Chapter 3: November


A few weeks had passed since that day we talked and my feelings were still growing for Rei. I just couldn't help it. We all agreed in moving in together. Makoto and Ami were gonna live in one room and Rei and myself in another. I knew this was dangerous, at least for my heart. For her, this was just another adventure. As for me, it would kill me at the end. Besides all this, we were all getting ready for thanksgiving dinner. I looked for my best attire for that night. A black dress pants, a white with black patterns corset and my two inches black pumps, fixed my hair and put some make-up and...

"Wow", I could hear Rei say from behind, "You look really beautiful"

I smiled, knowing that this was the reaction that I wanted, "You like it?"

"Hell yes I do", she smiled and kissed me on the cheek, "I'm having the sexiest date of the night"

I looked at her reflection on the mirror, "Yeah right, but love the complement"

She smiled and continued to get ready. That smile of hers, just drove me crazy.

"Hey Minako, you ready?", I heard Ami ask from her room.

"Yeah, let's get this party started"

I herd her laugh, "Ok, let's go then"


We went first to our office for a special lunch. We all sat together but kept our hands to ourselves. We didn't want anyone to know about our relationship, even Ami and Makoto thought the same thing.

After we finished there, we went to a friend's house. His name was Edmond, and he was the only one outside our group of friends that invited us to a thanksgiving dinner. Over at his house, his wife and daughter and some friends were there. We had a beautiful evening with them. Richard, another of our friends, went with his wife and his newborn son so the house. He was very charming with all of us. He told us about all the little things his son did through the day. Then, Edmond came with his daughter to thaw living room and looked at me and Rei. He noticed we were holding hands and speaking to ourselves from time to time.

"I didn't know you two were together?", he asked with a big smile.

"We are, it's been like this for a while", I herd Rei say, to my surprise.

"You make a very cute couple. You look good together"

I looked at Rei surprised and she gave me a light kiss on my lips. Is she finally falling for me? Or is she playing with me? I smiled at her and followed her game, maybe was just my imagination.

The dinner was served and our time on Edmond's house came to an end. We all said our goodbyes and went to our boss' house. The house was packed and more people from our work place were there. But this time, Rei was all over me. Holding my hand, smiling at me, kissing me from time to time. It was like a dream come true, maybe she finally realized how she felt for me. While we passed all the visitors, there was this girl with who we worked with that smiled at us.

"You two look cute together"

We smiled at her and kept walking towards the dance floor. We danced for a while, smiling at each other all the time. I wished this night never ended.


At the house…

We were laying in bed, looking at the ceiling, just enjoying each other's company.

"I had a dream last night", I herd Rei say, "That you and I were getting married"

I looked at her surprised, "Are you joking?"

"No, it's true. You looked beautiful in your white dress", she kept saying, "You know what I want to do? I want to go in a cruise ship with you"

I still was surprised, this wasn't like her at all. Was she including me in her plans? In her future? She keeps confusing me, does she knows exactly what she wants? Is she talking about reality here? I guess I'll nerve know for sure…


A/N: Sorry for the delay but work was crazy lately. This was a short one, november wasn't that much of a deal. But december, january and february are the tensed months. Those are the ones that will hurt when I write them. I'm starting to work tonight, so I hope I can write the next chapter soon. Remember, read and review! Till the next chapter!
