Chapter 4
NOTE: OK PEOPLE, I WILL NOT BE POSTING ANYTHING NEXT WEEK. I WILL BE ON VACATION, BUT I WILL TRY TO WORK on it while I am gone! ^_^ I will just have to write it down on paper while I am there. OH, AND I would like to thank all the reviewers. I tried to email everyone and thank you, but I couldn't get some of your addresses.
"Thanks for the ride, Relena. So, I'll pick you up for lunch tomorrow at 12:30?" Duo grinned, hugging her tightly.
"Yep. I still can't believe we work at the same place and never knew it!" Relena exclaimed laughing, "Um, Duo…you're cutting off my air!" She croaked.
"Oops! Sorry! Night babe!" He was clearly pleased when she blushed.
"Goodnight Duo."
Duo walked into the children's ward where Relena worked and walked up to the desk. He still couldn't believe that he had never seen Relena and she had never seen him. Every other woman in the place - even the married ones had hit on him. He grinned at the gorgeous woman sitting at the desk in front of him, "Hi there. I'm looking for Relena -" Lord, he hated it when women stopped walking by to stare at him. He decided to add a little something to get them to stop, "I'm supposed to take her out to lunch," he couldn't believe the answer he got.
"Screw that homely little thing! Why don't you take me out instead," she leaned forward to purposely show off some cleavage, "I'm a much better -"
"Shut that dirty, sluty mouth of yours, Rachel. Classy guys like this one don't go for whores," the girl pouted as Darcie looked at Duo, "Duo, right?" Duo nodded, he knew he remembered that girl, "Relena will be out in a few. She is changing into something more comfortable. By the way, could you tell Heero to just leave me alone? I really don't like him that way, and he keeps calling the front desk asking for me."
Duo couldn't believe this girl had turned down Heero, "Sure thing. You know, I think you are the first girl to ever turn him down." Darcie just grinned. 'Maybe she isn't as bad as I thought. She seems really nice.' Relena walked down the hall and Duo said his farewells to Darcie as she walked past Relena and nudged her. Relena had changed into a blue camouflage tank top and black cut-off shorts. "Hey babe! Lookin good! Now all I have to do is get you a date with your dream boat" this comment earned him a blushing face.
"Be quiet, Duo," she laughed, putting her arm around his waist as he did the same.
As they walked to the restaurant a few blocks away, Relena noticed many girls staring at Duo. She had a sudden urge to just run, and she almost did. "Duo, I'm sorry. I can't go to lunch with you. Why don't you take someone prettier out, like Darcie, or Rachel?" She had turned around and started walking quickly away. As she opened the door to the hospital, though, she bumped into someone, "I am so sorry! I -"
"Relena? Where have you been? I've been searching all over for you!" Heero Yuy stood in front of her - the last person she wanted to see right now. Tears filled her eyes. She had to escape, but - how?
"Relena! Why'd you run away from me like -" he noticed Heero, "Heero! Hey man, what you doin around here?" He grabbed Relena by the waist and pulled her to him. He took a quick moment to acknowledge her smile of thanks for saving her.
Heero glanced at the intimate gesture Duo made confusedly, "Looking for Relena, actually. I wanted to see if she wanted to go to tonight's banquet."
"Sorry, man. She already is going with me. Why don't you take Darcie?"
Heero frowned, "She and I aren't dating. I kept calling her this morning to see if she was busy, cuz I was going to set up an audition with my company to get funding to try playing for their team, but she was busy. Why did you think we were dating?"
Duo sheepishly grinned, "You had that look last night like you wanted to hook up with her."
"I was thinking about somebody else, not her!" The whole time, Relena just stood there, trying to decipher what hey were talking about. And, what banquet was she going to with Duo?
