Mizuho leaned over and put a hand on the girls shoulder. "Erika....you dont have to cry anymore....tell you what any monster that gets near you i will beat his ass back down?" Mizuho flexed her arm at the girl laughing.

"You sound like..."

I whimpered a little laughing at the same time shaking my head holding my eyes in my hand.

"whats wrong?....." Mizuho leaned forward and planted a senouse kiss on the girls tender lips like she had a previous day.

"A girl I knew my best frined... she used to say the same thing to me about... about men... "

I told her after a few minutes passed of course so I could enjoy the kiss she had offered to me.

"My memory of her... it's what's doing this..."

Mizuho pushed the girl back slowly on the bed and reached up brushing her hair aside. "shhh...." She placed a finger over the girls mouth before kissing her again this one more passionate and deeper. Her eft hand found the girls own hand and interlocked with it.

I had often pushed away this sort of attention when it was offered, and I always ended up in a weeping pile of sorrow. Though Mizuho seemed just so much like her that maybe I as letting her because I missed crystal though I wouldn't admit it. I'd just let her continue my own attempt at reciprocating quite obviously lacked knowledge.

"even though Mizuho was with another girl she had for some reason been drawn to this girl. "Erica.....will you....." She kissed the girls neck now. "will you be my gf?" She said, licking over to the other side of the girls neck. Her tender touch trying to do everything she can to calm the girl.

"I..."

I couldn't say anything else frozen as the words echoed through my head in Mizuho's voice then in Crystal's I was about to breakdown in tears and my body's quivering made it quite obvious.

Mizuho suddenly jerked back and grabbed the side of her head. "im sorry i shouldnt....i mean...it wasnt..." She sat there for a minute before getting up and going to the window looking out. "im sorry"

"It isn't you Mizuho... I'm just afraid history is repeating itself word for word nearly."

I'd stand and walk over to her gazing out the window myself thinking of the best way to explain.

Mizuho glanced over her shoulder. "do you not like me?" She said, her mind racing at what she could possibly say. "i probably wont be like your last.....but id treat you well"

Mizuho turned toward the girl and smiled alittle. "please......i like you Erica....i promise" She hugged the girl gently.

I sighed deeply hand on my chin.

"I'm not sure I'd ever be able to get Crystal to forgive me if I did say yes seeing how easily I brushed her off when she asked the same thing... she's the entire reason I do half of what I do."

Mizuho felt her heart sink, walking over to sit at the edge of the bed. Her hands running through her hair, she began to cr softly. For once in her life she actually cried.
