Strawberry Panic-Episode 5:
Road Trip Part Two
After their last night in Sacramento the two headed San Francisco. It was a short two and half hours and Nagisa was grateful for that. It was very hot today; every time the car paused at a stoplight the two of them would start sweating. Shizuma was glad that she had thought to stop at Baker beach. The silver haired woman had made sure that the two of them had worn swimsuits.
As they approached the beach Nagisa's eyes widened. She almost immediately pulled her camera out and took a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. While the red head was snapping pictures, Shizuma was taking off her top and her pants. Underneath she was wearing a black bikini with little cartoon skulls on it.
The silver haired woman put her hand on her shoulder and smiled at Nagisa.
"Are you going swimming or are you going to sit there and take pictures all day?"
Nagisa turned around still looking through the camera. She paused when she looked at the image of Shizuma and she lowered the camera, her mouth slightly open.
Wow, she thought.
Nagisa's eyes locked on Shizuma's shapely body, amazed with every curve of perfection. Shizuma smiled and walked up to Nagisa and leaned close to her face.
["Are you okay honey?"]
Nagisa looked at Shizuma's face and then at her breasts and nodded.
Shizuma leaned back and winked, ["Good, now come on and take off your clothes, it's hot out here."]-
Nagisa nodded again and put her camera in her pocket and took off her shorts and her top. She revealed a pink two-piece that showed off her matured body. This time the seductive shape of Nagisa's body entranced Shizuma and she was left speechless. Her golden eyes looked up and down the redhead's body.
Before Nagisa could notice, Shizuma was able to tear her eyes away from Nagisa and started to walk towards the warm sand.
She looked back, ["first one to the water wins!"]
Nagisa smiled and started to run, ["well then eat my dust ShiShi-chan!"]
Shizuma smirked, ["we'll see."]
The two of them ran, jumping over sunbathers and dodging sand castles. The two of them were running so fast that they were kicking sand in people's faces.
"Sorry," Nagisa said as she stepped on a sand castle.
Shizuma tripped over a man who was lying down on the sand, "Excuse me!"
When the two of them finally made it to the water Nagisa was in the lead, but Shizuma had one trick up her sleeve. The silver haired ex-Etoile launched herself at Nagisa, the two of them falling into the water with a huge splash.
Shizuma popped her head out of the water followed by Nagisa. A vein was popping in Nagisa's head as she glared at Shizuma.
["What was that for?"]
Shizuma shrugged, ["it was just for fun."]
Nagisa smiled darkly,[ "oh, fun huh?"]
Shizuma's mouth twitched as she backed up from Nagisa. ["Hey, hey, no need to be mad honey."]
Nagisa's face was suddenly innocent, "what? I'm not mad."
Shizuma blinked and then smiled, "uh okay then."
Shizuma then sighed and leaned back, floating in the water. Nagisa swam next to her, when suddenly Nagisa's arms wrapped themselves around Shizuma. The silver haired woman pulled down into the water. When Shizuma's head emerged from the water she saw a smiling Nagisa looking at her. Shizuma stood up and glared at Nagisa.
"What was that for?"
A group of teenage boys that were playing a game of water football turned their attention to the two women. One of them pointed at Shizuma, his brown cheeks now red.
"Look! She's topless!"
The words traveled to Shizuma's ears and she looked at the teenager, then down at her chest. She knew that she had been feeling a little free. She crossed her arms and got back underwater, her face as red as every male and some females that had their eyes on her.
This is so not funny, she thought.
She looked up at the grinning Nagisa who was twirling Shizuma's bikini top on her right index finger. Shizuma turned her attention to the bikini top as she formulated how she was going to get it back.
As if an imaginary light bulb turned on above her head she got an idea. She smiled up at Nagisa and the redhead's smile fell to a flat line.
["Oh crap."]
Before the red head was able to react, Shizuma had pulled Nagisa into the water by her bikini top. While Nagisa was busy recomposing herself, Shizuma undid Nagisa's top and put it on.
Unfortunately for Nagisa, she didn't notice that she was robbed of her top until she spotted it on Shizuma. The redhead turned around to see the same teenage boy that pointed Shizuma out, taking pictures of her.
