I cant sleep there's to much to do still in the sound proof music room its after four in the morning and I feel stressed and exhausted which don't help I am under plenty of pressure with how important a career start is I need to make sure everything is perfect. My mother said she will teach me a few more things that will help me make sure that I get a strong start I am nearly done I can do this I just need to think it through and this piece will be done I feel sleep fight my thoughts I try to fight back but suddenly this wooden chair feels like a perfect place to rest my eyes just for a moment...
"Michiru? Michiru!" Theo shakes her sleeping form roughly in the old wooden chair.
Michiru is having a lovely dream of Haruka hands tied in her bedroom only to have the earthquake interrupt her mmm? Whoa!
"I think I shook to much" Michiru falls backwards on the Chair and her dress goes up and its the view of those panties that catch my eye. "Wow so sexy."
"THEO!" I stand up and slap him on the face. You are such a pervert! I leave the room as quick as I can I don't care about the pain in my back and neck I will just get a massage as I stomp angrily past my mother in the hall.
"Michiru that's no way for a lady to walk what has gotten in to you!"
"ASK THE PERVERT!" I slam my room door and lock it I take out my cell phone and book a full massage and spa day first a shower and I am out of here if I see Theo today I will SCREAM...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I jump up in bed to see thorn awake beside me smiling. "What in hell was that?!"
"That Haruka is Suzy winning yet another round in wrestling."
"You mean Hailey slept on suzy?"
"Yes I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen its between her and I you wait here Haruka" I kiss her and walk to the living room to greet Suzy's latest victim.
I watch her leave Hailey must of pissed off Thorn for her to do this too her I wonder what happened?
Thorn comes back with a smile. "Shes fine you know I think a spa day for everyone would be a good idea to relax after all Christmas eve is tomorrow it will be a busy day so I figured why not relax today?"
"Ok Thorn." I get up and walk to the living room and see Hailey sitting hunched over a bit having trouble straightening herself up I sit down beside her and kiss her deeply. "Suzy is a mix of good and evil like me."
"Id prefer you over this pain any day but why is this couch so special? I mean CRACK! owwww! other then what you said."
"Well a lot of things but you know I guess my favourite was when dad Thorn Rio Ava and I were all sitting together on Suzy and we took our first family picture.That and when we put our money together to get the newest TV we all sat together and watched a great movie the green mile my dad likes the classics there's other things but we would be here awhile why do you ask?"
"You do a lot with Thorn Rio and Ava still don't you?"
"Ya they are my family." I pull Hailey close. "But never forget your important to me to do you want me to help you get dressed?"
"I am tough I will be fine a shower will help but I want you to join me of course."
"Sure thing come on." I pull her in my arms as we head to the bathroom I realize I am also starving this morning. We run in to thorn shes already fully dressed in a white pair of pants with a black and silver T shirt.
I hear the loud growl from Haruka stomach. "You didn't eat any dinner last night I already texted the others the plan is to meet at the mall for brunch before we head to the spa."
"Sounds great" I hold poor Hailey steady I can still hear the cracks and crunches with each movement she does. "lets go shower Hailey."
When we are alone behind the locked door of the bathroom Haruka begins to kiss me deeply while slowly stripping my clothes. "Mmmm." The sensations she gives me just takes control of me with each Hot kiss she gives me she lifts me in to the shower and holds me close to her under the hot water rubbing my back as her other hand is slowly going down to touch me while pulling me in for another deep kiss all my thoughts go lost ...
I hear Haruka cell going off. Hello this is Thorn Haruka is a little busy at the moment can I take a message? We are all so happy to hear that thank you I will let her know." Hanging up I make the beds and clean up the couch sweeping and mopping the floor It don't take long to finish dusting the furniture that window could use a polish before I could start I hear the bathroom door open Haruka and Hailey come walking out. "looking good". fresh you two
"Thanks lets head out to meet the others I am starving" We all get dressed and head out I open the doors and Thorn sits in the back while Hailey slides slowly in to the front beside me starting it up I drive out to head to the mall...
I sneak out the side of the mansion and open my car door getting in starting the motor and speeding away I am not staying there any longer I am heading to the Lunar mall for a quick breakfast and massage at least my mother was right on one thing they are the best place I park in the front and head for the Buffet palace...
