28. Same Old Dance and Song

Thanks to Rainediamond, Elegant Sadist, James Birdsong, Sailor Rallison, tipsu, Doc-sama, for reviewing the previous chapter!

A/N: I decided to go against the flow and do - same old dance, same old song instead because I really didn't want to go about them fighting. Besides. I wrote another 2 that got totally carried away and not fitting of the theme at all. The other 2 should be posted in tumblr first. Slight connection with #26. Telephone. Preview of the connection can be found on tumblr, as i dont want to mess this sequence, and it's not long enough for a new story.

It was exactly the same in her dream. It was the same setting, same music, and even the food spread on the buffet table was the same. Usagi let out the breath she had been holding. No point brooding over the dream. He's not going to be here anyway. There's no way he would come to this event when he's not even in the country and not invited. Besides, I was the one who confirmed the music list. That song is definitely not inside it.

She picked up a glass of champagne and nodded her thanks to the waiter. Why did she keep having that feeling that someone was watching her every move? This was supposed to be a gala première for one of her clients. By invitation only, this event needed top security screening for her guests. She wasn't even allowed to bring any of her friends to help out on this. She shrugged it off. Then again, it paid pretty well. I'm not going to complain. The music cut through her thoughts. People had started dancing on the floor.

Sipping at her champagne, she fingered at the pocket watch that Mamoru gave her long ago. She had kept it well maintained, regularly polishing the metal to a shine and brought it everywhere with her. A smile flew across her face as she remembered her fights with her husband when they were young. She missed him so much during the 2 weeks he wasn't home.

The orchestra stopped, signalling the end of the song. A familiar tune started to play, and she spun around in surprise. It can't be! A tap on her shoulders shocked her, and the handsome face of her husband came into view. "Evening, my princess" He bowed slightly, smirking at her obvious shock. "May I have this dance?"

Mamoru led his speechless wife to the dance floor, swaying to the music just like the millennia before. It was the same song, the same dance that sparked the very first connection between them. "How? I mean. I did the song list! And. Yo- you're not even supposed to be here! And and! You're not on the list! How!" Her disbelieving eyes roamed over his tuxedo, fingers gripping tightly onto his sleeves, as though she thought he would vanish if she let go.

"One question at a time, darling." He laughed, spinning her around him. "I came back early, no thanks to your teasing over the phone for the past week." Bending her over, he whispered in her ear. "You have a lot of punishments to make up for doing that to me, Usako. One for each night." Usagi blushed at the memory of teasing her husband over the phone. She was bolder when he couldn't see her, and that greatly spurred her to push him further. A shiver of delight ran through her and she stifled a moan as his hands slid down her back, caressing the fabric of her dress.

"Oh. And did I mention that the person who requested for this event is actually one of my friends? He invited me personally. Naturally, he didn't know that the wonderful planner he has been raving about is my wife. Seems like you've impressed him quite a bit." He brought her back to position as the music ended.

"I'll be waiting for you outside. And. Remember your promise to me on the phone" He grinned devilishly. "I want absolutely nothing underneath when I see you later." She could feel the heat from her face moving downwards as she nodded her acknowledgement. I'll have to file for leave now by the looks for it.
