Chapter 4 : Jealousy

When Michiru finally got downstairs it was already past twelve in the afternoon she had taken a shower and much to her suprise she actually didn't think of Mark the whole time. Finally she had forgotten all about him , well until she got downstairs and remembered she had agreed with Haruka to get her stuff. Oh she hoped Mark wasn't home.

'' Ah that took you long enough.'' The blonde said while she walked out of the kitchen with a soft smile on her face. In her hands were two cups of what seemed to be coffee. Michiru smiled back at the taller woman as she started following Haruka towards the livingroom.

'' I'm sorry , i didn't realise how long i actually was under the shower.''

'' It doesn't matter.'' The blonde stated as she set one of the cups down on the table and sat down on the couch.'' So have you already picked out a good time to go to your house ?''

Michiru strugged.'' I guess , maybe well , if it isn't a problem to you i'd like to leave now. He will be home within twenty minutes so i want to be out of there before he arrives.'' Haruka nodded in understanding. The smaller girl still seemed to be confused in Haruka's eyes. It seemed like Michiru was having some kind of inner battle with her self and her better half was losing this battle.

'' That's okay. I'll get my coat and yours.'' Haruka put down her own cup. It was now when Michiru noticed Haruka wasn't drinking coffee but instead of that she seemed to be drinking tea.

Michiru just sat back. She really hoped he wasn't home. She begged all the gods up there he wouldn't be home waiting for her but on the other hand , what would it matter ? If he saw Haruka together with her he would be without any doubt not only pissed off but jealous too. He would feel the pain he had caused her , the only difference was she didn't actually cheat on him with the blonde tomboy.' Although i'm kind of curious about how Haruka kisses , she really looks like a good ki...' She stopped shocked at her own thoughts.' Oh god , was i really thinking that ?'

She just shook her head. It must've been a mistake. There was no doubt she was straight , she was after all engaged to Mark and not to forgot the tons of boyfriends she has had but then why ? Why did she felt so attracted to the blonde ? Maybe it was lust , it couldn't be love. Michiru had learned there was no such thing as love at first sight in her life and for all she had been teached by her parents was that gay meant bad.' I really have to stop thinking about these things. Haruka is probably straight too and..' Again her mind rejected that idea. Haruka wasn't the type to go around and flirt with girl on the race track and be straight at the same time.'' She must be g..''

The smaller girl stopped in mid sentence when she noticed someone stood in front of her looking at her with two questioning eyes.Michiru blushed slightly before standing up.''She must be what ?'' Haruka asked as she handed out Michiru's coat.

'' Nothing.''

'' Yes , i must be what ?'' Haruka demanded to know wondering if she had pushed it too far since the words hadn't come out the way she wanted it. Michiru on the other hand was a little bit shocked by the tone in Haruka's voice. Was the blonde mad ? But more importantly , had Michiru been right when she assumed Haruka wasn't into guys ?

'' I'm sorry , i shouldn't have said it. I was thinking out loud. Again i apologize.'' Michiru whispered as she bowed a little still holding her coat in her hands.Haruka just shook her head and stepped closer to the smaller girl.

'' Don't worry , Michiru. I'm the one who is suppossed to say sorry. I shouldn't used that tone on you.'' The smaller girl could feel her heart skip a beat when Haruka lay her hand on her shoulder causing her to turn the slightest of it really be she had developed feelings for the blonde woman ?

'' Let's go , as you already said , we don't want to arrive there when your lovely fiance is there too.'' Haruka then said pulling back. Somehow the tomboy had felt the tension that went through Michiru's body when she lay her hand on the smaller girl's shoulder.' She knows , god she must be disgusted with me right now.Why wouldn't she , they always are.' Haruka reminded herself as she turned away from the other girl.'' Let's go.'' She repeated earning a nod in reply.

When they finally reached Michiru's house Haruka was kind of suprised by its welcoming surroundings.'' That's it.'' The smaller girl whispered as she pointed out a small white house.'' He's home.'' The smaller girl added when she saw the black ferrari stand in front of the garage.

'' Do you want me to go with you or would you prefer i stay in the car ?'' Haruka asked. Without any doubt of thinking it through Michiru said she wanted the blonde to come with her. Now he was home she wouldn't waste her chances on getting him back , yes he would pay big time.