We walk in to the Lunar mall. "Ugh this damn crowd how will we find everyone? They told me they got here and saved a table." Thorn studies the area they said in the corner by the Tea hut and Munch a lot.
I soon spot Haruka and the others. "There you guys are we wanted to wait for you before we ordered." Rio looks at Hailey "what happened to you? You look like your in pain."
"Oh she met Suzy is all Rio you have a seat I will get you something to eat I remember what you like. But before we go anywhere I have to tell you all something Haruka your phone rang when you were in the shower it was the hospital with the money we each added too it payed all Minako bills she is going to Usagi home to spend Christmas she will be released this afternoon."
"Thats great!"
"It was your idea Haruka you should feel proud."
"I know but without all of your help it would of been harder we all did it together lets get food and celebrate I will go get the teas for everyone."
"Sounds great I will go with you Haruka."
"Sure Thorn." Haruka smiles as she stands up from the table with the others.
"Ava Mei and I will go get food you relax Hailey we will be at the spa in no time"
"Ya crack! Haileys back does not like the hard mall chairs. But she wont give them the satisfaction and hides the pain as best as possible."Sure thing Jade and I are fine here Rio."
Waiting in line with Haruka I take a look at the list to make sure that we get everyone's favourites.
"Thorn I was wondering"..
Just a moment as I walk up to give the list of orders to the lady at the register I pay for all the drinks and Haruka and I walk to the other end to wait for them all. "You were going to ask why I stayed right?"
"Yes not that I mind I like having you around."
"I just wanted to spend more time with you for the holidays is that ok?"
"Of course its fine for you to stay."The lady puts out two trays of teas we each lift one and when we get to table Rio And Mei are Handing out the fun mystery Brunch meals. Thorn and I carefully hand each person their tea then I sit beside Hailey who Don't look to happy but I think she will be better after the spa I hope. We all begin eating our meals I am so hungry its not taking me long to be nearly finished mine...
I Walk in to the Lunar mall out of the freezing temperatures is already a relief now for some more well deserved relaxation I shake the snow from my hair as I walk in to the Crystal moon Spa.
"Ah Michiru come in dear please we been expecting you." The massage worker greeted with a smile he hands her a magazine. "We will be ready for you very soon for now have a seat and relax."
"Thank you it has been a very rough week." Michiru replies while flipping through the makeover magazine in her hands.
"Yes I bet with all the Christmas fun." The woman then hands her a refreshing smoothie.
"Yes fun"... Michiru sighs while taking a sip of the cold beverage. She held her tongue on the newest feelings about the Christmas season and not because of the sudden break up with Haruka there was so much more her thoughts are interrupted by the noise of three loud excited teens walking out from the back.
"You can go on and get changed Michiru when your ready" she knows the young rich girl well they have had a few conversations on her bold ways of running away sneaking out without as much as a note of where she is sometimes the elderly worker thinks the youngsters need a simple kick in the pants what problems could someone so well off have she wondered forcing a smile while handing fresh robe and warm towels to the young girl...
We throw away our garbage. "The spa place is just over that way". Haruka points they all try to walk together dodging people rushing to stores one slammed Haruka and Hailey in to Thorn she quickly was grabbed by her girlfriend Jade despite her small frame and short height shes strong and didn't hesitate to tell the person off who promptly turned around looking for a reason to fight.
Hailey and I watch as not even Thorn could hold her back the person set down the one bag she held and tried to swing at Jade one simple defensive move ended up with the girl tripping herself instead falling on the ground landing on her ass she screamed in anger then got up glaring at all of us picked up her bag yelling out freaks as she quickly took off.
We all praise Jade on her quick thinking after all she didn't really want to fight she was just angry about someone just slamming others out of their way and wasn't about to hide her opinion on that. We begin our walk once again I keep Hailey close to me and rub her sore back I am sure us getting slammed didn't help the pain. I lead them to the Crystal moon spa we step inside the beautifully decorated shop calm smells and relaxed atmosphere already is helping I step up and give them the appointment card and information.
"Oh yes the Tenoh group welcome to our spa the change rooms are over that way so glad to see all of you." the only person the elderly woman really sort of knew was the sandy blonde who didn't like to be touched suddenly a memory hits wasn't she with Michiru before the two from such different worlds now not speaking a worrying vibe climbs the woman's spine she don't need any trouble especially during the holiday season.
