Title: Unwanted

Chapter 2: October

Characters: Minako/Rei

OCTOBER

Almost very night she came by my room and stayed till sunrise. It was something that was already normal in our lives. For us, our normal routine was work, eat, and room. It was like we couldn't get enough, we were crazy about each other…or at least I was.

One naught, Rei didn't come by and I could hardly sleep. I though of calling her, but who was I to call her? I wasn't her girlfriend or anything, i was just a "Fuck Buddy". The next day before work, she came by my place;

"Hey Minako", she said as soon as I opened the door.

"Hey", I said Hugging her, "I waited for you, I just couldn't sleep. What happened?"

"I was so tired I went directly to bed, I'm sorry I worried you", she then gave me a quick kiss, "We should go to work".

I took all my stuff and locked the door behind me.

At Work, that evening...

I was sitting right in front of Rei. I herd her talking on the phone with her cousin in New Jersey.

"Hey Adri, was up?"

I can hardly hear the conversation they're having, so I direct my attention to my IPhone.

"So, I heard Gina was asking about me?"

Gina? To the hell is Gina? Why she has to be asking about Rei? Now, this was getting interesting. Maybe this Gina was the cause for Rei not to get all serious about me.

"I thought I sent you a picture of me my crazy cousin. Tokyo? Is amazing, you haven't visit grandpa in a while. Give me a few minutes and I'll send you the picture. Sure, take care"

She finally hanged up. I see her moved forward on her seat towards me.

"Do you know how to send pictures in the iphone and put it on an e-mail? I just got this thing and still don't know how to use it"

I grabbed the phone, "Which picture you want me to send?"

She showed me the picture and I selected it. It was a picture of us, one of my favorites. I start to send it and took me back to the album. Without she noticing it, I started to see the rest of the pictures. They were mostly of her new Hummer H3, herself with all our friends, a few of me and her, and suddenly some pictures of a girl I didn't recognize in underwear. What the hell? Who is she? This were camera phone pictures, this were sent to her. I look at her and she's reading some book I can't recall at the moment. I feel my blood boil through my veins. What is this feeling? Is it jealousy? But I can't say anything. I don't know how to call this this we have…but is something, definitely.

"I'm done", I said exiting the album and handing the phone back to her, "Adri should have received the e-mail already"

She grabs the phone and gave me a light kiss on the cheek, "Thanks Minako"

"You welcome", I smiled, having the feeling that tonight was going to be a long night.

Two days later…

We were finally off! These were the longest four days of work I had. Maybe because all the things that were going through my mind. That night, we were on Minako's room watching the knowing. Rei was laying on my lap enjoying the popcorn, and I was just a little distant from her. Still thinking on those pictures. Where there any new ones? Have they talked over the phone? Have they text? Have they talked over on Facebook? MySpace? I was growing obsessed with finding out about this girl on the picture. Was she an ex-girlfriend? Ex-Fuck Buddy? What were they really?

"You okay?" I heard Ami whispered, she had Makoto on her lap. At least someone was happy.

"Fine, just a little tired" I whispered back with a smile. I looked down at Rei who was concentrated on the Movie. Why isn't she affectionate in public? Why do we have to hide from the rest?

When the movie ended, Ami and I went directly to the fridge and got some cheap wine.

"What are we drinking on?", Ami asked.

"Nothing in particular, for friendship?", I smiled, "That's something you can't replace"

We filled our cups and started drinking as fast as we could. Maybe with this I can forget about those pictures. I filled the cup again, and drank again. I did that till there was no wine left. I grabbed Makoto's menthol cigarettes and started smoking. Ami walked towards me with a full cup.

"Here, Jagger Bomb for you", I grabbed the cup of my all time favorite drink, Jaegermeister with RedBull and drank it as fast as humanly possible and took a look at Rei. She didn't look happy what I was doing. She walked towards me and grabbed my cup.

"We are leaving, you're waisted"

"Me? Waisted? I'm not!", I smiled and looked at the others, "But I think I might throw up".

