Chapter 15
In the darkness of the limo, with the light of the passing streetlights Quatre saw a glinting of silver. "I'd never seen that before, when did you get it done?" he asked pointing at Hilde's navel ring.
Hilde smiled, "Oh, this? I got this done a while ago... you just couldn't see it."
He cleared his throat and realized he'd been staring at it while she was talking. "It's nice..." he hesitated before saying, "it's sexy."
Hilde had to laugh at that. She didn't see Quatre as a potential boyfriend. Far from it, but it was nice to see that he found her attractive. She needed as much help as she could get. She didn't want to use Quatre, but it would show Duo that other men did find her attractive. "You're sweet, Quatre," she said.
"But you don't see me as more than a friend..." he said with a small smile of his own.
"I'm--"
"No, don't apologize. I can't see myself with you, like that. No offense, but I consider you a good friend also. Besides, I know all about Duo."
Hilde closed her eyes and shook her head. "Duo--"
"And if you let me, I will make tonight very pleasant for you, and a nightmare for him. Just for the fun of it." Quatre smiled even though he was sure she couldn't see his broad smile.
She heard it in his voice. "If you're sure," she said in mock uncertainty. She glanced at the other couple in the limo, totally engrossed with each other.
Quatre saw her look at Relena and Carlos. "Good, I knew they'd like each other. She needs a man," he whispered in her ear. She just giggled. The driver announced that they were in their appointed destination.
The young men helped the two girls out of the limo and entered the darkened Club Satire. The club was huge and there were three levels to it. The entrance was on the second, up a set of stairs was the third, which was mostly tables and a small dance floor. The second had a larger dance floor than the firs, it took about a third of the space and the rest was tables. The live band was on the third level of the club down a large ramp, that level was the largest of the three and contained the largest dance floor. All three levels faced the stage. The music blared from the huge speakers. The smell of alcohol and smoke was strong, but not at all unpleasant. The two couples headed to the third level of the club. They sat in the last row of tables nearest the stage. A banister separated that particular part, which was reserved for special guests. They sat at a round table in a sofa that was shaped in a semi circle placed against the banister so they would be facing the stage.
Duo and his 'date' sat in the last table in the same row as Hilde. He was on the opposite side of the ramp, so Hilde didn't see him when she came in. Catherine Bloom was practically sitting on his lap. He hadn't planned on bringing her as his date, he was going to go solo, hoping Hilde would too, but she had all but stuck herself to him with invisible glue since that day in the office. He frowned upon seeing Quatre place his hand on Hilde's bare lower back. 'Now I know why Heero hates Blondie,' he thought murderously.
He looked at her longingly. Her hair looked great, despite the lack of light in the club it seemed to shine with its natural blue highlights. She looked hot in that outfit and smiled to himself. They matched. He was wearing black leather pants, though not tight like hers, an opened button down, long-sleeved, black shirt, and a black wife beater underneath. He fought the urge to scramble away from Catherine, who was dressed in plastic looking baby blue pants and a bra-looking shirt made of the same material. She was too damn clingy! 'Shit, this girl is getting on my nerves.
Heero came down the ramp with his date, Sally. He looked around for Duo, but instead spotted Relena. 'Who the hell is that with her?' he thought moodily. He looked at Sally, her eyes didn't stay in one place for too long. Sighing he searched again for his friend. Heero was dressed in a dark blue turtleneck sweater with a light blue stripe along the chest and sleeves. He wore dark blue jeans that hung low on his hips. His hair as messy as ever. He looked at what Sally was wearing a red, shiny, backless dress. The back was made up of criss-crossing thin strips of the same material. Her large breasts looked a little to big to be in the too small dress, as if a little tug in the back would rip it. Her slightly wavy hair hung around her shoulders.
Relena was too engrossed in Carlos to notice Heero walk by. It wasn't that she didn't look for him, it was just that she had missed his big entrance with the bimbo.
"Wanna dance?" asked Carlos, shouting in Relena's ear due to the level of the music and the conversations going on around them.
"Yeah!" she shouted back. She took his hand and lead him to the large, dark dance floor.
*~*~*~*
The four couples had been at the party for at least an hour, Hilde and Relena hadn't forgotten Heero and Duo, but they hadn't seem them since they arrived.
Hilde was dancing with Quatre to a lively song. Duo watched her from his table, refusing to dance with Catherine who had already had a little too much to drink; she wasn't drunk yet, just buzzed. She was in the process of almost slobbering on his neck, her version of a sensuous kiss. He took his eyes off Hilde long enough to push her, slightly, back into her own seat. When he focused his eyes on Hilde and her dancing partner his eyes went dark. Quatre had his hands low on the back of Hilde's hips, what Duo considered her ass. The song had changed to a slow, sexy one. Her arms were around his shoulders and Duo could see him place his mouth on her shoulder. He growled in anger. He looked over at where Heero was dancing with Sally, he wasn't concentrating on her though. His friend's eyes were on Relena who was involved in a tonsil hockey match with her unfamiliar partner.
