Chapter 1: Those Days called Memories

It was one of days, those days that she just want to throw all the paper works and runaway from all these endless politics she has to deal with everyday. Senseless politics that drove him away from her.

Crap. There she goes again. Reminiscing about that unforgettable day.The day they both decided to end their relationship. The day he said goodbye to her. The very same day she last saw him.

She straightened herself, shrugging off the thoughts that were slowly bringing tears to her eyes. She's already over him. He's gone now. There's no helping it. He chose that path. And she chose this one. This is for the better. ORB needs her, more than he does. He can tend to his needs by himself. ORB cant.

But is she really over him?

That's it! She cant help not thinking about him. As tears pooled in her eyes, the memories she shared with him started playing in her mind, and a familiar ache started to pierce her heart.

Athrun you jerk...How could you do this to me?

The memories of their first meeting in the isolated island, their first kiss, their first battle together, their monents spent in each others arms and... their promises to each other.

Promises... How Ironic. How very much ironic.

Considering their current situation now, those promises looked like promises written on the sand.

Taking a deep breath, she tried shrugging of her thoughts with him and decided to focus on her work.She took a folder of files and started scanning them.

I shouldnt be thinking about that jerk. He doesnt deserve to be think about anyways.

She started reading the files when her moblie phone started ringing.

"Just when you're in the mood, someone comes calling to break it off..ugh!"

Annoyed by the shrill ringing of her phone, she clicked it on. In her most annoyed sounding voice, she spoke: "Hello? "

Only a rush of static replied to her, annoying her more.

"Hello? I can hear you! Hello? Kisaka? Is that you?"

More static.

"This is going no where. Try calling me back, I'm hanging up!"

Just when she was about to hang up, a hoarse voice began talking at the other line.

"...You are worthless... you dont deserve to be this noble country's head. A useless irresponsible person such as you are. You deserve to die..."

"What? I'm sorry but I dont understand what you are saying?" Her heart was now pounding loudly.

"...Dont play dumb with me Little girl. Or maybe you are dumb. Well that's awhole new reason why this country dont need the likes of you... But dont worry, I'll take care of that..."

She was now trembling with not noticing it. Her palms were sweaty and her color had drained from her face.

"I..I...I'm sorry, but I think you got the wrong number..."

She was about to hung up, hoping the person would stop from his threats but instead, a loud, menacing laughter echoed through the handset.

Stunned, she dropped the phone, with the maniacal laugh still echoing from the phone's speakers.

"I was knocking for almost 5 minutes why dont you let me in...Cagalli are you ok?"

Kisaka dropped the portfolio he was carrying and quickly rushed at Cagalli's side. Her face had been drained of all it's color and fear was written all over her face.

"Are you ok, what happened?" Kisaka grabbed Cagalli on her shoulders, searching for an answer on her scared visage. But only a scared muted Cagalli gave him a weak gaze and pointed at her dropped phone.

Kisaka picked it up, and tried listening on whatever scared his lady.

"Hello?"

But only the dull voice of the static replied to him, irritating him.

"Cagalli, tell me, what happened jut now?"

"I..I..I'm not sure...I..I...A..A.th.."

She lost conscoiusness, with the name of that person coming out from her lips.

Athrun.

She found herself sitting under the warm shade of the old oak tree. The breeze was soft against her cheeks and the sunny azure skies was perfect. On her lap, his sleeping form, a face as calm as the azure skies above them. She softly traced his sleeping profile, from his perfect nose to his cheeks to his jawline.

"It tickles Cagalli."

"Huh? so you were awake all this time?"

Keeping his eyes still closed, he took her hand and entwined with his.

"No...I was asleep, I was awaken by your tickling."

"Oh.. I'm sorry.." She smiled and caressed his forehead.

"Go back to sleep. I wont tickle you anymore"

He opened one eye, blinking at the sun's brightness.

"I cant...I wanna look at you like this..."

Blushing at his remark, she covered his eyes with her hand and giggled.

"Now you cant see me, go back to sleep."

"Ha. HA. HA. Very funny."

He took off her hand and straightened up. He leaned closer to her face, only few inches seperating them.

"Uhm... Athrun...I.."

"I wish this moment will last forever..."

"Athrun?"

He cupped her face with his both hands, taking them closer to his. His lips gently touched hers, brushing softly like the breeze. His hand found hers and entwining them.She could feel the hotness on her cheeks now. Her heart was not only racing but was also pounding loudly inside her ears.

"You blush like a girl Cagalli...you look very cute when you blush."

He kissed her again, this time on her forehead.

Cagalli pouted at his remark.Seeing her reaction, he started laughing, bring much annoyance to her.

"What's so funny about that?"

"You look much cuter when you're like that!" He pinched her cheeks, and took her into his chest

" I'll stay by your side always, protecting this smile of yours, what ever it takes,...I promise that... "

He took her blushing visage again and placed another soft kiss on her lips.

"I promise you that.. my Precious Rose..."
