Street Rat ( Transformers Love Story)

Chapter 10

It's been a few months after Optimus and Becca's moment. They both seemed to try to act like it had never happened, but they still felt a bit awkward towards each other. I mean, come on. What happened with the two of them was pretty hard to try to forget.

Ever since the day Becca truly accepted the fact that she did like Optimus her feelings only began to grow stronger. Which, by the way, made it very difficult to try to act normal.

Optimus was trying to act like his normal self too, but when she walked into the room his spark skips a beat. He tried to ignore his longing towards her and concentrate on getting better and going back into battle.

Becca sat inside the base and listened to the rain outside. It was rain season in Nevada and that always meant huge storms that would last for hours, even days at times. Some might find it miserable, but Becca found it quite soothing. She especially loved the sound it made when it hits off the roof. She probably would have enjoyed it more if she didn't have him in her mind.

She was alone at the base. Everyone was gone, busy with a mission or just spending time with their human companions. Before Ratchet left, who was the last to leave, which was an hour ago, he asked if she wanted to come. The young girl told him that she was not in the mood to leave the base and that she would be fine alone. He was reluctant at first, but eventually left, thinking that she just needed to be alone for a bit. He could tell she was battling something in her head, but didn't ask, knowing it wasn't any of his business. He also needed someone to work the ground bridge.

She let out a sigh and pulled her knees into her chest. It felt weird. This feeling inside of her. She had never felt this way before. She loved it yet she hated it at the same time. Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, is somehow making his way into her heart. But she couldn't let it happen. She isn't sure she is capable of loving someone in that way. She would mess up or hurt him somewhere along the road, and she can't ever think of hurting him.

A tear started to streak down her face. " What am I going to do?" she mumbled to herself.

" Becca?" she snapped her head towards the voice that said her name and gasped. Optimus stood there. How the heck did she not notice him coming in?

" Optimus, you scared me." she said placing a hand on her heart. " Are you like some kind of ninja?"

He chuckled and bent down. " I learned how to use stealth back in Autobot soldier training."

" Well, you are very good at it, that's for sure." she said getting up. She giggled. " You're all dirty." she said noticing the mud that covered him.

He nodded. " I was patrolling in Jasper for Decepticon activity. " he rubbed the back of his neck. "I didn't notice that there was a large pot hole filled with muddy water from the rain and I drove through it."

She laughed a little and shook her head at the mech. " Come on. I'll help you clean up."

They both began to walk into the room where the bots could clean up. Becca took off a layer of her shirt, revealing her tank top, and threw it over to the side. She filled a bucket with warm water and soap and found an old rag to use. Optimus sat down as Becca came over. She sat the bucket down and plopped the rag into the bucket. She pulled the rag, which was now all wet, and began to wipe Optimus' leg. Optimus let out a small moan making Becca giggle. " Does the warm water feel good, big guy?"

He smiled and nodded. "This does feel nice, but after this I need to go over a few data pads for Fowler."

Becca frowned at that. " Optimus, you have been working hard for the past week. Can't you have a break?"

He shrugged a little. " Things need to be accomplished. I do not have time for breaks."

She sighed. " Optimus, you can't over work yourself. You need to relax for once an a while. Don't be so stiff."

" I am not stiff." he said.

" Uh, ya, you are. You need to loosen up. Have a little fun once in a while." she said turning away for a moment.

" Really?" he said and before Becca could react something was dumped right on top of her. Her eyes widened and she gasped. Optimus held what was once her water bucket and smirked. " I think I am quite capable of loosening up and having fun once in a while."

Becca gave him an annoyed look and crossed her arms. " Rude!" she said throwing her wet rag that flew right into Optimus' face.

He slowly pealed the towel off and gave her an evil smile. " I believe this is the correct human term, 'you are so going to get it now.' "

Becca squeaked and began to run away, but she didn't get to far. Optimus quickly but gently grabbed her by her waist and pulled her up. He laid her on her back in his hand and began to tickle her. " O-Optimus! I'm s-sorry! P-please stop! Mer-cy!" she said in between laughs.

He began to laugh. " Only if you say I am the funnest mech in the universe."

" Alright! Alright! Y-you are the funnest mech in the u-universe!" she shouted.

He stopped and smiled as she began to calm down. She smiled back at him but suddenly stopped and looked away.

His expression became concerned. " What is it? What is wrong?"

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, sitting up. " I-Optimus... I .. I need to...." she let out a frustrated groan and grabbed a fist full of her hair. " I - I need to ask about that day."

He stiffened a bit, knowing what she was talking about. " Becca, I am so sorry. I didn't know what overcame me-"

" No! No! You didn't do anything wrong. I just...... wanted to ask.... Do you really think about me that way?"

He looked away from her gaze and slowly nodded. " Yes... I do."

She felt tears start to form in her eyes. " O-Optimus. You deserve someone so much better. I am so worthless-"

" No, do not say that about yourself." he said sternly placing a finger under her chin, making her head look up towards him. " You are not worthless. You are the most incredible human being I have ever had the honor to know. You are compassionate and loving. When you walk into a room you make it much brighter and happier. You had brought so much more joy to this team ever since you came into our lives. I can't even imagine living life without you around. I-" he paused for a moment. "I love you, Rebecca. More than life itself."

Becca felt her face began to overflow with tears. " I love you too,Optimus Prime."

And right after that she and Optimus did something that was long overdue. He pulled her forward and gently placed his lips onto hers. Becca moaned and pulled him in a little more making the kiss slightly rougher. A few seconds later they pulled away and Becca began to breathe heavily. Optimus gently kissed her neck which made her shiver slightly.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled into him. " That was-"

" Amazing." he finished for her.

She giggled and nodded. " Exactly."

This couldn't have turned out to be a better day for them.

~ Aboard the Nemesis~

Megatron sat on his throne in deep thought. He couldn't stop thinking about that new human that Optimus cared for so much. Optimus did care for the other humans very much, but this one human was different. He didn't lie when he said that she was quiet pretty. She was indeed breathtaking. Megatron never thought of a human being as beautiful as this one, which was surprising because he absolutely loathed the human race. He didn't see them anything more than just weak, disgusting beings. Maybe he thought. Maybe Optimus cared for her in a different way. Maybe.... An evil grin plastered in his face. Maybe Prime has fell for the human girl.

He began to chuckle darkly to himself as he began to think of a plan. He was going to have that human girl. He will do everything in his power to take her from Prime.
