3. the downward spiral starts

CassieRaven: yes I know its different but I think you guys'll like what's coming next.

DarkenedHrt101: thank you! And he will be showing up but it will be another chapter before he does, but it will be worth it.

Guest (1): I'm glad and he will be showing up soon. And yeah diamond's got an addiction to sex when it comes to her which also helps to drive his motivation to still continue his pursuit.

Guest (2): Diamond is a lot of bad things and there's still more to come.

mryann: he'll be showing up soon trust me, though I will say that for some women when your in a relationship even if its gradually getting worse you still do everything you can to be there and try to make reasonability out of the situation. For her she's trying to defend him to not only everyone but mostly to herself and she's slowly realizing that there is no real reasoning.

NikkiBC: diamond's worse than that and you'll see soon enough. I actually have different plans for how Diamond's character ends up. It'll depend heavily on how much you all would want to see a sequel to this story happen.

TropicalRemix: I think I may have left it as him raping her, while he did get her drunk and sleep with her it wasn't directly rape, it was more implied that she was so drunk that she let it happen instead of trying harder to stop it. So sorry if I mislead the interpretation on that. And nice that you noticed that bit about the file. 😊

7 reviews that's nice, I'm really glad this is having a good reception so far, I have changed the title of this to 'Obsessed and dangerous' so thanks again 'Latebuttruefan' for the new title idea. And while Diamond still has a lot of bad traits still to come and is a 'stalker' the first time they were together it wasn't actually rape, it was left implied that things weren't a 100% consensual since she was so drunk but it wasn't actually rape. Sorry for that confusion. Not that I'm defending him but just stating that rape is something very hard for me to write out since I see Usagi as such a strong woman. I did have it in mind if this went very well to do a sequel, but it'll only happen if you guys really want one at the end of this story. Please read and review!

Obsessed and dangerous ch.3

Usage POV

Things went fine for the first few weeks. Diamond would come at least twice a week over just to hang out or for sex. I don't know why but I could never get myself to call it love making. It really felt more like just sex that something deeper. Though I think he felt differently though. I did actually enjoy hanging out with him it was just sometimes he had an issue with me going home to see my parents on Sundays.

Like he wanted all of my weekend free time. I refused to cut family out of my life just for a guy so I stood my ground on it on a two occasions there were and had him leave out on those Sundays. He was less than thrilled but I wasn't going to let sex get between me and mine. It was taking a while to but I could finally feel myself on the verge of an actual orgasm with him. Like I was teetering for it but nothing yet.

He thought he was always making me come but it was only because I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. I knew it would bruise his delicate male ego and he did in fact have a delicate male ego. That I found out during our second week together. We went to a festival that Friday that had all sorts of carnival like rides and games to play. I hadn't been to one since high school so it felt refreshing to me.

I had all sorts of treats while there. I had already had some Yakitori and Crepe's by the time we got to the games. One of the games that I found I liked was the shooting one, not real bullets obviously, but I scored a free stuffed animal. I begged Diamond for some yen for me to try. He told me he'd trade. A kiss for the yen. I felt him reaching back and pull my phone from my back pocket, "Was falling out." He waved it in front of me. "I'll hold onto it till were done for safe keeping." He stated as the fake gum was handed to me.

While I knew that my jean pockets weren't made for the bigger phones with the gorilla cases I had thought it was still fine but perhaps I was wrong. I had always been a pretty accurate shot, not the best not by far but I wasn't a bad shot, so taking out the five targets at the end of the booth hadn't been too hard for me. It hadn't occurred to me that he would have a problem with shooting though.

Diamond went after me and told me he would win me the giant stuffed bear. I hadn't picked the big ass bear for a reason though, I had no room for it. I still had over a dozen boxes to unpack and things to hang up on the walls. I didn't need a giant five foot sized stuffed teddy bear in my room. It's why I got the one that was pillow sized. So when he missed the first shot the man at the booth smirked at him and I cocked my head to the side in a 'really?' manner.

He turned to look at Diamond who was struggling just a little bit with the big fake rifle. Its weight was probably off set due to being remodified for harmless shooting like this instead of regular game shooting. I only knew that even due to my father's work. Being a journalist gave him some free chances to do new things and sometimes bring the family along. Several years ago he took me to this gun range that he was doing an article on for the gun smith. I got a lesson on gun safety and how to use basic firearms.

