18 - Getting caught
Haruka was laying on her back, sprawled on the floor, feet up and resting on the coffee table, and she was happily and lazily humming to a rock song that was currently being played on the radio.
Her gray t-shirt rolled up, hands tapping on her stomach, mindlessly following the beat.
"Where did you get this?" Rei asked her, getting her attention, and making her look up at her.
The black haired girl was sitting on the couch right next to her, showing her feet at her blonde friend, her toes shaking happily, and pointing at the borrow red nail polish she had in her hands.
Haruka raised an eyebrow at her "You do realize there's no way in hell that thing is mine, right?"
Rei frowned, and then shook her head "Right, what was I thinking?" she asked herself.
Makoto came into the living room, a happy smile on her face, while talking on the phone with someone.
She was extremely happy today, for some reason or another...
"Wait up, I'm putting you on speaker" she said into the phone, and made her way to the coffee table, and did exactly as she just said.
"Ok, Michiru, you're on" she said "Haruka and Rei are here, so say hi"
A soft giggled came from the phone's speaker, followed by an amused "Hi, there"
"Ok, so, like I was saying" Makoto started talking again "I kinda over did myself a little here..."
"Just a little?" Rei asked "You made enough food to feed an entire army!"
"Shut up, or I won't feed you!" the brunette exclaimed, annoyed.
"PMS" Haruka said, smiling.
"You too, dumb blonde!" Makoto warned her.
"Definitively PMS" Rei said, nodding her head to her blonde friend.
"Oh yeah" Haruka agreed.
Makoto decided to ignore her friends, and then smiled at the phone, from where an amused laughed could be heard.
"Anyway, I have all this food now, and I really don't want to let it go to waste. Ami is coming too"
"Thanks, but I'm at a friend's now" came Michiru's soft voice.
"Bring her too!" Makoto exclaimed "We have plenty!"
"Yeah, for like, an entire country!" Rei joked.
Makoto glared at her "And I need new friends, anyway" she said to the phone.
Again, they all heard a giggled, followed by a second voice asking "Who you're talking too?"
"A friend of mine is inviting us to dinner" came Michiru's answer "Wanna go?"
"Are you kidding me? I never say no to free food!" came the second voice again.
"Ok, we're going. Should I bring anything?" Michiru asked.
The three women exchanged looks, and then answered, at the same time "Booze!"
But then Haruka frowned, thought about it for a second, and said "Hey, make it tequila. We can have margaritas!"
"Oh, so we're getting wasted tonight" Rei commented.
"I don't have to drive" Haruka said, shaking her shoulder "So, sure, why not?"
"No, you just have to drag your drunky drunk ass all the way up the stairs" Makoto joked.
"I can do that" the blonde said, smiling triumphantly.
Michiru agreed to the conditions, and announced she was going to be there in half an hour, along with her friend and the requested alcohol.
So after they hanged up, Makoto went back into the kitchen to finished her cooking, and Rei and Haruka started putting the place into some kind of order. They decided they would have dinner on the coffee table, so they could all stretch out on the couches or the floor.
By the time Michiru made it to the house, along with a happy, beaming, cheerful Minako, everything looked perfect for their girls' night. Haruka was back on her spot on the floor, and Rei was trying to get her nails dry, while Makoto was finishing up their improvised dinner table.
"Ok, so we have tequila, and we have wine" Minako said, smiling at the tall brunette that answered the door.
Makoto smiled at the bottles of wine, reading the label "Oh, blondy, you're gonna love this one" she said, walking up to Haruka, and giving her one bottle.
She read label of the bottle her brunette friend shoved at her, and then groaned.
"Oh, come on!" Haruka exclaimed "Are you kidding me?"
"Why, what's wrong?" Minako asked, frowning, and worried.
"Is this from your mutant's ranch?" Haruka asked, getting up from her comfy spot, and when Makoto simply shook her shoulders, the tall blonde rolled her eyes "I swear, I've never been to Italy, but I had enough of that country to last me a lifetime!" she exclaimed, and then she turned to the new, still pretty much unknown blonde "Hi, I'm Haruka" she introduced herself "And those two are Makoto and Rei" she pointed.
"Hi, everyone, I'm Minako" the smiling blonde said.
They walked into the living room, and the tall blonde woman guided them into the kitchen so they could put all the drinks there.
But Minako jerked Michiru's arm, making the aquamarine haired girl stop dead on her tracks, in the middle of the hallway, and turn to her with a questioning look on her face.
"Is that her?" she whispered.
But when Michiru simply frowned at her, Minako rolled her eyes "Your girl!" she exclaimed, keeping her voice down "You said she was blonde, tall, and with a husky voice" she took a peek into the kitchen "And that one matches your description"
"Oh... well... yeah" Michiru answered her, blushing slightly "That's her"
Minako smiled "Nice!" she said "You said she was hot" she took a peek again "And that one sure looks like it! Only, you know, in a very unique, androgenic, but still sexy kinda way..."
"Hey!" Michiru exclaimed "Don't you dare, she's mine!" she warned, jokingly.
Minako smiled at her "Actually, I think that's exactly what makes her hot!" she whispered, and laughed when Michiru narrowed her eyes at her.
"Are you guys coming?" came Haruka's voice from the kitchen, followed by a soft "Mm, this smells nice"
They walked into the kitchen, and Minako practically dropped the bags on the counter, and then went flying out.
Haruka just blinked after her, frowning, and then she looked at Michiru.
"Is she always like that?" she asked.
"I'm afraid so" Michiru answered, turning her head around and looking into the hallway.
Once she made sure no one was coming, she encircled her arms around the tall blonde's waist, kissing her jaw line "She knows" she informed her.
"Oh, I see" Haruka said, chuckling, and bringing her face down to softly kiss her lips "I told Makoto" she then said "Well, not everything. I didn't tell her it was you. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable or anything..."
Michiru nodded her head "It's ok, she's your best friend" she said, kissing her softly again "And it's not like we're hiding or anything. I know we're just getting started, and no one really knows yet, but..."
Haruka didn't let her finished the sentence. Instead, she lowered her mouth to meet hers, in a deep kiss. Michiru's hands were softly caressing the blonde's waist through the material of her t-shirt, Haruka's hands cupping the aquamarine haired girl's cheeks. Tongues slowly dancing together.
But someone clearing their throat behind them made them part and turn around, only to find an innocently smiling Minako looking at them. Her hands at her back.
"Could you two do that later?" she asked "I mean, you look cute and all, but I'm kinda hungry here"
