Chapter 2
Mamoru lay in the bed facing Usagi and thought about her. After reading some of her diary he started remembering when he had first met her when she was fourteen and he was twenty. Meeting for the first time on her birthday and he remembered how he had given her a hundred dollar bill (I know about the yen just go with It.) and her eyes went big and she gave him a beautiful smile that showed in her eyes.
Mamoru smiled again as he remembered how when Usagi turned fifteen he gave her a gold bracelet and a dozen red roses after he found out they were her favorite flowers. Of course he always gave Haruka nice gifts also but he never gave her flowers since Haruka told him she didn't like them. And just this last birthday Mamoru gave Usagi a stuff teddy bear that was wearing a gold locket around its neck and again he gave her roses. Mamoru picked up that locket from Usagi's neck and looked at it as he remembered their first meeting.
Usagi was a breath of fresh air to Mamoru as he had watched her run to Haruka and the two sisters hugged each other after he and Haruka had arrived at her parent's house. Usagi started talking a mile a minute telling her sister everything that had been going on. Usagi only stopped talking when Haruka went to Mamoru and helped him take the bags out of her car.
Usagi looked at Mamoru sizing him up giving him a look like no other had before. She didn't get all glossy eyed like most females did when they first saw him. Usagi looked at Mamoru like he was a fly and if she had a fly swatter she would have hit him.
Mamoru took a liking to Usagi right away even more after he got her attention as they were following Haruka to the house and Mamoru called Usagi a name saying it so only she heard him. Usagi turned around fast and glared at him. Mamoru stopped walking, stood beside Usagi and patted her head while he called her another name and then started walking away. Before Mamoru knew it he was flat on his face on the walkway since Usagi had tripped him.
Haruka seeing only that Mamoru was on the ground ran back to him to help him stand up while she and Usagi's parents walked to them also. Mamoru who was a little embarrassed stood up fast and greeted the two parents telling how he wasn't watching were he was walking. For some reason he didn't want to see Usagi get into trouble.
While Haruka and her parents talked Mamoru looked and watched Usagi smile at him with an evil look in her eyes as she walked into her parent's house. Mamoru knew that the summer would be interesting and it was. Every day he picked on Usagi even going out of his way to find her and said something to her. To Mamoru what he said wasn't mean and he knew that Usagi's didn't think so either. For if it was Usagi wouldn't get that shine in her eyes when she started yelling at him her eyes shining and a small smile on her face each and every time.
Mamoru smiled as he remembered that first summer. He rolled onto his back and watched Usagi as she went and lay on his arm that was out. He automatically pulled her closer to his body loving how her naked body felt beside his own. He was a little surprise when Usagi went to his arm as he thought about how Haruka never liked to be in his arms and if he didn't know better Mamoru believed she didn't like to be in the same bed with him. He had lost track of how many mornings he woke up alone. Mamoru automatically hugged Usagi to him as his thoughts drifted back to Haruka and he again wondered what she was up to and what she was doing at that moment.
Mamoru remembered the call he had made to Haruka earlier but she didn't want to talk to him for long and Mamoru could tell that she was at some party. Mamoru had gotten sad since it was their first anniversary and she didn't want to talk to him about it. All Haruka told him was to get Usagi pregnant so she, Haruka could have a child.
Mamoru was surprised when Haruka had told that she was going on a vacation while he and Usagi were leaving to go to his parent's private cabin the day they left. Mamoru wondered why Haruka didn't tell him before. But he wasn't really surprised. They had been having problems that only they knew about. Deep down Mamoru knew that he and Haruka shouldn't have gotten married so fast and so young. But at the time he felt that it was the right thing to do.
But things started going wrong on their wedding day but Mamoru didn't pick up on any of it until he started spending more time with Usagi helping her with her schoolwork. Mamoru knew that her father had asked him to help the girl out but Mamoru had found out that it was Haruka that went and told her dad to ask Mamoru to do it.
Not to long ago Mamoru realized that he was spending more time alone with Usagi then with his own wife and to him it seemed that Haruka didn't care. It seemed to him that Haruka did it on purpose. If Mamoru didn't know better he thought that Haruka didn't want to be married that she never wanted to get married.
Mamoru was going to ask her about it that one day until he showed up at her parent's house that one afternoon to pick her up and found Haruka crying on her mother's shoulder and Mamoru learned how Haruka wanted a child but had found out she couldn't have any.
When Haruka went up to him and hugged him and cried and told how she wanted a child Mamoru thought that it would make them close again. What a shock he got when she was the one that said that Usagi could do it for them. She could get pregnant and carry their child for them. At first Mamoru thought she was joking but when he and Haruka went back a week later and found his parents with hers there and they were talking about Usagi being able to get pregnant and have a child Mamoru was shocked while Haruka sat there smiling.
