CLANDESTINE

NOTE: This is a note: So is this: And this: I don't own the Samurai Pizza Cats, although I do have a cat of my own called Speedy, do I still need copyright? No!

NOTE 2: This chapter contains lots of swearing but used in the right places...at least I think anyway...

It was the next day but in the afternoon. The parlour was packed as usual but nothing too difficult to handle. Customers got their pizza's on time, same to the deliveries and pizzas were made in double time and put in the ovens. Guido had taken an order can went to the kitchen only to find Polly on her own. Guido then felt sharp tense surrounding the round, as if everything stopped just to just look at them but Polly who didn't look at Guido, just kept on putting the toppings on the pizza's and then Guido spoke, trying to normal his voice. "Uh...Polly..." She still didn't look up. "Um...could...could I have two tuna specials with cheese and one chilli extreme please...?" Polly nodded but didn't look up. Guido felt he had to say something, he knew what he did the other day was wrong but by doing that he may have lost a friend. "Polly...please don't be like this..."

"What's that? Three pizza's? Okay, I'm on it!" With that Polly turned her back on Guido and started cutting some salad. Guido sighed and carried on taking more orders.

The parlour closed for twenty minutes for a lunch break. Francine was counting the money from the till to see how they were doing so far, Speedy and Polly were sitting with each other, chatting away and Guido was by the window, looking out while munching on his sandwich but then didn't seem to kind to be enjoying it. Speedy noticed this, he wrapped up his food and said "Polly, I'm just gonna sit next to Guido, okay?". Polly didn't like the idea but without giving anything away she smiled and said "That's fine".

Speedy went over to Guido and put his lunch down with a loud thud so Guido could notice him, Guido turned his head and saw Speedy with a deadpan face, a face full of questions. Guido coolly took a bite of his sandwich, looking at Speedy, maybe waiting for him to say something. Speedy then unwrapped his lunch. "How are you...?" he asked, then taking a bite of his roll. Guido knew the question didn't have a sense of warm feeling.

"Fine...I guess..."

"You thought about what I said last night?"

"Of course I did, it's the only thing on my mind right now?" said Guido.

"Really...wow, well I've got a lot of things on my mind right now too"

"Speedy, don't do this...not here, not now..."

"I haven't even said anything...I only wanted to ask you a question!" said Speedy, this made Guido sigh, making him feel like a small idiot. "Can you do a all day shift, Guido? Because I've got something planned for Polly, we're gonna spend all day with each other"

Guido swallowed his food and then said: "Gee, Speedy, I can't...I kinda got-"

"To be honest, I wasn't really asking, I'm telling you. You do afteral owe me a favour..."

Guido thought about this and then said: "So, let me get this straight...if I do this for you, then...we're cool, right? Even Stevens...? Um...is this forgiveness...?"

Speedy's mouth was open was open slightly and frowned, a disappointed look on his face. "Guido...what is forgiveness to you? Is it a card? Is it a present? A bunch of flowers? No, it isn't...you think that swapping shifts is forgiveness? Are you stupid? My God..." Speedy then laughs sarcastically. "Guido, mate, it's gonna take days, weeks maybe even months for me to forgive you, hell it may even take a year, who knows. Polly's pain and your forgiveness is for doing my shift? I can't fucking believe you, Anchovey" Guido was gonna get up and leave but had to hear what Speedy was about to finish. "No...the only thing I want back from you is...trust. I wanna trust my best friend again and the only way that's gonna happen is by you...that's why your my best man...I trust you...but you've gotta prove that yourself..."

Guido just nodded and couldn't think of a word to say. "I've had my say..." said Speedy and he got up and left, joining back with Polly. Guido again sighed, looked at his sandwich and chucked it in the bin.

