Unfaithful
Chapter 5: Bad gone worst
Sun light wounded Michiru's eyes, another night in an empty bed had just passed, she was feeling very depressed, she spend must of the day floating on the pool, with the growing desire to be drowned.
Haruka wasn't home, she had been sleeping in the room next to the one they used to share, but they really hadn't spoke to each other in days, today they were supposed to attend Kay's birthday party, the last thing Michiru wanted to do was parading around pretending everything was alright but she was going to go, they were going to attend the party. "I want no gossips, especially because I don't even know if we are splitting up or not"
Later on Michiru was staring herself at the mirror, she had decided to wear a very revealing silver dress Haruka had bought her, she hadn't wear it before because she thought it was to sexy but today she was determined to be bold. "If Haruka likes femme fatales I'm becoming one" She put on some make up, (a lot to cover the rings under her eyes) and the result was excellent she looked very sexy.
Haruka knocked her door at 10 past 8 o clock.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Just a second" Michiru watched herself in the mirror one last time to encourage herself, she was feeling a little bit nude on that dress, but it was late to regret it, she finally stand up and open the door to face Haruka.
Haruka was surprised to see Michiru in the tiny dress, but she had the good sense to stay silent.
"How do I look?"
"Beautiful as always"
"As always? Great so I'm freezing my ass just to look the same." Michiru say nothing, Haruka realize she had said something wrong, she just couldn't figure out what.
They arrived to the party, their friends were already there, Kay opened the door.
"Michiru, Haruka, so good to see you"
"Thanks Kay"
"You look very pretty tonight"
"Thank you Michi, lend me your coat"
Michiru sighted, her boldness was running out, she unbuttoned the coat to reveal her outfit. Kay was surprised. "Wow, what's the occasion?"
Michiru smiled. "I'll tell you later" Kay smiled back and went to place the coats.
"What did you meant by that?" Haruka was curious; she didn't like at all the secrecy tone. "For whom you got dressed up?"
"I didn't mean anything, I'll go see the girls, we would leave at midnight ok?"
"You sound like we are not talking to each other all night"
"If possible…" Michiru hated Haruka jealousy, especially now. "How can she be so cynical?" "I'll see you later"
Haruka was angry and jealous, was Michiru going to get even at her? Haruka was mad, she passed the next hours figuring out if Michiru's words were hiding secret intentions, she wasn't drunk but she was having a little too much to drink.
"Michiru, you look fabulous"
"It's nothing, what were you girls giggling about when I came in?"
"Oh dear we were talking about Iñaki Kiyama, he's here for the race next month, he's gorgeous!" Monique was married to Will, Thomas brother, Kiki's husband.
"If I wasn't sooo married…" Kiki wondered
"And sooo pregnant!" Monique laugh, Michiru was surprised by this.
"You're pregnant Kiki?"
"Yes I found out yesterday and I was going to tell you but obviously Monique ruined my surprise"
Suddenly Michiru was in no mood for a party, she wasn't exactly planning to get pregnant soon but she had thought the possibility, she had had so many plans for their lives together. "Congratulations"
"Hey, this is my party…I'm joking, I cannot wait to plan the Baby shower, and Michiru's bridal shower also"
Michiru's face was a poem; she was trying hard not to burst into tears here.
"Michi are you ok?"
"Ah? Yes, yes I was just daydreaming."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm a little dizzy, too much wine." "Liar, liar, why I cannot tell them, they are my friends."
"Maybe Michiru is also …."
"Michiru are you pregnant?"
Michiru choked in surprise, how about jumping to conclusions. "No! I mean …. No of course not"
"It's a shame, imagine our children getting married and we all being a family"
Michiru needed some air, she had to escape this conversation, she felt that her dreams were ashes now, and the least she wanted to plan was a wedding for the child she was not having. "I….I need some fresh air, I'll see you later ok?"
Michiru rushed to the garden not minding that outside was freezing, winter was right at the corner.
"What's with her? She's being weird lately"
"It's probably she's overwhelm by the wedding"
"No, I think…I think she and Haruka had a fight"
"Kay, you're insane they are by far the most stable couple I ever met"
"Yes, that's impossible"
"No, I think that's what's happening, have you notice they hadn't spoke all night, Haruka didn't come to greet us or to bring Michiru her glass of wine, something's going on"
"I hope you're mistaken"
"Yeah, so do I"
Michiru sat down in a bench near a fountain; she was looking at the stars, trying to read a sign, silent tears run down her cheeks. Then she heard a voice next to her.
