Dangerous Liaison
Chapter Two Oh Great
Cagalli intently studied the container of sleeping pills in her hand. She let a sigh escape her lips and then threw the bottle of pills into the bin. Then she took glance at herself in the mirror, and forced a smile on her lips before adjusting her white blouse and exiting the bathroom.
Making her way to the living room, she found her twin brother was just slipping on his shoes and his black suit jacket on.
"Are you going on a date?" Cagalli asked in amusement.
The only time Cagalli had ever seen her brother all dressed up like he was now, was when he was on a date with a certain pink haired female.
Kira smiled and nodded.
"Lacus really want to see that cafe you going to be working at, for some odd reason?" he told his sister with a thoughtful expression.
Cagalli's eyes widen "What?" she started.
"Can't you guys like I don't know go to a movie? And it only the cafe that Shiho and Yzak own..." she replied.
Kira chuckled "I know, but Lacus never been and really want to see this place you talk so much about..." he replied.
Cagalli sighed "I guess I can't do much about it..."
Kira chuckled "Well with it been Lacus it will take miracle for you win this one sis. Anyway are you ready?" he asked.
"Yep..." she replied, grabbing her shoulder bag from the couch.
With a smile touching her lips as from today she was going to be a part time waitress at a small but wonderfully decent Cafe called Duel. A cafe belonging to someone she and Kira knew from when they were little and who Cagalli often helped when they were busy for free.
The Cafe was also the place she hung out with her friends.

On arrival at Duel Cafe, it was already bustling with people. Tables were already filled and other employees were all busy running around with a pad and pen in hand.
"Cagalli...." someone called her happily.
Cagalli turned to the counter, where a girl with long dark brown hair stood.
"Shiho..." Cagalli smiled waving energetically.
Shiho Joul was the adoptive daughter of her mother and father best friends Mwu and Murrue La Flaga. Shiho was only four years older than the Hibiki twins and, was always thought of as an older sister they never had especially to Cagalli.
Cagalli walked over to counter.
"Ready to report for duty..." she saluted with a smile as she approached her new boss and close friend.
The brown haired female smiled and laughed saluting back.
"So..." Cagalli begun to say, looking over her shoulder to where the kitchen was searching for certain silver haired man.
"Where Yzak?" she asked, when she couldn't find him.
"Usual place...." she sighed with a frown.
"Ah....you mean in the huge freezer sulking..." Cagalli laughed.
Shiho tooted and shook her head "I really hope that husband of mine will stop acting like a child soon. A least before this little one born..." She sighed moving away from the counter to reveal a bloated stomach.
She and her husband Yzak had been married for a year now and had moved to Onogoro just a after they returned from their honeymoon, and were now expecting their first child.
Cagalli chuckled "How you feeling?" she asked her brown haired friend.
Shiho sighed "Much better now I am done with throwing up..." she smiled.
"Anyway enough about the pregnancy, let get you an apron and introduce you to a new employee..."
"Okay..." Cagalli smiled.
Shiho smiled back and picked up an apron from behind the counter, handing it to Cagalli.
"Thanks..." Cagalli said taking the apron.
While Cagalli placed her apron on, Shiho looked around the cafe.
"Ah there he is...." she smiled and waved catching the attention of the new employee of hers.
"Cagalli I would like you to meet..." Shiho said.
Just as Cagalli turned around to reveal a familiar face to her. "Athrun Zala...." Cagalli grunted.
Shiho's eyes widen "Do you two know each other?" she asked.
Athrun smiled "Me and Cagalli are class mates actually..." he grinned.
Shiho smiled "That's great to hear you guys already know each other. Make the introduction less awkward..."
Athrun nodded in agreement.
"Anyway guys I am goanna go and see to that husband of mine, I'll leave you in charge Cagalli..." Shiho said before walking to the kitchen.
Because Cagalli often helped out here, and she came here with her friends often, Shiho thought it would be best to ask Cagalli to work here. When she was on maternity leave and hires one extra help in case it got too much for Cagalli.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Cagalli quietly said to Athrun as soon as Shiho left.
The blue haired male smiled "Working like you...." he replied.
"You don't even need a job you have all the money in the world Zala." Cagalli retaliated.
"Doesn't mean I don't need to work for my money..." he replied back smirking.
Cagalli grunted and turned to entrance of the cafe where a smiling Lacus and Kira were.
A sighed escaped her lips and she turned to Athrun "You better keep away from Kira and Lacus. Let me or anyone else serve him and his girlfriend...." Cagalli whispered rather roughly at him.
She then dropped her shoulder bag behind the counter and picked up a pad, making her way to her twin and Lacus.
"Sorry to keep you waiting..." Cagalli said approaching them.
The pink haired female smiled "ah it okay Cagalli, this place looks so lovely no wonder you come here all the time..."
"I'll show you to your seats..." she smiled grabbing her brother arm, bringing them to a seat near to the window.
"I let you guys decided what you want first..." Cagalli smiled. She then walked over to counter where Athrun was stood serving some customers.
Much to Cagalli annoyance they were a group of girls and he was pretty much flirting with them.
"Idiot..." she muttered quietly, as she walked passed him.
But unknown to her Athrun heard her, and was now just a few inches away from her face.
"Jealous are we?" she heard him whisper against her ear.
She swore that he had a huge grin on his face when he said that.
"What?"She said her voice clearly expressing irritation.
"Don't worry Cagalli you're the only girl I want...." he whispered in her ear.
Cagalli felt more than irritated now, what she wanted to do more than to scream at him she wanted to punch that arrogant face of his.
"You really think I care if you go and flirt with other woman, I couldn't care less. I just wish you wouldn't do it when you're working here...." she replied, taking one large step away from him.
Once she knew she was no longer near her, she turned around and glared at him.
Her hands were tightly grasped in a fist.
Athrun just smirked which made Cagalli scream in anger, and walk off into the kitchen so that she could calm down a little.
But what she didn't notice, she had gathered quiet a lot attention from customers and staff.
"I hate him so much...." she muttered to herself entering the kitchen.
"What was all that about?" Cagalli heard the voice of Shiho say, once she entered the Kitchen.
"You just got to know Shiho that we really don't get along..." Cagalli replied.
Her brown haired boss sighed "and why don't you guys get along?"
"I rather not say, let just say we are better apart..." she replied.
"Well that would be pretty hard Cagalli, seeing as you'll be working together most of the time..." Shiho replied.
The golden haired female's eyes widen "You don't mean I'll be working with him alone when you're away?" she asked stunned.
Shiho nodded.
"Oh great..." Cagalli thought.
"He good worker Cagalli so I really hope you will get on with him here in the cafe at least when I am not here..." Shiho said with hope in her voice.
Cagalli sighed and knew she had no choice, seeing as Shiho was expected to be on maternity leave soon. And well the Cafe was always packed like days like this, and her hating Athrun wasn't exactly Shiho fault or a reason for him to be fired.
Much to Cagalli disappointment from what she had just heard from Shiho, that he was a good worker. It was hard to believe for her though. Seeing him flirt with the female customers, and when he has only been working here for an hour so far.
"I guess I have no choice then..." she told Shiho.
Shiho smiled "Great..." she said hugging Cagalli, or trying too with a baby bump.
While the girls were hugging, Athrun whom who had listened to whole thing couldn't help let a smirk touch his lips.
Because this meant it would be easier now for him to win the bet, maybe not that easy but it was one step forward for him.
"Now for the next step..." he mumbled to himself thinking.
