NO RECAP!(even though I had to read the last one to remember..)
"So do you guys have somewhere to stay?" Gaara asked. I shook my head no. Gaara put his arm around my waist. "Come on, I have an extra room at my house," Gaara said. "Um.. Hello? Forgetting someone?" Lacey said. "No, the extra room is for you, Maggie can stay with me," Gaara said looking ahead. Lacey shot a look at me, the 'Do anything and I'll kill you' look. I gulped and nodded.
GAARA'S POV
So with Maggie in my arm and her friend next to us, we walked slowly to my house. Maggie was a very strange girl.. Not like the others at all. "Mm, Gaara are we almost there?" she asked. I nodded. She really did look different from one month ago. She had thinned out a bit and the half circles under her eyes were darker.
If Lacey hadn't been there I would probably kiss her, but, as circumstances would put it.. "We're here," I said. I couldn't understand why they were so shocked. It was only a LITTLE bit bigger than Sasuke's house.. "It's bigger than Victoria's house," they said in unison. Victoria was the bubbly one right? I saw a smile spread on Maggie's face. She looked so much like a little kid with that look. "Let's go!" she squealed and threw open the door. But then she must have remembered her manners.
She slid off her sandals and smiled sheepishly at me. I still wasn't used to the whole smiling thing yet, though I was practicing. Lacey did the same and so did I. I showed them my living room and kitchen. Of course Maggie was ecstatic when she saw the Kitchen, I expected nothing less than that. "Can you show us to our rooms?" Lacey asked. I suddenly got nervous. Not about the guest bedroom, but about my own. I don't know why but I really wanted Maggie to like it.
I showed Lacey her room. "Okay, well I'm gonna go take a shower ," Lacey said. Maggie nodded and looked at me. "..So.." She said trailing off. "A-And on to my room," I stuttered. My room was at the top of all the staircases. Poor Maggie, I forgot she got tired easy. We stood in front of my door. Here goes. "Whoa.." She said. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?
REGULAR POV
To say the least, his room was amazing. Hardly any of his wall was visible through all of the posters, newspaper, and shelves of stuff. Yay! I wasn't the only one who put newspaper on my wall. He had no carpet, just cold hardwood floor. That's what I missed the most about my old house. From what little wall I could see is walls were painted dark blue. He had a desk with everything you could possibly want. Even a-a- Laptop!!!!!!! I thought they didn't have those here! "L-Laptop.." I said trailing off, "So worth six flights of stairs."
Gaara quirked an eyebrow at me and said, "Not many people have them, they're new." I could have fainted right then and there. Gaara had a laptop. That was just awesome. "Are you ok?" he asked. I nodded. It took me a second to realized he had no bed, a couch but no bed. As if reading my mind Gaara answered m question. "The couch folds out," he said. I nodded. "So.. Now what?" I asked.
"Hmm, I can think of something," he said. I had been looking at his posters when he said this. A huge blush crept to my face and I said, "Umm, I-" but I was cut off. Gaara was right in front of me pulling my chin up. I gulped. "Um, hi," I said shakily. Gaara smirked and closed the gap between us. He started to kiss me softly at first, but then he started to chew on my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and let him in, however, we were interrupted, again. The door swung open and there stood my best friend.
"I leave you two alone for fifteen minutes," she said rubbing her temples. "Meany," I muttered. Gaara growled and if Lacey was the kind of girl to do this she would have flipped him off. But she just glared at him. "Heh, well, if I didn't believe you two would kill each other I'd go take a shower but-" "Go," Lacey said cutting me off. "Um, are you su-" "I'll be fine. Besides, if he killed me you'd dump him right?" Lacey said. I nodded. Gaara growled again. "Don't hurt her Gaara," I said rummaging through my bag and finding a good change of clothes.
I prayed I didn't find a dead Lacey when I got out. I didn't but I didn't find anybody. I went down all the stairs and saw them sitting at the table whispering. They didn't notice I was there so I hid behind the wall. "-she's had it hard enough," I heard Lacey say. "But I really do like her, she's the only one to ever show me affection," Gaara countered. "The last thing she needs right now is a guy, it will just make things more complicated!" Lacey hissed.
"Maybe that's exactly what she needs!" Gaara said. "You don't understand! She's been hurt beyond bel-" "You think I can't see that?! Every time I look in her eyes I can see her past! Her eyes are always so sad," he said the last part in a really sad way. I decided to end their conversation. "Hey guys," I said casually. "Where were you?" Lacey asked. "Behind the wall," I answered. "Oh," she said. Only Lacey got that of course, Gaara was a little confused.
"So what's for dinner?" I asked. Gaara shrugged. "What do you want?" he asked. "I dunno, Lacey?" I said turning to her. She shrugged. "Ok I think we should go get a bunch of junk food, rent some movies, and have an awesome night," I said. Lacey gave me a high five. We went out and got everything we needed. We came home and watched Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge(AWESOME!). We all slept on pallets down stairs (Remember in this one all Gaara needs to sleep is someone to hold him)
LACEY'S POV
I was the last to fall asleep. Maybe Gaara was right, she needed this. Then I heard something hit the window. What could that be? I got up and headed over to the window. I pulled back the curtain and nearly fainted. "Itachi-sama.." I said trailing off. He knocked again as if signaling me to open the window. I threw the window up. "Wh-wha-" But he cut me off. "What's your name girl?" he asked. I frowned. Very disrespectful! "Lacey," I answered.
He nodded. One thing I had learned about Itachi from fan fiction, there was hardly ever sweet talk. He was the cold heartless guy that looked good. I gulped hopefully he wouldn't try anything. "Come outside," he said sitting on the window sill. "My mother said not to talk to strangers," I told him about to walk away but he grabbed my wrist. "How old are you?" he asked. I quirked an eyebrow. "Why?" "I want to know if it's legal," Itachi answered with a smirk.
My eyes widened. "I'm 13 so no," I said trying to get my wrist back, no such luck. "But then again, the law has never stopped me before.." He said trailing off. I blushed God knows how many different colours. "Seriously, let go," I ordered. "I don't think you're in a position to tell me what to do," Itachi said. Uh-oh. He had a point. "Hey Lacey, what are you doin?" I heard Maggie ask sleepily. Itachi just disappeared. "N-Nothing," I answered and closed the window, locking it.
