Lady of the Night Shift

By starry comet

Heero looked at the house number on the apartment. Then he looked back at the white paper. "Um. This the right address." He went up to the door and knock on it twice. He waited outside to see if the door would open, hoping to see Relena at the door. When it open, Heero saw someone else. It was an elderly man dressed in a black suit and white riffle shirt under it. He had white hair and white mustache, no other color in sight. Heero wasn't sure if this is Relena's or not. He might as will say something or look stupid in front of the man.

"Hello sir. How may I help you?"

"Yeah. Is Relena Peacecraft here?"

"Why yes. Come in sir." The man opened the door more to let Heero in. Heero steeped into the apartment and took his hat off. He looked around the living room to see anything interesting. He saw a lot of antiques on the shelves and paintings on the wall from every culture.

"Damn."

The man turned around to face Heero as he took the boy's hat and coat. "Wait right here. I'll go get her." The elder left the living room and went upstairs. Heero stood around still looking at the antiques in the room. He picked up a tiny statue off the shelf. It was child looking upon an angel. He thought it was actually cute. Heero looked around the room again, seeing no space on the wall.

"The girl has a lot of crap than all five of us combined. I wonder if she knows anything about the…"

"Heero. I been waiting for you." Heero turned around and put the statue down back on the shelf. He saw Relena at the top of the staircase holding onto the rail. She wore a white blouse with big sheer riffles in the front, navy skirt with white strips going vertical, and a belt matching to it.

'For how long?' Heero thought. He loved the way Relena looked today to his eyes. She looked better than last night when they first met. Relena slowly came down the stairs.

"It's nice to see you again."

"You too." Relena grabbed gently the touch of his hand and smile at him. Pagan was still standing between the den and kitchen doorway.

"Do you want anything Miss Peacecraft?" he asked

"Give us two glasses of wine Pagan." The butler went into the kitchen to prepare the drinks.

"So Heero… what brings you here?" asked Relena as she meander to her antique collection.

"I'm here on a little investigation. I what to know if you know anything about Night Shift."

"Night Shift? I know that you told me that you were a detective, but after the top thief in Chicago? I don't how to put it to you." Relena sat in her navy red striped armchair. She sighed before she started to talk Heero.

"Well, the Night Shift has two million dollars stash in some warehouse as I heard. He was working for the preventers then ran off. Now he is working for someone else. There are two reasons why Night Shift runs in the darkness. One: He could rob better that way of course. Two: It is he's protector. It is impossible to catch him in his territory. You have no idea what he might do to you."

"I see."

That's all I know about the Night Shift." Pagan came in with the drinks. He sat the tray in the small table.

"Here you go Miss Peacecraft."

"Thank you Pagan." Relena went to the table and grabbed the two glasses from the tray. She gave a glass to Heero. "Here you go Heero."

Heero took the glass from her. "Thanks."

"You didn't come here for ant investigation, am I right?"

"Excuse me?" Heero said, almost, choking on his drink.

"You're because you wanted to know why I put that note in your coat pocket."

"Only one night we met and you already know me too well." Heero took a sip of his drink still looking Relena.

"Why did you do it?"

"I wanted to see you again from last night. I still can't get away from it… of how we just look into each other eyes like stars flickering in the night. Minutes didn't feel right to me at all as they passed by. They weren't doing their job. Talking and laughing with you was endless all night. I know you feel the same way. If you didn't, you wouldn't had come here in the first place Mr. Yuy."

Heero felt Relena's eyes go tense on him. He slowly pulled his glass away from his mouth. He saw Relena shaking at her arms. The glass of wine was moving like an earthquake was about to start.

"If you think that the information that I told you about the Night Shift was enough, it is only the beginning. All people around Chicago know that thief leaves without a trace in this lonely city. Be careful of what those people assigned you to. It can be a dangerous killing job."

Relena turned away and looked at her antique collection on the shelves. Heero didn't say a word about her replied. He knew that he was bad lying to people, that's why he never lie. Was Heero feeling love for her truly? Maybe Relena was right. It could have been the unbelievable warmth he saw in her. Still, he didn't know why Relena brought him here to her apartment.

Relena headed to the staircase still holding glass of wine, As she was climbing up the stairs, she turned around to see if Heero was planning to leave or stand there forever Relena knew that he had nothing else to do. Maybe she will give him something to do. "Mr. Yuy. Can you come up stairs with me please?"

Heero looked up and stared at her. He was surprise by her words… the way she said it. He didn't know what to do… what to say in front of her. In his mind, he had no clue what to do; but without his brain, he wanted to sweep her off her feet and rushed upstairs quickly. "Uh… sure."

Heero followed Relena up the stairs. He saw her turned the corner and walked down the halfway. Then, Relena walked into a room on the side left side of the hallway. As Heero came in, he looked around the room for a minute. It was like any ordinary bedroom to him: a dresser, a bed, a small desk table, a closet, an armchair, and a personal bathroom.

"Can I take your jacket?" Relena asked walking to bedpost.

"Yeah, Sure." Heero took his jacket off and handed it to her. Relena took the jacket and hanged it on a wire jacket hanger. She put it inside her closet. Relena walked over to her small table where a recorder player sat. She grabbed a record beside the player. She nicely placed it on the player and sat it to play. A melody started to play on the recorder player. Relena sat on the bed, grabbing the pole that was part of the music.

"Blue Nightingale. One of my favorite songs."

Heero stood in the middle of the room, listening to the song. Somehow, somewhere, he liked it. The melody drew him into an imagination he never dreamed of. His mind wasn't turned on at all. It wondered somewhere else. "Would you like to dance?"

Relena eyes opened up and stared at him. "What?"

"Would you like to dance Miss Peacecraft?" Heero put his right hand out in front of her. Relena stared at for a while didn't know what to do.

"Of course." She lied her left hand into Heero's hand. She lifted herself off her bed. She gently placed her left hand on Heero's shoulder. Heero placed his right hand on her back slowly. They quietly touched each hand. Relena laid her head on his shoulder. They can feel each other's body moving the sweet melody of the music.

"I tell why you choose this classic. It's very peaceful and it puts you in a mood you don't want to be in."

"Yes indeed. But sometimes it puts leaves you in that mood forever." Relena turned around and wrapped her arms around herself. She could feel Heero's hands slip down to her waist. One of the hands pulled the skirt up, brushing it against the legs. He smoothly touched her peachy skin, climbing inch by inch under her skirt.

Relena moved her left arm reaching to his wildly hair. She stoked it all over again and again. She felt Heero's fingertips on her chin. Relena turned her head and looked into his eyes. They were perfectly matched. Not moving, just glaring down at each other. "You're cold."

"I…I know." Heero lifted up her head, bending his head down to match his, and closed his eyes Relena raised herself on her on toes and her closed her eyes. Leaning forward to reach, they their lips touch the other. They parted the kiss quickly, seeing their faces red.

"Is that better?"

"Yes." Relena reach up for another kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Her tongue slid into his mouth and pulled Heero close to her. His hands went down to her waist. He started to unbuckle Relena's navy belt. Heero slowly removed it from the skirt. Relena unfasten his tie around his neck and threw it on the floor. Heero wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling down the zipper of the skirt. They Japanese nibble on bottom of Relena'a lip. "Do you want me?"

"I want you," Relena said between their kiss.

"Do you really want me?"

"Yes…umm… badly…" Heero lifted Relena up onto his and carried her over to the bed. He laid her gently on the mattress and laid on top her. Touching her golden hair, he looked her through her eyes.

"Good. 'Cause right now my sleeping beauty, I'm going to make you mine."
