"Mai Tanimaya"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
Mai opened her eyes just to tell if he was kidding. He was starring back at her with all seriousness. Mai smiled and kissed him again.
" I love you too."
Naru was doubtful of his feelings before, but as he said those words, he couldn't help but realize how true they were. He loves Mai. Mai loves him. How much better could life get?
" Ummm.. Naru?"
" Would you like to come in and dry off?"
" Sure, if you don't mind."
" No I insist, the weathers only getting worse so I can call a driver for you."
" Thank you."
Mai got out her keys and opened the door to her home. Inside Naru smelt a strong scent of apples and cinnamon, very calm and very homely. Her house was nice, it looked small on the outside, but in truth it was actually quite big. Where they took their shoes off was a separate little room that held coats, shoes, etc. Inside there was her living room nice and neat with the kitchen newly furbished with stainless steel appliances.
There was a huge bathroom, the colors aqua blue and white, with small little ducks on the walls floating inside of bubbles. Her bedroom was perfectly fitting to her style. The walls were red, with white circles floating aimlessly. Her bed was big matching the walls colors of red, white, and black. There was a computer desk, some school supplies, a t.v., and ipod, the usual.
But what caught Naru's eye, was the huge glass doors at the end of the room. As he opened them, he saw possibly the biggest walk in closet in the world. Apparently Mai was a women who loved clothes. Now that he thought about it, he's never seen Mai wear the same thing unless it's her uniform.
He closed the doors and walked around the house a little more until he ran into Mai again. She was making tea in the kitchen.
Suddenly Mai felt Naru's hand over her's.
" You don't have to do that. You make tea for me all day long, your not at work anymore so I don't need you to make anything for me."
"Well you need something to warm you up."
" I can warm up when I go home. Seriously don't worry about it I rarely get sick."
" Ok…."
Then, without warning, a powerful shot of lightening came and all the power went off. It was so powerful it shook the house.
" Wow that was strong! Well um the powers out so I guess I'll have to go find some candles…."
"Mai your forgetting something."
"What?"
" The powers out and looking at my cell phone it must have hit one of the cell phone towers near by, there's no phones and no electricity."
" Oh wow this is a bad storm."
" That's not the point. How are you going to call for a car?"
" Oh crap I forgot!" Umm….well….."
" Exactly there is no way. Could you grab me a flashlight so I can walk back to Shibuya research?"
" You are not walking in the middle of a lightening storm! Are you out of your damn mind?"
" Well what else am I going to do?"
" Your not going anywhere you can stay here tonight."
" Absolutely out of the question."
" No. Walking is out of the question. Your staying here even if I have to force you to."
" Fine I'll stay."
" Good."
" Do you mind if I use your shower?"
" Uggh.. No."
Naru left and went into the bathroom and Mai just stood there. Naru was seriously about to be using her shower, it's embarrassing. And why is he taking a shower in the dark? But I'll have to take one too. And with that Mai went to the upstairs bathroom and also took her shower.
When Naru got out he put on an available bathrobe that looked like it was meant for guests. Then when he stepped out he noticed that her dryer was running, and there was a note on it.
Naru, I put your clothes in the dryer. Here is some sweat pants and a big t- shirt. I'm pretty sure they'll fit. Anyways I went upstairs to take a shower and light candles in my room so we at least have some light in there.
Come on up when your dressed.
,Mai
Naru got dressed and safely found his way to the steps without tripping. When he finally reached Mai's room there was candles everywhere. Surrounding her bed, on the headboard, near the tv and computer, everywhere. But they did help him see. He saw Mai sitting on the bed writing in a notebook extremely focused. She didn't even notice him come in. He walked up to her and just starred at her hoping she'd notice, she didn't.
"Mai."
" Oh my god you scared me! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
" I didn't i've been standing here for like 5 minutes."
" Oh sorry."
" So what do we plan to do now?"
" I don't know. I hadn't thought that far ahead."
" Well as punishment for you practically FORCING me to stay here you must sing me a song."
" Are you serious? Hello no."
" Well than i'm leaving."
" No i'll sing you a song!"
" Really?"
" Yes! So just sit down and don't leave!"
Naru was just joking but then she started to sing a beautiful song. The moon was shining on her through the window. She looked absolutely beautiful.
"Oh what a beautiful night
Save me from shadow in my side oh my blue moon
It's the first time to meet somebody like you
in my life time
You are my blue moon
Oh, you are my blue moon
You make me smile and make me laugh
I know you are my little angel
When you kiss me, I know this is color of love
I Want to be The Air for you
I want to be tears for you
I will wipe away your tears
If you feel alone
*Oh what a beautiful night
Save me from shadow inmy side oh my blue moon
It's the first time to meet somebody like you
In my life time
You are my blue moon
Oh, you are my blue moon
Promise me, if i get lost on my way and don't know where to go
Show me the way, show me the truth, guard me with your arms, forever"
- Anna Tsuchiya- Blue Moon
As she finished the song Naru leaned in and kissed her again. This time there was more passion and hunger in their kiss. He slowly ran his hand through her now long and flowing hair. But all too soon for Naru Mai pulled away.
" What's the matter?"
" I just have to know are we like, going out now?"
" That depends if i ask will you say yes?"
" Yes! I don;t just kiss somebody i don't want to date!"
" Alright no need to get upset. Then yes we are going out now."
" Good. But before we actually go out you have to sing me a song."
" No."
" Fine then my answer is no."
"Mai! That's not fair!"
" You did it to me! This is revenge!"
" Fine. Just don't laugh at me."
" You didn't laugh at me, why would i laugh at you then."
" Cause i suck."
" No you don't Just sing."
And now like a dream, My heart
in your embrace, is held still
Without awakening for a single moment,
I dream an endless dream
And now like breathing,
if you were to always rest by my side
if you were to always remain this way
nothing better nothing better than you
nothing better nothing better than you
nothing better nothing better than you- Brown Eyed Soul- Nothing Better
Naru was indeed a liar. He was a beautiful singer. And this contest went on through the night until finally Naru fell asleep when Mai was singing. Mai ran her fingers through his hair and starred at his beautiful face. Until finally she fell asleep in Naru's arms, warm and happy.
