Chapter 8: Wonderful Nights
Elena and Tsume held each other and finally kissed.
"Well I should go and let you take a shower." Elena said.
"No, come with me."
"Maybe later." She kissed him and walked into her room.
Meanwhile Chichi was watching threw her, now cracked, door. Tsume turned around and open the door to the bathroom when he heard a door slam. Not long after that Tsume was in the shower when he heard the bathroom door gentle open.
"Who's there?" No one said anything. He then washed the soap off his face. When he went to pull back the shower curtain, a hand grabbed the curtain.
"What the hell?" he said.
"It's me." Elena said as she got into the shower. "I changed my mind."
Tsume smiled and walked over to Elena and kissed her and she giggled.
"Your mind's in the gutter, again." She said.
"It's that a bad thing?"
"No." They began to make-out. Tsume put his hands on her hips and pushed her against
the wall. He then pressed himself on her.
"Wait, Tsume. This wall is hurting me." Elena said. "Come with me." She turned off the water, open the door, look to see if anyone was coming, took Tsume's hands, and the went into Elena's bedroom. She then sat on the bed and Tsume began to kiss her. After the wonderful time of intimacy, Elena laid staring at Tsume.
"What?"
"Nothing." She then kissed him and laid her head his chest chest. She began to rub he hand over his X shaped scare.
"How did that happen?"
"It happen when I was exiled from my pack."
"Oh, why were you exiled?"
"Apparently, not everyone loves my bright and shinny personality."
Elena laughed, then begun to kiss him as she rolled over on top of him.. "Well you know what?"
"What?"
"I love your personality."
The next morning at 7:50 Chichi was banging on the door.
"Sissy, get up we are going to be late!"
"What! You haven't left yet!"
"No, youre still in bed!" Chichi went to open the door, but Hige grabbed the door and closed it.
"Sorry, it's my fault. I'm going to take you to school today."
"Why? Why isn't Elena going to work today?"
"I am, I'm going in late, today!"
"Fine!" Chichi stomped away.
Hige ran after her and caught up with her in the garage. "Chichi, what is wrong?"
"Nothing." Chichi got into the car and slammed the door.
Hige got in without saying a word. He turned on the car and began to drive toward the school. On the way he came up to a red light and stopped. He began to stare at Chichi, who was staring out of the window.
Without turning around Chichi asked. "What do you want?"
"What are you mad at?"
"I'm not mad."
"Yes you are." By this time they arrived at the school.
Chichi didn't say a word. She got out and slammed the door.
That day Elena was set up at the park for the party. She was at one of the tabled setting up the center piece when Lin came around. "What's wrong, Elena? You look distracted."
"It's Chichi. I think she is mad at me but I don't know why."
"Oh. Maybe she's jealous."
"What? What makes you think that?"
"Well in the car I noticed that when we started talking about Tsume she got quiet. Also didn't you say on the phone that at the fair she wasn't paying much attention to Toboe and keeping you and Tsume away from each other?"
"So do you think she's jealous of Tsume.""Well I'm not to sure but it seems like it to me."
"Do you think I should cancel my plans tonight and talk to her?"
"No, I think this is a phase. I say just let her go threw this, but if she gets worse then would ask Tsume to talk to her; tell her that he doesn't want to push her out of your life. She's a good kid and she knows you love her. It's always been just you, her, and Hige it will take time for her to get use to him, but when she does she will see you will do anything for her."
"I hope your right. I don't want to do anything to hurt her."
"I know you don't, but she's still a kid. She will understand sooner or later that he isn't trying to push her out of your life. Everything will be ok."
Elena began to cry. "I can't believe I've made her feel as if I'm pushing her away."
Lin hugged her and said. "I'm not sure that, that is what's wrong. I'm just saying it seem like to me that it is. It will be ok."
That afternoon, Chichi was already home when Elena got there. Chichi and Toboe were sitting on the couch watching T.V.. Elena walked over to Chichi hugged then kiss her. "I'm sorry,Chichi. You do know I love you?"
"Yes, I know you love me."
"You do know that no one on this planet could ever take you place or ever push you out of my life, right?"
"Yes. Sissy, is everything ok?"
Elena smiled and hugged her again. "Yes everything is just fine. Want to come with me to get my, or maybe your hair, and make-up done?"
"Sure."
At the sallon Chichi looked at Elena and asked. "Do you love Tsume?"
"Yes with all my heart, but not as much as I love you."
Chichi smiled. "Hope you have fun tonight."
"Thank you."
Chichi began to flip threw a magazine. "I just wish you were in love with someone else." she said to herself.
"What?"
"Nothing."
That night at the party Tsume kept staring at her.
"What?"
"You look so beautiful."
"Thank you." She then kissed him on the cheek.
"So when are you going to show me what inspired you?"
Elena looked around and walked up to Lin. "Lin what time is it?"
"8:00"
Elena turned around and looked at Tsume and smiled. "In two hours."
Tsume smiled. "Well I guess only thing to do is dance."
"I guess so."
They danced, ate, and Elena introduced Tsume to everyone at the party. Later that night as Tsume and Elena were talking to treasure, Lin walked up and told Elena. "It's 10:30."
"Ok thank you, Lin." Elena put down her wine glass and grabbed Tsume. "Excuse us Lin, Minda."
They began to walk away from the party. "Close your eyes and no peaking."
Tsume closed his eyes and when he open then he saw a pond. The big, bright moon was reflecting off the water making it sparkle as if it was filled with billions of diamonds. Along the shores of the pond were white flowers that seemed to look like lunar flowers. Everything was so beautiful it looked like something from a gorgeous painting that you will find in a museum.
"Wow." Tsume said. "Are those lunar flowers?"
"No, but they look like them don't they?"
Tsume stood there staring at the beautiful pond.Elena rapped her arms around his waist. "It sounds stupid, but the first time I was here I was at a bonfire. I had a hamburger in my hands and Lin and I were walking around when we stummbled acroos this place. As I ate that nasty hamburger and stared at this beautiful pond, it hit me, I should become a cook. See told you it was stupid."
"No, I think it's sweet."
She looked in his eyes and smiled. "Thank you." She then kisssed him. "Tsume, can I tell you something?"
"Anything."
"I love you."
Tsume smiled and kissed her. "I love you, too."
