Chapter Two
It had been a week since Relena had seen Duo. Feeling bored, she decided to call him up and ask him to join her for dinner.
Picking up the phone, she pulled out his number written on a napkin. She waited, one ring, two rings, three rings, four rings, she was about to hang up when an exasperated Duo answered.
"Hello?" he puffed.
"Hey Duo. It's Lena. Wanna go for dinner?" she asked.
Duo took a few seconds to catch his breath before answering. "Uh, sure. I just got back from work. Let me shower and I'll pick you up at oh let's say, 7?" he asked. She agreed and they both hung up.
Heero grabbed his gun off the nightstand and tucked it into his shoulder holster. A wicked gleam in his eye flashed as he left the apartment in search of his girl and his soon to be former best friend. He got into his black vintage BMW ZX3. Speeding away, he listened Relena's conversation with Duo in his earpiece once more.
Two years he'd been waiting to find the right time to come back. Now was his time, as skilled as he was, he never realized that Relena and Duo were only friends.
Duo got dressed and picked up his keys off the dining table. One quick look in the mirror and he was on his way to pick up Relena.
Relena finished her shower and quickly pulled on a black sleeveless dress and black heels. Pulling her hair back into a quick bun, she fastened it with a few pins, looked herself over once and waited outside for Duo. Within minutes, she saw his car speeding down the road to stop right in front of her.
"Hey 'jousan. Get in and let's go," Duo said, while grinning. Thinking to himself, 'wow, she looks great,"
Relena let out a small smile. "Thanks for picking me up on time. So, you know where we're headed, right?" she asked.
"Of course I do. Shinigami knows his way around everything Lena. How was your day?" he asked, trying to make conversation.
The two exchanged brief information while Duo drove. Heero still listened into his earpiece, hearing Relena's giggles and Duo's laughs. Still driving, he pulled over and parked by a house. He wanted to know exactly what they were doing, and where they were going. Duo wasn't going to steal her away from him, not ever.
Within moments, Duo had managed to get them lost. Stopping, he pulled out his map, trying to locate which mistaken turn he'd taken.
"Duo, I thought you said you knew where we were going. Come on, switch places with me. You look at the map, and I'll drive, okay? I knew there was something wrong when you turned left at Duke. I think you were supposed to turn right," Relena chided. Laughing at his clueless expression, she playfully pushed him.
"Oi...your words are confusing me, 'jousan. Alright, get out. We'll switch, and hey, don't push me," he said as he pushed her back.
Heero's eyes squinted. The more he heard her laugh, the more his anger grew. This was the last straw. He was going to get rid of Duo, once and for all. If Duo could make Relena happier than she could have been with Heero, he'd let him live. But only for her. Hitting the gas pedal, he sped away to the restaurant to confront the two.
"Alright, 'jousan. It says to turn right here, and left at the next intersection. Haha, I admit it. I was wrong. You are the all mighty direction Queen," he said jokingly as he bowed to her. Relena laughed. Duo could be so funny sometimes. Bowing back to him, she saw the expression on his face.
"Well, I WAS the Queen of the World before, wasn't I? So this is just another crown to add to my collection," she joked. The two laughed some more until the restaurant finally came into view.
"Ha! I knew I was right Duo Maxwell. Bow down to your queen," she said, trying hard not to giggle. She got out of the car and waited for Duo.
"Ah, yes my queen. I am but a humble peasant bowing at your feet," he said, as he mock bowed. Relena slapped his arm and together, they walked towards the entrance.
"It's now or never Yuy. I have to stop this now," Heero told himself as he bolted out of the car and snuck up behind them.
"Hey guys, miss me?" Heero asked as he saw both of them turn around and drop their jaws.
