SEXUAL TENSION.

The weekend was over. Each of their jobs was able to begin. Kairi's fist day on the job actually. She lay in bed, too anxious to sleep as her kitten lay curled up in a blanket on the floor. Her eyes heavily looked at the ceiling. "Go to bed Kairi," she kept repeating quietly to sooth herself. Eventually the fatigue kicked in and she passed out.

Morning quickly came. By the time Sora got up, Kairi was already dressed and finishing her breakfast with their kitten, Zala drinking milk next to her. As she took a bit of her toast, she turned her head to look at him. "Hewwo," she mumbled with her mouth full of crumbs.

Sora ruffled his hair that was twisted and turned in different ways, flat on the back from sleeping on his back, sticking up from laying on his sides, and awkward marks from the pillow case on his face.. Kairi finished her last mouthful and pushed herself out of the chair and said, "take care of Zala before you head off to do whatever you do," Sora nodded. "Don't kill her!" He nodded again.

Kairi arrived at the snack shop where Namine was setting up. They were required to wear cute, little dresses that were frilly at the bottom and had a apron that tied around the waste. Namine placed a candle in the center of each table before people started to arrive.

Namine began serving an elder couple, who requested a window to look outside and not being really busy, they were allowed to. Kairi began walking to the booth with the menus. "Hello," she began wile handing the menu to him. "Our special today is Namine," she smiled slyly and Roxas who rolled his eyes at her comment. "It's a bit uncomfortable at first, but you get use to the flavor at first-"

"Just, shut up Kairi," he finally said.

"I'll be right back," Kairi quickly left to fetch Namine who was in the kitchen getting two glasses of water. "NAMINE!"

She placed the glasses on the counter and looked at her with concern. "What?"

"I need help! I-It's my first time on the job a-and- I don't want to mess up! Help me with this one costumer! I need to see how it's done!" She sounded pretty convincing, pausing after frantically repeating each word.

Namine gave her a bit of a suspicious look but ignored it and walked out with the glasses, which she gave to the couple before helping Kairi's case. She walked behind Kairi when she abruptly stopped. Namine began to speak but was quickly pushed into the booth. Her blue eyes looking around frantically and confused.

"Kai-"

"You two enjoy! I'll be back in a bit!" She left to go help other people.

Namine turned to fit conformable in her seat, looking at Roxas with embarrassment. "I-I didn't know-"

Roxas cut her off. "I wanted to surprise you."

"You surely did. Can I ask why you picked today?"

"Kairi's working. She said she'll cover you while you ate with me," he took the menu and began looking through it. "What do you suggest?"

Namine took the other menu and looked at it, trying to hide her face that was as red as a tomato. "T-The spaghetti is good. But it's a bit big."

"How about we share that?"

"Share?" Namine repeated his question.

"You said it was big so why not just share?"

Before Namine could respond, Kairi returned and had a big grin on her face. "Aren't you guys cuties! I can feel the romance radiating off of you guys!" Namine wasn't one for angry glares but didn't hesitate with Kairi. "I wish my love life was like this-"

Roxas said under his breath. "I thought yours would be more interesting than this-" Namine kicked him under the table.

"Anyways- Do you have anything in mind?" She asked while taking out a notepad to write their order.

"Are you up for sharing?" Roxas asked her again.

"That would be fine-"

"And you guys are sharing. That's so cute!"

"-We'll have the spaghetti," he finished where he was before he was interrupted.

"I'll bring you guys something to drink while you wait for your 'spaghetti'"

Roxas rolled his blue eyes as Kairi spoke. Namine's similar shaded eyes popped out from her red face. Roxas pretended not to notice her face even though he did find it cute and gave a soft smirk when he looked at her.

On the other hand, Kairi was trying to get use to working. She cautiously brought over the two plates for the elder couple. "The Ravioli," she placed it in front of the woman, hopping it was right. "And the sandwich," and place it in front of the man. Thankfully she was right and placed the correct meal in front of the correct person.

While she looked at them, her sigh was overheard by the elder woman who looked at her. "Is something troubling you?"

Kairi looked up from staring into space. "Just, thinking. You guys seem happy."

The man spoke. "We are," he looked over at his wife and cupped her hands and smiled. "I couldn't be happier with anyone else," the two stared into each others eyes.

Kairi stood there, close to crying because her love life wasn't like that. "Enjoy your meal, you two," and she turned around, taking deep breaths to calm her nerves.

She walked back to the kitchen, a bit sulky. First, the elder couple was happily in love after all these years and secondly, Namine and Roxas. They were going to be like that older couple. Kairi knew she was a hopeless romantic, but this bad? She looked over at the one chef who was walking, his name was Demyx. She watched him singing to some song on the radio as he was dancing while letting the meat cook, but stopped when he saw Kairi standing there.

"H-How long have you been there?"

"Long enough."

Demyx cleared his throat. "It gets boring at these hours."

