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. "

now it was a little bit late for change T_T and I hope that this chapter has
not disappointed you.
