Chapter 5: All That She Wants
As usual, Michiru awoke when twilight came over the city. She stretched, climbed out of bed and walked over into the kitchen to get herself a cup of coffee. Still being a little groggy, she flinched when her doorbell rang. The aqua haired girl walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. A well-known face looked back at her, and Michiru broke into a wide grin. She opened the door and called out: "Haruka! Good to see you." Since their one night stand, which had happened one week ago, the two women hadn't seen each other anymore, much to Michirus dismay. She already had been worrying that Haruka maybe had changed her mind about their friendship, and seeing her now brought relief to her heart. "Hey Michiru." The blonde replied, flashing one of her famous, all-too-sexy smiles at her. "May I come in?" she then asked, and Michiru nodded, stepping aside. Haruka entered her house, and Michiru closed the door behind her. Haruka looked at her, smiling. "Sorry that I didn't visit you for a whole week, but I was pretty busy. There's this weird street party tomorrow, and I had to make sure that all things in town are safe." She explained. "It's okay." Michiru replied, smiling warmly. Haruka smiled back at her, and Michiru made a vague gesture towards the living room. "Come, let's sit down." She suggested. Haruka nodded, and the two of them walked into the living room where they sat down. "Did those beat nicks bother you again?" Haruka asked while Michiru poured her a glass of red wine. The aqua haired girl shook her head no. "No, they left me alone. Surprisingly enough." Haruka smiled to herself. "Seems like my talk with the police chief did have a use after all." She then grinned. Michiru grinned back and handed the filled wine glass to her friend. "Cheers, Haruka." "Cheers." The blonde replied. Both took a sip from their wine, and Haruka casually leaned back in the couch, placing her right ankle on her left knee. "How have you been doing last week?" the blonde asked. Michiru shrugged. "As always...well, almost. Slept all day long, but stayed in the house at night. I didn't want to go outside..." she trailed off. "You feared the four men, right?" Haruka gently asked. Michiru nodded, looking down at her feet. "And...I was a little worried." She then admitted. "Worried? Why?" Haruka asked, honest concern in her voice. "Because of you." Michiru softly spoke. She looked up and met Harukas gaze. "I thought that maybe...you changed your mind and didn't want my friendship anymore after we..." she blushed and stopped talking. Haruka smiled and patted the free seat next to her. "Come and sit here with me, Michiru." Slowly, the aqua haired girl got up and sat down next to Haruka. Her eyes widened in surprise when Haruka gently put an arm around her. "What made you think that, darling?" she spoke, her voice dripping with affection, passion and...love? No, Michiru decided. It couldn't be that Haruka loved her...after all, it had been just sex... "I know that it was rude from me to not contact you for a whole week long." Haruka now continued. "But, you see, the Mayor asked me if I could help checking the town security, and we did that over the day. I was simply to tired to visit you. Forgive me?" The last two words were accompanied by a pair of teal, cute puppy dog eyes. Michiru couldn't help it but had to giggle at the expression Haruka made. "Of course I forgive you, Haruka." She let out a sigh and leaned against the taller woman, who rubbed her shoulder. "You know, Haruka..." Michiru spoke on, causing Haruka to look down at her. "That's all I ever wanted." Haruka raised one eyebrow, and Michiru smiled at her. "All I ever wanted...was a friend. And maybe...a lover." The last two words were almost inaudible, but Haruka heard them anyway. Slowly, the taller woman leaned down until her lips captured Michirus in a soft kiss. Michiru immediately responded to it, wrapping her arms around the blondes neck. Haruka pulled her closer, but then Michiru let herself fall backward, causing herself to lie on her back on the couch, with Haruka on top of her. All that without breaking the kiss. Finally, after a seemingly endless time, the two women broke apart. "I want you." Michiru whispered, a little out of breath. Haruka just nodded, and they sank into another, more passionate kiss. Michirus hand searched for the switch of the small lamp that stood next to the couch on a little desk, found it, and then darkness overwhelmed the couple. Neither Haruka nor Michiru realised that they were watched from a cold pair of eyes that soon vanished after the lights had went out.
