CHAPTER 4
"I know that you are very much gay, Miss Viola and I 'am very much interested in you," Nao leaned closer to Shizuru's uncomfortable gaze. "So we might as well explore it while we can."
Shizuru blushed when she saw Nao's tongue licked her lower lips. Nao's good—in fact, Shizuru's blush was totally real. Immersing herself in Shizumi's role, she took a step back.
"I don't know what you're talking about Miss Zhang I'm sorry but I have to go," Like in the script, Shizuru tried to push away Nao to get away from her but the red head pinned her against the wall. Trapped, Shizuru shrunk away from the woman in front of her—effectively playing her role.
"Forcing yourself to a woman now, Zhang? And here I thought you're really popular with women, just like what you're telling me." A dark figure emerged behind Nao.
It was definitely not in the script but her heart danced at Natsuki's sight. "This doesn't concern you, Kruger," Nao said through clenched teeth.
Shizuru's mouth ran dry by just looking at how gorgeous Natsuki in gray turtle neck with a black vegan leather jacket. Shizuru's gaze traveled at the bluenette's hips adorned with faded skinny jean and white converse. Remembering her role, Shizuru knotted her eyebrows—as if trying to call for help. Natsuki's perfect eyebrow rose and she smirked at Nao.
"Sorry to break your momentum but she's with me right Miss Shizumi?" To emphasize her point, Natsuki called the woman by her first name. When Shizuru felt Nao loosen her arms around her, she quickly dodged it and—almost ran to her savior. More like trouble, in real life. Shizuru said to herself.
Nao crossed her arms around her and she smiled smugly to Natsuki. "Really now? When did you find your courage to out yourself Kruger?" Satisfaction was clearly seen in Nao's face when she saw Natsuki's grim face.
"Does it always have to be this way, Zhang?" Natsuki said. The disappointment was clearly evident in her voice.
"Don't lecture me about decorum Kruger when you don't even stay true to yourself." She scoffed at her. Following her cue to exit, Nao walk passed the two women but before she exits she looked back towards them to address Shizuru.
"It's easy to get what I want when people knows who really am I." Nao gave her a sexy grin while her lime eyes traveled at Shizuru's figure.
"I assure you, Miss Zhang," Shizuru steeled her crimson gaze towards Nao. "It will not be easy, especially when the other party is not totally interested in you."
Both women were left speechless when Shizuru left them. After a few beats, Natsuki chuckled and her gaze landed on Nao's astonished face. "Someone finally resisted that charm of yours Zhang?" She grinned at Nao's sharp glare.
"Well, gotta run. See you when I see you, Miss Irresistible." If looks can kill, Natsuki will die on the spot. Natsuki walked past at the red head's fuming face and for a few seconds, the camera followed her.
"CUT!"Yuuichi shouted and the crew around them worked for the next scene. "Dammit, Nao! I never knew that you could really act like a mean bitch!"
"This isn't bitchy Tate—I'm still trying to be nice." Nao drawled and gave a playful wink to Shizuru.
"Well, I don't want to see you on a bitchy day." Tate cringed at the thought of it. "Good job Shizuru…you too, Natsuki." The director rapped his clipboard. "You three are off for now—check Takeda for your next schedule. Randy! Call the extra's and make sure they know the drill! And make sure you prepare them in set 3!" Tate was still shouting orders while he walked away from them.
"Whew, finally we're done for the day!" Natsuki stretched her arms and her back popped from the tension.
"Thank god he didn't make us retake that scene again. It's hard to pretend like a bitch for the whole day—the negative vibes are too much." Nao took the bottled water that was offered to her by her assistant.
"What? You're just pretending?" Natsuki yelped when Nao punched her in the shoulder. For someone petite, Nao packed a punched.
Shizuru smiled at the two women. Someone cleared a throat behind them and they all glanced back.
"Y-Y-You're next s-schedule is on Friday, five thirty in the m-morning." The young man was seriously blushing.
"Did you hear that Natsuki?" Nao snickered at the rocker.
"Of course not, Nao. He's freaking sixty meters away from me." Natsuki countered sarcastically.
