LIES AND PRETENCES
Chp. 2: Uncomfortable Feelings And Secret Longings
Nao returned to the apartment that she shared with her lover still holding onto very unpleasant thoughts of the conversation that she had with her friend Mai. She was standing outside the front door of the apartment with a scowl mocking her lovely features so with an exasperated sigh she placed the key in the lock and turned it. As the door swung open she was met with concerned emeralds staring back at her lime green eyes. She walked in and closed the door behind her and started taking off her coat and shoes without saying a word to the woman in front of her. Natsuki stood there dumbfounded not knowing what to think of how her lover was acting in front of her right now.
Nao, where were you been? she asks with a gentle yet demanding tone in her voice. She looks her red head lover in the eyes and she said Answer me Damn It right now!
Upon hearing her blue-haired lover question she just turned her back to her and walked away without a single word leaving her mouth. As she heads to the bathroom she shuts and locks the door behind her and then she falls to the floor pulling her knees to her chest like a scared child. She really doesn't know why she is feeling this way because honestly there was no proof that the person she had seen at the hospital was truly who she thought is was in the first place. So she lets out sigh of frustration and then stands up off the floor mentally chanting 'My name is Nao Yuuki dammit and I want fall for the trick that my eyes played on me.' She slowly begins to open the door expecting to see forest green but the owner was not there. Making her way down the hall she could hear that the television was on and the distinct sounds of gunfire and curses were heard coming from the person sitting on their sofa.
Natsuki knew that she had company because before she pushed play on her game controller she had heard the door to the bathroom click open. After hearing that sound she immediately pressed the play button and began to shoot zombies and shout out curses to the TV. Suddenly she felt to warm soft arms rap around her neck from behind and she settles into that warmth. Leaning back she pauses her game once again and turns to look at those loving eyes of Nao's without her former questioning gaze. She smiles at the woman who has been there for her ever since all the had started all those years ago. The red head leans down and takes those plump lips with her own smirking into the kiss as she felt the other blushing at her actions. A thought crossed her mind at that time at the memory of seeing this blush adorn her loves face on a number of occasions. Nao then pulls back and looks Natsuki in the eye and gives her a sly and mischievous wink while gesturing with her head towards the bedroom. Once they entered the bedroom the only things to be heard were loud moans and skin smacking
against skin. 'This was doing to be a very enjoyable night' they both thought in unison.
-BACK AT THE HOSPITAL SAME TIME-
A blonde woman sat in a reclining chair that positioned at the foot of a bed in certain private room that was located in separate part of the hospital. The woman sat there staring at the lone figure that was resting on the bed with sadness in her crystal blue eyes. She was longing to hear her name being whispered or even yelled out from the figure but she knew all to well that right now what she was so adamantly wishing for was impossible. The blonde stood up from the chair and made her way over to the resting figure and she began to trace the outlines of the brunette's face in a loving manner. "I miss you so much" was whispered to no one in particular as those blue eyes shed tears that were so hard to keep inside. She leaned down to place a gentle loving kiss on the forehead of the woman who makes her heart skip a beat and all she wants is for this brunette goddess to wake up and look at her with those enchanting ruby-red eyes and the bewitching smile as she calls out her name. Suddenly the sound of the door opening causes her to jump back with a shy yet surprised look on her face. As she looks to the intruder she sees the nurse coming in to check on Shizuru's condition as the day has slowly been passing into night. The nurse checks on her patient and then she looks in the direction of the other occupant in the room and she gives her smile that read 'she is still showing good signs.' After giving the smile the turns to leave and then she to bow to the blonde woman who bows back as the nurse turns to exit the room. Turning back to the motionless Shizuru she looks at her angelic face and images of the two them laughing, talking, fighting and hugging one another paces through her mind. Sounds of steady beeping were the answers that she received from the one she longed to hold and love til the end of time. No matter how much she wanted to rip those damn tubes from that body lying so still she knew in her heart that she couldn't because they were the only things that let her know that Shizuru Fujino was truly alive after that tragic incident that happened years ago.
Buzz Buzz Buzzzzz...
This sound was irritating to the one hearing it but she knew exactly who the other person on the other end was and that is why she answered the call in the first place.
'Hello' she said in a gentle tone. As she listened to the other speak she had a smile gracing her face. She then responds to the caller by saying "Everything is fine here, No no no you need to stay and get your rest right now."
