*One crazy summer* *By the pool side*

A few minutes after they started walking, Mamoru

stopped Usagi and told the rest of them to keep walking.

Usagi thought it was over for her.

"Usagi, did you think he was cute? And be truthful."

"He caught me my eye, but no one could ever take the

place of you, Mamo-chan."

"I'm glad, but for some reason, I feel he had more of an

affect on you then you're letting off."

"No, no he's not. I mean, it's been awhile since

anything romantic has happened to me and--- I don't know.

But trust me, nothing more will happen between him and I.

You are the only man in my life."

"Glad to hear that. I love you, Usa." "I love you, too."

After their discussion, they kissed. Afterwards they

both had grins on their faces while Demando, who seemed

like he was stalking her, had a grimace look on his face. He

couldn't understand why she would want Mamoru and not

him. He really felt that he loved her, but she was steady in

the arms of another man. He couldn't bare it. He had to get

her alone so that he could convince her that he was the

right man for her. About fifteen minutes after he had been

first watching her, he saw her alone by the side of the pool.

He approached her with a smoothness that he mastered

years ago. He came up behind her and started whispering in

her ear. "So, you got rid of macho-man, huh? Well, I can show

you a whole new way of life, if you let me. Will you, Usagi?"

"I don't even know your name." she said in a breathy

tone of voice.

"Demando. My name is Demando."

"Well, I have a boyfriend. Fiancé, actually and I can't

cheat on him.", still talking in a breathy manner.

"I'm not asking you to cheat. I'm asking you to leave

him and come with me. You won't know what you'll be

missing if you turn me down. I'm very persistent Usagi, so I

can keep coming back to get an answer. By the way, how

long are you staying here?"

"Until the end of the summer. September 1st to be

exact."

"Really?! Excellent. But I'll be seeing you cause you

fiancé is coming. Bye-bye my sweet."

After his last words, he gave her a peck on the cheek.

She had never felt like this about anyone other than

Mamoru and she didn't like it. But at the same time she did.

Mamoru came behind her and hugged her. She seemed

tense and he could tell something happened.

"What happened, Usa?"

"Nothing Mamo-chan. You just scared me, that's all."

He smiled softly. "I'm sorry. Come on; let's get in the

water." He jumped in, but he knew something happened

especially because he saw Demando coming out of the pool

area just before he came in. All he could do was trust her

because he knew she wouldn't tell him.
