yeah yeah! another one is out! XDDD

When Love Hurts 45
**********************

The music coming from the stereo stopped suddenly and Maki could see clearly who was there through the mirror in front of her. Of course it wasn’t one of the dancers, they left almost an hour ago, but she wasn’t expecting a visit from that person either.

She leant to take her towel and the bottle of water from the floor and walked towards the person standing in the wall while she wiped out the sweat of her face and neck.

“So… what’s a pretty girl like you doing here so late?” asked Gocchin before drink some water.

“I’ve discovered something about Rika and I wanna know if you knew about it”

“If I would knew something I’d told you, that’s what we agreed”

“Yeah… but, the last time we talked was…” the voice of the girl sound a bit nervous “…you know… weird?”

Maki couldn’t help but laugh while she was going to the corner to take her sports bag. Then, she returned where the other girl was and looked at the older who seemed to be really uncomfortable.

“Shiba-chan…, it was just one night” said Maki leaning to the other girl’s face dangerously “You thought that I was going to feel awkward to talk to you because of that?”

“Well… I’m feeling that way right now”

The younger caught the hint in Ayumi’s words and realized how close she was actually. She didn’t do it on purpose. It was just that her body acted without thinking, like a defence mechanism against the loneliness. The maxim: if you are cold, find somebody to warm you up.

“Ok… ehm… If you’re going to feel better, we can go to some other place to talk, you know, with more people”

“What do you suggest?” asked Shibata a bit more comfortable

“You had dinner already? Because I’m starving…”

There was nothing interesting on TV. Miki was on the couch pressing buttons randomly, trying to find something to watch while her girlfriend was in the kitchen making some dinner. Finally, she found a documental channel and left the control on the table.

“What are you watching?” asked Yossi passing a plate with sandwiches to Miki.

“Lions” answered her, taking a sandwich and giving a bite.

“Oh”

When Hitomi sat on the couch next to her, Miki left the sandwich on the plate again and rested her head on her girlfriend’s shoulder, while one of her hands was playing on the edge of Yossi’s shirt.

“You know… TV’s boring and I’m not really hungry…”

Another hand skipped under the fabric and caressed the skin. But before she could go further, Yossi took away the hands of her girlfriend from there.

“Miki.., not tonight”

“What’s wrong?” asked Fujimoto worried “It still hurts?”

“Yeah… a little…” answered the younger trying to avoid Miki’s eyes.

Fujimoto knew that something wasn’t right. Yocchan spent the whole day avoiding touching her, sometimes even to look at her. But maybe it was just her imagination.., maybe she didn’t sleep well the last night and was tired.., maybe… maybe she was trying to find something to forget how guilty she was feeling for spent the last night with Aya and not with her girlfriend…

“Yocchan… sorry again for leaving you alone yesterday”

“Forget it. It’s in the past already and the past is something you don’t have to worry about”

“Ok”

Miki surrounded Yossi’s waist with her arms and buried her face on her girlfriend’s chest.

You’ve already forgotten your past, Yocchan?

“Can you tell me why the hell our conversations have to end always in your bed?!”

“Mmh… ‘cause I’m irresistible?”

Gocchin’s answer seemed to piss of Shibata even more, who shot her a murderous look through the sheets where she was hiding her naked body.

“Ok… sorry” apologized Maki sitting in the bed near the other girl “But it wasn’t my fault that the restaurant was closed. It was late already and you didn’t refuse my treat to dinner at home”

“I know…”

“Then don’t look at me as if I was the devil or something…”

Ayumi didn’t know what to think. Even knowing how Maki was she let her to take the control over her body, exactly as the first time. She hated to loose control on herself that way but there was something in the eyes of the younger that she couldn’t resist.

“Shiba-chan? You’re ok?”

Looking at the hand of the other girl shaking in front of her Shibata realized that she was staring at Maki lost in her thoughts.

“Yeah… Ehm… What we should do about Rika-chan?” she said trying to forget that she was still naked in the bed.

“Well… I know that she and Yocchan are hiding something big, but I still don’t know what” Maki scratched her head and drop herself again in the bed “And now with what you’ve told me about Erika… things are even more complicated”

“I have a doubt…”

“Yeah?”

“How do you know so much about what’s happening between Rika and Yoshizawa?”

“I have my sources…”

“And your not going to tell me?” asked Shiba-chan leaning closer to Maki, forgetting to take the sheets with her.

Maki smiled with mischief at the view and then answered with a sexy and playful tone.

"Let me think about it..."