Both stepped out of the car as they walked towards the house. Michiru stopped when she saw Mark's jealous eyes from the window on the second floor. Without thinking about what she was going to do next to pulled the blonde who had also stopped closer and before any of them knew what was happening their lips met in a innocent but sweet kiss. Haruka's eyes flew wide open when she realised the position they were in but didn't dare to pull back and closed her eyes enjoying every moment of it. She knew why Michiru was doing this , she had also seen Mark staring at them out of the window. Oh that guy was going to be mad , very mad.

When they finally parted Michiru knew what she had just done and smiled embarressed. She had to explain it to Haruka later but now they had to face Mark first. Haruka's heart felt like it was breaking into a thousand pieces. Yes she knew why Michiru had kissed her and she hadn't mind it at least she thought. Why was her heart hurting like this ?

'' Let's face the devil.'' Haruka said ignoring her screaming and racing heart.Michiru just nodded a little bit surpised by the calmth in the blonde's voice. When they reaced the door Michiru didn't waste anytime on making it easy on her fiance and instead of using her own keys she knocked on the door waiting until Mark would open up the door.

When he didn't open after the first three knocks she starting to look for the keys in her pocket but then the door swung open revealing Mark who didn't look too happy.'' Hi , i guess you already know why i am here ?'' The aqua haired girl asked with no emotion in her voice yet she couldn't help it but smile at the broken and confused man in front of her.

'' Who is he ?'' Mark asked instead of letting Michiru and Haruka come inside.

'' This is Haruka my new boyfriend.'' Was the answer. Mark flinched at those as if he hadn't expect it after he saw them both kiss a few minutes ago.

'' So i'm not the only one who had been cheating , ne ?'' Michiru smirked bitterly.

'' Actually i met Haruka after i ran away from you.''

Mark didn't seem to buy it. Haruka wasn't suprised by this. It had been one day ago since they had the fight , there was no way she could've met someone else so fast let alone stand fall in love.

'' Yeah right , it's impossible , if what you're telling me is right it would mean you met eachother less than twenty four hours ago , had time to get to know eachother and fall in love too. I'm not stupid.''

'' Oh shut up and just let her get her stuff you ass and yes , you are stupid.'' Haruka said when she saw Michiru was at loss of words. The man gave her a cold glare in return as if to say shut up and pretend you are not here.

'' You don't even know me , stay out of this.'' Mark hissed as he started pulling on Michiru's arm.'' I made a mistake so what ? It happens all the time why should this be any different but Michi is a smart girl , she knows i'm sorry and she forgives me.''

Haruka was suprised by this man's words. Either he didn't want to know the truth or he was just playing stupid.'' A mistake ?'' Haruka started but was cut off my Michiru who pulled out of Mark's grip and walked pass Mark into the house.

'' Michiru honey , you are not serious are you ?'' Mark asked shocked by the girl's actions. He had never seen her like this it was as if she was finally revealing her true self. He muttered something under his breath as he followed Michiru into the house completly forgetting about the blonde.

The aqua haired girl had already reached the bedroom when Mark had catched up with her.'' Michi listen i'm sorry. Please let me make it up to you. I promise it will never happen again. Please listen to me.'' Finally the smaller girl turned to face him. Her cold facade had dissapeared completely and was replaced by a broken and hurt look. Michiru was on the verge of crying. She could really use some help right now. She knew that if she would listen to him any longer she would give in to him even though she knew all he said were nothing but lies.

'' Michi , honey. You are the best that ever happened to me , you made me happy and complete , i don't know why i did what i did but i'm sorry.I pormise not to do it ever again , just let me prove to you how much you mean to be. I really love you and i meant every word i ever said to you. Please...'' It was now when he noticed the girl in front of him wasn't wearing her engagement ring anymore.

'' I...'' Michiru started. Would she forgive hime ? Did he really mean what he said ? No ! He was lying she knew it. Why was she so weak around him. Mark noticed the state Michiru was in and stepped closer to her. When she didn't step back or even flinched he pulled her into a comforting hug. She still didn't react to his touch but didn't pull away either giving him the slightest of hope.Maybe he still stood a chance with the aqua haired beauty. He just had to prove he was better than that blonde boy who probably still stood on the front porch. He wasn't going to screw it up anymore.If Michiru was willing to give their relationship one more try he would prove to her he had never lied about one single thing.

'' I love you.'' He whispered softly causing the smaller girl to burst into tears.

'' I...'' She sobbed ready to tell him she was willing to give him one more chance , ready to forget everthing that had happened between them and start over.
