Natsuki spotted her goddess over at the bar. She got up, and told the girls that she would be back in a little bit. Both Mikoto and Mai were talking to each other. The power of alcohol. She thought as she made her way towards the bar.
Mai and Mikoto were talking really close to each other and both were very much buzzed. After they broke up, a lot of things were left unsettled. Mikoto never had the courage to call her after their fight. The chemistry was obviously still there and they both knew it, they could feel it. Mai however was starting to feel remorse for being here and talking to her ex. She was feeling guilty for being buzzed and talking to her ex. She didn't want to be thought of as unfaithful. The exact same way she thinks of Mikoto.
FLASHBACK
They were arguing that day. Mai was screaming and throwing things at Mikoto. Things had escalated out of control that night, their relationship was going through though times. Mikoto was taking double shifts at the restaurant and Mai had been noticing the girl grow distant. With Mai being more temperamental than normal, today's fight had escalated to being violent.
"Mai would you calm down!" Mikoto yelled as she tried approaching her girlfriend.
"No! How could you?"
"I didn't do anything!"
"Don't lie to me Mikoto" Mai yelled as she threw a plate at her.
"Mai… I'm not lying to… Watch it your gonna kill me with that"
"Is that why you where always so busy huh?"
"Mai, I swear nothing happened"
"I hate you!"
Mai went running into her room and locked herself in. Mikoto tried explaining things to her, and make it right. But Mai wouldn't listen. Mikoto stood outside their bedroom the whole night waiting for the orange haired girl to open the door.
Inside their bedroom Mai, was crying her eyes out. Mikoto had cheated on her with a girl named Aoi.
This Aoi girl had just been hired in Mikoto's Restaurant both of them worked the same shifts and had grown close. Mikoto would mention her periodically, in some random conversation, but she never thought much of it. The first time they met, Mai and Mikoto were sharing dinner together. Where Mikoto both introduced them, she didn't like the girl; she seemed too nice and touchy. The second time she saw them together, her and Mikoto agreed to have lunch together. As she entered the restaurant Mai's girlfriend was whispering something in the other girl's ear causing her to blush madly. Mai didn't want to jump to conclusions so she decided it would be better if she asked Mikoto directly, but the girl just changed the subject. Days passed and she didn't think much of it until one day while Mikoto was taking a shower and her cell phone went off. Mai picked it up and read the text.
"Can't wait to see you tonight. I bought you something special to wear" Aoi
Mikoto said that she couldn't spend the night today because she had to work. The pieces started to fit in Mai's head and she lost it. She sat in the couch waiting for Mikoto to come out and things just went downhill from there.
After Mai locked herself inside her room, she didn't come out for two days. Mikoto was long gone after that, and since that day the girls hadn't spoken a word to each other.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Why'd you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Cheat, wasn't I good enough?"
She knew this wasn't the best time, but she had to know. She fell in love with the girl, and she had gotten played the worse way possible. She was so buzzed that she had found the courage to ask, what she couldn't face being sober.
"Can we not do this today?" Mikoto sighed, she wasn't as buzzed as Mai but she wasn't as sober as Nao.
"No, we can't. Just tell me. Why did you do it"
"I didn't cheat on you, Tokiha."
"Liar"
"Even if I did, it doesn't even matter. You're already dating someone else"
"Just tell me Minagi" Mai pleaded as her eyes started to get watery.
Natsuki had made her way to the bar and was trying to get a seat next to the chestnut haired girl, it was turning out to be a difficult task considering the heavy bodyguards around her.
"Excuse me miss?"
One of the bodyguards quickly grabbed Natsuki and pushed her back. Causing, the crimson eyed girl to turn around, she signaled their men to let her through. Natsuki gathered herself and approached the girl whom was waiting for another drink.
"Yes?"
Natsuki was staring now, her accent just complimented her features. She had made it to the girl, but she hadn't quite thought that far ahead. The other girl had a smile across her face, but Natsuki couldn't tell if it was sincere of just a forced one. She really didn't care, either way she looked perfect.
"Can I buy you a drink?"
"Ara Ara I believe you still haven't introduced yourself"
"Uh.. Kuga.. Kuga Natsuki"
"Nice to meet you Natsuki, it's only polite to introduce oneself after having me dancing on top of you"
Natsuki could feel her face burning from embarrassment, which only caused the lady in front of her to giggle. Her laugh.
"So, how about that drink?" the raven haired girl inquired, trying to deviate her attention from her blushing.
" I'll have a White Russian" the crimson girl told her, with a genuine smile.
Natsuki ordered a beer for herself and a white Russian for her company.
"I see you have a lot of security." Natsuki couldn't help but notice as she looked around them.
"One can never be to careful in a bar full of drunk men"
"Well it's hard to stay away from beautiful girls like you"
"Ara Ara are you flirting with me?"
"Flirting? No I'm just being honest"
" I appreciate your honesty Miss Kuga"
Natsuki couldn't help but notice the slightly flirtatious tone when she said her name.
"Since you did dance on top of me, can I get a name?"
"Ara Ara bit curious are we, I'm afraid that I can't give you my name"
" Why?" Natsuki took a sip of her beer.
"Rules a lady like me must follow Nat-su-ki" The chestnut haired girl then proceeded to have a sip of hers.
Natsuki just blushed at the way she pronounced her name. Her mind was going crazy, she didn't want to stop looking at this girl ever.
"Hmm I see? Well since I can't know your name what can I call you?" Natsuki inched closer to the girl.
