Like Lighting- Jealousy and Confused Feelings

XxX

It's my birthday on Saturday!!!!!!!

XxX

I'm really sorry I haven't updated for such a long time! My mommy's a nurse, and she has a really big test so updates are going to be short until she finishes it because she's using my computer... sad, right? Lucky for you guys, she's done! So hello more updates! Well, not too much notes beside that... ah well. Hope this chapter makes up for it!

Blaire wanted payback. Drew had only kissed her forehead hours before, but she wouldn't allow him to keep the satisfaction. Grabbing a water bottle and a shaker of this spicy white powder, she let out a mischievous chuckle. Drew was going down.

Blaire and Drew looked up at the brightly lit screen. In the middle, she saw a picture of her and Drew connected to another picture of a boy blond with light green eyes. He's cute...

Drew looked at Blaire weirdly. All she was doing was gluing her eyes to the screen. He waited to see if she would snap out of it, but another minute later, she was still looking. A few more seconds passed, and she was still looking. He tapped his foot impatiently; what was she doing? He snapped his fingers in front of her face, finally catching her attention.

"You were staring," he stated plainly, flicking his hair.

She blinked, "Oh! I was just looking at that cute guy on the screen!"

Drew grinned. Of course she would be looking at him. Who wouldn't be? As he was fantasizing, Blaire returned staring. The boy had a boyish grin on his face which she thought was really hot; then she noticed the partner. She was really pretty as well and had bright blond hair and blue-ish purple eyes. She let out a sigh of disappointment. That boy was totally her type.

"You know, you could just stare at the real thing," Drew gloated, striking a pose for the confused girl.

"Where is he?"

He pointed to himself, something inside him making him feel giddy. She gave him a weird look. What he was doing, she could never be too sure. Did he think that she was looking at his picture?

"Oh... Wrong one," she sighed in disappointment, returning back to the picture.

Even if he wasn't up for grabs, she did like herself some pretty eye candy. His eyes seemed to dance with the same mischief that Blaire knew she had in her own , and his hair! She sighed dreamily once more. It was so bright and shiny; she would've loved to touch it.

"Then what are you looking at then?" he asked, a tinge jealous that she wasn't talking about him.

She barely heard him, but pointed to the blond boy on the screen.

His eyes widened in shock. She was attracted to their opponent? Things don't work like that! She had to focus on their battle, she couldn't if she stood on the stage like she was doing in front of the screen. Besides, what was so good about that guy? Was it because he was blond? He felt an unpleasant feeling in his chest. Drew knew he looked MUCH better than that guy! Blaire probably had a horrible taste in men; that's what he thought.

He smacked her across the head and smirked at her glare, "No fraternizing with the enemy."

"What? Fraternizing? Don't use big words on me! And I can like this guy if I want to!" she spat, attempting to smack him back.

He grabbed her wrists before she was able to do so, "I said no."

Blaire felt anger surge inside her, "And what is that supposed to mean?"

"No."

That word made her angrier, "Yeah?"

Spotting a camera, he pulled her hand and spun her around and hugged her from behind. She blushed from the sudden movement. What was he doing now? She felt uncomfortable, but she wasn't sure if she minded it.

"What do you think you're doing?" Blaire hissed, not noticing the camera.

His mouth moved to her ear. Blaire could almost feel herself shudder as his hot breath entered her ear. Drew was acting different. Usually, Blaire was the one in control, even if he thought he was, she had total control over the situation. What he was doing was unexpected so Blaire wasn't sure what she could do.

"Smile for the camera, Love," he whispered, nibbling her ear and giving the cameraman a naughty smirk.

Drew felt smug. He felt Blaire shudder under him, and that made his ego boost. I knew she wasn't immune to my charm. I mean, who is? Her breathing seemed irregular as she noticed the camera for the first time.

So that was his game? Blaire darkly chuckled in her mind. Two could play that game. She wrapped her free hand around Drew's head and brought him closer to her face. She gave him a challenging smirk and licked the tip of his nose.

"Of course, Babe," she purred, massaging Drew's scalp with her fingers.

Drew could see the mischievous glint behind Blaire's fake reading glasses. He felt the blood rush to his face. What would it be like if she wasn't joking around with him? Would she still act like this if they were being- NO! Drew shook his head furiously, attempting to erase all previous thoughts. They weren't ever going to be any more than what they were now. She was annoying, manipulative, witty, annoying, and... Did Drew already mention annoying? Blaire was anything like the girls he had dated in the past.

Maybe a change is what you need...

Drew didn't need that kind of change. Moving from May to Blaire would be too... he couldn't even put it into words. May was cute, sweet, caring, and... he couldn't think of anything else, but he knew it would be better than his so called 'partner.' She was deceiving, annoying, abusive, sarcastic... caring, funny, helpful, challenging, playful, understanding... He buried his head into Blaire's shoulder. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all.

Blaire was confused. Why was Drew's head on her shoulder? She was sure he could tell that she was challenging him, so why wasn't he responding? Did he not feel well? Blaire tentatively wrapped her arms around his head.

"Maybe all the banging's getting to you," she murmured, unaware of the photographer's blushing face.