"Thank you Takeda—and don't mind them. They're just hungry." Both women scoffed at her while she grinned at the smiling man.
The four of them walked back to their trailers while chatting amenably. Watching Shizuru, Natsuki was trying to find her courage to ask the woman out. She knew that it'll be too soon but Natsuki doesn't want to end this day yet.
"Hey, Shizuru," Natsuki called her.
"Yes?" The woman smiled at her softly. Damn, those eyes are lethal. Natsuki said to herself—trying to stop herself from blushing.
"You wanna have dinner with me?" The group suddenly stopped walking except for Natsuki. "What?" She asked at the gaping Nao and Takeda.
Blushing, Shizuru quickly closed her own mouth—trying to settle her wild beating heart. "I would love to but…" She gave Natsuki an apologetic smile.
"You already have plans?" Disheartened, Natsuki scratched her nape.
"Yes, but I'm free this coming Friday. If you like to…after…" Shizuru said shyly.
"Yes!" Natsuki tried to hide her excitement. Smooth, Natsuki—very smooth. She cleared her throat before answering. "You can bring your clothes or we can just go to your house so you can change in something comfortable but—,"
"Stop blabbering, Natsuki! You're going to ruin it!" Nao interrupted her.
"Sorry," Natsuki laughed awkwardly.
Shizuru looked at her fondly. When they first met, she thought that the rocker was just talented hollow person—but after their few encounters, she knew that the woman was humble enough to apologize for her mistakes. It makes Shizuru think that they must be a very deep reason why Natsuki suddenly became defensive at her sexuality.
"Takeda, I was actually rooting for you! When are you going to ask Natsuki for a date?" Nao elbowed the young man.
Takeda has a crush on Natsuki? Shizuru suddenly frowned, feeling a brief stab of jealousy. But she's a lesbian, and the last time I heard, she has a crush on me. Shizuru thought with an irritation.
"Shut up, Nao!" Natsuki hissed.
"D-Don't worry about it, Natsuki. It's just a c-c-c-crush." Takeda stammered while blushing.
"Come on, Takeda! Don't let Nat—," Nao was gearing for a witty comeback when a man called behind them.
"Shiz," Reito appeared beside her and the man casually rested his hand on her shoulder. The man nodded at her companions.
"You're early. Are we leaving already?" Shizuru gazed at the man beside her—taking in his boy-next-door look.
The man nodded. "Yes, we still have to go to your house remember?"
"Oh, you're right." Shizuru returned her attention to them and she was overwhelmed at Natsuki's dark emerald eyes. For some unknown reason, her burning gaze was making Shizuru uncomfortable.
"We need to go now. Thank you for today." Shizuru bowed. Takeda bowed back and Nao waved at them while Natsuki just grunted.
"Every time I see her, she just gets grumpier and grumpier," Reito said dryly while holding her back to guide her towards his car. "I bet she's jealous—oomph!" Reito grimace when Shizuru elbowed her in his ribs.
"Would you mind your own business?" Shizuru glared at him—completely irritated at his sudden appearance. Annoyed, Shizuru huffed and left him rubbing his stomach.
"I didn't know that crankiness can be contagious," Reito mumbled to himself.
"I heard that!" Shizuru singsong as she opened the passengers' door.
"Why do women always hit me? Literally?" Reito mumbled to himself as he circled to the drivers' seat.
Natsuki watched the exchange between the two and she could feel her stomach churning. She wasn't supposed to feel this—for god's sake, the woman is straight. She learned her lesson, and falling in love with a straight woman is like welcoming trouble in her own backyard—and worse, heartache.
"Jane ordered Chinese take out for us. Let's go." Nao said while she avidly watched her friends' reaction to the sudden appearance of Kanzaki. The red hair became worried for Natsuki when she saw a flash of sadness in those emerald eyes.
Natsuki nodded and she followed her friend towards her trailer. Each actress has their own trailers, hers was beside Nao's trailer. On their way to their trailers, the crew was telling them their goodbyes and thanking them for their good work. Natsuki thought that it will be hard for her to try her first acting gig, but it turns out that she got a knack for it. She spent two weeks in acting workshop—of course, courtesy of Miss Maria and after the assurance of the instructor, Natsuki didn't have to finish the whole session. She dives straight to her first prime-time series.
