Entrance to My Heart
By Moony
Chapter one
Relena Darilan stepped out of her office into a blazing heat
"Ugh, Why does it have to be so hot in this damn town?" She thought aloud. She gripped her brief case and headed down the street to her apartment. Today had been lousy. Her boss, Wufei Chang, who was a major sexist, yelled at her and called her incompetent all day. He didn't let her out until ten that night. She gave a loud huff and walked down the street. She was very thankful that her apartment was close to her work. She was so angry she didn't even notice the figure following her. She got to her apartment and unlocked the safety door to her apartment building. She headed over to the elevator only to see a sign that said 'out of order' "Could this day get any worse?!" She cried. She made a mental note to gripe out her landlord, Lady Une. She headed off to the stair well. She opened the door and headed up the stairs. Cursing under her breath about her room being on the seventh floor. She finally reached her floor painting and out of breath. "Okay, Lena you're going to work out tomorrow." She opened the door and stepped into her hall. She headed down to her home. She unlocked the door and went in. she sat her brief case on the table and threw herself in an easy chair. Her roommate's dog, Sank jumped on her lap. "Oh Sank get down. I'm tired," Relena sighed. She still wondered how her roommate, Hilde, kept Sank so well hidden. Hilde was hell bent on having a watchdog. She said, "you never know what will happen in this city. Better to be prepared." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Relena got up and looked threw the peephole. There was Hilde trying to balance two bags of groceries and a man behind her carrying three. Relena quickly opened the door to let them in.
"Thanks Lena," Hilde said as she passed by Relena. The man followed her. Hilde sat the groceries down on the table; the man did the same. He was pretty tall. He had long hair, but he had it in a braid. It was dark brown. He was pretty cute.
"Hi, I'm Duo Maxwell," The man said and gave his hand out to Relena.
"Oh," Relena took his hand. "I'm Relena Darilan, but you can call me Lena." She shook his hand. They released. Sank came up to Duo and sniffed him. Duo squatted down and patted the dog on the head.
"Lena, Duo has asked me out to eat tonight, so you're going to have to fend for yourself when it comes dinner time," Hilde said as she unpacked the groceries. Relena walked over to her.
"Let me do this," she said. "Don't leave the guy waiting. Go get ready," Relena whispered the rest to Hilde. Hilde smiled at her thoughtful roommate and headed off to her room.
"So," Duo said and stood back up. "What do you do? I'm in the air force." Relena had a sudden picture of Duo in an airforce out fit. He looked pretty good. Relena smiled.
"I work at the City law office down the street. I'm basically a lawyer's secretary," Relena explained as she put the milk into an almost bare refrigerator.
"That must be a hard job," Duo stated. Relena turned around and looked at him.
"Well I'm glad some body noticed! He's one hell of an ass!"
"Most lawyers are," Duo laughed.
"You can say that again!" Relena smiled.
"Hey are you free tomorrow night?" Duo asked.
"Uh, I thought you were going with Hilde," Relena said uneasily.
"Oh, I am, but I have someone I think you might like," Duo explained.
"Oh I don't know..." Relena said quietly. "I can't really have a boyfriend with my work and all..."
"You're going Lena, whether you like it or not!" Hilde said as she came out of the room.
"Wow you look good," Duo informed Hilde.
"Thank you," Hilde blushed. She grabbed Duo's hand and headed to the door. Just as Duo closed the door he smiled at Relena and said, "bye."
"Bye," Relena whispered. She put in a TV dinner, but didn't eat much and changed into her PJ's and settled on to the couch. After flipping threw the channels five times she decided that nothing was on and popped in a movie. She was crying before it was over. She didn't understand how she could love romantic movies, but hate ever meeting anyone. In the middle of the movie she head voices upstairs fighting. She heard some of the conversation...
"I can't believe you'd do this to me!" a woman's voice cried.
"You've cheated on me, you've lied to me, and you've stolen my money. If that's not good enough reason to divorce you I don't know what is. It's over!" A man's voice said. She heard a door slam then all as quiet. She fell asleep on the couch. She woke up slightly when Hilde and Duo walked in. She heard Hilde giggle and Duo say something, but she hushed him when she saw Relena on the couch. They went off into Hilde's bedroom. Relena ended up getting a set of head phones to drown out the noise coming from Hilde's room. She looked at a clock. It was one thirty-five. Relena feel back asleep.
