Dinner Party

The bath water was cold and yet I still couldn't manage to get out of the water. I had been in the tub over an hour; Mamoru had come to check on me more than once. I thought a relaxing bath would help me pull it together but as the minutes rolled by I just got more and more anxious. Tonight we will be joining Michiru and Haruka for dinner at Le Route in honor of my acceptation into design school. I got out of the bath reluctantly and walked to my closet, so many choices but only one would do. I searched through my clothes until I laid my eyes on the perfect black dress, Haruka would love me in this. No you want to look nice for Mamoru, right?

The dress accentuated all my curves and my stilettos made my legs look nice, this was definitely the one. I pulled my hair back and added some light makeup to bring out my features; I was putting on my earrings when Mamoru walked in the room.

"Are you ready?" he asked taking my necklace from my hands and clasping it for me.

"Yea all set, how do I look?"

"Everyman will be envious of me tonight."He smiled and grabbed my hand as we walked downstairs to the car.

We made light conversation on the way but my mind was somewhere else the entire time. Will this be awkward? How should I act when I see her? Should I just act like we never kissed?

Before I knew it we were pulling into the restaurant parking lotand I was being escorted to the door by the most handsome man in the place. We went to the hostess counter and told them the name on our reservations; they seated us at a nice table where Haruka and Michiru were already waiting. They rose at our appearance and we all sat as the waiter served us a bottle of wine. Michiru looked beautiful as always but no one could out shine Haruka and that smile of hers.

"So Usagi are you excited about going to school?" Michiru asked smiling.

"Oh yes very much so."

"Yes she'll be the best designer one day I'm sure." Mamoru beamed with pride as he smiled lovingly at me. How could I do this to him?

"I'll second that." Haruka added in raising her glass, "To Usagi."

"To Usagi." They all said in chorus as we rose our glassed to toast.

The waiter came and took our orders soon after that and we and we were soon immersed in other less important conversations. At least to me they were pointless everything I really wanted to talk about couldn't be said to anyone at this table. I watched as she looked at Michiru with so much love in her eyes and wondered how she could even look at anyone else. She was so beautiful with her aqua hair and eyes only adding to the graceful presence she exuded no matter what she had on. In that moment I knew what happened between us was nothing more than mistake, it meant nothing to her and to me.

The evening continued on this way and all I could do was look for the right moment to say things like "uh huh" and nod, I excused myself to the bathroom to freshen up. I walked into the stall and just enjoyed the peace I was getting right now. I sat there for awhile, I'm not sure really how long but when I came out there she was by the sink looking at me. I walked right past her to the soap and washed my hands as if nothing was wrong. I proceeded to the door when I felt her grab my wrist and pull me to her.

"Haruka what are you doing!" I said trying to pull away.

"Nothing."

That's all she said before she pushed me against the counter and kissed me passionately. I felt like I was on fire all over and the course of the flame was her. And just like that she grabbed my hand pulled away from me and left the room. I stood there stunned for a minute trying to catch my breath. I felt a piece of paper in my hand and put it in my purse for later, I had kept Mamoru waiting long enough. I went back to our table to see everyone rising as I went over to him.

"You were n there a long time so I decided to send Haruka in there after you," he said smiling.

"Yea sorry about that I think that duck upset my stomach." I grabbed my stomach for effect.

"Oh really well lets get you home."

"Well it was nice seeing you Usagi, Mamoru we should do this again sometime." said Michiru grabbing Haruka's hand.

We said our farewells and went our separate ways to the parking lot. The ride home Mamoru talked about dinner and how lovely it all was but I was still stuck on the kiss. When we got home I kept up the sick act so that could go to bed without him trying anything. After I had taken a shower and changed my clothes I went back to my purse to see what the not said.

Meet me at the race track tonight 4:00am.

That was going to be hard to do, but I wanted to hear what she had to say and I had some words I would like to get off my chest as well. It was going t be a long night but tomorrow held much promise.
