Hey guys
I'm sorry for the REALLY late update, with all this stuff going around and not to mention homework i salvaged every minute i could find to update.
It's nothing great but the next chapter will be about the very awaited ball
So yeah enjoy!!
I woke up in a heavenly atmosphere. Athrun's arms were wrapped snuggly around me his face in my neck. He was breathing evenly indicating he was still asleep and I took a deep breath. I let it out through my mouth and saw him shiver a bit, but relax. I looked at the clock on the wall which indicated it was way past lunch time.
"You're awake?" Athrun asked.
"You're awake?" I said back.
"Been up for an hour," he said kissing my cheek, "You look very cute when you sleep."
"Really," I said stretching out and turned to face him.
I saw his eyes roam the upper half on my body and he nodded.
"How are you wounds?" I asked crawling to him pulling the blanket down. I saw fading scars.
"As you can see, it was like they were never there," he said pulling me on him, letting out a gasp in me.
"Athrun," I said trying to get off him, "I have to meet the girls in less then half an hour."
"I'll be done with you in 15 minutes," he said slipping his hands under my shirt.
"Yeah, but it'll take me 15 minutes after that to catch my breath," I said stopping his hands before they weakened me.
He let out a sigh and said, "Fine go ahead."
I gave him a kiss and said, "I'll be back by 6 okay…or maybe later."
He nodded looking at me in the eye and said, "What are the chances of taking a shower with you?"
I smiled and said, "I love you."
He rolled his eyes but had a smile on his face, "Okay go fast before I follow you."
I did as told and came out in a towel and into our closet. Athrun was out of bed by the time I was done.
"I'm going to be late," I thought pulling some jeans on, but it was hard with my wet skin from the shower.
After pulling on a tank top and a hoodie, I rushed out pulling on my flip flops. I pulled my hair into a messy but in Athrun's words "sexy" bun and found Athrun coming out of the washroom just in time for me to give him a kiss.
"Come back soon," he said
"Promise," I said squeezing his hand, "Bye."
He smiled as I rushed off.
I got into my beloved car and zoomed to the mall. I saw them all waiting outside for me patiently.
"Hey guys," I said waving, "So what we doing here"
"Shopping," Luna said, "For the annual ball."
My face dropped and I said, "Dress shopping?"
"Yes," Stellar said happily, "I love buying new dresses."
Now I wished I'd stayed in bed with Athrun…but I did need a dress for the ball.
"Alright, let's get to it then," I said walking ahead with defeated confidence.
"Sure," Mir said, "Let's get some coffee and food first."
I brightened at the delay.
Drinking my sugary caffeine drink and warming up in my hoodie we went to the first store and I slowly began the process of losing my mind. I tried on close to 50 dresses. You heard me fifty and none of them passed "the test". I was sitting grumbling as we all approved on Lacus' dress and Shiho sat beside me and said, "You need a break."
I looked at her and said, "You think?"
We both ditched the joint temporarily and found ourselves trying on sexy underwear.
"You think Athrun will like this?" I asked doing a pose as I came out of the change room.
"If I wasn't straight, I'd jump on you by now," she said laughing, "Go take it."
I laughed and said, "I think I should give Athrun a nice night, he's been deprived for a while."
"How long is a while?" she asked.
"About three days," I said, "I think it's getting to him."
"You've pampered him with too much sex," Shiho said shaking her head, "Now suffer the consequences…I still am…but I enjoy the process thoroughly."
I laughed and changed back into my clothes, "Let go pay before the others start wondering where we are."
"I bet they'd be asking why we went without them," Shiho said as we both paid and walked back to the store where I got a few amused stares.
"What?" I asked
"You're the only one without a dress," Meyrin said, "And since you two left while we all had to find the other dresses, you two get to stay and find Cagalli's dress."
"But," I said, "What about the test?"
"Oh that we just to annoy you," Luna said, "Come on girls, we have new underwear to buy."
They left me gaping and I huffed and sat down and asked Shiho, "Honestly, how long do you think this will take?"
She grimaced and said, "You're lucky if this doesn't take all night."
I sighed and said, "If I don't find one in the next hour, I'll choose a random on and go home."
"Well, it's only 6 so your one hour starts now," she said
"How important is this thing?" I asked
"Very," she said, "that's why we are so strict on the dress looking nothing but perfect. You're representing Athrun, you know so that why we had you try on all those dresses."
I sighed and said, "I want the dress to be blue so that cuts down more then half."
She nodded and said, "I think they have a blue section here, let go."
I tried on close to ten more and sat down impatiently in my underwear and yelled out randomly, "I'm tired of this, cranky and am ready to blow."
At this a rack of dresses from the floor above fell on me.
I fell back and struggled to get through the mat of silk.
I let out a breath which moved my lock of my hair from my face as Shiho fell down laughing her head off. I felt a hand and Shiho came up to pull me up. She pointed behind me and I saw a dress hanging from the bar above.
I slouched and rolled my eyes. I guess we found our dress.
