I just couldn't help myself :) This is another one of those chapters that I told you guys about that I have had sitting around for a while. I couldn't let it wait any longer! I had to post it! :)

Just Admit It

Roxanne wasn't sure what woke her up, but it took her a minute to adjust to the darkness to realize where she was. She had fallen asleep on her couch. She didn't remember ever turning off the television or lamp but was too tired to contemplate it. But it was the breeze that caught her attention. She turned her eyes to see the balcony doors open; the thin white curtains dancing with the moving air. She saw him then, the thin blue alien man.

This of all things confused her. He never kidnapped her this late in the night; he always wanted to be sure that there would be plenty of people awake to see his epic battles with Metro Man.

"Megamind? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I…I wanted to make sure you're okay." He whispered. She had been gone for two weeks on a special international news report. She should have known that he'd be watching; he never missed a single one of her reports after all, she knew that by now.

But that meant that he'd seen the riot that had started one day; and had seen how she'd been roughly knocked to the ground and had to be pulled out from the crowd and to safety.

"I'm fine. Jet-lagged." She felt stupid as soon as she said it. But there was something about his presence there tonight that had her tongue tied. She watched him as he slowly walked towards her; watched his lithe body move under his tight suit, and how his cape swayed. She watched his face, studying his expressive eyebrows, the sharp angles that still managed to be rounded, that strip of hair on his chin, and then back up to his bright eyes. She couldn't fight it anymore; he was incredibly handsome. She'd been fighting to admit feeling anything for him for quite some time, but now to see him after being away, after having missed those bright eyes and his active energy, she found herself longing for him.

And so she didn't stop him as he came closer to her. He surprised her as he reached out and cradled her cheek in the palm of his gloved hand. Never before had he been so bold, and it ignited something in her. She leaned her face into his hand, sighing in contentment, as she covered his hand with her own. He gently tilted her face up towards his as he leaned down. Her eyes, half-lidded, roamed down his face to those blue lips she'd been so curious about. His voice was a quiet whisper as he spoke.

"I missed you." And then he closed the gap, pressing his lips against hers. She was surprised at his boldness; she'd been feeling their banter toeing the line of flirtation, but there had been times she'd been able to use that to her advantage to send him into a blushing stuttering mess. But now; oh this was different. Somehow this felt right.

He tilted his head to get a better angle, their sharp breaths the only sound as she placed one of her hands on his elbow, the other coming to rest against the side of his neck. He pulled her up to standing and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him. She responded in kind, one hand trailing the back of his neck. A moan escaped his throat and he broke from her lips. His eyes, somehow even brighter in the dark, met hers in the dim light supplied from the city lights.

"Roxanne…" he whispered, as he moved his lips down towards her neck and,

Roxanne awoke with a start, looking around the room. Her heart was pounding in a strange sort of excited shock. She'd dreamed of the blue spaceman before, but never like this. She didn't know whether to be angry at herself for thinking of him in such ways, or curious as to if she really had real feelings for him.

And yet when Monday rolled around and Roxanne once more found herself tied to a chair, she was somehow unable to look anywhere but his lips. She was drawn in by the way they moved as he spoke, the way they curved up in that delightfully sexy "evil" smirk. Really the only thing evil about it was the way it made her stomach flutter.

Wait… just when did she start thinking about him like that!

"Miss Ritchi? Miss Ritchi! Have you been listening to a single thing I've said?"

She had only barely heard him, and it took a polite nudge to her shoulder from Minion to really bring her full attention back.

"Huh? Sorry, I guess I'm distracted today."

"I see." Megamind smirked his famous smirk. "Finally succumbing to my devilishly good looks! It was only a matter of time!"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." She sat back, cocking an eyebrow at him.

"Why don't you just admit you've finally fallen for me?" he challenged. She looked away, her lips turning into a scowl.

"Why don't you admit it?" she muttered. It had come out before she thought about it and her eyes opened wide as she froze. Slowly she turned her eyes back to him; she saw his frozen stance, those large green eyes wide in surprise. All the while Minion stood to the side, mouth agape.

Oh no! Had she finally seen through Sir? Did she figure him out? Oh this would not end well!

Finally Megamind seemed to snap back to himself.

"Admit that I know you find me devilishly attractive? Well I can't really blame you there! Now then, Minion! Signal for Metro Mahn! It's time to get this underway!"

Roxanne sat back and sighed, she was in the clear for now. She mentally kicked herself for slipping as it was. She never slipped; never! It was just a dream, she tried telling herself; just a dream and you need to keep it at that.

Still, she couldn't help but look up again as he spoke, wondering just how those lips would feel against her neck.
