12Well, I seem to have fixed the bold letters in the last chapter, I really don't know what happened. Ah, thank you for your review Owl Cookies and AnimeTheYaoiDrug
You both make a strong point. I am glad you read my profile before reviewing as well Owl Cookies.
Everything you say is indeed true, I am not so good on grammar and spelling. As you can see of course. I have been looking for a Beta-reader and I had one. She never finished my other stories so I shrugged it off. I don't like Beta-readers sometimes because I really hate waiting for my chapters to be done. Please understand that. I really try my best, but... Meh, I am not the best. I know that you aren't flaming me and I appreciate the advice a lot, and I will take the advice into thought.
So, I will be uploading this chapter and yes I used a spell checker this time as well as a grammar check. I don't think the grammar check did that good of a job though, so..ugh yeah.
Enjoy?
After that night.
Something in me changed forever, I became more determined to stand on my own two feet, to prove I was capable to stand on my own two feet.
I got a job.
Yes, I Death the kid got a job.
It wasn't too much, just a job as a waiter. I was a waiter for the same restaurant that pulled me up on my feet.
But today was different, want to know how? Well.
I walked blindly to the next table where I was supposed to be serving. I stood, looking down at my note-pad, Before speaking. "Hello, Can I get you something?" I asked with a soft sigh, I hated getting up every morning, but I still did. "Hey." I heard a familiar voice, so I looked up from my note-pad, I twitched at the sight. "I'm going to kill Tsubaki.." I muttered under my breathe as I gripped my note-pad. "What? A mans gotta eat too." I heard the red-eyed male chuckle.
My eyes just narrowed at him as I tapped my pen, waiting for him to order. "How about a coffee oh and a number 4?" He asked and I just shook my head at him. "We don't have number 4's at this restaurant." I replied, I had to keep myself from sounding cold. "Then I'll just take a coffee." I nodded my head at his order as I wrote it down. I began to turn away when he spoke again. "I like the suit. A lot." I heard him call out, I blushed slightly. "Thanks." I replied to him before walking, I tried to walk straight but I just ended up bumping into a table. I never saw the smile he had on his tanned skin.
A new day.
Today I woke up angry, I hated him. I hated myself. Whenever I thought about everything I went through, The blood. The sweat. The tears. The pain and finally. The hate.
Every time I thought about it, it made me hate him. I hated him to the point where I could kill him. Make him suffer. It was just a random thought but, I still felt it.
As I looked at myself in the mirror, I smiled. I looked perfect, by myself and oh did I love the feeling of being alone and independent. I brushed down my blue jeans and buttoned up my white shirt.
That very same night.
There I was in my work uniform, I wore a pair of black skinny jeans, a small black apron that was wrapped around my waist, rather tightly at that! My shirt was wrinkled from the full day of work, I had took of my tie as soon as all the customers were gone. I was closing up after all, I should have at least gotten comfortable. Which I did.
I continued to pick up the plates as well as the left overs, Jeez this was tiring, Being on my feet all day sucked because right now. I could hardly feel my legs.
I continued to wipe down the counters with a clean rag, I was laughing too. My boss was always the funniest, he was always so practical.
Why am I laughing? I would think to myself. But then I remembered, I was living life. Even though I was still fighting in court over the divorce I didn't care, it wasn't worth it. I was living a decent life, smiling and laughing at those around me. I had so much fun with the little that I had. I say little because I had a lot more when I was with Stein. But by a lot I meant item wise, that was all he gave me. Clothes, diamonds...stuff. You know I can't even recall the last time I had a good laugh with him.
I shrugged all my thoughts off as I looked to the window, it was raining, in fact it was pouring. I moved over and pulled out my umbrella from the closet, I took my leave from my working area it was time for me to lock up, I walked out and locked the door, slipping the key into the mail box before opening my umbrella. "It's pouring..." I stated the obvious with a small smile.
But at times like this I wish I had saved more money, so I could have my own car. I gripped my handle tighter as I began to walk. I walked into I reached the sign, the one I was looking for. The number 88 bus stop, I stood against the pole and waited endlessly for a bus to arrive, it had been a hour and it still didn't show up, but you know what did? A red motor cycle. I stared at the person on the motorcycle for a while before the person pulled his helmet off. "Tsubaki told me to come pick you up, dude."
"No thanks." I replied , looking past him for a bus, I guess he took notice of the fact I was waiting for the bus. Because the next thing he said to me was. "The next bus wont be here for an hour." I twitched, the ride was tempting but I declined again. "I will survive." I muttered, I then took a look at the other male, his hair was wet and fell perfectly the way it stuck to his face, by golly it was sexy. I shook my head from those thoughts when I heard him speak again. "Why do you hate me? Or better yet why are you so mean?" He asked me and I blinked. "Why are you so nice?" I asked with an arched eye brow. "You forget that not everyone in this world is mean." He said softly. I just sighed again before looking around, the rain wasn't that bad. Oh wait I just lied, my body jumped when I heard a loud crack of thunder.
"You'll take me straight home?" I asked with a slightly panicked look on my face. "Any where you wanna go, just hop on." He replied to me quickly, I just gave a simple nod before throwing my leg over the back of his bike and straddling on it, my arms attached to his waist and I shut my eyes tightly as he began to pull off. I had dropped my umbrella long ago.
"This weather is sick dude..." I heard him try to make small talk, his voice was louder due to the sound of the moter, I didn't reply to him, I just looked away as the rain brushed by me, I knew I had to be soaked from head to toe by now. "You know what, I'm kinda hungry. Wanna grab a bite?" I grew annoyed of this 'small-talk'. "No I've got plenty of food at home." I replied.
