Thanks for the review dragonsofthe8elements and ronniieroxxx.

Okay, I don't' know why, but sometimes the horizontal line things don't show up. So I started using an 'X' to separate the scenes.

It's July 31, Grimmjow's birthday! I was finished this chapter the other day, but decided to wait and post it today. Not much happens in this chapter, but lots of drama in the next one, sorry.


Even though Nicara disliked PDA, Grimmjow and her started to hold hands and give each other light kisses in public once in a while. This evening, since Grimmjow had nothing better to do, he decided to walk his girlfriend to work. It wasn't necessary of course, but she didn't complain. It was actually kinda sweet of him, one of the little things that she loved about him.

Before he left, he leaned down to kiss Nicara on the cheek, or so she thought. Instead, he stole a kiss on the lips, smiling with satisfaction when he pulled away to see her wide eyed and blushing. He loved it when he caught her in surprise. He could tell she wanted to make a fuss about kissing in public, but kept it to herself since it would be a waste of breath. Ruffling her hair, he gave her one last kiss on the forehead and headed home.

With a rosy face, Nicara walked into the staff room only to be greeted with an unfamiliar voice.

"Was that your boyfriend?" A young woman asked. She looked like she was in her early twenties, medium length hair, and a curvy body.

It was a simple question, but Nicara didn't like sharing personal information with strangers. "Sorry, who are you?"

"Oh, you don't know? I 'm the new part-time waitress. The names Chloe."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Nicara." They gave each other a quick hand shake, Chloe going right back on topic.

"So Nicara, are you and the blue haired hunk together? Or just friends with benefits?"

She let out a small cough. "The 'blue haired hunk' is my boyfriend," Nicara firmly stated, making it clear Grimmjow was not her boy toy.

"Oh dang it," she sighed, putting on a pouty face. "I was hoping I'd get a turn with him."

Nicara raised a brow. "Excuse me?" Did she just hear this woman correctly? Was she trying to pick a fight?

Chloe laughed, "I'm just teasing you. But I have to say, he doesn't look like the settling down committed type. You might wanna put a leash on him."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Men like him like to look for women with...," She paused, " ...bigger assets," she finished, puffing out her own D size breasts.

Nicara looked away grumbling, "He's not like that." However, there was that time during New Years when Grimmjow got a ride home with some woman because he was drunk. At the time they weren't dating yet, but it was obvious that woman was probably a stripper. Furthermore, who knows how involved they got. She never bothered asking cause honestly, she didn't want hear the details.

Chloe shrugged. "We'll see," she muttered.

While waiting for Nicara to finish work, Grimmjow sat alone at a table, drinking a small beverage. When she was in the back, the new girl, Chloe, decided to have a friendly chat with him. She had her skirt hitched up nice and high and leaned over, giving him a nice view of her assets. Grimmjow, being a man, starred. Sure he was with Nicara, but it didn't mean he couldn't goggle at other women.

"Hey there, I'm a new waitress here, Chloe. I heard you're Nicara's boyfriend, if you ever need anything, just ask." she winked at him.

Nicara walked out of the staff room to see what looked like Grimmjow and Chloe flirting. Her skirt was hardly covering her butt and her breasts spilling out of her shirt.

"Grimmjow," she called.

After hearing his girlfriend's voice, Grimmjow backed into his seat, creating a distance between him and the new girl. Chloe, on the other hand, just slowly straightened her posture.

"Oh hey Nicara," she spoke in an overly friendly voice. "I was just introducing myself to your boyfriend."

Introducing? More like seducing, Nicara thought. "You two can stay and chat, but I need to head home now, bye." She immediately headed straight out of the club, leaving Grimmjow behind.

Nicara's reaction was not the one Grimmjow was looking for. For god's sake, they were dating and there was a woman obviously flirting with him. She should have been furious. She should have told her to fuck off because he belonged to her. Like before at the mall, she'd just leave the scene as if it were nothing. Did she really not care? Anyhow, her reaction was pissing Grimmjow off.

About half way home, he caught up to Nicara. He was about to grab her hand, but she noticed and pulled it away.

"What the fuck is your problem?" he growled.

"Me? I didn't do anything. I was letting you finish chatting with Chloe, who you were really preoccupied with." She sounded angry, and at the same time, upset.

"The girl came to me," Grimmjow stated, trying to clear things up.

"You didn't seem to mind though, your eye's were all over her."

"Well she did have some nice looking tits." The words slipped off his tongue before he realized what he just said.

Nicara looked at him with disbelief, did he really just say that? Was she angry? Yes, but she didn't want to show it, so once again she walked away from Grimmjow.

When she got home, Nicara cooped herself in her room. Doing what? Homework, and avoiding Grimmjow. Usually she wouldn't be so upset with Grimmjow's remark, but after Chloe's comment she couldn't help but feel insecure. When she saw him enticed by Chloe's body, it only made her confidence plummet.

Sometimes she wished Grimmjow wasn't so damn good looking. If he was an average looking guy she wouldn't be so self conscious right now; She'd stand up and tell other women to back off her boyfriend. But he wasn't average looking, he was drop dead handsome and could be an international underwear model. She could only shyly admit she was his boyfriend while woman looked at her with disapproval. He just seemed to good to be true.

Deciding to give her some space, he didn't chase after her the second time. He knew she was upset with what he said, but he didn't do anything wrong. All he did was tell the truth; the woman did have nice tits. If she was going to be mad at him for no reason, so be it.

Hopefully not for long though. Tomorrow would be the weekend, which meant their 'cuddle night,' and he definitely didn't want to miss it. He'd been dying to make out with her all week, more than usual. On school days she'd only allow small peck's on the cheek, always to shy to show any PDA and busy with homework. The weekend was the only time he could have Nicara all to himself.

