Chapter 15: Choice
Michiru looked the horizon from her balcony, the wind playing with her long hair, the day haven't brake already, there was this mist in the air.
"Hi" Haruka came out of the bedroom looking for her, she was still a bit sleepy.
"Hi"
"What are you doing here?" Haruka approached her and placed her hands around her waist bringing her closer.
"Thinking..." Michiru placed her hands around Haruka's neck. "Haruka do you really love me?"
"You have to ask?"
"I just want to hear it..."
"Of course I love you Michiru, seeing you lights my day, the touch of your skin makes me crazy,you're the first thing I think of every morning and the last one every night, before I met you I was not even alive..." Michiru reached Haruka's face and kiss her lips, she let herself go, while Haruka's hands runned through her back. "What is it Michiru, why are you acting so strange?"
"It's nothing..."
"It's about Tokyo isn't it?" Michiru doubted but then she just nodded. "Do what your heart tells you Michi, I won't ask again you know what I want, I'll save a seat for you in the ferry boat, if you're not there I'll know your answer...no matter what it is I'll always love you..."
Michiru sighed. "I have not decide yet"
"That means I still have a chance, a beautiful day is ahead of us, what do you wish to do?"
"I want you to take me out for dinner"
"But what about the gossips and the two restaurants..."
"You have a car I saw it the other day, take me to dinner to the city"
"Sounds wonderful..."
-----------------------o---------------------o-------------------
Haruka stayed all morning, they walked through the beach just holding hands, Michiru let this soothing truce to fill her, she'll make a choice but not today... Haruka was suppose to leave in three days; there's was still plenty of time.
After eating luch Haruka left so Michiru could get ready for dining out; she entered her house smiling.
"Nana I'm home"
"Hi dear, what are you doing home this early, don't tell me you feel sick again"
"No, I'm taking a bath and then I'm going out to dinner with Haruka, could you please let my father know?"
"Ok, where are you going?"
--------------------------o------------------------o---------------
"Out for dinner? Mh ... why don't you take her to that little restaurant we went the other day?"
"Maybe"
"So has she made her mind yet?"
"No"
"I ... I'm your friend Haruka you know that, so I'm compelled to tell you this...she's not coming with you"
"Who told you that?"
"No one, but it's pretty obvious, what the hell is she going to do back at Tokyo? Or is she suppose to be caged there? She has roots with this land..."
"I don't want to hear any more of this, I'll be upstairs showering if you need me"
"Don't get mad at me ..."
"I'm not, but I know you're wrong" "You have to be"
-----------------------o-------------------o--------------------
Michiru looked herself in the mirror once more, she was unable to recognize herself in there, her long hair pined up with a pearl hairpin, the long blue silk dress showing all her curves and the heels that make her legs look even longer, she looked just as a mirage...
Michiru came down the stairs trying hard not to fell down, she was having a hard time, however Haruka didn't notice it, she just saw in front of her the most beautiful woman she had ever laid eyes on, she couldn't believe this sophisticated beauty was her girlfriend the same girl wo runned free and wild through the beach this morning.
"Haruka? I asked you how did I look"
"Sorry Michi I was... you look like a queen"
Michiru smiled, and walked past her to grab her chal. "Oh you didn't have to lie, I know I look like I'm about to fall"
"I meant what I said"
Michiru looked at the blonde and she felt shy under those green eyes who appear to look right through her soul. "Let's go"
"Your requests are my orders"
-----------------------o--------------------------o----------------
They arrived to the little city an hour later, Haruka offered her arm and Michiru gladly took it; Michiru felt the stares as they walk by the streets, she felt this tingle of excitement."You like it, don't you?"
"What?"
"Desire, in all those eyes"
Michiru blushed. "I don't know what are you talking about..."
"I like it too, cause I think 'look all you want she's mine'"
Michiru blushed even harder. "No matter what, you always win don't you?"
"Aha"
"Oh you're so cocky, why do I ever speak to you any longer ah?"