"Really? I was thinking a nice hot burger with some fries."
"From where? McDonalds?" I asked with an eye-roll and gained a laugh from the male. "No dude, there is this awesome club. They've got the best burgers in town, slide that in with decent fries and great music and you've got a good time." I looked at him, my expression softening slightly. "You mean...'Club n go'?" I asked, my chin resting on his shoulder. "Yeah that's the place dude, it's where all the coolest of the cool hang, that's why I'm always there." I just sighed and shook my head. "Can't.." I muttered and he turned his head my way, well not all the way. "Why not?" I blushed, this was so embarrassing. "I can't afford it.." I half whispered. "Don't worry 'bout it dude, I got it."
"You got it?"
"Yeah."
"...And what do you do? I don't hang with-"
"Chill, I'm a mechanic. I got the bill for this."
"Yeah well...This is not a date."
"Yeah Yeah sir."
It was silent the whole way, until we arrived at the club, the music wasn't loud but you could just hear it faintly from the outside, I got off the bike and tried to make myself as presentable as possible, which was hard to do when your clothes were sticking to you like skin.n I tugged on my white shirt before looking at Soul, how the hell did he still look dry? I didn't even question it anymore.
We walked in after about 15 minutes of me trying to dry myself.
When we were seated and ordered, I took time to look around and take in my surroundings, everyone was either sat at a booth or own the dance floor as music played, it was a slow song which surprised me a lot. When the food came I began eating my fries with a fork, I ate quietly as I looked upon my food, my chewing ceased when I felt eyes on me, I looked up and my yellow eyes met a pair of blood-red ones. "What? Is there something on my face?" I asked with an arched eye-brow. "No.." I heard from the other side of the table. "Then what?" I asked again, the other male was starting to annoy me. "I'm staring at a very handsome male."
I looked down at my fries before I spoke again. "Is that all you see a handsome face?" I said after taking a bite. "No." Now he had my attention, I looked up at him. "I see someone who's been hurt. And he taught himself how to be stronger. Very strong too, he locked the key away to his heart so he could never be hurt." Soul spoke as his chin rested on the palm of his hand. "And how do you know all this?" I asked, my voice was quiet, I couldn't yell at him because every word he said was true. "Because I went through the same exact thing."
"And tell me, do everyone of the guys you pick up fall for that?" I asked, my legs were now crossed as my hands rested on my lap. "I don't pick-up guys. I had a bad break-up about two years back and since then I've been happily-cool and single since." I just sighed, now I felt guilty. "Well...I guess we've had a tough time.." I mumbled as I looked towards the music area.
"This one is for all you love birds out tonight." The DJs' voice rang through the club as he began to play another slow love song. My eyes were on the DJ, Soul's eyes were up there too.
My eyes constantly shifted to the other male who seemed to be humming along to the song, every time he looked in my direction I averted my eyes back to the DJ, we continued like that for a while until I spoke up. "So what did you do?" I asked, he replied with a dumb facial expression. "What do you mean?" He asked, his voice told me that he really had no idea what I was talking about. I planted my face in my palm before looking back at the moron that sat in front of me. "What did you do to make your lover leave you." I stated.
"She left me for a big-time movie producer, he apparently gave her everything I couldn't." Soul replied, ah there was another pang of pain in my heart. "I'm so sorry..." I spoke to him, eyes slightly widened.
Everything was silent for a few moments, as usual Soul broke the silence. "Dance?" I looked at him and shook my head nervously. "I'm still in uniform and I'm damp.." I mumbled, playing with my fingers. "That's cool dude, now lets dance." He stood and with a swift motion he pulled me onto my feet. I leaned into his arms, still not being used to being pulled onto my feet so quickly. I blushed slightly as he pulled me closer and our bodies began to move to the slow song that continued to play endlessly, I wouldn't lie, part of my wanted this to never end.
My chin on his shoulder and his arm around my waist, his hand located in my mid back area, my body was pressed to his as our fingers intertwined, we continued to dance slowly before he whispered in my ear. "To tight?" he asked, I never replied I just continued to move in rhythm with the other male. After awhile I decided to reply to him, "It's fine." I spoke softly to him, why couldn't he just let me go? I took in his smell, despite working in a dirty area he managed to smell so clean.
This was to much for me to handle, couldn't he just say something stupid already and kill the moment? "You know...This feels almost to good to be real.." I heard him whisper, I blushed slightly and looked at him, our lips were about two inches apart from each other as our breath mixed in with one another. "How so?" I asked. "Keeping you close with my arms around you..." I heard him speak, Good lord he was a great flirt. "I used to..." I trailed off, my last words never finishing because the song had ended.
We pulled up to my cousins house, I took notice that every single light was off and that the house could hardly be seen, my arms unwrapped from the other males waist. "Well heres your stop I guess." I nodded slightly, my black bangs covering most of my face as I pushed myself off of the seat, the rain had ended sometime between our time at the club.
"Thanks.."
"No problem dude, but uh... I'd like to see yah' around still. "
I was caught off guard at what he had just said, I shook my head. "Look...I-" He cut me off with his voice. "You can be a wimp and say no or you can take the hard way and say yes." I smiled slightly at him, he was being so kind. "I mean what's so bad at chilling' and hanging out, you know being friends." I nodded my head. "Nothing I guess."
"Correct, So I'll see you tomorrow?"
"You Anna go out again?"
"This wasn't a date."
I laughed a little and nodded my head, he was right tonight wasn't a date. "See you tomorrow." I repeated after him before making my way to the hardly seen home.
