Deep Dark Secret
Chapter 3 - Tell? or not?
Haruka stopped dead in her tracks, as she had done earlier that same day in the library. "This is what I was afraid of. You or someone else finding out, and then pushing me to tell someone, or just going ahead and doing it yourself. I'm actually glad, in a way, that it was you. I know you're promise to me, I know you'll stay true to your word."
Michiru looked down to the floor. She didn't wanted to keep her promise to this girl, but she didn't want to risk losing her friendship either. She knew that she had feelings for her, but she just didn't know how to show it, or how to say the words. The three simple words that meant everything to every couple in the world 'I love you' she just didn't know how to say it to Haruka. Maybe sometime in the future she can show that she loves her. But not yet.
"I'm not ready for anyone to know. Not yet." she gave her friend a hug before opening the door for them to enter the guidence office...
Two hours later, nothing was said about Haruka's arms. The bell had rung, signaling for the students to go home. Michiru knew that she would miss her bus, and Haruka caught this as well.
"Would you like a ride home?" she offers as they walked back to their lockers.
Michiru only nodded. She knew that she loved this tall, sandy haired, teal eyed, athletic women, but she didn't know how to show affection. She felt as if she would be rejected by the friends that she had. They already hated the fact that she was friends with a 'lesbo'. Michiru was grateful that they didn't know she was one as well, Haruka didn't even know, nobody did, she was good at hiding any sexual attractions toward females.
"Earth to Michiru...Come in Miss Neptune" she pauses, waiting for her to wake up "...there you are, what happened?" She found herself shaking the smaller one's shoulders.
"I'm sorry, I just kinda spaced out there for a moment..." She paused. "What did you ask me?"
Haruka smiles and lets out a small laugh. "Would you like a ride home?"
She smiles up at her. "Sure, I'd like that, thank you."
Quickly they got their books out of their lockers and made their way out of the school, toward the student parking lot. Haruka dug her keys out of her pocket and stoped beside a yellow sports car, she chuckled some when she saw Michiru's jaw hit the concrete.
"Wow."
"I know, I'm a spoiled little rich kid." she motioned toward herself. " Only this rich kid's life isn't perfect, remember that." She climbed in and unlocked the passenger door for her friend to get in.
They both hooked their seat belts and Haruka drove out of the parking lot, following Michiru's directions to her house. It had been a while since Haruka had been there, and she only wanted to make sure she was going the right way. The drive there had been in complete silence, Michiru figuring out what she would say, and Haruka waiting for her to say something. Within ten minutes, they came to a stop in front of a large hill side home.
Michiru grabbed her books off the floor and, with all the courage she had ever drawn at one time, she leaned close to Haruka. Her lips meeting hers softly, allowing her the chance to easily pull away if she wanted.
After pulling away, she quickly exits the car and runs into the house, leaving Haruka looking in shock.
"Michiru...?"
