A Summer Story
Chapter 8
For Her
When the two got back to the shop everyone gathered around to hug them. Their friends were glad that Shizuma and Nagisa were back safe after that scrimmage.
"Shizuma-sama, you're awesome! I did not know that you could fight. Remind me not to make you mad." Yaya joked which earned a chuckle from the silver-haired goddess.
"Are you guys okay?" Tsubomi asked.
"Yes, thank goodness. I'm sorry about this and thanks for saving me again." Nagisa said shyly at the older girl.
"It's okay; I would do it all over again for you, my Nagisa." Shizuma smiled at her beloved cherry before holding her in a tight embrace.
Tamao approached Shizuma. "I hate to admit this but you have proven to me that you deserve my best friend, please take care of her." the younger blunette whispered with earnesty in her eyes.
This comment made Shizuma feel very happy "Thank you, Tamao-chan. I will most definitely treasure her."
"Who are those guys that are wearing a suit?" Tsubomi inquired.
Miyuki glanced at her best friend who gave her a hint of approval. I guess there is no lying out of this one. "They are the Hanazono's personal élite guard."
"Huh?! What the hell are they doing here in Okinawa?" Tamao asked.
"They were following my tracks under my Father's orders ever since I left home."
"Anyway, how about we go to a karaoke bar after work to relax? It seems that this past few days have been pretty hectic." Miyuki suggested, diverting the topic.
"Hooray!" everybody cheered happily in approval.
"Let's invite Hikari-chan and Amane-senpai too." Nagisa suggested.
"Alright everyone, let's get back to work before our customers start boycotting us." the younger blunette joked.
Miyuki rented a private karaoke room for the girls. Everyone was very happy singing and eating. Hikari, Tsubomi and Yaya being part of the choir team were the best singers in the group so they were always force by their friends to sing. Shizuma was also very good but she refused to sing unless Nagisa kiss her in public much to the redhead's embarrassment.
It's been a while since all of them went out together. Hikari's girlfriend Amane also came, she was really tall with her blue hair much shorter than Miyuki. They both look perfect together just like a prince and its angel holding each other's hand while chatting. Yaya and Tsubomi were bickering as usual which were always very entertaining to watch. The raven-haired girl had the bright idea to make it more fun by ordering some alcohol. The drinking age limit in Okinawa is 20 but no one really checks as long as you don't get crazy in public.
Tamao was trying to figure out what song she and Nagisa will be singing next while the redhead was so busy looking at the dessert menu trying to figure out what she will order. Shizuma on the other hand was sitting in the sofa chatting and drinking casually with her best friend.
Oh she looks so troubled with that dessert menu. Shizuma smiled while glancing at her redhead. "Nagisa, why don't you sing with Tamao and let me order something for you." the platinum-haired goddess suggested before snatching the menu from the young girl."
"Bu-but!" the girl protested.
"That's a great idea since she has been staring at that thing for a while now; if this continues then she won't be able to order anything." Tamao teased.
"Since when did you two start teaming up against me?" Nagisa pouted.
"Shizuma-sama just wants to end your grief Senpai." Tsubomi explained.
"Since Tamao-chan realized that you are so madly in love with Shizuma-sama." Yaya teased as she smiled mischievously at the redhead.
"Yaya-chan!" the blushing redhead complained.
"Ahaha. I forgot how Nagisa-chan could easily get embarrassed." Amane laughed joining in the conversation.
"Yeah even I can't help but tease her once in a while since she is really cute when she gets embarrassed." her blonde-haired girlfriend added.
"Miyuki-sama, please help me. Everyone here is picking on me." Nagisa pleaded.
"Alright guys, how about we stop teasing Nagisa-chan." Miyuki suggested. "Let's save it for later."
"Miyuki-sama! You too?!" the redhead said in disbelief.
"Come sing and dance with me, Nagisa-chan." Tamao handed her a microphone and dragged her away. I need to save her since I was the one who started the teasing in the first place, but I can't help it since she is just too cute for her own good.