Nao opened the door of her trailer and they both moaned at the smell of their food. Natsuki shrugged out of her jacket, as Nao dropped on the couch to reach for a carton of food. "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow."
One by one, Nao opened the cartons to find something that she would like to eat. "Jane please get yours',—" Natsuki seated in front of Nao and—she too opened one of the cartons. "Or I won't be able to stop eating all of these."
Choosing yang chow rice topped with several dumplings, Natsuki took a pair of chopstick and she dove in her food. Nao's assistant, Jane took one without looking at its contents while Nao continued to grumble about her diet.
"You are not fat Nao so why don't you just choose one and eat the damn thing." Natsuki bit more of her food with much gusto.
"Easy for you to say," The red haired woman settled for noodles and to Natsuki's relief—ate her portion.
"You don't even have to work out for your lean body," Nao grumbled. "Life is really unfair."
Natsuki rolled her eyes to the whining woman. "Try singing for three straight hours—even your damn tonsils will sweat."
"No wonder," Nao said dryly. "With all that jumping around in your every concert, it's like you're running on a treadmill for three hours. Lucky bastard."
"I thought you're not interested in watching my concerts." Natsuki teased her as she chewed her food.
Caught, Nao choked at food. She quickly tried to clear her throat as she fumbled for water. Jane pushed a bottle of water in her hand and she swallowed it continuously while Natsuki howled in laughter.
Panting, Nao threw her empty bottle to the laughing bluenette. "I'm not! Jane told me, right?" Nao glared at her assistant.
"Me?" Jane squeaked as she fumbled to fix her falling glasses. Nao shoot her with a deadly glare and her assistant nodded to the rock star. "Uhm, yes. I actually told her that."
"Whatever," Natsuki smirked. Even though Nao didn't want to admit, Natsuki would catch a glimpsed of her friend in her every concert. The red hair claimed that her genre of her songs was not her taste but sometimes, she could hear the red hair mumbling some of the lyrics of her songs and it warmed her heart.
Their eating resumed at a comfortable pace and they chatted, mostly of their next scene. Patting her stomach, Natsuki sighed happily. "Thanks for the food, Jane."
Nao's assistant smiled at her and resumed her typing on her laptop. Nao stretched on the couch, and she looked at the singer. "What's up with you and Shizuru? You were breathing fire to her yesterday and now you're all acting chummy together."
Natsuki snorted at her—not sure how to say what really happened, she shrugged at her friend.
"I can't believe it. After feeding you, you won't even tell me the truth." Nao pouted.
"I'm just being my usual self. An asshole." Natsuki shrugged nonchalantly. She doesn't really have anything to say, and in a way—she really acted like an over sensitive asshole.
"I hate to admit this but," Nao flicked her hair and crossed her arms over her chest. "You are anything but an asshole. So? Will you spill it or do I have to drag it out of you?"
"No. I won't tell anything." Natsuki smiled mysteriously to the red hair woman.
"Did you just said no to me?'' The woman said incredulously, her mouth is slightly gaping.
"Close your mouth, darling," Natsuki said in her British accent. She seldom let her accent show and when she usually let it show, it was because of sarcasm.
"I'm going to tell to Chie." Nao threatened her.
She just rolled her emerald eyes to her and in cue, her phone rang. Grateful for the interruption, Natsuki threw her most charming smile to her seething friend before answering the call. "Hello?"
"Nat-kun!" The person shouted from the other line. Natsuki grimaced and she muttered, speaking of the devil. "Of course it's me, Chie. You called my personal number."
"It's too early to be such a smart ass, Nat-kun. I need your help!" The brunette said.
"Chie! Natsuki's got somet—" Natsuki's hand flew to the red hair's mouth to stop it from humiliating her further.
"Is that Nao? Hello?!" The two women fumbled while Nao's assistant watched the two with amusement. Seeing that it'll be a while being the two friends will stop from their wrestling match, Jane took Natsuki's hand from her hand.
