Prelude

When you think of something you love, it can be something you love to eat, or something that makes you feel incredibly calm and happy. Like music. Like flowers. Err..wait a moment, that can be someone, as well…someone..
She choked on her spit and coughed to clear the block on her throat. Someone…ah, it has been so long since she had seen him.
She sighed. Ever since their engagement, it felt like she had gotten even closer to him; like she could guess better his thoughts and intentions. His every move held careful thought, not an excuse to while away time and slack, though he probably still had a habit of so. Old habits die hard.
She was in her final year in high school and he was studying in England. London was a dreary place; overcast clouds, and impending rain, always. 'I think of you and somehow the dreariness doesn't count anymore..' She had blushed then, and blushed now, just thinking of it.
London School of Economics. Sounds flashy. But a really good place, and he was acing his course, she knew. Typical him. And the very thought brought her own thoughts to a halt.
She wanted to pursue music, in Tokyo, in Geidai. It was hard to get in, but she wanted to study there. And be a professional classical musician, like she wanted. But her parents? They wanted her to be part of the business. Which she flatly refused. But she knew that she would probably bend to their wishes.
Another sigh. Since when did she sigh so much? And since when had she started to space out?? Another sigh to complement that. A shake of the busy head, and once again she was browsing and lost in work.
Suoh and Akira watched the secretary change colors in a span of fifteen minutes, switching between staring at the documents on her desk, at the wisterias on her desk , shaking her head and then back to work. All staring done at the expense of her obliviousness.
But, distracted or not, one thought flitted through Nadeshiko's mind, making her smile and blush; 'like an angel', briefly the thought passed thought her co- workers' minds; the surreal sunset adding to the growing warmth in her heart. He is going to be home this Christmas, and so is she.
Author's Note: A bit much? This is quite out of the blue I am aware. But I am just bored not writing, though I have my end semester Physics exam tommorow. Eek! *beginning to panic*
I have tried a million times to space this thing out, but the stupid editor doesn't get what spacing means. Sheesh.
I have no idea how many chapters this is going to be, but quite a few, be rest assured.
I hope you guys, my beloved readers, like this and let me know that in feedback.
I am shameless and I know it; it does not bother me one bit to say what I want. Review people, make my day…err, evening, and yours too.. ;p
Happy reading!! ^__^