Mamoru knew he should have fought them more but when his father said how he wouldn't leave his money to someone who wasn't of blood and Mamoru saw the look in Usagi's eyes as she and he made eye contact Mamoru's mind changed. He always did think Usagi was cute and was growing up to be a real looker. And deep down Mamoru had been falling for Usagi since they had first met and during the times that they were alone when he helped her with her schoolwork. How could he not fall for her since he saw Usagi more then his own wife?
Who was Mamoru kidding? He was falling for Usagi hard and had always wanted to sleep with her even more after New Years Eve and that kiss. And if his wife demanded it and didn't mind Mamoru wouldn't mind doing it. He would take the next step with Haruka later when he got home and they could sit down and talk alone for they really needed to talk. Mamoru figured that he and Usagi would talk later there at the cabin about everything.
Mamoru reached and picked up Usagi's left hand and looked at the ring that he had given to her to wear earlier that evening. He was going to give it to Haruka. But after their talk earlier that day and she yelled at him and told him not to call her again until he got Usagi knocked up and then hung up on him fast, Mamoru didn't want Haruka to have the matching ring to his.
He also remembered how the other day he and Usagi were out walking around the lake and they passed an older couple whom both smiled at the young couple. The older woman made Usagi and even Mamoru blush as she talked about young love and how nice it was to see a young couple out together on a honeymoon. Both Usagi and Mamoru kept silent. Usagi not knowing what to say and Mamoru didn't want the old woman to say something if she knew that they weren't married.
Mamoru thanked the woman went to take Usagi's hand and started to walk away but stopped when the husband asked where Usagi's ring was. Mamoru looked at Usagi's left hand as he held it and then looked at the man and then the woman when she asked about Usagi's ring also since Mamoru had one on. Mamoru glanced at his wedding band had a flash back of when Haruka stopped wearing hers soon after the wedding saying how it made her finger fat and then Mamoru said fast that Usagi's ring was getting fixed. He bowed to the couple then walked away taking Usagi with him.
Mamoru looked at Usagi again wondering if the baby that Haruka demanded would really make them close again and if it was the answer to their problems. Mamoru smiled thinking about a child knowing that he really did want one as his eyes closed and he fell asleep.
Usagi woke up the next morning at first wondering where she was and wondering why Mamoru was in her bed with her. She felt her body get warm as she blushed remembering the night before and then everything else that had been going on. But mostly the reason she and Mamoru were both naked in the bed in the middle of the mountains.
It was because her mother, who had taken her to the doctors a week before she and Mamoru left, went and told Mamoru's mother that Usagi was able to have children. Unlike Haruka whom they found out couldn't have any kids. And since Haruka, their mother and Mamoru's mother wanted a baby in the family, Mamoru was told to get Usagi pregnant and Usagi was told that she would allow it to happen. She never got a chance to protest with the three women all talking at once and both fathers talking about the future.
Usagi asked why Haruka and Mamoru couldn't adopt at one time when there was a silent moment and then wished she hadn't opened her mouth because not only did her mother and sister yell at her but Mamoru's mother did also. Then Mamoru's dad got to complaining that he wouldn't leave his hard earned money to a stranger and Usagi's dad started agreeing with him saying how the money had to stay in the family. Mamoru had been quiet the whole time as he looked down at the floor only looking and making eye contact with Usagi once there in the living room.
Before Usagi could leave the room Haruka went and hugged Usagi and started to beg her to do it for her. Usagi not liking to see her sister cry finally only nodded her head once. Haruka screamed out in delight then ran to Mamoru and hugged him. When Usagi could she left the living room fast going to her room. She sat on her bed wondering how Mamoru would get her pregnant then went wide eyed when it hit her as she remembered hearing his father and hers talking about how they were not going to spend any money at the doctors for Usagi to get pregnant. Mamoru's father told hers that Mamoru would just have to do it the old fashion way and Usagi's father agreed.
They would have to have sex it was the only way the two men said. Usagi almost passed out then got tears covering her face with her hands fast. She looked up when she felt someone sit down beside her. She looked and saw her mother smiling at her. Before Usagi could say anything her mother started talking to her telling her that everything would be okay and how this would be the best for the families.
The woman then got to talking about how Usagi and Mamoru would go away and stay at his parent's cabin until the "deed" was done. Then they would come back and Usagi would move in with Mamoru and Haruka until the baby was born. They couldn't have the neighbors seeing Usagi with child the woman said.
When Usagi asked about her schooling her mother smiled then told how Mamoru would be the one to teach her. He did graduate at the top of his class the woman said as the smile on her face grew. The woman then got to talking about how wonderful it would be to have a baby in the family and other things but Usagi tuned her out as she started to go into shock not believing what was happening to her.
