Chapter Written By: BeautiiQueen


Richard was practically twitching by the end of the day. He was never, and I mean never going to help with wedding plans again, not even his own. He'll leave that to Kory.

He suddenly shook his head out of his thoughts when his meal was ready. Grabbing the tray of food off the counter he went over to where Donna and Diana were sitting, giggling and looking through wedding magazines.

Why was he helping them again?

Oh yeah. Bruce would kill him if he declined. But wasn't this Bruce's wedding?! Like what the hell.

Sitting the tray down he paid no attention to the girls, and only nodded his head when they ask something.

"Hey Dick, isn't that Kory?" Donna asked in confusion, furrowing her brow, pointing a finger at the redhead in line at the counter.

Richard almost choke on his burger, quickly swallowing the rest, he hastily turned around to see. Yup, there she was.

Kory blushed feeling someone watching her; she turned her head around, her eyes meeting Richard's. Her eyes widen, she blushed to the max, and quickly turned around.

It had only been two days since the whole incident, and it couldn't get anymore embarrassing.

She had made a promise to Xavier not to see Richard anymore, but that didn't stop her from thinking about him day and night. She was so confused now; she just didn't know what to do.

Half of her wanted to leave Xavier, and go to Richard. But the other half, made her stay with him, no matter how badly he treated her.

She had believe Xavier loved her, but now, she wonder if she was just to stuck in a big deep black whole that he created for her.

"Kory." A voice whisper in her ear, making her jumping slightly, she turned towards Richard. Blushing bright red she started to stutter. "H-hey, R-Richard, how's I-it g-going?" She nervously smiled, wishing he would just go away. Why was he doing this? Doesn't he realize his not only hurting himself, but her too? Richard could be so thoughtless and selfless sometimes it wasn't even funny.

"I'm fine, Kory. But I think me and you should, you know? Talk." Richard said calmly, putting a hand on her shoulder, his face was stoic. "C'mon, Kor, all I need is five minutes. Just five." He held up his hand showing her five fingers.

Kory desperately tried to get out of there, grabbing her bag off the counter she turned towards. "Richard, I'm sorry. I-I just can't. Believe me, I would if I could." Her eyes cast downwards, her face still red as ever.

"But, Kor! I really, really, need to talk to you." Richard urge, his eyes pleading her. Kory was about to answer, but she slip on her feet, spilling her food all over Richard.

"Oh!" Kory blushed furiously, grabbing a napkin; she wiped what she could off of Richard's shirt. "I am so, so, so sorry!" Her eyes widen, wiping furiously at his black shirt.

Richard just nodded dumbly, to shock for words, I mean Kory hands were on his chest.

He was saved once his phone started to ring. Choking on his words, he just lightly pushed Kory back away from him. He couldn't handle her hands on him anymore.

Hastily fishing for his cell phone in his pocket, he almost dropped it out of his hands because of his nerves.

Answering it, his eyes travel to Kory, she seemed to be looking as nervous as he was. I mean they haven't really had any alone time together in what it seem ages.

"Hey, French fry! What's going on?" Victor "Vic" Stone laughed into the phone. Richard inwardly thank Victor because if he didn't called, he couldn't stop himself for what he was about to do to Kory.

Just looking at those cherry red lips…

"Dick you there?" Victor asked. Richard's eyes slightly widen, he was not thinking what he was thinking. Putting his hand onto the phone, he turned his attention to Kory. "Uh, I gotta take this, Kor. Don't go." He narrowed his eyes just slightly, meaning he meant business.

Kory just raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "Just who are you to tell me what to do, Richard?" She glared at him, all awkwardness set aside.

Richard gulped. "Kory, c'mon, just please." He begs, pouting slightly. Kory just narrowed her eyes, and 'hpmh'.

Richard sighed, but was glad that she wasn't going anywhere. Walking slightly away from her, he answered the call.

