Puppy Love : Start Of Something NewLiving in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Cagalli's POV:
Since Angel woke me up, and it was morning already, I found no point in sleeping again. Instead, Athrun welcomed me to stay and let Angel play with his dog, Rex.
"How old is your dog?"
"Angel is a 3-year-old Australian Terrier. She's the only friend I have when im all alone in my apartment. You see, I don't live with my family and I see my work buddies only 5 days a week so it gets lonely sometimes and she's always there when im happy or sad…I love her more than almost everything…"
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
She looked up at him and saw that he was an extremely handsome man. She felt like she wanted to curl her fingers into his blue hair. He had the most unusual eyes… green…emerald green…she had never seen such beautiful eyes…
"I see…Rex is a 5-year-old Tibetan Spaniel. I actually saved his life. The people from the animal shelter were thinking about putting him to sleep but then he looked so sad, I decided to adopt him. I've lived with him for about two years and a half."
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
I saw him looking at me as he told me about his story with Rex in the corner of my eye. I had a sudden urge to want to know him better…a lot better. There were mixed feelings now in my heart, it feels like it wants to burst out for some reason. I think im in love with a guy I knew for half an hour…
This could be the start
Of something new
Athrun's POV
It was around 5:50 am, and Cagalli was here with her dog and Rex is having so much fun, I looked at the sky and it was clear and blue. The streetlights are still on since it was still quite dark. We talked about our dogs and our stories with them. Rex and her dog seemed to be having lots of fun and they look unseparable.
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
"So you live a few level below us?"
"Yep. How long have you been living here? I don't usually see you."
"I've been living here for only a couple of months so maybe you never had the chance to see me yet."
"Probably…"
"Would you like to stay for breakfast?"
"No thank you. I already planned breakfast this morning with my friends. Maybe another time."
"Alright then Are you usually busy?"
"Nope, I was thinking, would you like to come over for breakfast tomorrow?"
"For sure. I'd love to. Should I bring Rex over as well?"
Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
"Of course! I bet that we'd have a hard time trying to get them to go home though…"
"That's right…" I glanced over at the dogs…I think we'll need tons of dog treats, a few bandages, and ropes.
"I think I should be going back now. I should probably get ready for my friends and plus, it'll take a while for them to be brought back inside."
"Okay then, let's get them."
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changedNormal POV
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cagalli went over and started petting her dogs in soft strokes over her head. She commanded her to sit but once it sat for a few seconds it shot back up and began to play with Rex again. Athrun got a few dog treat to bribe Rex but he paid no attention for those yummy things…(A/n in fact I am starving and cannot wait till dinnertime kicks in…im not even eating for you guys! HA!) They soon had to pull them away! Since Athrun's dog was a bit bigger and stronger, he had trouble and poor him it was only the morning and already he's exhausted! Cagalli was able to pick Angel up, only before she received a scratched on her face, which started to bleed, and Athrun was there to take care of her.
Never felt this way
I know it for real
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay? I think you should come in and wash that cut."
"Okay" Cagalli groaned.
Athrun got the dogs into a special playroom Rex has and closed the door behind them. You could hear them barking and chewing Rex's squeaky toy. Athrun went over to the kitchen counter and picked out the first aide kit along with a wet tissue. He reunited with Cagalli in the living room.
This could be the start
Of something new
"Here let me clean it for you."
He first dabbed the wound with the wet tissue, wiping away the little amount of blood and then used a cleansing wipe. She twitched at the sudden feeling of pain and clutched on to her chair. Then he used a fry tissue and dried the surrounding skin and finished it off with a clean band-aid. (A/n How do you think I knew all this "cleaning cuts" stuff? Tee hee im a lifeguard that's why and that is a proper way to clean a cut!)
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
She turned towards him, to thank him, but to only receive a very close face. He did not expect her face to be so close and he started to blush madly. They both thought they were in an awkward position, but they both didn't want to go. Their lips were apart only an inch apart. Both lost in each other's eyes, they knew this was the start of something new. Athrun finally closed the space between them and their lips met. The kiss was sweet, exciting and passionate. They were both shy and broke away for a few seconds for a breath and kissed again. Their hearts, soaring high and free, felt like they were in heaven. They were in heaven with each other there.
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Cagalli broke the kiss when she heard a whine from the room where the dogs were.
"Thanks for …everything."
"No problem."
They stood up and opened the door to only see the result of Rex running into the wall and Angel next to him.
"Hey buddy you alright?" he leaned over to his dog and began to pet his head. No bleeding and the dog was still alive, everything is fine.
"I should go now. My friends could be here anytime."
I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
"Alright." Cagalli went over to pick Angel up and said to her, "you guys can play tomorrow ok?"
Her dog seemed to be able to respond with an alright we'll play tomorrow ok Rex? Hope your head doesn't hurt so much tomorrow!
And Rex looked over to her and seemed like he said Yea I hope so too. See you tomorrow!
They exchanged phone numbers and email addresses and talked a little more before she really had to. Athrun lead her to the door and said their final goodbye for the day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athrun's POVWhen he closed the door, he leaned on it and sighed. He played the moment when he kissed her. It felt so good. He couldn't wait till tomorrow.
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cagalli's POVAs she climbed down the stairs to return back to her apartment, she too was thinking about him. Do I like him? Will we have a chance to be together in the future? What does he like? Does he like me? Did he like the kiss? Did he want more than a kiss? Will he want me to go over to his apartment for breakfast sometimes? Or maybe even dinner? Or lunch?
It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
Millions of questions filled her head and each of them she wanted to know the answers to each one and even get to know him even more.
