HEERO'S JEALOUSY
PART 4

The stars shone brightly, as the clouds were held at bay, making the crystal clear sky with a spattering of gorgeous stars, beautiful to gaze at. And gazing is exactly what Relena and her 'date' were doing. They were walking hand in hand along the beach, the waves crashing and breaking at their feet, as the moon shined it's glittering rays upon their faces, allowing them to bask in it's glory and beauty.
(Earlier in the Evening)
Christian had made reservations at an exclusive restaurant that overlooked the ocean, and was quite popular, by the hordes of people that crowded the beautiful Venetian style restaurant. "The Venetian"(original, I know) was so crowded, that despite having a reservation, Relena and Christian had to wait about an hour and a half before they were seated, but to Relena it was worth the wait. "The Venetian" was a new Italian restaurant, and the decor was absolutely gorgeous. The ceilings were high, and arches illuminated the door ways. There were paintings done by some of the most famous Italian painters adorning the walls. Chandeliers crested in gold, hung high from the ceilings, casting a golden glow around the grand room. The decor alone, would cause anyone hesitation to even dare touch the walls, from fear of ruining it. They were lead to their table and the setting alone was even more grand. Their silver ware was encrusted in gold, champagne glasses were of the finest crystal. Candles illuminated their table, making the setting seem very romantic. After the waiter left from taking their orders, they became immersed in deep conversation, and neither noticed the young man with an unusually long braid sitting at the table next to them, earning glares from his companion.
"Duo are you even listening to me?"
"HUH...What? I'm sorry did you say something Bran?" His girlfriend(obviously it's not Hilde) had murderous daggers in her eyes.
"I SAID...Ugh never mind." Seeing that he's royally ticked off his girlfriend, he tried to make amends.
"I'm sorry babe, I wasn't paying attention, my mind flew elsewhere" He gave her his infamous puppy dog look , but it didn't work this time, for his girlfriend was ready to throttle him. Luckily for Duo, a waiter came by to take their orders. Glancing at the menu, Duo nearly fainted when he saw the prices. 'They owe me for this. By the time we're finished I'm not going to have any money left' his thoughts were interrupted by his girlfriend calling out his name.
"Okay, I'll have the Chicken Alfredo with some bread sticks. Duo...Duo"
"HUH, what, did you say something?" He's in for it now. That's twice now, he's ignored his girlfriend. He cringed when she answered.
"Duo, you idiot. I said what are you going to order? The poor waiter has been standing here for at least ten minutes, waiting for you to come out of your silly day dream. So, Duo order. Now. Before I loose my patience with you." and order did he do. He ordered three main dishes(and he was complaining about the prices), leaving both his annoyed girlfriend, and waiter with big sweat drops on their brows. The waiter went to place their orders, saying it would be at least twenty minutes to half an hour before they would be ready.
"I can't wait that long. I'm starving. Why couldn't he take her to a more convenient place, like Jack 'n' The Box?" Duo whined. Causing his girlfriend to slap her face and mentally picture herself strangling him, until what he said finally registered in her mind. 'Bring her? Who the heck is he talking about?'
"Ummm...Duo, what do you mean by 'bring her to a more convenient place'? HMMM..."
"HMMM...OHHH, no one. I was only kidding. Yeah that's it, it was only a joke. HEHE"
"Duo Maxwell, tell me the truth, or you can just eat dinner by yourself" he knew she wasn't kidding. She'd done it before. -Sighs- 'I don't think I'll be able to get myself out of this jam, so I might as well be honest. Hey, maybe, Brandi can help with the whole Relena dating thing. Yeah it's perfect' (evil grin spreads over features...for you Brandi...hope you like)
"Well, you see Relena is on a date with a guy we don't know. Naturally, we are concerned for her safety, so we decided to follow her and her date." Seeing the look on his girlfriend's face, he coward back into his seat, trying desperately to explain to his extremely red faced girlfriend why they did this.
"Baby, honey, sweet pea, come on now. We couldn't help it. We love Relena like a sister. Besides, it was either us, or a very heavily armed Milliardo." Brandi stopped to think about what Duo just said, twisting her dark hair between her fingers. 'He's right, if that guy even leaned over to whisper in Relena's ear, Milliardo would go ballistic, and bring out that heavy machinery' she sighed in defeat, knowing that she couldn't persuade her offbeat boyfriend to leave Relena alone. Besides she really wasn't in the mood to witness or commit any bloodshed tonight.
