Chapter 15
Miyuki sat watching the father and daughter argue about Haruka not taking over the company. She quietly sat listening both out; wanting to mediate between the two at some point, but she never had a chance until she finally heard Haruka take a deep breath in and slowly exhaled. She settled down and her father did as well, Miyuki patiently waited for her to speak. When Haruka did, she told her father she will take over the company and nothing will get in her way anymore.
Miyuki watched the girl from where she sat, catching Haruka standing straight, chest out, and looking confident; something she had not seen in a long time.
With that, Haruka went to her bedroom leaving Miyuki and her father in the living room, quietly watching her until she shut the door.
"Well, that worked." The man said going to his bedroom.
Miyuki had to do a double take towards him and stare at him wide eyed as he walked into Miyuki's bedroom without letting her get a word in. Miyuki tried, but she only stuttered a word.
"Wh-what?"
-
Friday finally came and Dinner plans with Yuko and Haruna, were still on. Haruka was excited to meet with the ex-model after such a long time and Miyuki, always being a fan and a friend, was excited as well. Although, Miyuki still had to work, she promised Haruka she would try to finish work quickly to leave early, get home and get ready, then the two can head over for dinner.
Haruka stayed home and decided to clean, since the last few days she had done nothing but be depressed and live in her room. She wasn't big on the whole cleaning but with this feeling better and moving on thing she's got going on, she washed the dishes, threw away spoiled food from the fridge, vacuumed(which she had no idea they had a vacuum), and she decided to do laundry. She hauled all her and Miyuki's dirty clothes to their small laundry room and began to separate the whites, darks, and colors. Then she began to check pants pockets and jacket/sweaters for any loose change Miyuki usually leaves. She had to go through so much, finding a lot of change and cash as well as a small paper in one of Miyuki's pants. She didn't bother to look at it and threw it aside with everything else until she stuck the heavy load of clothes in the washing machine.
Sighing after pushing start, she sat on the floor with the rest of the dirty clothes and grabbed the money to count and tell Miyuki how much money she's been loosing. Just as she finished, she grabbed the small paper and opened it, thinking it was just nothing important, but to her surprise she found Haruu's name and number. She stared at it for a couple seconds which caused her to contemplate wether she should call her, she's been curious to know if it was her or not that told the tabloid everything. Haruu had said it wasn't her in such a convincing way.
"What are you doing?"
She jumped when she heard her father. Looking up at the doorway, she found him buttoning his white collar shirt. "I thought you were gone." She furrowed.
"I came back, I got beer on my shirt." He said, now fixing his sleeves.
Haruka watched him, always had to have everything perfect. "Beer?" She asked, "I thought you were at work."
"I had to meet someone." He replied.
Haruka mentally shook her head, thinking, 'he always has to be so secretive.'
"I see you cleaned the house... Well, still are." He chuckled looking at the pile of clothes around her and Haruka did as well.
"Yeah, the house was a mess." Haruka said, looking back up at him.
"Good, I was about to get a maid to clean." He turned to leave, but his daughter stopped him.
"Wait," she stood up from the floor. "When are we heading back to Japan?"
"Sunday." He replied. "Have everything ready by then." He turned back to go finish getting ready.
"Wait," she stopped him from leaving again. "I was wondering..."
"Yes?" He turned back raising a brow.
"If I can do my big return... For fashion week." She coughed out the last part. Yet, he caught what she said.
The man gave a small chuckle and said, "No." And with that he quickly walked back to the bedroom with Haruka at his heels.
"Come on! It will throw everyone off and press would go crazy, good publicity for you and your clothes will sell more than it has been these last few months-"
"He stopped again, turning to find Haruka having to step back an inch from him. "How do you know about that?"
Haruka smirked, "I saw the paperwork..."
The man let out a low growl from the back of his throat and turned, again, to the bedroom actually making it in this time and grabbing his suit jacket.
Haruka waited for him to say something, watching him throw on his suit.
"I'm not using you to gain publicity or gain more money. Once fashion week is over, you will get back to work and no one will give it much care."
Haruka scoffed. "Wow, actually caring about me now." She was the one to turn and leave the bedroom now and her father followed.
