Chapter 7: Spilled salt

Michiru dine alone, the whereabouts of Haruka were a mystery. She had prepare Haruka's favourite salad, for a brief moment she had thought that they could have a nice dinner together, but the empty plate in front of her and the melting candles told her the truth.

She was about to pour some salt in her salad when the salter slipped her hand and rolled on the table spilling it's contents. "Great, more bad luck". She was no longer hungry, so she went off to bed early, at 15 past 2 o'clock she heard Haruka in the room next door, life was a bitch…

She woke up early in order to finish packing her stuff.

Knock, knock.

"Come in"

Haruka came in, she looked shy. "Morning Michiru"

"Morning" An awkward silence filled the room, Michiru lone to be wrapped in Haruka's arms, she wished a kiss so badly.

"Would you like me to take you to the airport?"

"Yes, I would, but…" "I got al ready a ride…thank you anyway."

Haruka seemed so fragile. "Michi, don't go, take me back, I'm really sorry."

Michiru was melting on the inside, but she had so many doubts. " Haruka, please, I need some time"

"I know, but I want you to know that I'll use this time just to think how much I love you"

"Please…"Haruka came closer to her and touch her hair, then with her finger tips lifted Michiru's face and lean down to kiss her. The kiss was warm and gentle, Michiru enjoyed it; deep down love was still bonding them together. The kiss ended too soon for Michiru, Haruka didn't want to push her luck.

Now all the fights and the doubts seem unimportant, Michiru wanted to get swayed by the moment, unfortunately Haruka stepped back.

"I…I must go now"

"Call me as soon as you get there"

"Ok"

"Let me help you with your bags."

Haruka was going downstairs when the doorbell rang, right in the entrance hall Myko was waiting, Haruka almost drop the bags.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ah, where are your manners Ruka? Is Michiru ready?

Michiru came down stairs in that precise moment. "Good Morning Myko"

"Darling!" Myko kissed Michiru's cheek like an old time friend. Shishi was so amazed that she was still at the door with her mouth fully opened. Haruka was completely clueless. "We should get going, bring Michi luggage would you?"

Haruka looked at Michiru waiting for an explanation, which of course Michiru lacked of. "Me and my great ideas" Michiru kissed Haruka briefly in the cheek and get inside the car. Haruka placed Michiru's stuff in the trunk and step in front of the house.

Myko get inside her car and turn her head to face Haruka, and then Haruka could read in her lips a few words: 'You're so screwed' before they drive away.

Haruka was very sad, minutes ago she felt that maybe things were going to improve, but Myko's presence took her out of balance, "What are they up to? What should I make to bring you back love?"