The other girl just smiled at the question and answered.
"Viola"
"Viola? That's an interesting name. So tell me Miss Viola, are your shows always this intense?"
"No, today was special" The crimson eyed girl took a sip, smiling behind her glass staring at Natsuki.
Natsuki couldn't help but laugh.
"How so?"
"Are you seeing anyone Miss Kuga?"
Natsuki was taken aback by the change of subject but still went with the conversation.
"No, You?"
"Me? Well, you see that gentleman over there talking with the red head, whom was sitting at your table?"
Natsuki turned around, and saw Nao sitting on that gentlemen's lap. "Yes?"
Natsuki felt a pang of jealousy, she really didn't want know if she was dating him. Him particularly whom had a smug expression on his face and acted like he owned the place. She couldn't stand the fact that someone else got to sleep with this girl every night.
"He is my boyfriend"
"I see, I don't mean to pry but shouldn't he be here with you? Instead of that girl over there" She motioned with her head and took a drink of her beer.
" Ara Ara I don't complain Miss Kuga, I am a stripper. People get to see me flash my attributes; I don't get mad if he talks to some other girl.
Natsuki didn't say a word and just stared at her, lost in her eyes. How could such a beautiful girl like that, think she doesn't deserve respect?
"Well Miss Kuga, I must go now I have matters to attend to." Viola said as she stepped of the bar stool, motioning her security along. Before she left she approached Natsuki and whispered in her ear.
"It was a pleasure meeting you Miss Kuga. I hope to see you again sometime"
And with that Miss Viola was gone and had left a blushing Natsuki at the bar. The emerald eyed girl didn't want her to go, she wanted to keep talking to her and to get to know her better. Hold her hand, kiss her and all those ridiculous thoughts that had never crossed her mind before. She shook her head and ordered a shot.
Ridiculous
She just stood there and looked around if there were any potential candidates for the night. Since her choice for the night had just left her alone at the bar, she decided to head back to the table. She wasn't feeling tonight anymore. She had left Mai and Mikoto by themselves, which now that she thought about it, wasn't such a good idea. It seemed her and Mikoto were having some sort of serious conversation, she could see them both arguing. Mai had just slapped Mikoto, and Mikoto had just grabbed her and kissed her. This wasn't good.
"What the hell was that?" Mai yelled as she pushed Mikoto away.
"To shut you up" Mikoto was blushed
Natsuki and Nao both made it back to the table to calm things down.
"I see you two are kissing so I suppose you cleared things out?" Nao commented.
"Shut up!" Mai, Mikoto and Natsuki yelled at her.
"I think its best if we leave" the emerald eyed girl commented.
" I think it is" Mai grabbed her blazer from the table, and put it on again.
As the girls were making out of the club, some girl yelled Mikoto's name.
"Aoi?"
Mai turned around to see the dreaded girl, whose name she remembered very well.
That whore.
"Mikoto! I didn't know you liked going out to strip clubs" Aoi, smiled as she hugged Mikoto.
Mai was making her way towards the pair when she felt a pair of arms going around her.
"Don't" Natsuki told her friend as she held the girl tightly trying to calm her down.
" Aoi, its nice to see you too, its just that now is not the right time…." Aoi, flew next to Mikoto noticing the orange head behind her.
"Tokiha Mai, I'm glad you two sorted things out. After what happened I felt terrible"
"We haven't" Mai answered plainly with Natsuki's arms still around her.
Aoi, felt somewhat embarrassed "Oh I'm sorry, I just thought … since you two … She told me what happened. I'm sorry I caused so much trouble between you two. That text wasn't meant for her it was for my girlfriend, Chie" She pointed at one of the clubs bartenders.
Mai clenched her fist and was about to slap her, when she felt Natsuki's grip on her.
"I'm sorry lady, but my friend here isn't feeling too well. If you please excuse us" Natsuki grabbed Mai and escorted her out of the club.
"Aoi, I'm sorry I have to go" Mikoto gave her an apologetic look and walked towards the other girls.
Nao just smiled slyly giving Aoi a head to toe look and passing beside her.
The four girls made their way to the car, but Mikoto opted to take a cab back home. Nao, tagged along with Mikoto leaving Mai and Natsuki together to drive back. The ride back home was silent, Natsuki was worried about her friend but her mind was also hovering over that girl Viola.
She parked in front of Mai's apartment complex and turned off the car.
-Silence-
"Are you ok?"
Mai broke down and started crying uncontrollably.
That completely answered Natsuki's question.
"I was so stupid" Mai told her between sobs.
Natsuki didn't know what to do or say. She was terrible when it came to being a good friend in emotional moments.
" No you weren't"
Mai gathered herself and wiped away her tears with her blazer's sleeve.
" I better get going. Thanks for tonight" Mai looked outside her window towards her apartment.
She didn't want to go inside, and have to lay in bed with Tate. She felt confused and that kiss with Mikoto just made things worse. She just wanted to be alone, and not have to deal with any of this.
" Are you going to be ok?"
Mai looked at Natsuki and gave her a broken smile " I will be."
She hugged her friend goodbye and made her way towards her apartment. She felt a pang of guilt when she saw Tate lying in bed.
Natsuki saw her friend go inside and drove back to her apartment. Not the Friday she had planned out, her friend ended up crying in her car and she made it back home by herself. She parked her car inside her apartment complex, and made her way to her apartment. She changed into her pj's for a lonely night in her bed. She couldn't help but smile before drifting to her sleep.