A day later and it was the evening. The parlour was closed after another successful day. Speedy and Polly were still on their date, Francine was already in bed and Guido was lying in bed reading a book, the only light he had on was his desk lamp. Although he had been working all day, he didn't feel tired. Just then he heard the downstairs door open and slam, then some giggling, right then he knew it was Speedy and Polly back from their date, he looked at his clock and it read 11:09pm. He tried not to listen but the sounds easily echo upstairs.

"No, Speedy..." Giggled Polly. "Not don't here...they'll hear us"

"Let them hear..." said Speedy.

"Oh Jesus..." said Guido, he closed his book, after hearing pleasurable moan from Polly and put a pillow over his head, but he couldn't stay like that for long, so grabbed his MP3 player, put some headphones on and listen to music, turning the volume up.

Time went by quick, he had enjoyed the music so much that when he next looked at his clock it was 11:34. He took off his headphones and heard nothing from downstairs but heard someone was in the shower. At least those two have finished.thought Guido, at his point the shower was switch off and looking at his clock again for a second opinion descided to get ready for bed. He was about to take his uniform off until he heard a knock at his door. "Uh...it's open..."

He looked up and saw the door move open and then saw Polly standing there, wearing her nightgown, a rose red colour, practically matching her wet hair. It was tied tightly, the silk gown showing the shape of her figure. Guido didn't know what to say but saw she was holding something to her heart.

"You okay...?" she asked.

Guido didn't answer straight away but eventually began to talk. "You ignore me for days and now this...I did say I was sorry..."

"No, I needed time to think...I needed to think what I was gonna say..."

Guido was puzzled and Polly walked towards him, even the lampshade glow made Polly look beautiful and still sexy with wet hair. "I understand now...why your like this...but I needed the right words..." said Polly and produced her hand, opened it up and the locket glowed from the light. Guido gasped and gently took it from her hand. "You had it...all this time...?"

"I found it near the stairs...the day when you..." she stopped, looking at Guido's expression, he knew what she was going to say. Polly then went to sit next to Guido on his bed "Why didn't you say anything?" asked Polly.

"It doesn't matter now, none of it does...you've got Speedy..."

"You loved me..."

"Did..."

"Please, Guido, why didn't you say anything to me? I need to know..."

"Why, what does it matter?" Grumbled Guido.

"Because...I had feelings for you too..." said Polly, but she didn't blush.

Guido turned his head sharply at Polly, not believing what he heard. "Y-you...you did..."

"Yeah..."

"I didn't know...that..."

"It was just a small crush, really..." said Polly with a little laugh. "It was when you rescued us at the music studio...remember that...?"

"How can I forget...I felt like chopped liver when you, Speedy and Lucille got a music contract, I felt so left out..."

"Anyway, I loved your bad boy image, I felt like a little school girl...I found you really...sexy..." Polly went closer to Guido and he was reacting the same way.

"Yeah...?"

"Yes!"

Then their lips locked, it was slow at first, tongues were meeting then fighting...Guido gently laid Polly down and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, both breathing heavy, he kissed down her neck and Polly moaned, stroking his hair. "Ooohhhh...Speedy..." Guido then stopped, he looked at his situation and then jumped off Polly, backing away.

"My God..." he whimpered. "What am I doing? I-I can't do this...!"

Polly got up knowing what she did was wrong, a mistake. "Guido...I'm..."

"This is a mistake, this is my fault. How can I do this to my friend? I don't love you, it was just lust! That's all it ever was!"

"Guido, listen..."

"I can't believe I did that! God DAMN IT, I'M SO STUPID!"

"Guido, please" Polly grabbed Guido's arm, he tried backing off but she wouldn't let him. "Guido, it was just fun, okay, it meant nothing! It was just a kiss..."

"A kiss leading to sex! If you hadn't said...oh God, he's gonna find out..." cried Guido. "I can't let him find out."

"Guido, I was never EVER gonna let you go all the way...why do you think I said Speedy's name in the first place...?

"Damn it, I can't believe I did that...to you...and to Speedy...This is all MY fault, just because I couldn't control my feelings..."

