Chapter 28- The End; For Now

Incredible! Gilly thought to herself.
What had he done to her?! How had he done it?! It was amazing, he had made her sweat and she had done nothing! It felt good. She was relaxed and her strength was returning at the same time.
A drop of sweat ran down her temple and onto her pillow. She smiled and rolled onto her back. Looking down at her was her love, the only thing she lived for, Duo. He was smiling smugly at his accomplishment; her smile was of a calming nature.
"What did you do to me?" She asked breathlessly.
"Did it work?" He replied. "Like I said?"
"Yes," She sighed, "yes, it did."
"Good. It was simple, actually. You just needed some heat worked back into your muscles, so I obliged. Massages are good for you."
"And how!" She agreed.

*What the hell were you thinking?! Dirty perverts!*

"I'm glad you're back." HE sighed, stroking her cheek.
"So am I."
Gilly took Duo's hand and held it tight to her chest with her own. She closed her eyes and took his warming love into her. She could feel how much he loved her. Before she had a chance to open her eyes, she felt his hot breath on her face, and his other hand on her shoulder.
Duo's kisses were sweet and filling. They were like Chinese food; you're full right after you eat, but an hour later, you always want more. Gilly loved being able to feel his presence within her. When he kissed her, she felt safe, and that nothing could hurt her. She had not felt that for so long before...
It was always sad when a kiss ended, but Gilly wanted to look at him, too. She wanted to take in his attractive features with her eyes. She smiled at him.
"Bright eyes." He whispered.
"Hm?" Gilly cocked her head as she sat up, shuffling out of the sheets.
"You have bright eyes." He smiled dreamily.
She blushed slightly. "Thank you."
She ran her hands over his bare shoulders, than let them find their way to his back, and she held him as tight as she could.
"I love you." She whispered into his ear.
"And I love you, Bright Eyes."

Gilly tucked the white, satin tank top into the top of the long, navy blue skirt. She was incredibly grateful she didn't have to wear a dress, only a skirt. A dress would be unthinkable.
The white top was loose, and comfortable, unlike the blue skirt, which ended at her thighs and felt awfully drafty. She reached over and grabbed the matching blazer, and slipped into it. After buttoning it up, she looked in the full-length mirror and sighed. She looked awful.
"Woah!" Came a voice from behind her.
Gilly froze for a moment, than turned, and blushed madly.
"No!" She snarled.
"You should be." Duo smiled mischievously. "You look wonderful."
"I do not!" Gilly protested.
He sauntered up to her and looked at her fiercely. "Yes. You do."
"Rngh." Gilly disagreed, turning back to the mirror.
"Twirl." Duo commanded
Gilly did.
"Well! You were twirling! That's a new one on me!"
She turned and smacked his shoulder. "Shut-up."
"We'll be late," He said, looking at his watch, "if you don't stop your silly girlish antics."
Gilly smirked and took Duo's arm.
"Let's go." She moaned.

"Man! It's crowded!" Duo exclaimed.
"Duh!" Gilly agreed. "It's Ms. Relena's birthday, and she's excepting the office of Vice Foreign Minister!"
"Duo! Gilly!" Someone cried from across the crowded hall.
They turned to see who was calling them. Standing by a wooden door, was none other than Quatre. He was waving at them, and motioning them to come on over. Gilly and Duo made their way over hastily.
"How have you been?" Quatre shouted over the noise.
"Just great." Duo groaned, his hands on Gilly's shoulders, keeping her from being swept away from him.
Quatre laughed, and opened the door behind him. He ushered the two in to the balcony. Waiting there, were Trowa, Wufei, and Rasid.
"Hey guys!" Duo gave a peace sign.
Wufei looked disgusted and turned away, Trowa gave a not unkind smile, and Rasid gave a warmer smile. Gilly looked at Quatre, who was motioning them to sit. They took the two empty seats nearest them, and Quatre sat beside Gilly.
"I guess being head of the Winner family has its advantages?" Gilly asked.
"You'd be correct there, Gilly." Quatre smiled.
"Is Heero coming?" Duo leaned over and asked.
"He's here somewhere." Quatre sighed. "We don't know where, but he's here."
"That's good." Gilly smiled.
"I'm sorry I can't stay with you." Quatre repeated his sigh. "But, I'm a representative for the colonies, and I have to be on stage, I just wanted to make sure you guys got good seats."
"Thank you." Gilly smiled pleasantly as Quatre took his leave.
Nobody spoke at all. When the lights dimmed around them, and the stage lit up, everybody focused their attention to where Quatre was walking on stage. He gave a speech about how he looked forward to the new peace treaty, and that it would benefit them all. Gilly didn't really pay attention to the words, she just watched, she knew what was going on.
Quatre finished speaking, and a few other representatives of the nations of earth and the colonies filed onto the stage. Amidst them, the stage seemed very small. Quatre announced every colony and country's representative in turn.
"And now," He beamed, "I would like to announce our new Vice Foreign Minister, Relena Darlian!"
Relena walked up on stage. She looked very important and dignified for a sixteen-year-old. She walked up to Quatre and smiled.
After taking an oath, Relena gave her own little speech. She spoke of peace for the colonies and earth. Gilly smiled, what a remarkable girl Relena was indeed.
When it was all over, everyone in the balcony exited through the door. They stood around talking about Relena's speech for a few minutes, when Relena walked up.
"Congratulations, Ms. Relena." Gilly smiled politely.
"Thank you." She replied, all smiles.
"You did such a remarkable job as Queen, they just wanted you back, right?" Duo asked, jauntily.
"I suppose."
"Will you stay with us for a while?" Trowa asked.
"I have to be leaving for earth." She sighed.
"That's too bad." Gilly replied.
"There's always work to be done."
"Yes..."
Relena smiled and walked away, two men followed her. Bodyguards. Gilly thought. She was about to ask Duo something, when someone caught her eye. It was a spiky haired, boy who was following Relena. Gilly smiled, she knew who it was, and she turned back to their conversation.

Thank you ever so much for reading my story. I have every intention of adding more, but this is the initial story. I'd like to thank my best friend, who gave me support, all the time I've been writing it. But, it must end for now, so that I can work on other stories. Yeah!
