It was early in the morning and the sun was shining brightly into Shizuru's bedroom. Our recent official couple was still in bed. One of them was already awake, her crimson eyes was staring lovingly at the face of her beloved. Both of them were facing each other but Natsuki's eyes were closed and she was still asleep as she was holding on to Shizuru's waist loosely.

'Natsuki, even when you sleep, you still manage to take my breath away. You make me a very happy woman, I pray that we will always be together and nothing will take you away from me.' Shizuru said in her mind and was smiling a genuine smile of happiness. Suddenly she was distracted from her deep thought as there was a slight movement from her waist to the top of her front. Shizuru tried her best not to giggle when the moving object had stopped and touched her.

'Hmmm, nice smell just like Shizuru's… Soft and tender… Wait! Soft and tender?!' Natsuki suddenly woke upand opened her eyes and was shocked to see where her hand was. Her face turned red and she quickly moved her hand away.

"Iiyee!" She screamed and shifted slightly away from Shizuru.

'Fu fu fu. Kawaii, Natsuki, I won't mind you touching me.' Shizuru thought to herself and she couldn't let go of this chance to tease her Natsuki.

"Ara, Natsuki. Ikezu." Shizuru put on her hurt look when Natsuki moved slightly away from her but they were still facing each other.

"Eh! Shi- Shizuru, I am sorry, I didn't mean it! I…" Natsuki started to panic and was waving her hands in front of her when she sat up to face Shizuru who was still lying on the bed.

"Natsuki is such a meanie. Natsuki didn't mean it at all. She don't love me and don't want to touch me." Shizuru said in her fake hurt tone and was covering her face and tears were flowing down her cheeks caused by her amusement when she noticed Natsuki's panicky behavior.

'Fu fu fu, Natsuki, you are so cute.' Shizuru thought to herself.

Seeing the tears, Natsuki became more worried and she moved on top of Shizuru and hugged her strongly. She felt Shizuru's body was shivering and she thought that Shizuru was sobbing but what she didn't know was that Shizuru was trying hard to control her giggles. She was enjoying the warmth she felt from Natsuki.

"You said that you would do anything to make it better and you didn't mean it." Shizuru said in her fake hurt tone.

"I do mean it. I'm sorry I touch you… there. Please don't cry, I will do anything to make it better." Natsuki said softly to Shizuru.

"Ara, so Natsuki do remember her promise from last night." Shizuru whispered softly to Natsuki's ear, her hands were caressing Natsuki's body. Natsuki was frozen in her position but she was still holding on to Shizuru.

'Fu fu fu, now is my chance.' Shizuru thought happily to herself. She flipped them over and made Natsuki to be in her previous position. Now Natsuki was surprised by the sudden awkward position that she was in.

"Shi-Shiz…" Natsuki asked her nervously but was cut off when Shizuru's lips were against hers. Shizuru took the opportunity to kissed her with a lot of passion until both were out of breath.

"Ara, Natsuki said that she is willing to do anything to make it better, right." Shizuru said to Natsuki after they broke the kiss.

Natsuki couldn't speak out any words except to nod her head. She was feeling hot to have Shizuru on top of her and she had never felt anything like this with anyone before. Shizuru smiled lovingly at Natsuki when she saw her reaction and what she didn't expect was that Natsuki pulled her head down for another heated kiss. They were giving into their emotions and feelings towards each other in bed. Unfortunately, their peaceful moment was interrupted by Natsuki's handphone, she had placed it at the bedside table last night. She grunted and reached for her handphone to answer the call.

"What?!" Natsuki knew from the caller display that it was Mai who was calling her.

"Hi, Natsuki, nice to hear you. Where are you now? Mikoto and I didn't see you last night." Mai asked Natsuki in her concern tone.

"Err…I… I'm at a friend's place." Natsuki was trying to get out from the bed but Shizuru refused to let go of her and she was trying her best to give an answer.

"Oh! Which 'friend' will that be?" Mai asked her with a great curiosity. Shizuru's eyes widened at the 'Friend' word that came out from Natsuki's mouth, she started to move off Natsuki but was stopped by Natsuki's free hand on her back.

"I'm at Shizuru's place, ok." Natsuki said quickly when she noticed her girlfriend's reaction. Shizuru stopped her movement and resumed back to a more comfortable position on top of her with her head on Natsuki's chest. Natsuki's face was red from the position that she was in.

"Wow! Natsuki, what are you doing there?" Mai teased her friend.

"None of your business, Mai! Why do you call me?" Natsuki said with a scowl. She was irritated by Mai's call at the wrong time.

"Oh, yes. We are all meeting later at 8pm for a karaoke session, I will see you at the same place and bring along Kaichou with you or I will tell everyone that you spent the 'night' at her place." Mai said excitedly and tried to pressure/blackmail Natsuki into turning up for the karaoke session.

"What?! Not karaoke again, Mai!" Natsuki shouted at Mai but the call was already disconnected. There was a short moment of silence and Shizuru decided to break it.

"Natsuki?" Shizuru looked up at Natsuki and noticed that she was thinking about something. Natsuki's fingers were playing with a few strands of her hair.

"Mai is asking us to go to the karaoke place later. The rest will be there too." Natsuki informed Shizuru while still playing with her hair.

"Why do you still have to think about it? Let's join them. It's been a while since I last seen them. " Shizuru said to her.

"Yes, we can go but Shizuru, this is something new to me. I don't know how to react to the questions that will be directed at me later. Mai already suspect about us, I'm sure she will be ok with it but what about other people. I just need a bit more time for us to be open about things." Natsuki explained to Shizuru about her worry. Shizuru felt the pain in her heart but she didn't show it and put on her usual mask to cover her true feelings.

"I see. Ok, whatever it makes you happy, Natsuki. It's up to you if you want to go." Shizuru said in a normal tone and got out from the bed.

Shit! I made her upset again.' Natsuki scolded herself mentally.

"What?! No! No, I'm not afraid. I am thinking of how to break the news to them." Natsuki sat up immediately and tried to explain to Shizuru.

"Oh, alright then, I will go and shower now." Shizuru said and went to the bathroom. She sighed in the bathroom and hoped that her Natsuki would not change her mind about them. Natsuki lay back in bed and sighed. She was trying to be mentally prepared for all the questions that would be asked later.
