Usagi sighed as she struggled to open the front door of a motel apartment. As her arms were occupied by the towels stacked way over her head she had to use her knee to pull down he handle on the door and shove it open.
She stumbled outside into the motel's courtyard and clumsily tried to make her way to the maid's head quarters.
Mamoru walked across the premises with his head down he was thinking about a certain long blonde haired girl. She was so infuriating, yet, so innocent and… loveable? Hang on a second did he really think that? He barely knows this woman and already he was thinking about how he could love her…
He shook his head to clear his thoughts when suddenly he walked into something warm and petite. He fell back, loosing his balance.
"Ahhhh!" Usagi screamed as she toppled over, towels that once rested in her arms now flew about the falling couple. They both landed a foot away from each other on their backsides.
"I am so-"Usagi's words caught in her throat as she looked up to see Mamoru staring directly into her eyes. "Sorry" she finished in a small whisper
They seemed to stay like that forever, mentally connected to one another, diving into each others soul. When suddenly Usagi broke the gaze and stood up.
Mamoru suddenly snapped back to reality as he looked up at the blonde that was brushing herself down.
"Gomenasai Mamoru-San… Once again I have messed up…" She bowed her head. After she took a deep breath in then she looked at him again. "Arigato" She smiled slightly "Demo….Sayonara" With that she picked up the bundle of towels all over the floor and started to walk away.
Suddenly Mamoru sprung into life as he leapt up, confused and frustrated.
"Matte Usagi!" He cried after her. She carried on walking and he ran faster.
He suddenly grabbed her arm firmly and pulled her around; he didn't notice how she hissed in pain. She ripped her arm out of his grasp instinctively and favored it gently.
"What do you mean goodbye?" He asked, his arms hanging limply by his side.
"I have messed everything up… first of all I argue with you then I go and drop the towels all over the place and after everything you've done for me! You have every right to fire me…." Usagi rambled hysterically.
"Hold up!! Who said I was going to fire you?" Mamoru asked with a frown
"Well I just assumed…" Usagi started but was cut off by Mamoru's stern voice.
"Well then you assumed wrong, that argument before was petty and stupid! You do not have to be professional with me Usagi… I am not a king I am as much of a person as you are…. I consider all my employees as friends…" Mamoru stated
"F…Friends?" Usagi repeated unsure of how to react.
"Friends" Mamoru confirmed with a small smile.
It was obvious by the way Usagi was looking at him that she was scared. No, scared was too weak of a word… more like petrified. Mamoru frowned slightly.
"What's wrong Usagi?" He asked gently
Her eyes were glazed over as her mind was running miles.
Friends? All my friends I have had either get hurt or get shoved away…. I don't want to get Mamoru involved into all of this….
Another voice scowled at her mentally
Usagi look at yourself! You're getting into a huge mess over nothing! Kieran is long gone and this is your new life. You deserve good friends and happiness!! Take a risk, it'll be worth it!
"Usagi?" Mamoru shoke her gently again
Usagi suddenly snapped out of her revive and looked up into the concerned deep blue eyes of Chiba Mamoru.
"Friends" She said weakly with a worried smile on her face.
Mamoru's eyes twinkled as he grinned "Good, now get back to work! You have some towels to wash"
Usagi's smile widened, just when she was about to walk away her called her back. She turned around and looked at him with curious big blue eyes.
"What were you planning on eating tonight?"
"Well I…." Usagi started but suddenly stopped "I Don't know" She finished
Mamoru laughed "Go get Miako and then meet me at my car in 10 minutes" He demanded
"Why?" Usagi asked
"Because im taking you grocery shopping" He replied walking off towards his car.
Usagi stared after him for a second then grinned; she then turned and broke into a run towards the Motel apartment Minako was working in.
"Minako? Miako?" She called into the apartment. She could hear Miako giggling and squealing in the direction of the bedroom. She opened the door and found Minako tickling the little girl mercilessly.
Usagi smiled. "Having fun?" She asked. Minako suddenly jumped off of Miako and held her hands up
"It wasn't me I swear" She grinned, faking innocence.
Miako jumped off the bed and hid behind her mother, she stuck her tongue out at Minako and then giggled.
"Children, behave" Usagi ordered playfully. Her face then turned serious as she bent down infront of her daughter and held her hands. "Munchkin, we're going on a little trip with Mamoru-San…Go meet him in the courtyard and I'll be right there ok?"
Miako nodded "Bye Mina-Chan" She stuck her tongue out once more at the tall blonde then waved enthusiastically running out of the room.
Minako laughed "Bye spore" She smiled.
"Arigato Minako-San for watching Miako for me" Usagi thanked gratefully
"Anytime" She smiled "Sooo where you off to with Mamoru-Chan then?" She asked with in a teasing voice
"Grocery shopping and that's all" Usagi replied with her hands on her hips "Nothing more"
"Oooooh how romantic!" Minako sighed dramatically then broke out into a laugh besides Usagi.
"Oh please Minako, I've only just met the guy! He's helping me out…. It's as simple as that…."
Minako's face turned seriously as she looks at Usagi with a skeptic look.
"Oh please Usagi, who are you trying to fool…Your sprung!!" Minako cried
"How can I be hooked on a guy I've only just met" Usagi defended strongly
"Don't you believe in love at first sight?" Minako replied in her teasing voice.
Usagi groaned and threw a pillow off of the bed at her, then made her way out of the door.
"Hey I just fluffed those!" Minako shouted after her, in reply all she heard was Usagi's bubbly laughter.
When Usagi reached the courtyard she saw Mamoru laughing along with Miako beside a classy black Mercedes. Usagi smiled and made her way over to the couple.
"Ready to go?" Mamoru asked when he noticed her coming towards them.
She nodded in return and cocked an eyebrow looking at his car.
"You like?" Mamoru asked with a grin
"I've had better" She replied smoothly, opening the door and hoping inside.
Mamoru's face deflated as he made a small huffing sound, he walked around the other side and got into the divers seat.
"Come on Miako, your going to have to sit on my lap because theirs no car seat" Usagi said with laughter in her tone, she looked at Mamoru and smiled innocently. He just huffed in return and started up the engine.
Once everyone was seat belted in they set off out of the courtyard and onto the smooth road, towards the city. Panic suddenly filled Usagi as she acted on impulse.
"Matte, Mamoru-San!" She cried as they sped along the road
"Nani?" He replied a little alarmed by the panic in her voice.
"Is there a store near the motel? Outside of the city?" She asked with a nervous giggle
Mamoru eyed her suspiciously. He new she was hiding something but he didn't want to pry.
"Hai… but it's small…" He replied
"C…Can we go their please? It's just that… I don't want to travel far with Miako on my lap… its unsafe" Usagi stated lamely
Liar Mamoru thought "Sure Usagi, whatever you wish…" He checked his mirrors for any traffic along the straight road and suddenly done a sharp u-turn. Off they sped towards the opposite direct. Usagi let out a breath of relief that didn't go unnoticed by Mamoru.
