I have oneshots to do as well. Shit.

Black Mariah
Chapter Two: Mariah/Kai
Gossip. Mariah loved a good gossip. And gossiping she was, with one of her best friends, Hilary. Mariah took a sip of her tea as Hilary told her about how she caught Kenny looking at porn. Mariah never thought that Kenny was that sort of person.
"It wasn't even a guy and a girl. It was two girls," Hilary said, also taking a sip of her tea.
"Well, guys like two girls together, don't they?"
"Well, yeah. But then they complain when us girls like two guys together. They say it's wrong."
"That's men for you. All they're good for is sex."
Hilary raised her eyebrows at Mariah, who didn't notice the look she was being given. Instead, she was looking about the café that they were sat in, at all the hot men that were sat down with their girlfriends. Some were holding hands with women who looked old enough to be their Mother!
Mariah drained her cup of the rest of the tea, and stood up. Hilary followed suit, deciding not to say anything about the comment Mariah had made. They put on their jackets, and stepped out onto the street. They both shivered, the café being warmer than it was out on the street, and they both looked at each other, silently questioning where they should head to next.
Over Hilary's shoulder, on the opposite side of the road, she saw a certain guy with two-toned hair, walking away and getting further into the distance. Kai. Mariah smiled, and bid Hilary goodbye, rushing off to follow Kai, and leaving Hilary standing in front of the café looking completely bewildered.
Mariah rushed down the street as fast as she could without running. She was slowly gaining on Kai, but didn't want to catch him right up. She wanted to follow him for a while, and see how long it took him to notice that he was being followed.
Mariah watched as Kai went down an alleyway to the left, and she frowned. Why was he going down there? She figured that it was either a shortcut, or that he had cottoned onto her. As she also turned down the alleyway, her golden eyes locked with Kai's violet ones. Mariah smiled at him as she neared him, and he raised his eyebrows, and crossed his arms.
"Care to explain why you were following me?" Kai asked coolly.
"I was trying to catch you up," Mariah shrugged.
"That's a lie. You had plenty of opportunities to catch me up. You hid round corners when I turned around, for God's sake," Kai snapped.
Mariah smirked.
"OK, so I was following you. I was seeing how long it would take for you to notice."
Kai's eyebrows were raised further.
"You followed me to see how long it would take me to notice?"
"Yup."
"Well, for your information, I noticed as soon as you started hurrying to catch me a little. You have the subtlety of an elephant hiding behind a lamppost."
Mariah giggled.
"I didn't know you had a sense of humour, Kai," she said, fluttering her eyelashes.
"I don't. I was being serious. You really don't know the meaning of subtlety."
"You know, I admire you… You're always so honest," Mariah said, still fluttering her eyelashes.
Kai raised an eyebrow (they had lowered), and narrowed his eyes. Was Mariah flirting with him? No, she wouldn't. She was with Ray. Kai sighed, and decided to change the subject quickly, and then get the Hell away from her as soon as possible.
"How's Ray?" he asked.
"Oh, Ray's… Y'know… Ray. He's fine," Mariah asked, slowly getting closer to Kai, and doing her irresistible pout. "But I bet he's not as good in bed as you are."
Kai raised his eyebrows again, fearing that if they kept being raised like this, that they'd disappear into his hair. Kai was beginning to feel a bit nervous, because Mariah was way too close. But for him to step back would cause him to show weakness, and he did not want to show any weakness.
But once Mariah was as close as she could possibly get, Kai was thinking that it probably would've been a good idea to have stepped back, no matter how weak it had made him look. He continued to watch as Mariah leaned right into him and pressed her lips to his.
Kai's immediate reaction was shock. Once the initial shock had worn off, a little part of Kai wanted to kiss back. Mariah was a very good kisser. But the majority of Kai knew that Mariah was Ray's girlfriend, and that this was wrong. Kai pushed Mariah away, and she stumbled back slightly, looking confused.
"Why'd you push me away? You were enjoying it," she asked, smiling a little.
"Because it was wrong," Kai replied, frowning. "You're Ray's girlfriend. You shouldn't go around kissing other people!"
"Spare me the lecture, Kai," Mariah said. "You were enjoying it just as much as I was."
Kai just stared at her.
"Anyway, pleasurable as this has been, I must be off home to my lovely boyfriend. You know where to find my if you want more," Mariah said, winking and walking away.
Kai watched as Mariah left. He couldn't believe that one girl was so prepared to hurt a guy who loved her, just so she could get her own kicks.
A/N: I just dribbled on myself. No, seriously. I have a bloody wet patch on my leg, now!
What am I doing wrong, people? This chapter was shorter than the last, surely! Hopefully the chapters will get longer once the lemons start appearing…
Review?
