-Rouge's POV-

After mopping, I lifted my tired body onto the kitchen counter and focused on the stain tiles on my kitchen floor. My face still burned. I lightly touched my cheek and it burned.

I rushed off the counter and into the bathroom and vomit into the toilet. I lay there by the toilet and sob, wiping the vomit left on my mouth off with the back of my hand. I flush the toilet and get up and flip the light switch on. The familiar buzzing sound starts and the light slowly glitches and finally comes on and illuminates the small bathroom.

I stare at my reflection. I looked pale and my eyes were empty. My hair was all matted on my head and over my face, I could barely see myself. I stood there and sighed. I pulled my hair back out of my face and stared at my bare skin. I smiled, or at least tried to. I frowned. I smiled again. And frowned. I leaned in closer to examine my cheek, it was red.

"Dammit Rouge! Fuck! Bloody Fuck!" I say, swinging my arms in the air. "I need to get some fresh air."

I rush out the bathroom, grab my long black trench coat, my keys and leave the house. I needed to get out. I needed to get away.

-Shadow's POV-

"You sure you good locking up by yourself?" Sonic asked me, while grabbing his leather jacket off the coat rack located by the front door of the coffee shop.

"Yes Faker. I'll be good" I snicker and he grins.

"Alright. Night Shadow." He waves and exits the building.

I continue sweeping around the register. I take a seat and wipe out my "Newport" and take out a cigarette and the lighter that was deep in my back pocket. I light the end and inhale. I hear the bells that are on the door sound.

"We're closed." I say, not even bothering to turn around. Some people are stupid.

"I noticed..." A female voice says. An all too familiar voice. I quickly turn around.

-Rouge's POV-

"Oh! It's you again" Shadow says, nearly choking on the cigarette in his mouth and he begins to blush.

I giggle. "Can I join you?" I ask

"Uh yeah sure. I'll be locking up soon." He says, getting up to pull out a chair for me to sit in.

"Thanks." I laugh and we sit there in silence for a moment. "Hey... Can I have one of those?" I point to the cigarette in his mouth.

"A cigarette? Sure." He pulls out his box and hands me one. I put it on my mouth and pucker my lips at him, asking him to light it. He pulls out the lighter and cups his hand over the end to light the cigarette. I inhale and my eyes roll in the back of their head.

I pull it out of my mouth and look at the little thing that controlled so many people's lives. "I promised myself I would never smoke again." I whispered.

"Your too pretty to be smoking anyway. Well... in my opinion" He says, looking outside the large window at the passing cars.

"Thanks babe. But tonight's different."

"And why's that?"

I put the cigarette back in my mouth. "Family problems. I'm just stressed."

We sit in silence again. "Hey? Wanna go somewhere? I promise it'll get your mind off everything else." He smiles and grabs my hand.

I smile and look at his ruby red eyes. They were so gorgeous. "Of course." I throw the cigarette on the ground and step on the bud. He pulls me along with and we climb into his car as he drives me where ever he was taking me

We laid in the long tickling grass and stared up at the blue sky. My trench coat was open and I was in my bra and panties but I wasn't able to grab any clothes before I left and Shadow said he didn't mind. But every once in a while I saw him peeking over at my curvy hips, probably fantasizing what my bare bottom looks like. It made me blush.

But he was mostly looking at the stars and pointing at them, telling me what he saw in them and I just looked at him like he was sex.

"Hey, since I'm half naked, take your shirt off Shadow." I play nudge him and he sits and looks down at me and laughs.

"Alright." He slowly unbuttons his work shirt and takes off his dress shoes and pants so he was left in his Marilyn Monroe boxers and black calf socks.

I laugh at his boxers. "You have the hots for Marilyn huh?" I say, grabbing the elastic part and pulling it back quickly letting go so it snaps his groin.

"Ah!" He screams and laughs, grabbing his middle and I laugh.

I suddenly stop laughing at start to think back of Knuckles hitting me earlier and I sit up and start to cry.

"Whats wrong? Did I say something?" He sits up and lifts me so I'm in his arms and I lean in his chest.

"No no no! Of course it's not you. Your perfect." My hand hands on the soft patch of fur on his chest and I start to finger it and raking my fingers in it.

"Then what's the matter? What's upsetti-"

I cup his face in my hand and kiss him. I needed a kiss right now. He pulls away.

"Sorry. I'm sorry." I say, wiping my eyes and trying to get up and but he hold me hard against his body.

"No." He grabs my chin and pulls my lips into his and slowly lays down and I flip so I'm laying on top of him.

This was perfect. Nothing like when I kiss Knuckles. This was magical, like our tongues were dancing in a ballroom. I pull away and kiss his cheek, then his ear, then his neck and his chest and I leave a trail of kissed until I reach his navel and I tug down on his boxers.

"Rouge no." He sits up and grabs my chin and lifts my head up.

"It's okay Shadow. I want to. I owe you." I say.

"No. This is wrong and you know it. I like you but.. Go home Rouge." He says, grabbing his pants to put them on. My eyes tear up.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?! Any guy would kill to be in that scenario and you just reject me." I was sitting with my knees on the ground looking up at him as he got dressed. I probably looked pathetic.

"Rouge, just c'mon on." He helps me get on my feet.

"No. What the hell?! Let me suck your cock. Why won't you let me suck you? When guys are nice to me, it's what they want. I owe you." I say.

"But I'm Shadow and I'm saying get in the car so I can take you to your car so you can go home. Your not in the right state of mind right now." He slowly walks to his car and I follow.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I thought we we're having a moment!" I scream, stopping suddenly to stand in one spot. He groans and turns around to face me and stops too.

"We did but.. not like that. Not while your with him. Not while I see your face with that bastard on every magazine when I come to work in the morning and on every bill board and when I turn on the television. Now will you come on?"

I sigh and walk to him and wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him. His mouth was so good I couldn't get enough but he did have a point. I pull away. "Fine. You dick."

I climb into the car with an attitude and he bites his lip and enters the car too.

-Shadow's POV-

I put the keys into the ignition and look over at Rouge. Her arms were crossed and she was looking out the window. So beautiful. I pull off and take her back to the coffee shop. The entire ride was silence and the only thing going through my head was our kisses. They were perfect. No one has ever kissed me with such... passion before. And the way her body felt in my hands. So smooth and perfect as if they belonged there. And her lips on my skin was amazing. I could feel my getting a little too excited and I clear my throat and cross my legs in an awkward way so my boner wasn't so obvious. I tightly grip the steering wheel and we finally reached the coffee shop where her lonely car waited.

"Taa-" before I could finish her lips were locked on mine and her hand was on my chest and she pressed my head onto the seat. I grabbed her buttocks and her hand slowly crawled down to my middle and she gripped my penis and I squealed. She smiled against my mouth and smacked me hard with the hand she grabbed my dick with.

"Thanks for making my night and then being a dick. I had fun." She said and left the car and I sat there in the empty parking lot in the dark, shocked and horny. I sigh.

"Damn." And punch my steering wheel.
