CHAPTER TWO - PART THREE

Neptune was just waiting for a bus to ride on to get home when out of nowhere the rain appeared. She was so baaaaad. She didn't even bring an umbrella. And she was on high heels and she was in the middle of difficulty of walking due to it. Not to noticed, it's slippery. It was her first day of her job; she made the official start on that day.

Just ago, she was so happy because she won and finally got a chance to pieced her life again. She was busy all day because of orientation and she can already feel that she will be happy to stay at Homor Textiles. But maybe all that happiness was just a delusion right now. This rain was just a total pain in the ass.

She was on the peak of terrible temper when a car stopped in front of her. Exiting from the inside is a beautiful Purple Heart, bringing an umbrella with her.

"Hop in. I'm going to fetched you." At first, Neptune was looking around her if she was really the one the woman talking for.

Purple just giggled. She was not going to let herself get wet.

Just as Neptune sat beside inside the car, Purple clothed the poor girl and lower down the air conditioner. She was the one who also tied the seat belt for her. Neptune can really smell the lavender smell breathe while Purple tied the seat belt.

"Thank you, Ma'am." That was all she could say.

"We're outside of the office, remember? You can call me Purple." The woman said while she focused her eyes on the road ahead, "Where can I drop you?"

"Just on that mall that we're going to passed by. I will just stay there until the rain stopped so I can't disturb you."

"I insist you to take you home. Tell me where is the address of your home and I will drop you there. You have to be safe and sound."

She shortly thought about it. Since her boss was showing her kindness to her by taking her home, so she wasn't going to fool around. She was truly uncomfortable with the woman's presence but it is dangerous if she didn't get home faster. Maybe she won't get a ride for home. And one for thing, she was going home in Leanbox. She have no intention to have an apartment near the office. She will endure everyday travel from Leanbox to Planeptune and vice versa. Leanbox was her only comfort zone.

In the end, the practical was the victor. She didn't deny the help. She accept it.

During the ride, they talked about many stuffs with her boss. Mostly related to work but it didn't make it a barrier between them for her to know the woman more. Among what the woman's said, a real truth that comes in her mind that the woman was still single and very much available.

"Do you want drink a coffee first?" Neptune invited Purple when they finally stopped in front the girl's house.

"Sure."

Purple helped her from exiting the car. She was truly a gorgeous woman.

"Feel at home." She said as she pointed the sofa.

"Your house was kinda funny." Purple commented, "I thought only the outside is purple. Even the whole house inside was also pink."

Her house was really attracting in the village. She painted it in purple when her parents finally finalize the annulment when she was eighteen years old and decided to give her the house and the land.

For her, the purple represents her way for cope. When she always sees it, her sadness loosened up. She was also obsessed on collecting things that is colored in roses.

"Are you feeling boring in my house?" She can't help but asked her opinion.

"No. Of course not. It's kinda cute. Like you." Just a simple taut are a big effect to her. Well, it's not bad to admire her. That's not a treacherous in the memory of her lover. Admiration is different from love. There's no one going to change the gap of Noire in her heart, she was certain of it.

"Let me look at your albums."

Before she was returned to herself Purple already hold the album that was over her coffee table. She just let her while she make a coffee.

She turned her head when she heard the woman's low laugh. It was like she was entertained by.

"What's the funny thing you're looking at?"

She didn't answer her question so she was forced to come closer to know what's the source of her laugh. She widened her eyes when she saw her picture in preschooler. Her mucus was growing in her nose in the picture while smiling and she can clearly see that she was mostly toothless in the picture. That's one of her thing that she wanted to throw long before because she was ugly at that time. But she can't because she knows that that was only her memorabilia when she was a kid.

"Give that back to me!" She punctually tried to steal the book but the woman quickly raised the book faster and always dodge her. She will not stop until she caught that item.

Purple Heart only laughed louder. She was like a kid that wanted to play and play mischievous tricks to one another.

She was always dodging Neptune's hand from her hand to avoid being catch, then her knee hit the sofa and there she fell above it. And because Neptune was stuck with Purple, she was sent above the slender figure of the woman.

For a second, she stopped breathing. They just stared at each other. Neptune can feel the heartbeat in front of hers. This was her first time looking closer in the face of Purple. There's almost no wind entering her lungs because of how close her face was. She had those playful, bright eyes. Her nose are sharp and purplish lips. She was full of appeal.

She feel the fall of the album in the hand of the woman to the floor. Her hand was free to roam around her hair. She even parted few of her hair away from her face. She almost closed her eyes. She wanted this feeling.

Both of them just friendly recovered when a loud thunder shook. She quickly get up from the woman for pinning her down.

Her face was red. For the second time since the scenario that happened in Leanbox, she felt to ashamed to even look at her.

"Aww, I almost have it..."

A young woman with noticeable silky fair skin was looking through the window as she analyze the scenario happening outside with her black round eyes.

"Oh please, you think I will not change the flow of this plot?"

Another person, this time, a man. A young man. A dull black eyes and a alabaster skin was the only thing that was the only thing can noticed.

Both wearing a black raincoat with a hoodie.

The woman pouted as she turned her head to the man. The man just roll his eyes in annoyance, "If we're just going to use someone's ideas then we better make it slowly for the readers to feel the emotions very well."

"But that's too cute to happened! We can just redo the plot."

A deep sighed escape from a man, "I wouldn't surprised, after all, this is you we're talking about."

Then they turned back to the two inside the house through window.

"Hm, I wish Jamey was here so he can watch her two favorite waifu getting to each other."

"Disgusting, even Akina wasn't going to stoop that low for a foolish Author Heart like you."

"You're so mean!"

"Stalking?"

"...whatever."

And that said, they disappeared.
