More Than A Diamond
Disclaimer: Plain and simple, don't own it.
Author's Note: mmkay! So, after so many months (or years? Haven't really kept track. Heh.) of just reading fanfictions, I thought I'd write one of my own! This is just a twoshot although I do have some chappie stories planned (but that's only if I can get my lazy butt to write them). I'm more of a chappies story writer cuz I'm more of a drama/romance person instead of a humour/romance (which are what oneshots usually are). But enough of me. Hope you enjoy! smiles and skips away.

"Cagalli-sama, you are so damn lucky!" Rebecca, the new body-guard of the ORB's Chief Representative, cried as she carried herself and a load of gleaming wrapped presents of all shapes and sizes into her boss's office. She dropped the presents by the couch in the office where a couple dozens of presents laid.
Cagalli, who was busy typing away on her laptop, quickly glanced up to see the gifts. She let out a sigh.
"You know, Rebecca, you can have some of those presents if you like. I really have no interest in them." Cagalli told her body-guard while checking an e-mail from one of the ORB Emirates.
"But Cagalli-sama, you should at least see what inside it first." Rebecca argued. "You never know, you just might like some of them. And it's not like you have to marry whoever gave you the gift once you accept it. Have a little fun with them!"
Cagalli walked over to the stack of gifts. She sighed once again as she allowed herself to drop onto the green couch beside the presents. What Rebecca had said was true, she thought, but opening the presents would only waste my time when I have so many matters to attend to. She was frustrated. She had made it very clear to every prince (or male person, in general) in every ball and meeting that she had no intentions of marrying. At least not yet. But they still have to send her all these gifts along with a few proposals. But she's not accepting anything.
Her heart only belongs to one person. And that person had abandoned her months ago. He had returned to the PLANTs. That person was none other than Athrun Zala. From what she last heard, he would probably be one of PLANTs supreme councillors soon. It's funny how the one thing she can't have is the one thing she wanted, no, needed, the most. But if fate wants to play this game, she would probably just have to play along. There's nothing she can do. They both have their own responsibilities.
"Maybe in another lifetime," Cagalli mumbled.
"What was that, Ms. Athha?" Rebecca, who overheard Cagalli, asked.
"Oh, it was nothing. Okay, Rebecca, here's the deal," Cagalli stated to change the subject. "You can open all my gifts since you have nothing to do while I type away in my office anyways. If the gift is a necklace, ring, bracelet, or that kind of crap, you may kindly take them and do whatever you like with them. And if the gift is interesting, then I would like to see it. Not that it means I'll take it, but I do get a good laugh sometimes from the gifts that I received."
"Alrighty! Your wish is my command!" Rebecca saluted, but it was very clear that Rebecca was already itching to start on unwrapping the gifts. She watched as her superior returned back to her bureau of hell as she started unwrapping the first present.
--------------------------------------------------------
It was close to midnight and Cagalli was still staring at her laptop. Rebecca had just finished unwrapping the presents (thank God too because the tearing sounds of the wrapping paper was really starting to bug Cagalli).
"Cagalli-sama!" Cagalli's head turned towards the person who produced her name. "Would you like me to show you the gifts, or more like the gift, that I thought came up as quite interesting now or later?"
Cagalli looked at the time. It would be unfair to keep Rebecca at the office any longer and she really seems to want to show her the gift so Cagalli decided she'd have a look. Not to mention Cagalli was just a bit curious in what the gift was.
Rebecca brought the gift over and settled it on her table. What sat in front of her was a leather bag. A small leather bag that she could probably fit her coffee mug in. Now that peaked her interest. She opened the bag and gasped. Shining back at her were beautiful gemstones. Stones that she had never seen before. It was not your everyday diamond that she was looking at. There were four of them in total. She was able to identify two of them. An aquamarine and a peridot.
"It's strange isn't it?" Rebecca asked.
Cagalli nodded. "Do you know who sent this?"
"That's the other interesting part. There wasn't a signature or anything. There was a card though. Here!" In Rebecca's hand was a simple but elegant card in her favourite colour; green. Cagalli's hand reached for the card but she could already see what was written on it.
Remember our favourite beach? Meet me there tomorrow at noon.
Cagalli had a sinking feeling that she knew who it was from. There was just one person in the entire universe who shared a beach with her, who knew where her favourite beach was. Athrun Zala, you are such a bastard, Cagalli mused to herself. Why couldn't you have just left me alone? Do you want me to dread on you forever?
"Cagalli-sama! Cagalli-sama!" Rebecca's cries of her name brought her back to reality. She turned her attention to the girl. "Are you okay, Cagalli-sama? You totally blanked out just a moment ago."
"Don't worry about me, Rebecca. I'm fine. Maybe just lack of sleep. You can head back home now, I'm almost finished. I'll take care of myself, kay?"
"Cagalli-sama! You need some sleep! This is like the fifth night in a row where you told me to go home first and I find you asleep on your desk the next morning. And I doubt tonight's going to be any different. Not to mention you know I'm not supposed to leave you unless you are in the safety of the manor." Rebecca took a deep breath. "No! The answer is no! I'm not going to leave you! I guess you'll just have to either work with me bugging the crap out of you or go home and get some sleep."
Cagalli sighed. She really needed to think and unless she can get some time and space to herself, that's not going to possible. The idea of sleep was tempting too.
"Okay," Cagalli gave in. She's going to have a long day tomorrow and she needs to think over how to handle her situation.
--------------------------------------------------------
Okayy!
This was supposed to be a oneshot, but I got lazy and decided I'll do the second part tomorrow.
(Don't start calling me a lazy ass now! It's almost three right now so a girl's got the right to sleep doesn't she?)
So now it's officially a two-shot!
So the second part would be the confrontation…
And I like to be different ;)
So just to let you know, there is a meaning with the gift Athrun gave Cagalli.
I'll give whoever who is able to guess it a cookie smiles
(I'm sorry, but a cookie is all poor little o me can afford)
Tootle-loo!
