DISCLAIMER: The song "Castaway" of 5 Seconds of Summer and "Move Along" by All American is obviously not mine.
CHAPTER THREE
Sweat rolled onto Natsuki's temple as she strung her electric guitar for the fourth song. Losing herself in the lyrics—she closed her eyes and sang.
Young love, close the chapter, there's no ever after
Fell fast, ended faster, yeah
Oh, ohh
Late night conversations, lend to complications
Now my heart is in my hands
Oh, ohh
But you walked out and left me stranded
Nothing left but picture frames
And I just keep on asking myself
Crimson eyes flashed beneath her consciousness making Natsuki gripped her guitar harder than necessary. Her heart skipped a beat as Natsuki remembered their shared kiss making her miss the next note. Natsuki cursed loudly. She combed her hair with her hands as she blew a breath of frustration.
"This is the third time you missed, Natsuki. Maybe you should take a break." Cara said quietly. Ever since the night of their bonding, Natsuki's been too irritated to approach. Everybody from her management team had been trying to avoid her path—too afraid to be the recipient of her infamous temper.
Knowing that Cara was dead on, Natsuki nodded to her band to let them know that it's okay to take a break. As she watched everybody leave, Natsuki took off her guitar as she walked towards her best friend.
Noting Natsuki's rigid back, she took out a bottle of water in the container beside her to give it to Natsuki. Hearing the woman settle down beside her, Cara let the woman drink her water before she asked Natsuki.
"What's up?" Cara asked casually.
Natsuki glanced at the woman beside her; Cara's blue eyes were unyielding as if trying to read her thoughts. Growing up with her, Natsuki almost knew all the things that passed through the woman's mind but this time, her firm gaze was unreadable.
Uncomfortable, Natsuki tore her eyes from Cara to look at her water bottle. Natsuki knew that deep inside, Cara is worried and she could trust the blonde with anything—but is she ready to spill her unwanted thoughts to the woman?
"Earth to Natsuki?" The bluenette shook off her thoughts and she sighed. Decided to be stubborn, Natsuki only shrugged.
"It's nothing." A hard swat came down on her head and Natsuki yelp.
"Bollocks! I could almost see a steam coming out of your head since last night!" Cara squinted her eyes to her. "Do I really have to force it out of you?" She warned Natsuki.
Natsuki gave her a death glare that could scare even the most notorious director—but seeing that her best friend was not budging, she decided that Cara was probably immuned to it, so Natsuki just groaned out of defeat.
"I fucked up," The bluenette whispered.
Surprised, Cara asked Natsuki quickly. "What? Why?"
Natsuki swallowed hard, seeing that her best friend was struggling—Cara stroked Natsuki's back. "I kinda over reacted last night." Ashamed of herself, Natsuki looked down, as if she was trying to hide her eyes.
"What happened?" Cara stopped herself from being worried because she knew that her best friend wouldn't hurt anybody on purpose.
Natsuki grimaced at Cara's question. She's pretty sure that Cara will get mad once she admitted what she did to her crush last night. Thinking about Shizuru, she blushed. Natsuki glanced again at the woman beside her, seeing that Cara was waiting for her—Natsuki sighed heavily.
Natsuki cowered with every word she said to the woman beside her. She could almost glimpse her life flashing as she watched Cara narrowed her eyes at her. With everything out in the open, Natsuki gave Cara an ashamed smile. "I know I fucked up okay? That's why I'm actually admitting it out wide open."
Cara just shook her head. "Not all women are like her Natsuki," The older girl stiffened at her statement. "Listen—,"
"Could we just not talk about her?" Natsuki gritted her teeth. Just thinking about that—makes her see blood.
"We both know that she's the main reason why you overreact every time there's someone who will question your sexuality!" Cara hissed.
"What's there to talk about huh?" Natsuki roared, she could almost feel the same humiliation she experienced because of that "girl". "Do you want to reminisce my humiliation when she denied us to the public? That she's not into homosexuals like me? Nope, Cara, I'm done with that shit. I moved on for fuck's sake!"
Cara calmly watched her loose her temper, she knew that Cara wasn't trying to piss her but she was getting pissed nonetheless. After a few beats and an almost lifetime of staring contest, Cara spoke softly.
"Clearly, you haven't moved on Natsuki." With clarity in her best friend's voice—Natsuki almost sobbed but she stopped herself. She was done with the pity party; she won't let that bitch hurt her again.
"I know that I'm wrong Cara. I reacted badly that's why I'm talking to you right now. I want to make this right." Natsuki closed her eyes—trying to shut away unwanted thoughts.