"Hey!" He shouted, causing his daughter to turn, "I care about you. I'm sick of hearing you say I don't."
Haruka could see he was angry.
"I'm here, I took care of you, I worked this hard for you!" He pointed at her. "Everything I'm doing is for you and your future."
Haruka only gave him a blank stare, not believing him. "You say that, but are you?"
The man was going to reply to that, but decided not to. He only cleared his throat and buttoned his suit, "I'm going now." He grabbed his keys and wallet and left.
Haruka only turned back to finish the laundry.

Yui hasn't spoken to Rie since that day, well Rie never gave her the chance. Most of the time, Rie would be busy with work and also ignore Yui's calls, not ready to speak to the girl. Yui knew why, and honestly she didn't want to go through it, she wanted to keep fighting for the relationship.
Finally, remembering Rie was coming out early from work, Yui waited for her in the lobby of the company building. The minute Rie caught her sitting on a leather couch, playing with her phone, she took a deep breath and walked up to, Yui.
Yui heard the girls heels clicking towards her and looked up, quickly staggering to stand on her own two feet.
"Hey." Yui spoke in an almost whisper.
"Hi." Rie replied in the same soft voice as well.
"I was waiting for you, I'd like to take you out to eat." Yui scratched the back of her head, trying to act innocent.
Rie shook her head. "I don't think we should go out. I want to talk..."
"Sure..."
"I'll make us dinner at my place." Rie said, and Yui gave a nod, sticking her arm out to let Rie go first and she would follow.
Once they made it to the apartment, Rie went straight to cooking and Yui stood by watching her, not knowing what to do really. She watched her take things out of the fridge, the cabinets, watched her cook, and slowly Yui inched closer to her until she stood behind her, wrapping her arms around Rie's waist and resting her chin her shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Rie asked, not moving an inch.
Yui didn't reply, she only planted a kiss on her cheek and moved to kiss her jawline, down to the girls neck and began to suckle it. Rie didn't stop her however, she only let her continue, feeling the heat rising between the two.
Yui turned Rie around to face her, her lips pressing up against Rie's and continued to kiss her. Everything began to go quickly, one minute she pressed Yui up against the counter and the next they were in the bedroom. Yui reached to behind Rie to unzip her dress to take it right off.
Rie, then took the hem of Yui's dress shirt to pull it off and now the two were in bed with clothes being thrown everywhere.
Yui kissed Rie and Rie kissed Yui. At one point, Yui sat up, over her girlfriend, looking her over, from head to toe and... She leaned down to kiss her, but before her lips even met Rie's, she rolled off of her, the two laying on their backs, chest going up and down, and staring at the ceiling.
Rie could tell that by the look Yui had when she dyed her up and down, her mind was somewhere else. "You still aren't over her..."
"I tried..." Yui replied.
Rie sat up, grabbing her dress from the floor and threw it on. Yui sat up as well and watched her.
"I think we need a break. Once you've settled your feelings you can talk to me." Rie turned to her.
Yui shook her head, "I don't want a break. I can settle my feelings now."
"You can't even go through this." She said, pointing out what happened seconds ago. "All I want is for you to be happy and you aren't."
"But I've been happy with you."
"You try... You shouldn't try."
Yui stayed quiet.
"I'll go to Paris for the two weeks on my own... Maybe when I come back you would have made up your mind." Rie said, turning away from her and standing up. She left the bedroom with Yui sitting half naked on her own.

All the running around and paperwork was keeping Miyuki busy. She helped with designs, order more fabrics and accessories for the clothing line, and made sure everything was ready for fashion week, she had no time to rest. It was good, however, time flew by and she was looking forward to the dinner.
Already done with the last few orders she signed for, she finished her day, ready to head home, when her boss walked into her office asking,
"Miyuki, did you order the flowers for-" he stopped when he looked up, finding her with her things in hand. "Leaving?" He asked.
Miyuki nodded, "yeah, I have plans with Haruka."
"Is that so?" He asked. He made his way over to the desk, placing the file down and taking a seat. "Where are you two going?"
"We have dinner plans." Miyuki replied. She didn't want to tell him what exactly they were going to do for the night, seeing that Haruka had asked her not to say a word last night.