I walked towards the bathroom and the rest was a blur.

Next Morning…

I had a huge headache, I wasn't wearing anything. Dud we had sex while I was drunk? Why I can't remember the best part of the night but I can remember the rest? Hate when that happens. I took a look besides me and found a naked Rei under my covers, sleeping soundly. Was she mad? Yeap, I'm pretty sure she was.

That night…

Rei hasn't call me, nor text me. What the hell? I texted her over and over and no answer.

~Beep~I'm still pissed because of last night.~

~Because I got wasted? or the fact I couldn't remember sleeping with you?~

~Beep~Because you were wasted, I hate when you drink and smoke. It's just not you.~

~That's my way to release stress~

~Beep~Well, find a better way~

~Like what?~

~Beep~Use your imagination!~

Uff, all this texting is getting me pissed! But she doesn't want to pick up the phone.

~Come here and talk to me then~

~Beep~I'm tired of this, I'm not going~

I started crying for no god damn reason! I'm starting to loose it! Then, I receive a call from Ami;

"You ok? Why are you crying?"

"I'm not", I lied.

"I live right besides you, I can hear you"

"I need to talk, can you come over?"

"Yeah, I'll be right there"

Not even two minutes passed and Ami was on my door. I let her in and started to tell her about me and Rei, and all that have happened this past two weeks.

"You have to calm down, you know how Rei is. I have never seen her in a serious relationship before"

"I know, it just I thought it would be different"

"Have you thought of the possibility she might be just using you?"

That put me to think deeply in that moment. What if she was right. What if I was just a release for Rei? Maybe I'm just an adventure for her.

"Minako", I herd her distantly, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah", I answered, "I was just thinking that maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just one more for her long list of relationships, of flings"

Ami placed her hand on my shoulder "Hope is not to late, but don't fall for her. I think she's not good for you"

I looked at her and wiped my tears away, "I think I have fallen, but not that far yet. I need to be strong"

"Yeah, you're stronger than that. Feeling better? Can I go to my room and be relaxed knowing you won't do anything stupid?"

"Yeah", I smiled and hugged Ami, "Thanks for listening. I feel better now"

"You welcome"

Later that night, I herd someone knocking at the door. When i go and opened it, it was Rei.

"Are you calm now? Can we talk?", she asked a little pissed off, "What's the matter with you lately?"

I let her in and she took a seat on my bed. I started pacing the room nervously, "Yeah, I'm better", I looked at her, "Just feeling a little unsecured about this thing we have. What is it? What do you call this thing?"

Rei looks at me with a smile, "What thing? This is just for fun, Minako. We're in a new place and we only have ourselves. We just keep ourselves company"

That definitely shocked me. Both her tone and her words, "Company? That's what I'm to you?"

"Well, you're also my best friend. With you I share things I'm to ashamed to tell anyone else".

"Best friend", I repeat still in shock, "And the girl in your picture, is she also your best friend?"

"She's my ex, and how did you know?"

"Those were in your album, saw them when I sent the e-mail"

She looked at me with a smiled, "Why, are you jealous? We are nothing Minako, I could still do with my life what I want"

"Ok, but just promise me one thing. If you fuck someone else while you're with me, just tell me and I'll fucking disappear from your life".

"Ok, and if me staying here with you is hurting you in some way, tell me and I'll stop. The last thing I want is to hurt you".

I looked at her surprised, "I think you already did, so what's the use. It hurts me more not to have you, than having you here with me".

She gave me a hug and I started to cry again. I was surprised she didn't leave.

"I don't know why Minako, but just by seeing you I have the urge to have you. It's like I have to be with you by some unknown reason".

"I feel the same way. I can't help it", I buried my face in her hair. This didn't feel like love at all, it felt more like an obsession, which is ten times worst. What the hell is wrong with me?

A/N: Ok! Read and review! This one is longer and I hope next one would be as long! Let me know what you think about it, and yes…it's still real! See ay guys later that need to sleep…work tomorrow! :)
