Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Believing My Heart ❯ Confusion of heart ( Chapter 4 )

 

“Hey Knux, you in there? I gotta talk to you!” A familiar voice called, banging on Knuckle's front door once again. Rouge sighed, sliding herself off of knuckles and zipping her outfit back on. Both she and Knuckles were reluctant to stop, but it was Sonic's voice calling urgently from the door. “Shit… I didn't expect him to show up like this…” Knuckles groaned as he stood up and started heading for the door. Although he was ready to engage in whatever he and Rouge had in mind, he still was dog tired. Rouge felt uneasy; if Sonic were to see her there then he would know what she and Knuckles had been hiding. “Wait… I'll leave through the window; if Sonic sees me then our secret is out.” Knuckles shook his head, stopping infront of the door. “Don't bother; he already knows. I told him.” He noticed Rouge's surprise, but didn't care much at the moment. It annoyed him that the banging grew louder; being the speedy person that he was, Sonic didn't like waiting long. “C'mon Knux I heard you in there, just open the door alrea-”

“ALRIGHT, alright damn it! Sheesh can't you wait just one second Sonic!?” Knuckles flinged the door open, and Sonic stumbled in. Irritated, Knuckles walked over to the kitchen and sat down at the table. Sonic did the same but with less irritation and a lot more energy.

 

“Sorry to come over so late… I know its past midnight but, ugh, you know… I just can't sleep. Too much on my mind…” Sonic leaned his elbow on the table, his cheek resting on the back of his hand. “I've been running all day, trying to relieve the stress but I just can't get rid of it…” Knuckles stared at Sonic for a moment then sighed. He narrowed his eyes and said, “You really couldn't wait till morning to talk about this. You had to come after midnight…” Sonic rolled his eyes, cocking back the same attitude. “Well its not like you're busy. Why does it matter?” Rouge entered the room slowly, leaning against the refrigerator in very… adult… lingerie`. It was red with little bows, and the bust part was see-through. She was standing behind Sonic whom couldn't see her. Knuckles cocked an eyebrow, then blushed slightly. Sonic stared at his face, puzzled. “Who says he wasn't busy? We were just barely getting started when you interrupted us.” Sonic's head swung around, startled to hear another voice. When he saw Rouge's outfit, he quickly turned back around, feeling guilty that he'd viewed her in such a way.

 

“o-oh Rouge, yeah that's right; I heard about you guys… congratulations…” Sonic stood up from his seat, then pushed the chair in. “I guess I'll save it for later then. Its hard to get back in `the mood' once you've lost it. See ya. Have fun guys.” Without another word, Sonic walked briskly past Rouge out the doorway, then out the front door. Knuckles leaned back in his seat, crossing his arms. “Hmm… I wonder what's on his mind… hope he isn't upset…” Rouge strolled over to him, then placed herself on his lap, the warmth of her soft curves making him blush. “Never mind that… if it were really important then he would've stayed, don't you think? Its not like I forced him to leave,” She said, moving in closer to his face for a kiss. The echidna met her lips half way, wrapping his arms around her voluptuous body and pressing her close to his strong build. She wrapped her arms around his neck, moving one leg over to the other side of him so that she was sitting on him like a horse. He smirked at her, knowing what she had in mind. “You better ride me all night long, baby…”

 

~Damn it; I don't think I'll have the courage to tell him again… I should've done it while I had the chance. But then again, I was intruding on them… shit how the hell am I supposed to figure this out on my own?~ Sonic ran fast, jumping off the edge of Angel island. He flew with enough power to land him on the edge of the coast, so he wouldn't drown. He skidded over shallow waters, his speed accelerating with every step he took. All he could do is run, run, run. But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun his problem. Realizing this, he stopped on the top of a small mountain, staring into the moonlight. It was beautiful, radiant, full. Sonic envied the moon greatly; he felt as if it was impossible for him to ever become that whole, that completed, and to have such a natural glow. He closed his eyes for a moment, letting the wind course over his body and cool him from all the running. After a while he sat and decided to talk to himself.

 

“Man… so much has been on my mind lately that I can't do anything. Except run from my problem, that is,…” he thought about the past month, and how he'd been so cautious. Every time he saw her, he just had to run. His heart would beat fast, his knees would become shaky and his face would turn bright cherry red. His mouth would go dry and his stomach would turn in knots, but most of all he would feel an unfamiliar yurning to indulge in her. He wanted to scream to her all these things, but his mind told him to do otherwise. It couldn't be love, it couldn't….

 

He chuckled at himself. “Heh, me? no way… this will go away, right? I mean it isn't anything that serious… damn it…” Sonic tried to reassure himself these words, but couldn't believe them entirely. He'd been going through this for the past month… what else could it be? “Sigh, I don't want to give her the wrong idea, so I don't want to spend too much time around her. I don't know what this feeling is. who ever thought that you'd be the person to give it to me, Amy Rose.” He chuckled, then stared at the moon again. “I'm a coward, Amy, I'm always running instead of telling you the truth. Standing up and doing it the right way… no, instead I flirt and go, not deciding what my heart wants.” He was silent for the next long while, just staring up at the luminous moon. When he finally got tired enough, he stood up and started running again.

