.: chapter 7: Sorry

People and cars passed by them in the night. The traffic light was still shining red, the occupants in the car minus one, were getting more irritated at the fact that the red light was taking too long to turn green.

" What the f*ck is wrong with that light?!" Duo screamed. He was looking up and glaring at the traffic light hanging up in the air.

Heero just ignored the ranting of his comrade, and just looked out the car window. He didn't know how he was dragged into this, but he did know that he didn't struggle hard enough to go against their wishes.

He felt the car jolt forward, speeding. Duo muttering "Finally" and a couple of relieved sighs greeted his ears.

" Where is that club again?" Duo asked.

Heero heard Trowa, who was right beside him answer. He felt the car take a sharp turn to the right and he saw a glimpse of the bright sign of the Club their girlfriends were at. Heero felt something stir in the pit of his stomach when an image of Serena with some guy having fun on the dance floor, popped in his head. Heero glared at the thought and the instant the car parked he immediately opened the door and got out.

' No one will touch my Serena without my app-' Heero stopped in mid thought when his words finally registered. He glared at himself and abruptly stopped, having Duo bump into him from behind.

" Yo Heero whats wrong?!" Duo asked from his spot on the ground," You don't just stop in front of someone without giving a warning,"

" Hn…" Heero answered, ' What the hell am I thinking? Serena isn't mine, she is free to be with anyone she wants,' he thought as he turned around, heading towards the car.

" Where are you going Yuy?" Wufei called out.

" I'm going home," Heero answered.

" Aren't you going to check on Serena?" Duo asked.

" She is not my responsibility," Heero answered, he was about to take hold of the handle of the car door when he remembered this was Duo's BMW.

" Well she is your roommate, aren't you the least bit worried about her safety?" Quatre questioned.

" Safety," Heero whispered.

" Yeah buddy, that's the reason you came with us remember?" Duo stated. Heero glared at him. He knew perfectly well that he was interrupted in his dorm with a series of demanding knocks, and when he answered it, he was grabbed by the hands of Duo and dragged down the hall.

" Hn.." Heero answered. He paused for a minute from his spot. ' Was that the reason why I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach?… Cause I'm worried about her?…'

" Come on Yuy! We have our own girlfriends to go after," Wufei exclaimed.

" Tell us your decision, so we may go," came Trowa's urgent voice.

Heero looked at the car and then at the club. ' She is my roommate,' He thought. Nodding his head to his friends he went walked towards them and lined up.

*~*

Serena looked around the busy club. The music was blaring, bodies moving to the beats everywhere. The lights were dim and some were displaying different patters of color towards the dance floor and the walls.

She was supposed to be one the dance floor, dancing with the guys and her friends. She was supposed to be talking to some guy whose eyes and interest she had caught, and be drinking with them. Though none of those were happening. She was sitting on table that her friends and herself had chosen.

She was the only one occupying the table at the moment. Her friends had left her there for they were either out dancing, or having a little chat with some guy. They had insisted for her to join them and the guys friends. But she had denied it.

' Why the hell did I even come here if I wasn't going to have fun?' Serena thought as she rested her chin on her hands. Her elbows propped up by the black circular table. She looked around and she caught glimpses of Mina and Lita dancing with two cute guys, and glancing over at the bar, she saw Amie and Rae talking to two cute guys as well. Drinking with them.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned her head over. A guy with brown eyes and chocolate colored hair greeted her. She noticed the glimmer of lust behind the eyes and by the looks of how he was looking at her, and how he looked. She knew he was trouble.

" What are you doing here alone?" She heard the man speak in her ear. She felt a chill crawl up her spine as the guys breath bathed her ear.

Serena stole a glance at the guy in the eye and looked away, not being able to stomach the suggestive look. " I'm not here alone…"

" Oh so who are you with?" the man asked, taking a seat beside her. A little too close.

Serena shifted a little aside and looked around. Trying to think of something to say to the guy to get him to leave her alone.

" Um… I'm-" Serena didn't get to finish her sentence when she felt the guys finger on her lips.

" I know you aint here waiting for anyone, so come on and have a drink," the guy said, offering her the drink he had in his hand.

Serena looked at it and then looked at the man: " No thanks… I'm not thirsty,"

She felt a hand rubbing the left of her thighs, Serena tried to move away but the hand gripped on it tight.

" So lets dance," the man said, grabbing hold of her hips and pulling her off her seat.

" NO!!" Serena exclaimed, grabbing hold of the arm of her chair, with one hand while the other tried to pry the hands of her.

" Then lets go outside," the man had started to pull on her again.

" I said no!" Serena protested.

