Chapter 4: June's first Sunday

And the great day arrived. Fuu got up early morning and prepared the breakfast for herself and her holder sister, stayed home for a cold. Kuu had soon noticed the smile engraved on the face of her sister and her instinct told her that something was brooding.

" Then, where will you meet... your friends?"

She asked putting the milk in the fridge.

" In the park near the Tower: you know well that it is always there that I meet Hikaru-san and Umi-san. Do you want the hiyoko manju also this time?"

" Fuu, I don't know... I have the impression you been hide something..."

Kuu whispered with a malicious look. Fuu blushed and turned around toward the sideboard.

" Wha-what does make you to think it? I don't have something to hide."

" Yes yes, yes yes yes, nobody get up early in Sunday morning for an appointment with his friends and a girl don't prepare herself with care if not for go out with her boyfriend: tell me who is he? Certainly it is not Seiji or you would have told it. Wait, I have his name on the tip of the tongue. Fab.... no, it is not... Fred... not even this... Ferd... phew! Fer... Feri... oh, yeah: Ferio! He is called Ferio! Now I remember: his name is Ferio! Fuu-chan tell to your little sister how he is."

Fuu became of an unlikely shade of red and shouted:

" How do you know it?! You won't have read my diary."

" Ah ah ah! Does nobody have told you that you speak while you sleep?"

Kuu snickered and teased her again.

" How is he? He is a brain like you or one of those models who come to the study for their art book or a member of any important club. Don't do that face, I..."

" Enough Kuu, there is nothing to joke whit. I go to prepare me."

" Hey wait: when you will return I want to know each particular minimum and I won't tell a thing to dad and mama! I swear it!"

But Fuu was already in her room.

Fuu wore her favorite sundress, pale green with small white flowers, and picked up her hair with a ribbon of the same color of the suit, she was rather tempted by the perfume but remembered what he had told her two days before and gave up, a light veil of lip gloss - lent from Umi- accented the naturally red cherry of her lips and as final touch the glasses by Gucci buy for Christmas by his aunt to Milan.

" Oh my God! " she exclaimed looking to the mirror " I seem an other person! "

Fuu took her purse and went out.

" Bye Kuu! I go out: I will return about at 6:30 PM! Take care of yourself. "

Kuu reached her to the hall and took her by the arm.

" Wait. Tell me at least that I am right or you won't get out of here."

" But... I am late! "

" I don't care: you will meet with your boyfriend, you could not deny it. "

" When you did go out with anybody, do I have never done you all these questions? "

" I have always told you each thing when I returned home, now is your turn. "

" ...................... "

" Then? "

" ..................... When I return home. Ok? "

" Yes!! "

Kuu exclaimed victorious lifting a fist and lets go Fuu, who went out of house running.

Awful delay. He was in awful delay. In the crowed park was difficult individualize anybody. The young man reached the fountain and there saw his ethereal friend looking at herself in the water.

" Who do you attend sweet maid? Is your prince late? "

He asked to her shoulders and she answered without turn:

" No, dear sir: not my prince, but I attend a lost hunter. "

" Ah, do you offend me Knight: this is the consideration that I have in you? "

" Your Highness" she exclaimed looking him " the consideration that you have in me is very high. Your Grace should show mostly the love for me. "

Ferio smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the angle of her mouth.

" If I don't show, it is only because I know how you are timid, my Knight. "

They looked in their eyes and then burst to laugh. Laugh he took her hand and together they ran toward the station.

The park was very beautiful, colored, pleasing and the air was full of sounds and perfumes. A couple with the brochure in hand was deciding the program of the day.

" ...'Our new aquatic park has the longer slide in the world and in our covered swimming pool we give FREE lessons of Aqua gym...' Knowing it before I would have convinced you to carry the bathing suit of which Umi has so much spoken. "

Ferio said with a mischievous gaze. Fuu blushed and tore him the brochure from the hands.

" Gimmy it, I will look for something of interesting! Let me see... '... And as each first Sunday of the month in our outdoor auditorium there will be a concert of classical music: we will greet the imminent arrival of the summer with a concert for piano by Chopin.' Wow! Please Ferio, we go to the concert: I love Chopin!! "

He looked at her upset: feeling himself eaten up with jealousy, he wondered how she dares tell a thing of that kind in his presence and whoever is this 'Sciopen' who tried to carry her away. As if she senses his thoughts, Fuu began to laugh more and more strong and after half-hour she explained:

" With 'I love Chopin' I want tell that I love his music, he is one of my favorite composers. For the scholastic festival I practice me on one his piece, a nocturne: I perform it to perfection but Kisaragi-sensei says that it is flat, without emotions, however it is a very wonderful piece. Who knows, maybe a day I will play for you. "

She saw him throw a sigh of relief and added with a teasing gaze:

" Jealous? "

He looked at her again, cleared up the voice and he/she/it/you told to do one in hurry if they wanted to find of the good places in the auditorium, and taking her by the wrist he set off.