'No! I need to be by her side so she knows that I am here for her' replies the other person in a stern yet caring manner.
'Akemi-san, please she knows that you are there for her because she loves you and she knows that no matter what happens in her life that you as her mother would be there for her with a supporting hand,' states Sandra firmly in an all knowing manner.
Thank you, Sandra dear was heard from the other end of the phone conversation.
The woman known as Sandra replies with a heart-warming your welcome Akemi-san.
Once the two women bid there farewells to each other Sandra turns her attention back to the one she needs the most. She walks back to the right side of the bed once again and leans down for yet another kiss but this time she blushes as she places the kiss upon soft lips. As she pulls herself away reluctantly she runs her left hand through her golden locks while running her right fingers across her lips still blushing a deep shade of red. Sandra then turns to go back to the recliner to settle in for the night but she suddenly halts in her steps as she whispers the words "I Love You Shizuru Fujino" to no one.
-THE NEXT DAY-
It was a bright sunny day outside as one half naked figure returns to the bedroom of her home with two plates of something yummy in her hands. She enters the bedroom and sees her lover still asleep with her red hair matted to her head in funny but cute way. Placing the plates on the bedside table the bluenette leans over the other woman and runs her fingers down her face and neck earning a heart-stopping moan as a response to her actions. Instantly lime green meets forest green in a loving manner and as if on que the two start a heated make out seccionbefore the forest remembers why she is standing there in the first place. Breaking away from the kissing and fondling was hard for her to do but she has a strong will and she managed to break away. Lime looks on in an 'are you kidding me manner/ but the rebel just smiles back at her causes her to smile back in response.
I made us breakfast bab... she halts at the word that was coming out of her mouth and she clears her throat before starting again. Nao, I made us breakfast she says sheepishly not looking in the direction of said person.
Oh, thanks sweetheart was the quite reply she heard from the red haired young woman sitting in front of her.
The sat there eating their breakfast in silence until Nao broke it by saying "Ne Natsuki... Wh-what w-w-would y-y-you d-d-do i-if Fu-Fujino was still alive?"
Startled by the questioned Natsuki turns to Nao and asks her "Why would you ask that all of a sudden, Nao?"
The younger of the two just shrugged her shoulders in the I-don't-know-manner before looking expectantly into forest green waiting on her to answer.
'That is a STUPID question' yelled a furious Natsuki. She gets up and stomps off in the direction of the bathroom not noticing the sad expression playing across lime's face.
You...You still love her was all that escaped the mouth of Nao as she begins to cry silently.
Inside the bathroom Natsuki is leaning against the door as she sheds her own tears wondering why Nao asked the one question that she could not respond to even if she truly wished too answer. As her tears continue to fall she doesn't realize that she is calling out the name of one Shizuru Shizuru SHIZURU! over and over. On the other side of the door stands a shocked Nao listening to her lover call out the name of her dead ex-lover she then turns to head back into their shared bedroom with heart-crushing thoughts running a muck inside her head and that one damn name being repeated over
and over by her emerald eyed biker.
-SAME TIME AT THE HOSPITAL PARKING LOT-
A sleek black BMW pulls to a stop in one of the parking spaces and slender gorgeous legs appear from the car. The woman who climbs completely out of the car looks to be in her late 40s early 50s but she still looks hot and sexy with her shoulder length dark honey hair swaying in the wind as she makes her way to the entrance doors. She walks by the front receptionist desks and bows her head to women behind the desk as sign of good morning ladies and the bow back in return. She then makes her way to the elevator and waits for it to come to a stop. Once the doors open up she enters and presses the number 3A button which leads to a private part of the hospital and only authorized individuals are aloud to enter. Taking out the plastic card with her name and picture on it, she swipes it down the scanner to gain entrance into the closed area. As the doors open she is greeted with smiles from very familiar faces saying good morning Mrs. Fujino to her as she bows in response to their greetings. She makes her way to left corridor and continues to farthest room on that side once she reaches the room a hand is placed upon the name of the patient who occupies this specific room.
The woman pushed the door open and proceeded inside and what she saw awaiting her in that room made her heart almost leap out of her chest. Sitting up in the bed was her beloved daughter Shizuru staring out of the window at the clear blue sky. A loud gasp brought Shizuru out of her tranced state and turning to the direction that the sound came from she smiled loving and said "Good morning Mother."