"Are you listening?" said Polly, Guido then looked at her, trying to calm down. "It meant nothing! Guido, I DID have feeling for you, but it was a short spell, okay?! A long time ago..." Guido nodded. "It was just a silly kiss, sure, a kiss so hot you could boil eggs but nonetheless, a kiss and only a kiss. Do you understand?" Guido took a deep breath and then sighed, calming down slowly, he then sat back on his bed.

"What about the locket? God damn waste money for a piece of shit, convincing me I loved you...what a load of bollocks that was!"

"I thought it was really sweet, Guido, thank you...but I'm with Speedy..." Guido nodded, looked at the locket, the item in his hand was pointless and said "I'm gonna be alone forever..."

"No you won't..." said Polly. Guido looked up at her. "I'm sure you can replace that picture wfor someone else."

"Who...?" asked Guido.

"You know who...you've just never noticed her." said Polly, she then made her way to the door but before she left Guido had one more question to ask Polly. "Polly?" She turns around. "Do you REALLY love Speedy?"

Polly smiled straight away. "Speedy is brave, polite, charming, funny, full of courage and always looks out for his friends and putting me before him...yes, I REALLY love him, I always have...he's my life". Polly was about to leave but felt the need to say. "By the way, Anchovey...you're not a bad kisser..." and with that she left the room, leaving Guido with a teary smile and an odd chuckle.

It was the next day with the parlour opened and crowded as always with customers and Guido was full of energy. "Man, I love this job!" He said, with Speedy looking at him oddly. "Is that the real, Guido?" Polly chuckled. Just then Francine was finished on the phone. "Guido could you do a delivery?"

"Sure thing, Fran!" he said, excitedly.

Francine grabbed the delievery bag and gave it to Guido, who at the same time touched her hand holding the bag. It was tense at first but Francine looked into Guido's eyes and he did the same, she started to blush. He has lovely eyes... they both chuckle at their weird moment. "So...uh...you better...um...you better get going..." she said.

"Uh...yeah, sure..." He was about to jump in the oven cannon but went over to Francine. "Fran...uh...?"

"Yeah...?"

"Do you wanna...uh, you know...got out...?"

"Guido..."

"It's okay...I understand...I know the rules between managers...so...I'll just-"

"Yeah, I'm free tonight...!" said Francne, a slight blush line arcross her face.

"Oh..." smiled Guido. "Uh...great...yeah, we'll go out at...?

"Eight?"

"Eight, yeah, that's perfect...I can't wait...so...yeah, I better go." He turns around and jumps in the oven. Francine had a huge smile on her face, she goes over to the plastic gun, places the direction and shoots out Guido from the cannon. "He likes me..." she said quietly, the smile was never going to leave.

It was another evening and Speedy and Polly decided to stay in now that Guido and Francine were out. They were both on the balcony, looking at the lights of Little Tokyo in the picture perfect night. "Isn't that beautiful, Speedy?" She said pointing at the stars. "The city and the stars are like one".

"Polly, I think your beautiful..." he said, straightforward and she blushes. "No light nor star can match your beauty" Polly giggled but then stopped when he knelt on one knee and producing a small box. "Polly Esther? Will you do the honour and be my wife?" said Speedy and slight hint trembling in his voice. He opened the box and inside was a blue pearl diamond, sparking from the full moon. Her tears over flowed but with joy and her answer was. "Yes...oh Speedy, yes I will, with all my heart, yes!" Speedy was over joyed and they embraced passionately, the lovers finally made for each other and a great future towards them. Polly then looked at her diamond and put it on her finger. "Speedy, it's beautiful..."

"I got the blue...because it reminded me of your lovely eyes". said Speedy, so happy now what could ruin it.

"Oh Speedy, I love you so much!"

Speedy whispers back "I love you too, my kitten"

And with that, the lovers embraced again, the passionate event was perfect to end the night and a perfect start for a bright future.

THE END.