Fuu was right: the concert was very beautiful. She drew close him and leaning her head on his shoulder she sighed, her warm breath grazed his neck making run shivers along his back, and she left half open her eyes taken by the melody. Ferio reflected about what have happened: what would have happened if anybody comes forward and he have claimed her for himself? How would his life without Fuu be? He didn't want to think yet... he could not help. He knew very well that he was not her only thought, that she had the studies to carry ahead and a family to which answer, however... however he could not help and he continued to wish each her instant of life for himself, each her smile, each her look, in few words that she was only his and this his possessives was the principal cause of their tiffs. Ferio was sure of a thing: if he has lost Fuu he would have died from the pain and...

" Sorry, with this heat I should not have lent me on you. "

Fuu whispered standing back but he putted an arm round her shoulders and threw her close.

" Don't worry: until you will be with me I will stay more that well. "

He replied kissing her forehead while in the air the notes of the melody quivered transported by the summer breeze.

" ... these are hydrangeas and these rhododendrons. It will be better get out of here or we'll... steam! "

Ferio laughed and shook the head.

" No my dear Fuu-chan: I have the great opportunity to see good chunk of the terrestrial flora and I need a guide, who would be you. And what are these? Roses? "

Fuu sigh deeply and shake the depressed head.

" They are camellias. The roses are out: I sincerely didn't know that the Fairy Park has a botanical garden too. Its owners must have spent a fortune to create a thing so beautiful: they are right to nickname it 'Pearl of the Japan.' Hey hey hey! From there you arrive to the tropical greenhouse: if we go there we'll steam indeed!"

" Miss Leann asks me when I will begin to give you some orchids and... and I want to see how they are. Then we will go to lunch, I promise you it. "

The hot and damp air and the luxuriant tropical plants and a constant flow of water greeted them. The orchids, dressed with their more garish colors, made show of themselves in a perpetual competition of beauty: Ferio was spellbound by them, but what more fascinated him was the breathless tide of the breath of Fuu and the be resplendent of the sweat drops on her forehead.

" Ferio... I cannot stay for a longer time here inside: do we go out? After al... "

He hushed her leaning two fingers on her lips while with the other hand he cleared her forehead from the sweat and caressed her face, and then he kissed her tip of the nose. Fuu could not blush: she was already red for the heat. It was midday and nobody was so insane to go in a greenhouse in that hour. Ferio moved his hands on her shoulders and kissed long, after he told.

" Now we could go to lunch. What would you eat? "

Fuu smiled and walking toward the exit admitted:

" The only thought that I have in mind now is get out here and throw you in the first fountain that I see. "

Ferio looked at her amazed and then laughed: Fuu sometimes knew how to be a true tomboy, perhaps because the influence of Umi.

At 4 o'clock PM they had already visited a sizeable portion of the park, so they decided to rest a little bit- also because Ferio had slipped and was hurt - and sat on a bench.

" Tell me if anybody could be stupider: fall in that way in front of all that people! I hope that now you don't feel embarrassed. "

Fuu shook her head while she fumbled for a handkerchief in her purse.

" It could happen to whoever. How are you? But where I have put that handkerchief... "

" I am well, a little bit painful but I am well. Ouch! You hurt me! "

" Sorry. " Fuu whispered biting her lower lip. " If we don't put some ice or cold water it will swell. Wait an instant here. "

She got up of release and runs away.

" Hey Fuu... where are you going? "

" To take something for your forehead! "

She reached the nearer refreshment booth and delays her turn.

To one of the tables a group had sat eating ice cream and one of the boys noticed the girl in green and he drew near her.

" Good afternoon Fuu-san: have you too come here today? "

She turned and recognizing him smiled.

" Seiji-san! Good afternoon: I didn't expect to meet you today this is a pleasant surprise. Ah, could I have some ice? "

Seiji looked her from the head to the feet: she seemed different from the Fuu he met in school each day.

" Do you know that I didn't have recognized you? I am ill mannered: want you to eat an ice cream with us? "

Fuu looked at him: Seiji was her friend since primary school and was the most popular boy in their school. Peering beyond his shoulders, she saw he was with some members of the track club.

" Your friends would not appreciate it and... "

" I assure you that they won't bother you. You know that today you seem indeed... "

" ... they are waiting me. Here we see tomorrow at school. Good fun. "

She exclaimed taking the full glass of ice. Seiji saw her run and fade away between the crowd: who could wait her? Perhaps her two friends whom she had known in the secondary schools? How did she have known Umi-san and Hikaru-san if they have frequented three different schools? Fuu, who usually told him each thing, had not told it. A hand on his shoulder made him to return with the feet for earth.

