The Story of Our Love

Part 16: Infidelity

Relena lie on the floor watching Dru crawl to her. Heero was sitting on the couch, typing on his laptop. Dru looked at her mother. Her parents watched her. Dru pushed herself off of the ground and began treading her small little fat legs forward. Relena smiled and sat cross-legged.

" Good!! Keep coming to mommy!!" Relena sang in a high pitched voice of glee. Heero smirked at his daughter. Dru walked all the way to Relena and sat down in her lap. Relena kissed her daughter.

" Well, now that she can more then two steps, can we eat? I think the lasagna is done." Heero said, continuing his typing. Relena glared at him and stood to go to the kitchen. She took the lasagna out and cut a piece.

Heero was in the living room, trying to catch his daughter. She was pretty quick on her feet, considering that she was little and she'd just learned how to run. She looked at her father as he approached her.

" Stay still, Dru." Heero said calmly. Dru smirked(if a baby can do that) exactly like her father and took off between his legs. Relena walked and caught the child immediately.

" You, are very unknowledgeable about how to catch a baby." Relena picked her daughter up and put her in the high chair.

" Hn." Was Heero's retaliation to that.

The next morning, Relena walked in her office and saw a cup of coffee waiting and everything she'd need for the day before she even asked. She whirled around and looked at Michelle.

" No thanks is needed, Relena." Michelle said, not looking away from her computer.

" I wasn't going to thank you at all, actually." Relena said. Michelle turned to stare at her.

" You weren't?"

" No, I wasn't. I was going to tell you that you forgot my Snickers bar. I left a note last night. Here it is." Relena took the Post-It off the top of the books on Michelle's desk and put it on her computer. The look on Michelle's face was priceless. Relena turned and walked back in her office.

" That bitch..." Michelle whispered. As soon as the word was completed, Relena whirled to face Michelle.

" Thank you, Mickey. I live to here those words." Relena slammed the door. When she turned around, Heero was standing there.

" You really could've said thank you." Heero said, kissing his fiancee. Relena smirked and took out a Snickers. She took a hefty bite out of it and sat in her chair.

" Well, I guess I could've. But, off of her. I'm leaving two hours early today. So, you have to cover for me. Oh, and you have to be home by 6:15. I mean it Heero." Relena said.

" Relena, I don't have to cover for you. You're the ruler of the free world. You can leave when you feel like it." Heero said. Relena looked thoughtful.

" No, actually, I think that Lady Une has that job. She's made all my supposed public appearances lately." Relena polished off the Snickers bar and licked her lips. She looked at Heero. He had " The Look" on his face. Relena got up and walked to the door. She opened it and looked out.

" Let's go, Heero. The answer is no. I actually have a lot of work to do. I have a meeting in thirty and you are a distraction. Go to your office and threaten Duo or something."

" Hn." Heero sauntered out. Relena shut the door, but not before sending an evil look Michelle's way.

Michelle on the other hand had a plan. She'd overheard the conversation and knew exactly what to do to get back at her boss for making her life hell. She was going to do the unthinkable.

Later, Relena snuck off in her car. At the house, Dru ran to her mommy.

" Hey, baby! You wanna help Mommy and Priscilla make Daddy dinner?" Relena asked, nuzzling Dru's nose. The baby giggled horrendoulsy and nodded. Relena smiled.

Back at the office, Michelle was finishing up sending the emails to the delegates for tomorrow's press conference. She heard Heero in the other room.

" Hello." Michelle said meekly. Heero looked at her. She was cute, he'd give her that. But nothing like his woman.

" Hn." He responded.

" Have you ever tried to spell that response of yours?" Michelle asked, filing some papers next to him. Heero shrugged and kept looking in his cabinet. Michelle reached over him for the rest of her papers. Heero briefly saw her cleavage.

" Fascinated by my breasts, Heero?" Michelle asked. She looked Heero in the eyes. Heero looked at her. Michelle kissed him. For reasons beyond him, he kissed back and all heck broke loose on the the floor of the filing room.

Duo heard noises in the room and slowly opened the door to see his best friend and Relena's secretary. He frowned and looked at away. As quietly as he'd come out, he left.

Relena looked at the clock on the living room wall. It said 8:15. Even when they came home together, it was never this late. The food was cold. Dru was asleep on her mother's lap. Relena's anger was building gradually. She stroked her daughter's hair for comfort.

An hour later, the door opened. Heero sauntered in. Relena turned on the light. She'd long since put Dru to bed and Priscilla had gone home. Heero stared directly into her blue eyes. As usual, he showed no emotion whatsoever.

" Where have you been? It's 9:30!! I specifically asked you to be here at 6:15!!!!! That was three hours ago. My whole dinner was ruined!! It was a surprise for you and you just went and fucked it up. Why didn't you call saying you were going to be late? Answer me, Heero!!"

" I got held up, Relena. Calm down."

" Calm down?!?! You want me to calm down? You know what?" Relena walked to her bedroom door and closed it and locked the door. She knew Heero would eventually pick it, if he really wanted to. She went to her bed and layed down, calming herself. Her head was spinning.

An hour later, Heero picked the lock on the door and walked in. Relena was lying on the bed. She was crying. He walked up to her.

" I'm sorry." Heero said, kneeling next to her. He wiped her cheek. Relena's eyes focused on him and she looked in his eyes. She could tell he really was.

" I forgive you, Heero. But next time, call, please." Relena kissed him.

" Hn."

" Come to bed, Heero." Relena whispered in his ear.

AN: OOOOOOO!! Heero's done a bad, bad thing. And what about Duo? Will he tell on his best friend? Or will he let things play out by themselves?
