Zel stood there
just staring at the girl in front of him that was suppose to be Lina, his
ex-sister. "L-Li-Lina?"
"Zel Oppa (1)!"
She gave him a big hug. "How you've been for the past 10 years?"
"I'm fine.
You've been doing alright?"
"Now I am! Now
that my big brother is here!" She grinned playfully at him.
Zel smiled back
softly. "Lina I've missed you."
"I missed you
too!! You are an ass! You didn't even bother writing me a single letter through
the years!" She pretended to pout.
"I'm sorry! But
I didn't have your address so I couldn't exactly write you! Filia didn't even
know her home address so I was out of luck!"
Lina grinned and
put an arm around him. "You don't have to get hyped up oppa! Chill out!"
Zel blushed.
"Looks like I gotta relax more huh?"
"Yeah you do!"
Zel became
serious. "For real Lina. How was your life for the last 10 years?"
Lina avoided his
eyes. "It's…it's not bad. But I prefer your parents."
Zel grabbed her
shoulder. "Are they treating you right?"
Lina nodded,
shaken by his sudden movement. "Dad's an ass and same with my brother, but mom
is cool. She and I are pretty cool with each other." Ling grinned. "Enough of
this seriousness! I gotta go take you to Xelloss!"
"Ah yes. The
fruitcake. Completely forgot about him."
Lina hit his
shoulder. "Now come on! Is that anyway to treat a friend of yours?"
Zel shrugged.
"With him, yes!" He grinned and then offered an arm toward Lina. "Shall we go?"
Lina took it.
"Yes. Lead the way milord."
~*~*~*~
Xelloss was next
to his window. He stared at the all the trees that were slowing dying away. He
liked how the red, yellow, and brown leaves were everywhere. It gave off the
mood he was feeling right now: glum. He sighed and looked away from the window.
He heard a knock on his door.
"Come in."
Lina's head
popped into the view. "Ahnyoung (2) Xelloss! I brought an old friend of yours I
believe!" Lina walked in dragging Zel.
Xelloss eye lit
up when he saw whom it was. "Oi Zel! Where have you been my man! How's my
favorite rock-headed friend doing?"
Zel let out an
exasperated sigh. "Maybe it was a mistake to bother coming to see you now."
Xelloss pouted.
"Awwww! Is that any way to treat a friend?"
"With you,
that's the best method to use on you." Zel smirked at Xelloss' fake expression.
Lina meanwhile
was sweat dropping. "Dang I didn't know you guys were this close. How'd you
guys meet?"
Zel was about to
answer when Xelloss interrupted with: "Sore wa Himitsu Desu!"
Zel groaned.
"Fruitcake, don't tell me you still use that stupid phrase!"
Lina just sweat
dropped. "Wow…Xelloss you are just like a new person. You were all depressed
and all whacked out. But now on the other hand…"
Zel raised an
eyebrow. "When were you ever depressed?"
Xelloss didn't
say anything, but gave both of them a goofy smile.
Both Zel and
Lina shook their heads. "Babo…(3)" muttered Zel.
Zel glanced at
his watch and realized that it was still early.
"How about
lunch? My treat." He offered to Lina and Xelloss.
"LUNCH???!!!
WHERE???" Lina jumped with joy.
Zel just looked
at her intently. "You never change at all. That's what I like about you."
Lina felt her
face turn red. What am I feeling? Why am I blushing? It's not like Zel never
complimented me before…
"Awwww!! Zelly
Hyung (4) is buying us lunch!" Xelloss cooed. "How sweet!"
"Dakchu (5)!"
Zel smacked him on the head.
"Apu (6)!"
Xelloss moaned.
"Let's go," Zel
said rolling his eyes.
~*~*~*~
2 hours, 50
plates of food, and 10 exhausted waiters later…
"Ahhhhhhhhh!
That was excellent food! I haven't had this good of a food since last time I
was with you Zel!" Lina patted her full belly and smacked her lips.
"I'm glad you
enjoyed Lina."
"Hey don't
ignore me again!" Xelloss exclaimed.
"Even if we
wanted to, we wouldn't be able to because you'd bug us every minute!" Lina
pointed out.
Xelloss cocked
his head and thought for a minute. "True. How true!"
Zel chuckled.
"Xelloss you are impossible."
"I try to be!"
Lina shook her
head and laugh.
Suddenly Zel's
cell phone rang. "Excuse me. Hello? Oh hi Filia. I'm at a restaurant. What do
you want? Amelia is calling for me? Uh-huh. Ok. Be there later. Bye." Zel hung
up his phone.
"You gotta go
soon Oppa?" Lina asked.
"Yeah you have
to go Hyung?" Xelloss echoed.
"Sorry guys.
Xelloss I'll give you a call later. Lina here's my cell number. Call me anytime
you want ok?" Zel handed Lina a piece of paper that had his number.
"Alright Oppa.
You take care now." Lina smiled.
Zel got up and
waved goodbye and left.
"Amelia? Isn't
she the mayor's daughter?" Xelloss wondered out loud.
"What about it?
So what if she's the mayor's daughter?"
"Oh nothing.
Come on. Let's go back to the hotel. You still got to work right?"
Lina nodded.
"Ok. Let's go."
~*~*~*~
Zel arrived
outside the hospital and wasn't happy at all. Not at all. Zel sighed and headed
toward the room that held the patient of doom.
Zel knocked on
Amelia's door and he heard "Come in."
"Hi Amelia. How
you feeling today?" Zel asked.
"Better now that
you are here." Amelia smiled widely.
"I see. What did
you want to see me for?"
"I just wanted
you to be here with me."
"Amelia. I got a
job to worry about. I don't have time to spend time at the hospital all the
time."
Zel's remark
stung her, but she kept her composure. "Well I'm sorry, but you are my fiancé
now so I think you should spend some time with me."
Zel tried to
keep his arms from slapping her. "Well I'm sorry. But I got a life too. If you
need me for a better reason, then call me." Zel left the room fuming to
himself.
"Why doesn't he
like me? What did I ever do to him? We will get married soon, so he should just
have come whenever I asked him too. Maybe I'm being little bit not fair?
Perhaps…but he's not being fair either!" Amelia lay down on the bed to sulk for
a while.
Lina…my
ex-sister. She's so pretty now. Why am I suddenly thinking about her a lot
these days? Zel sighed
to himself and started for his car so he could go home and start on the
painting of grown up Lina. Zel started his car. Looks like I got something
to entertain myself with now this afternoon.
