Chapter 5

            "Relena…is that you?" said a voice from behind the group.

            Relena slowly turned around, remembering whose voice that was and she wasn't very happy to hear it again after at least a few years.  She looked up into dark brown eyes with light brown hair falling into them, making him look like a mysterious handsome stranger, but Relena knew better and put on a fake smile.

            "Hello, Mr. Lese," Relena said, being as formal and political as possible.

            "Relena, you know that you can call me, Chris.  Mr. Lese sounds so…so…"

            "What are you doing here, Mr. Lese?" Relena asked, not dropping her sarcasm as she said the name.

            "I'm here for lunch, would you care to join me?" Chris asked, smiling charmingly at her.

            "No, Chris.  I'm here with my friends…so if you'll excuse me," Relena said, but was held in place by Chris' hand holding onto hers.

            "Please Relena, for old times sake," Chris said as he started to pull her away from where her friends and Heero were already sitting at.

            "Let me go, Mr. Lese," Relena said, glaring at him.

            "Come on, Relena!  Don't be so…"

            "She said to let go, now let her go," said a voice from behind Relena.

            "Yuy, I don't need your help," Relena said as she tried to turn, but ended up making Chris hold on tighter to her hand.

            "Why, I don't think we've met before, sir.  My name is Christopher Lese, but you may call me Chris, Mr. Yuy," Chris said, giving him a smile.

            Heero didn't reply, but he glared at the man standing in front of him, seeing as how Relena's hand was loosing some color and how Relena was trying not to wince.

            "Mr. Yuy, I was just telling Relena here that…"

            "And I already told you that I don't want to," Relena said, glaring at the man and wondering how much longer Heero was going to let this go on.

            "But Relena…"

            Heero glared at the man and walked up to where Chris' hand was holding on to Relena's hand.  He clamped down his hand on top of Chris' wrist, applying some pressure to get his point across to the man.  Chris looked up at Heero and glared at him, but quickly let go when he heard his wrist starting to pop.

            "We shall meet again Relena and…Mr. Yuy," Chris said as he smiled charmingly again at Relena and glared at Heero as he left.

            "Um…thanks," Relena said as she rubbed her hand to get back some feeling into it.

            "Hn," Heero said as he waited for her to walk back to her seat with the others.

            "Duo, I need you to do me a favor," Heero said as he sat down at his desk, typing away on his computer.

            "Sure thing, buddy," Duo said, looking at the vid screen in front of him.

            "I need you to check up on this guy named Christopher Lese.  I've got a bad feeling about him and Relena seems to dislike him for some reason," Heero said, stopping to type to look at Duo.

            "Alright then, buddy.  I'll see if I can get you the information before you all leave," Duo said, turning off the vid phone.

            'Why does that man look familiar…I'm sure that I've seen him somewhere before,' Heero said as he continued on with his typing, waiting for Relena to come and get him so they could leave for the day.

            "Mr. Yuy, Ms. Relena is here," Heero's secretary said.

            "…"

            "I'll send her in."

            The door slowly opened and Relena stepped inside, looking at how simple his office looked compared to hers.  His desk had some papers and folders along with a computer, but hers was stacked with papers and folders that it took a few seconds to find out where the mouse and keyboard were at.

            'Maybe…maybe I shouldn't be so harsh with him.  He's just doing his job,' Relena thought as she sat down on one of the chairs in front of the desk.

            Relena took the chance to really look at him.  She saw that his persian blue eyes were cold, but she saw something in them that told her otherwise.  She smiled softly as she looked up at his dark brown unruly hair and how his bangs fell over his eyes, making him a mysterious one, but his well-defined features made him look handsome.

"Heero…um…are you…"

            "Lets go," Heero said as he shut off his computer, grabbed his Preventer's jacket and waited for Relena to get up from her seat and walk towards the door.

            Relena quietly got up and walked up to the door, stopping to look up at his eyes one last time and walked out of the door, waiting for Heero to lock up.

            They quietly made their way to Relena's limo, which was outside already and waiting for them, and got in.  Neither looked at each other for sometime until Relena broke the silence, knowing that he was bound to ask about what happened earlier today.

            "Chris is…he used to be my boyfriend," Relena said as she continued to look out the window, but Heero turned around to look at her, listening.  "We went out on a few dates and everything was going fine between us until…I don't know when, but it just happened.  He started to be possessive of me…more than my brother…and started to show up everywhere I went.  He had made a copy of my schedule and break hours without my noticing and would even sometimes show up to the meetings with me, trying to run them his way when he didn't have any office at all," Relena said as she turned around to look at him.

            "…"

            "…Has my brother told you about the threats that I'm suppose to not know about?" Relena asked, looking at him.

            "…"

            "Yuy, please…just say something!" Relena said, his silence frustrating her.

            "…Yes, your brother has informed us of the threats that have been made.  Those threats are what canceled the meeting that you had today," Heero said, looking forwards, but looking at her from the corner of his eye.

            "I thought so," Relena said, sighing at what Heero had told her.

            "…"

            "Y…Heero, could you do me a favor?" Relena asked, looking at him, hoping that he would agree.

            "…"

            "I've noticed that you don't really talk that much to the others, but please…could you at least talk to me?" Relena asked as she turned her body, looking at him fully now.

            "…"

            "…Forget it then," Relena said, turning back around, sighing again.

            "…Very well then," Heero said as he looked forwards again.

            "Thank you…Heero," Relena said, smiling at him.