"Aren't you cold?"
Michiru look to the place the voice was coming out, a handsome tall black haired man come closer. "A bit"
"Are you ok?"
"No"
"So it seems, here, have my jacket." The man put his jacket on Michiru's bare arms, Michiru smiled at him.
"Thank you"
"Why are you crying? Love problems?"
"Yes" "why I'm telling my problems to this person, I don't even know him"
"Been there, by the way I'm, Iñaki"
"Michiru, Michiru Kaioh"
"You're Tenoh's girlfriend aren't you?"
"Yes"
"Don't cry, sometimes love hurts but mostly is beautiful"
Michiru wipe her tears. "Oh I'm such a creep, crying like a baby in front of you, what you must think of me…"
"Don't be silly I understand, but look on the bright side, take my example, I don't even got a place to live and I'm partying."
"You're girlfriend kick you out?"
Iñaki smiled "My partner kick me out" ( aha he's gay! And here you where thinking I was about to use the most famous cliché …)
Michiru smiled, she understood what that meant.
"You're not telling your friends are you?"
"No, I know how racers tend to be… very macho style and all"
"Yeah…specially you're boyfriend" Michiru laughed softly. "What's so funny?"
"Well you see, Haruka is my…partner too"
"No way!"
"Oh yes, she doesn't hide it, but at plain sight is hard to notice."
"What the hell's going o here?" Michiru heard Haruka's voice a few steps from the place she was chatting with Iñaki. She get closed to them looking angry. Michiru didn't loose her coolness.
"Iñaki, I think you already met Haruka"
Iñaki smiled and attempted to shake hands with her, but all he received was a dirty look.
"Lets get inside Michiru…now"
Michiru rolled her eyes , she slipped Inaki's jacket and give it back to him. "Thanks"
"Anytime" Haruka grabbed Michiru's arm and dragged her back to the house.
"Haruka, what's wrong with you?"
"What were you doing outside with him?"
Michiru was offended and very very angry. "Don't you dare…"
"What? What else do you want me think? First that 'dress' and now this!"
"You gave me this dress!"
"Not for you to hook up with some idiot!" Michiru exploded, she slapped Haruka , suddenly the people around them got silent, everyone was looking at them.
"Go get the freaking car"
Haruka was loosing it, she ran to the door and passed near Kay,
"Are you leaving so soon?" Haruka didn't answer, Kay was puzzled , she spotted Michiru grabbing her coat. "What's wrong?"
Michiru was about to burst into tears but made an attempt to smile. "I'm sorry but we must leave now"
"Did you fight?"
"Kay…"
"It's ok, just let me give you an advise: don't let her see you cry. Ok?" Michiru nodded. "And I also want you to know that this is your house. Anytime." Kay was sometimes wise, Michiru nodded once more.
Haruka appeared ,"Lets go, Kay thanks for everything"
"Sure"
"Bye Kay"
"Bye" The couple walked to the front door, Michiru looked very sad. "Michiru…" Michiru turned her head to look at Kay. "I mean it…anytime".
Michiru smiled sadly and continue walking, Haruka opened the car door for her.
"Get inside, unless you haven't say good bye to your new fan" Her words were hurtfully sarcastic and upset Michiru again.
"You know what? I think I rather walk"
"Get inside the car"
"No" Haruka pulled her arm and Michiru fighter her back. "Leave me alone!"
Screaming in the middle of the street right outside the party was definitely not the best was to be low profile. "Get in the car, people are staring at us"
"No, I'll walk"
"Our house is 50 blocks from here!"
"I'm sleeping over at Setsuna's" Haruka clenched her fists, her patience was running out.
"Michiru get in the car….I'll drive you to Setsuna's, but get inside the car"
Michiru saw that there was actually people staring at them. "Fine"
Haruka slammed the car door and get inside too, she sped the car , 5 minutes later they were in front of Setsuna's apartment.
"Lets go home Michiru….please"
"No, thanks" Michiru stepped down the car and walked inside the building without looking back, Haruka started the car and speed up like a maniac.
"Oh god, what happened?"
Michiru was already crying . "Can…can I stay over tonight?"
"Of course come in"
Haruka came home and smashed the front door, she climbed up the stairs ands enter the room, she leaned on the bed, looking the ceiling crying like a child. "Why? Why I'm so stupid?
Finally she got asleep all alone, once more.