"They are currently engaged in a wrestling match, Chie." Jane chuckled. Nao pulled the bluenette's arm down when she saw Natsuki trying to reach for her phone.
"CHIE! NATSUKI'S HIDING SOMETHING FROM US!" Nao managed to shout before Natsuki could cover her mouth.
"WHAT THE HECK IS SHE HIDING?" Chie shouted back. Jane cringed—she quickly pressed the phone to activate the loudspeaker option to avoid Chie from breaking her eardrums.
"Now you've done it!" Natsuki took a pillow from the couch to hit her friend one last time before taking back her phone from Jane. Nao laughed—knowing that Chie is much more persistent from dragging out the truth from anyone, Nao felt like she won their battle.
"It's none of your damn business!" Natsuki shouted at the other line. She heard Chie shrieked as Natsuki assumed—dropped her phone from the other line.
"Did you just screech?" Natsuki snickered.
"I didn't," Chie answered after a few seconds. "I don't know how to scream."
"Really? I noticeably heard a womanly shriek." Natsuki quipped—obviously enjoying the sudden upper hand to their banter.
"That was a manly shout," Chie grunted. "Before I forgot, I badly need your help! My first act called sick, we need you here. You're the only one I could call in such a short time. The place is gonna be jam pack, so it's a win-win situation for us."
Knowing that she managed to avoid Chie's possible intrusion, Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief. She's not yet ready to tell everyone about Shizuru. It took a lot of courage to tell Cara about their peculiar situation and it left Natsuki vulnerable—and vulnerability was not Natsuki's cup of tea.
"Win-win my ass, what's in for me?" Natsuki grinned, fully knowing that her friend would be flustered at her impending doom.
"Well, if you could call the reservation of a certain supermodel that you personally knew a win-win situation." Chie could almost see her friends' blush creeping into her cheeks and she grinned enthusiastically.
"Cara?" She will not blush. She will not give Nao satisfaction of seeing her bothered at the possibility of seeing Shizuru. Natsuki bit back a groan—she knew that she's caught and there's no way out of this.
"Fujino you dumb ass, so get your butt here! We need to rehearse!" Chie turned off here phone before Natsuki could react. Grinning with satisfaction, Chie took her electric guitar—and suddenly, looking forward to jam with her former band mates.
Natsuki slowly grinned—she would see Shizuru later. "Damn," Thrilled, Natsuki mumbled.
"What?" Nao asked curiously. The bluenette was seriously creeping her out.
"Chie's first act called in sick so we're gonna get together again to jam." To keyed up to settle down, took her jacket from the couch. "Well, I'm off. We need to practice first before they open up the lounge."
"Okay," Nao watched the rocker shrugged into her jacket. "I'll drop by later after my hot date."
Crap, Natsuki thought to herself. With Nao and Chie in the scene, Natsuki's pretty sure that they're going to make fun of her whole night once they saw Shizuru in the crowd. "You don't like my songs remember?"
"I don't like your songs but I like Chie's." Her perfectly shaped eyebrow raised in suspicion. There was definitely something going on here.
"I'm still the vocalist, you idiot." Natsuki rolled her eyes and nodded to her friend. "See you when I see you." Mimicking her character in the series.
"Bye, asshole." She laughed when the rocker raised her middle finger to as she closed the door behind her. "Let's see…" Nao took her phone from the table beside her and unlocked it. She scrolled down to find the contact number of Chie. She clicked it and after a few rings, the woman answered it.
"What did you tell her?" A mischievous smiled spread through her face as she listened to Chie's revelation as the woman rat out Natsuki to her. My, my Natsuki, you finally found someone interesting for you. Nao said to herself—a plan forming to her head.
Shizuru sighed for the umpteenth times. She knew that it will be fun when she finally relented at the couple's invitation—but watching Haruka and Yukino bicker for the whole ride was exhausting.
Totally annoyed, Shizuru lunged at the source of their squabble—the radio and she slapped the couple's hand away from it. "I'll choose the station for gods' sake!" Both women groaned when she continuously changed the station.
