Chapter 2: Meeting One Of The Two
Laura quietly shut the door and sighed. 'I hate that jerk. He needs to stay away from me and my life.' She walked back into her bedroom and looked at her dresses. She found a long lavender dress with a fan. She picked it up and decided to wear that at dinner. In the mean time, she would just stay in her light blue dress with her gloves. She needed some air and went up to the deck to look out at the ocean.
~*~*~*~*~*Meanwhile.*~*~*~*~*~
Trowa and Duo were unloading their clothes into the drawers. Soon after, they both decided to head up to the deck. It cramped in 3rd class and they needed some space and air. They walked up and sat down in a shaded area where deck chairs were.
"Ah, this is the life. What'd ya say Trowa?" Duo asked as he laid back in the deck chair.
"You said it. Those guys were too easy to beat." Trowa said in a laughing tone.
Laura was standing by the railing, not too far from the two, looking out at the sea. Duo spotted her and made a growling noise. "She's not bad, huh Trowa?" He asked as he motioned towards Laura. Trowa looked over at Laura and shook his head. "Not bad at all."
Laura could feel someone staring at her and she looked over her shoulder to see Duo and Trowa looking at her. She turned away pretending to ignore them.
"I'm gonna go make nice." Duo said to Trowa. He got up and walked over to Laura. "Hello there."
Laura looked at him. "Hello." She said.
"Name's Duo Maxwell."
"Laura Kaoki." She nodded at him.
"I couldn't help but notice your beauty."
"Flattery will get you nowhere Mr. Maxwell."
"Please, call me Duo." He grinned at her.
"Well, Duo, it was a pleasure talking to you but I must go in and get ready for dinner. Maybe I shall see you again sometime." She then strolled away, heading back to her room.
Duo watched her go and then walked back over to Trowa. "Let me guess, she blew you off huh?" Trowa said.
"I think I got her under my finger." Duo said, making up a lie.
"That's only why she just walked away from you. When will you ever learn Duo?"
"Whenever I want to." He said. "What about you huh? How do you approach a girl."
"Well, it's a different method than you have. It's more sophisticated. Whenever you approach a girl, you introduce yourself and make conversation. If she seems interested, then you ask her to go somewhere with you, then you progress from there." Trowa stated simply.
Duo snorted. "Nice but you don't just do that stuff. You have to complement them."
"As the old saying goes 'Flattery will get you nowhere.'" Trowa said, laughing.
"That's what that chick just told me." Duo said, recalling her saying that after he said that she was beautiful.
"She's a smart girl Duo. Don't mess with girl that are out of your range." Trowa smiled and then began to walk off. Duo shrugged and followed after him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Laura's Room*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Laura walked back into her room and sighed. "That man, how rude of him to say that to me. He wasn't even all that cute. His friend was cute though." She smiled at the remembrance of Trowa. "What am I saying?!? I'm getting married once I get off this ship. I can't be thinking of other men." She sighed. She didn't love Kevin. She was still trying to find the one person she loved. Her mother didn't care though. All she cared about was money to give herself a good reputation. "I can't marry Kevin. This is the first time in months that I've seen that man. I don't love him. Why can't my mother except that?"
End.
