The Puzzle of Love

By

Chapter 16-Meeting Two


Third Person POV

There is a woman with shoulder length chocolate Brown hair sitting on a bench sipping a bottle of water. She keeps checking her cell phone when all of a sudden it vibrates. She opens up her cell phone and sees she has a new message that says, 'I'm here and walking up to the ice cream stand. Where are you?'

The woman stands up and notices a striking woman standing, looking around. This must be who she's come to meet; finally she gets to meet Lightning One! Walking up to the woman she smiles as their eyes meet, already she can tell that she likes this woman even more in person.

"Are you Lightning One?"

"Yes and you must be Long Arch One."

"Yes I am my name is Hayate, Yagami Hayate, but you can call me Hayate."

"My name is Fate T. Harlaown, but please call me Fate."

Hayate had held her hand out to Fate to shake her hand when she stopped at hearing her name. Hayate had heard that name from somewhere, but even though she felt that it was important for her to remember, she was drawing a blank. She knew that until she remembered it was going to bug her.

"It seems like I know your name from somewhere but for the life of me I'm having a hard time remembering where I've heard it."

"Well seeing how we both work for the TSAB you've probably heard of me as I'm one of the top enforcers of our branch here in Mid-Childa."

"For some reason I don't think that's it but knowing me it probably is. Let sit over here in the shade, it's getting to be a bit warm out isn't it?"

"Yes, some shade would be very welcome. Let me grab something to drink and I'll be right over there with you."

"Okay I'll be right over there," Hayate pointed over at a bench that was under some nice shaded trees.

"Sounds good I'll be there in a few minutes."

Fate proceeds over to the ice cream stand and gets herself a bottle of water. After paying for her beverage she makes her way over to the bench where Hayate is sitting. Sitting down for a few minutes drinking her beverage Fate begins to notice that Hayate seems to be looking at her with a strange expression on her face.

"I know this is going to be a bit forward but do you want to tell me about your White Devil? And I'll tell you a little bit about my Librarian."

"Sure pretty much everything else we know about each other, so how do I put her into words; she's like an angel, but yet she is so much more. Takamachi Nanoha, even though I have her name I have never tried to look for her. It's actually been somewhat hard for me knowing that she's out there; all I have to do is type her name in our database and it could tell me exactly where she is.

I've had to restrain myself several times just so that I won't break protocol. She has Chestnut Brown hair, the most beautiful sky-blue eyes, and the most unique laugh I think I've ever heard from any one person I've ever known. She was always bubbly and happy it didn't seem like anything could get her down. Even if I was having one of the worst days of my life just being around her brightened my day tremendously. That's why I would call her my angel, but then she would do something and I swear she was the devil instead. Therefore, I nicknamed her The White Devil. It suited her to a T."

Fate had a smile on her face and a faraway look in her eyes. Hayate could tell just by looking at her she was still madly in love with someone she didn't even know she's been talking to for the past eight months.

"Don't worry Fate, I think you may end up finding her a lot sooner than you ever thought. I have a friend that just might be able to help and her name is Stars One. I can't wait for the two of you to meet, I so want to be there at your first meeting."

Laughing Fate nodded her head yes, "That's fine with me as long as it is with Stars One. Now how about you tell me about your Librarian?"

"Well I don't know how to put this, he's not the man that I thought he was. He's been acting rather strange lately, he's extremely secretive, and every time that I've tried being around him he would shun me as if I had some kind of disease or plague. It has gotten to the point where I realized that the feelings that I had for him really weren't love. I still see him as a really good friend but that's all that I feel for him.

I have even been getting worried about his obsession with the other woman. It almost seems to be getting worse and I'm starting to get worried about her. You see I recently just met her and we've become really good friends. Thankfully he seems to have backed off a bit and is giving her breathing room so that she can have time with her family, and not have to worry about him hanging over her shoulder all the time."

"Wow that's a big development you haven't even had a chance to blog about this have you? I have to say I never saw that one coming. Although from the expression on your face, I'd say there's something else that you're not telling me. Would you like to enlighten me on what you're thinking and feeling?"

"Well to start off with I want to apologize that I've been staring at your eyes. They remind me of my childhood friend Reinforce. Every time I think of her I've thought of everything that we have gone through, and the fact that she's been by my side through everything.

You see when I was a child I was crippled and in a wheelchair. She was there to help me no matter what it was she was always right there by my side. When I first started to learn how to walk she was behind me in case I started to fall she would catch and cradle me in her arms saying that I could do it, so I would stand back up and try harder just for her.

Recently she's been acting a bit strange, she disappears for hours on end and then comes back and looks extremely worried, but every time I've asked her what the problem is she says it's nothing. That's not like her she usually tells me anything especially if I've asked her what was wrong. The fact that she doesn't tell me makes me worry about her even more than, if she had told me.