That night when I came home, it was to an empty house. All the light were off and I asked the maid where Athrun was. She told me that he had an emergency meeting.
I went to Athrun's room and turned on his lap top to check my mail.
There were a few form Hailey and some from Gail. I called up Athrun and waited for him to pick up. He would always pick up my call no matter what were the circumstances.
"Hey," I heard him say
"When are you coming home?" I asked walking to my own room though I usually slept in Athrun and placed my dress inside the closet.'
"I think it's going to be an all nighter," He said
I felt my mood go down and said, "Okay, that's fine."
"Sorry," he said softly, "I really don't want to be here."
"No," I said, "its okay, I can't stop you from doing your job. All the vampires rely on you."
"Sometimes I wonder how you can be, so understanding?" he said.
"That's because I love you Athrun," I said, "And the same can be said for you."
He chuckled and said, "I guess, how was shopping?"
I made a face and said, "Fine."
"That bad eh?" he said
"I don't want to remember," I said, "Anyways I'm probably disturbing you should go back to whatever you're doing."
"I will if you promise me you'll go to sleep," he said.
"I will," I said, "You better as heck be beside me when I wake up."
"I'll always try my best," he said
"That's what I want," I said, "Good night."
I could feel him smile and he said, "Sweet dreams angel."
I smiled and said "Bye," before hanging up. I took a shower and lay on the bed in the towel. I was utterly exhausted, and ready to collapse. I fingered Athrun's necklace and kissed it lightly. My eyes drooped and I was asleep before I even knew it.
I heard a crash and woke up startled. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and wobbly got up and swirled to the door to look both ways. A vase was on the floor broken into pieces.
"How'd that happen?" I whispered and walked up being careful of the glass.
I looked around the empty mansion. Maybe the wind blew it? However that would be a problem because there were no windows.
I looked down and realized that I was still in the towel from my shower and decided to get changed. I went to Athrun's room and shrugged off the towel and put on my underwear. I grabbed a shirt and put it on, when I heard a noise.
It was a whimper and I turned to see the empty room. Okay I was paranoid now.
I went over to the phone and dialed Athrun's number when the whimper sounded out again.
"Pick up now, you idiot," I hissed as I heard a groggy voice.
"Hey," Athrun said sleepily, "You're up early."
I heard a growl next and froze; I heard Athrun's breath stop as well.
"What's going on there?" he asked and I heard his car start.
"I don't know," I said turning to look around, "I keep hearing these noises."
Something pounced on me and I screamed loudly. I let out shriek as a little fur thing was tickling me.
"CAGALLI!!" I heard Athrun yell in fear.
I cried loudly as tears come out from my tickle frenzy and breathlessly said, "STOP!!"
I bashed my hands one wherever the thing move and it stopped letting me breathe and whimpered. The door opened and Athrun rushed inside to see me on the floor panting.
"On my side," I said feeling the little ball.
Athrun kneeled down and took the small fuzzy ball in his hands.
"What is it?" I asked looking at Athrun's amused face.
"See for yourself," he said placing the ball on my stomach. It unfolded and stretched out all of its limbs as I realized that it was a puppy.
I melted when it yawned
"It's so cute," I said as the puppy nuzzled my stomach and went to sleep.
"How'd it get in here?" Athrun said.
"I don't know, but the little guy broke your vase," I said going back to the puppy, "Hey little guy."
I puppy just nuzzled more and I asked Athrun, "Can I keep it?"
He said, "I guess it would be alight."
"I love my puppy," I said.
"Pup," Athrun corrected, "It's a baby wolf."
"Really?" I said rubbing its fur coat, "Where's the mom."
"Probably dead," he said.
"Aww the poor thing," I said sitting up with him in my arms.
I saw Athrun nod and took the fact that I no pants on. His hands skimmed over then and I went wet. I bit my lip and looked up and saw Athrun smirk.
"I haven't been in you, for a while," he said seductively into my ear and leaned in.
"Poor baby shouldn't see such naughty activities," I said tutting him
Athrun's face fell but nodded nonetheless.
"But," I said, "I'll put him in my room to sleep so wait here."
I think I made his day. We enjoyed each other thoroughly afterwards.
"So when's our flight again?" I asked Athrun while packing my suitcase and looking around to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything.
"9pm," he said, "I told you, you should have done all this earlier."
"Well sorry," I said putting in some bra which caught Athrun's keen eyes.
"I see some new stuff," he said.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Stuff you may get to see."
"May, what about a will," he said
"Depends on your behaviour," I said
"But, I'm such a good boy to you," he said.
"Athrun," I said his name slowly
"Yes my love," he replied looking at the time and putting in some coats and sweaters of mine.
"Shut up," I said, "And let me think what I'm missing."
"Cagalli, even if you forget anything, you can always buy it in Sweden you know," he said.
I nodded and said, "Sorry."
He smiled and said, "Its okay, but we really have to go now."
"Wait my dress," I said.
"Shiho took it and said she'd keep it safe for you," he said, "You know I haven't seen that either."
"Well you will…at the ball," I said zipping up the suitcase, "Let's go."'