" Who was that girl? "

His sister asked him. He looked at her and wondered how a girl so superficial could be his twin sister.

" Never mind. Stella... you are making to drip your ice cream on my shirt! And it is chocolate ice cream! "

" As noise for some ice cream, you should calm down. Do you know Kira a minute ago has seen that strange-but-so-cool waiter who work to the Douglas'? Don't you become jealous thinking that now your girlfriend is been courting an other boy? "

Fuu was nervous: to have met Seiji with his friends annoyed her, if they have seen her with Ferio the following day at school comments would not have spared itself and to be the center of gossips was her more remote wish, however... however that was the first time she got out alone with Ferio and she wanted that day to don't ever finish.

Without tell a word, she winded some ice cube in the handkerchief and with it packed his forehead.

" What has happened? "

No answer.

" Fuu, tell me what have happened. "

" I... " She looked around " nothing, nothing has happened. "

Ferio sighed: he knew very well that she had lain, but from her behavior he also understood that was not place for speak. He too looked around and sights the Ferris wheel thought that could be the right place.

" Would you like to go there? "

Fuu looked at it in the eyes and nodded.

Both were silent for a long time. It was the typical summer day: the sky was blue with some clouds which seemed sort of spun sugar, the sun was yellow and red-hot and the crickets sang their usual sol-fa. Ferio observed the girl sat before him and asked himself what worries her: the silence was killing him.

" You know," he told " they have decided to give me a promotion. "

Fuu, returned a conscious being, smiled him.

" Why? "

" They are about to open a new local... in London if I don't mistake... so they have decided to entrust me the management of the Douglas' here in Tokyo. "

She laughed to the new and after a little bit he imitated her, happy to have brought again the smile on her face.

" But are you sure you can manage a restaurant? You were so nice as waiter! "

" I remember you that to Sephiro I was a prince: I have governed only for three years, it is true, but I know what do. "

" You haven't wanted ever be a prince. "

" Right, but this time it is different because we will spend much more time together, I and you... now do you want tell me what is wrong? "

The smile of Fuu went off. Ferio sat close to her and leant a hand on her cheek, then turned her face toward him for look in her eyes but she held a low look and sighed. Ferio sighed and embraced her trying to make her understand she didn't have to fear. They stayed in this way for a long time. The heel had completed around 1/ 3 of his turn.

" Ferio... "

" Mm? "

" Ferio... " Fuu looked for the more correct words for express his thought. " ... don't you think there is be missing something? From some time I have this feeling. "

Ferio tightened her stronger.

' Oh, I know very well what we are missing, but you must understand it alone. '

" It is because we don't spend much time together honey: but now that you have finished the school and that the restaurant will be closed for the restructuring well spend each day together, also 24 hours to the day if we will want."

Fuu fixed him amazed and he answered kissing her.

" Don't worry: nobody could see us. Love, I would want only share each instant of my life with you: I know well that's why often I am jealous and little bit too possessive towards you, but I am afraid of losing you... I would want you to be exclusively mine... "

" Ferio! You know it... "

He hushed her with an other kiss. Their box had overcome the taller point.

" Now promise me that you will spend more time with me. And if you don't have plans for the summer we could organize a trip, where you will want. "

" Su-surely. "

Fuu blushed furiously while Ferio resumed to kiss her.

The box stayed announcing that it was the time to descend. Ferio took Fuu's hand and helped her descend asking what they would have done.

" If you are not sorry, we leave. "

She answered shyly. He launched her an inquisitional glance that made her blush, he took her hand and threw her to himself.

" Why? Are you tired? "

" N-no. " she answered looking the people as if she was looking for somebody. " it is only that... here, when I have gone to buy the ice I have met some schoolmates and so... "

" You would not want them to see us together. "

He concluded for her. Ferio sighed discouraged while Fuu nodded weakly fixing the roads reddish tiles. Then he added:

" Do you be ashamed so much to stay with me? I want to shout to the entire world how I love you. "

" No, at all! However... I don't like that the people takes an interest in my private matters: I must already bear all the ill wills they tell on of me to school and I would not want they invent tales also on us two. After all our love is a thing that concerns only us. "

" This is true. "

Ferio admitted. He looked at the time: 3: 45 PM, they had beyond two hours and half to their disposition. He thought about along scratching his chin and finally proposed:

" Do we go for a walk in center after have eaten something? A tea to the Douglas' and then some shopping? If I don't mistake there it is a train at 4:10 PM. "

Fuu looked at him surprised: for the umpteenth time he had done as she wanted and this - at least to her judgment- it was a proof than he loves her, and kissing him quickly on the cheek she answered:

" Yes, it is a good idea. "
