Part 2

After their reading time was over, they said their good byes and parted ways. Relena took her time getting back to her grandfather's; she really didn't want her time with Heero to end. When Relena stopped in the doorway, maids took her purse and a servant brought out her dinner. She decided to go ahead and start. When she finished, Péggin approached her with a telephone message.
"Miss Relena," he said, "Mr. Bangotti called you twice. He said he loves you, call him back, and come visit him tomorrow."
Relena's great 'been with Heero' feeling vanished. Vincent Bangotti. The name made her heart ache. Vincent Bangotti, a handsome, independently wealthy son of a billionaire tycoon, and her boyfriend. They had gotten together shortly after the fall of OZ. To make matters worse, Relena and Vincent had planned to have lunch the next day-and Relena had just made plans with Heero. Now what was she going to do?
On his way home, Heero passed a newsstand. One of the papers, Colonial Times jumped at Heero with a joyful line: VICE FOREIGN MINISTER DARLIAN/ ABASSATOR PEACECRAFT TURNS 17! Heero's eye's bugged out. He had forgotten Relena's birthday! After reading that her birthday was the day after tomorrow, he ran home as fast as he could.
When he arrived, he immediately babbled to his friends about Relena in the park, her birthday, and a possibility of a party. Heero tried to sleep, but all he could think about was seeing Relena.
The next morning, Relena got up and dressed. Péggin drove her to Vincent's. Relena felt pretty low about leaving Heero, but she hadn't seen Vincent in quite a while either. She sighed as they passed by the park.
Heero sighed at the park. He looked up just in time to see Relena's car (with Relena in it) stop at a traffic light, then keep going-right past the park.
"What the." Heero muttered to himself. "Where is she going?" he jumped up and ran after the car.
He had to run less than a mile. The car stopped at a huge mansion. Heero huffed and puffed a little and caught his breath. A neat hedge surrounded the huge house. Relena got out of the car and rang the bell. The two double doors opened. An 18- year old boy answered it.
"Darling!" he exclaimed with a voice that would rival Robin Leech's, "So happy to see you!" he hugged her and kissed her cheek, "Come in, Come in!" Heero's heart boiled. Who was this guy? He hopped over the hedge (barely missing an electric fence) and made his way to an open window. He could hear them talking. They came into the living room and sat down on a very expensive couch, right in Heero's face. Heero watched Relena's every move—and that jerk's too.
