"Unexpected Meeting"
Naunet sat in chemistry staring at a new student. Her lab partner tapped her.
"Naunet stop staring over there. We have a project to do in class as a team. Are you listening to me?"
Naunet turned around.
"Sorry I did hear you Amira. She just inspires me with her speed in track meets. She took our school to 1st place. "
Amira looked and shook her head.
"Then say something to her instead of being so shy when she is around you. I already figured out that you like her. It is not that hard to tell you know. After the meet today go talk to her, if it makes you feel any better I'll go with you. Just don't get your hopes up; she is more into her running than anything else."
Naunet nodded as they did their project they were assigned. The bell rang and she made her way to the track field on the bleachers to ist by her friends. They all cheered on Akira as she crossed the finish line 1st like usual. The meet ended and Naunet met Amira by the track. She stayed silent as Amira approached Akira.
"That was some race huh? Our team came in 1st thanks to you and your speed. I don't know where our team would be if you didn't transfer to the school."
Akira looked.
"Umm okay get to the point already will you? We both know you are jealous because I am the team leader, so cut to the chase already. What do you want Amira?"
Amira got offended but stayed calm.
"I was trying to introduce you to a friend of mine Akira. She is interested in you and has been for quite some time."
Akira saw Naunet and looked at her. Then she walked away and Naunet walked toward the auditorium to practice for her concert with her head down. Akira turned back around and watched as Naunet walked away upset. She waited for Amira to leave and then she approached Naunet.
"We'll talk after your concert Naunet. Sorry about the way I avoided you. Amira is very jealous because she can't match my speed and tries multiple times to make me forget about my running so she can be in the spotlight again. This has been going on since I became the captain of the track team, as you can see we don't get along. To make up for my behavior earlier would you like to get a coffee with me before your concert?"
Naunet smiled.
"Akira are you asking me out on a date by any chance? I'd love to get a coffee with you."
Akira smiled as they went to her car and she opened the passenger side for Naunet. Naunet got in and they drove off toward the beach with Akira's top down. As they drove toward the beach Naunet smiled as she looked out the window as her hair blew in the ocean wind. Akira stared at Naunet as they continued to drive toward the beach.
They arrived and Akira opened the passenger door for Naunet and stared into her light blue eyes.
"Wow you're a lot prettier in person than you are on stage. I have been interested in you since the 1st day I saw you in Chemistry. Just didn't know how to approach you with all your friends around you. Besides, the guys are always after you and you flirt with them a lot. The 1st time I heard you play on stage I instantly fell for you. I didn't think you'd be interested in me so I avoided approaching you."
Naunet smiled.
"Well I guess you were wrong I was and still am interested in you Akira. Now the question is, are you still interested in me?"
Akira approached Naunet and embraced her tightly smiling.
"Yes I am still interested in you Naunet. I don't want to be with anyone but you. Now do you only want to be with me?"
Naunet smiled and rested her head on Akira's shoulder as she held her close.
"Yes I only want to be with you Akira. You are the one I have been looking for after being hurt so many times."
Akira looked at her watch.
"Well, let's get you back in time for you to take the stage, while I get ready to watch you play my love."
Naunet smiled.
"We have plenty of time until I go on. Let's go back to your place and you can get ready while I relax for a bit. That is if you don't mind Akira my love."
Akira smiled and kissed Naunet on the lips embracing her tightly.
"Very well if that is what you want to do Naunet, then so be it."
They got back in the car and Akira pulled up to her apartment. Naunet got out and followed Akira as she opened the front door. Naunet took off her shoes as they entered and smiled as she looked out at the ocean.
"Wow this is a nice place you have my love. Such a nice view of the ocean waves crashing against the shore so calmly."
Akira came up behind her and grabbed her waist.
"If you want my love you can stay here with me, there is plenty of room for us both. What do you say?"
Naunet grabbed Akira's hands by her waist.
"I'd love to stay here with you my love. Shouldn't you be getting ready Akira?"
Akira smiled as she kissed her cheek gently.
"Yes I should be getting ready love. Just as you should get some rest before you go on. Take a nap and I'll wake you up an hour before you have to be in your dressing room?"
Naunet smiled and kissed her back.
"Very well I'll take a nap while you get ready. I'll be on the couch napping my love."
Naunet lay on the couch and drifted off to sleep. Akira smiled and threw a cover over her kissing her on the forehead before she went up to the room to take a shower. In her sleep Naunet smiled after she felt Akira's lips on her forehead. Then she was awaken by a dream, and looked around the living room to make sure Akira wasn't there. She took out her mirror and looked in it. Then she looked at her transformation wand and sighed. She put them both in her purse and drifted back off to sleep soundly without that dream returning. After Akira finished her shower she shook Naunet gently.
