Chapter Two: And the Charades Continues…
Sunlight escaped through the window curtains and Naminé made a slight moan as she opened her eyes slowly. "I was having a good dream too…" She tried to move her arms so that she can sit up, but couldn't. Her eyes then widened and checked her surroundings as last night's events came rushing through her mind. "Roxas? Roxas' arm is around my waist, under my shirt and he's shirtless! Eek!" Naminé then pulled Roxas away from her as she got off the bed.
"Huh?" Roxas mumbled lazily as he sat up. "What's…what's happening?"
"YOU BASTARD!" Naminé threw a pillow at him.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Roxas whimpered and rubbed his head. "That was a hard hit."
"You… you took advantage of me!" Naminé gasped as she backed away slowly while hugging a pillow. "And put a shirt on!" "Even though I don't mind the view… Holy crap! I've seen him shirtless before! What am I thinking? He probably raped you!"
"It's probably all a misunderstanding…" Roxas said as he got up slowly, taking caution of his actions because who knows what Naminé would do next.
"I don't think so! You, bed, my waist, your arm – " Naminé had a difficult time forming a sentence.
"Let me explain –" Roxas was cut off when they heard a knock on the door.
"Roxas, Naminé?" a female voice was heard through the wooden door.
"I'll get it," Naminé glared as she took the initiative. She opened the door to find Kairi with a big smile on her face.
"Hi, Naminé! I just wanted to tell you guys that I made breakfast and everyone's already in the kitchen ea –" Kairi paused as she saw Roxas, who is apparently shirtless, walk up behind Naminé. " – ting."
"Hi, Kairi." Roxas greeted while scratching his messy hair and yawning.
"Oh, hi Roxas. Did you guys sleep well?" Kairi smiled and her eyebrow twitched. "OH MY GOSH! They did do it! Ahh…"
"Sorry, Kairi. We just woke up." Naminé laughed nervously. "We'll be there soon. See ya!" and closed the door.
Kairi stood there frozen behind the door and walked away slowly as she pulled Riku who was walking nearby into their room to tell him everything she saw.
When Naminé closed the door shut, she turned to Roxas with her arms crossed and tapping her right foot. Roxas took this as a sign to explain the current situation.
"Okay, here's the thing. It got hot at night so I took off my shirt, okay?" Roxas clasped his hands as if he was begging her not to hurt him.
"And your arm that was wrapped around my bare waist?" Naminé raised an eyebrow.
"Was it really?" Roxas smirked.
"You pervert!" Naminé punched him in the arm and walked up to the drawers and closet to grab some clothes.
"Once again, my hand probably slipped!" Roxas kept grinning with his hands behind his head.
"You are so full of yourself!" Naminé walked into the bathroom. "And put a shirt on!"
"A shirt on? You know you like the view." Roxas smirked some more and gave her a wink.
"WHAT!" Naminé soon felt her cheeks burn and slammed the bathroom door shut.
"She is too fun to mess with." Roxas smiled to himself as he made the bed and picked up the thrown objects on the wooden floor.
It took Roxas and Naminé a good twenty minutes to freshen up and greeted everyone in the kitchen.
"Hey guys!" Sora greeted while munching on a pile of pancakes.
"So how did you two sleep?" Olette gave then a sly grin.
"…Yeah," Hayner did the same and smirked.
Kairi choked on her orange juice and walked to the kitchen sink. Roxas and Naminé just shot death glares to the brunette and blonde pair and took a seat while grabbing a plate.
"Hey did you guys notice that the heat rose last night? It was so hot!" Sora complained as he took a sip of his juice.
"I told you," Roxas mumbled to Naminé.
They all continued eating breakfast for a while. It was a quiet morning and everyone was pretty hungry. Roxas and Naminé just kept eating to avoid any unnecessary conversations from Hayner or Olette.
"So, what's the plan for the day?" asked Hayner while sitting back with his hands behind his head.
"How about we ask the guests?" Naminé asked. "Is there any place in particular you guys would like to visit?"
"We could go to the beach," Olette suggested.
"We didn't bring any beach supplies like swimsuits and stuff." Kairi replied.
"Oh, then we should head off the mall and go shopping!" Olette cheered.
Roxas smacked his head and groaned, "Aww, Olette, I thought we were going to avoid the mall this summer!"
"Roxas, they need swimsuits and I don't think we'll be able to avoid the beach for the rest of the summer." Naminé arched him an eyebrow and crossed her arms.
"Then it's set! Let's go the mall!" Olette smiled.
Roxas and Hayner just shook their head in defeat. They knew that Olette gets a little too excited every time they make a trip to the mall. Naminé just deviously grinned and patted their back, "Don't worry. It'll be fun!"
Everyone headed towards their room to get dressed after cleaning up and washing the dishes. Soon afterwards they were all in their cars, driving to the nearest shopping mall.
"Wow, they really expanded the mall since the last time I came here." Kairi smiled.
"A mall's, a mall," Sora grunted.
"Yeah, I agree with him!" Hayner and Roxas stood behind Sora.
"Men, you just don't understand," Olette nodded her head. She then pulled Naminé and Kairi by her side, "Well, then we'll see you guys later!"
"We're separating?" Roxas asked.
"You just can't live without me, can't you?" Naminé grinned.
"You know it!" Roxas grinned back as he held her by the waist.
"Ahem," Kairi cleared her throat, "We'll just meet you guys at the food court around noon?"