 

Soon enough, he found himself in the area where Amy lived. When he came across her house, he stood infront of it and just stared. A part of him wished she would run outside, while another part of him hoped his feet would take him away before that could happen. ~Sigh, why did I come here…~ Sonic forced himself to walk to her doorstep, but he couldn't ring the doorbell. ~ its 4AM… with how angry Knuckles would be I wonder how angry she would be.~ He stood there for a while, not desiring to go any further. What next if he knocked on the door? He didn't even know what he wanted. He made his decision to wait for a better time, and sped off leaving a light cloud of dust.

 

~~2 minutes later~~

Amy flung open the front door, looking around curiously. She could've sworn that she'd heard a familiar ~Vroom~. When she saw nothing, she sighed and closed the door. “My imagination plays too many tricks…”

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~THE NEXT DAY AT THE STORE~~~~~~~

 

 

Amy stumbled into a dressing room beside Cream's, a pile of clothes weighing her down. She was bouncy and optimistic about this whole plan and couldn't wait until it all unfolded. As she had told the others, she and Cream had decided to look for outfits and had been scouting for the perfect dress all morning. It wasn't easy; though a lot of the dresses and gowns were cute, Amy was still a very picky girl. She had to look perfect when she confesses.

 

The first dress Amy tried was a black strapless one, decorated in purple and red flowers. It fit smoothly along her hips, then frilled out from the middle in front down to the ground. The dress had a medium length tail. Amy showed it off to cream, who had tried on a pink dress with long sleeves and a short skirt; fit for a girl like herself. “Oh Cream, that dress was made for you!!” Amy was delighted to see her young friend with such a perfect dress. Cream smiled, then said “Thank you Amy; you look so beautiful too! Are you going to get this one?” Amy shook her head no. “As pretty as it is, it just isn't `the one'. I'm sure there's one out there for me that's much better though.”

 

Cream nodded her head, deciding that she would keep her pick. She waited outside the dressing room as Amy tried on a couple more dresses; a light blue one, a gold one, a red one, a purple one. Each were beautiful but not quite there yet. When Amy's pile ran out, Cream went to find more dresses for her. As cream searched through the rack, familiar eyes laid on her. Orange eyes, ones covered by locks of red, fiery quills.

It was Flame the hedgehog, the one seen before that had sexually harassed Amy. “hm, I wonder if that rabbit is here alone or if her friend is here too…” He waited for Cream to collect enough clothing, then peered around the corner of the dressing rooms. Just as he expected, Amy was there.

 

“Here Amy; I don't know if its what you're looking for, but I think Sonic will like you enough.” Cream smiled sweetly, then sat down next to the dressing room door. “Thanks Cream; you're the best!” Amy took the first dress off the pile, then continued. “ I talked to Vector this morning; he said that he found the perfect place! We're gonna host the party at 3455 E. Violet St.!” The two girls continued to chatter, speaking about their plans and how wonderful it will be when Sonic becomes Amy's one and only. “Well, isn't this interesting; looks as if little pinky over there has some serious plans. But with how rude she was too me, I don't see the point of letting her carry them out.” He chuckled, then started leaving casually. “We'll see soon enough, Amy Rose. Soon enough.”

 

After a while, Amy and Cream became tired of shopping around and decided to start walking back home. But on the way, just before the turn leading down Amy's street, She spotted beautiful fabric hanging in a display window. It was a pearly white dress, adorned with tiny crystal patterns along the edges. The dress came with a matching sash, and flowed down to the floor gently. Softly. It was even Amy's size; it was the perfect one. Amy clasped her hands together in delight. “Oh Cream,… that's the one; that's the one!!!” Amy ran into the store, Cream following after. She was just as excited as Amy was. Amy went straight to the dress, followed by one of the workers. “Hello ma'am; is there anything that I could help you with today?” Amy nodded her head. “Yes please! I want this dress, in the display window!” She and Cream felt the dress with delicate hands, idolizing every part of it. The worker lady smiled. “Ah yes, we just got this one in today. It costs $450.00,” She said, taking if off the manikin carefully. Amy and Cream's stomachs dropped. “four hundred and fifty dollars? That's expensive!! Are you sure about this, Amy??” Cream asked, feeling bad that such a great find cost so much. Amy paused for a moment. She had searched all day for the perfect dress; this was as good as it gets, right? Amy smiled. “I'll take it. I'm willing to spend anything for this to be perfect.”

 

She counted out every last cent and bought the dress. Although she was now fully broke, She was completely happy with her choice. Sonic would love her for sure. ((^_^))

 

~~The next couple days~~

 

Everyone else was busy with getting preparations done; Knuckles and Rouge had gotten their parts nearly finished in-between love making, The Chaotix had finished setting up arrangements at the address, and all that needed to be done was the lighting, which was Tails' job. But, he hadn't been around lately. He hadn't even reported to Amy. Cream decided to go see what was going on while Amy did some work with Rouge.
