Chapter 15

Wufei walked down the corridor that he and Trowa had used to get into Quatre's office in the first place. Wufei wasn't as mad as he had been in the office. He wasn't mad for himself. He was angry because Duo made such accusations about Sally. He had denied that he had any feelings for Sally other than professional. The truth was that he did have other feelings for his partner. Strong feelings.

Wufei shook his head. He had only just admitted these feelings to himself, he was not ready to admit it to Duo, who would bug him relentlessly. Wufei had in fact confessed his feeling to Trowa, in hopes that the young man would have some good advice on how to tell Sally. Instead, Wufei found out that Trowa had unexpressed feelings of his own. Although he was quite surprised when Trowa told him those feelings where for Quatre.

Wufei had a feeling that instead of going to the party or to bed, Trowa was telling Quatre how he felt. Wufei smirked. Normally he didn't approve of homosexual couples, but he just thought that Trowa and Quatre were made for each other. Wufei's thoughts then turned to the last two gundam pilots. Wufei didn't want to admit the possibility that they might be lovers but he had seen evidence that there could be something going on between them. One reason was that Duo always acted a bit more refined whenever Heero was around. He thought a minute before deciding that he would be ok with Heero and Duo going out. Duo needed someone who could restrain him.

Wufei got to the car that Sally was waiting in. He leaned forward to be able to look in the windows. There sat Sally her eyes closed, her lips, soft as they formed a small smile while moving slowly to the song that was playing on the radio. The sight was enough to take Wufei's breath away.

Wufei shook his head trying to collect himself before opening to passenger side door. Sally jumped when she heard the door open. Before she had recognized who was opening the door she had her gun out, aimed and cocked. When she did recognize Wufei, she smiled and put her gun away.

"If you wanted a new partner all you would have to do is talk to Lady Une and I'm sure she would reassign you. You don't have to kill me." Wufei said sliding into the seat.

"Attempting to be humerus, it's a nice change." Sally said smiling. "What happened in there? Where's Trowa?"

"As to what happened, we got a shock. Quatre and Duo were there, as the intelligence said. But someone was there that the intelligence didn't say." Wufei started to explain, Sally just looked confused. "Heero was also there."

"You're right about the intell. How is he?"

"Alright, I guess, I never really had the chance to ask. They came in with this other guy who really didn't like us talking to Quatre because we were gundam pilots."

"That is stupid. He's a gundam pilot too."

"Yeah but he didn't know that. He only knew that Duo, Trowa and Heero were pilots. Duo messed with his head for a while before he introduced me then Quatre as pilots. And he flipped out. He would not accept the fact that Quatre was a gundam pilot. Quatre got mad and called in his Maguancs to show him out. After that everything simmered down and. . . oh shit!!!"

" 'And . . oh shit'. OK. What is that supposed to mean?" Sally asked.

"Duo was going to tell Trowa and me what we had missed at the party and Quatre said that would come later. But I still don't know." Wufei said.

"Oh poor baby." Sally teased.

Wufei glared at her. "Anyway all three of them agreed to fight this new threat. Since it is so late Quatre had offered to put us up for the night, and then we catch the 11am shuttle to Earth. I was to come get you and explain the plan. After that we are able to do whatever we want." Wufei concluded.

"Alright. What about the car?"

"It will be fine where it is. We are going to be leaving fairly early if we want to get to the space port with anytime to spare."

"So what is there to do around here?" Sally questioned.

"Like I said, whatever. Quatre told us we could wander around or attend the party that is going on. And when we get tirade simply find a person on his staff tell them who we are and they'll show us to our rooms."

"So what are you going to do?" Sally wondered.

"I thin that I am just going to sit here and listen to the radio. You?" Wufei said.

"If you wouldn't mind, I would like to stay here too." Sally said cautiously.

"You can do what you want." Wufei said trying to sound impassive. Trying to sound like he didn't care if she stayed or not.

Sally thought that she had heard a not of happiness in Wufei's voice. Like he was happy that she had not decided to go to the party or do something else. But it was only there for a minute so she couldn't really tell for sure.

"Is there anything in particular that you would like to listen to?" Sally asked.

"Some country would be nice," replied Wufei.

(A.N. i don't know what kinda music Wufei would listen to so i chose country. if you have any problems with it to bad for you.)

"OK." Sally said as she reached for the tuning dile on the stereo system.

After a minute of searching Sally came across a country station and left it there. Then she and Wufei just sat there and listened to the songs roll on through the night. Each had their own thought to occupy them. Sally thought about the little change in Wufei's voice when she had said she would stay. Wufei on the other hand, thought about another time and another woman and found himself comparing the two. He found the woman from his past really pale in comparison to the woman that now sat at his side. Who's very nearness sent his blood and pulse rate racing.

The song on the radio changed. A few seconds into the intro had Wufei smiling. It was 'What do you say to that' by George Strait, his new favorite song. As the words began Wufei began singing as well. This startled Sally. She had never heard him hum before let alone sing. She looked her partner over as she let his smooth tenor voice wash over her. He had a slender frame, he also had very well toned muscles. But what can you expect after years of martial arts training and piloting a mobile suit for three years along the side.

"I never knew that you had such a beautiful voice," Sally said as the song ended.

"I don't sing much. Even less when there are others around." Wufei explained wit a small blush. (^_~)

"Then why did you sing that song if you don't like to sing around people?" Sally asked a little confused.

"I don't really know." Wufei said. "It seems that when ever that song comes on I can't do anything but sing. I just can't help myself."

"So it is your favorite song?" Sally asked wanting to know more about him.

"My new favorite. Another on I like now is 'The Impossible' by Joe Nicholas." Wufei said, wanting to open up a little to the woman he cared about.

"Why is it that you like those two songs so much?"

"Because I think that they explain who I am the best," was Wufei's simple reply.

"A love song and a song about how anything can happen best explain who you are?" Sally sounded doubtful.

"Maybe not explain who I am, but one aspect of my life." Wufei corrected.

"And which aspect would that be?" Sally asked as her breath caught in her throat.

"You have already answered that, Sally." Wufei said as he lowered his voice to a more seductive tone.

"Your love life." replied Sally as goosebumps broke out over her arms at the sound of his voice.

"That's right." Wufei whispered.

Wufei then leaned towards Sally who, in turn leaned towards Wufei, and kissed her hard. Both felt a flood of warmth sweep through their bodies. In the back ground they could vaguely hear 'When you say nothing at all' by Keith Whitely. The song played on and just after it was over, Sally and Wufei parted for air.

"I think that that last song should be added to my list of favorites." Sally said.

"Why is that?" Wufei wondered.

"Because it explains how I feel about you." Sally said smiling.

Wufei smiled back before he took Sally in his arms again and kissed her.
