A/N: Ok here we go. I have time so I will keep writing as much as I can.

"Get out of here!" Sonoko stage whispered at Michiru.

"But..."

"No buts!" Sonoko snapped, "Go and get ready for that date! I will cover you! Plus you are not needed! Get outta here!"

"Ok, but still..."

"It's true you are not needed," Koruko shrugged, "You can go."

"Thanks!" Michiru beamed and got her things together.

"I am waiting!!!" Sonoko said impatiently.

"For what?" Michiru asked baffled.

"A 'Thanks Sonoko' would be nice." She said pouting.

"Thanks Sonoko!" Michiru said giving her friend a hug, "Love you." Then she swished out of the editor's office to rush home and get ready.

*************************************************************

"So you want to recommend a good restaurant to me?" Haruka said as she drove toward their destination.

"Um, there is this one I really love by the beach." She said slowly, "It is really nice and I love the salty air."

"You do, huh?" Haruka grinned at Michiru and Michiru blushed.

"Yeah," Michiru said, "It's a really...romantic spot." She had whispered the last two words out but Haruka read her lips.

"Ok, you convinced me." she grinned, "That is where we are going then."

*************************************************************

The restaurant was very fancy. The giant chandeliers were lit in a soft glow and music wafted through the place. Haruka offered her arm to Michiru who happily took it.

"Tell me they have more than just sea food here," she leaned toward Michiru's ear and whispered.

"Don't worry," Michiru said grinning and still enjoying the feel of Haruka's breath.

"That's good." She said and they looked for seats.

~She is acting so different~ Michiru thought ~I didn't think she be so nice and look so sexy at the same time. Wait a minute! Did I just say sexy? I am losing it~

"...Would that be ok?" Haruka's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Excuse me, what?" Michiru asked baffled.

"I said would the Italian Special be ok?" Haruka asked once again.

"Yeah," Michiru said, "I like Italian." After the waiter left Haruka reached her hand across the table and placed it on top of Michiru's.

"Why so quiet?" she asked grinning at the blushing Michiru.

"I...I don't known what to say?" Michiru mumbled, "I mean...I just..." she trailed off.

"Sonoko tells me you have known each other for a very long time." Haruka said finally.

"Yeah, she's my best friend." Michiru replied smiling, "When I was in Kindergarten, on the first day of school she made me cry so much. Then after a while she apologized and from since then we are inseparable. You have known Koruko-san a long time too, right?"

"Yeah," Haruka shrugged, "His father was my father's very good friend. We practically grew up together. But we are very different."

"How?" Michiru asked.

"Our dreams are...were different."

"Were?" Michiru smiled and asked a dangerous question, "What happened?"

"I..." Haruka saw the waiter coming and avoided the question, "Look the food is here."

"Oh, ok." Michiru noticed her change of subject but didn't say anything.

*************************************************************

The rest of their date was enjoyable. They spent it talking about here and there and Michiru realized how easy going Haruka really was.

"I had a great time Haruka-san," Michiru said. Haruka had asked her to stop the Tenou-san business so now she was on Haruka-san.

"Really?" Haruka murmured. They were standing in front of Michiru's apartments. Michiru's breath stopped as soon as she realized that Haruka's gaze was fixed on her lips. Slowly Haruka leaned down and touched her lips to Michiru's. The soft kiss turned passionate when Michiru wrapped her arms around Haruka's neck and Haruka's slid onto Michiru's slim waist. Michiru let out a soft moan as she felt Haruka's tongue caress the top of her mouth. Out of breath she pulled away.

Still in each other's arms Michiru took a trembling breath as she looked at the clouded teal eyes. Haruka tightened her grip and kissed her again. Their tongues collided in heat and passion until Haruka pulled away gasping for breath. Reluctantly she loosened her grip and Michiru let her neck go.

"I'll see you later," Haruka said grinning and Michiru smiled back. After Haruka left Michiru went up to her apartment. When she entered, Sonoko was watching TV.

"Did you have fun playing tonsil hockey?" she asked sweetly.

"Playing what?" Michiru asked still in dream land then she suddenly realized, "Oh, I..." she blushed red.

"Come on, you can tell me."

"It was only dinner." Michiru said slowly.

"Michiru you look like the cat who swallowed the canary." Sonoko rolled her eyes, "Come on, did she kiss you?"

"Yes," Michiru admitted sheepishly.

"Great!" Sonoko said, "Now I gotta run!"

"Where?"

"Jeriko invited me over," Sonoko grinned, "Said I should spend the night and help him get all the lost sleep from the past few days that he spent thinking about me." Michiru shook her head at Sonoko.

"Only one favor?" Sonoko said.

"What is it?"

"You know those weekend classes I am taking," she said sheepishly, "Could you call in and tell them I am sick? Please?"

"Um..."

"Please!"

"Ok, fine." Michiru sighed.

"Yay!" Sonoko cheered, "Love you! Don't open the door to strangers! Don't miss me too much! And if Haruka calls and invites you over, accept!" And with that she ran out. Michiru shook her head again smiling and decided to go over her date once again, thinking this was the best time she had had in ages.
