Chapter eight:

Red Roses and an Interview

After Alexx and Michiru were done with doing the dishes they both decided to sit down in the small livingroom to think of some more questions to ask the blonde teacher. The aqua haired girl was rather amazed by the fact Alexx was such a nice person. After all it was hard to imagine someone could stay so sweet and caring while they have been living in the same room as a person like Nao for over three years.

'' Alexx , can I ask you a question ?'' Michiru decided to ask after 15 minutes of thinking of questions to ask. The black haired girl just nodded letting Michiru know she could ask her question. ''What did Nao do to you?''

The black haired girl shivered at hearing the blonde's name. She really didn't want to discuss the matter since Nao seemed to have some kind of interest in Michiru. If she would tell the aqua haired girl she was sure Michiru would say something about it to Nao and Alexx didn't want to know what would or could happen after that. ''I'd rather not discuss that now. I'll tell you when you are about to find out the whole truth.''

'' The whole truth ?'' Michiru asked not really understanding what the other had meant with those words.

'' Forget I said that.'' Alexx said with a frown on her face before standing up. ''I have to go now. If Nao wakes up and finds you talking to me you could end up just like me. Or worse.''

'' What do you mean with that ?'' The aqua haired girl asked standing up as well to follow the black haired girl. Sure she knew Alexx and Nao didn't like eachother but it seemed like Alexx really was afraid for Nao's actions. What had Nao ever done to her to scare her so much? Michiru was bound to find out.

'' Hated...'' Was all Alexx said before dissapearing into the shower leaving Michiru behind. The same moment Nao walked through the door that was across the bathroom giving Michiru a suspicious glare.

With that Nao stopped looking at Michiru and without saying anything she headed for the kitchen. It was obvious she was pleased with the fact it was cleaned again. Michiru wondered if Nao would be so pleased too when she would find out Alexx hadn't cleaned up the mess by herself but had a little help with it.

'' So...'' Nao started after she got some milk out of the refrigerator. ''What did you and Alexx talk about ah?'' Michiru shook her head not really believing Nao dared to ask such a question. It was obvious Nao had overheard them or else she wouldn't be asking something like that. On the other hand the tone in Nao's voice didn't show any anger or hate. Actually it seemed as if Nao was pleased.

'' You damn well know what we talked about.'' Michiru hissed not liking it that Nao was playing innocent with her. For a second she could see a hint of anger in the eyes of the blonde but it had dissapeared the same second again so Michiru couldn't be sure of what she had seen.

'' No I don't.'' Nao lied. ''But please enlighten me with the things you assume I should have heard.''

Michiru tried hard to fight the urge to walk over to Nao and throw the milk the blonde was holding in her stubborn looking face. Then she calmed down again. Knowing Nao this was exactly what she wanted , it was best to stay calm and pretend she didn't care. With that Michiru picked up the piece of paper which was full of the questions she and Alexx had made up and started walking towards the door. ''I have to go now. You know some people do care about grades and school.'' And with that said she opened the front door and walked away feeling proud of herself all of a sudden.

After she left her room Michiru had spent the whole morning and afternoon looking for Haruka who ofcourse was nowhere to be found. She scolded herself for her bad luck while heading for the cafeteria forgetting it was sunday today which meant it would be closed. Just when she was about to push the door of the cafeteria open she heard someone call her name causing her to let go of the door handle and to turn around.

A few seconds ago she was sure she would curse fate for giving her such a bad day but all her negative thoughts just faded when she saw the blonde tomboy stand in front of her. Maybe she had acted too soon with cursing this day. ''Miss Tenoh..'' Michiru greeted her blonde teacher with a polite smile.

'' Just call me Haruka.'' The blonde said with a wink. ''Or else i'd feel old, besides we aren't in class now , no need to be formal.'' Michiru's smile grew even wider. It seemed Haruka was in a good mood too.

'' Alright , Haruka it is.'' She said blushing slightly. Why was she feeling nervous all of a sudden ?

'' Ah the reason why I called out your name was to tell you the cafeteria isn't open on sundays.'' The tomboy explained although Michiru wasn't even listening to what the blonde was saying. All she could do was look at the tomboy feeling warm and nervous. '' Are you alright ?'' Haruka asked shaking Michiru softly. ''You are looking rather...'' Haruka stopped when Michiru shook her head quickly trying to change the subject. She knew she was turning red and the worst thing was, she didn't even know why. She couldn't be in love with Haruka could she? After all Haruka was not only female but she didn't even know the blonde.

'' Uhm...'' Michiru started not knowing how she could ask the blonde if she had some time for her to interview Haruka. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. She must've looked really stupid in Haruka's eyes.

Haruka just gave the aqua haired girl a questioning look trying hard to fight the urge to flirt with the younger girl. '' Uhm...'' Michiru tried again deciding it would be time she was finally going to ask her question before Haruka would walk away again. Why was this so hard? After all she hadn't showed any fear towards Nao, why would asking a teacher some simple questions be hard?

'' I was wondering...If you had some time for me...to...'' The smaller girl stammered looking down at the piece of paper in her hands. ''I was wondering if you had some time to answer some questions for an interview I have to do for...art..class.'' She took a deep breath feeling relieved she finally finished her sentence. When she didn't get a reply Michiru looked up at the blonde who seemed to be fighting the urge to break down into laughter.

