Disclaimer: I do not own Haruka and Michiru but I do own this marvellous story!
Anyway thanks for your reviews. The following chapter is jumping between locations so watch out, remember Michiru is in London and Haruka is in Tokyo
Ah, sorry that I updated till now, but my computer committed a suicide attempt and I was holding her hand in intensive care, we are ok now (so it seems)

Chapter 8: Thunder storm
Haruka went to the tracks to get some work done on her engine, last race she felt the car a little unstable, as soon as she got to the tracks people were staring at her, by now the word about her fight with Michiru was everywhere. At list nobody knew about the affair thing.
"Hi"
"Oh, hi Thomas"
"You look awful, are you still in the dog house?"
"Yes"
"So tell me what happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it"
"Well, whatever it was must have been huge; I have never seen Michiru upset. I'm always telling Kiki she should be more like her."
Haruka wasn't discussing her love life here, where everyone could her them. "Yep, pass me that wrench"
"Here, oh boy, look who's coming over here, that Tundra is such a hottie."
Tundra was coming at them looking great in a pair of tight jeans and a little pink top, her long red hair falling at her back like a fire cascade. She looked much more like a model than a racer. All the mechanics and racers turn their heads to see her pass.
"Hello Haruka"
"Tundra" Tundra completely ignored Thomas.
"Hi, I'm Thomas…" 'The thunder' looked at him briefly.
"Yeah, could you please leave us alone? I need to speak to Haruka … in private."
"Sure"
"I bet he's going gossiping about this" "What do you want?"
"Are you still mad at me?" Tundra displayed all her skills around Haruka, she was intoxicating, but Haruka wasn't falling again.
"No"
"You are, I'm sorry I got you into trouble with the Mrs."
"Whatever" Tundra was not easy to ignore, her perfume surrounded Haruka , tundra leaned over the car hood and Haruka had a very proximate view of her breasts and her flat abdomen.
"Come on, you cannot stay mad at me forever". She gently touched Haruka's face wiping grease off her cheek. Haruka was not playing anymore, everyone around was looking at them.
"You know what? I don't want to talk to you anymore, what happened between us was a mistake"
"You didn't seem unhappy then, I'm really sorry about the cufflink thing, I was upset cause you run away the other day, that was very rude."
"Fine, whatever just …just stay away from me."
Tundra was playing with Haruka's tools, she didn't seem to be paying attention to her warnings. Haruka grabbed the key she was playing with . "Go now"
"Uh, I like when you're though, that turns me on"
"Stop it Tundra, I'm serious"
"I like you…and I know you like me too, I can read the lust in your eyes"
"That doesn't matter, I'm engaged"
"I'm not jealous…"
Tundra get dangerously close to Haruka she could feel her warm breath all over her. "No, go home"
"No, I came here to told you I spoke with Hanzo"
"Hanzo my sponsor?"
"Our sponsor, and he thinks it's a very good idea for you to escort me to the presentation of their new car"
"I'm not going"
"You are now, there's nothing you can do about, perhaps we can have a really fun time after the party…just the two of us. Don't make that face, anyone here would kill to be in your position….pick me up at 8, you know where I live"
Tundra walk away and everyone who were spying pretend to go back to work. Before exiting the garage Tundra turn around and send Haruka a kiss. Thomas came by a minute later.
"Man, no wonder Michiru is pissed, you got 'the thunder' on the sack! You're my idol."
"Shut up, there's nothing between us"
"Right"
"It's true"
"Whatever, but let me warn you: if you bring her to the presentation everyone is going to know, and I mean everyone."
"Leave me alone"
"Ok, don't get upset"
---------o---------------o-------------
"Hanzo I'm not taking her … I'm engaged"
"Come on Tenoh, it would be a great publicity stunt, besides Michiru is in London"
"That's no excuse"
"I'm seriously recommending you to take her, unless you don't like our sponsorship…"
"That's blackmail"
"Call it whatever you want…"
"Fine I'm taking her, but it's the first and the last time"
-----------o------------o-------------
Michiru was sitting next to the window in her hotel room watching the storm outside, she felt so homesick; she had never been alone in another country, so far from home, so far from love.
She had just called back home, she wanted to hear Haruka's voice but Shishi told her Haruka was out. "Where are you love?" Someone knocked at her door.
"Who is it?"
"Flowers for Miss Michiru Kaioh"
"She send me flowers!" She opened the door and let the bellboy place on a table a magnificent Lilly bouquet. The bellboy left and she stared hopeful looking at the flowers "You miss me, I do to" She open the card to see the message:
'Wishing you the best of
lucks in your concert'
Iñaki
Michiru stand in there puzzled, she was so disappointed. "Why is him sending me flowers? and Why Haruka isn't?" She felt an urge to cry again but she keep herself together.
A few moments later the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Phone call for Miss Kaioh from Mr Kiyama"
"Thank you, I'll take it"
"Michiru?"
"Hi…er, thanks for the flowers" This was awkward, "why are you calling me?"
"It's nothing , I found out you were I London offering a concert and that you were….well…alone, so I figure out flowers might cheer you up"
"You shouldn't have"
"It's ok, hey I was wondering if you have any plans for dinner"
"Tonight? Where are you?"
"I'm in London for business…. You didn't think I was stocking you or something, did you?"
Michiru laughed obviously being so suspicious she had thought that, but that was silly. "Of course not, I was surprised that's all"
"So what do you say, would you join me for dinner?"
"Sure why not?"
(I smell trouble; wanna know what happened at the party? Well you know the magic word… Reviews")
