Yumi woke up to her alarm ringing; turning to shut if off she noticed that it was 8 in the morning. After shutting off her annoying clock she turned her head again this time staring at the ceiling. The brunette couldn't help but smile as thought from the night before circling around in her head.
'I kissed Sei, I really kissed her.' Yumi thought to herself. Pulling the blanket over her head Yumi burrowed in her bed as she thought of the kiss her and her blonde friend shared. 'I don't know what came over me; it was like I was in some kind of trance.'
Yumi brought two of her delicate fingers up to touch the lips that her friend had also touched a few hours earlier. The brunette brightly smiled to herself at the thought, but that smile soon vanished at an unwelcomed thought.
The former Rose Chinensis quickly rose from under her covers.
'Did Sei like the kiss as much as I did? What if doesn't feel the same way about me as I do her?' Millions of thoughts were going through the young girls mind. Deciding to push away all those negative thoughts for the time being Yumi got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom for a quick shower.
~O~O~
Meanwhile in the room down the hall, a certain blonde was waking up from her well rested sleep. She yawned and stretched out her whole body, before looking at her phone to see what time it was. "8:30 a.m. Why am I up so early?" Sei mumbled to herself.
Falling back into bed the blonde yawned softly "I wonder if Yumi is awake yet." Sei's eyes lifted quickly when said Yumi's name out loud.
"Yumi…" She said again smiling as her mind floating back to their date the previous night. 'Last night was really fun, watching Yumi sing was entertaining as well.' Sei thought, folding her arms behind her head. The former Rose stared at her ceiling remembering everything that had happened on her and Yumi's date. When her mind came to the end of the night, she remembered the kiss that they shared and Sei could feel the massive grin on her face.
'I can't believe Yumi really kissed me last night." It all felt like a dream to Sei, she really likes Yumi, but she doesn't want to push the younger girl into anything, she isn't ready for.
"What should I do? Should I ask Yumi about the kiss, or should I just wait for her to ask me about it? The blonde thought to herself. All of the thoughts inside the Sei's head caused her to grab the pillow from behind her head and bury her face in it.
In the middle of her panic attack, she heard a soft grumbling sound followed by a tinge in her stomach. "Maybe I should worry about eating first." Sei said before getting out of bed and heading to the kitchen.
Sei heard the shower running when she left her room, and was glad to know that Yumi was awake. When she got to the kitchen she opened the fridge and thought of what she could make for breakfast. "Eggs and bacon sound good." Sei said getting stuff out and starting breakfast for her and Yumi.
~O~O~
When Yumi got out of the shower, she smelled something amazing coming from the kitchen, she went out to the kitchen and saw Sei plating food on the table. "That smells good, Sei. What did you make?" Yumi asked standing in the doorway. Sei turned around and stood with her mouth hung opened a little bit. Yumi was standing in the doorway wearing nothing but her towel and there were still water droplets on her upper chest.
"Is she trying to torture me?"
Sei thought. She regained her composure, and cleared her throat to talk. "Thanks, I made bacon and eggs, it's not great, but its food. Sei said smiling. "Soo... Are you trying to tell me you want me to help you get dressed?" Sei smirked looking at Yumi's attire.
Yumi looked down, wondering what Sei was talking about, and she realized that she was still wearing her towel. Ah! Yumi yelled as she held the towel closer to her body. "I'll be back." Yumi ran to her room to put on some less revealing clothes.
Sei chuckled as she saw Yumi running to her room, when she heard the door close she stumbled back against the wall, closed her eyes and took deep breathes to try and keep her cool. "Pull yourself together Sei." The blonde kept repeating in her head. After a couple more deep breathes Sei went back to setting the table for breakfast. Just when she was putting the food down, her eyes glanced up to see Yumi coming back in, fully clothed this time.
"Sorry about earlier Sei." Yumi said with a sad look on her face. Sei walked over and rubbed Yumi's back gently.
"Don't worry about it so much Yumi, we are roommates after all, we're bound to see each other unexposed at some point, not that it wasn't a wonderful sight, I enjoyed it very much. Sei smirked at the younger girl.
Yumi blushed just as hard as she did earlier before running to get clothes. Taking control of the situation Yumi shoved Sei's arm "You're such a perv Sei!" The former Rose said looking Sei right In the eye. "It's not my fault; you just happen to bring it out in me is all." The blonde said smiling brightly.
"Is that so?" Yumi asked with an eyebrow raised. "Of course!" Sei grinned. "But let's discuss this later, breakfast is getting cold.
"Wow first dinner, not breakfast. Who knew you were such a chef Sei." Yumi said with a slight chuckle. "Hey I might as well use what I learned when I was gone, and who better else to cook for than my wonderful friend right." Sei said laughing a little.
The two ate together, Yumi commenting on how good Sei's food was, even if it was just simple bacon and eggs. After they finished Yumi offered to do the dishes while Sei went to find something on T.V. While Yumi was washing dishes her mind started to wander to earlier that morning when she was thinking about Sei and their kiss the night before. "Should I bring it up to Sei or Should I just see if she wants to bring it up?"
The thought raced through Yumi's mind excessively, when she was done cleaning up she stood in the doorway into the living room where Sei was channel surfing. The more she looked at the blonde, the more she thought about the other night, until something unthinkable happened. "I want to talk about last night!" Yumi said immediately covering her mouth.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that." The brunette said in shock.
"No, its okay, I've been trying to find some way to bring that up to. Sei said rubbing the back of her head. Just when Yumi was about to speak again, the phone rang. Sei got up from the couch to pick up to answer the phone. "Hello? Yeah she's here one minute." Sei handed the phone to Yumi before sitting back down on the couch.
"Hello." Yumi said when she got the phone. "Hey, how are you? I'm good. No I'm not busy today. Sure, Bye." Yumi hung up the phone. "Sorry about that, Yoshino wants me to meet up with her today, no more like right now.
Sei smiled at the younger girl. "That's okay, I have a few things I need to do today as well. How about tonight we order a pizza and we can talk."
"Sounds good to me." Yumi smiled back. "I guess I'll see you later then. Yumi said grabbing her bag to go meet her best friend.
"I'll be here." The blonde said as her friend shut the door.
When Sei heard the door shut, she grabbed the phone and frantically dialed a number.
"Hello?"
"I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" Sei practically yelled through the phone.
"Nice to talk to you too Sei, good to know you can still yell." The voice on the other end said.
"Sorry, can I come by now, I need to talk to you about something.
"Yeah, sure."
"Arigatou, I'll be by in a bit. Bye." Sei hung up the phone and got ready to leave. 'I hope she can help me with this.' Sei thought shutting the door.
A/N: Sorry if the ending seemed a little rushed. I was literally rushing to get it done, probably shouldn't of done that. Can anyone guess who the mysterious person Sei is going to meet is? :)