He buried his head deeper, wrapping his arms around Blaire's form, "Yeah... Maybe."

The camera man was ecstatic, along with his photographer. He didn't expect such great shots or to catch such a mushy moment between them. Honestly, all he expected was a boring interview like all the others, but then again, this couple was noticeably in more harmony with each other. Every move they made seemed to compliment the other, but that was only a spectator's opinion.

Inside the stadium was anything but quiet. Children were screaming, people were arguing over seat placements, and some were just talking loudly. It wasn't like the judges were any quieter. They had to sit on stage until the contests started. Honestly, May wondered how they could stand it.

All the judges were making small talk among each other. May would occasionally answer a few of their questions whenever she was spoken to, but she really wasn't paying that much attention. She had managed to calm down after her outburst last night. It would stay that way. She had self-control; she was a lady. Last night was just a fluke because she was so shocked. At least, that's what she thought.

"So Mr. Contesta, who's your pair of hopefuls this time?" Mr. Suziko asked.

Nurse Joy released a sigh while May looked at them curiously. Mr. Contesta had favorites? Well, he was human, but would he really use favoritism?

"Why, the Drew-Blaire pair of course! I mean, it even rhymes!" he replied with a hearty chuckle.

"Wonderful!" Mr. Suziko clapped, also agreeing with him.

May clenched her fist under her judge's table. Self-control, self-control, self-control... She wouldn't do something as undignified as loose her cool again. If she did, it would be like that other girl won, and May would not be beat, especially since she knew Drew would come back to her soon.

A black-clad man walked out from behind the curtain and handed Mr. Contesta a small folded piece of paper with the contest's seal. He opened it and read the contests as the other man returned backstage. After a few mhms, he called Vivian over and gave her the note. She quickly skimmed through it before grabbing her microphone.

"Helloooo, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome once again to the Pokemon Couples Coordinating Contest in Slateport!" she cheered, grabbing everyone's attention, immediately causing everyone in the stadium to quiet down. "I can assure you that all of our employees, including myself, are delighted that you've come today. So, as a token of our appreciation, we got our cameraman and photographer to go backstage and get you a few sneak peaks of what the couples do backstage! Roll the clip!"

The lights in the stadium darkened, with only the screen as the brightest source of light. A man appeared on the screen, waving his arms and saying his thanks. May didn't really want to pay attention to this. Actually, she didn't even really want to be here today. All they would probably show on the video was a few interview and maybe a few people getting all cuddly. May began inspecting her Frenched nails. They were really sparkly.

"Smile for the camera, Love," May heard an all to familiar voice say from the speakers.

Her eyes couldn't fly fast enough to the screen. What she saw pretty much destroyed whatever self-control she had. Drew was hugging Blaire from behind and nibbling on her ear. His eyes seemed to look right at May from the screen, as if taunting her about her loss. He's not yours.

"Of course, Babe," she purred.

Blaire gave him a challenging look and made his head go even closer to her face. Her long fingers tangled themselves in Drew's light green locks as she proceeded to lick the tip of his nose. Drew's face flushed, and he buried his head into the other girl's shoulder. Blaire seemed to be confused for a moment, but wrapped her arms around his head anyways (she's just flexible... xD).

"Maybe all the the banging's getting to you," she murmured.

He buried his head deeper, wrapping his arms around Blaire's form, "Yeah... Maybe."

May was thankful that the room was dark. Her face was red with furry, and her eyes were wide with disbelief. Did she say? No! She was supposed to be Drew's first! Not some sorry, fake wannabe of herself! No! No! NO! It was all wrong! Why wasn't Drew crawling back to her? No, why was he fooling around with another woman when she was there waiting for him? It wasn't right! It wasn't fair! And she wasn't going to let it happen.

Should I bite him again? I think that'll make it the third time...

"Dreeewww," she sang, "Stop being all mopey before I bite you~"

He chuckled and removed his head from her shoulder. Suddenly, he missed all the warmth. Blaire always knew how to cheer him up. Whether by biting him, hitting him, or making a sassy remark, somehow, she could always make him happy. He felt his heart beat faster and faster. Curiously, he placed his hand over his heart, thinking something was wrong with it.

"There's no flag here Drew. No need to say the Pledge," Blaire stated, leaning into Drew to move a few messed up strands.

Drew felt his face getting hot. He could tell his heart was beating faster too. His eyes quickly spotted her breast right in front of his eyes. Even if I said that she had small boobs, I like them. A lot. His face grew scarlet; what was he thinking?!?

Blaire saw his ears turn red, making her a bit worried. Did he have a fever or something? That would explain his odd-er than usual behavior... She placed her hand on his dark red forehead. He was really warm.

"You're hot," she murmured, making Drew, the cameraman, the photographer, and anyone else close enough to hear her blush.

What was she saying? And that voice!

"Stop!" he yelped, pushing her away.

He tried to cover his glowing red face with one of his hands. She was too close, and he didn't have enough clothes on! He looked at Blaire's confused face as she fell to the ground. It all seemed to happen in slow motion, but he could do nothing to stop it. When she landed, her face briefly contorted to one of pain. What did he just do?
