Anything for the one you love
CHAPTER THREE
I was about to reach the house when a couple of strong arms stopped me. They turned me around and I found myself looking up to Heero.
"Let me go…Please Heero…"
"No. Relena, I don't know why you think the way you do now but I can assure you that no one will be able to make you as happy as I will. I love you Relena, and I know you love me too…"
"Heero…"
"No. Please let me finish…I have been a fool for not realising that you weren't going to wait for me forever. I went away and I made a big mistake. But I just needed time to think about what I felt. I needed time to figure out if I would be right for you. The answer to that is yes. I think that what I feel for you is right. That it won't hurt any of us. Please just give me a chance to proof you that I can make you happy…Please. Relena we belong together…"
"Oh Heero…"
I just couldn't speak. He sounded so honest. And the scary thing is that what he had just said sounded so right to me. He was right. We did belong to one another. But then there was Quatre. I also thought that Quatre and I were a fantastic team…But Heero…I've always loved Heero…from the very start. It was a first sight thing. With Quatre was different… Oh sweet Lord help me…
She was just staring at me. I could see her inner battle. So I did have a chance. Maybe if I talked to her some more I would convince her…
"Relena, I know that I haven't been the most reliable guy on earth to you, but that is going to change. I will always be there for you if you need me. This time we will do things your way…"
"Heero…I…"
No really knowing the reason, I pushed her against the outer wall of the house, lifted her face placing my fingers underneath her chin so that she would look at me.
"Relena. Tell me that you don't love me. Tell me you will never love me again and that will convince me that you belong to Quatre…"
She tried to lower her head as to avoid looking at me. I was winning this battle. I could feel it.
"I can't…"
"You can't what? If you love Quatre so much as to marry him, it shouldn't be hard to tell me you don't love me…"
"But…I do…I love you Heero"
I said those words with a very small voice. I did. I did love Heero with all my soul. How could he ask me to tell him I didn't love him? How could I tell him such a lie?
I couldn't believe it. She did love me. I lowered my head to hers and I kissed her again. After a few seconds she put her arms around my neck and started kissing me back. I felt such joy inside me. She loved me. She was kissing me back. I thought that now, everything was going to be alright now. Relena was mine again.
I was kissing him. I was kissing Heero. The half that wanted to be with him was enjoying this so much while the other half was not happy at all. I tried to ignore that other half. Somewhere inside me, deep down, knew that I was doing the wrong thing. But, hell, it just felt so right. I guess this was what people meant when they said the right kind of wrong.
He was kissing her. So I was late. Too late. When the bodyguard had called me, telling me that Relena had been kidnapped I almost died of fear. I thought: Not again! Thank God the bodyguard had got the registration number plate. With that information it had been a piece of cake finding out that it was Heero's car. I almost had to beat the hell out of Duo trying to get the right information, thank God that Duo never minded his own business and had overheard Heero arranging the rent of this place. It had been difficult though. None of the guys wanted to take sides so here I was, confronting Heero all by myself. I felt myself dying when I found them kissing. He was kissing my angel. MY angel. She was my fiancée. Had I lost her? Had he managed to convince her to go back to him? I had so many questions in my head that I felt it would explode… I just managed to shout…
"GET YOUR UGLY HANDS OFF HER YOU BASTARD!!!"
I stopped kissing him immediately. I looked over Heero's shoulder and I saw the very last person I thought I would ever see here.
"Quatre…"
I didn't have time to even start talking when I saw Quatre walking up to Heero. Quatre had an assassin look on his eyes. I had never seen him with such a look. Heero, was keeping it cool. He had adopted his stone-hard face that had made him so famous. He was back in Perfect Soldier's mood.
I was going to beat the hell out of him. I swear this time I would kill Heero. No way he was going to get away with this. How could he had done something so low…
Quatre was walking up to me. I knew that he was incredibly mad at me. But again he had every reason. I did, and in fact, I had felt the same when I learnt about Relena and him. I prepared myself for a good fight. I had probably done the wrong thing kidnapping Relena and all but, at the end of the day, everything was legal when it came to love and war. And if Quatre wanted war, he would have war.
As soon as I got to him I punched him really hard on the face. Of course, I wasn't expecting him to fall or anything. This was Heero. It would take me a lot more effort to beat him. I was about to punch him again when Heero punched me back. That made me fall. I felt the left side of my face explode and then I lost balance and I fell backwards.
I could see them fighting. That was the very last thing I wanted. I saw Heero punching Quatre back and then I saw Quatre falling backwards. I thought that I was screaming but I realised that no sound was actually coming out my throat. It was like it refused to make any sound. Then I saw, like in slow motion, Quatre hitting the ground. He didn't get up immediately. That scared me and I run towards him. I saw that he had hit his head against a rock in the ground. That had nearly knocked him out. I tried to lift him up putting one of my arms around his neck and the other one holding him against me.
"Quatre…Darling, talk to me…"
Darling? She was calling him 'Darling'. What about me? I saw her turning to face me.
"Heero, what do you think you're doing?" she asked me, probably feeling too incredulous to get mad at me.
"He punched me first…" I said childishly.
"And I will punch you again, you bastard!" Quatre shouted angrily.
With this Quatre got up and went charging against Heero tackling him to the ground, then they started throwing punches at each other. In the process, unintentionally, Quatre had pushed me and I had fallen on the ground. This was enough. They both knew how much I hated violence… I got up and run towards Quatre's car. I looked inside and I saw that the keys were still there. I slid inside the car and started the engine.
The sound of my car's engine being started stopped me. I felt another punch from Heero on my face but then Heero also stopped beating me up. We both looked at each other and then we simultaneously got up and shouted at the same time…
"RELENA!!!"
I heard them both shouting my name. I just didn't care. I just wanted to get away from both. I desperately needed some time by myself.
I saw Relena going away in Quatre's car.
"When on earth did she learn to drive anyway??"
"I made her take driving lessons. She still does not have the driving license but she's doing pretty well…"
We looked at each other again. What on earth were we talking about. Relena was going away with my car and we were worrying about her driving skills!
"We have to follow her…"
"I'm not getting in a car with you…"
"Well you have no choice since she has taken yours…it's either you get in my car or you stay here…To be honest I would prefer the second option…"
Gosh. Tough decision. I really wanted to follow her but, I would gladly have a dentist removing my four wisdom teeth rather than being in the same car with Heero. But Relena was more important so I said:
"Ok. Let's go…"
To be continued...
REPLIES TO MY WONDERFUL REVIEWERS:
I'm very impressed by the number of review this little story has got. What can I say: HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE!! Love you guys!
I'm taking in consideration your opinions, so Relena's final choice will be partly based in what you guys think.
Special comment for Tumbleweed: thanks for your advise. I have changed Quatre's paragraph. You were right: he met her at the Cinq Kingdom! Sorry! I know that a good writer should always do a good research before writing anything…what can I say…MY FAULT! Also, regarding the length of the paragraphs, as you can see the rest of the chapters will have a normal structure. It was only for chapter one that I needed those three paragraphs to introduce the story. I hope that it's more readable now!
Stay tuned for chapter four coming up soon!
