"I have to admit that you have some good ideas in you," Michiru concedes as she reaches for another chocolate-covered strawberry.
"I assume you're referring to my choice of desserts, and not the way I just blew your mind, but thank you nonetheless," the blonde replies with a sly grin.
"Mmm...both," comes the reply, as Michiru indulges in the memory of being helpless under Haruka's touch.
"I'm glad you think so. I have a few other ideas up my sleeve too."
"Oh really?"
"In fact, you should get dressed. The next surprise is coming up very soon. I'll be right out front." Haruka stands up and heads towards the door, laughing as she takes the rest of the chocolate strawberries with her.
Slipping into an elegant white blouse and dark skirt, and black boots that she bought just for this trip, Michiru is soon ready for the next 'surprise'. Stepping out of the room, she finds Haruka putting on a jacket by the front entrance.
"Here, bring this extra coat just in case," Haruka directs, handing Michiru a light jacket . "It can be a bit chilly where we're going." Taking Michiru by the hand, the blonde leads the other woman to the far window of the suite. "So we just have to step outside, climb the ladder, and we're off from there."
"Are you serious?" Michiru stares out the window, barely seeing the ladder in the darkness.
"Are you afraid?"
"Oh, I'm not afraid. But if anything ruins my new boots, you should be scared for your life."
With that, the two women make their way out the window and up the ladder, and are soon on the roof of their hotel. A helicopter branded with the Tenoh Motors logo awaits them.
"Are you serious?" Michiru repeats, amazed at the lengths that Haruka will go to in order to impress her.
"Welcome aboard," Haruka encourages, helping Michiru climb into her passenger side. Heading around to the driver's door, Haruka straps into her own seat, begins the safety check, and quickly has her machine up in the air for a majestic tour of NYC.
As Michiru watches Haruka concentrate intently on navigating the helicopter, and as Michiru glances down upon the city she loves from overhead, she finally admits to herself that she is falling hard for the other woman.