It was something that usually didn't get shown to the general public on how to do with ease. It made me feel special in a way and it bonded my father and I closer. So when Diamond used it to shoot I could tell he hadn't handled a gun of that size before. His holding of it was off. Out of instinct I went to try and show him out to properly hold it, but he just looked at me like I was getting in the way of him being a 'man'.

I stepped back as he finally got the bearings right and shot the targets with ease. I learned that day that Diamond was a sort loser. I hadn't had any proof that day but after that happened we went for another treat. When I went to use the restroom I didn't see anything amiss other than Diamond looking satisfied. Not thinking anything on it I went to take it his in mine only to have him evade my grasp and throw his whole arm around me to pull me in.

Again I didn't think anything of it till we passed the booth that we were at earlier. The guy looked at me with a black eye before diverting away from us and to his next customers. It caught my attention and had me looking at my boyfriend oddly. I took a quick peak and found his hand, the one slung me, looking a tad bruised around the knuckles. It occurred to me one what happened but not why.

I wondered if he did it out of spite or because of his ego…or both. Cause there was honestly no real reason to do that. It was the booth guys fault but it seemed like he took his anger out on him instead of owning the stupid moment and moving forward. I didn't know how to approach him about it so I let it go and asked as soon as we were back at my place, "So what happened to your hand?" he shoved it into his pocket.

As if he was trying to hide it. Thing was I had already noticed it so there was no use in hiding it the bruise. He looked at me pensively before saying, "I punched a nearby tree. I got angry at myself for looking so lame in front of you. I just haven't handled a rifle in…before…so yeah…" he remarked. If I hadn't seen the booth guy with his black eye I would actually be inclined to believe him.

Diamond POV

I ignored her questioning face at the festival we went to. The guy at the booth when I went back to him was easy to take down. No body made a fool of me. I knew he was smirking and laughing at me when I tried to shoot the targets. It wasn't my fault that I hadn't trained on a rifle in years. I lost my carry and conceal years ago, lost my FOID years ago. The unfortunate side effect of being forced to take anger management classes and spending a week in a psych ward. That wasn't a fond time frame to remember.

So it had been years since I worked on firearms of any kind. My lovely girlfriend showing me up wasn't something I had expected. I was begrudge to admit that she was better skilled than me in that area BUT if I was in training I knew I could be better than her. So when she went to the restroom I went to ask the guy how much the bear was to make it look like I went back and won it only to have him tell me that I couldn't buy it, they had to be won.

I knew he was being a jerk about it so I took my anger out on him by slamming my fist into his face. He went down and yeah it bruised my hand up a little but it felt so good. I didn't tolerate those who made me look bad in front of my girlfriend. I didn't count on her noticing it though and passed it off as a bruised ego for other reasons. I had a feeling she didn't believe me but I swayed her to forget it by trying for sex later on that evening.

The sex was amazing as always and watching her bite her lip was something that only served to make me hotter for her. When she slept further on that night I pulled her phone from my own pocket and looked over all of her texts just to make sure I really was the only one and with a smirk I saw I was. With her phone in hand now I used it to allow the tracker app I downloaded to be enabled.

Now I would know where she was all the time. I realized I was beginning to fall back into the habits that landed me where I am now but now I knew better than to get caught…again. If at first you don't succeed…try and try again. Now I would always know where she was so IF she ever did lie to me on where she was I'd know it. I touched and caressed her smooth silky hair as she slept into the night and into the early morning hours.

"I'm never letting you go…"I murmured into her hair before putting the phone on her side of the night stand. I felt like I was addicted to her and her sex. She was sweet, bubbly and friendly and when alone she was incredible to feel all wrapped up around me. I was getting hard again just thinking about it. Rolling her over I tried to wake her but she was still mostly asleep. When her eyes opened in just the slightest of ways I took that as awake and slipped myself into her. Felt her hot walls caress me as I was inside.

I buried my head into her neck as I usually did as I felt her begin to contract around me. I came as I felt the heat singe her from the inside and felt her relax herself. I rolled back over as she was fully awake now, "How's that for a wake up call?" I smirked proudly to her at my accomplished way to wake her up. "Unexpected." She responded. I laughed at it as I got up and went to go use her bathroom.

Usagi POV

I got stunned when I woke up to him having sex with me. This time I almost felt close to it but there was something about it I didn't like. Like now that I didn't have a thought in my mind and couldn't readily analyze it I didn't like it. I didn't like the sex. I felt bad as now I knew this wouldn't be going anywhere yet I knew he was enjoying it all. When I turned over, after he went to the bathroom, I saw my phone on the night stand.

