The Confusion of love

Chapter 7
Relena looked around her throne room, 'bored, bored, bored, bored!' "I hate paperwork!" she suddenly yelled. Her cheeks flushed when all of the servants in the room looked at her funny. "What are you looking at?!"
"Nothing, your highness." one of the spoke up stepping forward. "We meant no harm."
"Sorry, it's my fault. I'm just tired and need a break." Relena said sighing. "But when am I gonna get one, I haven't been to the beach in over a month and...and my skin is pale." 'hardly a way for the princess of Earth to look.' she added pouting.
"Then why don't you take one?" she asked smiling. "It can do you good." she stated as she sat down in a chair infront of the desk.
"I guess, but who am I gonna get to fill in for me while I'm gone?" Relena added looking out he window. 'the warm beach, the cool water, and Heero. My perfect day off.' she smiled blissfully. 'It's been a while since I have seen him, maybe Lina's right.'
"We'll be fine." her servent insisted. 'poor girl dreaming about some guy.' "We can manage. You have a cell phone right?" she added smiling.
"Ya, sure. What's that got to do with anything?" Relena asked as she flittled with one of her paperclips.
"If anything comes up that we can't handle, which will probably never happen since the temporary armistas. And what would you do if anything came up here?"
"I'd call them up." The princess said smiling.
"Exactly. So you have no excuse to stay here. What would you do even if you stay here?" The girl got up to leave
"I guess, but Lina."
"Yes, Relena?" the girl answered, as she tucked some of her lose hair behind her ear.
"I want you to come with me."
"But Relena!" the girl objected. "What about your house? Who's gonna watch after that?"
"It'll be fine Lina, you said so yourself."
"I was talking about with me to look after things."
"Come on Lina, your more than just a servent, your my best friend. I talk you about Heero don't I?" Relena said as she smiled a smile like a little kid has once he found out her outsmarted his parents.
"Yes you do." Lina added realizing it was a losing battle.
"So pack your bags we're leaving tomorrow."
"Tomorrow isn't that a little soon. I mean, I haven't even made plans yet."
"Do you make plans for yourself when you want to do things?"
"No but I'm just a servent Relena. You're a princess. You have more things to worry about."
"And enough money to pay people to worry for me. Now go." Relena said smiling. 'Heero ready or not here I come.'
"You're late for work!" A 20-year-old girl yelled at Makoto as she ran in the door.
"Sorry, Kinal. I really am. Sorry got home from the concert late and slept in." Makoto answered apologizing.
"That's okay Makoto." her boss chimed in. "It's only once and you are always a hard worker."
"Thank you, Mr. Shutlie." Makoto said bowing as her mid30's boss left. "that was sure close." she muttered to Kinal.
"Yeah it was." she answered "I had to serve everyone here all by myself. So you own me one."
"Sure, ok course. I'll do some while you rest okay?"
"That you Mako-chan." Kinal answered smiling. "I'm gonna enjoy this break. So why were you late? You're always early and help Mr. Shutlie open up. We were worried about you. Did something happen at the concert? Were you robbed? Did some guy 'touch' you?"
"Kinal!" The girl snapped embarrassed. 'You fear for the worse always don't you?' "Nothing like that happened Kinal I swear."
"Than what did happen? You got asked backstage after the show? You know I'm still mad at you for not inviting me."
"No, Kinal I didn't get asked backstage. But I met someone at the show..."
"Some guy touched you right? I knew it."
"Kinal! I already answered that question. No, he didn't. He was quite friendly though. He acted like he knew me or something." she shook her head. "His name was Trowa and he was there with his friend, Quatra."
"Was he cute?" Kinal interrupted again.
"Kinal I didn't check him out okay."
"Mako! You looked at him right. You guys had a conversation. Was he cute?" she persisted. "I worry about you. Not checking out guys."
"He wasn't that bad looking. He had brown hair that half covered his face." 'Wasn't a Heero though...Wait a second! He's Heero's friend right? Don't compare him to Heero!' she instructed herself.
"To bad he was gay though right."
"I never said he was gay!" Mako snapped.
"He was with his 'friend' right? Quatra doesn't seem like a girl's name though. I could be wrong right?"
"Yes, Quatra was a guy. But they were just friends okay?"
"Fine, continue." Kinal said. "But you can't say I wasn't right."
"Whatever. Anyway. He obviously knew Heero, because there would be no way Heero would ever openly say anything to anyone that he just met." Mako said softly.
"I take it this Heero guy is pretty shy." Kinal said sighing. 'they're my favorite type of guy.'
"Not really, he just... doesn't... he's had a bad past." Mako finally concluded. 'No that's not right, how exactly can I explain this to Kinal?' Mako sighed. She knew that it was a losing battle. She would have to tell her sometime or another, Kinal just wasn't the type of girl who you could keep secrets from.
"Sure." Kinal said in a tone that said she didn't really believe Mako.
"Kinal! It's kinda hard to explain okay?"
"Oh, one of those types of guys, mysterious past or something. Like stealing or something."
"Kinal! Heero never stole anything." /complete lie there sweety./ her conscious reminded her.
"Okay. Then just tell me!" Kinal yelled impatiently.
"Kinal! This isn't the time for chitchat okay!?" Mr. Shultie yelled out of his office.
"Busted." Kinal muttered.
"I heard that." He boss yelled back laughing.
