'I know it's wrong.' Haruka sighed as she turned away from Michiru to get dressed. She smelled so good, some kind of vanilla perhaps. Her body, not only was it beautiful, but it was soft and comfortable. She sighed once more before going out of her room to find Kaida.
After exploring the house, she finally found her, in her office, looking at house listings with Aiko. "Hey dad." They both looked up at her. "Can I talk to you?" She glanced at Aiko before giving her father a look that said it had to be alone.
"Sure." Kaida patted Aiko's behind to shoo her off. "What is it dear?"
Haruka watched Aiko close the door, then she sat on the edge of the desk. "What do you do when you think you're in love?"
"Oh boy." Kaida smiled and turned off the computer monitor to focus on her daughter. "Do you know how she feels? Has she given you any clues of being interested?"
She shook her head then looked at the floor. "She used to hate me. I've known her for several years. And now that I come to really think about it, I think I've had an interest in her for a while."
Kaida couldn't help but to smile again. "Maybe if you try to flirt with her, to see how she reacts."
"I have flirted. All she did was giggle and let me. But I don't know if she's interested. Should I like...try to kiss her?" Haruka blushed at the thought of kissing her own step-sister.
Kaida let out a laugh. "If you're brave enough, be my guest. Otherwise, this may sound girly, but write her a letter. If she's not interested, at least you won't have to deal with face-to-face rejection."
"That's a good idea dad, thank you." Haruka hugged her before going up to her room.
The entire time, the words were running through her mind. 'Do I come right out and say I love her...Maybe if I just beat around the bush she'll catch on.' She grabbed her notebook and a pencil before heading outside to sit on the porch swing and write the letter.