Then I remembered how he had it from last night. I looked through it and found nothing amiss so I didn't think anything of it. He probably forgot about it like I had so I dismissed it but the thought of the bruised knuckles was still there. He came back out and suggested we stay in for the day and enjoy ourselves. For the first time I was wracking my brain for reason why he had to go and I had a busy schedule but he knew that wasn't the case.

The disadvantages of not having a life outside of work and him. Sure I saw my friends and family but my friends and I got together once a month and that was it. It wasn't easy with our jobs and schedules but we managed. That's when it clicked, for next week I could tell him I was hanging out with some friends and we hadn't seen each other in months, which thanks to the move, was true.

I decided to only tell him when the timing was right and not just randomly. I didn't want him to think it was just because of him. I just needed to talk to my friends and sort this out. I needed to know if I was in something that wasn't going to work out or if I was in something that was good for me. Sending out a group text they responded in favor of a girl's night out next Friday after work. I was pleased and suddenly couldn't wait.

I figured we could go to a restaurant of the girl's choice that way we could enjoy talking and wouldn't have to yell like you would in a night club or bar scene. When he came back in he wanted sex again…I let him have it once more before claiming I needed a shower to wash off the sweat from our activities. I thought he would try to come in but instead tried to stop me from going in saying, "Why? I like it when you smell like me."

It was sweet and I knew it but I felt sticky and gross from the activities now and needed a hot shower. "That may be but I reek of sex and sweat. I need a shower." I held on fast to me, "Who cares. You're not going anywhere today." He held on firmly, more firmly than I was comfortable with. Plus the words and the expression in his eyes had me concerned. I couldn't even shower now? I amended myself instead.

"Listen, it's really sweet that you want me to smell like you but it's getting drowned out by the stench of sweat. How about after I'm done showering I can wear some of your cologne or wear your shirt." I thought that would make him more pliant but like that first time whenever he was hearing something he wasn't fond of but had to reluctantly give in to, he gave me that odd look of tolerating it.

So I jumped into the shower and by habit locked the door. I began to wash my form when I started to scrub harder. I felt like part of me wanted to wash away his scent. The feel of his hands. I realized I wasn't falling for this guy as he was me. I didn't even think to offer to shower together even though he didn't either. Before I could think further on it he tried to open the door only to find that it was locked on him.

"Usagi!" he pounded on the door. I nearly jumped out of my skin and slid as he did that. I felt my heart jump a little too at the sudden burst of anger I could hear in his voice. "SO that's what a skipped heart beat feels like." I muttered to myself. That's when I heard the door being tampered with. I didn't think on it as he was probably jiggling it and unfortunately I couldn't hardly hear what he was saying nor he to hear me.

So when I finally just gave up and got out to see what the problem was he opened the door. A small thin piece of metal in his hands as he picked the lock to open the door. I looked at him perturbed and stunned, "What the hell is going on? Is everything okay?" I asked, trying to sound concerned and to NOT let myself overthink it just yet. "Everything's fine except that you locked the door on me." he was definitely pissed.

"Gomen…I didn't even think about showering together, in fact I was coming out of the shower to unlock it for you when you came in. You picked the lock?" I asked, curious on HOW and WHERE he learned that from. I couldn't even pick a lock that well. Well the much simpler ones if given several minutes I could but not in the speed of 30 seconds like he seemed to just have done so. "Yeah so?" he stated, folding his arms over each other.

"Don't you think that's a bit much?" I asked, trying to get him to see how wrong and invasive that can be for some people. "Fine you want to shower alone. Go ahead." He walked back out and slammed the door shut. I was tempted to not lock the door again but some part of me wanted to lock it on him now. He was upset over something so stupid in my opinion. I figured it was something more I could ask my friends on. Maybe I was in the wrong but I didn't think so. So instead I locked it and finished my shower off.

The next few hours went by fine as we watched some movies. I purposely picked thrillers and action movies to anything romantic. I needed something fast pace and to keep his mind off of sex for a little bit. Watching fate of the furious was good action even if it had some plot holes and even if some of the stunts done weren't a 100% possible, it was still good action and entertained you which isn't that the point?

