Chapter 2: I second that Emotion
Song by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
"Zelos stop it," she screamed suddenly stopping the red head in mid sentence. "Do you hear yourself?" she laughed in disbelief at how ridiculous he was being, his words, his proposal. Was he really that ignorant to think that his sudden words of love and affection would make her toss everything on the stove to simmer while she ran off to a room to make out with him?
Sheena stood and turned to face him, hoping to hear his explanation for such childish impulsions, but by the way he just sat there like a bump on a log, mouth hanging open, she assumed he wasn't going to react anytime soon, so she continued.
"Look Zelos, I'm not one of your floozies. I'm not going to gush over your amazing good looks and charming speech. I know you a lot better than that to fall for that cheap trick," She spoke firmly, like a teacher giving a lesson to her class of students.
"You're a good guy Zelos and I know that, but you're a womanizing pig also and I'm not about to let you take advantage of me then run off with the first drunk blonde who flashes you one night at a party. I'm Chief of Mizuho and I'm smarter than that so lets not try and play that game."
Zelos, eyes still wide from shock, raised his hand hoping to slow her down but she was on a roll and he wasn't about to stop her just yet. Sheena gave him a stern look and waved off his hand and continued.
"We've been through a lot, Wilder. the whole world regeneration and the year after that, and I'd be flat out lying if I said that I didn't think fondly of you, because I really do. It's just that I can't and won't let myself be fooled around with like that, the way you treat your fans girls I mean."
"Sheena…," he interjected again, which earned him a glare.
"Zelos, I'm not done yet," She snapped folding her arms across her chest. Like the stunned guy he was Zelos sat back and waited out the rest of her speech.
"I guess what I'm trying to say, what I'm trying to get you to understand is that I wouldn't mind a relationship beyond just being friends. I'd enjoy being with you I just, I'd need that assurance, that what we would have wouldn't be a joke. That it wouldn't be us constantly fighting or you discovering your not cut out for the kind of commitment I expect from a loved one."
She paused taking a deep breath then looking over at him with compassion gleaming in her eyes. "If what we'll have is just you running after pretty blondes wearing nothing and me chasing after you with a stick trying to make you come home; then I don't want any part of If you're even contemplating a full time relationship with me you need your gonna have to take a completely different approach."
An awkward silence filled the room after her final words leaving both Sheena and Zelos looking around expect the other to say something.
Zelos shifted in his seat a few moments, later clearing his throat. "Are you done?"
The question surprised her a bit as a soft pink blush rose onto her cheeks. "Yeah, sorry," She muttered returning to her seat at the red heads dining table, just now realizing how sudden her outburst had been.
"Well love, I had planed to do this thing entirely different and a bit more formal, but after that lovely little speech I think I'm just going to throw it out there," He spoke an amused tone in his voice. He stood and walked over to the now confused ninja and proceeded to dig into one of his pocket.
"I second that emotion, babe. I've already broke up with my worldwide fan club," He said with a profound smile on his face.
"Y-you do? I mean, you have?" she stammered, confusion very clear on her face.
"Yep, in fact I have to say I'm a few steps ahead of you," He snickered. He then proceeded to pull his hand, which hand been digging in his pant pocket, up to her eye level revealing a small black box. He watched her for a moment letting her see the tiny chest and allowing her mind to imagine what kind of gift could fit in such a small package.
"Sheena Fujiyabashi, my dear banshee…," he murmured bring his free hand to the top of the box and lifting the cover up until it click open, revealing a small silver ring with a single diamond incased in it's crown.
"Would you marry me?"
