Harada woke with a pounding head ache the next morning. "What happened?" she asked herself as she flung herself to her side and grabbed her cell phone flipping it open ten missed calls and one voice message all from Risika. Go figure. "God" Harada moaned as she listened to the voice mail.
"You need to call me! You have some explaining to do!"BEEP
Harada closed the phone and closed her eyes as she suddenly remembered what had happened. She lifted her hand looking at it. Saku… he had kissed her hand and then asked her to dance with him! She hadn't noticed but her heart had started to pound within her chest. Harada crawled out of bed and opened her door yawning she looked down to see a single red rose and a card. Harada looked at it oddly before picking it up reading the card.
"I had a wonderful time with you last night, until we meet again my sweet Harada."
–Saku Orion
Harada jaw dropped. Had something more happened last night? No! She would never spoil herself. No like that at least… Harada shook her head and walked in placing the rose and card on the counter top before she went out to her balcony it seemed about noon and she couldn't believe she had slept in. Thank god it was Saturday. Harada leaned back against the wall closing her eyes and yawning what was on the agenda today? Call Risika? Or risk going outside and running into Edward or worse Saku. She didn't feel like doing either but she didn't want to stay home. Might as well pick up shifts at the local diner? No, she wasn't in any mood to take orders from whining impatient customers. Harada sighed heavily. Edward… Harada shook her head it was better then doing nothing and it wasn't like they weren't friends. She retreated back into her apartment and grabbed her cell phone as she slowly dialed up his number and held it to her ear. The phone ringed for what seemed like forever and she held her breath until a voice came through the other line.
"Hello?"
"Edward?"
"Harada?"
"Um…" Harada muttered quietly. "Want to hang out today?" she swore she heard Jacob in the background encouraging him on.
"S-sure." Edward stuttered obviously in complete shock that she had even called let alone asked to hang out.
"Alright meet me at the park at six." Harada told him back and hung up. Risika groaned looking at the clock, what was she going to do for five hours? She sighed a bit as she went to the bathroom taking her clothes off as she looked at herself in the mirror she got an eerie feeling as she brushed the hair away from her neck looking at it. No bite marks,she stopped. Vampires? Get a grip! "What are you thinking?" she murmured as she got into the shower. When she was done she got dressed and left her apartment heading out towards the park. When she got there she saw Edward sitting on the park bench and she lightly waved at him. Edward jumped up from the bench walking over to her.
"Hey." he said shyly.
"Hey.." Harada replied as they began walking. As they walked the silence killed her, "So, are you pissed at me too?" Harada asked.
"About what?" Edward asked.
"About Saku and I." Harada whispered she saw Edward's jaw tighten and he flexed his hand into a fist.
"Not at you, at him a little annoyed." Edward replied. Harada held a giggle. "What?" he asked seeing the look at her face.
"Nothing!" Harada gasped with a light smile. They continued walking before sitting at the top of a hill watching the sunset. "Well, today went by fast." Harada said sighing.
"Yeah..." Edward said quietly looking over at Harada as her hair blew back in the wind. He gulped and gathered his courage as he placed his hand on top of hers. Harada jumped just a bit surprised
"Edward-?" Harada asked turning her face to look over at him and her eyes widened as his face was only inches from hers.
"Harada.." Edward whispered leaning forward pressing his lips against hers. Harada was surprised but didn't resist as she kissed him back. His lips were fierce, strong. They wanted no, they desired her. Edward brought his arms around her waist pulling her closer as he kept his lips crushed against hers. After several minutes he pulled away blushing.
"Sorry." Edward whispered rubbing the back of his head.
"No it's okay, don't apologize." Harada said catching her breath blushing a bit herself.
"Well let me walk you home." Edward said standing up offering his hand to her and smiling as she took it. They smiled and laughed as he walked her back to her apartment but as they walked a angry set of glowing eyes watched them from the shadows.
"You can't have her, she's mine." the low voice hissed viciously.