"Cause I'm adorable" Michiru smiled and laid her head on Haruka's shoulder. "This could become an every day thing you know? Everyone in Tokyo would be delighted at your sight."
"Really?"
"No sarchasm again! I mean it"
"You promised, no more talk about that"
"I was just saying"
A bit after midnight they arrived back to Tahi, Michiru was feeling happy, they had the perfect evening, everything was so romantic and new she felt uplifted; back in her room Haruka joined her and they sealed the night with the perfect kiss. Michiru moaned when she felt Haruka unzipping her dress, her soft hands claiming their territory...
"I want you so bad Michi"
"Mh..."
"I'll take that as a me too"
Michiru giggled softly with Haruka kissing her long neck... "Ruka..."
knock, knock...
Michiru's heart stopped for a second, she pushed Haruka away from her and whispered her. "Hide, quick" She try to zipp her dress back but it was worthless...
knock, knock...
"Who is it?"
"It's me princess"
"Just a moment daddy" "Oh lord..." Haruka hid on the balcony, Michiru approached the door and open it slowly. "Good Night"
Sechiru came inside. "So? Ready to confess?"
"Oh, oh I think I'm having a stroke...I'm to young to have a stroke, what if I faint?" Michiru looked surprised. "Ah?"
"Come on Michi I want to hear it all"
"Ok So... where do I began... how about...I'm so sorry!"
"Did the cat ate your tongue little fish? Won't you tell your father how did your date went?"
Michiru sighted so hard, she could swear her father looked at her suspiciously.Michiru recovered quickly and smile. "It was ok dad"
"OK? Your first dinner in the city and it was just ok?"
"Oh well it was very nice and I have a lot of fun...oh don't look me like that! Not that much fun!" Her father laughted softly and shook his head.
"You look guilty Michiru... what are you not telling me?"
"Nothing!"
Haruka tried hard not to laugh, she could hear Michiru's nervous tone and she picture the scene, but then she thought it was not that funny, if her father might found out she was a death woman.
"It's ok Michi, I know how dating is, I just came to check everything was alright"
"It is... I... I'm fine dad"
"Ok then, I'm off to bed"
"Good night daddy...hey how are you feeling?"
"As well as expected my child, good night"
Michiru sat in the bed after her father left, her heart beating fast. "Get inside Tenoh"
Haruka came in smiling, she sat next to her. "You are not a good liar"
Michiru looked at her angry. "I was not suppose to be! Before you I never lied"
"I'm sorry to be the cause of your fall..."
"There, you're making fun of me aren't you?"
Haruka smiled and kiss her, Michiru kiss her back and forgot everything once more.
------------------o----------------------o---------------------
"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning..."
Haruka's words play over an over in Michiru's head, through the past hours Haruka had been gloomier with her, she kept her promise about not asking her again about Tokyo, but Michiru noticed she was mad; tonight Michiru was sleeping alone, Haruka had told her she was staying at the Hatachi's making her logage but she knew it was Haruka's way to step aside and let her decide; and there was the problem she didn't want to make a choice, she had being delaying it cause she was unable to decide; she walked through the beach once more and sat down in the now cold sand, the sunset was falling and Michiru felt the tears coming again.
The tide rise and wet her feet, Michiru sob and cry a little more, how she was going to live without Haruka? How would she trick her heart into just not loving anymore? Would she be able to get her old life agai and find it fulfilling? "No" And then Michiru realize, she couldn't; that was exactly why she was coming to Tokyo with Haruka... "That's it, I am going!" She stood up quickly and contemplate the sea once more. "I'll be back and you'll be here for me once more, but love won't... give me your blessing please" Michiru felt the water on her feet once more and smile under those last tears, then she turned around and run to her house, she had still so many things to do in order to be ready for sailing tomorrow. "I'll fight for my love, i'll fight for you Haruka..."
(Ah! Now do you think Michiru would live happy in Tokyo? Oh is she really going? Is Haruka so in love with her too? Wanna find out what would happen? Then review please!)
