The Beginning of a Happy Ending

Chapter 1

Read-accept-sign. Read-accept-sign. Read-reject. Read-reject. Read-accept-sign.

The blonde princess is seriously doing her work when a buzz from the intercom interrupted her.

"Miss Cagalli, a Mr. Amalfi wants to speak with you. He doesn't have an appointment but will you let him in? He says it's urgent." her secretary said.

Amalfi….Where did I hear that name? Cagalli thought.

"Athena, send him in after 10 minutes, I'm almost through. Thank you."

"Yes, Miss Cagalli."

After 10 minutes, the door to her office opened but Cagalli didn't even glance at her visitor. She's still reading the last page of the proposal Kisaka handed her.

Without looking up from her paperwork, she said "Mr. Amalfi, please take a seat and wait for awhile."

The man didn't bother to reply.

"At last! So what brings you here Mr…." and as Cagalli looked up from the papers to the other occupant of her office, her eyes became wide.

"What brings you here Athrun?!" she hissed.

Athrun was taken aback by the contempt in Cagalli's voice while saying his name.

"I just want to see you Cagalli." Athrun said.

"Ha! After a year you suddenly wanted to see me?!"

The nerve of this guy! After avoiding me for a year, he suddenly shows up.

"Go straight to the point Athrun"

"I just want to….I want to" Athrun's calm demeanor was replaced by nervousness.

"I don't have all day you know." Cagalli was impatiently tapping her fingers on the desk. She was indeed irritated.

"I want to apolo"

Athrun was cut off by the ringing of Cagalli's cellular phone.

"Excuse me."

She answered the phone.

"Hello"

Silence….

"Okay, I'm on my way. Bye."

Turning her attention back to Athrun she said, "I'm sorry but I really need to attend to some important matters."

"It's fine. I'll just talk with you some other time." Athrun hastily stood up and left.

Cagalli was really irritated because even though she hates Athrun now, she can't deny the fact that her heart was beating fast when she saw him again.

I'm just nervous that I might do something bad to him like strangle him. Yeah, that's it.

And as she stood from her chair, she noticed a beautiful bouquet of white roses on the seat opposite where Athrun sat.
