Chapter 6: Is not six o'clock yet


Misao open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy, that she close them again. It felt so delicious to laid in bed, so relaxed, so comfortable. She was warm, she even thought she was in heaven. She force her self to open her eyes once again, she looks first at the ceiling then, lowering her vision she look at her clock, it was time to get up or she would be late to pick up the flowers from the market. She sit up and slide to the edge of the bed, her arms, legs, her whole body seemed so heavy, she shook her head, trying to clear it. What was wrong with her? Why did she felt so tired?. Then, she remember going to bed at ten thirty, but she didn't fell sleep until almost midnight, she was worry about the next day, and it wasn't about the flower shop she was worry. She had a bad feeling about going out again with Aoshi, Bryan didn't call her again, maybe he was aware that Aoshi wasn't in town, and maybe that was the reason he didn't call her at all, not that she complaining, she was glad he hadn't bother her, she felt relieve. But what would he do, if he finds out that she was going out with Aoshi tonight? Would he treated her again?. Misao shook her head again, and raise to her feet, she didn't have time to think, specially at four in the morning, her brain may explode. If going out with Aoshi would cause her problems with Bryan, she would deal with the consequences later, after all he was worth the trouble.


Four hours later she arrive at the Flower Shop, with the deliver ban full with different types of flowers, she had to admit to her self that was the best part of her job, been able work with different types of flowers, but there was also a down side to all, she didn't like unloading the flowers from the ban, that was the part she hated. She took a deep breath and begin unloading. She was rather fast, she was done in fifteen minutes, which meant that she still had forty-five minutes before opening the Shop. Koaru arrive at eight-forty-five, they had time to talk about everything, while they drank a cup of tea. After a cup of tea, it was time to open.


The morning went by rather fast. Misao love working with Koaru, it was easy to work with, and talk to her too. But even when she was talking to Koaru she couldn't get Aoshi out of her mind. She really couldn't wait to see him, even if she was not ready to admit, she did miss him. Both girl went to lunch and talk more about every little thing they could both think of. When they return to the Flower Shop Koaru work with the flowers and Misao went to deliver the orders she had. She came back one hour later.


She took care of few clients, and help Kaoru with the flowers. It was three o'clock when the door of the Shop open, Misao greet the client like she usually did, but she froze in the middle of her sentence, when she saw who it was.


"Aoshi! What are you doing here.?" said Misao


"What, not even a Hello?" he said and he smile at her.


"Hi" she said, and at this point Misao felt a bit dumb, he caught her by surprise.


"Now that's better. And Im here is because I came to pick you up." he said


"Is not six yet, you are three hours early." Misao said


"I know that, but since Im leaving in the morning to Las Vegas and going home after, I though I could spend a little more time with you." he said and he reach to touch her face.


*His going home, back to Japan.* she though, just to think he was going to leave and she may not see him again for a while and if she did see him again would he have someone in his life? Misao felt a nod in her stomach.


"Misao?" Said Koaru. Misoa was so lost in her thought that she didn't hear Koaru. "Misao?" She said again.


"Mm" said Misao, turning to look at Kaoru.


"Why don't you go, there's not much to do any more, I bet I can handle it my self." said Koaru


"There, you don't have a excuse now." said Aoshi looking at Koaru.


"Oh! Aoshi this is Koaru my new help, Koaru this is Aoshi, Shiro's cousin." said Misao.


"Please to meet you" both said at the same time.


"So shall we go then, Misao?" Aoshi ask her.


"I don't want to leave Koaru alone" said Misao.


"I wont be alone for long, Yahiko would be here in fifteen minutes." said Koaru


"Koaru now your not helping." said Misoa showing a little anger. And Koaru took that as a clue to get lost.


"Bye, it was nice to meet you."said Koaru and walk away from both of them.


"I know is early, but I wanted to see you, I wanted to be alone with you."said Aoshi, and he kiss her softly.


The she smile and she said to him with out even think twice.


"If you think Im sleeping with you... Misao was caught off by Aoshi.


"Misoa if I want sex, I have a black book full numbers." he said.


"Im so relieve you feel that way. In that case since your not interesting in having sex with me, I have no reason to say no." she said with a calm voice. *jerk I can believe he said that.* she though angry. And Aoshi could see that she was annoy by his answer and he like it.


Five minutes after Misoa and Aoshi walk to the car, unaware that someone was watching then from across the street.


"So where do you want to go?" Misao ask him.


"Lets get a pizza and we can go to Central Park to eat it." said Aoshi.


"Alright," said Misao


After eating the pizza, they decide to walk around the park, they talk about everything. And with out thinking, she took Aoshi's hand. She notice his hand was strong and yet very soft, and her mind begin to wonder, if his touch would be soft, and delicate, against her bare skin. After a while they stop in the middle of Central Park, the sun was setting and Aoshi put his arm around Misao's waist, holding her close to him, never wanting to let go.


"Beautiful" he whisper at her ear.


Misao turn around to see him and she said. "Yes, it is." The she realize, he wasn't talking about the sun set, she was talking about her. Aoshi move his head until he was near, Misao had to close her eyes. She felt his mouth barely touching hers. Involuntarily she parted her lips as she felt him kissing her upper and lower lips, she felt his warm, and smooth tongue, gently laving the inner surface of her lips. Then she couldn't take no more, she broke the kiss by leaning against him. She had to stop the kiss. She was afraid to give him everything she had and not getting anything in return.

Misao had a strong desire to be relieved of fear, but she didn't wanted to make the same mistake she did with Brya. I guess she wasn't ready to trust Aoshi with her heart. But she knew she was running out of time he was leaving and he was not coming back and a long time.
