If Jealousy Could Kill

Chapter 3: A Sight Worth Not Seeing

“I’m so tired,” Mami whined as she and Rina were forced to climb the stairs. Normally, they just took the elevator up to the third floor apartment but no, things couldn’t be that easy. The elevator just had to be out of order, forcing the two already tired girls to make the trek up three flights of stairs. Rina ignored her blonde friend’s whining, she had been doing that since the two of them got off the train together. They had decided to meet up at Rina’s work so they could go back to Rina and Haruna’s apartment together. None of them had work or school tomorrow, so the next day was the perfect time for all of them to have a girl’s day to themselves.

“Why couldn’t you two get an apartment on the first floor?” Mami continued to whine as Rina continued to ignore her. The girls eventually made it to the apartment. Rina fished out her keys from her bag, missing the lock a few times before she finally forced the key in. She was way too tired to handle this right now and Mami’s constant whining wasn’t helping. When Mami got tired, she reverted to acting like she was five years old.

As the two girls entered the apartment and walked towards the living room, they both stopped in the door way, stunned at the sight that awaited them. Sitting on the couch, or more like laying, Haruna had Tomomi pinned beneath her, feverishly kissing the younger brunette. It didn’t look like Tomomi could go anywhere even if she tried, not that she actually wanted to escape from Haruna’s grasp. Mami let out a heavy sigh at the scene in front of them. Unfortunately for the two girls, this was too common of sight. They’d often come home to find Haruna shoving her tongue down someone’s throat. She didn’t really seem to understand the concept or privacy of get a room no matter how many times Rina tried to explain those concepts to her. Mami had always asked how Rina was never bothered by it and Rina always told her she was used to it.

Besides, none of the girls were threats. Haruna didn’t love any of them, they were just innocent fun. Rina was the only one her Haruna would ever truly love. But she’d never tell those words to Mami, it wasn’t the right time. The truth would come out soon enough.

“Haruna! Tomomi!” Mami shouted loudly at the two distracted girls. Tomomi let out a small shriek, shoving Haruna backwards so hard that she fell off the couch, crashing into the coffee table. Rina and Mami burst out laughing, seeing Haruna sprawled out on the floor as she groaned from the impact.

“Jesus Christ, Tomomi,” she groaned, sitting up and rubbing the back of her head. Tomomi sat up, curled up in a corner of the couch and staring at Rina and Mami in horror. How long had they been standing there? Haruna and Tomomi had been too wrapped up in each other to notice.

“Really, Haruna? You’ve known the girl for a week. Could you stop jumping on everyone you see?” Mami commented with a smirk.

“I do not jump on everyone I see!” Haruna defended, “just the cute ones.” Mami rolled her eyes at the statement. Way to defend yourself.

“And what do you have to say for yourself, Tomomi?” she said, turning to the younger brunette.

“I…She…We…. She forced me to!” Tomomi stuttered before shouting. Rina and Mami exchanged glances, shaking their heads. She was such a terrible liar.

“Sure she did,” Mami said skeptically before walking over to the couch, giving Tomomi a small, rough shove to move her over. Rina joined Mami on the couch, sitting next to her and leaving Haruna on the floor.

“I’m fine, thanks for asking though,” Haruna retorted sarcastically, moving over to lean against the side of the couch near Rina. Rina patted Haruna’s head softly.

“Oh, I’m sorry, is my little player okay?” She asked, earning herself a snicker from Mami’s direction. Haruna glared menacingly at Rina. Rina laughed softly at Haruna’s glare, patting Haruna on the head again. Haruna growled softly, punching Rina in the leg lightly before crossing her arms over her chest.