"If you wanted to make it right, you need to accept that it's still hurting you." Cara watched her best friend heaved a breath. Sensing that with another push, Natsuki will finally see her reason.
"You can't let her rule your life Natsuki." The bluenette's arm trembled beneath her touch and her best friend cursed loudly as she combed her hair with frustration.
"Can you blame me, Cara? Every time I see Shizuru, she reminded me of her mother. The same person who actually rallied against my concert just because I'm a fucking gay, she humiliated me as if I'm—". Natsuki struggled for words.
"Natsuki," Cara whispered sadly. Cara could still remember the devastation on her best friend's face when Shizuru's mother gathered people to protest Natsuki's concert because of her sexuality.
Shizuka Fujino was a well-known person against LGBT community. With her influence and money, Shizuka Fujino can't be easily ignored. She is a well-known senator who was always against pro-LGBT bills that were always being raised in the congress and she always makes sure that her belief will always be heard. The woman even made sure that everybody will know how much she loathes Natsuki's concert and she made a big ruckus about it.
"I still can't understand why some people here are still not open about homosexuality—it's the twentieth century now for fuck's sake." Natsuki frustratingly said.
Cara smiled sadly and she stared absentmindedly in front of her. She can relate wholeheartedly to her best friend. When she finally outed herself as a bisexual, most of the people in the modeling industry weren't happy about it. Some were clearly disgusted at the thought of she's having a relationship with the same gender and most of them were irritatingly curious how homosexuals have sex with their mate—as if they were different from other humans. Cara sighed; it seems that the industry is not yet ready for change—or rather reality.
"But what you did to Shizuru was not right. You should apologize, Natsuki."
"I know okay," Natsuki pouted. "I really hate it when you're right."
Cara giggled. "I wonder what will happen to you if you haven't met me."
"I bet that my life would be much fun and adventurous." Natsuki quipped.
"And I bet that within a year you'll eventually end up in jail." Natsuki shoved her and Cara laughed loudly.
After few minutes of teasing each other, the laughter died down into a comfortable silence. "But seriously Natsuki, you must apologize."
The bluenette rolled her eyes to Cara. "Yeah, yeah," Natsuki mumbled. Realizing her creeping nervousness, she fidgeted. "I'm kinda nervous."
"You actually kissed the woman and now you're nervous!" Cara said incredulously—and she quickly dodged the incoming smack of her best friend.
"Do you really have to rub it in my face?" Natsuki was red from embarrassment.
Cara laughed at her and shook her head. "But tell me," The blonde inched closer towards Natsuki. "How was the kiss?"
Natsuki shoved away her grinning best friend and she could feel her cheeks warm from embarrassment. She cleared her throat—suddenly aware of tightening of it, "Despite the circumstance, I believe it was awesome." Cara snorted. With her best friend's revelation, a warm fluttering feeling crawled inside Cara's heart. It's been so long, since the last time they talked like this—and she believed that it's been long overdue.
"Do you still see her around?" Cara asked warily.
"Who?" Natsuki answered—not totally aware of her best friend's purpose.
"The reason why you wrote your multi-platinum hit song "Move Along" that catapulted you into the rock star status." Cara watched her best friend's hand stilled, and waited for her reaction.
"Is she the reason why you suddenly came back?" Natsuki's voice was unreadable.
Surprised and caught, Cara smiled brightly to Natsuki. The bluenette just rolled her eyes and released a sigh of defeat.
"Luckily, we haven't crossed paths but I heard she's back." In cue—Natsuki's memories of her ex-girlfriend suddenly came back—their lazy days where they could just spend their day together without being interrupted by fans. Those light purple eyes that can instantaneously calm her raging temper, her light touches that can lit her skin as if it was on fire and her angelic voice that back then, Natsuki almost wished that she could drown herself in it. She knew that she already moved on but Natsuki wasn't ready to meet her.
It scared her to know what her reaction would be once she saw Anh Lu, standing right in front of her. Just thinking about it made her break into cold sweat. Unconsciously, she shivered—a warm hand squeezed her arm.
"It'll be alright Natsuki." Cara murmured.
"I can't believe that I'm saying this but I'm scared to see her," Natsuki said in a hushed voice.
"Why?" The blonde knew the reason but she needs Natsuki to voice out her fears to help her overcome it.
"I—I," Natsuki swallowed heavily and she gritted her teeth. The same familiar pain came crashing to her chest—but she tried to wrestle it. Without any warning, memories of her naked ex-girlfriend with a man in bed surfaced to her consciousness.