"Duo, I can't believe you guys. I swear I don't know who's more protective, you pilots or her brother. Just promise me, that while you're here, you won't, and I repeat won't cause a scene. Do you think you can promise that, or is that asking too much?" Duo had a sweat drop on his forehead. 'I can't promise that. If he tries anything, I have to be there to protect Relena. If I didn't, not only would the guys and her brother kill me, but so would Heero' with the thought of Heero, Duo wondered if the Japanese pilot of Wing Zero will ever confess his love to the lovely princess of the Sank Kingdom. He knew Heero loved her, everyone did (though they never admit it), well almost everyone. Heero and Relena seem to be the only ones oblivious to Heero's true feelings. Milliardo just pretended he didn't realize it, probably just so he didn't go and do something drastic. Milliardo was having a very difficult time adjusting to the fact that Relena was no longer a little girl, but a true woman. Shaking off his thoughts, Duo returned his attention back to his beautiful girlfriend, who had suddenly become very still and whose eyes suddenly looked like they were too big for her sockets.
"Babe what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?" and with that he turned around to see what his girlfriend was looking at. What he saw nearly made him fall off his chair. There, looking very handsome in his formal wear was none other then the pilot of Wing Zero, Heero Yuy, with a gorgeous blonde attached to his arm.(Did you think I forgot about Heero? Sorry I didn't he is after all the main character and main point of why I wrote this story).
"OH MY GOD" Duo and Brandi said in unison. They couldn't believe it. Heero Yuy the, stoic pilot of Wing Zero was out on a date, with an incredibly hot girl. Not just any hot girl, but Melanie Harpersan, a debutante, that clearly has kept an eye on Heero for quite a while now. And who, by the look on her face was thoroughly enjoying the attention she was getting from both Heero, and the restaurant's occupants. Everyone seemed to notice them, everyone except Relena that is. She was more engrossed in her date's conversation than to what had gained everyone else's attention. Duo leaned over to see if Relena had seen Heero. She seemed oblivious to anything other than her date. 'Phew, that was close if Relena saw Heero and vice versa we could expect another war'
"I wonder what he's doing here?"
"I don't know Duo. Maybe he didn't love Relena after all, and all those 'subtle' hints he gave were your imagination" Duo gave her a death glare that could rival even that of Heero's.
"I DO not imagine things Brandi. I swear he loves her, I think. I just wonder what he's doing here with her.?"
"Really, from what I hear she can bed a man in less than five-minutes"
"Wow, she really knows how to work it....(Brandi at this moment was giving her boyfriend the infamous look that all girlfriends give their men, continue your statement and find out what'll happen, Duo seeing this quickly shuts his trap and blushes trying to change the subject) UMMM...look pumpkin our food is here, lets dig in. Bon Appetite"
"HMMM, that's what I thought. Bon appetite baby" the two indulgently began to eat their food, while at a table a few feet away sat a very irritated man.
'Duo, that idiot. He's supposed to be protecting Relena, and instead he's stuffing his face full of food. Something could've happened to 'my' angel and he would still be stuffing his face. But how the hell did he get in here, I strongly doubt that he made reservations, but I guess it's a good thing when your dating the owners daughter. You don't need reservations'
"Oh Heero, I was utterly surprised, and delighted that you invited me here for dinner. It's not everyday one gets to eat dinner with a Gundam pilot"
"It's nothing really, Melanie. I just thought I should expand my horizons, better yet my circle of friends." (Yes, I do realize that Heero is OOC, but hey who cares...not me, so back to the story) Heero said this with his usual cold monotone voice. A voice that could send chills and irritation down ones' spine. Melanie oblivious to the fact that Heero was paying more attention to a certain honey blonde hair girl, than to herself. She kept on babbling until their order arrived. It was at that moment that Relena excused herself from her conversation, to head to the ladies room, that she finally noticed him. His eyes were cold and expressionless, but jealousy coursed through his veins at the mere thought of 'his' angel on a date with another man. She looked him in the eyes, than she looked at his date. Tears began to form in her beautiful blue eyes, tears she quickly pushed aside. 'Stop it Relena. Heero Yuy is not worth the pain he's been causing you. So just stop the tears. You're on a date now. A real date, with a man who holds an apparent interest you. Heero is nothing more than heartache, bitter and unyielding' She managed to make her way to the restroom, where she cried for a good five minutes, finally letting loose the anger and resentment she held in her heart for the pilot of Wing Zero.
"This is it. I know now that he could never love me. It's time I finally put aside these feelings and move on. I must be strong, stronger than I've ever been. Yes I can do this, I can forget about Heero Yuy. Goodbye Heero. I hope you finally find happiness" and with this Relena stepped out of the bathroom and into a new reality , a reality where Heero Yuy no longer controlled the strings of her heart.
