Enigma
Chapter 2
We spent the rest of the day together walking around the east side. She had me laughing and smiling and by the time the rain started we were two miles away from the truck. We ran under a small newspaper stand, laughing and almost soaked to the skin. She held me loosely around my waist as we waited for the rain to pass. I ducked my head down, suddenly shy.
"Why have you gone so shy on me?" she asked me, lifting my chin so I faced her.
"I don't know. I'm not a shy person." I laughed softly.
"Well now, it seems that there's a first time for everything." Haruka's voice grew soft. "I'm going to kiss you."
Her lips pressed lightly against mine, sending chills down my spine. This can't be happening, I just met her.
I pulled back, wondering if I was making the biggest mistake of my life. "I need to get back." I told her, resting my forehead against hers.
"I scared you didn't I?" she asked me.
I nodded, "Yea, just a little. I just met you. I…I don't know." I shook my head. "I'm over thinking this aren't I?"
Haruka pulled me into a hug. "Yes, yes you are." She pulled back. "I'll go get the truck, just stay here."
I watched her run down the street and wondered where my head had gone. I didn't kiss someone I had just met. I turned around to see what was on the racks at the stand. I smiled at the man and went back to browsing the racks. I heard a horn blow and turned around to see the truck parked on the curb. Haruka had the door open for me and I climbed in. "Thanks." I said.
"No problem." She answered. "I'll take you back to the bar, on one condition."
"And what would that be?" I asked her.
"I want your number. I want to be able to call you tomorrow."
"Really now." I said, leaning against the door.
"Yes, really." She was smiling and reached for my hand.
She held my hand all the way back to the bar. When she pulled into the parking lot I handed her a slip of paper with my cell phone number on it and got out of the truck.
I turned to wave at her when I saw her kiss and hug a woman who had pulled up beside her. My face paled as our eyes met. 'Usagi.' She mouthed and tried to get to me.
I went inside, not knowing whether or not to be mad at myself, or at her. Just my luck, I finally met someone I like and she's involved with another woman. Just great.