"It's humiliating to know that I wasn't able to give her needs. It's like I failed her." Natsuki said in a broken voice.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Flabbergasted, Cara threw her hands up. "She cheated on you and worst with a man, how did you manage to blame yourself?"
With frustration evident in her eyes, Natsuki closed her eyes to hide the pain. "She's not gonna cheat on me if—,"
"Bloody hell," Cara cursed at her—effectively shutting whatever nonsense reasons that Natsuki will spout. "Can you hear yourself, Natsuki?"
Beside Cara, Natsuki just grunted. She knew that she was being ridiculous—in fact, she was utterly stupid for thinking about it, but that was only the reason she could think of why Anh cheated on her.
"Look—," clearly pissed, Cara gripped her clammy hands. "Instead of blaming yourself, let's put it this way. Anh cheated because she can't fucking out herself as a fucking gay in public. So instead of being brave, Anh took an easy bloody way out. She fucking slept with a guy, and she bloody crushed your heart to make you go away—to steer away those fucking rumors that circled around you two. Now tell me, was it your fault that she's too damned scared to reach out what could have been the greatest fucking thing in her life?!"
With a broken laugh, Natsuki wiped away her tears. "That was a colorful way to use fuck in a sentence."
"Bite me," Cara huffed at her indignantly. Cara can't believe her best friend—Natsuki was beating herself because her ex-girlfriend cheated on her. "If my explanation wasn't enough, I would gladly beat some sense into that thick head of yours."
Natsuki chuckled at her best friend's antics. "I knew there was a reason why I still keep you around."
Cara snorted at her. "And I wonder why I still keep you around when you are such a slave driver." That made Natsuki laugh—and by just watching her laugh made Cara feel relieved. After all, she did manage to pull Natsuki away from those dark thoughts—decided, Cara promised to herself that she won't let Natsuki down again. Cara almost lost her best friend because of that bimbo—and she'll do anything to pull Natsuki up again.
"So what's the plan?" Cara gave Natsuki her brightest smile.
Natsuki looked at her questioningly, "What plan?"
"Plan to get back to Shizuru's good side." Natsuki shivered at Cara's toothy smile. "Ooh, boy. I'm in trouble," Natsuki thought to herself as she watched her best friend grinned at her.
"I can't believe you accepted that show without my approval." Despite her mother`s quiet demeanor, Shizuru shivered to her cold voice.
Shizuru cleared her throat. "I know that you'll try to stop me mother but I just wanted to help you in your upcoming election and this is a great opportunity for me as well."
Even though her mother won't admit it to her, Shizuka's homophobic remarks were hurting her place in the latest survey.
To her surprise, her mother scoffed at her concern. "I'm not worried child," Her piercing dark eyes held her crimson eyes. "I'm confident at the citizen of this country—what do you usually call them? Ah, those fags—,"
"Mother!" Shizuru quickly cut in before her mother could say anymore insult. She threw an apologetic glance at her manager, Yukino.
"Oh, I completely forgot about her." Her mother said without any remorse. Feeling embarrassed with her mother's attitude, Shizuru decided to leave—before her mother could do some permanent damage between her and her manager.
"I'll go ahead mother, we still have some appointments before we go to the studio," Shizuru vowed, and Yukino nodded to her mother. As usual, Shizuka ignored her manager as she bid her goodbye to her daughter.
Shizuru released a relieved sigh when they got in their car. Talking to her mother always leave a bad taste in her mouth. "I'm really sorry Yukino, I don't know how she can always find ways to insult homosexuals, and I mean it's like a talent of hers," Shizuru said exasperatingly.
Yukino laughed at her ridiculousness. "Don't worry about it Shizuru, her words doesn't offend me anymore." Despite her manager's brave front, Shizuru could still see a tiny glint of pain in her eyes.
"But I'm still sorry, Yukino. Next time, just wait for me here in the car. I really don't want to push you to your limit, besides," Shizuru started her car and she maneuvered her car out her mother's parking lot.
"I don't want you to quit on me, it's hard to find someone who could replace a trustworthy and professional talent manager with a lot of connections like you."
"Can you hear that Shizuru?" Yukino suddenly asked her.
"What? I can't hear anything?" Shizuru curiously peeked at the woman beside her.
"I can hear my ego inflating!" And Yukino laughed. Shizuru snorted beside Yukino—and a huge part of her was relieved that her friend/manager wasn't holding it against her.