Usagi wondered if her parents forgot that she was only sixteen and had never had a boyfriend before. The closet she came to being on a date was the nights Mamoru would stop and get them something to eat as he drove her home. When her mother went back and hugged her, Usagi just sat very stiff.
As her mother hugged her Usagi looked to the open door and saw Mamoru standing in the hallway just looking and watching her. Usagi stared back at him and watched him walk away. She didn't see him again until the day they left in his car going to his parent's private cabin a few days after that meeting.
Usagi who was up in her room packing listened and got sadder as her mother told again how Usagi and Mamoru would be going away for awhile. The woman again told how once Usagi was pregnant then Usagi would be staying with Mamoru and Haruka at their place until the baby was born. She talked about how Haruka was going to wear padding to make it look like she was with child and changing it each month so no one would know. Usagi listened as her mother told how everyone that Usagi knew would be told that she was going away to a private school and to stay with a family member who needed help for awhile.
As the woman continued to speak Usagi got sadder and more upset. She didn't want to have to hide out and not be able to see her friends. She didn't want to sleep with Mamoru until he got her pregnant. What about her dreams and what she wanted. Didn't anyone care about that? Usagi thought. But at the time Usagi knew no one cared about what she wanted. She had heard her father telling her mother the night before that all Usagi needed was to finish school since he knew she wouldn't be going to college since he didn't think she was smart enough. Usagi got tears when she heard her mother agree.
After her mother left her room Usagi sat down on her bed and covered her face with her hands. She felt her bed sag as someone sat down beside her. Thinking it was Haruka again who had gone to her earlier and again thanked Usagi for doing it for her Usagi looked up. She got a surprised when she came face to face with Mamoru. Usagi closed her eyes and stood up fast. Before she could walk away Usagi found herself in Mamoru's arms being held by him tight.
"It will be okay. I promise you I will…." Mamoru started to say very softly but stopped talking when Usagi pulled from his arms and glared at him. "What Mamoru you will be gentle with me?" Usagi asked as she glared at him. Tears came to her eyes and again she found herself in his arms. "Yes." Mamoru whispered his voice being tender. Usagi stood there with her arms down her sides. "I'm only sixteen." She whispered. Mamoru's answer was to only pull her closer to his body since he was at a lost for words.
Mamoru finally let her go and grabbed her bags that she had packed. He then left the room. Usagi looked around her room again then went to walk out of the room and saw her sister in the doorway. "Usagi thank you again. You are the best sister in the world and one day you will thank me." Haruka said. Usagi didn't answer her and only walked past her and went out the house going to Mamoru's car.
Mamoru stood there and watched Usagi get into his car in the backseat. Mamoru told the parents good bye and looked at Haruka when she walked to him after their parents went back into the house.
"I didn't see any bags for you. Do we need to go by our place for them?" Mamoru asked Haruka after she stopped by him. "I'm not going. As a matter of fact I'm leaving to catch a plane as soon as you two leave. I'm going to go stay with a friend. I'm taking a vacation." Haruka told him watching Mamoru's eyes start to widen. "You didn't tell me that. I thought you were going with us." Mamoru said in a soft voice. "Gross no! I don't need to be there you can handle everything just fine without me." Haruka said then kissed Mamoru's cheek and walked away going toward her car. Mamoru watched her get in and drive off very surprised that she was going away and didn't tell him again.
Usagi rolled her window up after hearing the two and Mamoru walked around to the driver's side. She turned her head to look out the window as Mamoru got into his car and started it and started to drive. The two stayed silent the whole five hours as they traveled to the cabin. Mamoru drove and listened to the radio or some CD's and Usagi sat where she was reading or listening to her own music with her headphones. That was until she noticed that some of Mamoru's music was the some of the ones she had. So to save her batteries Usagi listened to the car's stereo also.
After they finally arrived and got out Usagi's eyes got large as she looked around loving the lake that was near the cabin, the trees, the mountains and the whole surrounding area was breath taking. She finally smiled and turned toward Mamoru as he started to take their bags out of the trunk. "It's so pretty here." Usagi said making Mamoru look at her fast. He had forgotten for a second that she was there with him. Mamoru smiled at her and watched Usagi blush and look away and grab one of her bags fast.
While Mamoru walked up to the cabin porch and Usagi followed he remembered when he had taken Haruka one day and she only complained about the place and they ended up leaving a half hour after they had arrived.
Mamoru put the bags he had down and went back to get the rest walking in and finding Usagi looking in the fridge. She looked at him then back in the fully stocked fridge. "There is food here already?" She said. Mamoru smiled and nodded his head yes while saying, "Yes my parents came and stocked the place a few days ago. Come on and I'll show you were to place your things." Mamoru then walked away but heard Usagi following him to his old bedroom.
