Chapter 38: Old News Alexis looked the exact opposite of happy. "They want me to model a swimsuit tomorrow." she explained unhappily, showing me a picture of a black-coloured swimsuit. It was an overall type, with a diamond-shaped hole over the chest area. The bottom of it was just like any normal swimsuit, except the part covering the buttocks was a bit too small. "It'd look good on you." I remarked. "No! It's too revealing!" she snatched the picture back. "Doesn't look too revealing to me." I said. "Okay, fine. I'll just model it tomorrow and show you exactly how revealing it is!" she stormed off to our bedroom. I checked a calendar Roy had hung on the wall. Tomorrow was a Saturday, and there would be no classes. "Thinking of going on a date?" Roy tapped my shoulder. I jumped. "Don't scare me like that!" I shouted, red-faced. "So you are thinking of going on a date." he smirked. "He...hey.... It's not.... It's not like that!" I stammered. "Anyway, go get him." he winked at me. "So who's the lucky guy?" Mei Ling leaned over and whispered in my ear during dinner. "What...... You know?" I whispered back. "Roy told me. Good luck on your date." she smiled and got back to her food. Geez...... The rest of the day flew by quite fast and I was soon in bed beside Alexis. "You know...... If you're really going for a new boyfriend, think of our first marriage as if it never happened. It's old news now." she murmured. I looked at her quizzically, but she was already snoring. The next morning, the doorbell rang while I was reading the newspaper. Roy and Mei Ling winked at me and went to the swimming pool. I ignored them and opened the door. "Ikki?" I gasped. Ikki was standing in the doorway with a smile on his face. "Thought I'd drop in for a moment. Hope I'm not interrupting anything." he grinned. "N...not at all!" I stammered and let him in. My face turned red again. "Oh, that must be your twin sister!" he had spotted Alexis coming out from the dining room. A bit of an awkward talk later, I showed Ikki around the house, taking care to avoid the lab and the swimming pool. "This is your room?" he asked as I led him into Alexis's and my room. I nodded. My Dark Lineros hung on a hook on the wall. "My twin sister sleeps with me." I explained as Ikki began staring at the queen-sized bed. "Oh." he mumbled. Suddenly, he took something from inside his Blue Arzuna and pressed it into my hands. "Huh?" I looked at it. It was a parcel. "Just a welcome gift to the school." Ikki smiled as I began to unwrap it. "What the......" I stared at the contents, dumbfounded. The soft fabric of a Blue Armis rested in my hands. "This is......" I stared at him. The faintest trace of a blush was on his cheeks. "Being almost a 4th jobber, I get a fat paycheck from the school. And besides, I like you." he grinned. I laid the Blue Armis down on my bed and took a good look at it. The entire overall was made out of a soft, comfortable, yet durable blue material. The leather wing-shaped left shoulder emitted a faint white glow. "Ikki, I really can't accept it......" I looked at him. "Who gives a damn about the price? I just hope you like it, that's all." he had obviously anticipated my words. All of a sudden, Ikki swooped down on me and hugged me close. "I knew, from the first second I saw you......" he whispered. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Roy peeking in the door. He winked at me and left. My arms seemed to automatically fall around Ikki's back and we both looked up. His hair carried a faint smell of cologne. "I....I..." I stammered. "that you would be a person I could......" he continued. My eyes widened. I knew what words would come next. "love forever." his lips closed in on mine and the next thing I knew, he was kissing me. Bliss. I closed my eyes. "I knew too." I whispered. The entire world around us seemed to escalate into blissful oblivion. My heart was doing backflips when we broke off. I reached a hand to my lips unbelievingly. "That, was a real one." Ikki breathed. I looked at the Blue Armis on the bed, and began to slip off my pajamas. "You're going to see them eventually anyway." I winked at the gaping Ikki. My chest bounced under my bra slightly as I removed the top and I reached for the Blue Armis, noting that Ikki was keeping his eyes wide open. I unzipped the sides of the top of the overall and slipped it on over my head. A perfect fit. I moved my arms out of the Blue Armis and zipped up the sides. My arms were laid bare for all to see, but it didn't really matter. Not like they're private or anything. Next, I pulled on the skirt of the Blue Armis and the trousers along with it. I buttoned the top and the bottom together and checked the mirror. "You look great." Ikki remarked. I smiled at him and gave a little twirl. He moved to stand beside me. "We sure look like a pair." I laughed. He grinned. I glanced at my Dark Lineros. "Erm...... Ikki......" For a few minutes, I had completely forgotten that I was once a boy. However, those thoughts and memories disappeared after a moment and I could remember vaguely that I was born as a girl. "Yes?" he looked at me. "Nothing." I smiled. The others were surprised when Ikki and I came walking down the stairs. "Wow." was the only word Roy could think of. "Where'd you get that......" Lacus gasped. I winked at them and we left the house, holding hands. "Let's go on a date." I pressed against his chest lovingly. He nodded. |
