22 - You don't stand a chance
"There you are!" Minako yelled to the tall blonde woman, as she finally arrived to the small group of women standing by the bar.
Michiru had already joined them a couple of minutes ago, both of them trying to be somewhat discreet about their little playtime on the ladies' room. And her girlfriend was now happily sipping from an orange looking drink Rei had given to her.
Minako offered her a green one, smiling at her.
"You have to try this!" she said, smiling "It's called... oh, I forgot what it's called, but it's wonderful!"
"I thought you were going for tequila here" Haruka said, accepting the drink and taking a sip from it "Mm, blue curacao" she said, tasting that particular liquor on the drink "Like it"
When the first accords of some classic old rock song reached them, Minako jumped up happily and excitedly, and then took Michiru's hand, practically dropping the drink the aquamarine haired girl had in her hand, and dragged her all the way to the dance floor again.
Haruka followed them with her eyes, amused at the blonde's happy expression and her girlfriend's concentrated one, as they both dance together, mockingly resembling a couple, throwing some ballroom moves in there, and laughing all the while.
And watching Michiru dance, her hips waving to the beat of the rock music, was starting to turn her on all over again.
Maybe a new trip to the ladies' room was in need...
Or just leave the place altogether.
"You look hot tonight" came a male voice from behind her, making her take eyes away from her dancing girlfriend, and turn around to the smiling face, blue eyes checking her out.
You have breasts! Who would of thought! If I didn't know better, I would probably go for you" he joked "Lucky for me, I do know better!"
"Nice, Kou, really nice" Haruka said, rolling her eyes at him.
Seiya laughed at her, and then he noticed the aquamarine haired woman dancing with a blonde he remembered as Michiru's best friend from high school. He turned back to his tall friend, smiling at her.
"Hey, you think you could put up a word for me?" he asked, discreetly pointing at Michiru.
Haruka raised an eyebrow "Why should I?"
"Come on, we're friends, aren't we?" he said "You help me, I help you..."
"And why would I ever need for you to help me?" she asked, frowning, but still amused at the irony of the situation.
But when she saw the knowing all smile on his face, she frowned for real "You know something I don't?" she asked.
"Oh, I don't know" he said, waving his hand in a vaguely manner, resting his elbow against the bar counter "I may have heard something that might interest you..."
One blonde eyebrow shot up "Oh yeah?" she asked "Like what? Someone's finally trying to poison you?"
"Eiru is coming to town in a few days" Seiya said, the smile on his face never fading "And from what I heard, you two had quite the heated relationship" he said, his smile getting bigger at the blonde's surprised expression, and he chuckled "What? You thought I didn't know about that boyfriend of yours?"
"Ex boyfriend" Haruka corrected him "And I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. And I'm not helping you on getting Michiru into your bed either. She's not that kind of girl, you know" she warned him "Besides, she's taken, so you don't really have a chance"
Seiya blinked at her, surprised at the unexpected news "Really?" he asked "Is it serious?"
Haruka smiled at that question.
"Oh yeah" she confirmed "Quite serious. They've even went through the whole meeting Michiru's mother and all" she said, smiling at the memory.
The black haired young man frowned at that. But then his smile came back again.
"Well, I'm not a jealous guy..."
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed, somewhere in between amused at his thick headed behavior, and annoyed at his insistence "You're unbelievable!"
The black haired young man laughed good heartily "Oh come on! Don't tell me you've never played with someone who was already taken!"
"No!" she yelled "See? That just proves you don't know me at all. Because deep down inside, really, really deep down inside, I'm just a nice girl" she said, smiling "And I believe in karma!" she exclaimed.
Seiya smiled at her, looking her up and down, proving he didn't believe her at all. But then his blue eyes stopped at her chest level.
And the blonde growled at him.
"Stop staring at my boobs!" she yelled, hitting his arm hard with one hand.
"I'm sorry!" he exclaimed, laughing, and not sorry at all "I've never realized you have nice ones!" he joked "Are you wearing a bra here? 'Cause it doesn't look like it..."
She narrowed her eyes at him, and then she smacked him in the head.
He laughed again, looking at her with his best pleading expression.
"Come on, help me out here" he insisted "I just want a chance with her. I mean, look at her!" he exclaimed, pointing at the still dancing aquamarine haired beauty "She's hot!"
Boy, do I know that!, she thought to herself.
She smacked him again "Not a chance!" she exclaimed "She's taken, and she's not like that, ok?" she said, and when he looked down on her again, she growled "I can't believe you're actually asking me to help you out with her, and hitting on me at the same time!" she exclaimed, exasperated.
"Well, I'm sorry" he said, mockingly, and not sorry at all "But like I said, you look hot tonight. And I'm playing solo, so maybe we could..."
"Don't you dare finishing that sentence!" she warned, interrupting him "If you so much as whisper anything like that ever again, I swear I'll punch your teeth out!" she said, getting closer to him, and waving her fist near his chin "I mean it. I'll beat you up so hard, not even the forensics would be able to recognize you" she said, narrowing her green eyes at him.
"Ok, I get it, chill!" he said, his palms up in a defeat manner "Geez, that's why I never tried anything with you! You're violent!"
She smiled sweetly at that.
"Only with you" she said, and when she noticed his eyes wondering back to the general direction where Michiru was dancing, she smacked him on the head again.
"Don't" she said, pointing a warning finger at him.
Seiya was about to say something, when the blonde smacked him again "Ok, unnecessary roughness!" he exclaimed, getting annoyed.
"I said don't!" she exclaimed, ignoring his comment "Forget it dude, you don't stand a chance here. Are you dense or something?" she asked, rolling her eyes "You're really drunk tonight, aren't you?"
"Maybe a little" he admitted, smiling innocently. But then he frowned "So she's really serious about this guy she's dating?"
"Yes" she answered, smiling proudly.
"How would you know?"
"I know more than you do" she said, still smiling at him.
He frowned at that, crossing his arms over his chest "Ok, who is this guy?" he demanded "I want to know what I'm up against"
She tilted her head to the side, really amused now. Her elbow resting on the counter.
But before she could answer anything, Michiru came back from her dancing with Minako, and smiled up to the tall blonde. Her hand going around the thin waist.
The blonde looked at her, smiling lovingly. Her own hand going to the aquamarine haired woman's waist, bringing her closer.
"Hey, wanna get out of here?" Michiru asked to the blonde. And then she noticed Seiya standing there, and she smiled at him "Oh, hi! Didn't see you there"
"Sure, let's go" Haruka answered her, and then she looked back at the man standing right in front of her "See ya!" she said to him, smiling at the frowning, questioning expression on his face.
"Wait!" he exclaimed "You... what..." he blinked, surprised, and not really sure if he was imagining things...
Because he was sure the way those two were hugging each other, so close, was more than just a friendly hug.
"See you later, Seiya" Michiru said sweetly at him, letting the tall blonde woman guided her away, to the exit door. Once they were far enough, she looked up at the tall blonde "What was that all about?"
"Oh, nothing" the blonde answered, smiling, and kissing her forehead "He just wanted me to put a word for him, so he could get a chance with you"
Michiru arched an eyebrow at her "Were you being mean to him?" she asked, amused.
"Me? Being mean?" Haruka asked, smiling innocently "When was I ever mean?"
"That's a tricky question"