Another boy who was sitting on the beach waved his cell phone in the air.
"Hey guys, I caught the chicks on video! This is so going on youtube!"
Shizuma sighed, ["well I'm going to be the main topic when I get back to work."]
Nagisa got back in the water and put Shizuma's top on. She then got up and walked back to the car, Shizuma swearing that she saw her ears smoking.
I think I'm in trouble.
Shizuma got out of the water and followed after Nagisa.
One of the boys laughed, "Oh, looks like she made her girlfriend mad guys!"
Shizuma turned around and glared at the boys and ran back to the car.
The boys all looked at each other, their eyes wide. "Man, she's scary and hot!"
When Shizuma made it to the car Nagisa was fully dressed and angry. She sat in the passenger seat with her arms folded. Shizuma bit her lip as she dried off and put her clothes back on.
The silver haired woman knew better than to say anything to the redhead, so she got in the car silently. She took a look at Nagisa before she started the car and drove off.
The whole drive to the hotel was quiet and that was annoying Shizuma but she dealt with it. Even when they had gotten their hotel rooms there was an uncomfortable silence hovering in the air.
As Nagisa was putting her things up Shizuma was on the phone with Tanya.
"Oh so you're on vacation too?"
"Yep, I started it yesterday."
Shizuma smiled, "oh, so where are you going?"
"I'm going to be in Long Beach for a while so that I can go to the water sports festival."
Shizuma put her finger up to her lip as she glanced at Nagisa. "You know what, we'll be there too."
"That's great! I hope to see you there, oh and the boss sent you an e-mail about the business proposition with the CEO of Jay's Strings."
Shizuma reached into her bag and pulled out a sleek silver laptop and set in on the bed. She then turned it on and logged into her e-mail account.
"Oh I see it now, I'll respond back. I got the deal; we're one signature away from owning their company."
Shizuma heard Tanya gasp.
"Oh my god! You're amazing; I can't believe you got the deal through that quick!"
Shizuma laughed, "Well that's why I have my job right?"
Tanya snorted, "Humph. Whatever...oh I have to get off the phone, a hot body is waiting on me in my hotel room."
Shizuma blinked, "wow, it's just the afternoon! What girl did you trick into falling for you now?"
"A hot blonde," Tanya whispered as another voice was heard in the background. "Now I have to go, bye!"
Shizuma hesitated to hang up the phone and she pressed her ear back up to it and she blushed at what she heard.
"Oh, so you like it when I touch you there huh?"
"Oh yes Tanya, yes!"
"Well you're gonna love this..."
"Uh, oooh aaah... faster-"
Shizuma hung up the phone and threw it on the bed her face completely red.
That baka, why couldn't she remember to hang up!?!
Nagisa noticed that Shizuma's face was red but she was still mad at Shizuma from earlier so she said nothing.
Shizuma noticed that Nagisa was staring at her and she smiled slightly but Nagisa turned away.
["Looks like you're still mad huh?"]
Nagisa turned around and folded her arms. ["Yes I am."]
Shizuma sighed, ["It was just a joke, you did the same thing to me."]
["They didn't take pictures of you!"]
There was a hint of irritation in Shizuma's voice, ["no, but those boys got both of us on video!"]
["It was all because of you immaturity!"]
Shizuma's eyebrow rose, ["My immaturity? Who was the one who took my bikini top off huh?"]
Nagisa narrowed her eyes, ["well you started it!"]
Shizuma stood, ["No I didn't!"]
["Did too!"]
["Did not!"]
["Did too times four!!"]
["Did not times five!!"]
["Did too times infinity!!!"]
Shizuma sighed and plopped back on the bed, ["look at us, we're bickering like two little children!"]
Nagisa sighed and sat down next to Shizuma, ["yeah, you're right... on both accounts. I'm sorry."]
Shizuma took Nagisa's hand and kissed it, ["I'm sorry too. How about we forget about this, I have something to tell you."]
Nagisa lifted an eyebrow, ["what?"]
The silver haired ex-Etoile smiled, ["I know you like water a lot so, we're going to the water festival."]
A cheerful grin spread across Nagisa's face, "Great, I can't wait!"
