Meant To Be
Chapter 3: Fun with Cold Water
Relena entered the house in silence, in fact, she hadn't said a word since entering the limo back at Heero's house. Milliardo watched her intently from his perch on the stair's railing. She walked into the middle of the foyer and handed her coat to Pagan with a nod. Then she adjusted her shirt, which had twisted inside the confines of her jacket. Milliardo's impatience got the better of him and he stood.
"Well?" he pressed stepping off the stairs and standing before her. She looked up at him a moment as though she didn't know what he was talking about. She smiled sweetly and shrugged her shoulders in defiance. He sighed. "Come on Relena, the details, I want to know everything that went on over there." He said in a whining tone, more than mildly amusing to Relena who stifled a laugh.
"Nothing happened." She said in a voice dripping of hidden meaning. Milliardo was ready to burst of anticipation as she purposefully walked passed him and up stairs. Her clothing was still a little damp and she needed to change.
"I know exactly what you're going to do up there." He stated in a knowing and taunting tone, with mock hurt underlining it.
Relena paused in her movements, afraid he may already know what had transpired that evening. How could he know? She asked herself. "And what is that?" She asked back, keeping that diplomatic cool demeanor she was so good at, giving away nothing to her brother.
"You're going to go to your room, shut the door and call Hilde, telling her all the juicy details and leaving none for me." He said in a whimpering tone. Relena again resisted the urge to laugh as she turned and continued up the stairs to her room. At the top of the stairs she turned back around to her brother who was waiting intently for her to say something.
"That is exactly what I was going to do. But if you must know, it was a lovely night, we watched a good movie while eating Chinese food. His sister is quite the amusing person and I greatly enjoyed her company, she reminds me a lot of Heero. And that, you little snoop, is all I'm going to tell you." With that said she turned on her heel and walked to her room.
She walked in her room and locked the door behind her. She had actually planned on calling Heero that night, and saving a call to Hilde for tomorrow morning, but decided to switch the schedule as it was quite late and she was eager to tell Hilde of everything that had happened since that morning when she received Heero's letter, or rather, everything that had happened since she had made up her mind to write a letter to him. She walked over to her dresser and opened it, reaching in, she pulled out a warm looking pair of cotton shorts and a matching T-shirt. She quickly took off her still damp skirt and slid the shorts on, doing the same with the shirt. Next, she sat on her bad, leaned up against the backboard, making herself as comfortable as possible for the long conversation she was to have with Hilde.
She picked up the phone and dialed Hilde's number. But, it was Duo who answered, "Hello?" he said cheerfully.
"Hello Duo," Relena said back, "how are you?"
"Hey, it's Relena." he said as though he was talking to someone other than her. She heard a few familiar voices in the background. One was Quatre who yelled a hello to her, one was Trowa who had asked someone why she was up so late and one was Hilde who it seemed was then trying to get the phone away from Duo. Relena glanced at the clock at Trowa's remark. It isn't that late. She thought to herself as Hilde's voice then greeted her.
"Hey girl, what's up?" Hilde said in a happy tone.
"Hi Hilde, I just had the best night of my life and I have to tell you about it. But first, are all the Gundam Pilots at your house right now?" Relena replied.
"Yeah, all except Heero, who is actually the topic of conversation tonight." Hilde said back.
"Oh really, why is that." Relena inquired, quite intrigued by the timing.
"Apparently, a few days ago Quatre saw someone leave his apartment, a women." Hilde said in a mysterious tone, as though it was some great scandal.
Relena laughed, "Tell the guys that the girl who left Heero's apartment is his older sister Elizabeth, and she goes there every once and a while to water the plants and look through his mail."
"What?!" Hilde cried.
"Just tell them."
There was a pause for a moment as Hilde relayed the message to the guys. A loud commotion followed. "Okay Relena," Duo voice said loudly, "you're on speaker now, explain."
Relena smiled to herself.
After a few hours had passed Relena had finished explaining the whole story, to everyone. She figured she should just tell them all at once, rather than explaining it individually to each. The only thing she left out was what had happened in the kitchen in order to get her and Heero so wet. That secret was reserved for Hilde alone, as soon as she got to talk to only her.
They were each now processing all the information they had been given. She could only imagine the looks of awe on their faces. Suddenly she heard a beep on her end of the phone line.
"Hold on guys, I have another call." She said before clicking over to the other line. "Hello?" she asked.
"Hey beautiful." Came Heero's reply.
"Hey, I was just talking about you." She replied, a smile instantly spreading full force across her face.
"Oh yeah, to who?"
"Hilde, Duo, Quatre, Wufie and Trowa. Quatre had seen Liz at your apartment a few days ago and they had apparently called a meeting to talk about you at Hilde's. Then I called to talk to Hilde and I ended up explaining the whole night to them. Well, most of it." Relena said in an amused tone.