Her hand stilled when Natsuki's voice crooned—without warning, she felt her face heat up. Just a mere voice of the woman was making her blush like a school girl and it's making her somewhat embarrassed at how the rock star can evoke these emotions to her.
"Stop! It's one of my favorite!" Yukino shrieked when Haruka tried to struggle for the button. "Don't you dare Armitage!"
"What happened to good old classical songs?" Shizuru giggled at Haruka's pouting expression. At least, they stopped trying to kill each other.
Wake me up now, and tell me this is all a bad dream
All the songs that I wrote, all the wrongs that I hoped would erase from your memory
(erase from your memory)
Holding onto a broken and empty heart
Flowers I should've bought, all the hours I lost
Wish I could bring it back to the start
"Taking every breath away, with all of the mistakes I madeee." Yukino sang loudly which made her girlfriend cringed while Shizuru chuckled at them.
I hope you know, for you, I'd sacrifice
To make this right, whoa whoa…
The model closed her eyes, as the rocker's voice floated inside the car. Idly, she wondered whom Natsuki dedicated this song. She felt a stab of jealousy—whoever the girl was, she sure was lucky.
"We're here," Haruka pulled the handbrake and she turned off the ignition. Yukino and Shizuru opened their respective doors and got out simultaneously. Music Nut House was flashing above the establishment. It is one of the best bars to have fun if you are really into music—they always have a live band performing while chilling with your friends in your own private booth.
"I guess this would do, too bad I can't find a schedule of Natsuki's gig." Yukino pouted while she waited for her girlfriend to secure their car.
"Since you saw that Casanova, all I can hear from you is Natsuki that, Natsuki this. Do I have to be jealous?" Haruka grunted at her girlfriend.
"No need darling, Natsuki's eyes were set towards Shizuru's heart." The mousy-haired woman giggled when Shizuru protested weakly. They all knew how Natsuki asked their friend out and how the latter agreed—and Shizuru was pretty sure that she will hear it as long as they can rub it in her face.
"You two are incorrigible," Shizuru rolled her eyes. "I'll go ahead and confirm our reservation." She quickly left the two women before they could tease her more. A steady beat of drums can be heard inside the lounge as she walked towards the bar. In the corner of her eyes, she saw a few paparazzi took pictures of her as she progress towards the establishment. She's not really fond of them but she knew that publicity is a must for her career.
Two bouncers nodded to greet her. "Good evening Miss Fujino. Are you ready for your table?"
Shizuru looked back at her companions and seeing that they, too was ready—she nodded. One of the bouncers poked his head inside the door and after a few seconds, a voluptuous waitress smiled at them. "Please follow me, Ma'am."
The trio followed the waitress as their eyes take in their surroundings. As soon as they entered the bar, a series of drum beats, electric guitars, and bass guitar were playing simultaneously. Intoxicated at the hammering beats of music, a smile crept onto her face—after the nerve wracking meet up with Natsuki and that chaotic misunderstanding she can finally relax.
I don't even like you,
Why'd you want to go and make me feel this way? (What?)
Shizuru saw a group of women chanting with the vocalist. They were almost dancing, clearly enjoying the song. Momentarily forgetting their escort, Shizuru sang with the vocalist. "And I don't understand what's happened, I keep saying things I never say."
Shizuru's head whipped when the next lines of the song were sang by a familiar voice. Natsuki's hips were adorned with faded torn skinny jeans, red highcut converse. The devil herself was wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt that complemented Natsuki's pale complexion and glossy blue locks of hair. Shizuru's crimson eyes widened and breath stopped—her mind raced frantically but before she could for a coherent question, a surprised screech took her by surprised—that nearly made her stumble towards their escort.
"It's them! Oh my god!" Yukino was shrieking like a true fan girl.
"What? Who?" Confusion marred the blondes' forehead.
"Natsuki's first band! The X chromosome!" Yukino whooped with joy while she sang with the band.
"Who in their right mind would name a band with a cell?" Haruka muttered.
