2 weeks ... It's been 2 weeks since I've heard from Seiya. Everything seemed to have gone back to normal ever since then, but only slightly.
The girls kept on dropping hints to me about Seiya and I pretend that it went over my head so that they'd just drop it already, but it seemed to have made them more persistent.
Minako-chan even had the nerve to ask me whether or not I had "steamy, hot make-up sex against the wall" with Seiya yet. I almost spontaneously combusted and whacked her upside the head for even entertaining the ... The sick thought of me ever giving into him so ... Easily.
Well, you were to giving into him weeks ago when he had you pressed against your car and you ground your - SHUT UP!
"URGH!" I snarled to myself, throwing my brush across the room and resumed drinking my tea.
You know that you want to see and talk to him, even if it's to yell at him again. You've done exhausted all of your .... equipment and hands trying to push him from your mind, which hasn't worked at all. You've only made yourself much more frustrated than you already were.
I rolled my eyes at myself. "Yeah right, " I quipped, taking one last sip of my drink before my eyes fluttered to the calling card beside me.
"Have this to call me at least when you're ready to talk ..." I heard Seiya's voice saying within my head before it decided to repeat itself.
"... to talk ..."
"... to talk ..."
"... TO TALK!"
A shriek wretched itself from my throat as I snatched up the cursed thing that's been taunting me for the past 2 weeks.
Moving to dial Seiya's number, I paused.
Do you really want to risk him sweet talking you back into his arms? Because it'll be quite stupid of us to allow him back in after what he did years ago. We can't afford to be hurt again.
I ran that over and over in my mind several times before finally dialing up his number and waited for him to answer.
He picked up after a second ring. "Hello?" he breathed, sounding quite groggy.
Damn his voice is still sexy as hell when it's early in the morning. I wish that I could - PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!
"If this is some kind of prank, I swear that -," he started, practically growling into the phone before I cut him off nervously.
"Anou ... It's me ... Usagi, " I said, wanting to hit myself for sounding like a lovesick school girl calling her crush.
That seemed to have gotten him to wake him up fully as he exclaimed in surprise, "You actually called me?!"
I held in a laugh at his astonishment about my calling him and replied, "Don't get any bright ideas, Kou. I only called you because ... Because I was sick and tired of looking at your calling card." Great! Now I look desperate!
A slight chuckle sounded from him before he squashed it down. "So, what do you want to know?" he prompted, taking on a much more calmer demeanor than before.
Well, he is an actor ... A damn good one too! Maybe we can - NO!
Readjusting my robe, I stated, "I want you to meet me at my apartment. I'll send you the address after I hang up. No funny business either when you get here."
He hummed, "As you wish, Odango-hime."
Hearing his pet name for me sent my heart fluttering and cringing at the sound of it.
I've missed him calling me that ...
A slight smile spread across my face. Surely it looked silly and resembled a love-struck teenage girl, but it didn't stop me from feeling good. "See you soon, Seiya. Please ... Don't make me regret this, " I sighed, allowing myself to be completely honest with him.
Seiya took only a few seconds to reply to me and it had me beaming brilliantly.
"You won't. I promise you this ...." were his last words before he hung up.
I texted him my address and resumed my previous activity of lounging on the couch.
Maybe you should get dressed or better yet - put on a bra.
I looked down at myself with a blush, wrapping my robe around myself tighter. Then a snort escaped me as another thought occurred.
Why should I care if I'm still in my sleepwear around my ex-boyfriend? I doubt he'd notice anything since he probably has a wife by now.
A slight sense of nausea hit me at that thought, but I shrugged it off and changed the channel of my TV.
Almost half an hour passed before a knocking sound occurred from the other side of my apartment.
He got here really fast!
I got up, moving over to the door. Readjusting my top and robe once more to make sure that I didn't magically slip out what little bit of curves I did have, I opened the door and gave him a once over.
A smirk was across his face as I gave him a once over. "Ah, I see that my Odango Atama hasn't changed one bit whenever it comes to looking me up and down, let alone wearing stuff like that, " he teased, his eyes moving over me appreciatively on his way inside.
I rolled my eyes at how he hasn't changed at all, even though one part of me seemed to not mind that since my eyes were now glued onto his jean-covered buttocks.
He turned around, smirk still present, and blew me a kiss when he realized what I was doing.
I snorted, shutting my door. "As if!" I hissed and moved back over to my kitchen. "Would you like some tea?"
Seiya shrugged, "Sure as well as ..." He paused, doing whatever behind me after I've already turned my back to him.
Narrowing my eyes at him, I placed a hand on my hip as I used the other to refill the pot. "You want what else, Seiya?" I sneered, waiting for him to just spit it out.
His eyes met mine, and I almost gasped at the intensity and heat behind it as he finally added without a hint of his earlier teasing.
"... you."
My heart and stomach basically did leaps and bounds after hearing that. I could almost went over to him and kissed him if I hadn't came back to my senses.
Resuming my task at hand of brewing tea for us both, I glared at him and snapped, "You lost me years ago after what you did, so don't even go there. And stop looking at me like that - surely your girlfriend or wife won't appreciate you doing that." I turned my back on him once more, which turned out to be a stupid mistake because before I knew it - he had his arms around my waist.
"I don't have a wife nor a girlfriend, Odango. I only want you to be either of those things, " he breathed against the shell of my ear, brushing my hair to the side.
I almost melted against him, but I turned around to glare at him once more.
"You lost that opportunity years ago, Kou, so don't go there, " I pointed out ... or at least I tried to since he was still giving me that look that he gave me weeks ago last time I've seen him.
"Would you stop looking at me like that?" I demanded, feeling basically naked and hot beneath his gaze.
But that only seemed to make him much more bolder as he smirked and leaned in closer. His body caging mine against the counter as his silky voice washed across my ears.
"Why not?" he cooed, tucking a few strands of hair behind my ear and tilted my chin to meet his gaze.
His lips brushed against mine in tender caresses, sending me a blaze with all the feelings I still had for him.
"Seiya ... " I muttered against his lips, reaching my arms upward to ...
... shove him away from me to give him another glare. My arms crossed in defiance, my foot tapping impatiently.
"Tell me why I should even consider giving you another chance after you threw it away years ago. Why should I let you back into my life and risk getting hurt again? Why should I allow you back under my skin?" I went on, waiting for him to give up this stupid façade that he built up but the next thing that came from his lips left my mouth dry.
"Because I never lied or cheated on you and you know it deep down inside of you that I'm telling the truth, Usagi. We met not have known each other entirely, but you know that I'd never do such a thing to you then or now because ..."
"Because of what?" I prodded, waiting for him to say something self-centered or crack a joke.
But instead his gaze seemed to intensify as he pulled me closer to growl out those words that were my kryptonite when it comes to him.
"I love you and only you. Simple as -, " he was soon cut off as I soon found myself kissing him passionately, not wanting to let go.
