The Story of Our Love
Part 15: Michelle
Relena was walking toward her office quickly. There was a different liveliness about her, but she still had her work-face on. Her silver pumps which matched the silver suit she was wearing informed everyone that she was still the same person after all that had happened in the course of 18 months. Everyone watched as her pumps were the only sound.
" Good morning, Miss Darlian." A smiling face stepped in front of Relena and almost caused her to fall on her face. Regaining her composure, Relena looked at the girl in front of her. The girl wore a red shirt with red stilettos and a black skirt that was too short for her own good. She made Relena look regular.
" Who are you and what are you doing on my floor?" Relena asked, looking at the smiling girl that was no older than nineteen. The girl's smile did not falter once during Relena's stare.
" I am Michelle Herrick, your new secretary." The girl said. She flipped her curly blonde hair out of her face. Relena grinned mischievously. She was going to make this poor girl's life hell.
" Well, welcome aboard, Michelle. The first thing I'll need you to get me is a cup of coffee and a report on everything that I have missed in the past 18 months."
" Yes, Miss Relena." Michelle smiled and hurried off. Relena smirked and looked behind her and noticed that the whole office was watching.
" What the hell is this? A television show? Get back to work!" She barked at them. They all returned to whatever they were doing and Relena opened the door to her office and saw that Heero was there.
" I see that you have met Michelle." He said. Relena rolled her eyes at him.
" Where did you get her? A strip club? Anyway, she's bringing me my coffee and won't like it if you are in here."
" Are you kicking me out?" Heero asked, looking at his fiancée. Relena looked back at him. There was almost no emotion in her face. No readable emotion, at least.
" Get out of my office and go try to get some work done, Heero." Relena kissed him on the lips and pulled him out of her chair just as Michelle walked in the room. In one hand she held a large cup of coffee. In the other she held a stack of papers that were just dying to be read.
" Oh, I'm sorry. Should I have knocked?" Michelle said. Relena shook her head.
" Mr. Yuy was just leaving, weren't you?" Relena said, clasping her hands together. Heero glared a look that said "wait-until-you-get-home" and walked past Michelle. Michelle watched him intently. There was a single instance that Relena caught where Heero and Michelle were both staring at each other, but Relena shook it off.
" Here's your coffee, Miss Relena."
" Thank you, Michelle. You don't always have to be so formal with me. You can call me by my first name alone if you wish." Relena sat, sipping her coffee. Michelle smiled, then sat the papers down on the desk.
" This is a record of everything that you officials have had to take care of in the days of your absence. Some papers need a nice long looking over and some of them need signatures. Call me if you have any questions, Relena." Michelle smiled and turned mechanically on her heel and left. Shortly after she left, the door opened again.
" Yes, oh-great-person-who-has-forgotten-the-common-courtesy-we-call- knocking?" Relena looked up. Hilde stood there smiling.
" Hi, Relena. How's Dru? Duo said that he spoke to you earlier today. I was still asleep." Hilde said. For the first time, Relena noticed that Hilde didn't have any make-up on.
" Has the great Hilde actually stepped out of her house without anything on her face, at all? Oh my goodness!!!" Relena said jokingly. Hilde laughed at her friend's antics.
" You try having a set of twins where you have to watch whatever one puts in his mouth while to other is screaming in you ear. I love Heidi and Deuce with all my heart, but they drive me up the wall. So, make-up wasn't really a necessity this morning if you get my drift." Hilde said. Relena laughed.
" I bet Duo just encourages his kids, doesn't he?"
" You know he does. Deuce and Duo eat all the time and Heidi and Duo just yell to see who can get louder. It's like they're on a rampage against me. Damn kids. I have three children, Deuce, Heidi, and Duo. Don't get me wrong. Duo is an excellent father. He knows when to discipline them, though." Hilde had a dreamy look in her eyes.
" Back to reality, Hilde!" Relena snapped and Hilde looked at her and laughed.
" Enough about me. What about this darling wedding you're supposed to be having. Dru is a year and a half. That's about the time he asked you, isn't it. What do you want to do. I know firsthand that Heero isn't the extremely creative type."
" You got that right. I want my wedding simple. I don't really want a flashy wedding. I just want one that has the most beautiful, rarest flowers and the most expensive champagne and the most expensive dress. I am rich. I wanna actually spend some money because everyone knows that I don't. I want to get married on a beautiful island in front of only my closest friends."
" So, let's make this dream wedding happen, cap'n. I will help you find your dream things. This will be all about it. Okay?" Hilde held her hand out. Relena took it.
" Okay."
AN: Sorry for the terribly long wait. I haven't really had a lot of time to write, but since I had a tonsillectomy, I have a week of sitting around the house b/c my mom refuses to let me leave. So, my writer's block has mysteriously disappeared. Hope you like the rest of this story. It'll get a little heart-breaking from here on.