Comfortable silence hung in the air as Shizuru drove to their destination. She knew that she's trying to ignore the fact that it will be the first time that she and Natsuki will be in the same place since the last time they saw each other.
Her heart skipped a few beats when she remembered their last encounter—her dark emerald eyes were flashing with fury but—still gorgeous despite of that dangerous aura emanating from the rock star. After the alteration, that night—Shizuru got into thinking.
As far as she remembered, Shizuru didn't do anything to offend the singer. She just turned down the woman when she brought up the possibility of being an item in their show—but the woman's reaction was outrageous. Shizuru knew that she showed surprised when the rock star asked her but Shizuru didn't do anything wrong to offend her—and that pissed Shizuru.
Shizuru didn't deserve to be treated like that—like she's like her mother. It's given that she's uncomfortable with homosexuals but she's treating them equally. In fact, most of her trusted friends are gay, so—why the animosity? Shizuru thought.
"You still haven't told me why Natsuki reacted like that." In that instant, the car swerved out of the lane dangerously. "Whoa!" Yukino yelped as she held on to the dashboard.
A series of horn blasted behind them as Shizuru tried to get back their car to its respective lane. A man rolled down his window and shouted angrily, "Lady Drivers!" and sped up past them.
"Give me break." Shizuru muttered to herself—she glanced at her manager, "Are you okay?" And Shizuru bit her lip to stop herself from smiling at Yukino. She got thrown from her seat—and currently climbing up while adjusting her glasses.
"Remind me not to ask you questions regarding Natsuki especially while you are driving." Yukino huffed.
"It's not about Natsuki—you startled me." Shizuru rationalized. Yeah, rationalized. Shizuru inwardly cringed at her choice of words.
Yukino raised her eyebrows to her and like a brat—Shizuru pouted. "Wow, I never knew that Shizuru could act like a diva huh."
"Oh, come on. Why can't a woman have privacy?" Shizuru whined—and that sounded very immature to Shizuru's ears.
"So there is something to keep private away from me." Yukino teased her.
Hook, line, and sinker—Shizuru moaned and blushed. Shizuru momentarily forgot that Yukino has a great way to pry secrets away from anyone.
"But seriously, Shiz—that woman is hot and I can't believe she actually admitted to public that she has a crush on you. Imagine that!" Yukino gushed while blushing. "If I didn't know that you are straight as Natsuki's gorgeous hair I'm pretty sure that you feel the same way!"
With that, Shizuru spouts a full grown blush. She knew that she had to stop her reaction but damn—just like what her manager said, Natsuki is hot.
"You are blushing." Astonished, Yukino was slack-jawed and Shizuru groaned—now she's caught and there's no way she could worm her way out of this.
"B—but you are straight." Still shock, Yukino mumbled.
"What? Can't a woman have a crush to a lesbian?" Shizuru said defensively.
"So you admit that you have a crush to Natsuki!" Yukino giggled.
Trapped, Shizuru grunted rudely to her manager. "Why it has to be an issue?"
"Who says it's an issue?" The mousy-haired woman fishily said.
"Damn it, you're doing that to me!" Shizuru frustratingly said.
"What!" Yukino laughed at her friend's discomfort.
"That voodoo thing! You're trying to hypnotize me to say things I shouldn't say!"
"You're being ridiculous, Shizuru." Yukino snorted at her and she adjusted her glasses. "But come on, tell me. As your manager, I had to right to know. What if the media got a wind of it? I have to be prepared to spin the story." Yukino convincingly said.
"For a minute, I actually believed you." Her manager protested and Shizuru raised her right hand to stop her. "Okay, okay. I'll tell you but you need to admit that you just want a juicy gossip about Natsuki."
" .not," Yukino said with a stern face.
"I'll tell Haruka about this if you won't admit—,"
"All right, all right! Geez! I'm pretty sure that Haruka would throw a fit if she ever got a wind of this! It's bad enough having to listen her calling Natsuki a Casanova—"
"Haruka actually managed to form a coherent sentence?" Yukino snorted.
"Technically, she said something else but I don't want you teasing her again so I'm going to keep it a secret so come on! Tell me already!" Yukino gushed.
"Fine, fine but I warn you—it's not exactly as what you think," Shizuru recalled what precisely happened between her and Natsuki. In a sense, Shizuru downplayed what she felt every time she sees the bluenette. She wanted to understand first what precisely Shizuru was feeling before she could name it. Even though Shizuru won't admit it to herself—what she feels for the rock star was scaring the heck out of her and her mother—would probably demand a public execution of them if she knew all of it.