"The two of you?" He asked, his leg crossing over the other.
"Yeah..." She replied in one word now. She was afraid she may say too much.
"Can I join?" He asked with a smile.
Miyuki stared at him, trying to come up with an excuse instead of her one word answer, 'no.'
He chuckled and stood up again, grabbing his file. "Im only teasing. I need to finish up here before I leave back to, Japan. Have fun." He chuckled as he walked out. But he popped his head back in, telling Miyuki, "please, keep Haruka from anymore trouble."
Miyuki gave a nod and he left. She took a breath of air and relaxed, the man was sometimes too intense even if moments seemed calm.
Haruka sat on the couch waiting for Miyuki and when she did arrive, Haruka jumped up from the couch and ran to her, asking her why she was late. Miyuki opened her mouth to ask, 'what?' But she didn't say a word and looked at the time on her phone.
"Haruka, we have an hour." She giggled.
"I know, but I want to see Haruna already." Haruka replied. She was very excited.
"I'll quickly shower and change." Miyuki smiled. She turned away from Haruka, wanting to head to the bedroom, but she stopped at the door when she felt her friends presence behind her. Turning she found Haruka at her heels. Miyuki laughed. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Haruka cutely smiled.
Miyuki only shook her head and widely smiled back at her.
-
Haruna, was just as excited as Haruka. She wasn't sitting on the couch ready however, she was actually finishing getting ready. In the middle of finishing her make up, she heard the front door open and like a puppy, she stood from her small seat and ran over to greet her wife.
"Hey!" She smiled to which Yuko replied with a huge grin as she checked her wife out, scanning her from toe to head, catching her wife's smile turning into a frown. "Where the hell have you been?" Haruka smacked the shorter woman.
"Ow." Yuko frowned, rubbing away the pain from her arm.
"I've been waiting they will be here soon and there's no food or wine or cheese. Nothing!" Haruka cried.
Yuko smiled again, finding her wife very attractive when she was upset. "Relax, honey. We have about an hour, I'll quickly make the food, the wine is in the bag, and-"
"You need to get ready still!" Haruna cut her off.
"And I'll get ready." Yuko walked up to Haruna and took her by the waist, reaching up to kiSs her. "Relax." Haruna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, relaxing into Yuko's hold.
-
Miyuki and Haruka were finally in the car ready to go. Haruka tried rushing Miyuki while she did her make up and Miyuki kept telling her to calm down, but Haruka was eager to meet with Haruna again, she wanted to arrive there already.
She relaxed a bit once Miyuki began to drive, the two silently listening to music playing on the radio. The drive wouldn't be long but with traffic at this time, on a Friday night, Miyuki knew it would take them the lasting of the twenty minutes to get to Yuko's and Haruna's. For the meantime it was decided the two should talk to get through the traffic quicker.
"Your dad is always so secretive isn't he?" Miyuki started off with that.
Haruka sighed, "he has always been like that... I know he is up to something now, but I don't want to know."
"Aren't you curious though?" Miyuki turned to her once they stopped at a red light.
Haruka shook her head. "I don't. I know that if I do it will hurt me."
Miyuki only nodded, but soon asked. "Wouldn't it hurt when you find out later?"
The light finally turned green and Miyuki continued, waiting for Haruka to answer.
"I don't ever really find out anything, if I do it's usually half the truth and it's the half that doesn't hurt me."
There was a silence now. Miyuki wanted to respond but it seemed like Haruka was losing herself in her thoughts.
"Also, I know if I find out the whole truth... I'll want to stay away from my father and honestly," she took a breath of air. "I can't handle loosing him, especially when he is the only family I have."
Miyuki had another stop and once she did she reached over to take Harukas hand. Haruka turned, without a word from Miyuki, she understood she would be there for her no matter what, she will be the closest thing to family.
Finally arriving to Yuko and Haruna's place, the two stood in front of their door, Haruka shaking in excitement. They were slightly late, about ten minutes, but that was only because they didn't have anything to bring so they stopped by a small bakery for a cake.
"Knock." Miyuki said. She held the box of cake in her hands.
"Ah, right." Haruka said after realizing Miyuki couldn't. She balled her fist and excitedly... gave a soft knock. In moments the door opened and found a shorter girl with a toothy smile, catching an apron on her.