I had forgotten that I had left my phone on the night stand where I woke up to it this morning and left the couch to retrieve it when I found that it wasn't there anymore. Curious I asked him, "Do you have my phone? I couldn't find it on the night stand." I explained. He pulled it from him and said, "You should be more careful where you leave your phone." I gave him a cockeyed look that expressed 'it's my apartment, why should I be careful of that in my own place?' after all it's not like I'm sharing it with anyone.

"I worry for you is all." He defended as I sat back down, "Your concern is noted and is cutie but don't worry so much." I attempted to sooth him. He instead pulled me over to sit in his lap during the rest of the movie and I felt a bit out of place now. I almost wanted to get off his lap and just sit on the couch. I had to talk to my friends about this. This can't be normal to feel if you're dating someone and have had sex.

"By the way I tried to find you on facebook and couldn't." he remarked out of the blue. I looked at him from where I was on his lap, "Never have had one and don't really need one. I don't post up pictures and I'm NOT a selfie taker. Feels weird to take a selfie." Don't ask me why I just felt that way and I really didn't need one. Everyone I knew, I had the numbers to so it was useless to me. I hadn't had one yet and I wasn't about to get one just for him.

He regarded me with that look again. Like he didn't like it and was perturbed but was trying to hide it. I was starting to notice that more and more with him. "Nani?" I asked. "Nothing, I just find that unusual considering." Now I was curious, "What do you mean?" I inquired. "Just that a beautiful woman like yourself would normally have a facebook covered with tons of selfies of all the places she's been and people in her life." He commented.

I couldn't help but laugh. He took offense. "The hell is so funny?" he definitely seemed upset so I placated him by saying, "Gomen…it's just that I'm NOT that type of girl or person period that needs to take selfies daily or that needs to post up about what she or he is doing in their lives. I live a very quiet, mundane, work, work, work, family and friends kind of life and when my friends and I get together we share it between each other. We don't post anything." I explained. Now I found my timing to tell him.

"Take for instance with my friends. Like next Friday were hanging out for the evening, but were not going to be taking pictures and posting them. We hang out. Talk. Have a few laughs. Catch up and then go home. It's nice and soothing. If we do take pictures its ones we can put into albums to keep as memories for each other or just ourselves." Call my friends and I old fashion, but we prefer to do things that way.

Mainly cause at one point back in high school two of us had facebook accounts but were getting slammed by bullies that needed someone to pick on. Like I said, quiet and mundane, also makes a person an easy target. One even got slammed with trollers for it on twitter so we all gave up on online accounts and decided simple was best for us. Besides we honestly didn't have the time for all of it. Between work, family and friends keeping up to date with it seemed pointless compared to actually hanging out.

We understood the benefits of it for relatives or loved ones who lived far away but for us we didn't feel the need for it. Diamond didn't seem to like that though. "You really should get a social media account. That way we can share things online." I really didn't like to be asked to do something that I didn't want nor need so instead of being dismissive of it as I wanted to be I merely stated, "It's something to consider."

"You should do it." He stated as he motioned to start to create one for me. I put my hand on his phone and said, "Let's watch another movie." I suggested instead and used the little bit of sexual need I had left to convince him to abandon the phone. He was being pushy about that and I wasn't a fan of pushy. I definitely had to talk to my friends about this guy. "Wait so you're not available next Friday?" he asked, sounding miffed.

Avoiding looking at him like he was an idiot I instead remarked, "No I'll be out with my friends. Don't worry I'll be back at a reasonable time. I still have boxes and things to get put away on Saturday." I tried to appeal to his 'worried' side although now I wondered if that was truly the case. "Well I just figured your weekends were with me now…and only me." I looked at him now like he was a little bit off.

He definitely seemed to really want all of my free time during the weekends it seemed but that wouldn't be happening. If this is how he was in relationships then this wasn't going to last for very long. He was going to have to learn to accept that I had others in my life that I shared my time with. If he couldn't then sorry to say this but it wouldn't be moving forward that was for damn sure.

"No…I mean yeah we go out and yeah we hang out but my weekends aren't strictly for you. I have my family to see and now my friends." I made sure he knew that I wasn't in a relationship, if you could call it that, with just him. I had other loved ones that I spent my time with to, not just him. He stood up, "I just thought that since your moved in here that there wouldn't be any more or much lesser time spent with them was all." He sounded like he was trying to correct his wording on that one.

Good cause at this point he was starting to seem a little possessive and not in a sweet, good natural way but in a 'my way is the only way' type of feel. The unease I felt from weeks ago was coming back and I was wondering if accepting him into my life was such a grand thing or not. I didn't want to cut him out without knowing if I was making the right decision or not. I decided to ask this to my friends and get their opinions.

