Arghh... I'm writing another fic. Please read and review guys! Thanx a lot...

The one.

The restaurant filled with the sound of people chattering. But at one table, the couple barely converse. The one with short sandy blonde hair concentrated on her half-done steak, and never left her eyes off the plate.

"Haruka, why are you so quiet?" the voice of the girl who sat opposite her forced Haruka to look up.

"Nothing." Replied Haruka, obviously uninterested to further continue the conversation.

"Please dear, give me two years, and we will be together again. Please…" begged the girl.

"Its not the same Usagi. You cannot simply terminate your marriage after a certain period of time. You just cannot…" replied Haruka.

"But I love you Haruka. More than I love him!" Usagi paused before continuing back, "I want to be with you."

Hearing that, Haruka lifted her head and looked straight into Usagi's eyes, now filled with newly formed tears.

"Never promise anything if you are not sure. Lets just finish our meal. I don't want to ruin our final date with some unrealistic arguments." Replied Haruka, continued eating.

Of course Haruka did not want any arguments with Usagi. Arguments will only worsen her heartache. In two days Usagi will be marrying Mamoru. They have been engaged since both of them were babies. Usagi's father, the mayor, made the wedding arrangement with his best friend, a successful businessman.

Haruka knew that Usagi belongs to another person since the first time she met her. Usagi is one cheerful and bubbly girl. She is the first person that taught Haruka about honesty and friendship that soon developed into love and passion. It just happenned, and neither Haruka nor Usagi can run from the affection that had stung their heart.

Flashback

"Haruka, I… I love you. I can't deny this feeling anymore."

"You shouldn't feel like this Usagi. What about Mamoru?"

"I love him because he is gonna be my husband. Don't you love me Haruka?"

"I do love you. I love you so much! But this is not right. We are not supposed to keep on feeling like this."

"What if I cancel my marriage?"

"No! No Usagi. I don't want you to turn down your parents hope. And… trust me, you're gonna have a happy family"

"Oh Haruka… if only I had known you first…"

"Hush now Usagi, let us spend the remaining days that we have together."

***

Haruka realised that she had prevented Usagi from terminating her engagement with Mamoru. She didn't want Usagi to embarrass her family. What will everyone say about her? The mayor's daughter left her fiancée for a lesbian? Absolutely not! Usagi cannot receive that kind of publicity. She really loved Usagi, very much, very very much. In fact, she was ready for Usagi to be her permanent companion, for life. But the little voice in her heart said that they couldn't be together. Not now. Or perhaps, not ever. Even Haruka didn't understand why she felt like that. She just knew…

After finishing their meal, both of them left the restaurant in Haruka's yellow convertible. Haruka stopped in front of Usagi's house, got out, and opened the door for her lover.

"This is it Usako. Just, never forget the love that we shared, please." Said Haruka. Her voice trembled as to control the lump of tears that starts to fall from her teal eyes.

"No Haruka, our love will never end. I promise you. Just give me two years." Replied Usagi as she got out, and stand only an inch away from Haruka.

Haruka gently lifted Usagi's chin, so that their lips grew closer, and closer. With the intoxicating smell of each other's, and the sorrow that jumbled between them, the couple shared a passionate kiss. A kiss that had never felt so great and yet so painful, a goodbye kiss. When both of them finally gathered their breath back, Haruka broke the silence. "Usagi, please do not give me any hope. If we are meant to be together, then we will. I will always pray for your happiness. I love you."

"I love you too Haruka." Replied Usagi.

"Take a very good care of my lover." Replied Haruka, smiling and playfully touching Usagi's nose gently, and her eyes gleamed with newly formed tears.

"I will." Usagi, who was now sobbing and drenched in tears, cannot think of other sweet words to be uttered to Haruka. It was over. She knew it. She knew that Mamoru loved her and cared about her. She also knew that her life would definitely change with the title Mrs. Chiba she'll bear. And Haruka was right. There probably wouldn't be any 'two years'. She just said that to ease Haruka's and her own pain. She was aware that it is not easy to terminate a marriage, or to divorce, not with her parents' reputation at stake. But who knows, with God's will, they may be together someday.

Haruka has entered her car and ready to speed off before Usagi called her.

"Haruka, you will be coming to my wedding, right?" asked Usagi.

"Of course I will." replied Haruka, forcing a dry smile to her lover.

Accompanied with the glittering stars, the yellow convertible faded from Usagi's sight.

For two hours Haruka had been occupying the same spot in the 'Oak Bar'. She had been drinking too much. She drank a whole glass at every thought of her sweet memories with Usagi, the beautiful wedding that had just took place, and her life without Usagi. She realised that there will be no more wake up call every morning, no more girl with long blonde hair waited in front of her office every evening, no more cheerful Usagi that would make her smile and laugh after her dull day in the office. Only memories left, sweet memories. Usagi will follow her husband to New York, and only God knows when will they meet again.

"Sir, we are closing. I'm sorry, but you should leave now." The bartender's voice snapped Haruka from her thought of Usagi.

"Shut up. Leave me alone!" Haruka hissed back, obviously drunk.

"But sir, we are closing. Otherwise I have to call my manager." The bartender replied back.

"Do you think I'm scared of your manager?! Huh?!!" her voice raised and she immediately stands up to grab the boy's collar with one hand, while a fist formed in another hand.

"Hey! What's going on here?!" suddenly appeared a female voice from behind Haruka.

"Er.. miss, this guy refuses to leave." Replied the bartender with shaky voice, fears of encountering Haruka's fist.

"Hey mister, I am the owner of this place. Please don't create a scene here." Said the lady owner to Haruka while roughly pulling Haruka's hand off the poor bartender. The act raised Haruka's fist to fling towards the owner. Quickly, she bended and successfully escaped the blow, while at the same time jabbing Haruka's chin. Due to her unsteady condition, Haruka fell to the floor.

"Haruka?! Tenoh Haruka?!" the lady-owner gasped at seeing the familiar face.

In her blurry vision, Haruka sees the owner. She was wearing brown khakis pants with white round-neck T-shirt, together with a light brown blazer. She winced as to examine the tall lady's face.

"You?!" was the last word mumbled by Haruka before she fainted.