"Wow." Yukino was completely speechless for a few seconds. "I can't believe that Natsuki kissed you."
"I can't believe it!" Stumped, Shizuru said vehemently. "I was technically harassed and you are gushing about her kiss! Get out!"
"Geez! I was just shocked but we can totally sue her, but I think Natsuki's lawyer will probably rip apart our case and spit on it once the jury sees the way you blush during your testimony."
Shizuru groaned out loud as she tries to hide her burning face. "Are you really my friend?"
Yukino chuckled. "There, there." She tapped Shizuru's back as if she was trying to console her. "I was just telling the truth and nothing but the truth."
"Oh, shut up! Enough with the jokes!" Shizuru swatted away Yukino's hand. "We are here, so cut it out!"
Shizuru pulled towards her usually parking space and she turned off the ignition of her car. Even though she could get a personal driver, Shizuru insisted that she can drive. She just wanted to enjoy simple things such as driving even though she's becoming popular.
As usual, Yukino got out first of the car and she circled her way at the back seat to open the door. She took her extra clothes and makeup kits. Most of the time, the producers were the ones who take cares of the clothes and costumes that the actresses and actors wore so each of them would just bring a spare clothes to wear once the shooting was done.
"You know what—,"
But Shizuru interrupted her. "I don't want to know so—,"
"I think you enjoyed the kiss," Yukino said.
Shizuru suddenly dropped her phone. Recognition rushed through her body, as she remembered Natsuki's lips on her own. Her breath hitched and her heart accelerated from her sudden thoughts. Shizuru opened her lips to deny it, but no sounds came out of her mouth—no, Shizuru wanted to say.
Shizuru locked gazes at her friend and panic crept inside her heart. Yukino seemed sure at her discovery to the fact she rendered her friend speechless. Shizuru swallowed hard, she was just overwhelmed at the rock star's presence and attention, it didn't mean anything—and she stopped dead.
She enjoyed every second of it.
.screwed. Shizuru said to herself.
"Hey don't stress yourself out. It's pretty normal for a straight woman to get curious once in a while, so no big deal." Yukino said in a matter-of-factly.
"That is not what you think—,"
"Hello," Shizuru almost jumped when a voice called behind their back. She glanced back to see who hollered. Adrenaline rushed through her blood when she saw Natsuki behind Cara—she wasn't prepared for this. She could barely control her emotions when Yukino dumbstruck her with the truth—let alone see the woman who wrecked her emotions in just one kiss.
''Hi! You are Cara, right? Wow, it's nice to finally meet you! I'm Shizuru's talent manager, Yukino." Both women shook hands. Seizing the moment, Shizuru quickly composed herself.
"Nice to meet you, Yukino. I'm with Natsuki here. I just wanted to see the set and see the crew in action." Cara smiled sweetly to them. "By the way, I was wondering—do you know Haruka?"
"Yes, she's my girlfriend. Is there something wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong. It's just that you are legendary." Cara wistfully said.
"Why? What did I do?" Yukino was completely caught off guard.
"Because you can shut Haruka up with just one glare!" Cara grinned at them.
Shizuru suddenly snorted, and eventually laughed first. Yukino glared at her friend but she too cracked a smile. "You are one of hers?" Yukino asked good-naturedly.
Cara nodded to the woman. "Yes, the Armitage Agency in UK branch is handling me but right now I'm on one month vacation. Thank god, they let me have a free time." And she winked at her.
Natsuki watched the interactions in front of her—particularly Shizuru's infectious smile. Natsuki was almost sure that the woman went rigid when Shizuru saw her—and it made Natsuki guilty. Big time.
Deciding to get done with their purpose, Natsuki cleared her throat to get everybody's attention. Finally remembering what their plan was, Cara smiled sheepishly. "Uh, yeah, well Excuse me for the interruption but Natsuki here wanted to talk to Shizuru."
A strangled noise came out of Shizuru—off all the reasons, why it has to be that? Shizuru muttered to herself. "I apologize but I don't really want to talk to you Natsuki. Excuse me." Without waiting for their reaction, Shizuru turned her back on them—leaving them stunned.
Natsuki watched the woman's retreating back—she had no idea that Shizuru would react that way. Quickly recovering, Natsuki followed her. She has to talk to her, to apologize—she just wanted Shizuru to look at her again without getting scared or hurt.
