"You should have seen her face!" Eames said cracking up in laughter. "She looked like she had done the naughtiest thing she had ever done in her entire life!" The company who were with Eames cracked up. As I walked closer I saw who they were. There were Arthur and Eames (obviously...) with Dominic and... Yusuf?! I haven't seen him since we did the Inception last year, yet there he is, laughing with the other guys like old times. I sometimes have wondered what ever happened to him... Oh, and Saito too. According to the newspapers, Saito is the head of the company he claimed from Mr Fischer. Good for him I say, after all of the going into limbo... I wonder if he's a little bit like Mal or sort of like The Doctor from Doctor Who sort of... Wondering if his life is a dream...
"Hey Araidne, your up!" Eames said like a kid who just got out of school.
"Yes Eames, I am up," I said gleaming. "You were telling your extractor friends here about the little peck on the cheek you got I gather?"
"Yes I was," his British accent bleeding through as it naturally did. "And how you reacted to the parts of the dream that Arthur and I built in. Like the fact you JUMPED off Arthur's paradox was plain genius!"
"Of course Hanj why would I do anything other?" I said in a British accent. All of the boys laughed because they were in on the joke while Eames just stood there blushing.
"So obviously you worked out that I was Hanj..."
"Your accent kept bleeding through Eames... And anyway, how long has Yusuf been a trained forger?"
There was a short silence, then Yusuf interjected before Eames could comment. "I have had to forge other people's concoctions all my life, and then just alter or modify as suits."
"Isn't that cheating?" Dom asked while scratching his chin. It was the first time I had ever seen him clueless or completely confused. It was so funny that I had to cover my mouth to conseal my giggles.
"Is extraction cheating Dom?" Arthur counteracted with a smirk. "Anyways... Guys, can Araidne and I just have a moment?"
"So you can do stuff together privately? Eww get a room!" Eames squealed like a girl.
"This is the room," I laughed as the boys and Eames left the main part of the warehouse. Before leaving Eames winked at me and mouthed the words 'go get him babe'.
The first time Arthur and I had any real contact with each other away from the team was when Arthur showed me how to create paradoxes. It was then that I started to have a slight crush on him. I don't know whether it was his looks or his intellectual side that hooked me in, but once it did, I was hooked in for ages... And it wasn't until the inception job that Arthur started to show his slight crush for me too by 'distracting' the projections through giving me a kiss. But now, after Eames revealed that Arthur had a crush on me, I know that he really truly loves me.
His hand and mine interlocked once the door of the warehouse closed. Arthur's hands were starting to get clammy and slippery but I didn't care, I had Arthur, that's all I cared about. He was the first one out of us both to make a move. He put his hand behind my back and lunged in to give me a kiss. I didn't object, his lips on mine were pure bliss for the eight and a half seconds they were pressed together. I wished we could have done more but Arthur just told me through his eyes that it would just have to wait for another time. Arthur then went and called for the guys to come back from the other room. I was melting like ice... Only without the brain freeze.
"So," Eames said after all the other guys had left. "Was that fun or what?"
"Annoying you mean! I thought I had really been captured originally! It was only when I got into your 'reality' that I had a feeling..."
"Of love? Lust? Or was it longing?" Eames said in his amourous deep voice.
"None of those genius..." I cackled to myself.
"Well, if you are SUCH a genius," Arthur said. "Were we acting when you came into the room and hid behind Dominic's desk?"
I was worried they were going to ask this intellectual question... The killer. The thing that makes people attractive to Great White Sharks... "Ummm..." I stuttered.
"Final answer?"
"You were both acting!" I shouted. "Arthur, you never have acted murderous towards Eames in the time that I have known you... But yet I still went along with it!"
"Enjoy your cuppa yesterday morning at Starbucks, darling?"
"Eames, what in the world did you do to my low fat mocha coffee!?"
"What I do to all of my victims..."
"You put timed sedative in, but there was only marshmallows? It wasn't chunky."
"I am the forger. Is there any more to say?" Eames replied with a satisfied, triumphant smile. I thought for a while, trying to think of witty comebacks but Arthur was already one step ahead, "I think Araidne has been hassled enough for the day Eames... But I wouldn't mind hassling her lips!" He attacked like lightning. His lips were on mine and his tongue was swishing around in my mint flavored (I had just had a mentos) mouth. Eames was watching, wondering what would happen next. I had a feeling that watching other people kiss was how Eames got his daily kick, and I really wanted to look at his trousers and see whether he had the 'e' word happening... But I did not get the chance because before I knew it, Arthur was pushing me over to the deck chairs that we use for extraction and dream tests. Eames walked out humming to himself the tune of 'Toxic' by Britney Spears. "Arthur..." I mumbled, after ten long amourous minutes of him smothering me in kisses.
"Yes Araidne?" He drifted off, gazing into my eyes.
"I was wondering if we could do this another time... But in a hotel room or... At my house?"
"Yeah... Sorry about that, got a little carried away..." And HIGHLY obsessed Arthur! Don't forget that.
So, anyway that is the story of how Arthur and I kissed in reality, and how Eames and Arthur tricked me in the most wicked way possible... It was intoxicating, exciting, annoying and naughty all at the same time!