"Hi." She greeted. "Come in." She stepped aside, opening the door wider, and letting in the two girls. "Sorry, I'm still cooking." She looked down at her apron.
"It's alright." Haruka said. "This is Miyuki, by the way." She pointed at her friend.
"I remember you." Yuko smiled as she closed the door. "We met at one of the companies party a couple years back."
Miyuki tried to recall but got nothing. "I don't remember," she chuckled, embarrassed she has forgotten. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it was only when Haruna and I began dating." Yuko laughed. "Come in, Haruna is probably in her bedroom on her phone. Oh let me take that." She saw the box in Miyuki's hands and took it.
Yuko lead the girls to the living room and the two guests were amazed at how well decorated the room was. Haruka knew this was Haruna's work.
"This is beautiful." Haruka said. The designed room was something out of a magazine.
"Thank you." Finally the woman Haruka's been waiting to see for awhile appears.
"Haruna!" Haruka smiled widely, extremely happy to finally see her old friend. The two walked up to each other and hugged.
"Long time no see!" Haruna said, slightly pulling back from the hug. "You've grown." She commented.
"And you look much more beautiful than before." Haruka replied.
"I've grown into a woman." Haruna joked.
Haruka laughed and the two gave another tight hug, only to be pulled apart by Yuko.
"Hey, okay, she's married."
The girls laughed. Haruna walked over to Miyuki and greeted her as well.
"Hi, Miyuki, still cute as ever! I remember you always smiling up at me during photoshoots." She gave her a hug and pulled back just to pinch the girls red cheeks.
"I'm only cute when you're around." Miyuki muttered as her cheeks were still being pinched.
"How about some wine?" Yuko asked.
"I'll get the wine." Haruna said, "sit. Yuko will finish dinner soon." She told the two younger girls and eyed her wife. She had been a little upset at her partner for distracting them earlier and had a late start for dinner. The married couple headed to the kitchen, grabbing some glasses and a bottle of the most expensive wine in France, as well as Yuko checking up on the food.
From the living room Haruka and Miyuki could see the couple and they both giggled to themselves watching them interact.
Moments later, dinner was ready. Everyone sat at the table, their stomachs grumbling for the food they smelled. Yuko, served the plates and more wine, while the other three continued their conversation. Yuko didn't pay much attention since they only spoke about fashion and models, although Yuko did listen in on the models names, drooling over them. Haruna caught her and gave a small stomp on her foot from under the table.
The evening was going well, once dinner was over, Yuko picked up everyone's dirty dish, but Haruka got up to help. Haruna and Yuko both told her to not lift a finger, however, Haruka didn't listen to them and helped.
With the last two dishes in hand, Haruka took them to Yuko who washed the dishes and asked Haruka what was up.
Haruka placed the plates down and looked up at her. "Nothing is up, why?"
"I can tell that you wanted to tell me something when you offered to help." Yuko replied, grabbing one of the plates Haruka brought.
Taking a deep breath she answered. "Okay, there is something." She said quietly so the other two friends won't hear. "I found Haruu's number and now, I kind of want to call her..."
"Do it." Yuko said.
"Really?" Haruka asked.
"Yeah, if you want to speak to her go for it."
"Yeah, but I met with her and she might be the one who told the tabloids about everything."
"Might be?" Yuko asked as she washed a plate.
"Well, she said it wasn't her and I kind of left... She was the only other person I told... while I was drunk." She explained.
"Try talking to her, you'll know if she is lying or not." Yuko said.
"What if she is a good liar?"
"Then, she's good." Yuko smirked.
"You're no help." Haruka rolled her eyes.
Yuko laughed and went on washing the dishes. The two continued to talk until Haruna came back for another bottle of wine, cheap wine this time.
"What are you two talking about?" She asked once she took the bottle out a cabinet on Yuko's side.
Yuko finished the dishes and dried her hands. "Nothing. We are getting to know each other." She replied to her.
Haruna smiled. "Good." She reached down to kiss her wife and Haruka blushed a little, never was she around many couples so open like they were, she remembers with Sayaka and Yui it was more private, also with her ex husband.
