Well, this is much shorter than I expected. I'm really liking how the story is progressing though. This could potentially be one of my favorite chapters.

" Hmmm..." Mugi mumbled as she deeply thought about Ritsu's situation.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"So basically you're jealous!" The blonde girl proclaimed.

"N-no. I'm not..i'm just...uh..worried. Yeah, that's it worried!" Ritsu told herself proudly.

"Mhmm..." Mugi looked directly at Ritsu's amber eyes.

"...Fine. I guess I am a little jealous.." Ritsu said sheepishly.

"Good! That's the first part to finding happiness. You have to realize your true feelings." She clapped her hands together.

"Ok..."

"Next, you have to express how you feel about her. Do you like her, love her?"

"Of course I love her..."

"But do you love her love her?" Mugi pried.

"...I don't know. I guess.."

"Hmm..."

'This is so weird, why do I feel this way?' Ritsu put her head down against the table reflecting on her predicament.

"Would it be weird if I did love Mio? I mean, you know, more than a friend?"

"Well...it isn't normal, but love is love."

Mugi put some thought into it. "You can't stop two people who feel that way about each other."

Ritsu sighed as her mind was consumed in a state of confusion.

"Can you dance?" Mugi asked breaking the silence.

"Of course."

"I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. Do you know how to slow dance?"

"Uh...no?"

"Ok!" Mugi stood up quickly. "Then we'll have to do something about that." She said cheerily.

Ritsu slid off her chair standing beside Mugi. They decided to practice in Ritsu's room since it was very spacious.

Mugi positioned herself in front of Ritsu. She smiled at the drummer before instructing her what to do next.

"Okay Ritsu, in your scenario you have to take the lead. So you have to ask me to dance."

"May I have this dance Mugi?" The brunette asked nonchalantly.

"Yes, you may." Mugi lightly blushed.

"Now take my left hand into yours and place your right hand to the back of my spine between my shoulders."

Ritsu obediently did as she was told as Mugi placed her left hand on her shoulder. She realizied that her body was pressed closer to Mugi's. Her face flushed naturally as she looked into the pianist's eyes.

"Good. Now comes the difficult part." Mugi giggled lightly. "You're going to move your right foot forward while I move mine back. Take note that you are the leader and I am the follower."

Ritsu proceeded with ease with the first few steps.

"Great. Now you're going to glide across floor moving with your right foot first before the left."

The drummer shifted her feet as she was instructed slowly moving along before quickening her pace. Although, she did ocassionally step on Mugi's feet, in which the blonde girl winced briefly before promptly masking it with a smile.

"Let's try it with some music this time." Mugi connected her ipod to Ritsu's stereo as she selected a song.

Ritsu took her stance looking into Mugi's eyes with fiery determination.

As soon as the music started she moved to its tempo with the utmost elegance and precision. She could feel a slight trace of sweat on her forehead as she concentrated on her movements. Looking into Mugi's eyes she blinked once surprised to see Mio in the pianists position. Nonetheless, she continued her dance holding her friend's hand firmly while pulling Mio's body closer.

She slowly slid her right hand lower until it reached the midline of her spine. This enabled Ritsu to close the gap between the two as she grinned slyly looking into those familiar stormy eyes. 'You don't know just how beautiful you are Mio.'

Mio looked up at Ritsu, her long silky hair flowing freely as the brunette spun her around before pulling her close again. Her eyes focused on the illuminated amber hue in front of her.

Ritsu was so focused that she eventually took a misstep causing her to trip onto Mio. Luckily she steeled herself before falling and pressed her hands on the ground. She blushed beet red when she realized Mio's face was between her hands. Her heart rate quickened as she felt her blood rush to her extremities.

Mio looked up at Ritsu, observing her lengthy bangs hovering over face. She swallowed hard preparing herself for what would happen next.

Ritsu examined Mio's soft lips resisting the temptation to press hers against them. She knew deep inside her soul that she couldn't. 'Do it' her subconscience stated.

Her body moved on its own as she shut her eyes inching closer, her hair gently brushing Mio's face.

Mio quickly placed her index finger between their lips.

Astonished by the sudden motion, Ritsu opened her eyes surprised to see that Mugi had replaced Mio.

"That's enough for today." Mugi said as she gave a nervous smile.

...See what I did there? Haha.

I expect to have chapter 3 finished by tomorrow.