Even if they say no I'd still see how it went with him as they weren't exactly in my shoes and were only getting one side really. "Well that's not how I work. I spent time with everyone that I can to keep a balance life. I don't want one area of my life to take over another. I don't want to be consumed and become unbalanced as a result of it." I explain to him as he appeared to be avoiding wanting to pace about. "Is that a problem for you?" I asked. I wondered if he was going to get into an argument over it.

"I…" he began. I was honestly waiting to see if he'd say something akin to it that cause if he did have that problem then we had a problem and he wouldn't win out at the end of it. I would drop him if he couldn't deal with my closeness to my friends and family. I refused to ostracize them simply because he was too selfish to let me go hang with them. I watched him pensively as he gathered his thoughts.

Diamond POV

I couldn't believe she was choosing to hang out with friends rather than with me next week. "I just meant that what I had planned is going to go to waste if we don't get together next week." I didn't have anything planned other than us together having round the clock sex next Saturday but if I had to come up with something I would. "What's that?" she asked. I guess I should have thought about that before saying it.

Before she could realize I made it up I stated, "Well its redundant now as you've already made plans. You should have talked to me about it before making the plans." I placed the guilt trip on her to avoid her figuring it out. "I have to tell you when I'm making plans with friends which got made THIS morning, ahead of time cause you made plans already and DIDN'T communicate them with me to begin with to me?" she asked in a 'the fuck?' voice.

"It's just a case of poor communication is all. Next time tell me sooner and I'll try to make alternate plans." I put the movie on to end the discussion before she could reply back. I wanted to ask her where she'd be at but I knew right now that that wouldn't be an option. She had gotten me riled up with it and now I needed to divert my focus to avoid letting more of my true colors show.

She wasn't ready for it just yet. The less she knew how deep she was in the better it was for me to keep tabs on her. I needed to have and keep her trust and it was kind of hard to do that when you had a different mind-set than the normal guy on keeping what was his. I didn't plan on letting her go. Not when I just got her as mine. After five minutes I felt the urge for sex and wanted it now.

I tried to touch her intimately for sex but she seemed pretty into the movie so when I tried for it by pulling her into my lap, or trying to, she shooed me down and said, "Hey watch the movie." She made it seem placate and stern at the same time. I was peeved now that she stopped me from getting any. I needed a release now that she upset me and I wanted her. I looked over her form on the couch.

She looked so appetizing to nibble and lick and boy did I want to. I went for the remote to pause it but she held it steadfast and looked utterly engrossed in the movie. Since she was saying no and I didn't want to force myself on her…at least not till she didn't something to deserve it…they all do eventually…I thought to myself. I tried to ignore it but sitting next to the object of your lusty thoughts wasn't helpful at all.

I could feel myself getting hotter just by watching her lips move around as she got into the movie. I tried to kiss her but her head automatically evaded me. I sat back down like a perturbed child trying to deal with a time out. I didn't like it and I needed sex. My hard on wasn't going away so I decided on the next best thing. I excused myself to use the bathroom and went to jerk off to her.

Usagi POV

I ignored him as much as I could, pretending to be into the movie. I was peeved still with that little argument and wasn't in the mood for sex. He had been dismissive completely of my words and made it sound like I was in the wrong when I had no clue he had made plans for us. Plus he seemed evasive on the plans to begin with. Why not re-schedule if you did? Why not work it out on common grounds?

Why blame me for something you did? Honestly had I know I would have scheduled it for the following week but to assume I won't share my weekends with anyone else but him was ridiculous. He KNEW I saw my parents on Sundays and knew I had other friends so why was that such a thing for him? I had to many questions now to ask and few chances of getting him to answer them.

He made that pretty clear when I made my first question known and he not only rebuffed it but blamed me and dismissed what I said. That's not communicating for me. That's taking control over the situation and that's not part of a healthy relationship. At least as far as I know. I now needed to talk to my friends about this. Two of them were in long term relationships so they could definitely help me out.

I didn't hear much over the tv but when he let out a strangled yelp it caught my attention. He came out, fifteen minutes later looking a tad relieved. I was stunned. I went to use the restroom after and found bits of a white trail on the floor and some tissues in the garbage. I was stunned. I gathered that since I wasn't in the mood he took care of it himself in here instead. I wasn't sure on how to feel about that.

