Sweet harp music played in the distance, the sound traveled to them, the air swiftly moving the music of angels.Cye brought her closer to him, close enough for her to lay her head on his broad shoulder, and so she did.He wrapped her in a loving embrace, he could feel her heart beating. Sensing this emotion he began kissing her once more, feeling his heart begin to intense as well.The music of angels moved on, the moon shined through the dark, the stars flared so brightly it was as if an audience was watching, things couldn’t have been better. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] “ Sara......grab my hand...where are you ? “. Ash softly yelled in the dark. “ right here.... “ Sara moved her hands around, finally getting a hold of his. “ Where did we run into ? “ Sara asked. “ Maybe a gigantic whale ate us“ He replied sarcastically. “ ha ha..very funny...let’s find the light switch..or anything..this place is so dark”.Ash could tell she displayed an agitated characteristic --even if it was pitch black and impossible to see-- due to her being in this enigmatic environment and him seemingly taunting her.” crap !” Ash yelled.He rubbed his thigh furiously. “ what....you got your first boner “.Sara asked, a simper on her face. “ very amusing......I hit song her.” crap !” Ash yelled.He rubbed his thigh furiously. “ what....you got your first boner “.Sara asked, a simper on her face. “ very amusing......I hit some boxes..... how come you can see me anyway,it’s too dark to see anything.” He turned around and looked at her.” There’s a window right there you idiot...light...window and how come you didn’t wonder how come you could see me ?“ She hinted at him.A small window stood above Ash’s head, it was one of those four framed ones, light from outside seeped into the room. “ ooh” He said feeling really simple-minded. “ Your so cute sometimes “ Sara sighed and gave him a friendly smile. “ Hey, do you hear that music ? “ Ash asked. “ It’s so sweet, I think it’s Damien..sometimes he plays his harp for an audience, to amuse bystanders, but he’s really good at it, always got me dancing”.Sara responded, bobbing her head to the gentle sounds of the harp.“ ooh..well..I’d enjoy to see you dance, maybe I’d even dance with you ”Ash said without thinking, you could tell he was blushing in the way he told her.She smiled at him , very tickled he made such a comment. Ash : ( she thinks I’m cute...I can’t believe I said that..what’s gotten into me now-a-days, first I get jealous about Misty and Cye, now I’m complementing and feeling weird around this girl..Sara...huh) He was tickled about her comment.Feeling very light-hearted and vulnerable to anything at this moment, it was like when he went on his first date with this girl name Natasha, when he was 13, he felt...content. Sara: ( why did I say that...could I have feelings for him..nah.) Sara glided her free hand on the rough walls, until she found an indent in the wall. “ look, I found the switch..boo-ya “ She said happily. “ Boo-ya...? “ He let go of her hand and stared at her confusingly, with a bright smile on his face.“ what are you looking at ?” She flipped the switch and an array of lights permeated the room. Brooms and janitorial appliances were stocked up side by side, on sepia-colored metal shelves.The walls were a purplish-blue mirage.A small window laid above russet-colored crates, that said sponges and soap. The room was quite long yet not that wide, and very disorganized. “ for one,I was looking at your beauty and weirdness, two,we’re in a janitor’s closet“.He said sarcastically, she gave him a sweet yet angry smile.They then both began to convulse hysterically. “ Just liked in pokemon academy school....I was always in the closet...haha..” Sara said, she bent over in laughter.Still giggling, Ash caught her, but fell as well. A strange awkwardness now filled the room.The two both stopped laughing when they noticed what position they had fallen into.Sara lay over ash, her hands planted on the linoleum floors.Ash laid under Sara, fully settled on the ground, his hands wrapped around her lower back. