chapter 3 : Wondering
After Michiru had finally cried her last tears it was already too late to start explaining to Haruka what happened before they met eachother in the park.The smaller girl still had some troubles believing the blonde was a woman but decided to just strug it off.
Silently she followed the tomboy to the stairs until the blonde stopped in front of a closed door.'' This is my guest room , it's not much but it'll do okay ?'' Michiru just nodded. She was really thankful that the blonde was willing to help her like this. They didn't know eachother that well and still Haruka let her stay the night.
'' Thanks.'' She whispered as she opened the door.Haruka just nodded and started to walk away towards her own room. Michiru took a deep breath before she finally entered the room. Without even taking the trouble to look for the light switch she walked into the room and let herself fall on the bed. She was exhausted. Turning over to lay on her back she stared at the ceiling , when she realised there was not much to see there she closed her eyes trying to catch some sleep instead of thinking of Mark again.
She failed though because the moment she closed her eyes again the images of Mark and that other girl flashed back into her mind.How could he do this to her. She had done nothing but being loyal to him , she had done nothing but listen to his stories without ever asking something in return but now it seemed all of it never was worth it in the first place. He had taken her for granted and now she thought about it she was sure she wasn't going back to him.With that thought set in her mind she drifted off to sleep.
The next morning came way too soon for Michiru since she could feel her heart ache. Was Haruka going to bring her home today ? She wasn't sure if she was ready for it , Michiru did know she wanted to face him again sometime but not now.
A soft knock on the door shook her out of her thoughts. It was now she realised she had slept with Haruka's clothes on.'' Come in.'' She whispered as she gazed at Haruka who walked into the room.
'' Morning..'' The blonde said with a yawn.
'' Not a morning person ah ?'' Michiru asked with a smile on her face.Haruka just shook her head.'' Haruka , actually i wanted to ask you something..'' The blonde looked at the girl on the bed with a soft and calm smile letting the other know it was okay to ask.
'' Well you see , i was wondering...'' She paused for a moment. She couldn't bring herself to ask the blonde if she could stay a few more days.She had to think of something else to say and fast.'' Uhm , how can i ever repay you for helping me ?'' She said instead of what she wanted to ask in the first place.
'' Nothing really.'' Was all the blonde said.
'' Nothing ?''
'' Nope , you see it's kind of lonely being all by myself , i'm glad to have some company for once.''
'' And your friends , don't they come over ?'' Michiru was kind of surpised by the fact such a kind person as Haruka could ever feel alone.
'' It's hard making friends when the most of them are just after my money.''
Now it all hit Michiru at once.'' Now i remember where i heard your name before , Tenoh , Haruka best male racer .'' Haruka laughed bitterly at that last part.
'' Yep that's me.''
'' Why pretend to be a man when you're not ?''
'' Ever heard of a female car racer ?''
Michiru shook her head. Was that the reason why Haruka pretended to be a man ?
'' Do you want me to bring you home today ?''
'' I..'' It was now or never. She wanted to stay with the blonde. Ever since she had been together with Mark she had lost all contact with her friends simply because they didn't like him and said he would've cost nothing but trouble. How she wished she had listened to them now.
'' If you want to stay longer it's okay too.'' Haruka said as she walked into the room and sat down next to Michiru on the bed.
'' You wouldn't mind ?'' The smaller girl asked.
'' No ofcourse not , i already told you i don't mind the company but there's still one little problem.'' The blonde started earning a questioning look from the other.'' Well i'm afraid we have to go to your place to get some of your stuff. Or you could always wear my clothes but i'm afraid they really don't fit you.''
'' But..'' She paused. What if Mark would be home and saw Michiru together with Haruka who really looked like a man. Mark would not only be pissed at her but angry too.He would suspect her to have cheated on him since the beginning.
'' But ?''
'' Nothing , it is okay. We can go in the afternoon , he has to work at that time atleast if that wasn't a lie either.'' Michiru said. Coming to hink about it she couldn't care less how Mark was going to react on Haruka's presence. The truth was she wasn't cheating on him with the blonde tomboy , no it had been Mark who did the cheating and even if she would have to face him today , they were through.
'' Okay that's a date.'' Haruka joked but then her face grew serious again.'' I think you still owe me and explaination though.''
'' I guess.'' Michiru took a deep breath. If she was planning on trusting Haruka she'd better start now.'' Well i came home early yesterday.'' She paused for a moment trying to remember completely what had happened.
'' If you don't want to...'' But the blonde was cut off when Michiru continued her story.
'' I wanted to suprise him , i mean we never had much time to spend together. I thought he would like the suprise too.I had everything planned but when i reached the kitchen i could hear...'' The smaller girl felt like crying again but held her tears back as she continued.
'' I found him with another girl , in our bed. I ran away and well , the rest of the story you know.''
'' What a pig.'' Haruka stated. She would've been mad too if her fiance would sleep with another girl but then again , Haruka wasn't the one to judge. She didn't like men in the first place.
'' Do you think i should forgive him , maybe he wasn't lying , maybe he meant it when he said it didn't mean anything.'' Michiru whispered while a tear slide down her cheek.
'' No way you should forgive him , before you know it he's going to make it a habit since he will expect you to forgive him no matter what. Guys like him really don't deserve sweet girls like you.'' Michiru blushed at that last part.
'' Thanks.'' With that said she wiped away her tears.'' I'm not going to cry over him anymore.''
'' Ah i just remembered something.'' Haruka suddenly said changing the subject.'' Remember you said you wanted to pay me back for helping you ?'' The smaller girl simply nodded in reply.'' Well do you own a dress ?''
'' Ofcourse , but what does that have to do with me repaying you ?''
'' You'll see.'' The blonde smirked as she stood up from the bed heading towards the door. Michiru just sat there wondering what the blonde was up to.When she decided not to be worried about it she looked down at her hands. With sad eyes she gazed at the ring on her finger.' Damn you Mark , i hope you're happy now.' Without even thinking it through she pulled the ring off her finger and trew it on the ground.
Haruka who had just pulled the door closed behind her also closed her eyes. She had to be careful , she couldn't risk falling in love with Michiru who was without any doubt , straight. She had to be , she was engaged to a man.She could not , in anyway , she could not fall for the aqua haired goddess.
With that in her mind she opened her eyes again and started walking towards the stairs knowing it was already too late to tell herself she wouldn't fall for the smaller girl. Her heart had already decided to love Michiru ever since they met in the park.