Shizuma giggled at Nagisa's childish like behavior. She had found it very cute and it added to her charm. Unconsciously she put her hand up to Nagisa's cheek and gently caressed it.
"You're so cute," Shizuma said.
Nagisa blushed and took Shizuma's hand into her own. She looked down deeply flattered. The way the redhead looked made Shizuma giggle a bit.
She's like a child, so innocent and carefree.
Shizuma's phone then rang and she turned from Nagisa to answer it.
"Hello Tanya, what's up?"
"I just had the most amazing time!"
Shizuma lifted an eyebrow and looked at her phone.
"What? It's only been a thirty minutes!"
Tanya giggled, "I didn't say that was done, just taking a short water break eh heh."
Nagisa leaned over, resting her head on Nagisa's shoulder and listening in on the conversation.
Shizuma scoffed, "yeah right, you know you're done. You're the type who wouldn't last through a whole lunch break, much less sex!"
Nagisa laughed even though she was blushing.
"Shut up," Tanya muttered, "I can last! I wouldn't mind proving it either."
"Prove it to your girl over there because I'm taken dear," Shizuma responded without hesitation. "Sorry Tani."
Tanya laughed on the other line, "I was just kidding around with you, I know that you're taken."
Shizuma looked at Nagisa and flashed a smile, "Just checking, heh."
An unknown voice was heard, "Get off the phone sweetie; I have a surprise for you."
Tanya's voice changed, sounding more smooth and seductive. "Okay, I'll be right there. Uh, I gotta go, and tell Nagisa I said hi."
Tanya's line clicked off before Shizuma could respond. She turned to Nagisa and sighed, shaking her head. ["Wait until you meet her, she's MUCH more worse."]
Nagisa shook her head, ["She reminds me of Yaya. She was the perverted type too." Nagisa then looked at Shizuma for a while. "To tell you the truth, this Tanya reminds me of you a while back, when you had the playgirl image going on."]
Shizuma laughed, ["Heh, I was nowhere near Tanya, it seemed like she had a different girl for every day of the week. This has been her longest relationship now."]
["How long?"] Nagisa asked curiously.
["It's been six months now."]
Nagisa stood up and laughed, ["Wow, that's a long time."]
When she turned around she saw Shizuma typing on the computer, her eyes locked on the screen. She was hunched over with her legs crossed as her fingers danced across the keyboard.
Nagisa sighed knowing that Shizuma probably did hear anything that she had just said. Instead she went into the bathroom and took a shower.
The next day, the two of them left the hotel late, since they would be spending a couple more days in the city. The first place they went to was the Golden Gate Park where Shizuma could let Nagisa go crazy and take all of the pictures she wanted. To tell the truth, Shizuma was interested in the park herself because she had never been there herself. The diverse plant life interested her. She thought that the many colors flowed together nicely.
After spending some time in the Park they chose to eat lunch in Chinatown. Shizuma knew to eat at a buffet rather than an expensive restaurant. Nagisa appetite was enormous and the ex-Etoile's wasn't.
Nagisa gasped as she looked at the tables of food, ["It's….beautiful!"]
Shizuma giggled, ["Hold on dear, we have to get our seats first."]
Nagisa nodded as the two of them stepped in line. The silver haired woman chose to let Nagisa speak this time, she need to practice her English more. Once they were seated, the redhead dashed for the buffet, leaving her purse on the table.
Shizuma sat down, watching as Nagisa zoomed around the buffet. She was certain that the redhead would come back with two plates. When Nagisa had made it back Shizuma took her turn. Shizuma didn't take long to pile her plate with all of her favorite foods.
By the time the silver haired woman made it back to her seat Nagisa had already demolished half of her first plate.
Shizuma's eyes widened as she placed her plate on the table. ["Good lord Nagisa, you're a monster!"]
Nagisa pointed her fork at Shizuma's mountain of a plate. ["You're one to talk, you just put everything I had on one plate!"]
Shizuma shrugged, ["what can I say, I have a fast metabolism."]
After a long day of visiting museums and taking pictures Nagisa and Shizuma were worn out. As soon as the two of them got back to their hotel room they went to sleep.
