Chapter 10

Lunch I

The next morning Katara woke up to an empty bed. She felt around the bed dreary eyed, but found no Zuko. She was surprise that he hadn't waked her up before he left. He always woke her up with whispers and kisses, but not today. Today she was alone…again. The weird thing was that she was suppose to be mad at him but he was mad at her. She had no clue as to why. He was the one staying out late at all hour of the night, not her.

Katara flopped her head back on her fluffed pillow with a loud huff. She was furious but also confused. She hadn't argued with Zuko about what occurred the night before. She guessed that he would have had a pretty good reason as to why he wasn't in bed. She promise herself that she wouldn't get all worked up again thinking that he's cheating on her. She was sure there was a reason…maybe he just didn't want to tell her…maybe it was so important, he couldn't tell her…maybe it was a surprise. Yes, a surprise…maybe a surprise. It would be there anniversary soon…maybe he was getting a head start…Maybe.

Katara started to think nothing of it. Zuko wasn't doing anything he wasn't supposed to do. Katara suddenly felt a cool breeze and snuggled deeply into her satin sheets. She could remember Zuko's face when she told him she knew. He looked so dumbfounded and confused. She could guess of what he was asking him self. How did she know?

Katara might have not been the smartest of girls, but she wasn't stupid either. How can you not notice your husband isn't there? Sometimes she even wakes up in the middle of the night to cuddle against him, but not that night. Nope…he wasn't there. Katara let out a deep sigh. There was no need for her to stay in bed all day thinking about negative things. She lazily jumped out of the bed and walked to the bathroom.

After Katara was dress and ready to impress, she headed down to the kitchen. She decided that it would be a good idea to bring Zuko a lunch basket. Maybe they could even have a little kinky section in his study Katara thought. She smiled at the thought of her being slammed on his mahogany desk and being kissed and licked from head to toe.

She asked the cook to pack a small lunch basket for Zuko. "Jung, can put some extra fire-flakes in there for me?" She asked with puppy dog eyes. She was hooked on them. She was so obsessed with them; Zuko made her stop eating them. She mocked his words "You're a waterbender! You can't eat so many of these. They'll tear your insides to shreds. Blah…Blah…Blah" She frowned at those memories. He even went as far as to tell all the servants and maids not to give her any. If they should give her any they would have to face his anger, but Katara still couldn't help it. They are just to damn good. She'd ask servant to give them to her, especially the cook. He was just too gullible. As soon as she put the puppy dog act on he was all hers.

Jung looked down at his lady considering the fact that she was much shorter that he. He knew that he wasn't suppose to ignore his lord's wishes, but those eyes he could not resist. Those beautiful blue ball of water staring at him. He could not give in. " I'm sorry My Lady, but I can not go against My Lords wishes. You most understand."

"Pweeease…" she pleaded, holding her hands together in a fist before her, growing her eyes wider. She knew she was going to get her snack. She could feel it. Jung was going to give in. He would do anything for her.

Jung couldn't resist. He was giving in. Her pleade was too much. If he didn't give her what she wanted he would feel guilty. With a loud sigh he threw some fire-flakes into the basket. "I didn't give this to you" he stated.

"RIGHT!" She squealed, smiling with a huge grin. "You the best" She said while embracing him with a bear huge.

Zuko had been in his study all day. He had files of paper work staked up the ass. He had forgotten all about the letter he left in his top drawer. Everything needed his signature. He must have wrote his name at least fifty time no less. Zuko. He said while writing.Zu…ko. Zuuu…koo. Z.U.K.O. He was getting so annoyed. His own name was aggravating him. He started again Zuu…, he was interrupted by a knock at his door. He dropped his pen in annoyance.

"Who dares interrupts me while I'm busy!" He shouted in a stern voice.

A pale hand holding the chrome doorknob revealed a tall curvy redhead. ' O Zuzu, you're so dominating." She said in a sophisticated kind of way.

"Heeeeey Ember." Zuko slurred.

"What are you up to?" She asked, leaning over his desk curiously.

"Proposals." He stated, dangling one in the air.

"Oooo…I see. Well I brought you something." She smiled.

"What!" he asked, anxious to find out, not trying to show that he liked surprises. As if Ember didn't already know. Little did he know that she knew everything about him; She was a total stalker.

"Just a little food. I know you must have been hungry, being in here all day." She said, pulling a basket from behind her back. She sat it on the desk and looked into his eyes. He had gorgeous eyes, a gorgeous smile. Soon he would have a gorgeous wife to go along with everything that was gorgeous about him. Soon enough. She thought.

Zuko curiously search through it. "Mmmm… RED HOTS! My favorite. Thanx"

" I had a feeling that it would be, it even fits your temper." She laughed.

Zuko darted his eyes at her. "SHUT UP!"

"There you go." She smiled.

"There I go what!" He barked.

"That temper of yours, you're so predictable." She said while walking to the door exit.

"I don't like you!" He smirked.

" Yea, yeah…I know. See you later, and enjoy the food ZUZU!" She said while walking out the room making sure to emphasize the name Zuzu.

A/N: I know, I know…I waited to long to update. Please forgive me for my non- timeliness. I haven't had the time to write. Lucky for me, my first three-hour teachers didn't come. I had three free hours of writing time. The next chapter will surely be up by Sunday morning. I promise.