I left out to enjoy the rest of the movie, or pretend that I was. I was still perturbed by the dismissive attitude he seemed to be developing with me. If it kept going on I'd have to say something to him about it cause this wasn't going to fly for long. Plus for whatever reason I was glad that I avoided sex from him. I shouldn't be glad…right? I should want to have make up sex right? Not avoid it just because I'm perturbed by his actions…right? Now I was becoming confused on the matter.

The rest of the evening went by fine. He left out after the movie as he had a few things to take care of now. I gave him a quick peck before gently shoving him out the door. I had gone back into the bathroom and cleaned the whole thing up. Somehow I felt it needed it now more than before. Scrubbing it down I went to take another shower before heading off to bed. I didn't even have an appetite for food at that point.

The next few days went by in a blur. We found out at work that the bosses boss was making an appearance and while they were cell phone friendly users they weren't accepting of personnel having their phones visible or being used on company time. Understanding of this we all were on our toes to remain off our phones unless for business purposes for those few days. I had missed a few of Diamond's texts till lunch time when I was able to answer them.

He seemed once again perturbed that I couldn't answer his texts right away but calmed down once I explained that it was a busy few days, which it had been. We had to get our supply orders out and taken care of before the deadline or else the events that we were working on for the following week wouldn't be her in time. We had work to do and it had a specific time frame to get done in.

Especially with the big bosses coming in. Diamond however seemed to enjoy blowing up my phone though. I was beginning to wonder what the hell he did at his job to be able to be on his phone that much. Unless his job was that slow or he didn't have one. Things I should have found out before now that I didn't. That was my own fault. I let myself get pulled into bed before finding that out.

All I really knew about him now that I thought on it was that he lived a few units down from mine and that he really liked me. Apparently more than I liked him. If his repeated texts were any indication. So when Thursday came so did the first arrival of the bosses. I shoved my phone that day into my purse as even the vibration was loud enough to be heard on occasion. These respective elders in charge of the company wanted to see how well their office was being operated and controlled.

So when my boss asked me to show them what we had planned for their dinner party next week when the overseas representatives came over I was ecstatic and a bit scared. I mean these were the heads of the company, you had to not just look respectable but BE respectable and obviously knowledgeable enough to show that you're here to be committed to the company and not just as a regular job. I showed them to every part of the building they asked to see while my boss stood there with me and them.

They were very happy about the events taking place next week and were glad that everything was already handled. My boss even smiled at me for a job well done in not only keeping it up but during my recent move as well. I felt a bit of personal pride that I had managed it so well this week. So when lunch came and went I was feeling a little hungry. When three hit everyone had to acknowledge that we needed food. The bosses boss even took us out for a late lunch as a way of saying thanks for the tour and good to have you on our team.

So when I got back to my phone at almost five since they stayed till 4:30 talking to the our boss, I found there to be at least over a dozen texts messages from Diamond. As if that wasn't enough there were at least five missed calls and four voicemails. I was so stunned by the amount of them all that I didn't readily hear my boss talk to me at the end of the day, "Boy problems?" she asked in a nice manner.

She was just happy the visit today went well, "Sort of…" I responded semi concerned. "Is this usual for a boyfriend to leave?" I asked her and showed her the missed calls and texts. "Seems a little excessive but he could just be worried about you. Tell him your fine it was just work related that you couldn't accept anything today." Feeling somewhat comforted by that I texted him back that it had been a monster of a day but ended on a positive note.

Before I could tell him what the positive note was he blasted back with 'so you couldn't send out a text or something that said 'I'll be busy, text or call later?' while he did have a small point at the same time he hadn't called or texted when I left my phone and I'm not going to assume he's going to text me that day or even assume that he wasn't busy himself at work or something. I looked over at my car and texted back 'next time I'll text that no matter what.' I got in to read the text 'u better' before letting the phone go on the passenger seat.

It bounced around for a moment before settling. Something about that bothered me. I felt a little bit like there was some power of control going on here yet not completely. Suddenly I was glad it was Thursday. One more day and I could hang with my girls. When I got back to my place I was greeted by a text that read 'glad ur home'. I looked around and found that his own places lights were out as were mine.

