Hi everyone! I know, I know, shame on me. I haven't updated this story for a long long time. Well, here are the reasons. First I went to Japan (happiness) and it took me quite some time to planned everything, then I came back home and looked for a job. I actually did find one in November and since then; I have been a lot more busy. I have health problems that oblige me to go to a physical therapist (as I call it, my torture sessions) and as if it was not enough I lost my grandmother before Christmas. Right now my mind is not very clear and I'm trying to sort out everything that goes wrong with me in order to fell better. I don't know why I'm writing all that here. Probably because I can't talk as I would at home and that I don't know any of you personally. Anyway here is a new chapter. I hope I would be able to update soon…
The following morning at 8 (quite early for a Sunday), Cagalli had her eyes wide open. She was thinking about the last order she had given to Athrun. Why had she asked for a kiss? She knew she was attracted by Athrun but asking him out of the blue to kiss her was another story. And why Athrun hadn't protested? He had when she had asked him to go get tampons. He even seemed quite happy to fulfill her mistress' order. She had been so preoccupied by the fact that she may be pregnant that she hadn't take the time to ponder about her feelings for Athrun. Cagalli sighed and got up. Some fresh air and a good breakfast would change her mind. She took a quick shower got dressed and went out. Ms Walker looked at her strangely. How come Cagalli was up so early on a Sunday morning? Cagalli didn't notice and walked to the cafeteria. There weren't any queue and she grabbed a black coffee and some toast before looking up for the first time since she went out. Then she saw him. He was looking at her from his seat. He made a move to tell her to come seat with him. Cagalli sighed again but went to him.
"Good morning Cagalli."
"'Morning." She sat down in front of him but avoided his gaze. Athrun seemed to notice and smiled.
"Do you, by any chance, regret what you asked me to do yesterday?" he asked without detour.
Cagalli thought for a second. What should she answer? If she said yes, they would continue their friendship until either of same is bored of their little game. If she said no… What would happen? What if Athrun didn't share her feelings? What they had done last summer she couldn't have done it with anyone else but was it the same for him? Come on, Cagalli, she thought, be true to yourself like you've always been. She looked up at him.
"No, I don't."
Athrun leaned on the table enough to reach her lips and kiss her. Cagalli didn't move an inch.
"Good, he replied, because I don't either."
Mariallia was mad! Mad at Tolle, mad at Dearka, mad at Cagalli who was the reason Dearka had kissed her, and mad at herself. How could she have been stupid enough to think that Dearka had feelings for her? For the time that lasted the kiss she had thought "maybe" but she was wrong. This guy was driving her mad. So nice when he wanted to and so stupid most of the time.
"Come on Miriallia, it's not that bad." Shiho said. She had never seen her friend so angry before.
"Oh yeah? And how would you react if Yzak did that to you?"
Shiho repressed a smile, remembering her make out session with Yzak earlier. She chose to act angry instead.
"I'd ripped him open", she said the most seriously she could managed.
"See."
In the afternoon, Miriallia tried not run into any of her torturer. The last she wanted to see was Dearka, snogging Megumi. Lacus and Kira had gone for a walk, Shiho was in the library to work on an essay and Cagalli was nowhere to be seen as was Athrun. She decided to go to the photography club to work on her project, but she quickly changed her mind. Seeing Dearka in pictures was not a good idea right now. God knows what she could do to these poor pictures and she could run into Tolle there and she wasn't so thrilled about the idea either. She groaned and decided to join Shiho to the library.
"This Lacus! Kissing Kira like this in front of everyone! And did you see how she seemed to enjoy it?"
"Calm down Meer. I thought you didn't like Kira." Stated Flay.
"Well, maybe a little. So, we didn't find anything in Lacus' stuff and we're not even sure Yzak is interested in Shiho."
"I don't care, we have to do something."
"Maybe we should have a look at old papers of Orbs. My Aunt found where her husband had escaped with his mistress this way, and if you say that she has nightmares maybe her secret is not so secret in Orb."
