The new love
A/N: Hey Aalitichi here. It feels good to be writing with my original name ^^. Hope you guys enjoy this new fic. It’s AAMRN. If you don’t like AAMRN and think it’s a bogus category, don’t read it. The chapters are very short, but hey quality is better than quantity. I like to thank Rayza16 for helping me with this fic. You rock man!!!!!!!!
“Hey why don’t you be my partner in the balloon throwing contest?” The guy stared at Misty between locks of unruly brown golden curls. “What? Don’t you trust me? I’ll make sure we’ll win” he muttered with a lopsided grin.
“No I don’t trust you and it won’t be very hard to win if our competition is a couple of 5 year olds, Zieck” she giggled.
He shrugged, brought his face inches away from hers and muttered, “Your loss then.”
Misty gulped, as he tore away from her and walked towards the group of little kids waving happily at him. Zieck was very handsome indeed and this did not go unnoticed by the girls, including Misty. Maybe it was the way his hair brushed his hazel eyes or maybe his lightly tanned and athletic body. Misty watched him take off his shirt and then sniggered softly.
It was a beautiful Saturday morning and in an attempt to raise money to add a new wing to their gym, Misty and her sisters organized a Kids Day at their gym. Kids from around the city could come to the gym and participate in water games and play with water pokemon for the reasonable price of three dollars.
“Okay then. Like, pick a partner kids and like choose which color balloons you want. Remember when you get hit by a balloon you’re out of the game. The last person standing, he or she and the partner will win a day pass to swim with our water pokemon.” said Lily who was wearing short daisy dukes and a loose hanging shirt.
She was standing in the middle of the group of kids and pointed at a couple of baskets beside them, each containing balloons of a specific color.
“Hey Leslie, want to be my partner?” Zieck asked, smiling playfully at a little girl. The young girl with blond ponytails nodded shyly, as Zieck took a hold of her little hand and led her to a basket of pink water filled balloons. “You like pink?” he asked nicely. The girl nodded nervously. Misty couldn’t help but find the scene playing out in front of her quite cute.
“He’s like really nice isn’t he?” Daisy queried, eyeing her sister with a tiny smile.
Misty sighed and nodded in response. “Do you like, like him?”
“No of course not” Misty answered abruptly tearing her eyes away from the handsome young man who was tying a pink ribbon around his arm.
“It’s okay if you like him Misty. He’s gorgeous plus you guys know each other since kindergarten”
She smiled softly. Zieck and Misty did know each other for quite a long time. They’re parents were good friends thus Misty and Zieck became good friends as well. But they had grown apart when she started traveling with Ash and Brock. When she returned home to work with her sisters on the gym, they slowly created a strong bond again. But this time it was a different kind of bond. Now 3 years after her return home Misty had to admit she was head over heels for the boy who became more breathtakingly handsome by the day.
Misty looked on at the kids throwing their balloons happily at each other.
“Zieck duck” Leslie squealed loudly. Zieck ducked just in time as a blue balloon slightly brushed his ear and then broke on the lawn behind him. Misty giggled loudly and clapped. When he heard her laugh he turned around and threw her a smile and bowed.
“Zieck look out!!” Leslie hollered in his direction, but it was too late. A light green balloon hit him on his bare chest.
“Zieck you’re out” Violet called out, smirking.
Zieck shrugged disappointed and a little embarrassed in the direction of little Leslie and walked away. Misty cocked her head sideways in an apologetic matter and smiled softly at the boy who had taken a seat a few meters from hers. He pulled on his white shirt and threw Misty a lopsided grin. Five kids were left in the water balloon fight including Leslie.
“Come on, Leslie” Zieck hollered, clapping loudly. Leslie threw a pink balloon at a freckled face little boy and it splashed him in the face.
“I’m sorry Jacob, but you’re out of the game”
The little boy ran of the lawn with tears in his green eyes.
Misty watched on as Lily ran after him to give comfort and when she brought her eyes back to the balloon fight she could feel a pair of hazel eyes watching her. She smiled softly and looked in the direction of Zieck who also wore a smile on his face.
“Oh my god. Zieck look out!” Misty hollered, bolting upright, but it was yet again too late as a red balloon hit him, soaking his white t- shirt. Misty giggled softly as she watched him look around embarrassedly at the laughing kids.
“Hey Zieck. Come inside I’ll get you a shirt” she giggled. Zieck stood up and walked towards the beautiful redhead. She giggled at the embarrassed look on his face and he shrugged. They started walking towards the gym, Misty still sniggering softly.
“I hope I have a shirt you like”. She opened the big oaken door and beckoned Zieck to get in.
He looked at her between his brown golden locks and threw her a toothy smile, as he entered the gym. Giggling softly, she motioned for him to follow her. The gym was completely empty, since everyone was outside watching the water balloon fight. They could barely hear the kids’ loud cheers anymore as they made their way around the pool.
“I’m dripping water here” he chuckled. “I’m sorry”
“Don’t worry, we’re used to water in a water pokemon gym.” she replied, sticking out her tongue. They walked up the stairs silently, throwing each other smiles. Once they had made it upstairs, she led him towards her bedroom and opened the door. He smiled at her for the millionth time that day and entered her room.
“Uhm Misty I think it’s time you redecorate this room. Isn’t that the Horsea plushy you peed on when we were three?” he chuckled. Misty giggled and pushed him playfully.
“I love my plushy”
“That thing reeks” he replied taking off his wet shirt.
“Leave my plushy alone” she replied searching her closet for a baggy shirt.
“Guess I should. I mean what else do you have to squeeze at night, pretending it’s me?” he muttered.
Misty threw him a glare. “Yeah strange that something that reeks of urine reminds me of you” she threw at him, sticking her tongue out. “Wow you’ve been practicing” he chuckled, sticking his tongue out as well. She walked over to him and handed him two shirts.
“Thank you” he whispered, bringing his face closer to hers.
“Your welcome.” she mouthed.
Zieck did not make any indication that he was going to put some space between them. On the contrary he brought his face even closer to hers and whispered “Can I kiss you?”
The devious look on his face disappeared and was replaced by a look of nervousness mixed with longing.
Misty was dumbstruck. No one had ever asked her permission to get a kiss. Misty looked at him not knowing what to say. Actually she would have most definitely wanted to say yes. Zieck rested his forehead on hers and nudged her nose lightly with his. Misty nodded slowly, in order to let Zieck know that he was allowed to kiss her. He touched her lips lightly with his and wrapped his arms around her waist. Their kiss intensified as Misty ran her hands threw his messy curls, a moan escaping her lips. They tore away from each other as Misty muttered a “wow”.
“You’re welcome” he chuckled, touching his lips.
“Uhm you better get dressed” she muttered, showing indications that she was going to leave her room.
“Wait you’re just going to pretend this never happened? After that kiss?”
“Zieck I…” she started.
“Shhh, come here” he whispered, pulling her towards him, his hands trembling nervously as he did so. He kissed her intensively and moved his hands slowly from the small of her back, pass her long red French braid to the nook of her neck. He moved his lips from hers and started giving her little pecks all over her face. Misty giggled loudly and started pecking him in return. He on his turn chuckled as well.