How the hell did he know I was home? Now I was way more than just curious. I was wracking my brain for a logical reason for his knowing where I was so I texted back 'how do u know?' it took a moment but he responded 'at home myself, have a headache so lights are all out but I saw your cars headlights'. Oh…okay…I guess. I felt it was logical but somehow I didn't believe him on it. I looked over to try and see if one could see clearly into the apartment he was in but no avail, I couldn't.

"Maybe since he's inside he can see things due to the reflection." I guessed. I'd only ever know if I went into my place, assuming we had the same type of windows and glass, that I could see his place from my angle inside to. I grabbed my keys and went inside finding that if you were in the right area you could see but that would also venture into what his angle was and what his place looked like from the inside to know for sure.

I ended up, once I was settled inside texting back 'ok…getting dinner now, will see u next week'. I was busy this weekend after all. 'when?' was his response back so I texted 'not sure yet, will let u know of any plans'. I assured him. His last text for the evening was 'u better' again. I hated to admit it but the way he texted it upset me. I was beginning to feel more and more like this wouldn't work out either way. Some of his responses to different things were getting me agitated with him.

The following day went by fine, the bosses were still traveling around so we had more time to get our work done. Which was good since I had a hang out session with the girls planned out. I didn't even bother to go back home, I just went straight to the restaurant we always went to. It was a quiet little place that served good food and had a relaxing atmosphere. I sat down to see them again.

"So any new guys in your life?" Minako asked me, taking a sip of her frosty drink. I sat down and remarked, "Yeah actually." It got her and our friend Ami's attention. "Oh who is it?" she asked. My blue haired friend may be a doctor but even she had been dating for a while now, "This guy who lives a few units away, well more like nine but anyways…he's nice…" I began, trying to figure out how to describe him.

"What is it?" Minako asked me, knowing something was up, "Well he's nice and sweet but sometimes he can be a bit off or much. Take for instance when we went to the festival." I let them know what happened or at least what appeared to have happened to the vendor guy, "If it is true then he has some issues. If its coincidence then its coincidence." Minako responded, "Is there anything else." Ami asked.

So I told them about how he and I first met and boy did I see some bugged out eyes on my friends, "Wait he did?" Minako was stunned, "I don't know about him…" Ami was ever the careful reserved one and safety conscious. "That's another funny thing, I don't know much about him." I couldn't tell if this was more being lame on my part or evasion on his part, but I expressed that to.

"Usagi you've done nothing wrong other than not press for details but he could have also had a rough start in life and that's why he's not big on talking." Minako kind of dead ended herself on that one. "Thanks." I remarked, "What I mean is even though you could have pressed and where I would have pressed you didn't and maybe that's a good thing. Did you look him up on one of those websites for back-rounds?" she asked.

I couldn't believe it, "I hadn't even thought of that." I muttered. Ami was quick to pull out her phone and ask, "What's his name?" "His name is Diamond…damn…" it just occurred to me then, "He evaded talking about himself in so many respects that I don't even know it." I admitted astonished in myself. I literally knew vast little about him. "He always evaded talking about himself. Always asked to know more about me." I noted.

"So basically you have idea who he is other than he lives near you and his first name and et all this has been going on?" yeah that made it look worse, "Well that's only a portion of it to." I told them about the debate we had before his dismissive attitude came into play. "Yeah I would have corrected him straight on that one. You're too nice." Minako commented, "Yeah well something seemed off last night to." now Ami looked at me like 'what the hell?'

It did sound like I was complaining a lot, "Sorry, I'm really making this about me aren't I?" Minako waved her hand in the way, "Relax its fine, what seemed off?" she asked. "Well it almost seemed like he knew where I was even though I couldn't tell if he was at home or not." I explained in my detail which the girls were trying to figure out what to make of it. "Its plausible that that's the truth." Ami regarded.

"Plus when I couldn't be reached at work yesterday he was angry at me for not telling him I'd be busy at work. Was I in the wrong on that one?" I asked them. both were no's. "No sweetie if he cant understand that you work and your not able to get in touch with him he's being unreasonable." I nodded, "Yeah, still at the same time he was probably thinking that you should have sent out a text saying 'hey I'm going to be busy for a while, wont be able to talk, talk later.' Or something to that effect." I nodded again as it was similar to what Diamond said.

"Hey you mentioned earlier this week about that event your setting up for the coming week right?" I looked over at Minako in curiosity, "Hai?" I replied, "Well when you put your phone away for the day make sure check it at the end and seeing he texted or called but make sure to text that before hand that you'll be busy and can't talk for a while." I agreed to the idea as we ordered some food.
