Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Umi no Hime ❯ A Glimpse of Forever ( Chapter 5 )

Monday. Evening. Way past Haruka's bedtime.

 

My mind kept thinking back to that second I met my aquamarine beauty. Well, I didn't actually meet her, per se. I still didn't know her name, but I know her last name! Thanks to that butler slash driver slash whatever, I don't care! Yeah! *A chibi-Haruka jumps high in the air and does a cartwheel.*

 

After the `too close incident', I didn't have the nerve to look at her, much less to talk to her. But I doubt if I could talk normally at that moment. All I did was, say “Uh. Sorry, miss. I-I…I was not looking at where I'm going,” picked up a few of her belongings and fled the scene without looking back, without even saying goodbye.

 

I know, I know, I'm the lamest person in the world. She probably thinks that I'm a jerk now. Real smooth, Haruka, real smooth.

 

I banged my head three times on the bedside table. My mom called from downstairs, “Is there something wrong, Haruka?” I answered, “Nothing, mom, nothing.”

 

But it's not `nothing'. She isn't just nothing. I can't stop thinking about her. On how marvellous she looked even though she was only wearing a plain white blouse, a light blue skirt and a long coat. With a face so sweet, so angelic…so perfect.

 

I imagined walking with her along the arcade place, hand in hand, and even though we weren't doing anything vulgar, people would look at us with envy in their eyes.

 

`The perfect couple,' some of them would sigh with resentment. I'd hear comments like, `They're made for each other,' or `I couldn't imagine the two of them not together.'

 

I snorted at that last remark on my thoughts. I honestly don't know anything about that girl yet. Whether she likes the wind, racing, music…what she does on her free time, her personality, her aspirations, her fears, her insecurities...and I don't even have any clue on what my Medusa's real name is. But I know, I'm sure, that she will fall in love with me.

 

Someday.

 

I closed my eyes and leaved that thought in mind as I drifted off to sleep.

 

“Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight. …”

- The Way You Look Tonight, Frank Sinatra

 

Author's Notes:

The first day ends, what would fate bring next to the destined couple?