Everyone continued with what they were doing and was definitely having a good time.
"Shizuma, we have known each other for a very long time but I have never seen you this happy. It seems that you really have found your match." Miyuki teased.
Shizuma gave Miyuki her signature cold stare but she started laughing after a few seconds. "Well, maybe I am in love Miyuki. I've never felt this attracted to anyone before."
"Shizuma, what are you planning to do with that proposal?" asked a worried Miyuki after learning about the phone call that her best friend got from her mother that day. "You know damn well as much as I do that it's not going to end quietly right?"
"I know and I hate it that you're always right Miyuki. I am certain with my decision though." I've only known her for a few weeks but I can't imagine a life without her. "I can't do anything besides to just wait and see."
"Hey we are here for you so don't do something so dramatic." Miyuki winked at her friend.
"My my, I don't know what you are talking about." the silver head smiled. "Now if you'll excuse me I still have a dessert to order." she winked at her best friend earning her a giggle.
Somewhere in Japan at the Sakuragi's mansion, an issue is being discussed. A girl with shoulder length black hair tied with a big red ribbon and auburn eyes was being pressured by her parents, Sakuragi Kano and Sakuragi Mei.
"Kaori they declined. You need to persuade that girl into marrying you!" a brunette with short hair all brushed up with brown eyes demanded.
"Mother! I don't think it will be that easy for her to forgive me after what I did to her."
"We have no other choice. We need the Hanazono's connections to be able to reach the very top. Not only is that family rich but it is also very well connected in politics and the royal family." a mean looking middle age man with jet black hair and auburn eyes sitting behind the table in his office explained.
"I'm surprised you are asking me to do this. Weren't you two so against our relationship before?" the girl protested.
"She is the best candidate. It will be very easy to manipulate her since she is blinded by love. Thanks to the Rokujo and Suzumi's engagement announcement, same-sex marriage is now being accepted by the upper society. Those two families are indeed very powerful to be able to persuade everyone." the man added.
"You're going to use her?" the girl replied in surprised. "How rich do you need to be before you're contented?
"Idiot! It's for the sake of our family gaining power, not money! With that your younger brother will have a chance to marry a very powerful person in the royal family and the Sakuragi's legacy will be written in history!" Kano said with hunger of power in his eyes.
"You still love her don't you? Don't you want to be with her?" asked Mei.
"I do, but I don't think she will take me back." I can't believe everything is starting to work in my favor since I've always wanted her back in my life.
"Do what you have to do! It's your duty for this family!" an angry Kano demanded.
Meanwhile at the Aoi residence, a drunk Shizuma was teasing Nagisa after they finished getting ready for bed. Shizuma can be a real flirt when she is drunk. No one has been able to resist her in this state because of her natural born charm.
"Na-gi-sa-chan, would you like to sleep together?"
Nagisa was surprised from the sudden request but she tried to ignore it. "Shizuma-sama, you're drunk. Here, why don't I help you to bed?"
Shizuma leaned close to the redhead's face. "Call me Shizuma." she demanded.
"Shi-Shi-Shizuma, go to bed. We need to go shopping with Miyuki-san and Tamao-chan tomorrow for their upcoming party." a nervous Nagisa tried pushing the older girl away.
"Nagisa, the meeting time is not until after lunch. Is that how you're planning to get away from me? I may be drunk but I do remember having a day off in the morning." Shizuma was inching towards the redhead's face making the younger girl blush.
"You're not going to leave me alone are you?"
"Nope!" the silver haired beauty said as she started ravishing the younger girl's neck while her fingers slowly unbuttoned Nagisa's top unbeknownst to the naive girl.
After a few minutes of kissing and fondling Nagisa finally realized what was going on. "Shi-Shizuma-sama your hand is on my breast." Where the heck are my clothes? Her auburn-eyes started to wander and she was surprised to see her pajama top lying on the floor. Oh no! When did she take my clothes off?
