It Cannot Be Love
Note: Song " When I Fall In Love." is by Nate Cole and one of my favourites. I hope you enjoy the sequel and that this continues to make Sally and Wufei seem like a good couple from Gundam Wing.
Wufei wished that he was anywhere but where he was. Why did I let her talk me into coming here? Wufei wondered as he glared at Relena as she danced by in Heero's arms. Relena had just had to have the bright idea of throwing a formal ball to celebrate Milliardo's engagement to Noin. So here he was stuck in a monkey suit, sipping warm champagne, and wishing he was anywhere but here. This is what listening to Sally got him. You need to socialize Wufei. You need to get out more Wufei. Are you too scared to go to a formal ball Wufei. Damn but the woman was going to pay for this.
"You know, if you glare at that glass any harder you might break it." An amused voice said from his right and with annoyance Wufei recognized the voice as his partner's. Glaring Wufei ignored Sally's comment and turned his attention back to watching the dancers spin around the room.
"What do you want Onna?" He finally said when Sally made no move to leave.
"I just wanted to rest and talk to my favourite partner Wufei." Sally said in an amused tone as she moved closer so that their shoulders were almost touching. Wufei felt a bead of sweat appear on his forehead as his body registered her nearness. Damn the woman for making him react like this to her Wufei thought frowning even more then before. She'd been acting weird ever since she'd come to get him for the Colony One problems. She'd taken to invading his space too and damn if he wasn't noticing. Turning to tell her he wasn't interested in talking Wufei nearly swallowed his tongue at the vision beside him.
"Onna, what happened to you?" Wufei gasped out as he took in the form fitting sleeveless dress she wore which clung to her body like it had been painted on.
"What do you mean Wufei?" Sally said with a small smile that made Wufei suspicious, like she knew damn well what he meant and was pleased with his reaction.
"You..you..your wearing..what the hell are you wearing?" Wufei sputtered out before he moved with catlike reflexes to stand in front of her, shielding her from view. "That dress is entirely inappropriate. Your going home and changing."
"It is too Wufei, may I have this dance beautiful." Wufei glared at Duo who just smiled back at him cockily knowing perfectly well how much he irritated his scowling friend. Accepting Duo's outstretched hand Sally moved out from behind him and let Duo lead her onto the dance floor.
"Dammit Maxwell." Wufei muttered as he watched the two spin around on the dance floor. "His hand move any lower and he's a dead man."
You think that only because you want to be the one holding and touching her a little annoying voice said in the back of his head. Shaking his head Wufei tried to ignore the voice and tried to concentrate on ignoring it. But it only got louder and his eyes were again drawn to Sally. So she looks attractive Wufei admitted to himself so what? There was nothing wrong with admiring her dress and the body it held, even if that body was Sally's.
"You know your going to strain your eyes doing that."
Wufei moved his eyes to meet Noin's briefly before turning back to the dancers though he was sure not to look in Sally's direction. "Nice party Noin."
"Thanks. You know if you asked her to dance she'd probably say yes." Noin said with amusement as she watched Wufei try to not look at Sally.
"What do you mean Noin?" Wufei said as he gave her his attention.
"Sally. The song's ending, why don't you ask her to dance?" Noin said motioning to the dance floor as though it were the smart thing to do. "Unless of course your afraid."
"I'm not afraid of anything." Wufei said glaring at her.
"Then prove it. Ask her to dance."
"I will." Wufei said setting his drink down. Squaring his shoulders he walked across the room where Sally was thanking Duo for dancing with her.
"Onna, you're dancing with me." Wufei said daring her to say no.
"Well if you put it that way how can I resist." Sally said and smiling at Duo allowed Wufei to lead her onto the floor as the next song began to play softly. Mentally swearing as the slow song began to play Wufei slowly pulled Sally into his arms and placed his arms on her waist. In shock Wufei felt Sally wrap her arms around his neck and draw even closer.
When I fall in love
it will be forever.
Or I'll never fall in love.
Wufei couldn't believe that this was happening to him. Of all the times for them to stop playing the waltzes and instrumentals. The woman singing was quite good and it was almost as if she was deliberately aiming the words at him. What nonsense Wufei thought as he spun Sally in front of him and was rewarded with her spinning back even closer to him. Silencing a groan Wufei struggled to ignore the feel of her against him . What's wrong with me Wufei groaned inwardly as he felt her eyes on him. Lowering his head Wufei looked her in the eye and felt his insides begin to melt. By the Gods her eyes are beautiful Wufei thought as he struggled unsuccessfully to tear his eyes away from her.
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun.
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
"Is something wrong Wufei?" Sally asked as she turned her head to the side quizzingly.
"Nothing's wrong. Why do you ask?" Wufei said struggling to form coherent sentences. God what was this woman doing to him?
"You look a little tense Wufei. Don't hold yourself so stiff, I don't bite." Sally said as she laid her head of his shoulder.
"Of course not woman." Wufei said sarcastically though their was a slight blush on his cheeks. The thought of Sally biting him was sending some very disturbing images through his head. " The day I'm afraid of you is the day I hang up my sword and marry Maxwell."
"Now we wouldn't want that to happen. You'd be completely wasted on him." Sally said as she swayed to the music.
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart.
And the moment
I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
When is this stupid song going to end? Wufei thought biting back a groan. How did he get himself into these situations. And what was she doing to him. He'd seen Duo contain his emotions better then he was right now. Scowling at the musicians Wufei slowly allowed himself to loosen up. If he was going to have to suffer through this then he might as well do it comfortable. Allowing his body to meld with hers Wufei allowed his body to move with her and the music as the woman stopped singing and the instruments took over. As if on cue the lights dimmed and the music seemed to become even more dreamy and romantic.
Instrumental
As they swayed to the music Wufei forgot that he was suppose to be scowling and allowed a content smile to take over his features. Tightening his hold Wufei gently stroked her back before quickly stopping when he realized what he was doing.
"Don't stop on my account." Sally said looking up at him with a content smile.
Raising an eyebrow Wufei ignored the suggest and continued to hold her tight as the piano played on in the darkness. This isn't so bad Wufei thought as he felt her hands leave his neck. Instead she placed them around his waist and began to stroke his back. Ignoring it Wufei simple sighed and forgot why he'd wished for this song to end.
And the moment
I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
As the music faded away and the lights came back on Wufei looked down at Sally with a smile still on his face.
"You should do that more often Wufei." Sally said lifting her head from his shoulder to look him in the eyes.
"Do what?" Wufei said softly unwinding his arms from her waist.
"Smile. You have a beautiful smile Wufei." Sally said softly as she moved her arms from around his waist to her sides.
Shaking his head Wufei give him a brief bow and then spinning on his heels Wufei strided off the floor and headed for the door.
Watching him go Sally smiled at her partner till he was out of sight and then gave a low, husky, laugh.
"So round one goes to me." Sally said under her breathe as she left the dance floor. Moving out of the way of a whirling couple Sally happily leaned against the wall and following Wufei's example watched the dancers.
The End.