She heard Heero's quiet laughter on the other end. "Alright, I'll let you talk to them then, I'm sure they are going to bombard you with questions. If you're not too tired when your done with them call me back."
"Okay, goodbye until then, I love you." She said, almost sad the he was going to go.
"I love you too."
And with that she clicked back over to hear quite a loud commotion at Hilde's house. "What's going on now?"
"Now…" Hilde said in exasperation "They all want to see him."
After a few more minutes, the guys had told Relena what to tell Heero for them and that he had to call them and set up a reunion of sorts, she was finally on the phone with only Hilde.
She had just gotten to the part of the story when she walked into the kitchen to clean with Heero.
::Flashback::
Heero, with his burnt hand picked up the pot lying upside down on the floor. There was water all over the floor, but it was discolored, as Relena had just noticed.
"I thought it was just water." She said in surprise of this new discovery.
"With a few spices." Heero corrected. "What we have to do is use the water sprayer from the sink to make this water and spice mixture go down the drain." He said, indicating to the drain in the middle of the kitchen floor. Relena nodded.
"I can do that." She said. He nodded and went to put the rest of the stuff he had taken out to cook with away.
Relena walked over to the sink and turned on the water. "Does it matter if it's hot or cold?" she asked over her shoulder.
"Cold is better." He replied, "It doesn't use up all our hot water that way."
Relena pulled the sprayer out so that she could use it on the floor. She was surprised at the pressure of the water being released by it. It was quite fast. She cleaned the floor diligently, leaving no spot dry, nor any spot brown on the white tile floor. When she was done she turned to Heero. He had finished putting everything away a few minutes ago and was sitting on the counter watching her.
"Done?" he asked.
"Almost." She said, raising the stream of cold water to him. As the blast of cold water soaked his shirt he jumped off the counter and headed toward her in an attempt to get the sprayer from her. She moved away from him but he caught her hand anyway. They both laughed as he tried to get the object from her grasp, and in doing so he was getting both of them wet.
With much struggle, he got the sprayer from her and she put her hands in front of her face to protect it from the water she expected to hit her. Instead, warm arms encircled her waist. She opened her eyes to find Heero holding her closely, looking down at her. The sprayer had been returned to its home and Heero was smiling playfully down at her. She smiled back and he leaned down and kissed her. Relena wrapped her arms around his neck and walked forward, making him walk backward. Finally, Heero's back came in contact with the counter and he could move back no more. The kiss was only growing more passionate as Heero slid up onto the counter so that he was sitting on it. Relena pushed him down so that he was lying on it, breaking the kiss. He looked at he lovingly, and she climbed onto the counter, so that she was lying comfortably on his chest. The cold water made his shirt stick to him like a second skin and Relena felt his body shiver under her own as it sought warmth. She moved so that her head was right above his and looked down at him.
"Now I have you right where I want you." She said coyly. Heero smiled and lifted his head, trying to initiate another kiss. She pulled her head away and put pressure on his shoulders, making him unable to move upward. He made a face at her of mock hurt and she smiled. "Now Heero, what would your sister think of you now?" she said in a mocking sarcastic voice.
Heero pulled his arms out from under hers, catching her by surprise, but holding her so that she wouldn't fall. Using his arms he pushed he toward him and himself toward her. "I don't care." He said softly as his lips got so close to hers that she could feel them tickling her own lips.
::End Flashback::
"And then we kissed again. Only to be interrupted by the doorbell."
"No wonder you had such a good night, when are you seeing him again?" Hilde asked, a huge grin plastered on her face.
"Soon, I hope." She said in a tone of excitement and anticipation.
"That sucks that you two were interrupted though." She commented. Relena's smile didn't falter.
"That just leaves me something to look forward to next visit."
"Hey Heero." Relena said to Heero a few minutes later. Having finished her conversation with Hilde she was eager to talk to him again.
"Hey." He replied, smiling. "That didn't take you as long as I thought."
"No, I was in a rush, I really wanted to talk to you." Relena replied.
"What's so urgent?"
"Um, well…" she started.
"What?" he asked again, more impatient this time.
"You see, well…" she sighed, "Will you be my date to a banquet in three days?"
She closed her eyes tightly, she couldn't see him, but it was her first reaction. She was expecting him to say that Liz wouldn't allow him to, or that he detested social engagements such as those.
"Sure, I'd love to."
"You would?" she asked in shock.
((A/N: I know, kind of short, but I wanted to end it there. Anyway, I hope that description of the kitchen scene was to your liking. Guess what time it is REVIEW! Yeah, I know I'm corney. Just tell me what you think, and I'll keep writing. Have a lovely day.))

Relena entered the house in silence, in fact, she hadn't said a word since entering the limo back at Heero's house. Milliardo watched her intently from his perch on the stair's railing.
