Chapter 6

I'm here…I'm here waiting…for…for what?  I'm here waiting for you…for you to…return to my side…You will always…always be able to find me…here.  I promise…with all my heart.

Right after school finished on Friday, Relena met Heero at the parking lot.  He offered to drive her to and back in his black BMW.  She accepted the offer.  On the way to Heero's house, Relena felt so nervous.  They finally arrived.  A whole wave of memories came rushing to her. 

"This is it." Heero said as he opened the door of his car for Relena. 

"Hasn't changed a bit, has it." She replied softly.

"Nope.  Come on, let's get going."

Heero led Relena to the front door.  His butler greeted them.

"Welcome home, sir and Miss…Miss Relena." His butler said.

"It has been some time hasn't it, Simpson." Relena replied warmly.

The butler nodded.

"Is my father home?" Heero asked Simpson.

"No, Master is not home."

"Alright.  Here, let's go to the library."

Relena nodded and started to follow him. 

"Sir, would you like some refreshment?" Simpson asked.

"Yes, I would appreciate that.  It can be brought to the library." Heero replied. 

Then the two went off to the library.

Heero and Relena have already surveyed most of the people they needed for their report that afternoon.  They just had to make a few more phone calls.   After they were done their surveying, they started discussing about the report.  By the time Relena had to leave, they had already planned out their whole report. 

It was a quiet drive back to campus.  Finally they had arrived.  Heero opened the door for Relena. 

"I guess I'll see you on Monday." He said.

"Yes, I'll see you in class…" She looked into his eyes.  She could not tell what he was feeling.   Then Relena started to go off to her dorm room, but she turned back.

"Heero?" She said.

"Yes?"

"Thanks for the ride."

"Your welcome.  It's my pleasure."  He gave a small smile, got into his car and drove away.

Relena slowly walked to her dorm room.

**"Wow!  Your house is so big.  I never knew your family was so wealthy." The girl said in awe.

"I don't show off my wealth like some people do!" The boy said teasingly.

"Hey!  Are you talking about me?" She said chasing him.

"NO!  How did you get that idea?"

"Your tone gave you away!"

"No…I would never dare to say such things to a pretty girl like you!" He suddenly turned around and grabbed her around the waist.  Then he gave her a peck on the cheek.

She blushed.

"Don't do that…someone may see!" She whispered.

"Who cares?  I want the whole world to know that I'm with the most prettiest girl and she's mine."

"Says who?"

"Says me."

She giggled as he grabbed her hand and led her to the door of his mansion. **

Heero was thinking during his drive back home.  He could still remember all the different emotions swirling in those aquamarine eyes when he looked into them.  He does not know why he cares.  Or maybe…he does.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning.  Relena was on the train back home.  Her brother insisted for her to come back home on most of the weekends.  She was glad to be able to see her friends and family again. 

At the train station, her brother, Noin and Hilde were waiting for her.  There were a lot of hugs and kisses when she got off the train.  She had asked Hilde to sleep over that night.  She looked at her house.  It held many wonderful memories…all the sad ones were left behind…

When they got home, Relena and Hilde went straight to Relena's room to catch up on some girl talk. 

"So, Relena.  How was your first week at the University?" Hilde asked.

"It was…fine." She replied, her eyes tracing the pattern on her carpet.

Hilde looked into Relena's eyes.

"Is something bothering you?  Relena you can tell me!  I'm your best friend." Hilde said with concern.

"I know that Hilde.  It's just that…it was all fine…until I ran into him." Relena replied with a tinge of sadness in her voice.

"Him…you mean your ex?"

"Yes…"

"So?"

"I don't know…"

"You still like him, don't you?  That's why you turned down every offer Quatre made to go out on a date."

"…"

"Gosh, it's been so long…but if you really still like him, you should go for it!"

"I can't."

"What do you mean you can't?  It's the new era, girl!  There's no rule implying that it has to be the guy asking the girl out…unless you don't know if he likes you back.  That's it isn't it.  You're afraid of rejection."

"No, it's not that."

"Then what is it?"

"He already has a girlfriend."