He opened the door then stood to the side and let Usagi go in first. "Use this room and I will be in my parents." Mamoru said. "You….you're not staying….with me?" Usagi said a little surprised and a little fast. She noticed Mamoru start to blush as he shook his head a little fast. "Um not yet." He said fast then left the room going over to the one across from her's. Usagi stood there watching him walk into the other room and close the door fast. Usagi walked over and closed her door then started to unpack also. She finished before Mamoru and being hungry since they didn't stop to eat Usagi went to the kitchen and started to cook some food.
Mamoru showed up and just watched her being very surprised that she could cook and when she sat a plate down in front of him Mamoru got another surprised when the food tasted great. Usagi sat down across from him and started eating and again silence fell between them until Mamoru asked her about her cooking making Usagi look at him and answer that she wanted to learn to cook so she read cookbooks, watched shows and studied. She wouldn't say anything else and Mamoru didn't ask anything again not until dinner time and he started asking all that she could cook and he got a pleasant surprise. It was Usagi turn to blush and whisper thanks when Mamoru commented that she was the best cook he knew.
Usagi blushed again as she remembered that first day three weeks ago when they had arrived at the cabin. She thought about how the following days after that day, Mamoru stayed away from her except at the meal times and Mamoru only ate in silence. Usagi did see him looking at her when he thought she didn't know. If she turned her head towards him and he noticed he would look away fast.
Usagi was the one who went to Mamoru one morning as she watched him walk around the lake alone. Usagi joined him and they walked in silence until she asked him about a plant and Mamoru started telling her about it plus other ones that were near. Usagi had to smile when Mamoru told how he would have to bring her back in the summer time so she could see everything in bloom. After he said that Mamoru looked at her then down as his mind thought about Haruka. When Usagi went to walk away from him Mamoru reached for her to stop her. They both looked at his hand on hers then up into each other's eyes. Mamoru gave a small smile then started walking again back toward the cabin as he continued to hold Usagi's hand and tell about the different trees and plants. And Usagi let him hold her hand and listened and smiled now and then at him while they walked beside each other.
That same night while Usagi lay in her bed alone and looked up at the ceiling, Mamoru showed up and stood in the doorway and just watched her for awhile. Usagi sat up in the bed and looked at him then down. "Do not worry I'm not going to do anything with you just yet. It is still too soon." Mamoru said in soft voice. Usagi looked back up and watched as Mamoru turned around and went to the bedroom he was staying in.
Usagi stayed up late that night thinking about Mamoru a little relieved that he wasn't there beside her so soon trying to get her pregnant but also a little sad that he wasn't. Her mind and feelings started to get confused not really understanding what she wanted from him or even from herself.
That following morning and all the days to follow Usagi would follow Mamoru around and make him talk. Just like before when she would be at his place or they would be in her room doing her schoolwork. But this time they talked about themselves and not just her assignments. And just like before the two started to get even closer. At nights instead of each of them going to their own rooms early the two stayed up talking or playing the old board games that were there. Each of them at times cheating or letting the other win.
Usagi glanced at the ring that Mamoru had given to her the night before when they were outside watching the sun set both just standing in the silent night on the deck. Usagi wanted to ask if he was okay since she had watched him earlier as he seemed to yell into his phone when he was out there alone but she didn't ask. And she didn't have too for Mamoru started talking out loud.
"Today is our wedding anniversary and I was going to give this ring to her. It matches mine." Mamoru said as he continued to look at the lake as he held the ring up for Usagi to see. "It's a pretty ring." Usagi said in a soft voice as she suddenly remembered that it was a year to the day that the two had gotten married. Mamoru looked at her and smiled. "Here you wear it. I don't want that couple to ask nosy questions again if we run into them again." Mamoru said as he took her hand then slide the ring onto her ring finger. Usagi looked at him after looking at the ring. "Are you sure?" "Yes Usako keep it on while we are here." Mamoru answered then turned to look at the lake again. Usagi looked at the ring again being a little surprised that it fit perfectly. She suddenly looked at him after she realized that he had called her Usako.
Usagi smiled at the memory and remembered that after he had put the ring on and called her Usako, she looked up at him again then found herself being kissed again by Mamoru her second one in less then two months. And this time nothing stopped Mamoru from kissing Usagi the way he wanted. After awhile he picked her up and carried her to his bedroom where she was staying at not wanting Usagi's first time with him to be in his parent's room.
Usagi, who was turning red by the flashbacks from the night before, started to sit up but stopped when she felt Mamoru grab her arm and pull her back down onto the bed then moved to be on top of her.
To be continued.