Well here goes I step inside the change room its the right temperature with a hint of lavender and calm music Haruka looks at herself in the mirror then the robe on the hook I cant believe I am doing this but there is no turning back this time after checking the door is good and locked she slowly begins to strip off her clothes...
"Your room is over there Michiru The Massage table is there" she points to the partially lit room with the soft table along with a lot of bottles that lined the shelves on the wall.
"Thank you" Michiru slowly removes her robe and lays on the table she looks at all the oils and lotions to choose from...
Walking out in a robe now where do I go? That sign says massage rooms lets get this over with Haruka opens the door I go inside the dim lighting makes it hard to see and I walk right into the table "OOF!" And right away that familiar smell of the sea fills me.
"Oh?!"
"What the?" I see Michiru why wont destiny leave me alone?
"I drop the water I was holding on purpose. Oops! do you mind Haruka?
Sigh "fine" I lift the bottle and when I stand up our lips are not far from each other before I could move Michiru gives me a peck on the lips those same damn tingles my element is wanting the Ocean I back away destiny will not control me never.
"Haruka this isn't about Destiny I know were just friends now but cant I have one last kiss before I leave."
"Why would you want to kiss someone your ashamed of its best that we just keep it professional."
"I am not ashamed of you I love you I know that I made a horrible mistake but you know my mother has never been easy to talk too I was not ready to come out yet Im so very sorry I should of been honest."
She reaches out her hand to me.
I take her hand "I am your friend but I cant kiss you my focus has changed so has my life choices so send me letters about your cruise if you want but I got to go my family wants me".
"Over here Haruka!"
I peek out the door tip toe out a little seeing all the girls waiting for her as she goes with them her family? Which one is her girlfriend? Well I don't want to go home I have time on my hands so why not do a little snooping I pull a friend of mine with me in to the massage room to ask her a favor...
"Not sure if Haruka and I will do a massage as you know we are not a fan of being touched."
"Don't worry you two these are professionals we all feel the same but we are here to relax Thorn so give it a go."
"Alright Rio" I see Haruka already looking cautious. Hey you and I will stick close with Hailey I see her nod when a tall red head enters I agree with Haruka's look that she does look cute.
"I am ruby here to take your terrible tensions away."My friend only agreed to lend me the wig and uniform if I took the rest of her shift I look at the clock looks like I am here for the next five hours on my feet while wearing high heels just great what have I got myself in to I expected Haruka not the three of them all in here.
"I am Thorn this is Hailey and Haruka remember to please listen close to us when we let you know not to touch somewhere got it"?
"We want your experience to be of full relaxation I see Haruka is being Quiet barely a word from her I know shes taking in everything around her including exits I know my sailor partner well I also feel the pairs of eyes glaring in to me as I go stand by the table where Haruka lays I slowly begin to rub her with lavender.
Soon two other workers came to join in they too start slow with Thorn and Hailey Thank god them watching my every move was creeping me out I know Haruka well I know where not to touch so far so good but these high heels are already killing my feet.
Something about this girl is setting off a warmth in me she eventually tells me to follow but I wait for Thorn and Hailey.The others are going in massage rooms on the other side we arrive in the room it has relaxed lighting and what smells like a light scent of lavender Thorn made sure its just woman with us not men I follow Ruby to the last bed with Thorn on the bed between in the middle and Hailey near the door in case she just wants to leave the woman says door is closed its ok to remove my robe.
I gently lay the hot rocks on her back hope I did that right I try not to look at Haruka beautiful perfect body as I begin to put the dirty towels in the hamper. Thorn is keeping an eye on both Hailey and Haruka and somehow still giving instructions to Lilly who is giving her the massage still since she didn't want stones I wonder if Thorn is her girlfriend I notice Haruka picked lotion for after and I do what Mary told me to do I may not be trained but I think I am doing just fine this is easy.
Why do I feel so safe with her this don't make sense and yet I feel my BACK BURNING! Mary quickly fixed Michiru aka Ruby's mistake while under the glare of both Hailey and Thorn who wanted to get up to check Haruka but Mary assured them that it was caught in time and minor but still gave each of them a gift card.
