Chapter 15
New beginnings
_________ Ok, ok, I'm sorry if I wrote too much about Jin and Julia and because of that, I will make this chapter a special Miharu/Steve, ok? I will just ask you to be patient with me... I'm new in this kind of things, alright? *****_________________
"Xiaoyu? Can I speak with you for a minute?" Miharu asked entering into Xiaoyu's silent room.
"Of course you can, come on, sit down and tell me what's bugging you!"
"Hum..." Miharu took a deep sigh. "I am... I think I am falling for Steve Fox."
"Steve... What!? You mean Steve? As in Steve? Our Steve Fox?" Xiaoyu asked getting up from her chair and starting to walk around the room. Miharu nodded slowly. "But... He just broke up with Christie..."
"I know... That's why I'm feeling guilty..."
"Guilty? What do you mean, guilty?" Xiaoyu asked stoping and looking straight into Miharu's brown eyes that avoided Xiaoyu's gaze.
"You see... He asked me to go on a date with him... And I accepted it." Miharu explained looking at the floor and starting to blush.
"Are you insane?! What will Christie think about this?!" Xiaoyu asked loudly.
"Sheesh... Keep it down! I know it's hard for Christie but she has to understand that they broke up! She has to move on, like Steve did!" Miharu whispered.
"I know, but it's too soon... She loved him... Look, I'm not telling Christie about you two, but I will ask you to be careful. I don't want to see Christie hurt, ok?" Xiaoyu asked putting her hands on Miharu's shoulder. "When is it going to be? The date, I mean."
"Tonight!"
******
"Hi!" Miharu grinned when she saw Steve approaching her. He smiled to the innocent girl in front of him.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Yes! Where are you taking me?" Miharu wandered nervously. She felt that she didn't know Steve that much, but she could trust him... If Xiaoyu and her other friends trust him there was no reason for her to not trust him. And that made her feel more cofident.
"It's a surprise! You'll have to trust me!" Steve said like he was reading her mind. She smiled again and he took her hand. They walked for about ten minutes in silence, she was starting to get impatient with it, but she said nothing and felt the warm hand of Steve. They stopped in front of a restaurant.
""The golden fork"??" Miharu couldn't believe in her eyes. "But that's a very expensive restaurant!"
"And it's one of the bests I know! Don't worry, come on!" They entered. She looked around. The leather chairs, the glass tables, the nice waiters, the silver cutlery, the white porcelane plates, the soft brown carpet on the floor iluminated her eyes as they walked to their table.
"Steve... I don't know what to say..."
"Well... You could start by chosing what you want to eat!" He said making her giggle timidly.
*****
They left the restaurant and started walking towards the funfair.
"I heard that the Haunted House is reaaaally scary!" Miharu laughed walking faster.
"I'm here to protect you!" He said buying the tickets at the entrance of the funfair. She turned her attention at him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Come on!"
"What about the rollercoaster first?" Steve asked looking around the park. She watched the gigantic rollercoaster and shivered.
"Sounds... fun! Let's go!" She said grabbing his hand and pulling him to the queue.
After the rollercoaster...
"That was fun!" Steve said smiling.
"Yeah... It sure was! I almost brought up all the dinner!" Miharu giggled happyly. "Let's go to the Splash Boats!"
After the Splash Boats, the Haunted House, the Flying Turns, the Maze, the Karts and finally, after the Virginia Reel they sit on a bench of the garden to rest a bit and eat some ice-cream.
"Steve... I want to thank you for this wonderful night I'm having... Really!" Miharu said looking deeply into his blue eyes.
"You don't have to thank me... I'm having a great time with you either!" Steve said. She looked away. "Is something wrong?"
"No! It's just... I'm not used to have so much fun!" She explained. "I had some problems during my childhood... That's why this night means so much to me."
"I'm here to help you in whatever you need." Steve said softly.
"There's another thing though..." Miharu thought about Christie. She couldn't... "It's Christie..."
"Ah, no, please... Forget about Christie... Even if just for this night ok?" Steve didn't want to think about Christie. It made him feel unconfortable next to Miharu. A soft cold breeze blew making her hair wave a little.
"Ok... It's just that-
But she was interrupted by a tender kiss on her lips.
