Sorry I haven't updated much lately, I've been feeling a bit down lately and haven't written much as well... I'll pick up the story again as soon as possible

"I'm glad I came over" Haruka murmured while she twirled some aqua curls around her fingers.
"I'm glad to" Michiru murmured. She cuddled closer to the blonde, enjoying the warmth of her body, the sound of her breathing. "I wish we could be together" she murmured, before realising what she just said out loud. She looked up and saw sadness in the racer's eyes.
"I wish that too... but we can't" She wanted to get up but Michiru stopped her. "At least not yet" she added, giving the small girl a crooked smile. She fell back on the pillow and rubbed her face with both hands, letting out a frustrated groan.
"Why are you with him?" Michiru asked carefully.
Haruka sighed, silently debating if this was the right time for this. But she told Michiru everything. How she always wanted to be a racer since she was a little girl. She was the fastest runner of her class and always won bike races with the boys from her street. She had been riding dirt bikes when she was old enough and once she had her licence, she had bought an old car, modified it and raced it on her own in quite roads or abandoned plains.
How she found out about the tryouts for Japan's Formula One team and entered them, as a woman and how Andrew was interested in her skill but doubtful of her position as woman. How she had become his girlfriend in order to win a place on his team and kept the charade up for five years now.
"All that, just to ride a car..." Michiru murmured. A sad expression was on her face when she cupped Haruka's cheeks "You must have been so lonely"
"I never realised... until I saw you playing on that stage" Haruka murmured. She sighed when she felt one of Michiru's hands trail under the sheets and stroke her sides. "You have to be patient with me," Haruka pleaded "I have to finish this season... after that..."
"We can be together?" Michiru finished for her "Won't there be trouble"
"Yeah," Haruka murmured, closing the distance between their lips "But it'd be worth it..." She pulled the violinist on top of her and they kissed each other lovingly, gently stroking each other's cheeks and shoulders.
Suddenly, Michiru's clock announced 6 O'clock with a loud chime. "Shi-----t!!!!" Haruka jumped out of the bed, quickly searching for her clothes in the mess on the floor "I have this dinner at 7, damn, Andrew's gonna kill me!!!"
Michiru jumped out as well and handed Haruka everything she found while the blonde quickly dressed. When she was somewhat decent, she pulled Michiru close for a last kiss "I will come back before I leave for Australia, but I don't know when..."
Michiru nodded "I'll be waiting" she kissed Haruka's cheek, cupping the blonde's face with both hands. She didn't want to let go... Let go the one she loves so much to that man.
Haruka took Michiru's hands and removed them from her face, gently kissing the fingertips. "I'll come back" she whispered once more stroking her thumb over the Aqua haired girl's cheek. She had to let go, break eye contact, or she'd loose herself again in those deep blue eyes. With a last word of goodbye she turned and left the building, car keys tinkling nervously in her hand...