After a couple more seconds the blonde had finally regained her posture and nodded. ''I always have time for pretty girls like you.'' The tomboy said pointing at a bench that stood not far away from where they were standing. Michiru blushed at the comment of the blonde before following her teacher to the bench and sat down.

''Don't worry, I've only got 15 questions to ask, after that I won't bother you again.'' Michiru said looking down at the piece of paper on which her questions were written. Did Haruka mean it when she said Michiru was pretty?'Concentrate...Ask her the damn questions...she's hot...and female shut the fuck up...maybe I should ask her...no just stick to the questions!' The smaller girl was having a hard time fighting the voices in her head which all were screaming out different things.

'' Question number one , Why did you decide to become a teacher ?''

Haruka thought about it for a moment. ''Because I'm helping out a friend who asked me to take over for her since she couldn't find another vict...uhm person to replace her.'' Michiru smiled at that and started writing down the answer.

'' Number two , What is your status , I mean have you got a boyfriend , married ?''

'' Nope...'' Haruka answered. She wasn't sure but she could've sworn that after she had given her answer Michiru said something that sounded like; Girlfriend ? But she decided to strug it off. She couldn't have heard it right.

'' Question number three , What would be the perfect setting for a first date ?''

'Depends on where you want to go.' Haruka thought to herself but ofcourse she wasn't going to say that. ''Somewhere romantic.''

Michiru nodded at that before writing down the answer. Haruka wasn't giving her much details. ''Question number four , How do you feel about a kiss on the first date?'' Michiru kept looking at the piece of paper on which she wrote down the answers to her questions. But when she didn't recieve an answer she finally looked up at the blonde tomboy who was staring back at her with those deep and green eyes.

'' Who said anything about needing a first date ?'' Haruka asked before she cupped Michiru's chin and brought her face up. Their lips were almost touching now but it seemed something was stopping Haruka from kissing the smaller girl.

The blonde kept looking into Michiru's blue eyes waiting for the younger girl to pull back. Much to her suprise it never happened and when she didn't do as she had planned suddenly Michiru made the first move and pressed their lips together. At first the kiss was nervous but sweet at the same time. Both of them didn't know what was hitting them but neither of them wanted to stop. The feeling that washed over them was simply too much, it felt so right but so wrong at the same time.

The kiss stayed innocent because before they could give in to the passion they were feeling Michiru pulled back. She didn't dare to look up at Haruka. What had she done? She had not only kissed a woman, but also her teacher. Relationships like that were forbidden.

'' Uhm...Q-question number...five...'' Michiru whispered softly hoping Haruka wouldn't notice she didn't felt confortable anymore. Actually she was afraid now. A few minutes ago when their lips had met in a kiss she was so sure that was what she wanted, what she needed. Now she felt like she had done something she shouldn't have done. Like a little child who stole cookies while knowing you could get punished for eating them but it felt so right at that time you can't help it but feel attracted to those cookies. You want to eat them. That was exactly how Michiru felt now. She had wanted to kiss Haruka so badly but now she had done it she knew she had to fear the consequences.

'' What would your last words be ?'' She asked still not looking at the blonde she had just kissed a few moments ago. She knew Haruka would probably be really mad at her now.

Haruka just looked down at the smaller girl with a sad smile on her face. She knew Michiru was having a hard time and it was all Haruka's fault in the first place. She shouldn't have pushed Michiru into kissing her. After all it was her who had brought this on them by not answering the smaller girl with a simple answer but by trying to kiss her.

'' My last words would be something like :Don't make such a scence , we'll all die someday.'' Haruka finally answered obviously pleased with the fact Michiru giggled at her comment.

Michiru finished her interview quickly after that and returned to the dorms again feeling rather confused but at the same time it felt like she was bouncing around from cloud to cloud. She wasn't going to deny the fact she liked Haruka and had enjoyed this kiss but...

She was shaken out of her thoughts by Nao who opened the door before Michiru even got the chance to get her keys out of her purse. ''Oh my god!'' Nao yelled while hugging Michiru. Something was obviously wrong here.

With that Nao pulled Michiru inside of the livingroom which was filled with roses. ''Who...what...how?'' Was all Michiru could ask. Their whole livingroom was filled with all different colored roses. Red, white, pink and even blue ones.

'' I know isn't this freakin romantic ?'' Nao asked looking at the roses with dreamy eyes. ''These arrived for you just after you left this morning...''

'' For...me ?'' Michiru asked. Who would send her so many roses?

Nao just nodded. ''It took me and Alexx the whole morning to...''

'' Who send these ?'' The aqua haired girl interrupted the blonde not really caring about what Nao wanted to say.

'' Oh right...'' Nao said as she walked into the kitchen to get something from the counter. A few seconds later she came back with a small card in her hand. ''Here I'll read it to you. Oh my, you are going to love this!''

Rolling her eyes Michiru pulled the card out of the blonde's hands and read it over. When she heard the roses were for her she somehow had hoped they would be from Haruka but when she read the name of the sender she suddenly felt sick to her stomach. These roses were send by the man she was engaged to. But this simply didn't make any sence. Why would he send her roses now?

'' You look pale...'' Nao said looking at her friend with a concerned look on her face. She had thought Michiru would be excited about this, after all why wouldn't she be? No one had ever done something so romantic for her.

'' I'm fine...'' Michiru muttered dropping the card as she started walking towards her shared bedroom. ''I'm just tired okay...Oh and about those roses. You can have them or else burn them or something...'' Was all she said before she dissapeared into the bedroom leaving a very confused Nao behind.