Athrun took my suitcase and my hand we walked to his car. Next thing I knew we were on a private plane watching a horror movie on the flat screen television. I gripped my popcorn bag as the girl looked around for the killer. The music grew louder, I tried to not look until the guy suddenly popped out making me and the popcorn jump and every single girl, beside Shiho shrieked.
"Oww, my thighs Luna," Rey said, "Take your nails outs."
"Mir, I can't breathe," Dearka said as Mir was squeezing his neck like a stress ball.
"I love scary movie," Kira said holding Lacus delicately in his arms, as she poked her head up and asked, "Is it done yet?"
I looked at Athrun arms that were around me and relaxed. I was sitting on his lap and put a few more popcorns in his mouth.
"Scared?" he asked after chewing and swallowing.
"As if," I said rolling my eyes and squeezed his hand as another scary part came.
"Right," he said to my closed eyes.
"Fine," I said, "I freak out…just a little bit."
"At least she's doesn't scream," Shinn said covering his ears, "Let's put on some romance crap for them and watch the movie on the other TV."
"What a great idea," Auel said getting up, "What movie do you chicks want to watch?"
Meyrin bonked Auel's head and Stellar glared at Shinn. They both got up and went to the other televison.
"Now you've done it," Dearka said, "You're going to be deprived of sex for a week,"
Mir smacked Dearka and followed the other two.
Rey laughed and Luna went off glaring too.
The four girls-less men looked at me, Lacus and Shiho hopefully.
"What?" I asked and they grinned.
"Of course we'll help you make up," Lacus said.
"Just after we land," Shiho said stretching off and walked to join the girls.
Yzak lay back and remained napping.
Lacus kissed Kira and left to join the girls too.
I was going to follow when Athrun fastened his belt around me and whispered, "Now don't leave me."
"But, I'm going to be bored and go crazy with all this testosterone around me," I said pointing to the males.
"I resent that," Shinn said
"Then you resent that you're a guy," I said smugly.
"Oh right," Shinn said as light dawned upon him.
The intercom came up and warned off the flight getting a bit bumpy because of the rain.
I yawned and said, "I'll be back," kissed Athrun on the lips before he could protest and joined the girls.
"Hey," I said lying down on a cushion.
"Finally separated from him," Meyrin teased.
"You know Athrun," I said, "What are we watching?"
"I don't know," Stellar said, "I really don't want to watch anything."
"Me either," Luna replied, "Let's talk."
The cushion, being very comfortable, caused me to fall asleep in a matter of minutes.
A very familiar dream aroused in my mind.
I was in the same cellar tied up with something in my mouth. My eyes felt heavy as I tried to loosen the knot to no avail. I could fell my wrists get redder as I tugged feeling the burn. I tried to yell out, but all I could do was let out muffles.
I heard voice outside from the door and saw two shadows from under the door. It opened and two shadow demons entered with wicked smiles.
"Now look here, its Zala's bitch," the red haired one said
"I can't believe Rau got her in front of his own eyes," the brown haired one said.
I let out muffled curse and tried to move my legs so I could kick them.
"She's quite wild isn't she Jeff?" the brown haired one said.
"I remember Rau mentioning that," Jeff said
"I think we should get down to business," the brown haired one said.
"What did Boss say again Sean," Jeff asked
"Look for the mark," Sean said, "I'll check her neck again."
"But Rau said he didn't find it one her," Jeff said
"He just wants us to check again thoroughly, this girl will be of no use if she's not even claimed," Sean said
Jeff walked to me and I moved back using my feet.
"Not really so tough anymore," Jeff said smirking and grabbed my shoulders shoving me against the wall. I could see star as Jeff gripped my hair and moved my head back so he could check my neck.
"I don't see one," Jeff said letting me go so I fell to the floor.
"Fuck," Sean said, "Let's go then, the smell of her is getting to me."
"It wouldn't hurt to take a small sip," Jeff said.
"You know Rau, Jeff I don't get into shit because of you," Sean said.
"Fine," Jeff said kneeling down to me and whispered kissing my neck softly and inhaling, "I'll come back for you later."
I let out a tear, and I was smashed to the wall again going unconscious.
I jumped up from my nap shivering a bit. Rey was saying something about me and I sat up looking around and saw Stellar beside me.
"You okay?" she asked
"Yes, why?" I said forging a lie.
"Rey just said your mind was a bit hyper," she said as Athrun was beside me lifting me onto his lap.
"Hyper?" I said confused
Rey came up looking at me and said, "It was just for a moment."
Athrun nodded and said, "What happened?"
"Is taking a nap so dangerous?" I said huffing acting cranky.
"Oh sorry," Stellar said, "I didn't know you were still tired."
"Yes," I said yawning and leaning against Athrun feeling my insides finally relax and my heart slow down a bit.
Athrun rubbed my back and who couldn't fall asleep to that. I didn't know this was going to one of the last times I'd fall asleep in Athrun's arms.
Oh my
I guess from all the dreams i've given you can figure out what's going to happen
Again i'll update as quick as i can