"I can imagine. Namine's having a little date right now-"

"This must be for her then, huh?" Referring to the meatballs, Kairi nodded. "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous?" Kairi said in a louder voice. "Why would you say that?"

"Well how you reacted-" but Kairi cut him off.

"I don't want, Roxas," emphasizing his name. "If that's what you're thinking!" He shook his head, unconvinced. "Him and Namine are meant to be. I guess. I'm just sick of being around all this lovey stuff without someone."

Demyx scrapped the meat into a ball and placed it into the cooked noodles. "I heard of a little birdy that there's someone who likes you~"

"You're messing with me."

"My little bird, excuse me, our little birdy. He knows his stuff, he got it directly from the source," he finished pouring the sauce and handed the plate over into Kairi's hands.

"Our little birdy? I know this person?"

"Possibly."

She took the plate and began walking to leave. "You're not going to tell me, are you?"

"You should already know by now."

Kairi left the kitchen, thinking on who it could be but no one came to mind. She placed the plate in the middle of their table but didn't say anything. Namine looked over at her with a worried look, not that she wasn't embarrassing things said but because she didn't say anything embarrassing wasn't normal.

"Is everything alright?" Namine asked.

"Demyx told me something."

Namine slapped her hand on her forehead. "That son of a -"

Roxas stared, his eyes slightly widened. "You mean, he told you?"

"Well, slightly- wait. You guys know?"

"You don't know?" Roxas asked to make sure.

"I don't but YOU do?"

"I know nothing," Roxas put his palms in the air next to his face to clear himself.

"Namine?" She refrained eye contact. "You DO know," Kairi leaned over the table. "You should tell me."

"I don't think that would be the best idea-" she squeaked in her seat, sliding down to avoid her.

Kairi was about to speak but some more people came into the restaurant. "I'll be back, eventually," she left to go greet the new people.

Namine sighed deeply with her hand on her chest. "That was close."

Roxas was already eating their food. "You think we should tell her? I mean she'll never figure it out."

"I don't think he'll be able to hold it in too much longer," she took out the fork and stole the meat ball Roxas was about to eat, she had a cheeky smile.

Namine finally returned to work after being greeted by Kairi who was being pushy, constantly asking who it was but she refused to tell her until Kairi gave up for the day. When the day finally ended, Kairi looked at the tips she got.

"The old couple gave me 20 munny!"

Namine smiled. "Aren't you lucky Roxas came."

"I am! I got all your tips," The two girls opened the door to leave and head home. To their surprise, Sora was walking down the same road. Namine smiled at her but stopped when Kairi looked at her.

"How was work?" Kairi asked Sora.

"I just sit up there and blow the whistle every once in a while."

"You get a good tan, I'm jealous," Kairi pouted.

Namine quickly darted out of the way. "I just remembered. I have to go.. this way tonight! Bye Kairi!"

"Bye.. Namine?" She said, confused.

It was just her and Sora. Sora's hair was a bit wet from the water, probably went swimming for a little bit. He was also nicely tanned and was glowing in the sunset. Kairi was just a darker shade of white, barely tan.

She tugged on Sora's shirt. "You have the best job. You do nothing!"

"But I have to make sure people don't drown."

"Doesn't seem too hard."

"Yeah, you're right," he said teasingly.

Kairi softly pushed him as they walked back to their place which wasn't too far. Once the returned Zala quickly jumped into Kairi's arms.

"Did you miss me?" The kitten purred.

Sora ran his hands through his hair like he did earlier and felt the salt in it. "I need to take a shower-"

Riku was sitting at the table with a bowl of cereal. "Kai, you're back."

"And you're here?" She said in a bit of a surprised voice. "You're usually home late."

"I had the day off, that reminds me. When's your day off?"

"Surprisingly, tomorrow. They just randomly give me breaks. I'm going to try work weekends, you know, for the best tips."

"How about you go to the club with me tomorrow?"

"The one you work at?" Kairi was clarifying.

Sora snored and stormed into the bathroom as Riku began speaking again. "Yeah, but I can take a small break to hang out with you."

"That'd be great. I have to look nice, don't I?"

"If you want to-"

"OF COURSE! It's a chance to actually dress nice! Ooo i'm so excited!"

Riku smiled and took a spoonful of his dinner. "I'm glad."

Zala leaped out of her arms and onto the table, pleading for the milk in the bowl which Riku allowed her to drink.

"This kitten, she's cute."

"I was hoping you'd let her stay. Sora and I would have kept her even if you didn't want her."

"I love kittens actually," he didn't.

"I'm surprised."

"I don't see why you would think that, have a little faith in me, Kai!"

"I will now-" Kairi stretched and let out a yawn. "-And I should head to bed!"

"Goodnight," he said softly while getting up to ruffle her hair.

She gave him a childish look and pushed his hand away. "Goodnight, I'll look forward to tomorrow."

"You won't forget it," Kairi lazily walked into her room with the cat following her. "Just you see. You'll never forget it."

Oh the next chapter, it will be intense. I promise you that. You all will love it.

I just gotta write it d:
