Natalya snuck in to the small cafe, so that no one would notice were she went.
The cafe was a small bustle of activity as couples spent time in the family friendly establishment, and families enjoyed a cheaper outing than a restaurant would have cost.
Natalya was startled by the sight of two women that were obviously on a date as they were holding hands under the table, and practically making googly eyes at each other.
She rolled her eyes, because relationships were never that perfect; she had struggled to remain in a relationship with a woman that she loved for years.
Natalya frowned as she recalled her past relationship that had fallen apart, because of her work which sent her away for months at a time and had nearly killed her as well as forced her in to secrecy.
She startled further when she realized that the blond woman that was holding hands with the other woman was Amelia Jones, the one woman that the Belorussian woman loved.
Natalya couldn't stop herself, "Amelia?" Her words were faint, but they expressed heartbreak, and longing.
"Nattie?" Amelia's voice broke on the old nickname, "How come you never came back?"
"I couldn't." Her eyes flickered to her current competition; a small, quiet, Japanese woman that seemed confused by all of this.
"Natalya, I missed you." Tears brimmed in Amelia's eyes as she gazed at Natalya; the Japanese woman must have not been much competition after all.
"I missed you too." Natalya could easily see all of her long, sleepless nights in her head which had been plaqued with memories of Amelia.
"Are you alright?" Amelia inquired; she had been the only one that Natalya had told about her career.
"I'm fine. Work never kept me down for long." Natalya murmured.
"But you never visited." Amelia seemed deeply hurt by that fact.
"It would have been too dangerous for you." Natalya grumbled; she would do anything to make sure that Amelia would be fine.
"The heroine can handle it. I would rather be with you than left waiting for you." Amelia argued with Natalya.
"You would have died out there, and you seem just fine with out me!" Natalya growled.
"I would have been fine." Amelia pleaded with Natalya.
"Your Cinderella found you in the end." Natalya grumbled.
"I love you." Amelia blushed at admitting that after all this time that she still loved her.
"You are with someone else now." Natalya pointed out.
"Natalya!" Amelia whined.
"Don't act like such a child." Natalya scolded her.
"Take me with you." Amelia pleaded yet again.
"No. I will not let you die." Natalya growled at her ex.
"See? You won't let me die if I came with you." Amelia reasoned.
"That's not what I meant." Natalya hissed.
"Natalya." Amelia pleaded desperately.
"Amelia." Whimpered Natalya at the pout that she had received. "Fine."
"Yes!" Amelia cheered, and kissed Natalya on the lips.
"I'll leave." Sakura murmured as she left.
"You better not die." Natalya demanded.
"I won't. Besides I have you to save me of the heroine runs in to trouble." Amelia stated.
"That's not how it works." Natalya grumbled.