Anger radiated from Heero. It was time he took matters into his own hands. He steered Sally closer to the unsuspecting couple. He made the bump them a little so they could catch a breath. The couple reluctantly let go of each other and stared at Heero and his partner. Relena scowled. Shaking her head in anger she turned to Carlos.
Too late!
Sally's and Carlos' eyes had met.
'Hook, line, and sinker,' thought Heero with a smirk.
"Let's sit down!" shouted Carlos to the angered Relena.
"Fine!"
He led her to their table. They ordered another round of drinks for themselves and their friends. Hilde giggled and signaled to Quatre that she wanted to sit down for a while.
They joined Relena and Carlos at the table, at which point Carlos excused himself to go to the bathroom.
Heero, who had also joined his friend at their table, laughed evilly. 'If Sally isn't good at nursing, then she was definitely good at this...' Heero thought.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Duo.
"Ha ha ha! I just sabotaged Relena's little date!"
Duo looked at the table to see Relena sitting alone beside Hilde and Quatre.
He looked back at his friend with a look of admiration. "How the hell did you manage that?"
"Easy, prance around with Nurse Sally practically coming out of her dress and it'll turn any guys attention. You should do the same, though I suggest not with little miss passed out here," he said pointing at Catherine.
She wasn't really passed out, just buzzed... a lot. Duo fought off her paws again. Then he smiled. "I got a better idea," he said. He stood up and walked away to dissappear into the throng of dancing bodies.
*~*~*~*
Hilde had spotted Duo a while ago. She had just been trying to ignore him. She had seem him with Catherine, her hands all over him. 'The jerk,' she thought. Despite all of that, she was having a good time. Quatre was a good dancer, despite all the drinks he'd consumed. He had helped her take her mind off Duo, all the while making him jealous by touching her a certain way, by kissing her lightly.
She had to admit, it felt kind of good having that power. She HAD noticed all the looks Duo was sending her way. His eyes smoldering with jealousy. 'Taste of your own medicine, you jerk!' she thought.
Suddenly the music died down and all the lights went off momentarily, and all the noise died down. The spotlight focused on the stage. A young man dressed all in black was standing in front of the microphone.
"Isn't that Duo?" asked Relena looking at her friend.
"What is he doing?" she asked, more of herself than of her friend.
They focused their attention on Duo again. "In honor of Maxwell Fashion newest president!" he said loudly. Suddenly the spotlight shifted to where Hilde sat.
She felt all the blood rush to her face. Good thing they couldn't see it. All she could do was smile stupidly.
"This is for you, Hilde. I love you, baby!" said Duo into the microphone, and closing his eyes he began to sing:
"If I had one single wish
I'd go back to the moment I kissed
You goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I can't live
Without you in my life
Maybe you'll say you still want me
Maybe you'll say that you don't
Maybe we said it was over
But baby I can't let you go"
Hilde's heart rate sped up. She couldn't believe what was happening. Duo was singing her a song! He looked directly at her, he closed his eyes again in concentration.
"I walk around trying to understand
Where we went wrong
And I can't pretend
It wasn't me
And it wasn't you
But I'm convinced
We gave up too soon
Maybe you'll say you still want me
Maybe you'll say that you don't
Maybe we said it was over
But baby I can't let you go"
Hilde covered her face with her hands. A silly, happy smile plastered on her lips. He had such a beautiful voice. She could hear the emotion in it. In every expression, in every lyric he sang. Her eyes began to water.
"Nothing left to lose
After losing you
There's nothing I can't take
When I run to you
When I come for you
Don't tell me I'm too late"
Duo took the microphone from its stand and walked off the stage. The spotlight following, he reached her table, and took her hand, kissing the back of it.
"Maybe you'll say you still want me
Maybe you'll say that you don't
Maybe we said it was over
But baby I can't let you go"
He walked back to the stage still holding her hand. They were both on the stage now. He hugged her to his body. Whispering, "I love you, please forgive me," before going back to the song.
"Maybe you'll say you still want me
Maybe you'll say that you don't
Maybe we said it was over
But baby I can't let you go"
As the band played the last notes, with the spotlight still focused on them, Duo grabbed Hilde and kissed her for all he was worth.
The roar of applause managed to pull them apart. There were cat calls and whatnot. They hugged again.
In one of the tables Heero smiled at his friend. "Not something I would have done, but good nonetheless," he said to no one in particular. He stood up from his chair and walked to Relena's table.
Relena looked around for Carlos, he'd been gone for a long time. She looked to the other side only to discover Heero sitting next to her. He didn't say anything, he merely pointed towards a corner of the dance floor.
Her eyes widened at the sight of Carlos practically having sex with Sally. She scowled.