"Come on love time for you to get ready now."
Naunet stretched and headed up to the bedroom to also take a shower to get ready for her concert. Akira sat on the couch and waited for Naunet to finish getting ready. Naunet finished her shower and came down the stairs brushing her hair. Akira looked and smiled at her.
"Wow you look amazing love. Shall we be going now?"
Naunet and Akira left the apartment and headed to the hall where Naunet was performing tonight. Akira found a parking spot and they entered hand in hand. Amira's eyes widened as she saw them together. Naunet's other friends just stared as she waved to them in their seats. Then they all stared at the fine guy that was holding Naunet's hand as they entered.
"Wow how did she land such a hottie? She told us she was done with boys and hid the new boyfriend from us. That was just rude don' you think?"
Amira looked at them and shook her head.
"You are really clueless I swear. You really think that is a guy that Naunet is with? Do I have this right?"
The others stared at her angrily.
"What exactly is that supposed to mean Amira? Well why don' you stop being so jealous that Naunet landed him before you had a chance."
Amira just laughed.
"Okay whatever you think? Maybe if you're lucky enough one of you may be successful from stealing the hottie from Naunet. Good luck with that all of you. Trust me you will need it. "
Akiho just looked at the others shaking her head along with Mei.
"They'll find out the hard way and then we can say we told you so right Amira?"
In the meantime Naunet heard knocks on her dressing room door and Akira looked at the door and looked at Naunet.
"Should I get it love? They seem a little crazy don't you think?"
Naunet laughed and opened her dressing room door.
"What is it? What are you three so angry about, well I'm waiting for an answer? "
Kiara was the 1st one to speak.
"How could you hide such a hottie from us? We are your best friends. Were you afraid we'd steal him from you Naunet?"
Naunet looked at Kiara puzzled.
"What hottie are you referring to? I have no interest in guys anymore because they hurt me too many times. "
Kiara looked and glared.
"Don' you try and lie to us Naunet, just face it and admit it. That you were afraid that one of us would steal him from you? He is so hot, wish I had that luck and met him 1st."
Akira looked and shook her head listening and laughed a little.
"Your friends are funny Naunet. You should've introduced us sooner. See you after the concert; I know you'll be great you always are. Ladies shouldn't we be getting to our seats already?"
They all followed behind Akira drooling as they made their way to their seats. Akiho and Mei shook their heads and looked at Akira. Then the curtains rose and the spotlight shined on Naunet as she played her violin. Kiara, Akiho, Mei, Maiko, and Raicho listened carefully as the concert continued through the night. Akira smiled at Naunet as she listened to her play. She was so proud of Naunet and never been so happy until she landed Naunet earlier tonight. "
Naunet continued to play and smiled at Akira then she closed her eyes and finished her set. The entire hall applauded and Naunet bowed before she exited the stage to make her way back to her dressing room. Akiho and the others made their way to Naunet's dressing room to congratulate her on her concert tonight. Once again Akira sat on the couch as Kiara, Maiko, and Raicho stared at Akira still drooling. Akiho and Mei shook their heads and crossed their arms.
"Really you guys are ridiculous. Are you really that angry and want to mess this up for Naunet? Let's go you guys really need to cool down. Let's go now. See you in school Naunet. Have a great night."
Naunet smiled and responded.
"Night Akiho see you at school tomorrow. Thanks for coming to see me play."
As Kiara, Maiko, and Raicho exited the hall Naunet heard them arguing.
"Just wait and see He will be mine then we'll see who is laughing."
Akira smiled.
"Wow they are something else I swear. You sure they are your friends love?"
Naunet smiled as she locked her dressing room door and lifted up her hair.
"Would you like to help me change my love? Well I'm waiting Akira."
Akira smiled and came up behind Naunet and unzipped her dress slowly sliding it off her shoulders kissing them gently.
"Your skin is so soft love. So glad I met you and you are mine."
Naunet smiled as she leaned in and kissed Akira deeply descending to the couch still kissing her. Akira smiled as she returned Naunet's approach looking down at her as she lay on the couch looking up at her.
"I love you so much Naunet, never been so happy than I am now since I met you. Just make sure you don't look at anyone else but me."
Naunet smiled as she embraced Akira tightly.
"I know, and I promise my eyes will only be on you Akira my love.