Flay looked at Meer like she had 3 eyes on the face.
"What? What did I say?"
"You're a genius! We are all children from good families, well some are from better familes than others but surely if something happened to the daughter of such a businessman as Shiho's father, the papers would talk about it!! Why didn't I think about it earlier, she said excitedly, come on let's go to the library."
Flay left the room as Meer sighed.
"Why do I have the feeling that it is always her first?"
In the evening they all met for dinner. Miriallia and Shiho were already there when Yzak and Dearka joined them. Miriallia turned her head away.
"What's wrong with her? Asked Yzak, Don't tell me she is still mad at Dearka because of yesterday."
"Yes she is." Replied Shiho.
"Oh, come on Milly. Don't be mad for a small kiss." Dearka put a finger on is chin and seemed to think for a moment. "But I have to admit that I had never tasted lips so sweet."
"If you were a little bit pickier when it turns to women, maybe you'd have found one who worth it."
"Yeah, maybe"
Miriallia wasn't listening anymore. Her lips were sweet? The sweetest that he tasted so far! No, Miriallia, don't soften to his comment.
Then Cagalli and Athrun arrived with Lacus and Kira.
"Cagalli, where the hell have you been?" exclaimed Shiho who was wondering where her friend had spend the day.
"Oh, I was a-"
"She was with me. Cagalli and I are dating." Athrun said very calmly.
7 pairs of eyes turned in his direction. Cagalli was as surprised as their friends were.
"What did you just say? You are going out with my baby sister?"
"Kira! I'm not a baby anymore!"
"But when? I mean, how come we didn't see it coming?" asked Shiho, who thought her best friend would have tell her about her love life.
"This morning."
After this declaration, everybody went calm, each lost in his own thoughts. After dinner, they went their separate ways. Yzak had asked Shiho to come on the roof top as they were sure to be alone there.
"I can't believe Cagalli didn't told me everything!" said Shiho pacing on the roof. Yzak was seating on the floor.
"You didn't tell her right away that we were seeing each other either." He pointed out.
She cast him a death glare.
"Just because you didn't want to. Because of your Oh so lovely fiancée. I'm starting to think that if you don't want to tell anybody about us is for you to be able to marry her once you get fed up with me!"
She stopped her pacing as Yzak apparead in front of her, angry as well.
"Don't you say that, you know it's not true!"
Shiho saw the hurt look on his face and regretted what she had just said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to- it's just-, I knew that Cagalli had feelings for him, especially after what happened last sum-" She stopped, she had gone too far.
"What? What happened last summer?"
Shit, so he has heard!
"Nothing." She replied, looking at her feet.
He frowned, grabbed her chin to force her to look at him.
"Ok, but promise me you won't tell anybody, especially Kira."
"I swear." Yzak replied lifting his right hand.
"Well, do you remember that evening when cagalli wanted to go to a party?"
"How could I forget the first time I kissed you?" he said smiling.
Shiho smiled as well and continued.
"This evening at the party, Cagalli and Athrun kind of got drunk and they kind of had sex on the beach."
Now Yzak couldn't speak. What? Zala had slept with Cagalli, the tomboy Cagalli, the one who declares that a woman can live without a man by her side.
"Wow, I would never have thought… Cagalli and Athrun…Wow."
"If you repeat it to anybody, I swear I-"
"Don't worry I know how to keep a secret." He cut her.
5 minutes later they were heading back to their room. Before they left the building Yzak pushed Shiho against a wall and kissed her. Soon enough, what was beginning as a goodnight kiss transformed into a passionate one. Shiho's arms went around Yzak's neck to bring him closer and Yzak responded by pressing his body against hers.
"Well, well, well, what have we got here?"
Shiho and Yzak broke apart and turn in direction of the voice.
Things would get worse in the next chapter hahaha…. Please review…