"Wait Shizuru!" Bewildered, Shizuru quickly stopped—she glanced at the woman who was following her. "Look, Natsuki—,"
"I'm sorry, Shizuru." The bluenette was panting softly, she had no idea that the woman can walk so fast. "Please, just listen." Gathering her courage, Natsuki took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for being a jerk, for suddenly jumping with guns—for being so damn defensive about my sexuality."
Natsuki watched Shizuru's crimson eyes widen with surprise—making her more determined to continue. "I'm not gonna make excuses for what I'd done but I wanted to tell you—to make you understand that I'm not usually super sensitive about it. I'm really, really sorry about uh—kissing you without your consent. Oh, crap—I'm not really good at expressing my feelings but I was seriously scared of what would be your reaction about the possible team up because I have a huge crush on you—and I think I have to shut up now because I'm making a fool out of myself." Natsuki was flush in red as she clamped her mouth shut.
Equally red, Shizuru looked away from the young woman in front of her. She can't believe that the rock star has a crush on her—one of the most sought bachelorette has a freaking crush on her. Her heart accelerated and doing flip flops in her chest—No, Shizuru protested internally. Be still you traitor. Shizuru debated to herself internally.
Natsuki watched the internal struggle of the woman in front of her. What a great way to scare her, Natsuki. You dimwit! The rock star grimaced—she had to say something—needed to or Shizuru would pass out from so much blood in her face.
"Listen—let's just pretend I didn't say that okay? I mean it's just a crush no big deal right?" Natsuki smiled awkwardly.
No big deal? My heart is probably racing fifty miles per hour—so yeah, no big deal. Shizuru said to herself. Forcing herself to calm down, she locked gazes to Natsuki's apologetic gaze and she almost bit her lips. Just looking at Natsuki's dark smoldering gaze was no big deal. No big deal, indeed.
Shizuru too—smiled awkwardly. "Apology accepted." Silence hung between them and they just stared at each other.
Natsuki cleared her throat before she spoke. "Can we start over again?" A hopeful glint passed through her eyes.
Shizuru thought that it would be very hard to say no to those dark pleading emerald orbs so she found herself smiling softly at the rock star. Shizuru nodded and said, "I'm Shizuru Fujino, full-time model of Armitage Agency." Her tawny locks of hair bounce softly when she bowed at Natsuki.
Warmth spread through Natsuki's chest when her eyes roamed at Shizuru's relaxed demeanor. Natsuki bowed back, before introducing herself. "Natsuki Kuga, not usually a jerk and a rock singer." And she grinned at Shizuru.
"Finally!" Both women looked back at the source and they both saw Yukino and Cara smiling at them.
"Did she accept your apology Shorty?" Cara elbowed Natsuki. "Sorry about her Shizuru, she's not usually a jerk, I promise."
"Don't call me Shorty!" Natsuki pushed away Cara—not sure if she was pissed at them for breaking the moment.
Shizuru laughed softly and nodded. "Yes, I had to accept her apology. I really had no choice—she forced me to listen to her explanation."
Natsuki protested. "What?!"
"She's just messing up with you, Kuga." Yukino rolled her eyes to Shizuru.
"Ikezu!" Shizuru pouted and she caught Natsuki's gaze at her lips. Yes, Natsuki is not usually a jerk.
"Come on now guys, we don't want to be late. I was told that Miss Maria will be there, and we don't want her getting pissed at your first scene together." Yukino nodded towards their destination.
Giving them time to adjust, Cara took Yukino's arm and they walk side by side—chatting ahead of them. Grateful for her best friend's understanding—Natsuki gestured Shizuru to walk with her.
Suddenly shy, Shizuru smiled softly to her and nodded. With their every step, Shizuru could hear her heart beating madly. Stealing a glance beside her, Shizuru could see the bluenette's swaying hips as she walked beside her. Her crimson eyes roamed at Natsuki's tight-fitted skinny jeans—she unconsciously swallowed, surely it is considered a crime that someone can be so damn sexy in that simple white v-neck shirt.
"Shizuru—," Natsuki stopped dead when she suddenly looked at Shizuru. Natsuki caught Shizuru's burning gaze roaming over her body—and Natsuki's body sprang to life. It was too hard to deny that both of them can feel the tug of attraction—those electric sparks that flew every time their eyes met. Natsuki knew when a woman is sexually interested in her and this woman in front of her—is very much interested.
"It seems they don't need to work on their chemistry." Miss Maria said wryly.
"Damn," Natsuki cursed when Shizuru blushed at being caught. Screw being nice and slow—she'll show exactly Shizuru how much chemistry they have.
To be continued…
