"Jenny," Vincent (or whatever his name was) called to a maid, "Bring them out!"
The woman brought out a silver platter with a long envelope, a large box, and a long velvet case. The maid set the platter down in front of them on a glass coffee table in front of them. Vincent first handed the envelope to Relena.
"What is this?" she asked him sweetly, opening it. Her eyes went wide. "Oh my God! 1000-dollar-shopping-spree at the mall of my choice! Day at the spa and makeover included! Thank you! So much!" she threw her arms around him.
"Wait a minute," he said, getting the velvet case and laying it in her hands. She opened it. All emotion drained from her face. She held up a diamond tennis bracelet.
"Is it real?" she whispered.
"Of course, nothing but the best for the woman I love." He bragged to her. He handed her the box. She opened it and pulled out a teddy bear. A very fine and expensive teddy bear. Heero's hot boiled to the point of exploding.
"I thought it was time to replace that old cheap thing Heero Bear your friend got you and didn't even say that he loved you as much as you say he did."
Relena didn't show that she was hurt by this. Oh my God, Heero thought, is that what this guy is all about? Making me look bad cause I didn't tell Relena I loved her? I love you, Relena. Get away from that rich bitch. Relena smiled at him.
" Thank you, Darling," she said gratefully. She kissed him, and he made a big deal of it, wrapping himself around her. Heero's boiling heart broke into a million pieces. He should have told Relena he loved her, and loved her so, so much. He gave up all hope and walked away.
