed by anyone.
Shira got close to pos ear and whispered
"If you do decide to date one of my daughters please don't hurt their feelings." She gave and audible growl,releasing her claws) "Or I will personally rip your testicles off then I will rip your eyes out and shove them down your throat so you can watch me tear you open!" She threatened in a wild nature slightly adding pressure with her claws and growling in his ear.
Pos thought
"There we go now I see the full resemblance, the females of the family obviously have huge knockers and Tempers!
In reality
Po nodded into the hug
She purred and backed away smiling "Well such a nice man! I will leave you two to get acquainted"
She pulled on Pos cheeks a little bit before leaving laughing and greeting others
"Well now I know the source of Tigresses and Snows temper" Po was shaking with fear
"Yeah you want my advice don't..."
"ARGUE" They said at the same time Fang looked at po in shock "You learn quick"
"Well I am your daughter's assistant" They shared a laugh
Fang thoughts
"Hmm I can see why Snow talks about him so much, he obviously is respectable but shows a fun caring side still I will watch him closely"
Viper voiced boomed loud
"EVERYBODY SHE'S HERE QUIET !"
Everyone ducked for cover making sure to have the room completely silent and dark
As Tigress and Snow entered the room
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! EVERYONE SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS IN JOY
OH MY GOD! SNOW SCREAMED IN DELIGHT RUSHING AROUND HUGGING EVERYONE
After the cake was brought out and Snow made her wish The party kicked off few people were on the dance floor, some in seats or corner booths and some were just chatting at the bar.
Po however found a small space in the corner with a drink of Jack Daniels leaning against the wall watching as the various Tigers, Birds, Wolves, Rabbits and other animals chatter away he sighed admiring all the couples that had found love in one another and never let go.
Tigresses voice broke him from his trail of thought
"Po what are you doing over here?"
"Oh uh just thinking on a... Report I need to finish that's all."
"Oh OK" Tigress stood beside him quietly
She came over to check on him to make sure he was OK but she felt it was more than that like she was drawn to him for another reason, she looked out to the couples on the dance floor, she smiled contently imagining she was out there with her one true love, him holding her tight and making her feel safe, she wished Po would be that man but he couldn't because of their current predicament of being boss and assistant and their promise to just be friends.
"Um Tigress would you uh like to dance?" Po nervously asked
Tigress looked at him in shock he wanted to dance with her she felt her heart pick up for what seemed the millionth time but then she began to think logically he was just doing it to be nice.
"Yes Po I would love to dance."Tigress smiled warmly and held out her hand for him to take.
Po downed his drink in one swift motion then he smiled at Tigress before heading to the dance floor with her hand in hand.
DJ "Alright ladies and Gentleman time for a slow dance turning it down a bit
As the soft slow beat played Tigress and Po pushed through the crowd making their way to the center once there Po spun Tigress around making her face him pulling her close placing one hand on her hip and he held the other up in his hand delicately while she placed her other hand on his shoulder.
They then slowly began moving around in a circular motion side stepping their feet every once in a while giving it a slow peaceful dance.
They shared a small chuckle together enjoying their little dance Po looked into her Fiery orange eyes in wonder they drew him in he felt like they were bright rays of light in the darkness for some reason Po began pulling her closer so she could place her head on his chest he caught her scent again That scent that made his heart skip a beat, the one thing he could wake up too for the rest of his life and that has haunted him in his sleep.
They continued there dance in each others grasp perfectly melded together other couples began to stop dancing and stared at the two awwing and whispering to each other but they didn't care they were in their own person sanctuary.
Tigress enjoyed the feeling of Pos warm muscular arms wrapped around her waist and the tempo of his heartbeat in his chest soothing her making her feel safe, she purred sending a vibration into Po he liked this to see and hear her happy it made him feel speacial, he was definitely the man of Tigresses dreams but a forbidden man at the same time, the ache in her heart was back again bringing her down into darkness telling her no matter how hard she wished for it Po would never be hers, tears threatened to fall but she kept up her purring enjoying the moment while it lasted.
As the music began to die down he pulled a way just a fraction so he could dip her she allowed this and as he performed the action, the lights in the room shone brightly on him highlighting his fur making him look even more attractive and handsome, the same effect was on Tigress as well making her seem like an angel and their they stayed Po looking down at Tigress frozen in place before an uproar of
"Kiss her! Kiss her!" Came from the crowd
Po and Tigress blushed they didn't know what to do.
Po love and Tigress Love "KISS HIM/HER"!
They both wanted to obey the voices in their heads but Po lifted her back up and let her go getting groans of disappointment from the audience.
Tigress stared at Po flushed before hurrying out "Thank you for the dance Po!" and rushed off to the bathroom followed close behind Viper and Snow
Po looked down regretting his decision, he should have kissed her then and there but he made a promise to forget her but somehow her scent lingered on him, surrounding him like they were still together, he pushed it away and went to the bar to order another drink and he thought it best he should leave.
In the toilets
Tigress was in a bathroom stall crying she felt stupid and pathetic she wanted to kis him to sanctify there love with that kiss but she couldn't all because of such a trivial thing as being boss and assistant.
Snows voice broke her from thought
"Tigress are you OK?"
"Yes (sniff) I'm fffine"
"Tigress please come out so we can talk to you and not a door" Viper voice was humorous but caring
Tigress wiped her eyes and opened the door, she looked at Snow who held out her arms wanting to make her sister feel better, she charged into them and started weeping again.
"Shh shh it's alright Tigress" Snow stroked her sister head soothingly and viper joined in hating to see her best friend looking like this. Snow asked
"Is this about Po?" Tigress nodded
"Do you love him?" She nodded again
"Then why don't you go for him?"
"Because I (sniff) Can't, we have agreed not to date each other because of our jobs (sniff) and he's right people would talk and..."
"Tigress if you love him then you shouldn't care what people say about you two" Viper jumped in
"I know but I just can't please don't push me on this I will forget him in time just please let me forget."
Tigresses eyes were pleading and her make up was all smeared across her cheeks from the tears Snow and Viper wanted to tell her to not do this but they realized she needed to find out for herself that she couldn't live without him so they dropped it and helped her clean up rejoining the party.
Crane had told Viper that Po had ordered a drink then left telling him that he had a report to finish and he would see everyone tomorrow.
Viper groaned in annoyance
"This is going to be harder than I thought."