"Yeah, sure," Riku agreed and they all separated.
"Okay first store we should go to, the bikini store!" Olette leaped for joy.
"Sure…" Kairi laughed hesitantly.
"Don't mind her at all." Naminé whispered to Kairi.
"I see…" Kairi took a glance at Olette who was a few steps ahead of them.
"Hey, Naminé you should get a new swimsuit too, instead of shorts." Olette elbowed her best friend.
Naminé rolled her eyes, "No, Olette. We talked about this. I am not going to reveal my legs to sick minded teenage boys at the beach."
"Aww, come on! For Roxas?" Olette whispered.
"What! Especially not for him!" Naminé fumed. She knew Olette was purposely teasing her now.
They walked inside the store for a while. It seemed Kairi was a bit indecisive because there were so many selections. Naminé was on the other side of the store checking out the snorkeling gear.
"Hey, Kairi this pink one would suit you!" Olette handed her the bikini set.
"Oh, I like it. Thanks, Olette." Kairi cheered and went off to the dressing room to try it on.
Olette bought a few things for herself and Kairi bought everything she needed for the beach. It was still early so they visited other stores before heading off the food court.
"What store should we check out next?" Olette asked.
"Well I have everything I need. What about you, Naminé?" Kairi asked.
"Um, I'm not really planning to buy anything, but I am starving!" Naminé replied.
"We just ate a few hours ago. I swear you and Roxas just keep eating and eating, yet you guys still look good! So unfair!" Olette pouted.
"That is so Roxas!" Kairi giggled.
"Tell me about it." Olette shook her head.
"Okay then, let's go to this music store," Naminé pointed and they all entered the store.
"Hey, Naminé!" a girl with light brown hair greeted her.
"Hi, Selphie!" Naminé greeted back.
"Hey, you're off duty today. What are you doing here?" Selphie asked.
"I'm just here with some of my friends. This is Kairi by the way." Naminé introduced and Kairi waved back.
"Wow, Naminé, you work at a music store? That's so cool!" Kairi eyes sparkled.
"Yup," Naminé smiled back.
"Hey guys!" Hayner waved at them.
"Oh look the guys are here too," Kairi pointed and walked up to Sora and Riku who had bags on both hands. "You guys did a lot of shopping for once!"
"Olette you just can't help yourself can't you?" Hayner placed an arm around her while taking her bags and they walked out of the store.
"You didn't buy anything, Naminé?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah, I was kind of busy looking at the snorkeling stuff," Naminé scratched her head, "but came to the conclusion that I didn't have enough money."
"I see…" Roxas wrapped his arm around her while following behind the rest of the group. "We should go check it out and I might make a deal with you."
"What deal?" Naminé glared at him.
"Hmm, that I don't have to do your laundry?"
"Yeah, right. Forget that! You're still doing my laundry." Naminé stuck her tongue at him and Roxas just pouted.
"Ugh, those two being all cutesy with each other just irritates me!" Kairi glared towards Roxas and Naminé who were behind them.
"Ah, jeez Kairi." Riku just sighed and Sora did the same.
They soon reached the food court and it took them quite sometime before they found a seat. The mall was filled with people of all ages everywhere. Roxas and Naminé were left behind to watch their seats while the rest went out to buy food.
"Roxas what did I tell you about being mushy! I mean your arm is constantly around my waist!" Naminé grumbled.
"Well that's how couples are! Just look at Hayner and Olette. They're always so giggly with each other!" Roxas pointed out to Hayner and Olette who were both playfully teasing each other.
"What about Kairi and Riku? They don't even hold hands." Naminé cocked an eyebrow.
"They don't?" Roxas eyes lit up.
"Yeah…" Naminé replied.
"That means it's working! Kairi and I might have a chance." Roxas stood up and clasped his hands.
"Don't make a scene!" Naminé demanded while covering her face.
"Hey you two, having fun?" Hayner asked while placing his tray on the table.
"The time of our lives!" Naminé rolled her eyes.
"You know, I like your little charades. I mean when were with Kairi, Riku and Sora, I don't have to listen to your constant blabbering and arguments with each other." Olette laughed. Both Roxas and Naminé then threw a fry at her. "Hey!"
"Come on, Naminé. Let's go get some food." Roxas held out his hand to her and she accepted as she got up.
"Aww, aren't you two just the sweetest pair!" Olette teased.
"Whatever," Naminé stuck her tongue out as she held on to Roxas and walked away.
"So what should we eat today?" Roxas asked.
"Please, you know we eat anything," Naminé replied.
Roxas laughed, "You're right. How about tacos?"
"Sounds good." Naminé replied.
--xx--
"All this pretending to be a couple is so hard, Riku!" Kairi whined. "I mean we don't even do any of that public display of affection and stuff."
"And I'm not even going to participate. I still intend to ask other girls out." Riku smirked.
"Then just stop this entire charade." Sora suggested.
"No way! Even if we did 'break up,' Roxas and Naminé are still together." Kairi replied. She then faced Roxas and Naminé who were in the other side of the food court, ordering their food and Kairi just sighed.
"Well, I'm hungry, so I'm going back to the table," Riku said as he walked away.
"Come on, Kairi. Just try to have fun this summer and think about something else other than Roxas." Sora smiled and tried to comfort her as he led her to the table.
"Oh, fine." Kairi huffed. Sora patted her back with a nervous laugh, knowing he wasn't really helping. The two headed towards the table and ate with the others.