" Come on," the guy insisted. Serena tried to look for her friends and catch their eyes, but they had disappeared from her sight.

Serena settled on prying the hand that he held her with on her arm. But the grip just tightened some more. She let out a little cry that was muted by the blasting music.

Serena felt the grip on her hand loosen and she looked up and saw another hand grabbing on to the hand of the man that had gripped onto her. Looking up at the man who had grabbed her, and with the look on his face, she noticed that the guy was in pain because of the death grip her rescuer has on him.

" She said no," the familiar voice rang in her ears.

Serena's eyebrows narrowed in question and looked over at her rescuer. " Heero?" she whispered in surprise.

" She's my girlfriend!" The man exclaimed. The man let out a cry of pain when Heero's grip tightened some more.

" She's mine," She heard Heero answer.

Hearing what he had said made her heart stop, then all of a sudden she felt herself boil, and she could feel the blood rushing to her face.

" Huh?"

Serena looked at the man and saw him look at her.

"…. Your not Jasmine…" the man had said in surprise. He then looked back at Heero," Sorry about that guy, I thought she was my Jasmine,"

" Hn…" Heero let go of the guys hand and pushed him aside.

Serena watched the man walk away with a frightened expression. ' Bastard,' Serena thought. She felt a hand on the small of her back, and she looked up and saw Heero looking at her.

" Are you okay?" he asked.

She stared at him and looked down," Yeah…"

He led her towards the table she had occupied and she sat down on her chair, while Heero sat on the chair beside her.

*~*

Heero took hold of the arm the guy held on to, and looked for any bruises.

" Does it hurt?" He asked. He noticed Serena hadn't answered and looked up at her. She wasn't looking at him, and noticed that she probably didn't hear him.

Leaning forward he had his mouth just a couple of centimeters away from her ear and whispered: " Does you arm hurt?"

He felt Serena's hand tense and looked at her questioningly. Serena turned her gaze towards him and shook her head no, her head tilted down a bit.

He took hold of her chin and raised it up with his hooked finger so she wouldn't be looked down anymore and whispered: " Always keep your head up,"

" ….Okay…" he heard Serena whisper back in his ear. He felt his ear tingle when her breathe landed upon it.

He backed away from her, the sensation her breath and voice had left in her ear still lingering on it. He looked around and grew quiet, trying to control the feeling that was boiling up in her stomach.

He felt something tug his hand and he looked down, noticing he still has not let go of Serena's hand. Letting go of her hand he looked up at her and smiled a little in apology. Looking back at the dance floor he went back into his thoughts.

*~*

Serena held her right hand with her left, she still felt the warmth of Heero's hand on it. She looked up at him and she felt a shiver come through her. It wasn't like the shiver she got from the guy that had tried to take her away, the shiver she was feeling was something pleasurable.

' I had been so mean to him… And for a reason that he had no control over…' Serena thought and looked down at the table in shame.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up at him.

" Are you okay?" he asked in her ear.

Serena bit her lip, trying to stop the whimper from escaping. She nodded and felt him back away.

Looking at Heero, she made a decision. Grabbing hold of his sleeve he tugged at it and waited for him to look at her.

She signaled for him to come a little closer and whispered in hi ear: " Heero… Thank you, for helping me out back there."

" No problem," Heero answered back.

" And I'm sorry for being a little mean to you lately," Serena answered.

" A little? I was given the scariest glare I've ever seen from such a nice person. I thought I was evil!" Heero answered, his voice going low and a little high.

She looked at him quizzically: " Whoa… what's with the change?"

Heero looked at her, his expression changing back to its norm: " I guess being scared does that to people."

" Hm…" Serena answered. She was about to back away and leave Heero alone in his thoughts when a thought pop up in her head: " How come you're here?"

Heero looked at her for a minute before answering," The guys were worried about their girlfriends,"

" What abo-" Serena held her tongue, when she looked at him. " Nevermind,"

" What about me?" Heero asked. Serena stiffened a little," I came for you."

Serena flushed at his answer. But at the thought of Relena she sighed in disappointment. ' But then again, at least he feels a little for me,' she thought.

" You wanna dance?" She heard him whisper in her ear. Serena again felt the pleasing shiver come up her spine.

She looked over at him and nodded. Heero took her hand and pulled her close to him, and whispered: " I don't know why you were angry at me, but I'm glad you've forgiven,"

" I'm the one who-" Serena was cut off when he started speaking again.

" I was the reason though," Heero answered. He then took hold of her hand and led her towards the dance floor, Heero being a couple of steps ahead of her.

" No you weren't" she whispered.
