Chapter 3

… he placed his finger on her lips while still holding her in place against him with one arm. "Shh, no need to be ashamed, I've wanted to do this all day" he said as he closed the gap between them, kissing her passionately.

Lenalee was frozen on the spot, Lavi's lips forcefully and yet gently massaging her own. Her thoughts came to a sudden halt, part of her wanting to simply melt away in his kisses, in his arms, and forget everything. The other part of her wanted to slap him hard, it was after all his fault they no longer were together. Once coming to her senses she let her pride take control and smacked the red-head across the face with all the strength she could muster.

"Get off!" the raven haired teenage girl pushed him away, trying hard not to let her uneasiness show. "That is it! I don't want you near me! Leave me alone!"

"Lenalee …"

"No, Lavi no more, leave me alone."

Reluctantly the redhead left, the firemen had arrived and he knew she would be safe. His patience however was wearing thin, the situation he was in was growing more complex. He sighed, and turned to look toward Lenalee, from where he stood she looked so small. She seemed vulnerable and meek, but he knew better. Lenalee was strong and stubborn, though at the same time he felt the need to protect her. Just as he was going to turn and leave he saw a blood red convertible 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo parking in the driveway of his ex-girlfriend's house.

"What the …" he muttered as he saw who it was that stepped out of the extremely luxurious sports car, Cross Marian. "Is that why you want to be left alone?" he said in a mock sweet voice, "Well, now I know better than to bother you when your expecting someone".

Lavi ran home and pushed his front door open, storming up to his room, slamming both doors behind him. To which a displeased Bookman uttered 'damn teenagers and their raging hormones'. Lavi pulled out magazines, clothes, and other random objects from beneath his bed, and angrily tossed them all aside.

"Fine, Lenalee you want to play that game, then let's play." He continued to rummage through his things, when finally coming across his desired object. "My dear Lena-baby, just remember that you asked for this" the redhead smirked thinking of how it made her angry when he used such a name for her.

"Hey, Lavi what are you doing here?" the brunette asked sweetly, smiling at him in the cool evening light, she looked like an angel from heaven to him.

"Well, I remember you saying that it made you nervous to walk home alone in the evenings, so I waited outside until you were done." his goofy grin grew as her cheeks flushed a light pink. " I wanted to keep you company on your way home. So, you wouldn't feel nervous"

"Did you really wait out here since school ended? You could have caught a cold, it isn't exactly warm outside." She asked forcing a worried angry look, though he could see she was keeping herself from smiling.

" Oh, big deal it has only been a few hours, and besides I would wait in the bitter cold just to see your smiling face forever." Lavi said putting his arm around her shoulders, and pulling her close to him.

" I know you're lying," she said giggling.

" Ok, so maybe not forever, after four days or so I would die from dehydration, but I would wait a long time."

"And suddenly that doesn't seem so romantic anymore." she laughed wrapping her arm around his waist as they walked holding each other.

"Lena-baby you are the one that ruined it's romantic tone in the first place." Lavi said smirking with his green eye closed. Then receiving a soft jab to the stomach.

"Don't go giving me weird nick names! People have normal names for a reason." she said punching him playfully again. He laughed and embraced her, gently kissing her forehead "Your just too cute ya' know that right."

Remembering her warmth made him feel empty again. The emerald eyed male sighed and dropped to his bed. ' If we could just go back to how it was…"

"Lavi!" Bookman yelled from downstairs.

"What is it? Effing old panda" the red-head yelled back, whispering the last part.

"Someone is here to see you!" The old panda sounded unhappy (as always) so Lavi decided best not to further upset him and obey. Once arriving at the bottom of the steps, he was face to face with Chomesuke.

"Hi Lavi, how are you?" she said embracing him.

"Fine, you?" he said gently pushing her away. It was not that he wasn't happy to see her, but at the moment he was preoccupied with other things.

"I'm good, I just got back from vacation, and well, I mean we have hung out in such a long time. And I thought maybe you'd want to go somewhere, together?" blushing she smiled at him.

"Oh, that's cool that you came over here after your vacation and all," 'Man, now what? I'll sound like a jerk if I say no, but..' he thought to himself.

"I mean if you don't want to I completely understand," she added sadly.

"Sure, let's go, I mean I got nothing better to do." smiling he said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Oh, okay," she said blushing more intensely. He noticed that she was smiling brightly, 'Lenalee would have pretended to be mad if I'd ever said that. But then again, I'd never would have said that to her. I would have been at her door daily' he thought his smile slowly fading. Why did she have such a huge affect on him, why did everything revolve around her? 'I wish you'd comeback, Lenalee.'

"I know exactly where we can go, Lavi." the small brunette said smiling up at him.

"Well, then lead the way my lovely lady." Lavi forced a smile, and grabbed a sweatshirt as he left the house.

Meanwhile Lenalee sat in the passenger seat of Cross's luxurious car, she fiddled with the hem of her shorts.

"I'm sorry I cause you so much trouble" she said turning her violet eyes towards the red-headed driver.

"My dear, you never cause me any trouble" he placed his hand on hers and held it. "I will do whatever you need me to do" he said pulling her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it. The raven-haired beauty smiled nervously and looked away, directing her big purple orbs towards the window. Her mind slowly drifting to thoughts of a different red-head.

When she spotted a spark of red among the crowd of people in the city, her thoughts halted. 'Lavi?' she thought immediately. There he was with arm wrapped around Chomesuke. 'So if it's not one it's the other, thanks for reminding me why I can't be with you.'
