With a cigarette lit on her hand, Akira was inside of her Mustang blowing some smoke. Her muscle car was parked outside of her girlfriend's apartment.

She waited to consume her cancer stick in her hand. She didn't want Shizuku to see her smoking, not wanting a reprimand from her.

She idly shuffled some songs on her Ipod attached to her car stereo. Then the One More Night by Maroon 5 randomly played through the speakers.

You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war.

You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door.

You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score.

You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.

Nicotine in her bloodstream calmed her nerves. Akira felt relaxed plus the four empty Budweiser cans on the floor helped. The cost is that her vision were becoming blurred.

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.

Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.

Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.

And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.

Her phone in the dashboard buzzed. She looked that she has four missed calls and text message from Shizuku.

'Aki-chan, where are you?'

She tapped her phone for the reply. 'I'm outside of your apartment. I'm coming in.'

So I cross my heart and I hope to die

That I'll only stay with you one more night

And I know I said it a million times

But I'll only stay with you one more night

Akira went outside of her car while consuming the last can of Budweiser, throwing it inside of her car. She also threw her cigarette butt somewhere on the ground.

She straightened her newly dressed blue Nike t-shirt as made her way to Shizuku's apartment. Even with her tipsy state, she reached the door in a minute.

"Shizuku, baby love." She called in her endearing name as she knocked.

Shizuku managed to open the door and frowned at Akira's appearance. "Aki-chan.."

"Can I come in?" Shizuku nodded and held her hand, guiding her to the bed. Her nose twitched unknowingly as she smelled the smoke and alcohol lingering on its clothes.

Before Akira went up her apartment, Shizuku saw her from her window finishing her cigarette and drinking a can of beer. She indeed confirmed her suspicions of Akira's smoking and drinking habits. She was very concern to her girlfriend's health knowing the potential risks of smoke and alcohol to her body.

Shizuku instructed Akira to sit down on her bed and made her way to the bathroom to get a warm water and towel. Akira gave a confused look to her. "What are you doing?"

She didn't answer and brought the basin with lukewarm water and towel. Akira made no attempt to move from her place. Either she didn't care or she was too tipsy to stand up. Shizuku positioned herself to face the blonde, while squeezing the damp towel. She turned to face Akira and wipe her face.

"I know that you drank and smoke before getting here, Aki-chan." Akira didn't answer. Shizuku glanced Akira's arm. It was neatly bandaged and stabilized. She smiled that her arm was treated.

"How's your arm, Aki-chan?" With a worried tone in her voice. "I'm sorry that I didn't go down there to help you. You know, my father was there."

That word made Akira frowned, crossing her eyebrows. "Sayuri made me go to the clinic and accompanied me there." Shizuku was holding the basin, dropped it making the water spill on Akira's bandaged arm. "Ouch! What the hell is your problem?" She yelled.

"You were with that girl again. You are making me jealous!" Shizuku yelled back crossing her arms.

"Why should I do that? Now what, I am not allowed to have friends in school? She is the only one who listens to me about my problems to you of not coming out of the closet.

"I can't anyone know that I'm a lesbian especially to my father. It will ruin us, our name and reputation."

Akira chuckled with a sarcasm. "How will it will ruin you and your father? Actually, it will help because of my father's good reputation also."

"Because my father called your family freak. A menace to the society." She shouted then. After that, silence crowded all over the room.

Akira blinked her eyes many times, before understanding what she just heard. "Wow!...You know what, kaichou-San. I can't do this anymore." Akira stood from the bed, but a loose hug from Shizuku prevent her from leaving. Shizuku rested her head on Akira's broad shoulders. She could feel that Akira was now shaking because of her emotions.

"I didn't mean that Aki-chan, I love you. Knowing your family, I already love them. They are so fun and cheerful. For me, you are my everything." Akira fought her will to not cry while Shizuku was clinging to her for life.

"You are lying! I'm nothing for you. For me, you are the love of my life. My soulmate and destined one. I felt the butterflies whenever I'm with you, Shizuku. But, you." She broke free from the Shizuku's embrace. "You saw me only as your past time, an entertainment whenever you feel lonely. You hate men, yet you act like a straight girl. So if want to continue your reputation just set me free from your games.." Shizuku didn't let her finish the sentence.

"Games?! Now you are complaining throughout of 3 years of our relationship. You knew the perks of being my girlfriend, Aki-chan. " Shizuku raised her voice. She panted heavily while her heart beats faster than normal.

"Yeah, I never thought that this is starting to hurt. It hurts because you're ashamed of me, you're ashamed of our relationship." Akira bowed down her head, tears start falling from her eyes. For the first time, Shizuku saw her lover cried. She didn't know what to do. She was guilty that she was breaking the Akira's heart every day.

"Aki-chan... If it's too much for you to bear, maybe we should break up." Shizuku said with a hint of regret. Akira was stunned but managed to laugh sarcastically.

"You will throw it just like that, eh?" She looked Shizuku with anger in her eyes. She inched her face closer against Shizuku's. Akira gripped her both hands on Shizuku's shoulder.

"I'll break up with you if you tell me that you don't love me anymore." Her burgundy eyes looked at Shizuku's emeralds. Shizuku was silent. She shook her gently, waiting for her answer.

"I didn't love you anymore!" Akira was beyond shocked and immediately let her go. Before she turned her back to go away. Shizuku grabbed her shirt, pulling towards her for a kiss.

'This will be the last time she will seduce me.'  Akira thought as she hungrily kissed back. She picked at the same time caressed Shizuku's leg up, wrapping it around her waist. She carried her to her bed, laying their bodies through out the night. The night will be the start of their troubles.