"Oh are they now? Well someone deserves to be punished for not calling me solely by my first name." Shizuma smirked as she slowly trailed her kisses downwards and gently place her face between her girlfriend's breasts. She then started licking one of the girl's erect nipples without taking her hands off of the other. After a while, she pushed her body against the redhead forcing the latter to lay down on the futon.
Nagisa gasped from the sudden contact but it was replaced with loud moans. She could not resist Shizuma's warm and soft kisses especially in places where no one has ever touched her before. The drunk Shizuma definitely knows what she was doing and has the situation completely under her control. Her slender fingers were slowly making its way underneath the younger girl's panties. She started squeezing Nagisa's butt cheeks making the other girl moan louder in pleasure.
Nagisa tried so hard to gain back her senses as she gently cupped and pulled her lover's face towards her to get the older girl's attention. "Sh-Shizuma, I d-don't know if we should go any further."
"Hmmmm, and why is that my love?" Shizuma purred and started blowing on Nagisa's ear making the younger girl shiver.
"Well, I have never you know? I have never.." Shizuma just gave her a blank stare. "Please don't make me say it!" Nagisa blushed.
It took a while for the drunk Shizuma to process everything in. "What?! You mean to say?" the older girl started blinking looking so confused as she was lost for words.
"I have never been this intimate with anyone before." the redhead was finally able to say it.
Oh my, this is just wonderful, I can't believe I am her first. This girl is always full of surprises. "Would you like me to stop then?" Shizuma teased.
The shy redhead just giggled and gently gave her lover a very passionate kiss. "I have to admit, it feels really good but I wanted to do this when we are both sober."
"As you wish, how about just cuddling then?" I don't mind waiting; just holding her close to me is more than enough.
"When you say cuddling you mean making out right?" the redhead narrowed her eyes.
"Hhhmmm? Am I that easy to read?" the older girl flirted.
"Well, you do have a reputation to hold." Nagisa winked mischievously at the seductress.
Shizuma started taking her top off and began exploring her lover's body. "I can make you feel good without going all the way, my love." she smiled seductively before gently kissing the younger girl's sweet lips and pressing her breast against the other girl's warm body making the latter embraced her tightly.
It was Saturday night; the day of the party has arrived. The party was held in a luxurious hotel ballroom. There was a big dance floor in the middle of the room which was surrounded by several tables so people can sit down and relax. There was also an open bar and a buffet table prepared for the entire guest to indulge themselves. Most of the girls were sitting together with their partners and everyone was having a good time. Miyuki and Tamao were slow dancing in the dance floor after taking a break from greeting their guest.
"Hey Tamao, I never expected your family to invite these much people."
"Some of them are our relatives but most of them are business partners of the Suzumi Group. I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow from walking around too much."
"Would you like me to give you a massage before bedtime later?" Miyuki whispered to Tamao.
"Only if you let me do the same thing to you." the younger bluenette flirted. "Speaking of which, I'm surprised you're friend Shizuma over there hasn't been flirting around with all those handsome guys and beautiful girls that are swooning around her especially since Nagisa-chan is spending most her time near the dessert table."
"Well you know she's not into guy's right? As for girls, I myself am surprised that someone was able to tame the Great Hanazono-san." The two of them were laughing heartily from the joke when Miyuki suddenly stopped and noticed someone familiar.
"What is it Miyuki?!"
"Tamao, that girl talking to Nagisa-chan, do you know her?"
"Hmmm, I think she is one of my father's business partner's daughters. Normally if they can't make it they send someone to represent their family. Wait, she's not your type is she?"
"Tamao-chan! Don't be ridiculous!"
"Hahaha! I was just teasing. Anyway, is she someone you know?"
"I wonder why she is talking to Nagisa? She's Shizuma's ex-girlfriend." Miyuki asked out of curiosity.
"The one that she dated for 2 years?!"
"Yes, Kaori…" I hope she doesn't cause any trouble.
"Oh my!" the younger girl exclaimed.
