Chapter 1: An invitation
To Misao it seems that some days weren't worth getting up. She groans when she saw her alarm clock, the numbers were flushing, which meant that the electricity went out during the night, and that was the main reason her alarm Clock didn't go off.
She reaches for her watch on the nigh-stand. Kuso! She said when she saw what time it was, she got out the bed and to the bathroom. *A cold shower will wake me up better* (she though), but when the cold water hit her body she was out of the shower in record time. She got dry and, when she was dress she walks to the kitchen and opens the refrigerator and took a drink of apple juice, she put it back and she grabs her purse and walk out of her apartment, she walks to the elevator got in, second later she was in the garage.
She got in her car, but when she turns the key, the car didn't start. "Aaah! Please don't do this to me" she said hitting the steering wheel with one hand."Oh no! is Friday the 13" she said with frustration.
Misao had another car but she like her Ford Scord, it was her first car, she had it when she went to college, when she got her first job and even when her sister and she decide to open their Flower Shop.
"I guess I have to take the sport car even if is not appropriate to deliver flowers, but I hope the deliver van is fixe by now" she said. And walk toward her Firebird.(her other car).
When Misao got to the Flower shop her sister had already open the doors. " I guess no breakfast, but coffee would me well" she said and walked inside the Shop, she saw her sister talking in the telephone, *. It must be, Shiro* she though, and then she smiles. Her sister was almost like her, she was normal height for a girl anyway, both had black long hair, blue eyes, and their figure was petite, and both had the same temper.
"Good morning"she said and gave her sister a kiss on the cheeks."You look tired, did you go to bed late? Or do you have morning sickness? Misao asks her.
Do I look that bad? Said Omasu
"Maybe you should take Shiro advice and stay home and work less". Said Misao
YOU suppose to on my side, not Shiro's". Said Omasu looking at her with a stare that could kill, that it's
if only looks could kill.
"I, I'm believe me, it just that your expecting a baby . . . Misao was cut of by her sister before she could even finish.
"I know what both mean well, but what I"m suppose to do all day in that big house, Doris does everything. Said Omasu.
"A big house? Don't you mean a mansion, don't be so modest sis, and I bet you can find something to do". Said Misao and she went to the back for flowers. She knew her sister would throw her with a base if she didn't move from where she was standing.
The morning when well, Yahiko had delivered all the flowers before lunch so he left to see Tsubame at her job.
And she was beginning to feel a bit hungry, after all she didn't have any breakfast only a drink of apple juice.
Misao are you hungry? Omasu asks her
Misao looks at her sister.
*How did she do that? always knowing what I'm thinking or what I'm feeling that its scary* she though
"Yes I'm. I'll get something from across the street and I'll eat it while I finish the flowers. Said Misao
"Ok I can work too while eating." Said Omasu
"Oh No! You won't! You are going to get that magazine over there and you going to sit down and eat, because I don't want Shiro to come in and see you standing eating I'll be the one he'll get angry at. Said Misao
"If you going to treat me like I'm weak because I'm having a baby, I'm going to hit you so hard that you'll remember the day you were born weasel". Said Omasu looking for something to throw at her sister.
"I'm going to get the food now Ok." Said Misao running away from her sister before she could hit her.
After lunch they started working on some Flower arrangement, but there was something that it was bothering Omasu
and Misao notices that her she wanted to say something, her mouth open but nothing came out.
"All right what it is? Do you feel sick again?" Misao asks her
"No. Is not that" said Omasu
"Then what it is? Tell me. Said Misao
"Shiro, reserve a table, for dinner tonight" said Omasu
*Sigh* tell me why was so hard to say that? Said Misao
"Well we want you to come with us." Said Omasu and she continue to talk again "And beside two Shinomoris are too much for one woman." *giggles*
"Shiro's brother is coming?" Misao asks her
"Not his brother, his cousin Aoshi, he arrive yesterday from Spain" said Omasu
The images of him fill all her mind. He was tall, he had blue eyes, black-jet hair and the most delicious mouth and his body would make any women crazy. She knew how would she feel if his mouth would capture her. Even after a year she still remembers his kiss.
*Flashback*
She met him at her sister wedding last year, he was Shiro's best man and she was Omasu's bridesmaid, she had noticed him every second. She felt the light touch of his fingers around her waist. She felt the pressure of his body again hers, when they took the family pictures.
Dancing with him was a nightmare, to feel the warm of his body, made her blood flow even faster, and when she felt the Sexual chemistry between them her hearth skip a bit. Maybe that was the reason she decided to go outside with him, after her sister and Shiro depart to their honeymoon.
They got close to each other, Aoshi kiss her cheek with feather kisses and moved slowly to her mouth, with an impulse, she captures his mouth with hers. The kiss turns to a full-blow kiss, taking and giving, his tongue exploring her mouth, nobody ever kiss her like that before, it was like he was able to touch the deepest part of her soul and she felt alive.
Who broke the kiss? She didn't remember, but all she could remember were his eyes, looking at her with desire.
She felt angry and she slaps him hard. She walks away knowing that he wasn't going to stop her.
When she was inside she felt even angrier, not at him but at her self, she had lost self control, and she had been
weak for letting him kiss her the way he did.
*End of Flashback*
*So Aoshi is in town and they want me to go to dinner with them*. She though
"NO!" She blurts out without thinking about it.
"NO? Why because you can't? Or because you don't want to?" Omasu asks her. But to Misao her sister voice sounded suspicious, and she wonders if she knew about her and Aoshi.
"Pick one" Said Misao and she was surprise how calm her voice sounded.
Omasu *Sigh*
"All right Misao, are you going to tell me or do I have to beat you up to find out?" she said and getting irritated.
"Neither, I just don't accept the invitation, that all" said Misao
"I don't think so, is, has been a year since you met Aoshi and "mmm" What did he do? Did he kiss you? Because if he did kiss you, I have to congratulate him, for breaking your defenses. Said Omasu
*What? What defenses? First she is angry because I don't want to go to dinner and now she making fun of me*. She thought "He didn't do anything. I just think his your family not my" said Misao
"All right, his not your family, but you are my family, So you can't say no. Siad Omasu
"Ah! You got me there" said Misao *sigh*
"Great we'll pick you up at 6:40 and will drive you home after dinner" said Omasu
"No! If I'm going, I'll take my own car" said Misao looking at her sister. *Please don't ask me why* she thought
Misao knew how easy would be for Aoshi to volunteer to take her home after dinner, and that was the reason she wanted to take her own car.
"Ok, then is a date. Said Omasu with a victory smile across her face and she went back to work.
" Now that you have said what you wanted to say, let me go back to work if you want to finish early"said Misao
I hope you like it is my first fic.