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Sara moved closer, as Ash leaned forward, her hazel eyes connecting with his chocolate-colored eyes.Hearing the door slam open, a skinny old man came walking in, clothed in a dark-green jump suit and a having a bushy mustache, holding a yellow bucket filled with soap and a one torn sponge, looking at the two surprisingly.Sara climbed off of Ash, grabbed his hand,he then stood up, and both led themselves out the door.Giving the man a peachy smiled they Left the white door open and the janitor baffled. ” well.....um......we should find Cye and Misty”. Ash immediately said, trying to forget about the event that ‘could’ have happened back there. Sara : ( did I want to kiss him..I wonder what could have happened if that janitor never came..I wonder how soft his lips are..how..never mind) Ash: ( Should I tell Misty about this, how will she react, how do I know if she even cares, anyway it’s not like me and Sara kissed, though we came close, I should tell her, it wouldn’t hurt ) [][][][][][] Cye let go of Misty and sat on the floor, leaning on the concrete wall of the ledge, his legs wide open, inviting misty to lay down with him.She sat in between his legs, his hands wrapped around her stomach, her hands softly laying over his.She titled her head back enough to see his face.He bent down and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, making her blush deeply. “ so, do you want to go out tomorrow ?” He asked hoping she wouldn’t decline his invitation. “ When and where ?” She touched his hands passionately yet curiously. “ At 3:00 PM, dress casually and I’ll pick you up at your house, just don’t forget to tell me where you live”. He gave her a loving smile.” You’ll see when you drive me home tonight”.” So, now I’m your driver”.Turning over to face him, she stood on her knees, and looked deep in his eyes, in a way searching for something. ” No, you’re more than that to me”. She smiled at him. Filled with desire, he leaned closer and gave her butterfly kisses on the neck.Tracing his fingers down her neck while she favored every moment he delicately pecked her sweet neck. Sara and Ash went back where they had separated.The officer still stood by the elevator, whistling a hymn. “ Officer, did you see where a red-headed girl and Cye Bryant leave to“ ,Sara asked, hoping to find them soon and leave this ‘after-party’ that had turned to a real drag. “ roof “ The officer took of his hat, and with his hat pointed to the exit signed door.He gave them a smirk and loosened up his pants, due to he was a quite large person. Ash smiled at him and grabbed Sara by the hand , both running up the stairs, hoping the roof wasn’t that distant.Cye stopped giving Misty his ways of affections and just stayed in the position they were in before.She turned around and comfortably sat in his arms as usual, feeling very safe in his embrace. “ Misty..there...”, At first Ash happily waved at her, but soon became extremely confused toward the girl he knew since he was 10, the girl he had known for 6 long years to suddenly be in another man’s arms. “ there you are”.He finished his sentence slowly.Sara looked at Cye, feelings she thought she never had for him started to filter her mind. It soon occurred to her, that she felt jealous and hurt because she was the only one she wanted him to hold.Misty hurried to stand up and so did Cye, both looking innocently, like nothing ever happened.Silence soon spread among the four , soon it had been broken by Cye.He spoke quietly, embarrassment traced in his voice.” Do you guys want to leave, go home or go for a bite ?” He asked, specifically looking at Sara and the pain written on her face that she tried to cover up. Ash: ( ..I just can’t let Misty see me so hurt...I can’t even understand why I’m so hurt...I, myself, know me so much, since I am me..then if so..how come I never knew I cared about Misty as much as I do...I’ve known her for 6 years, how come I never made a move, but yet this guy swept her off her feet in less than 24 damn hours..I’m such a fool.. ) His thoughts circulated among this little incident. Sara : (I can’t even think anymore........things are going to be so different now..change..I've always hated change.....change caused my mother and father to divorce...change caused me to have to leave my mom’s residence because she was to drugged up to take care of me....change caused my father to die.....change caused me to go to the homeless shelter because I had nowhere to live..but change gave me someone else........change gave me Cye....so I could fall in love with him...but change let this happen....what if I lost him forever?) Her past, present and future haunted her very thoughts. ’What if ‘questions were constantly asked, but no way could they be answered. Misty : ( what do I say....what’s wrong with everybody..especially ash..did he really care..about me, but Cye.... it feels like I’ve known him forever..like love...but..) Cye: (..what have I done now....I h--....I hope I did the right thing ) “ It’s late...we all should go home...” Ash suggested.Sara nodded her head in agreement, as misty gave off a blank expression and Cye looked as if nothing ever occurred though deep inside something was bothering him .” I’ll drive you guys home”. Cye recommended, though his usual bright smiled turned into a simple fake smile. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Cye dropped off Misty and Ash first, unlocking the back doors.Both of them lived in a cozy condominium, sharing a room together and leaving the other one to Brock, It consisted of two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a small living room half kitchen.Ash and Misty exited the car, and walked toward the porch.Cye rolled the passenger window down, and leaned forward across Sara’s lap.She didn’t even push him back, yet she just let him do what he wanted, I suppose she didn’t have the strength to do much.” Mist..remember tomorrow..alright “.He smiled at her, pulling his head back. She turned around to face him.“ I know, see you then, mwa” She blew him a kiss, as he just smiled at her. Sara looked down at her black Adidas, not even saying good-bye to ash and Misty, she tried not to cry and she didn’t, she promised herself that she wouldn’t show Cye her weaker persona, that would just make things worse. Back at the house, Ash was thinking about everything.Misty laid on the couch, her arms wrapped around a brown pillow, sitting in an Indian style form, and smiling like she won the lottery. Ash: ( what do I say...to her..do I tell her how I feel ?) Misty : ( I’m so glad I’m going to see Cye tomorrow, what do I wear, something casual he said, I wish I could have spent all night with him ) Ash took a seat next her, looking at her face blankly. “ what ?” she asked.Letting go of the pillow, she now looked him in the eyes. “ well..back there..what happened between you too”.He said with difficulty.” just.....Things happened between me and him...”.She now turned away from ash, staring at the violet candles placed on the small shelf above the TV set, the melted wax created intricately shaped forms around it. Trying to change the subject and hoping she might define ‘things’ more, he quickly spoke about the janitorial room incident. ” You know what’s funny, me and Sara, when we got separated from you too, we had ran into a janitor’s closet, because those crazy fans thought I was Cye because of my black hair, then it was really dark and stuff, so we looked for the switch and then we ended up in an awkward position, you can even call it sensual..., you know, me under her, her on top of me, but nothing happened...I don’t know..maybe something could have” He gave her a willing smile. “ you like her ?” She asked, still avoiding eye contact. “ I’m not sure, well tell me about, you and Cye”.Anyone could tell he was dying to know, but a little part of him didn’t want to hear the truth. “ We..um..we kissed and stuff also...I’m going somewhere with him tomorrow, he didn’t tell me where, a surprise, he’s going to pick me up at 3:00...afternoon...ash..um..can I ask you a question?“.she built up the courage to finally look up at him. “ anything”.He responded.” Are you ok with me and Cye being..together ?”.It felt like a lump was in his throat, like he had swallowed a ball filled with pins and needles, unable to talk he just nodded his head and smiled at her. “ Thank-you ash, I wouldn’t have really felt comfortable going out with him if you didn’t, I really do like him”.Convinced Ash was okay with things --but secretly it was killing him-- she gave him a comforting hug. “ I’m going to change clothes, we should go to sleep, it’s late”.She stood up and walked to their room. Misty: ( I’m so happy he’s okay with things ) Ash: ( where’s brock when you need him....I feel like shit right now, I’m trying not to hate Cye, because he’s an awesome guy and all..but...Misty....I love her, I really love her...I hope I never did love her...I wish I never even met her....because then I wouldn’t feel this pain..... ) Misty had changed to her usual pajamas, underwear and a tight-fitting tank- top.Though, before ash never cared she always wore those skimpy outfits to go to sleep, he now noticed her beauty, weirdly he was getting turned on.He cuddled in his blankets, dressed in sponge bob boxers that Misty bought him one day.All night he couldn’t sleep, he kept staring at Misty.How alluring she seemed. Ash: ( I never knew how incredible she was, until..I finally lose her..maybe this time forever..). It was around 4:00 am, two hours since they left the after-party.He struggled to get out of bed, creeping to the kitchen, he saw Brock back from his job at the Breeding clinic. “ Ash, you still up ?”. He was devouring a blueberry muffin. “ yeah..how was work ?