Beep. Beep. Beep .
"Ugh." moaned a figure as a hand shot up and knocked the alarm clock off the shelf. The figure then reached down to the sheets that were down by her ankles, and pulled them back up over her head, and curled them underneath her body. Suddenly, the door opened with a creek and someone crept alongside the wall, and walked towards the figure on the bed. It then walked to the other side of the bed, lifted up the sheets, crawled under them, and placed its arm around the sleeping figure's waste.
"Brad." moaned the person as she turned so she was facing him and draped her arm over his waste, and entwined her legs with his.
He placed his head into her hair and moaned "Relena." back in mockery.
"Brad." she wined as she hugged him closer
"Come on Alex it's time to get up." He said in a whisper.
"No" she simply stated firmly with her eyes still shut.
"Come on Alex." he said as he clutched a strand of her hair.
"No." she said again, this time with a wine.
"It's your turn to fix me breakfast now get up" he said again more firmly.
"But I'm so warm, five more minutes please." she wined again.
"No. Now." He said again.
"Ugh FINE!" she said angrily as she pulled herself from the bed. She pulled her yellow tank top down a little, along with her gray shorts that slid up during the night. She then walked to her door, put on her bedroom slippers. "See if I do anything for you again." she said grumpily as she walked from the door and into the kitchen. Brad just smirked with his face in the pillow and said "oh believe me you will!" and shut his eyes with a smirk on his face. He heard her grunt in reply in the other room then said back at her "Well somebody isn't a morning person!"
"Shut up!" she yelled at him. He laughed in response and wrapped himself in the warm bed.
"Stupid Brad and his stupid breakfast." she moaned angrily as she brought out all sorts of pots and pans from one of the cupboards. She then walked to the fridge, pulled out some eggs, milk, butter, cheese, bacon, and sausage. She then walked over to the pantry and brought out pancake mix. She turned the oven on, put some butter in two of the pans and let it melt, as she started mixing up the pancake mix with the directed ingredients. Once that was done, she mixed up six eggs, added milk and a little bit of pepper. She then put half of the egg batter into one of the pans, and put the pancake batter into the other. She continued cooking the breakfast, and Brad listened carefully as it sizzled and popped. She then flipped the pancakes and scrambled the eggs. Once that was done, she put the eggs in a bowl, and the pancakes on another. She added more egg batter to the one pan and more pancake batter to the other, scrambling and flipping. Once the eggs were done, she placed two sausages and some bacon onto the pan and placed the lid on it, letting it cook. While it was cooking, she started cleaning up, and brought two plates out and placed them onto the counter with forks, knives and napkins. She put two glasses there and placed OJ and Jam on the counter as well. She then placed four pieces of bread into the toaster. She took the sausages and bacon out of the pan and placed them onto the plates, and when the toast popped up, she placed them down as well.
"Brad your breakfast is ready!" she yelled as she plopped down onto one of the stools, and put some pancakes and eggs onto her plate. Brad came out with a smile and sat down next to her joining her. Just as she started spreading her jam onto her bread Alex looked up at her and said
"What no morning paper?" Relena glared at him and got up lazily and walked to the door. She then plopped up her crimped hair onto a pony tale and shut the door behind her.
As she walked down the hallway she muttered angrily "Stupid Brad, stupid newspaper and stupid breakfast." She then took the elevator down to the lobby, and walked outside. It was the first day of summer vacation after senior year. She walked into the busy world around her and took a deep breath and sighed. It has now been a full year since her departure and things couldn't be going any better. She was now 18, had a great job at a downtown nightclub, had an amazing friend and boyfriend, and her life just seemed so perfect. She then walked to the newspaper stand that was sitting in front of the building and walked up to the kiosk with a smile on her face. "Hey James how's work going?" she asked to the man within the walls of the kiosk. (Oh yeah a kiosk is one of those little posts that you see in malls and sometimes outside of stores.)
"Slow as ever Ms. Alexis how about you?" asked the middle aged black man back.
