BROKEN VOW

CHAPTER 1- I'm Coming Home Now
The sunset warmed her and a gentle breeze made her sundress' skirt dance. She hung on to her hat and smiled to welcome the evening. The soft waves lapped her bare feet and quickly retreated back.
It's been almost three years now, she thought remembering that resentful past of her foolishness. Tomorrow marks yet another day of my fatuous infatuation. She turned and headed back to the beach house where her friends were waiting. And tomorrow would be the one-millionth time I tell myself to forget it.

He can hardly wait. He fidgeted in his seat and kept on asking for the time as if he was a kid waiting for Santa to arrive. Everyone in the plane, even his Arabian seatmate, was starting to get irritated. He has never been like this his whole life but excitement just kept getting the better out of him.
"Relax," the boy beside him advised. "You keep on asking for the time every 5 seconds or so. Don't worry, we'll get there." He gave the other boy a promising smile and returned to his sleep.
It's been too long for me, my friend. Much too long. But instead of vocalizing his thoughts, he simply said, "Yes, you are right."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He just couldn't take it easy despite his friends' suggestion. An informant confirmed her whereabouts yesterday and he wanted to go there just as soon as the plane landed but they were instructed to settle into their temporary house first.
Now, he was walking down the same street like he used to hundreds of times before. Even the landmarks were still there, almost nothing has changed. Hopefully, the same goes for her.
As he sauntered the common route, he couldn't help but wonder how she'd look like, what her reaction would be. Is her hair that same color of gold? Did she cut it or did she let it grow? Would she be taller than I am? Maybe she got a tan! Will she smile slowly and then shriek like she used to? Or will she just scream and hug me like old times when she gets surprised?
The string of questions entertained him and now, he found himself facing that same old door of her apartment. Loud music and girly giggles were heard from inside and he felt hesitant to burst in like this. But the thought better of it and inhaled deeply, raising his clenched hand to knock. Here goes nothing.
Just then, the door opened…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You are the dancing queeeeennnn!!! Young and sweeeeet only seventeeeeeennnn!!!" The speakers blared Usagi's voice which was obviously mismatched with the tune.
"Oh my gosh!" cried Rei, her hands covering her ears. "Mina, your glassware will be shattered any minute now!"
The others laughed merrily but the other girl kept on singing. "Have mercy on my eardrums!" pleaded Minako teasingly. She stood up and went to the kitchen, Ami and Makoto following her.
"Hey, Mina," Makoto called out as her friend opened the refrigerator. "It's great to see that you're finally loosening up. You know, after that 'incident'."
"Of course! That was a long time ago. No need to sulk about it," the blonde answered, her head still inside the fridge.
"So," Ami started hesitantly, her fingers drumming on the counter. "Does this mean you're finally over him?" Silence followed and lasted for a long time. Finally, Mina straightened and closed the door.
"Would you look at that!" she exclaimed, smiling a little too brightly. "We're out of ice cream. I'll run to the store, what do you want?"
The blue-haired girl started to protest but Minako was already heading to the door.
"I'm out for ice cream, what's it gonna be?" she told the other two girls who were having a sing-along competition.
"Rocky Road!"
"Double Dutch!"
"Okay! Cookies and cream it is!" Mina announced and put her shoes on. She grabbed her bag and turned the knob. Maybe I should try other flavors, she thought as the door opened.
She gave a little yelp when she saw someone standing outside and gasped the first word that came to her mind.
"Trowa."
