Feelings that love brings

Hi guys! I'm back with another chapter. I've decided that the pairing will be Van and Hitomi. Could there have been a better coupling?^_^ It's not like I would have paired her with Allen. @_@ This story is going to start getting really fluffy, so beware! Alright, on with the story!
Alternate Universe/Pairing:V/H
Ch.5:Change of heart-part 2
Van climbed into his black Honda Civic and drove down to the local flower shop. When he went inside, a little bell jingled and a middle aged woman smiled at him. "Hello and good morning! How can I help you today?" Van cleared his throat, and a light blush adorned his cheeks. "Um, I would like to buy a bouqet of white and pink lilies, and a couple of white and pink roses with some baby's breath. And do you sell chocolate?"
"Why yes we do." The lady hummed to herself as she assembled the flowers. The lady turned to Van and smiled at him. "Are you buying this for someone special?"
Van sweat-dropped and blushed even harder. "N-no, not really. I'm buying this for a girl I want to apologize to. I was mean to her, and I feel bad about it. So I was hoping........." The lady shook her head, and said:"You don't need to explain. I understand. I hope she will accept your apology." Van gave her his credit card to pay for his order, and left with the woman wishing him good luck.
* * * * * * * *
Hitomi lay on her bed, trying to do some work. She had a speech to work on, but couldn't concentrate. All she could think about was him....... Knock! Knock! Hitomi sat up and yelled for the person to come in. It was Miaka. "Hey Miaka," Hitomi murmered. Miaka came in and fell backwards onto Hitomi's mattress. She had an irritated look on her face. Hitomi guessed it was because of Tamahome. Hitomi put her speech away, and turned to Miaka waiting for her to speak.
"Oh, Hitomi! Don't you hate guys? They can be so dumb sometimes. Do you know what happened yesterday? I went to Tamahome's job yesterday to suprise him because I wanted to have lunch with him on his break. Well guess what I saw when I got there? I saw this blonde tramp flirting with him! And guess what, he was just sitting there laughing about it, flirting right back. I was so angry. When I asked him about it, he just said I had nothing to worry about. That she was just being friendly. I just whacked him a couple of times with my purse and stormed out."
"I found out her name. It's Yui Hong. I think I'm going to do a fake customer complaint on her. Hey! Hitomi, aren't you listening?"
"Oh I'm sorry, Miaka. I'm just thinking about something. But I was listening. Look you have nothing to worry about. Tamahome adores you, and you're probably just making a big deal out of nothing. You're real lucky to be with the one you love most. " Miaka turned to her and smiled. "You're right. I can get pretty carried away. Hey, you want some ice cream? I bought some to drown my sorrows in, but we can eat it to revel in happiness. Hold on while I go get it." When Miaka left the room, Hitomi thought she'd take a shower real quick. A shower and some ice cream would make her feel better.
She was in the shower for about ten minutes when she heard the doorbell. *It's probably Miaka,*she thought. *Her arms are probably too full of ice cream to open the door.* ^-^Hitomi wrapped a towel around herself, and went to open the door.
Van stood at the door of the house waiting for someone to answer the door. He did'nt think this was that girl's house. He could'nt make out her address anymore. He'd dropped the paper Folken gave him in a puddle of water, so the writing was smeared. He could here someone coming, so he decided to ask this person for directions. As the door opened , he could hear a girl say in a voice full of laughter :"Let me guess, you bought so much ice cream you can't even open the door......" When it opened, Van came face to face with Hitomi.
"Van? W-what are you doing here?" Van stared at her. Her short hair ws dripping wet, her long smooth legs glistened, and her towel didn't cover her as well as it was supposed to.^_~ Van realized he was staring at her, and his body began to get warm and his face burned with embarrassment. Hitomi realized he was staring at her body, and began to blush. Hitomi crossed her arms over her chest, and stood there silent waiting for him to say something. The moment was clearly uncomfortable for the both of them. Van cleared his throat, and raised his eyes to meet hers.
"T-t-these are for you." He handed her the flowers and candy. Hitomi's eyes widened in suprise. She reached out her arms to accept her gifts. Then Van bowed low at the waist, and said: Gomen nasai. I have been rude, and I am ashamed of my behavior towards you. I hope you can accept my apology." He straightened and stood waiting, unable to meet her eyes. *I feel like a fool,* he thought. Hitomi stared at him, and her eyes filled with tears. (She sure does cry a lot, ne?) Nothing had touched her more than this apology from this rude boy she barely even knew. Who was this man that was stuttering his words, apologizing to her and blushing like a little boy?
Much to his suprise, Hitomi reached her arms around Van's neck and hugged him. Normally he probably would have pushed her away, but this time he didn't. He relished the feeling of her hug, but did'nt want to admit it. The feeling of her body pressed against his really made him blush. He tried to gently remove her. "H-h-hey, it's okay. Calm down. We shouldn't be hugging out here like this. You're only wearing a towel. What if someone sees us?" Hitomi released him, and wiped at her eyes. She laughed at him a little and smiled.
"I'm sorry. I'm just so touched. Thank you for the flowers and candy. It's all so wonderful. And I accept your apology." She smiled at him again, eliciting another blush. Van cleared his throat, removed his suit jacket and gently wrapped it around her shoulders. "Here, cover yourself up. You might catch a cold." "Thank you," Hitomi murmered softly. When she reached up a hand to help him, their hands touched and the feeling was electrifiying. They both turned and theirs eyes met
"Hitomi, what's going on?" Van quickly jumped away from Hitomi, blushing once again. Miaka stared at them with a suspicious look. "Hitomi, do you have a boyfriend I don't know about?"
"Look, I should be going. You should get inside and put some clothes on. You might catch a cold. And don't worry about the jacket. Maybe I'll get it back later." Van nodded to Hitomi and Miaka, and made his way to his car. "Van, wait!" Hitomi called. Van turned to look at her. She couldn't believe she was saying this. She could feel her face getting warm. "Do you want to come in for awhile? I mean......I....."
"Thanks for the offer, but I have a lot of work to do."
"Oh. Well, maybe some other time then? Maybe Folken can come along too."
"Yeah........maybe." Van passed Allen who was just approaching up the walkway, got in his car and drove away. Allen stared at Van's car in confusion as it drove away. *Who was that guy?* he thought. Then he turned to Hitomi, and his eyes nearly fell out of his head. She was standing outside in nothing but a towel! And the look on her face as she stared after that guy.........Allen didn't like something about it. "Hitomi, what are you doing? You'll catch a cold out here." He took off his jacket, put it over her and led her inside. "You know you look pretty good in a towel," Allen said teasingly.
"Ha,ha. Very funny Allen. I think I'll go change now." She tossed his jacket back to him, but kept the other suit jacket she had wrapped around her shoulders tightly. Allen knew it was that guy's jacket, and he also knew that same guy gave her the flowers and candy. Miaka followed Hitomi and they both started talking excitedly. Allen watched Hitomi as she and Miaka went upstairs. He had a feeling he was going to lose Hitomi to that guy, and he couldn't lose Hitomi. Not when he's fallen in love with her.............
End of story! If you like it, you know what to do. Stay tuned for the next chapter sometime this week! ^_^(Hopefully) *Also thanks to Paige MoonSword, Lani-Anela and Tyrant Death for the nice reviews. You guys are the greatest!