I guess its not as easy as it looks Michiru thought while she stuck to folding towels letting lily and Mary finish the relaxing treatments. Mary suddenly shoved the lotion at me telling me to try and not mess up that she had to deal with the other customers.
Touching Haruka was making me crave her more this is beautiful torture but I love it. Why?Because I could tell she was falling asleep no one else that I know was able to do that I see her eyes close and her breathing fully relaxed I know she needs it and Id rather do this then deal with whats back home this is heaven compared to hell what I didn't notice was Thorn eyeing me closely
I sit up when the hour long massage is over even Hailey is awake and feeling much better but Haruka is fast asleep completely relaxed I have been the only one to do that she has to trust the person know them then I notice a bit of blue under that red hair a ha Hailey you go on I will wake Haruka I walk over could you wait there a moment I see Ruby nod confused as I kneel kiss Haruka lips gently hey lazy bones wake up.
That has to be her girlfriend I watch as Haruka slowly opens her eyes and smiles to Thorn giving her a kiss back apologizing to her.
"No need too you ok? or do you need help Haruka?" I move her bangs from her face.
I will be alright I stretch my back only slightly hurts from the burn I see Ruby folding more towels. "Thanks that was great" I give her hand a kiss and walk out.
"I will be there in a moment Haruka I block Ruby path so you know our Haruka do you?"
"No I don't miss she seems very nice" trying not to get nervous why is her girlfriend at me for? I only slightly burned Haruka with rocks it could of been worse plus she finds some pain pleasurable maybe they haven't had sex yet that brings me a little relief.
"Don't go there Haruka trusts you she fell asleep and since there is a small group who have earned that trust and your not one I know of except one person I didn't get to meet" I step forward. "Why hide your blue hair?" I pull the wig right off holding it away from the girl.
"How did you notice my hair?" I try to grab it back but she wont have it. "Haruka feels better that's all that matters now if you excuse me." But she still blocks me what is with her girlfriend?
"So we meet Michiru she used to talk about you all the time you made a mistake but don't give up I can tell your close to her she will fight like more then hell itself because she don't want to hold you back however I wont hold you back from your job thank you for calming Haruka I think I will take this with me" she puts the wig in her bag and walks off.
What kind of game is her girlfriend Thorn playing why would she be telling me to keep trying to win her heart this is not even close to making any sense at all when I take one last look Haruka is sitting by two different women I don't know and is talking to Thorn they all look Happy I am not close to finding a thing out.
Suddenly I feel a gentle but sharp tap on my shoulder I see a smirk on Thorn face I turn around and there stood Mary one of the spas bosses she looks ready to explode with anger and tells me to start explaining while she half drags me to her office quickly trying to avoid us getting attention.
I let the whole story flow out how I payed my friend Ruby fifty dollars for the uniform and wig just so I could see who Haruka was dating I could not help myself I knew it sounded crazy just by the look on her face but her expression soon changed to a mischievous grin she got up and lead me to way further back to a room that was lit bright but it stinks horribly it had just two sets of washer and dryers hampers filled with towels filled the left side of the room a big sign said LAUNDRY.
Mary then pointed to me and said looks like all the towels will get washed after all she then smiled more and added that since Ruby was late she was suppose to work till closing at seven thirty she then said she will be here to make sure that I do every job Ruby is supposed to do and sadly at that moment I could not think of why I didn't deserve this so she began to show me what to do...
"Haruka you pick a polish you like first"
I come out of the a Massage room holding more dirty towels I bump into someone right in to a shelf of towels hard enough that an avalanche of towels hit us both "oh!"
"Oof what in hell?" I go to get up and I bang heads with another person "ow!" All I was doing was trying to get to the washroom but I have had enough. I grab someone with soft skin and an ocean scent mixed with stinky sweat socks? "Mi.. Michiru?"
"Hello Haruka hit me if you want to the way my mom did you I deserve it".
I am not like you I try not to hit I relax my fist taking a breath I am sorry I let her clothes go I am NOT abusive. Quickly I get up to go.
I catch her quick I have NEVER called you that now stop running from me talk to me I relax my grip on her hand I rub her fingers you said we could be friends remember so why ignore me that's when I hear it...