I have a question for you Fate; how did you know that you were a lesbian?"

"Well I knew since childhood that I was always attracted to girls and that boys were cool to hang out with because we always look at the girls together. My adopted brother, Chrono, he and I would point out girls to each other. I even introduced him to Amy she's now his fiancée. I guess the answer to your question is, I've always known. Why are you questioning this now Hayate?"

"I don't know how to describe how I feel about Reinforce, it's almost like her secretiveness has become a trigger of some kind. The fact that I'm worrying about her so much it hurts that she doesn't trust me. I think that I might have feelings for her that are more than just friendship, but I don't know especially now that my feelings for the Librarian are not what I thought they were. How do I know what I feel for her is real?"

"Hayate, does she make you happy whenever she's around you? Is she the first thing that you think about when you wake up in the morning, and is she the last thing you think about as you drift off to sleep? Every time you think of her, do you get a warmth in your chest like warm sunshine or a wave of emotion that feels like hot lava burning through your veins?

Those are the types of things that I experience whenever I think of Nanoha. That's how I know that I am in love with her. There is no one else in the world that could make me feel that way. Is that how Reinforce makes you feel Hayate?"

"I have always been happy whenever she's been around me, and I've never been cold because her presence always keeps me warm. Now that I think about it, it does feel an awful lot like warm sunshine that caresses my skin. Does this mean Fate that I've been in love with Reinforce since we were children?"

"That's what it sounds like to me Hayate."

"I can't wait to tell this to Stars One this is just going to blow her socks off. I'll have to blog about this later once I get back to the barracks. You know Fate since I've made this realization that I am in love with Reinforce it feels like the weight from my shoulders has been lifted. I can see us together as more than just friends. The only thing that I worry about is that she's never said what her sexual preference is. What if I ruined our great friendship by telling her how I feel for her?"

"Unfortunately Hayate there is no right or wrong way to tell someone how you feel about them, but please take it from me tell her as soon as you can. It saddens me every time I think that I've missed my chances to tell Nanoha how I feel about her. For all I know she could be happily married to some guy and have a horde of children by now. What good would telling my feelings to her be now?"

"Don't worry Fate I don't think you've lost your chance. You will just have to wait for that chance to come walking through the door, and then everything will work out, as it should. I will find a way of telling Reinforce that I care for her more than a friend would. I just don't know how to word it just yet; I'm hoping that I'll find the time and the place to be able to tell her."

"Shall we change the subject then until we both can confess to our beloved?"

"Yes I think so. Tome of the Night Sky has me worried about that person that has the stalker. I know she's reported it to the local authorities and the TSAB, but anything could happen, as neither of them will do anything until something happens to that woman. If only we knew who she was, or who Tome of the Night Sky is. Then maybe we could actually get a description of her. I wasn't able to get it before I left so I don't even know what the woman looks like."

"I looked into the TSAB's file on the report that she filed, the woman has Chestnut Brown hair waist length, blue eyes, is about 5'7", and has been seen with a little girl with sandy blonde hair. The little girl is presumed to be her niece or little girl that she babysits, as she doesn't look anything like the woman. That's all that Tome of the Night Sky was able to give as a description.

Unfortunately, without her name, there is nothing that we can do until she is either assaulted by the stalker, or disappears and someone puts in a missing persons report on her. Then we could have Tome of the Night Sky tell us if that's the woman or not. Right now it's just a waiting game and I hate those because we always end up losing in the end, whether it's the person's life or both of their lives we always seem to lose."

"If only Tome of the Night Sky would trust us enough to meet with us. That would give us a better chance at stopping something before it happens. I think we should try and convince her between the two of us to have her meet at least me as I live in the same city as she does. Maybe this time we can stop it before we lose."

"I would really like to be able to win this one Hayate. I'll see what I can do in a blog to her. I need to tell Stars One that I will be in Uminari City next week for a few vacation days. My boss was ecstatic when I said that I wanted to take some vacation to visit my family. She was trying to give me a week or two, but I think I would only be able to do a few days. Especially knowing that stalker is out there and our case could go from bad to worse any day now."

"Wait don't tell her about it yet, I'll say that I want to meet up with her at the mall again and then have you with me and surprise her. I think she'll absolutely love it not to mention I think you will too."

"All right we'll surprise her."

The two women continued to talk about everything and anything they could think of, their friendship had started out as the bud of a rose and was now growing into a full-blossomed friendship. However, will this friendship be able to withstand the troubled waters that are yet to come?


In another city miles away, a man with long blonde hair and glasses paces back and forth in his living room with a cell phone glued to his ear.

"I'm telling you it's done there's nothing that I can do to change what I've done. You will never have to worry about her ever again; she will now and forever only be mine."