"Oh...my god!"
Nagisa opened her eyes to the sound of Shizuma's voice and the sound of her fingers making contact with the keyboard. The sleepy redhead sat up and looked at the clock and groaned at the time. It was 6:15 in the morning.
Shizuma who was sitting with her legs crossed and hunched over her laptop noticed her girlfriend stirring. She took her cell phone off of her ear and smiled at Nagisa.
["Oh forgive me, I didn't mean to wake you. I'll go into the next room."]
Nagisa was too sleepy to even ask why Shizuma was up so early. With an intelligible response she put her hand back down and slept.
Hours later she woke up to find Shizuma watching her with a smile. She put her hand through her hair, stroking it gently.
["Morning love."]
A sleepy smile graced Nagisa's features, ["Morning ShiShi-chan."]
The sound of Shizuma's phone interrupted their peaceful morning. The silver haired woman sighed and got out of the bed, cursing as she walked over to her cell phone.
"Hello Tanya."
"Sorry to bother you again, but I have good news."
"So you snagged the deal this time huh?"
"Yep! I didn't wake you up at 4am for nothing."
Shizuma yawned, "Okay, that's good then."
"Well that was all I wanted to say, tootles!"
"Goodbye."
Shizuma hung up the phone and slumped into the nearest chair. She put her hand on her forehead as she sighed. Nagisa sat up and slid to the edge of the bed.
["Shizuma-chan?"]
Shizuma looked up at Nagisa and smiled, ["ah, don't worry about me…I'm just a little tired."]
Nagisa frowned and Shizuma got up and walked over to her. The silver haired woman then put her hand on Nagisa's head and ruffled up her hair.
["Don't be such a worry wart."]
Shizuma looked into Nagisa's eyes and kissed her softly on the lips. Nagisa closed her eyes as the kiss deepened, wrapping her arms around Shizuma's neck.
Unfortunately before the two of them could go any further, Nagisa's phone rang. The redhead blinked as she looked at the caller id.
["Tamao,"] Nagisa muttered.
Shizuma lifted an eyebrow, ["Hm, what could she want?"]
Nagisa shrugged as she answered. ["Hello?"]
["Hi Nagisa-chan, how are you? I heard that you've gone to America to live with her."]
The redhead could tell that that Tamao put a lot of emphasis on the word 'her'. Ever since the day of the Etoile elections, the blue haired girl was never able to mention Shizuma's name without a painful look crossing her face.
Nagisa bit her lip as Shizuma silently listened in.
["I'm doing great, how about you?"]
There was slight delay in Tamao's response. ["Uh…yeah, I'm fine. I'm starting my next book now."]
["Oh yeah…that's great!"]
Nagisa felt embarrassed that she had forgotten that Tamao was a writer. She was very talented in the art of the written word. The once bookworm had become a well known novelist.
["So, how is it in America? Is it any different from here?"]
Nagisa laughed, ["The cars are bigger and they drive on the wrong side of the road, but other than that it's the same. I have seen some pretty amazing things her in California."]
Tamao laughed on the other line. ["Well that's good, I-I'm…I'm happy for you."]
Nagisa knew that Tamao was staining to have this conversation with her. She knew that every time she spoke with her best friend there was a struggle.
Oh Tamao-chan…
["Well um, Nagisa-chan, I have to go now…I'll talk to you later. Oh, and tell… Shizuma-san I said hi."]
["Okay, bye Tamao-chan."]
["Bye."]
Nagisa sighed as she closed her phone and looked at Shizuma. "Let's go out tonight."
Shizuma lifted an eyebrow, "Okay."
The silver haired woman picked up her phone and looked through it for a few minutes.
"I've found the perfect place."
Nagisa glanced at the time, "So what are we going to do for all these hours."
Shizuma smiled, "I hope you don't mind doing absolutely nothing."
"Nope," Nagisa said as she lay back down on the bed.
Shizuma jumped onto the bed and pulled Nagisa into her arms, hugging her tightly. She then kissed her on the forehead.
"I could do this all day."
Good lord this was long! I never thought that this chapter would end up being ten pages! Oh well, I still had a lot of fun in this chapter^^
