Chapter 2! Yes, it's finally here (sorry all you peeps!). (see below for fic)

Another one brought to you by: Hilde

Come Back to Me - chapter 2

"No," Hilde impulsively said. "What made me say that?" she wondered. "No, Jeff. I won't marry you," she spoke, the anger rising in her voice. "IT'S OVER NOW JEFFORY! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE!" without waiting to hear his pitiful excuses, she slammed to phone down, breaking the connection.
Duo was resting his head on his folded arms, looking over the back of the sofa at Hilde's room. The locked clicked, and Hilde stepped out, trying to look collected. Upon noticing Duo, she smiled nervously.
"So I guess it's over," Duo said. "I got here just in time. She might've accepted," thought Duo, secretly cheering. "Now she's free. Although I do feel a bit guilty. She may have actually liked him..."
"Uh, yeah. I guess you heard. So... I'm not tired yet. Are you?"
"Nah. You ever do it before?" Duo didn't know what he had said until it was too late to cover it up.
"Uh..." Hilde looked at Duo, amazed and surprised by her best friend's personal question. "He's got some nerve!" part of her shouted, while the other was hoping what it meant. "Well, Jeff and I kindda did."
Duo tried not to look too disappointed, but he guessed Hilde could read him too well, by her faint "I'm sorry" expression. "You know, Cilia and I were about to, but I," Duo considered what, and how much, he would tell her. "I couldn't. It didn't seem right..." he could have continued, but a long, disappointed conversation broke his conversation and engulfed them both.
"I better go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow for work. You know I'm still in the salvage business (for you), but I needed a second job."
"Hey, me too. I'll see you tomorrow morning?"
"If you get up at five in the morning." Hilde put on a military act, "Up before the crack of dawn," she mockingly recited. This caused them both to laugh. "The bed in the guest bedroom is already made. Help yourself," she smiled, watching Duo's face. It looked as though he was hoped for a shared-bed deal. Too bad.

~The next morning~

"It's to early to get up," Hilde moaned as she got up out of bed, and slowly walked to the bathroom to shower.
Duo woke to the sound of running water, and Hilde's voice sweetly drifting from the bathroom. He smiled. Deciding to have breakfast first, he got up and moved to the kitchen.
A few minutes later, Hilde strolled out of the bathroom. She hadn't planned on the late-sleeper's change of habit, so wasn't prepared.
Duo noticed her, then quickly turned his back to her again, face completely red. Hilde wasn't as quick to notice Duo. She turned to the kitchen, wanting to get a towel from the closet by that room, but shrieked, when she saw him standing there, completely frozen. "Oh my god!" she thought, quickly slipping back into the bathroom.
"Can I get you anything?" Duo asked through embarrassed laughter he attempted to hide.
"Put some pants on!" Hilde yelled, reminding Duo that a pair of boxers were the *only* things he was wearing. This wasn't really what Hilde wanted; actually, she enjoyed watching him walk around topless. He had a great, formed body. But with on the boxers, she like the view. (a/n: yummy!)
"Well, at least I'm not an exhibitionist!" Duo laughed, getting her a towel. "Don't you have a bathrobe?"
"Thanks," she said, accepting the towel while hiding behind the door. "I never needed one."
"You mean all those times you got up early, you were running around our place naked?!" Duo asked in shock.
It was confirmed by suppressed giggles coming from behind the closed door.
"And I missed it!"
"That's what you get for sleeping in!"
"Efficient Hilde," Duo thought. "Sexy, efficient Hilde," he thought, smirking.
"Go out some pants on, or make a cup of coffee, or something. I'm going to be late!"
"Is that an 'or'?"
"Don't make me come out there..." Hilde threatened, quickly regretting it.
"I think I'd like that."
Duo stalked off to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. The kitchen happened to be, oddly, right below the bathroom. Duo decided to use this to his advantage.
Once Hilde was sure the coast was clear, she slipped out of the bathroom, towel around her, covering everything that might tempt him. Well, from a level point, anyway.
Duo slowly looked up to see Hilde standing there above him in a towel that did little to cover her from his point of view. To add humor, and get Hilde to notice him, he did a loud whistle.
Hilde screamed, and dashed into her room. Duo smiled victoriously on the floor below. "You can you the bathroom now Duo," she said quickly from her room.
"Thanks," Duo answered, walking up the steps.
"I'll be gone by the time you get out. Trust me."
"Whatever."

Sure enough, by the time Duo got out, it was apparent that Hilde had left.

~Later~

After her hours, Hilde could be found walking down the street back to her house, when a great ruckus rose up from the street she'd left behind. It was none other than Duo, dressed in (Hilde's fav), tight, black leather pants, and a black leather jacket. But something was missing. It was that red shirt he usually wore under the jacket. This became more apparent as he sped up to her on a Harley. It looked as if it could've been a commercial. People's heads were turned to them like "noisy kids" or "who's the lucky girl" expressions. Some of the guys were either "Dude!" or jealous.
"Hey there Babe," Duo said seductively over the idling motor. He revved it. His eyes wandered over Hilde's body. The tight jeans, to the form-fitting strapless tank. "Whoo! You're allowed to wear *that* to work?!"
"Yeah."
"So Babe, wanna ride?" he said in a smooth voice, putting his sunglasses back on, and starting the whole "cool guy" thing again.
"What is it with guys, motorcycles, and this act?" Hilde wondered. (a/n: Guys, you wanna answer that?) "Sure, but it looks like a one-person thing," Hilde commented.
Duo scooted up on the seat, making room for Hilde. "Hop on!"
Hilde carefully climbed on.
"Com'on. If you sit like that, you'll fall off!"
Hilde didn't feel exactly comfortable with having her legs open to Duo, even if it was his back, but she somehow enjoyed it. She pressed herself up against Duo's back, not wanting to fall off. To further insure she wouldn't fall off, she wrapped her arms tight around Duo. She would've sworn, if he were some sort of animal, she would be about to see his fur perk slowly up at her closeness.
"Ready?" Duo asked.
"I think so," Hilde said uncertainly.
Duo revved the motor, and sped away. They were going so fast, Hilde felt like she would fall off, so she tucked her legs up around Duo, and tighten her hold on him. "Hello! Duo! Look out!"


Sorry, that's all I can type tonight. Yes, another evil cliffhanger. I'll type more tomorrow. Trust me, the fic is finished, it just needs to be typed. Please review. Thanks for reading!
