Friday night came by rather quickly ,and Miki had almost put it off ,but now she had retreated to her vanity mirror applying her makeup ,and humming a sweet tune to herself. She didn't think she'd ever been this happy in years.
"Mommy you look beautiful!" smiled Tenshi as she averted her gaze to her now well dressed mother as she bounced up ,and down on the bed giggling ,and looking at her mother in awe.
"Why you're such a little darling Tenshi-chan!" smiled Miki as she picked up Tenshi ,and spun her around rather quickly.
Tenshi just giggled ,and smiled.
"Now you be good for Mrs. Yoshino alright?" Miki informed Tenshi as she picked her up ,and walked downstairs to see Mrs. Yoshino already a seated at the table drinking her afternoon tea ,and she just smiled when she saw Miki.
"All Miki dear you look absolutely gorgeous!" smiled Mrs. Yoshino as she admired Miki's quaint beauty. Miki had on a blue dress that flowed past her ankles ,and clung to her ,and her crimped hair flowed past her shoulders as her milky white skin faintly glowed in the fluorescent light.
"My mommy looks like a princess!" bragged Tenshi as she hugged the middle-aged woman.
"Why yes she does… Miki it's so good to see you this happy it makes me almost want to cry…" smiled Mrs. Yoshino as she wiped tears of happiness from her eyes.
"Aw thanks…" smiled Miki as she hugged Mrs. Yoshino.
"I hope you have a good time ,and I promise little Tenshi will be in bed by 8:00 at least ,but for now were going to go watch my soaps." she informed Miki ,and smiled.
"No you promised me that I could watch Castle in the Sky!" pouted Tenshi as she stuck out her lip ,and a melancholy look played upon her features.
"Al right dear I guess we can…I'll just call Tanji ,and have him tape them for me." she smiled.
"Yay!" yelled Tenshi excitedly.
"Have a good time Miki dear I've got everything under control here!" Mrs. Yoshino assured her.
"Goodbye you two!" she called out ,and before she could hear another response she heard Ginta pull up in the drive. She walked outside ,and Ginta got out of his car.
"Hey Miki wow you look incredible!…" replied Ginta speechless as Miki's brilliant new look blew his breathe away. She just looked at him shyly.
"Thanks…" she blushed ,and before she could say another word Ginta gently took her arm ,and led her to red sports convertible.
"So where are we going?" questioned Miki as she fastened her seatbelt.
"It's a surprise." he smiled.
"What kind of surprise?" Miki questioned him as she twirled a piece of lose hair around her finger.
"If I told you then I'd spoil the surprise." he let out a smirk ,and gently nudged Miki's arm ,and she just smiled. It'd been a long time since she had smiled before. Yuu was usually the only one who made her smile.
::::The Surprise::::
Soon Ginta parked the car in the most fanciest restaurant in all of down-town Tokyo ever.
"How in the-" ,but Ginta quickly cut her off.
"Well my salary's really good ,and I would give no less to a woman as grand as you Miki." he smiled as he helped her out of the car ,and his comment only left her heart in a flutter.
They soon came to the entrance.
"Hello Madam… Monsieur… May I get you a table?" asked the waiter.
"Yes in the east wing good sir." replied Ginta as he gtave orders to the waiter.
"Right this way sir…" replied the waiter as he led them to their seats.
Miki stared at all the people in awe as she passed them. Many of them had dressed in their fanciest attires which made Miki feel like she was wearing a rag. Many of Japan's most famous stars dined here daily ,and for Miki to actually to be able to come here made her feel like a queen. The feelings ,and the thoughts that flooded her mind left her flabbergasted. When they finally reached their table the waiter pulled out a seat for Miki ,and left them to their selves so they could decide what they wanted to eat. Ginta flipped through the menu while Miki didn't even touch hers ,but only looked out at the huge glass window that was beside her. She could see the stars glow brightly above her ,and she could also see the nighttime version of a sky lit Tokyo. Cars passed by on the main streets below. Miki had discerned that they must be at least 200 feet in the air on the highest floor of the restaurant ,and the view Miki seen was absolutely remarkable to her. All of a sudden she was pulled out of her childish little world of fairytales ,and dreams when Ginta asked her what she wanted to eat.
"What would you like Miki?" he asked her again ,and Miki finally averted her gaze towards his eyes.
"Um I don't know whatever you're getting will be just fine ,and I'll take a water to drink." she smiled as she averted her gaze back to the balcony as the waiter returned ,and Ginta gave the man their orders.
"So Miki what's on your mind?" asked Ginta as a calm look played upon his face as he averted his gaze towards Miki after the Waiter had went to fetch their orders.
"Just how great this night has been ,and how beautiful the view is all the way up here… I mean it just takes your breath away." Miki explained then gave Ginta a small flirtish smile.
"Yea just like you Miki… You take my breath away…" he added as he gazed at her softly. Miki almost felt her heart beat out of her chest right then ,and her mouth went dry ,and no words could be spoken to return his comment. Suddenly the food was there ,and they both ate in silence. Miki ate some really fancy tortilla wrap full of some chicken ,and other random vegetables ,and drank her water. When they were done Ginta opened her car door ,and they drove out of the parking lot.
"This was really a nice thing for you to do for me Ginta-san… I really appreciate it. It made me really happy." smiled Miki.
"No problem…Anything for an old friend." he smiled ,and then turned the radio on ,and the song that played made Miki's heartbreak ,and she soon burst into tears. It was the song You ,and her had danced to on their wedding day.
"Why Miki what's wrong!?" questioned Ginta as he pulled up in Miki's driveway ,and quickly turned off the radio so he wouldn't upset her anymore.
"It's just that-that- was me ,and Yuu's song!" she cried out as fresh tears rolled down her face.
"Oh Miki I'm sorry… I had no idea ,but cheer up… Yuu would want you to be happy not crying like this…" he said as his eyes got rather serious as he looked her in the eyes.
"Miki there's something that I want to tell you… You may not be ready right now ,but I really do love you… I've never really gotten over you ,and to tell you the truth I'd die for you…Will you just please think about this… Will you marry me…I really want to be apart of you ,and Tenshi's lives…Let's start over Miki ,and live happily ever after…" he added ,and then he kissed her ,and he just left her speechless.
"I have to go!" she added as she pulled away from the kiss flabbergasted ,and she jumped out of the car before Ginta could say another word ,and walked inside ,and threw her keys on the table her heart nearly beating out of her chest.
She hazily walked into the living room to see Mrs. Yoshino ,and Tenshi asleep on the couch so she covered them up with a blanket ,and turned off the muted "Castle in the Sky" video ,and went to bed herself rehearsing everything that had happened within her mind as she met a restless empty dreamless sleep.
Ginta sighed as he rolled over in his sleep mumbling useless things to himself. 'I'm so stupid for doing that!' he thought over ,and over to himself as the weight of foolishness weighed upon his heart the fear that hr might have drove Miki away… His emotions truly had got the best of him that day ,but things would turn out well soon enough for the two star crossed lovers.
Author's Note-Well I'm sorry for not updating in so long. I have so many stories to finish that it isn't even funny! Such a turn around for Miki right? What will she say to Ginta once she speaks to him again? Read the next chapter to find out! Anjyu