"I left Miyuki, come we need to continue our talk." Haruna said looking over to Haruka and the three headed back to the living room, drinking and conversing about anything.
It was already eleven at night and the girls couldn't stop conversing, they came up with any topic that at one point it was about a 'celebrity you would date', which ended with Yuko jealous and pouting at Haruna. The girls were so distracted in their conversation they didn't even notice the time, yet, they continued until Yuko remembered the cake. She got up to grab plates and serve. This time, Miyuki ran over to help.
"So," Haruka turned to Haruna, taking her glass of wine into her hand, "have you thought about going back to Japan and modeling again? I bet my father would love to have you back."
Haruna tilted her head and thought about it. "I don't know, I'd really love to return to modeling but..."
"But?" Haruka asked.
"I haven't actually thought about going back. I guess I'm happy with Yuko."
Haruka smiled. "You two look very happy."
"Thank you." Haruna smiled as well. She turned to find Yuko staring at the two, quickly putting a smile on her face and returning with the cake in hand and Miyuki.
By the end of the night, Miyuki and Haruka were offered to spend the night, but Miyuki had work in the afternoon, and she knew she would sleep in after staying up so late. The girls said their good nights and the guests left.
Yuko and Haruna were left with a table of left over cake, empty wine glasses, and an empty wine bottle. Yuko walked over and began picking up when Haruna approached her from behind, wrapping her arms around the girls waist and softly planting a kiss on her cheek.
"Haruka asked me if I ever thought about going back to Japan." She whispered to her wife, "and now I can't stop thinking about it."
Yuko placed the plate she had picked up back on the table and ran her hands over Haruna's arms. "I don't want to go back..." Yuko whispered, wincing a bit, she expected for Haruna to go off like every other time they had a conversation about going back.
Instead of the shouting, Haruna let go of Yuko and stepped away from her. Yuko turned and found her almost in the verge of tears.
"Haruna, babe,-"
"Stop." Haruna cut her off. "Why do you always do this? I gave up so much for you. You said we would go back home but it hasn't happened."
"I just don't like it there, I thought you were happy here?"
"I'm happy with you, I love Paris, but I want to go home and..." She sobbed into her hands.
Yuko quickly approached her and tried to wrap her arms around her wife to comfort her explain why she didn't want to go back to Japan, but instead, Haruna pushed her away and headed to their bedroom with Yuko at her heels only to be shut out by the door slamming in her face. Yuko was about to knock when the door opened rapidly and a pillow and blanket came flying to her face knocking her back and on the ground. She pulled the blanket off her head and found Haruna giving her a glare then shutting the door again.
Yuko slept on the couch, she had to take off her nice clothes and slept in just bra and panties; not like she cared. She felt bad, horrible for causing her wife to cry, she never wanted to upset her wife after a good night. Her thoughts only kept her up now, figuring out what she should do, wishing she had never made a deal with Mr. Shimazaki...
She recalled the night he approached her at her apartment door back in Japan, in his thousand dollar suit slightly wet from the rain and an umbrella hanging on his arm.
"Yuko," he said in such a sophisticated voice, "I'd like to talk to you."
"Talk." Yuko replied.
"You cannot tell anyone what you heard, you can't let Haruna find out, and you can't come near my daughter. Understand?" Though sophisticated he sounded threatening.
"Or else?"
He chuckled. "Very smart..." He cleared his throat and spoke up again. "I can have you removed from school, your future can go down the drain."
Yuko scoffed, "yeah, right." She turned to open her door when he stopped her.
"Also, I can convince Haruna to break it off with you and I know you don't want to lose her."
She turned towards him, this time upset at him. "What?"
"If you keep this a secret, convince Haruna to leave to France with you where you would get a job right after you graduate, I can promise you I won't tell Haruna about your past."
"What do you know about my past?"
"The things your parents made you do." He said.
Yuko walked up to the man, raising a finger, "you are an evil man!"
"I really am not." He smirked. "Now, deal?"
Yuko took a minute to think and finally answered. "Deal."
Now, laying on the couch, the pent up anger towards the man rose, but she took a deep breath remembering she did the right thing; she made sure Haruna would never know. She would rather have her not know and be upset with her, than be around such an evil man.
