Relena walked in the gardens of Quatre's mansion. So far, she hadn't been able to see her brother. Neither he nor his wife were at home, and they had called her to visit them. They weren't even home! She knew that this was a ploy to get her to spend time with Quatre. But she just didn't see him like THAT. They had grown up together and were like brother and sister. That didn't stop her brother and sister-in-law from match making, obviously.
There was a noise from one of the bushes. She turned around sharply to come face to face with Heero Yuy. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened. After a couple of minutes she finally found her voice and asked, "What in Heaven's name are you doing here?"
He looked a little ruffled. His shirt was stained with dirt, un-tucked, his pants were wrinkled, and his unruly hair was even more unruly. He had been waiting in that bush since before sunrise, praying that the guards didn't find him. "What happened to 'hello'?"
"It disappeared the minute you started stalking me! What are you doing here?" she asked again. This time she nearly shouted.
"I'm doing fine, and yourself?" he asked sarcastically. She looked good this early in the morning. 'Gotta concentrate,' his mind said to him.
"Cut the bullshit and answer the question! What the hell are you doing here? How did you know I was here?" She was exasperated. He knew what his plan was, and she was not going to fall for it. She did so once and it had totally screwed her head and her heart up.
"I came to see you, of course. You should be happy that I came."
"Well, I'm not and I want you to leave. Quatre will be here any moment and I don't want him to find you here! Get the hell out!" she ordered and pushed him.
"Oh, so it's for Quatre's benefit? Is he your new boyfriend?" he asked narrowing his eyes.
"So what if he is? It's none of your business! I don't have to explain myself to you! You are nothing, we're not friends or anything of the kind! So I suggest you get the fuck out of here before I get security on your ass!" Her temper had gotten the best of her. She didn't want to play his stupid little mind games. The only thing she regretted was the little outburst with Quatre's name. Quatre wasn't her boyfriend and she didn't want him to pretend to be. She wasn't going to use him like that.
"Come on! You know you still want me--"
"Oh no, Heero Yuy. I'm not going to play your little game again. I fell for it once, but that was it. I'm not that stupid as to believe that you suddenly saw the light at the end of the tunnel and you suddenly regretted what happened! NO! Sorry, but no! Now get the hell out!" Relena pushed him again. She was so angry she was shaking.
"Relena, please give me--" he started but her yelling interrupted him.
"Oh my God! Security! There's a pervert in the gardens! Quatre, Quatre! Help! Oh don't hurt me! Please!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.
Heero looked around nervously to see of anyone was coming. "Shh! What are you doing?" he asked quietly. "Come on, don't do this?"
She smiled at him for a second, then started yelling again. "Help me! Don't touch me! Oh, please!"
The guards came running to her and when they saw Heero they tackled him. The pinned him to the ground just as Quatre came running towards her. He wasn't only in his pajama bottoms and hadn't bothered to put on his robe when he'd heard her screams.
"What happened? Relena are you okay?" he asked, a worried expression on his handsome face.
Relena put on her best damsel in distress face, which looked genuine, and looked up at his aqua eyes. She forced some tears and said, "Quatre, I was just walking and suddenly this pervert came out of the bushes! He tried to paw me! Oh, Quatre, I was so scared!"
Quatre hugged her to him and looked at Heero. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" he asked harshly.
"Relena, tell them you know me! Come on, stop being such a--"
Relena hid her face in Quatre's chest. That made Heero mad as hell. Relena was trying not to laugh. "I don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen you in my life!"
Quatre looked at Heero disgustedly. "Throw him out, and double the security around the house," he ordered. With that he and Relena started walking away. Relena looked back and smiled at Heero. She moved closer to Quatre and he hugged her tighter.
Heero gritted his teeth and was hauled to his feet by the two burly men. He was half carried, half dragged outside and they literally dumped him out on the street. He got up and dusted himself off. Grumbling, he walked back to his hotel. 'Screw her, I'm going home!'
"I saw right through you, Relena. What was that about?" asked Quatre as they entered the house.
She laughed and said, "It was that guy I dated a while back You know the one that..."
"That guy... what was he doing here?"
She shrugged. "I don't know, I don't care. He's trying to play games with me again, but I taught him a lesson. No more 'Ms. Nice Relena' for him."
Quatre laughed. "Anyway, we have to make travel arrangements. You still want to go home tomorrow?"
"Hmm... yeah. I don't want to miss work."
*~*~*~* (i don't remember the time difference between the US and England, so just go with it, okay? i don't feel like looking it up)
Hilde awoke late that morning. She sighed and reached out her arm to the other occupant of the bed. Her hand didn't find him, so she opened her eyes and looked around the room. She sat up and noticed his clothes were gone. A blind panic filled her. It was happening again... Her chest rose and fell rapidly.
'No, no, Duo isn't like that. Maybe we just rushed things. He had wanted to take things slowly. Yes, that's it.'
"I'll call him, and we'll talk about it," she said aloud. She reached for the phone and dialed his cell phone number. It wasn't off, it rang six times before he finally answered.
"Hello?" he said.
"Duo, it's Hilde," she said slowly.
There was a long, pregnant pause. "Uhh, listen... babe, I'm kinda in the middle of something. I'll-- I have to go," he said hurriedly and hung up. He closed his eyes. He'd totally cut her off, but he couldn't have helped it. He wasn't feeling like he thought he was going to feel. And he knew he still had to keep up the charade, at least until his father announced his retirement on Monday. Then he would announce that he had to choose his replacement, and Duo had to be ready to persuade Hilde.
"Where the hell is Heero? He didn't tell me he was going anywhere!" he said to himself. He had been trying to call him since last night and he still had his phone off. He couldn't talk to Hilde yet. He felt too... something. For right now, he'll just have to find a good excuse to not talk to Hilde. He dialed her number and waited for her to answer.
"Hello?" Duo heard her say.
"Hilde, it's Duo."
"..."
"Hello?'
"I'm still here," she said.
"Hey, listen. I didn't want to cut you off earlier. It's just that I'm getting ready to... go out of town. I have to run some errands for my father in... Texas. I'm gonna be gone till, probably, Monday."
"Oh, then I guess we can't talk till then. Have a nice trip... I guess," she said sadly. She wasn't stupid. She heard all those little pauses in between. She could take it though. She was prepared to admit that maybe they'd made a mistake, and that maybe they should take it slower.
"I'll see ya on Monday, babe. Bye."
tbc...
AN: hee hee! I thought to myself, 'I should write a chapter today before going to work.' So I did! (I only work weekends to I have no free time)