“.Ash sat in the stool next to his more mature and understanding friend. Still clothed in his work uniform, khaki pants, a Blue long-sleeve with a copper tie and black dress shoes, he responded, “ The usual : breeding, feeding, there is a new pokemon I take care of, it’s an abosl, pretty rare, it’s magnificent “.He licked his fingers, and dunked the wrapper of the muffin in the see through trash can. “ Can I talk to you about something personal ? “.Ash looked very melancholy, he leaned on his elbows, his eyes dull and his face pale. “ sure, buddy..what happened ?” Brock seemed very concerned. “ Well, Misty and this dude name Cye are..well...today we went to an after-party and they kissed and shit happened, well I feel..”He stood up and walked around the small kitchen, rotating in circles “ Cye, champion, heard he won on the YSN news guy ? “Brock focused on the very confused Ash. “ yeah...and...I think..now I just found out I like her....a lot..even love, I mean I’ve had previous girlfriends and stuff and she’s had boyfriends but they never worked out, but truly Misty was the only one, the only one I felt comfortable with and today, it feels like I just found out how I really feel about her after 6 years, I find out now, when she might already be taken, it even seems like she’s in love with this guy..even if it’s pretty soon..I have this aching feeling in my stomach....“. He stood still, like he was searching for the right words to say.“ obviously your in love with her, I knew that since forever, I always thought you two were meant for each other “. Brock laid his hand on ash’s shoulder. “ I don’t want to lose her to this guy”. Ash seemed as if he was going to break out in tears in any moment.” Trust me ash, you won’t, anyway what’s the chance they’ll fall in love this quickly..It’s Misty... “.He patted him on the back. Brock: ( I hope...... poor kid...love is shitty sometimes..but I’m pretty sure things will be okay, hopefully it will ) Ash : ( I have no idea what to do now, I suppose I should sleep on it..maybe things will get better) “ I’m going to try to sleep again, you should too Brock-o “. Ash smiled at him and walked to his room.Secretly he crept over to misty and covered her with her disordered blankets and kissed her forehead lightly. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Cye’s thoughts were still jumbled around, once-in-while, he took glances at Sara keeping his other eye on the road. “ Sara, what’s wrong ?”.He drove one handed, and laid his free hand on hers. Quickly she pulled it away, and just smiled at him.”nothing, nothing at all“.She said in a more happier tone, though it was very distinct she was faking it.Cye took the hint and placed both hands on the wheel. “ You know me and Misty didn’t do much, Well, I know, it was pretty fast, considering I don’t know her that well, but we kissed and I’m taking her somewhere tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., I want it to be special and fun, you know ?“.He smiled at her, then the smile faded when he noticed she didn’t seem pleased. “ She’s nice..but..um.. just...don’t treat her like your ex-girlfriends “.She couldn’t face him, even though she disliked the fact Misty and Cye were in a relationship now, probably a serious one, she didn’t want Misty to become another one of Cye’s bitches.“ Is that why your upset, don’t worry I’ll never, this time it’s different, I’ll treat her like a princess, just like I treat you “.His award-winning smile returned.Sara nodded and put the best fake smile she could on. Sara :( ...I’m his princess ?...that’s what I’m so scared off, being replaced, being forgotten by the only person I know is right for me, I don’t want things to be different, things were fine last time...) Cye: ( that’s cool, Sara is just watching out for her, I thought it was something worse...whew ). He parked the car in front of Sara’s apartment. “ Thanks for the ride “. She unbuckled her seat belt. ” No problemo “. Sara waved good-bye and so did Cye.Then he drove home, ready to get to sleep, because every minute meant he can see misty sooner, and that was what he hoped for.He lived in an apartment that included three bedrooms, three bathrooms, the extra two rooms were usually for guest, a small nook, a living room and a kitchen.It was a pretty nice establishment to own for such a young person. He reached his home, leveling to the 6th floor by the elevator.He entered his house, 68.Thoughts about Misty still plagued his mind, that night he tried to sleep in his queen sized bed, but he was filled with anxiety.He twisted and turned, wearing dark-red boxers, he awaited the day until he could see her again.Though it wasn’t that long, it seemed like forever to him. Misty felt the same anxiety, but soon she fell asleep. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] A/N : 2nd Part done !!