"Them, apparently," Shizuru said dryly. She was still light headed at the sudden turn of her night. She was supposed to relax—to forget a certain gorgeous rock star that invaded her system. Now, here Natsuki was—undoubtedly enjoying every moment in the stage.
Sweat glistened at the rocker's temple as she crooned the crowd with her husky voice. Unconsciously, Shizuru swallowed—by just imagining running her fingertips to the rocker's throat could almost make her burn with so much desire. Natsuki was dancing to the beat as she strung the electric guitar. She would occasionally jump with her bandmates as they moved with the high notes of the song.
Her heart jumped to her throat when Natsuki's emerald eyes found hers—a ragged hiss escaped her—she was completely enthralled at those intense emerald orbs that held promises.
Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll 'cause I can't control myself,
I don't wanna stay, I wanna run away but I'm trapped under your spell.
And it hurts in my head and my heart and my chest,
And I'm having trouble catching my breath.
It took seconds before Shizuru realized that their escort was trying to call her attention. "Yes? I'm sorry I was spacing out."
The waitress smiled politely. ''Please follow me," She nodded as she followed the woman to their table. She could hear Haruka telling her girlfriend to settle down first before getting excited, and she almost choked when Yukino answered in the most inappropriate way that can make a bouncer blush to death.
The place was jam packed but they managed to weave their way to their reserved booth. The VIP booths were slightly elevated from the rest of the bar and each booth was being separated by its own wall so the guest will have its own privacy despite the nature of the club.
Their waitress gestured them inside the booth and the trio dropped heavily on the couch. "A bucket of ice cold beer and some finger foods, please." The waitress nodded and disappeared outside of the booth.
"I can't believe this! They're playing together! It's been years!" Yukino said before shouting the bands' name again.
"She's really a hardcore fan huh?" Shizuru asked the pouting blonde.
"More like an obsessed fan, she's been listening to them ever since I had known her." Haruka gestured the waitress when she appeared with their drinks.
Shizuru thanked the woman and took a bottle for herself. After a pop, she drank a little. Shizuru sighed when the refreshing cold beer slid through her throat—silently thanking the couple for taking her with them.
"I could finally relax." Haruka released her own sigh of relief, and she watched her girlfriend sang—still giddy at her favorite band. "Well, maybe when she stop singing this godawful song."
"Shhhh!" Shizuru hissed to her. "Are you trying to get us killed? She's got a lot of fans here!"
"I'll be first in line, Shiz!" Yukino glared to her girlfriend. "You also like her songs, so stop whining and try to enjoy it."
"Just because she was on my playlist doesn't mean that I like her songs." Haruka tried to protest but she was swatted by her girlfriend.
"Yeah, yeah. So you like to purchase it through Itunes and wasting it completely by not listening to it. We get the idea." The blonde blushed furiously—caught, she just grunted and took a swig of beer.
Shizuru snorted. Some things never change, she thought to herself and her eyes were once again drawn by a certain emerald eye woman singing at the center of the stage.
Every time you're near me,
Suddenly my heart begins to race.
Every time I leave,
I don't know why my heart begins to break.
Shizuru nearly fainted when Natsuki looked up at her and smiled. Shizuru took in her gorgeous deep green eyes, and she knew—that she could no longer deny her sexual attraction to the rock star. She couldn't help but smile, a goofy smile. Is she a lesbian? A bisexual? Whatever the answer was, she no longer care. She just wanted to kiss those luscious lips and melt to Natsuki's arms.
"She was definitely eye-fucking her." It took a moment before those words registered in her mind. Shizuru cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. "I can hear you two, you know."
''Well, you actually heard us after you were done with the eye-fucking thingy with Natsuki." The couple grinned at her blushing face.
"She was smiling so I smiled back, geez, what's the big idea with Natsuki." Shizuru groaned.
''Come on Shizuru, you can deny it all you want but there is something between the two of you. Ever since the first time I saw you together, the air around the two of you were all combusting and sparkling like fire. The way Natsuki look at you, gosh," Yukino fanned herself. "I could almost feel myself getting aroused."
