Chapter Five: Embarrassment and the Crazy Assistant
This chapter written by: Saotoshi Hatsuma (herself).
Duo looked down on Heero who was fast asleep. He looks so peaceful, Duo thought. In his mind, he recapped the events of the past couple of hours. He couldn't believe how fast they'd moved from having lunch to.this.
As he thought about his Prussian-eyed beauty, the front door opened. The sound of the door closing woke him. Less than a minute later, his fear of who it was, was confirmed.
"Oh, Du-o! Honey, are you here?" Hilde's voice berated Duo's ears compared to the soft, smooth voice of Heero.
Carefully, so as not to wake Heero, Duo edged off the bed. Quickly, he dressed and went to the study door. Just as he opened it, Hilde arrived in front of him.
"There you are," she said, wrapping her arms about his neck and planting a soft kiss on the tip of his nose. "What're you doing? Work?"
"Uh, yeah," Duo said stepping forward and closing the door to the study behind him. He wanted to drop Hilde right there, but what if Heero awoke? Heero was soft-spoken and too much of a gentleman to retaliate should Hilde find out about them and take action. And Duo knew Hilde. She had a fierce temper, and unlike Heero, should she hurt him, Duo would make her pay.
"Stop working and lets go somewhere," she said, letting her hands drop around to his waist.
"I-uh-can't. I really need to get this done."
Hilde pouted for a moment, then smiled. "Fine, then I'll help," she said, reaching for the doorknob.
Duo spun her around and kissed her, which had the desired affect. Hilde put her arms around his neck once again. The only thought going through Duo's mind was, Heero's kisses are better; his lips, softer. Duo pulled away from her.
"No, you'd get bored." Duo reached into his pocket and pulled out a credit card. "Why don't you call up some of your friends and go shopping? I won't take no for an answer. Especially since I have to cancel dinner plans."
Hilde gave an obviously fake sigh and said, "Oh, all right. But tomorrow you're all mine!" Turning to go, she added, "Do you mind calling ahead and getting back the reservation? Betty and I will go there after the mall."
"Sure," Duo said, making a mental note to do so.
After she left, Duo let out a sigh of relief. He turned back to the study and opened the door. Heero was still fast asleep. Duo smiled and leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest. He looked at the sleeping figure in his bed, and fancied that Heero looked just like an angel would in his sleep.
Almost as if Duo's thoughts had conjured him from his sleep, Heero yawned and stretched. He looked up to see Duo watching him, and blushed slightly. Then, the door opened and closed and both of them visibly tensed. Duo looked at his watch and relaxed.
"D-do you think that h-her?" Heero stammered, looking around for his clothes.
"Nah, Hilde already came by," said Duo with a wave. At Heero's wide-eyed stare, he laughed and added, "Don't worry. She didn't see you and I sent her off to the mall. Shopping sprees her favorite past times."
^_^ ^_- ^_^ ^_- ^_^ ^_-
Goodness, he's laughing at me again, Heero though self-consciously.
Heero stood up, having located his clothes, and began getting dressed. He wouldn't look up for he knew Duo's gaze was following him. Just thinking about it made Heero blush even more. Just as he was finishing up, a young woman with waist-length lavender hair and gray eyes came up behind Duo.
Who is she? Heero thought. Could she and Duo.be.He let the thought trail off, not wanting to think about it.
The young woman was wearing a suit, although with a skirt instead of pants. Under the coat was a white blazer. She had on skin-toned stalking and blue heels the same shade as her suit. She had folders in her arms and a pen tucked behind her left ear.
"Hey, Maxie," she said.
"Oh, don't call me that!" Duo said.
"I've known you since you were eating mud pies. I can call you what I want!" she said matter-of-factly.
Duo groaned in response. The young woman just laughed; a sound similar to silver bells. She turned her gaze and finally noticed Heero in the room. A look of surprise crossed her face, then knowing. She poked Duo in the side and motioned to Heero.
"Oh, Heero. This is my assistant, Saotoshi Hatsuma. Sao, this is Heero Yuy." Duo said.
Sao walked into the rooms, shifted the folders so she wouldn't drop them, and held out her hand. Heero took it hesitantly and they shook hands.
"It's a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Yuy," she said. She turned back to Duo and asked, "So, did you get rid of that slut?"
"Not yet," said Duo.
Sao made a noise that was clearly of disgust. Heero didn't know what made him do it, or where he got the courage, but he asked, "Are you two.?"
Heero trailed off, pretty sure that they both knew what he was trying to ask. Sao looked at him stunned for a moment. She slowly turned her gaze to Duo. Heero was prepared for a number of possible reactions. That is, most except the way Sao reacted. Heero saw her shoulders shaking, and he assumed she was crying. He could handle this. Too bad he didn't remember what they said about assuming. As he was about to step forward, he realized she was laughing. Sao dropped the folders and clutched her sides. Her laughter now filled the room. She was laughing so hard she nearly fell back.
Oh, please don't tell me she's laughing at me! Heero thought embarrassed. Then, Oh God! I'm wrong! This caused him to blush furiously.
Sao was calming down finally, looked at Duo. Then she looked at tomato- faced Heero and exploded into another fit of laughter. This time she honestly did fall back. Heero threw Duo a confused look, but Duo was glaring indignantly at his assistant.
"And what, pray tell, is wrong with me that you find the concept of 'Us' so funny?" Duo said, more indignantly than his glare.
"Everything!" Sao blurted out in reply. After another moment or so, she wiped a tear from her eyes and, picking up the folders, answered Heero. "No, Duo and I have been friends since we were kids. I'm just his assistant, housekeeper, advisor, sometimes conscience, you catch my drift. And I am paid damn good for it too! Without me, he'd be lost."
Heero nodded and watched as Sao went over and kissed Duo on the cheek and handed him the folders. "Okay, there are those reports and if you need me, I'll be in front." Then, throwing the two guys another knowing, mischievous glance, she added, "I'll leave you two to your-um-business."
And she left the study with a, "Bye, Hee!"
"Hee?" Heero asked after she had left.
"Ah, that just means she likes you. Damn crazy woman!" Duo said as he sat behind his desk.
----------------------------------------------- That's the end of the chapter cuz the pen I was using ran out and cuz I said so. So what do you think? Does it measure up to your expectations although I wrote it and not Miaka? And for those who don't know, what the say about assuming is that 'It makes an ass/u/me'. Put the underlined words together, and what do you get, assume!!
And Nicki, you read my mind w/ the whole Quatra/Trowa thing!!!! Btw, I know what some of you are thinking. She put herself in the story, damn she is conceited. But, 1) This Sao looks absolutely nothing like me. 2) The decision to put her in here was made by both the author and me. So there :- P I'm not so damn conceited as you think!!!! Especially since, I took the time to stop writing my story to right this, although it was an excuse not to take off one of my failed (miserably) stories. Well, now my rambling is done so BUH-BYE!!!!!! And R&R plz!!!!! ^_^ *Sniff sniff* I had to add that the review I wrote no longer applies because HOS was taken out, bye.