"Not so bad." She said with a smile.
"Well that's good isn't it? You looking for a newspaper aren't you?" he asked with a smile.
"Yup, how'd you know?" she said as she leaned against the kiosk.
"Every Sunday you and Brad switch off. I've noticed that about now since you've been doing it for a year." He said as he took the money from the man that was in front of her. He then gave him his newspaper and coffee. "Have a nice day sir." he said to the man. He just grunted in reply and turned around, glancing at Relena. He then took a double take. Noticing this, she looked more closely at him //oh my god it's Trowa.// she thought to herself as she tried to hide her horror and shock.
"Relena?" he asked as he looked closely at her.
"No I'm sorry sir you must have me confused with someone else." she said back at him. //oh shit how the hell did he get here?// she asked herself.
"Oh.I'm sorry then." Said the man as he continued to walk down the street. Relena stared at his back and then after a few moments, James jarred her from her thoughts with his laughter and merry talk. "That happens a whole lot to you I'm sure."
"You'd be surprised James." She said with another smile.
"Well." he said as he grabbed the morning newspaper and a cup of coffee, handing it to her. "Here are your things."
"Thanks James." She said as she took the newspaper and folded it under her right arm, and took the coffee in her right hand. She then reached into the strap of her shirt, and pulled out five dollars handing it to her good friend.
"See you later Ms. Alexis!" he said at her retreating back. She waved behind her head as she took a sip of the coffee in her hand.
"See you later James!" she then walked into the double doors, smiling and waiving occasionally to people she knew, and walked into the elevator. Just as it was shutting, she heard someone scream.
"Please hold the door!" Relena placed her arm out before the doors shut, and let the person into the elevator along with her.
"Thank you so much!" said the petit woman as she placed her hands into her pockets.
"No problem. Floor?" asked Relena as she pressed in her floor number.
"12" said the petit lady and Relena punched in the number 12, watching it as it lit up. Just then something clicked in her mind, and she recognized the voice of the woman standing next to her. She immediately turned her head over to the side staring at the woman. The petit lady realized she was being watched and glanced nervously at the woman besides her.
"Um yes..?"
"Hildie!??!" said Relena with shock.
"Yes who are you..OH MY GOODNESS! RELENA?!?!" screamed Hildie as she looked closer at the woman next to her.
"Hildie! What are you doing here?" asked Relena with a smile on her face. "I havn't seen you since Operation Meteor!"
"I'm staying in a hotel room for a while visiting some people! What are you doing here?" she asked with a huge smile on her face.
"I live here silly!"
"But how is that possible.I thought this was a hotel."
"The first 15 floors are! But the second 15 floors are apartment buildings. I guess they decided to combine the two."
"Oh." she said in understanding. After a moment of silence, Hildie spoke. "Hey Relena how long have you been living here?"
"For a bout a year I guess why?"
"Nothing I was just wondering. What do you do for a living?"
"I work at a nightclub downtown. You should stop by sometime." She said just as the doors opened on the 12th floor.
"Thanks I'll take you up on your offer." She then smiled waved and walked out of the doors. Just as the doors were shutting, Relena put her hands out and stepped out to stop the girl.
"Hey Hildie!" the short haird girl turned around to look at her.
"Don't let anybody know that I'm here. Ok?"
"Sure no problem Relena." Said Hildie as she turned around again.
"Oh and Hildie?" she spoke again. Hildie turned around.
"Yes?"
"I go by Alex or Alexis now."
Hildie smiled at her. "Ok I'll see you around Rel-Alex!" she then winked at her and walked into her apartment. Relena smiled, and then walked back into the elevator.
*~*~*~*~*~
Brad was tapping his hands against the counter when somebody suddenly came into the door.
"Finally!" he exclaimed as he got up and snatched the newspaper from under her arm. "What took you so long?" he asked as he sat down and started reading.
"Shut up Brad and finish your breakfast!" said Relena as she sat down and started eating again.