Shizuru snorted when Haruka yelp indignantly. "Hush dear, I'm just trying to tell this to you Shiz," Yukino pointed at Natsuki. "That woman is definitely interested in you in every sense of a way."
She fought back a blush and groaned. "I don't know, Yukino. I don't even know if I'm interested in women."
A laughter bubbled at Haruka's throat. "You idiot, we knew all along."
"What?" Shizuru shrieked at them. How did they know? She hasn't been in any relationship, let alone dating anyone. So how can they tell that she's attracted to women?
"You are always checking out women Shiz, in fact, you noticed the waitress that guided us in here right?" Yukino said in a matter of factly.
Shizuru gasped. Has she been attracted to women before? Damn, her mother's going to freak out once she got a wind of this. "I don't know..."
"I think, Natsuki woke up your sleeping sexuality," Yukino said as she sipped her beer.
Sleeping sexuality? More like my sleeping libido, Shizuru thought hysterically. "I'm just probably curious. Besides, Natsuki is a very err—attractive women. Maybe that's the reason."
"Uh-huh," Yukino said—clearly unconvinced with her explanation.
"Well, you'll get your answer because Casanova there is on her way.'' Shizuru choked in her beer as she tried to find the rock star. She can't help but grin when she saw some of her fans squealing when the bluenette made her way towards their booth. A bouncer followed her immediately, as the man protected her from being latched by the fans. Natsuki was usually charming towards her fans but she must be in a hell of hurry because her eyes were fixed in them as she weaved through the crowd.
"My, my, she looks hungry," Yukino said and Haruka laughed out loud when Shizuru hissed at her.
"Yukino, shut up! My god, you sounded like a horny teenager! Haruka do something!" Shizuru groaned uncomfortably.
"Oh, I intend to do sometime later about it but for now, let's see what you will do about this." Haruka's grin was the last thing she saw when Natsuki's voice stole her attention.
"Fancy meeting you here." Her lips curled into a pleased smile. Shizuru can't help it—it must be one of those uncontrollable urges whenever the rock star was around.
"Hello, Natsuki" Yukino greeted her enthusiastically while the women beside her just grunted.
"Hey," Natsuki smile at the mousy-haired woman. "Can I hang out with you for a while? They gave me a few minutes for a break."
"Sure thing! Here, have a beer." To her surprise, Natsuki plopped down beside her and was immediately assaulted by the rock stars' musky scent. Shizuru was mesmerized by the movement of her muscles in those biceps as she took a swig of beer. Shizuru's tongue wet her lips unconsciously, as she avidly watched Natsuki's throat hungrily swallowed her beer. She wanted to put her lips there, in those hollow are just beneath her neck and feel that skin against her tongue...
"You want another bottle, Shiz?" She didn't know how long they been waiting for her answer, as she gawked at the woman beside her. Shizuru blinked slowly as if waking from a deep sleep. Without thinking, she blurted out. "Hell, yeah. I think I need more, I'm so thirsty."
One dark eyebrow raised. "Really thirsty?" Natsuki's tone was light and teasing.
"Really thirsty." Shizuru croaked. She grabbed the beer from her laughing friends and downed it.
Natsuki herself was thirsty, but not for beer. Her emerald eyes roamed hungrily at Shizuru's figure, she was wearing long plaid boyfriend shirt, black denim pants, and boots. When she brushed past the woman, Shizuru was accompanied by a hint of perfume that made her mouth water.
"When you told me you had plans, I never imagined that you'll be here. Are you frequent in here?" Natsuki softly smiled to her. Damn, Shizuru looked good.
"This is my second time around here. My first was with Reito." With the mention of man's name, Natsuki scowled. "You don't like him?" Too late, after downing a few bottles of beer—Shizuru's tongue loosened.
Natsuki became rigid, was it obvious in her face? She cringed—totally clueless how to approach the subject. A warm hand grasped her arms, and her eyes flew to Shizuru's face. "Did he do something to you?"
Yeah, he exists. Natsuki bit back her tongue. "I'm just being a jerk." Like she could tell Shizuru the real reason.
"You're anything but a jerk, Natsuki. You won't tell me why?" She said in a soft voice.