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
When she entered her apartment, she dropped Angel to the floor and she quickly scurried away. Cagalli picked out her clothes for the day and brought in a towel with her to the bathroom. There she had a relaxing shower, washing away the confusing thoughts that would disturb her in the day.
She dressed into her clothes. Hair still wet, she filled Angel food bowel and changed the water in her dish. She fixed her bed and began to dry her hair. After that, she thought of what breakfast she should make for four people including her. How about…bacon, eggs, and toast? And of course the most important thing…coffee? Should be good enough.
She picked out the ingredients and left them on the counter for a while so it wouldn't be too cold to cook. She began to set the table and brewed some coffee and got out the brown sugar. The guests should be coming anytime soon so she began to fry the bacon along with the eggs. The smell filled the air quickly and Angel began barking and using her puppy eyes to bribe Cagalli to let her taste a bit of bacon. Cagalli saw this and she ripped a tiny piece of bacon and placed it in Angel's food bowl. She was delighted.
When the food was just about done, she heard someone knocking on her door and turned the stove off so just enough heat would finish the cooking. (A/n I KNOW HOW TO COOK!)
She opened the door to reveal Kira, Lacus, and her best friend Stellar. A chorus of hellos were exchanged as they entered into her apartment.
Stellar went over to Angel and pet her head. "How you are pretty girl? You're really happy today, have a good night sleep?"
"How've you been? And what happened to your face?" asked Kira with concern.
"Oh I, umm…Oh! Breakfast is almost ready I should get the plates - "
"Cagalli what happened?" This time Lacus asked. When two people were at you, there's no turning away. Unless you lie.
"This morning I, uhh got myself a paper cut!"
"On the face?"
"Uhh, yea! On the face! You know me and paper…heh yea…"
"Umm, ok. Is it bad?"
"No it's fine! Just wanted to cover it with a band-aide. Like they say covered cuts heal faster than uncovered cuts!" (A/n Another thing I learned from a band-aide box. Yes I was THAT bored to read a band-aide box .")
"Let's eat. C'mon Stellar!"
She was still busy playing with Angel.
"Coming! I'll play with you later girl." And kiss her softly on her furry head.
Everyone settled with their breakfast and began talking.
"So," Cagalli started, "how's Shinn?"
Stellar choked on her coffee and began coughing madly. Kira rushed to the kitchen to get her a cup of water and Lacus began patting her back. Cagalli was laughing. Once she calmed down and controlled her coughing, she began speaking again.
"Why do you ask how my boyfriend is?"
"Well you haven't brought him up for a long time. Usually you would tell him to come over and eat with us. Why isn't he here today?"
"Well it's been an exhausting night and he's not even up yet. So I guess I should let him sleep a bit longer."
"Ahhh and why was it an "exhausting" night?" Lacus teased.
"Because we-" she cut herself off before she spilled it.
"Oh Stellar is growing up!" added Cagalli.
Poor Stellar. She could only blushed and she kept her head down and began eating again while the others giggled.
"Anyways, how's your job now Cagalli? Do you like it now?"
"Yep I actually like it a lot! I never knew opening a bubble tea shop would bring in so many customers!"
"You changed your job again?" asked Stellar, "You've been working at Archangel for only a few months and already you quit?"
"Yea, I didn't really like Archangel much. Well I am employed so I still have a paycheck."
"That's true."
They talked a bit more and Stellar's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Stellar hey where did you go? I found the apartment empty with only me in here."
"Oh Shinn! I'm at Cagalli's place. We're having breakfast and you were still sleeping, I didn't want to wake you up."
The table of people exchanged glances and grins while Stellar was talking on the phone.
"Aww, ok then. Tell Cagalli I'll be over in fifteen minutes."
When Shinn was talking, Stellar looked up and found the table of Nosy People starring at her. While he was still talking, Stellar mouthed a "Shut up" at them and that made them mind their own businesses
"Sure I'll tell her that. And baby?"
"Yes?"
"Clean up later ok?"
"laughs ok hunnie. See you soon! mwuah!"
Stellar made a kissing sound and ended the call.
"Shinn said he'll be here in fifteen minutes."
"Ok, I'll start cooking now. You guys keep talking! I'll be right back!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifteen Minutes Later…
Again there was a knocking on the door. Angel began to bark and jump at the door. Cagalli shooed her away and opened the door to reveal Shinn.
"Ohayo Cagalli what's up?"
"Ohayo Shinn, come in!"
He gladly stepped in and gave Angel a light pet on the head. He walked over to Stellar and kissed her on the lips. Which made Cagalli think of the kiss with Athrun.
"Morning."
"Morning." Shinn repeated.
Cagalli set Shinn's Plate of bacon and over-easy eggs and coffee in front of him.
"Arigato Cagalli."
"No problem!"
The group of friends talked some more and soon they had to leave. One by one they said goodbyes and thank yous until it was left with only Cagalli and Angel. Cagalli prepared herself for a new day at work. She gave Angel a kiss on the head and told her she would be back soon and left to her teashop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Athrun…
He Gave Rex a pat on the head and left for another workday. While driving in his sleek black car that every girl would die for, he was in the mood for some bubble tea. He soon came upon a bubble tea shop and drove in the parking lot. he stepped through the door and found no one at the counter. He saw a sign and a bell that said Ring for assistance. He rang the bell and waited. Moments later he heard a shout from the back.
"I'll be with you very soon!"
"Sure, I'll wait!" Funny her voice sounds familiar.
He heard quick footsteps coming towards the counter from behind. The blonde girl opened the curtains blocking the view from the outside to the inside. There they stood motionless and surprised.
"Cagalli!"
"Athrun!"