Grimmjow didn't apologize, and yet there she lie underneath him, sweaty and breathless. Kissing Nicara seemed to a very effective method of shutting her up. It was a bit of a sleazy trick, but he could tell she was yearning for the kiss as well.

She rejected him at first, but eventually gave in. She could never stay mad at him for long. Her mind was saying no, but her body was saying yes. She liked Grimmjow a lot, but sometimes she felt they weren't communicating their problems effectively. Every time she wanted to talk to him about something, he'd ignore her or just kiss it all away. When he touched her, all her worries would disappear, making her mind go blank. She needed to learn to control herself more; however with Grimmjow's brute strength she'd always end up underneath.

Tonight Grimmjow had been more greedy and sloppy than usual. When he kissed her, it was if he was drunk, except their was no trace of alcohol coming from his breath. He'd placed several hickies on her chest. Usually they'd be very light, but thees one's would last a few days. She didn't mind hickies, but it was just annoying when she needed to wear a lower neckline shirt. That was probably the point though, so other guys could see she was already taken.

"Grimmjow?"

"Hmm...?", he muttered, pulling away from her neck.

"Why are you so greedy tonight?"

"I'm always greedy. You're lucky I'm already holding myself back."

"Is that so?"

He laughed darkly. "You have no idea."

"Why do you hold back?"

"Cause you'd hate me if I tried to fuck you right now," He bluntly stated.

Oh... thought Nicara. "Smart move."

Grimmjow being the man he was, wanted to go further than cuddling and kissing. Nevertheless, he knew he couldn't cross that line. If he didn't care so much about Nicara, he would've taken what he wanted and be long gone. This woman, however, was different. She captured his attention, not with her body like the others, but with her ambitious personality. She was a keeper, and he wasn't going to take his chances.

"That doesn't mean I won't try anything on ya."

His hand snaked down her shirt and groped her breasts. Nicara groaned in pleasure and embarrassment, lightly slapping his hand away.

The next few nights, Grimmjow continued to be more touchy and impatient. Nicara allowed it because it was the weekend, but now it was Monday night, and he wouldn't stop breathing down her neck.

"Give me some space. I'm trying to finish my homework."

Instead of backing away like he usually would, he wound his arms around Nicara's waist and nibbled on her earlobe.

"Grimmjow!" she yelped, surprised by his actions. "Did you even hear what I -"

He shut her up with a kiss. "You can finish it some other time," he breathed, tossing her onto the bed. He began kissing her everywhere and groping her body. Moan's escaped Nicara's mouth, but not all from pleasure. The way he was touching her body wasn't the usual perverted playfulness, they were hasty and rough.

"Grimm... stop." she murmured, blocking his lips from contacting her.

He only laughed, "You're cute when you're angry."

"Grimmjow," she stated, trying to push him away. "I'm serious."

He ignored her and continued kissing her body.

"Grimmjow!" she yelled, firmly pushing him off, causing him to roll off the bed and land on the floor. Taking a second to fix her clothes, Nicara grabbed her jacket and headed towards the front door.

"Where are you going?" he called, scrambling off the floor attempting to chase after her.

"To get some air!" She roughly slammed the door behind her, not bothered to lock it.


Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Nicara headed to Orihime's house hoping to get some boy advice from both her and Rangiku. The boy, or better yet, man, being Grimmjow. As predicted the two girls were there and listened to her problem.

"Grimm's been acting weird all week. He's been really greedy and when he kisses me it's like he's going to eat me up. I don't know what's wrong with him."

Neither one of the big breasted beauties had anything to say at first, until Rangiku blurted, "Have you two had sex yet?"

Nicara's face blushed beat red from the question. "Of course not, Rangiku!" What did she take her for? Of course she hadn't slept with Grimmjow yet. What would she do if she got pregnant? They weren't even finished high school yet. Besides, she already promised her mom that she wouldn't.

"Sheesh, no need to be so embarrassed. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if you two already did it. I wouldn't blame you if you decided to, you know, spread your legs. He's got one hell of a body, he's probably sexually frustrated."

Nicara sighed, forehead resting in her hand. "Rangiku, please be serious."

"I am!"

Nicara had a feeling Rangiku would say something like that, so she turned to her orange haired friend for some guidance. "Orihime, got any better advice?"

She nodded, excited it was her turn to share her ideas. "Hmmm...well you said he's been acting different within the last week?"

"Yeah..."

"Well Spring is just starting, so a lot of flowers are starting to bloom, and animals are coming out of hibernation. Do you think it has to do with his animal side?"

Nicara had been told that Grimmjow was some type of panther thing before, but idea just sounded bizarre. How was he a cat before and now in a human like body? Nonetheless, the whole arrancar stuff was confusing, but it wasn't a big deal. It didn't matter what he was, he is what he is now, and that's all that matters.

Suddenly, it hit Rangiku. "Matting season," she gasped.

"Mating season?" Nicara asked dumbfoundly.

"Grimmjow was a panther like adjuchas, and right now it must be matting season, which explains why he's been so sexually attracted to you."

"Are you sure?" Nicara questioned, her voice full of doubt. Was Rangiku actually being serious, or just joking around again?

Rangiku rolled her eyes. "Com'on, we'll just look it up."

Orihime quickly searched the internet on her phone. "According to the website, mating season for panther's just started. Every male panther will look for a female and will not stop until he has found a mate."

"So...?"

"In other words, Grimmjow's going to continue being sexually frustrated until he has sex with someone."


Had lots of fun writing the bus and mall scenes, but Grimmjow and Nicara's relationship is going to get a little more serious.

Next update: Probably end of August or beginning of September. I 'm having a huge writer's block at the moment, so yeah, updates will be slow.