Trapped, Natsuki blushed furiously. "Are you sure you want to know?" Surprised, Shizuru blinked slowly and nodded.
Shizuru's breath hitched and her heart rate tripled when the rock star leaned towards her. She could almost smell Natsuki's breath infused with mint and a touch of alcohol. She was hypnotized by the way her emerald dark eyes shone with deep intensity. "Because you deserve so much more…"
It was whispered in a delicate voice that Shizuru almost missed it. Shizuru could almost swear that everything stopped around them—nothing existed but the woman in front of her. The sexual attraction was too much—too much she almost gave in to her desire to trap those lips in hers.
"I know you feel it too." Natsuki continued—watching the stupefied angelic face of Shizuru.
"What do you mean?" Shizuru said weakly. It's no use to deny it—Natsuki, felt it too and it was scaring and electrifying Shizuru at the same time
"This…" Shizuru stopped breathing when Natsuki reached out of her hand and slowly—oh, so slowly, rubbed her palm with her thumb and it was just like in the fairy tales. Natsuki's touch sent an electric jolt through her body that automatically turned into full blown lust.
"See?" Realizing that she was holding her breath, Shizuru sighed. She knew that she's going to regret this sooner or later but she needed to say it, and she wanted to—she wanted Natsuki all for herself. "Reito and I are not a couple."
"Huh?" Natsuki said dumbly. Did she hear it right? Natsuki asked herself but before she could voice out her question, Shizuru interrupted her.
"We are not dating." Suddenly courageous, Shizuru boldly meet her eyes. She found confused Natsuki endearing.
"Are you serious? But…" Natsuki stopped when she saw the truth in those crimson eyes. Warm relief course through her veins and she released a long sigh. Shizuru's single and very much available and with that thought—Natsuki grinned.
"I don't know if I like that smile of yours," Shizuru smiled, a giddy smile. She knew that she was dipping into a dangerous territory but this—their shared intimacy was completely addicting.
"Well, if I were you, get used to it Miss Fujino," And that blasted sexy emerald eyes winked at her. "Because you won't get rid of me in this lifetime."
Natsuki's jaw dropped when the supermodel leaned closer to her—almost touching Shizuru's lips with her own lips. "What if I don't?"
"I don't?" Natsuki said in a weak voice. Shizuru's scent was making her dizzy with desire.
"I don't want to get rid of you." Shizuru drawled in her most provocative voice.
"Nat-kun!" The two women whipped their head at the same time. A woman in a short cropped black hair was walking towards them.
"Shit," Natsuki muttered a curse. She knew that Chie saw them, and she prayed to god that the woman will shut her trap before she could ruin anything.
"Hello," Chie grinned like a cat that ate the canary.
"Hi," Shizuru said quickly. The couple behind Natsuki said their greeting and Shizuru groaned silently, she completely forgot her companions.
"The break's over, just a few more songs and you're free, I promise." The woman smiled apologetically.
"Alright," Natsuki stood. "Thank you for the beer," She said to the smiling couple and Natsuki glanced at her. "Can I take you home?"
Shizuru bit her lips—the woman was making it hard to resist her but before she could answer, Yukino spoke. "You can, in fact, we might leave earlier than expected. You see, Haruka is kind of drunk."
"Am I?" Haruka echoed and yelp when Yukino smacked her loudly. "Uh, yeah. I think so."
"See? We'll just stay for a few songs and we'll leave Shizuru in your capable hands." And Yukino smiled innocently.
Shizuru rolled her eyes—talked about being obvious. Natsuki chuckled—well, it's not like she's going to say not to that sexy woman. "I'll be waiting," Shizuru said to her—and her heart jumped at Natsuki's words.
"You bet I'll be coming back." Natsuki murmured and she gave her a lingering stare before nodding to Chie.
Shizuru watched them weave through the screaming fans—silently watching Natsuki's butt swaying gorgeously.
"Totally eye-fuckingggggg…" Yukino singsong and Haruka howled with laughter.
Shizuru just grinned, completely ignoring their teases. Her night was getting better and better.