"Hey Vic!" He fake a cheery voice, yeah, Victor didn't buy it, but he ignored it.

"Hey everyone's here, just wanted to call and see how you were doing. And did I just hear, Kory?"

Richard frowned, he didn't want to tell them just yet, but he couldn't exactly avoid the subject any longer.

"Er, yeah, you did." Richard closed his eyes, breathing a bit more than usual.

"Oh! Really? Can you put her on the phone!" Richard could hear Garfield "Gar" Logan on the phone now, and that made him smile slightly. He then heard Rachel Logan(well, she was married to Gar).

"Dick don't mind him. Are you serious that you found, Kory?"

"Yeah, Rachel, I did. But we aren't exactly on the best terms." Richard laughed nervously, pulling at his shirt collar.

"Oh. Really? Well, hey, we're going to call back later. Tell us how it went." Was the last thing Rachel said before hanging up. Richard could only stare confusedly at his phone. How is it that Rachel could always figure out what was going on? That woman was psychic.

Shaking his head, he hung up his phone, and turned towards Kory, who was playing with her hands. "Me and you need to talk now, Kory." Kory only nodded her head nervously. She knew this was going to come sooner or later. Her wanting the latter.

"Well?" Kory asked, raising a delicate eyebrow at the nervous Richard. She wanted nothing better to do than end this conversation as soon as possible.

"I, uh, can we talk somewhere private." Richard glance around at the food court. Kory shrugged. "I suppose." She seemed calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside her legs were feeling like jello and her stomach was doing flip-flops.

Richard made a hand-gesture to Diana and Donna, letting them know he'd be back in a minute, taking Kory's hand, they went to a more quiet area.

It was awkward, and Richard was thinking. 'How do I break up her and Xavier, and prove to her I'm the right one.' Richard was clueless…

"So… how are you?" Richard asked, breaking the silence. If it was one thing about Richard he loved silences, but not when they were awkward.

'You mean, after my boyfriend decided to cheat on me and then showed up fours years later when I'm about to get married and makes me feel like I'm in love with him all over again. Great.' Kory thought, and suddenly considering whether or not to actually say that out loud, but instead she replied. "I'm doing fine. A little busy, you know, planning for the wedding and everything."

Richard flinched at the 'W' word. "Right, I forgot." Again another awkward silence.

After a few moments, Dick slowly brought up his hand towards Kory cheek, rubbing his thumbs in circles. Kory gulped and held her breath for a second, than slowly gaining back her thoughts, she reached up to touch his wrist. "Dick…" Her eyes searched his. "I…"

Richard coughed, and took his hand away from her cheek. "Right, sorry." wiping his sweaty and shaky hands onto his pants leg.

Dick than suddenly blurt out, "Kory, are you happy?"

"What?" Kory exclaimed, utterly shock at the question. Oh dare he!

"Are you happy?" Dick repeated, because he really wanted to know himself.

"What kind of question is that? Of course I'm happy." She lied, her eyes avoiding Richards.

Dick smiled sadly. "Good…" Kory remained confused, standing up straighter, she dusted off her pants. "If that's all…"

Richard seemed speechless for just a moment. "I, uh, think so." But even he, knew better. There would never be enough.

Kory inwardly scowled. Just who did Richard think he was playing? Making a scene in a store, playing with her emotions, than question whether she was happy or not!

"It was really nice seeing you, again Kory." Richard finally said, shaking Kory out of her thoughts. Richard held out of his hand, Kory shook it, and before she knew she was pulled into his embrace.

Kory than started giggling. "Dick, I now have food all over my shirt, thanks to you." She playfully glared at Richard, than started smiling a bit sadly. Richard used to do these things all the time in high school, completely oblivious to what he was doing and to the people around him.

Richard pulled away, scratching the back of his head. "Sorry." Kory just kept laughing, and he soon joined in.

"Kory." The two whipped around to see Xavier breathing fire at them.
