It's been awhile… well because I'm suddenly inspired, I'm going to update.
Review…
Despite her three hours of sleep, Rima felt well rested and ready to go that Sunday morning. Not that she was going anywhere, but she was certainly ready to watch her bodyguard squirm with nerves. But what she did last night wasn't just so she could watch him do so.
Part of her wanted to tell him, let him know. But another part of her wanted to keep her secret locked up just for herself. She had the cover of being a weak and helpless little girl for a reason, so people wouldn't suspect it was her. But around him, her defense just fell and she felt like spilling everything to him. She hated him for it.
How could one person change her own decision about keeping her most prized secret?
"Morning," Nagihiko's voice rang in her ears as she stumbled into the dining room.
"You're awake," she yawned, playing her part the best she could. He wasn't complying at all. No nerves, no jumpy actions. He seemed perfectly content. Rima was seething underneath her tired act.
"Yeah, after our game of truth or dare, I wasn't tired at all so I decided to look at the stars." He didn't need to be in the room for Rima to know that he was smirking. She'd nearly had a heart attack at the word stars. He knows! Her mind was having a panic attack; she could barely keep a tired look on her face on now. "You can see them much clearer out here than you can in the city. Have you ever noticed that, Ri-ma?" He continued to talk as he came out of the kitchen and into the dining room with a tray full of breakfast foods.
"N-no," Rima stuttered, hoping her sleepy expression was still on her face.
"Are you sure? Living out here, I can imagine one looking at stars more often, huh?" He was killing her, drilling into her emotions with his calm demeanor. It was all she could to keep from shrieking and running out of the room. She couldn't admit defeat, but she knew if she didn't soon, he would only keep drilling into her.
She breathed out, letting her act fall off her face. "How?" her question hung in the air, she shut her eyes and waited for a reply.
"Perhaps this will remind you," Nagihiko answered.
Rima could hear his smirk, along with his footsteps that seemed to get louder with each step. A pair of lips was her reminder. The same silky lips from last night. And she thought he was dense.
"Fine, so you know my little secret. So what?" she said with such a calm voice, Nagihiko thought he was being fooled.
"It bothered me that you couldn't answer me when I asked you who you liked, so I decided to mess with your head. If a complete stranger came up and kissed you, I knew you'd feel guilty about it and end up answering me the next morning." She answered him flawlessly, without missing a beat on anything.
"You're telling me that you took advantage with your power as Star… just so I would tell you that I liked you?" Nagihiko sounded like his temper was going to get wild.
"But it worked, right? Did you not just admit to me, by your own will, that you liked me? I'd have to say I win on this one." It was Rima's turn to smirk. She left him standing at the other side of the table with his jaw hanging open while waltzed over to the other side to get breakfast.
"You win." Nagihiko admitted defeat and started to get his own breakfast.
"You do realize that if you tell anyone, I'll have to kill you." She said with a straight face as Nagihiko first began to laugh… then suddenly realize that the blonde girl could've been serious with her threat.
"Are you serious?"
"No, but I'll have to do something with you if you ever told someone. I'd probably just send you to another country." She spoke as if it were nothing big. Nagihiko just gulped in reply. Note to self; don't tell anyone that Rima is Star.
The slam of a car door out front interrupted the teens' breakfast. "Maybe my parents are back early?" Rima shrugged and headed toward the front door.
Nagihiko carried on eating his breakfast, putting on his best innocent act for when her parents walked through the door.
Instead of the slam of the front doors, he heard Rima bolting around the corner and running under the dining room table. "Get under! Quick!" she shrieked.
"What's going on?" I whispered through my teeth.
"It's Onyx." Rima glared from under the table, waiting for the second that the pinkette would barge through her door.
"Onyx? Who is Onyx?"
"I ran into her on the roof the other night, she's after me." Rima whispered as she continued to peer from under the table.
"Where is she?" A brutish voice came from the foyer after the door was broken down and hit the marble with a crash.
"I don't know, I saw her in the window and she ran off." A sly, sharp voice, Onyx, echoed from the living room and began to get closer to the dining room. "Looks like somebody didn't finish their breakfast, what a shame." She smirked.
Rima heard someone snap and before she knew it the table had been flipped over and she was face to face with Onyx and her gun. "Surrender now and your boyfriend here doesn't get hurt." She pointed the gun to Nagihiko who looked as shocked as Rima was.
Her golden eyes looked at Nagihiko then onyx then back to Nagihiko. "I-" she began, the feeling of surrender already washing over her.
"Don't!" Nagihiko shouted but was cut off by Onyx putting the gun against his head.
"I surrender." Rima exhaled. Onyx grinned wickedly and grabbed her by her wrists, dragging her out of her own home.
I updated! Wow… and I actually went through with it. I usually never do that.
Tell me how it was!
Review!
