The Story of Our Love
Part 18: Guess Who's Back
Heero sat, looking at the engagement ring. He sighed and looked at his daughter. Dru was sleeping next to him in the bed. Hilde had decided it was best for her to spend the night with him at their house. Duo walked in the room.
" Are you doing alright there?" He asked. Heero mumbled something.
" What possessed me to touch that tramp?" Heero asked. Duo shook his head.
" Relena knows that you love her and only her. Maybe she can overlook it this one time. But, you know how she hates being hurt in ways like this. I wonder what she's doing right now." Duo asked, looking out the window. Heero smirked.
" She's either sleeping her anger off, or she's walking around with a bottle of Hennessy, plotting her next move." Heero said, turning Dru on her side to make her stop snoring. Duo laughed.
Meanwhile, Relena was doing the latter of what Heero mentioned. She had a glass bottle of Hennessy in her hand was was shuffling through her closet. She looked in the mirror and looked at what she saw.
" Relena, you've become too soft. It's time to revert." Relena cleaned the lightly colored make-up off her face and then took a long swig of the alcoholic beverage she had labeled as her favorite. Smiling, she set her plan into action.
The next day at work, Relena walked in, in her usual domineering way. She walked directly to her office and slammed the door. Zechs and Noin looked at each other.
" Well, that seemed either very normal or very abnormal." Noin said. Zechs had a looked of pure confusion at his wife's words.
" What does that mean?"
" Over the past two years, Relena has had two different personalitites. There was the Relena before Heero and the Relena with Heero. It seems to be that her acting in that bossy way of hers is almost normal, but then again it isn't normal to the present time. Do you get what I'm trying to say?"
" Sort of." Zechs said, smirking at his wife's intellect.
" NOIN!!" Relena yelled into the intercom. Noin looked at her husband.
" Yes, Relena."
" Get in here ASAP or in other words, NOW!!!" Relena said. Noin glared at her husband.
" By now, I would think that you could tell which one I liked better." Noin walked into Relena's office. Relena was sitting in her office chair, on the phone with some delegate.
" Well, we'll just have to bring this issue to the Board, won't we? Okay, we'll talk dates letter.....No......Ok......Bye." Relena slammed down the phone and looked at Noin. The glimmer in her eyes that had been there when she was engaged to Heero was gone. Immediately, Noin's face changed to one of worry.
" Relena, are you okay?" Noin asked.
" Never been better. Why do you ask?" Relena asked, putting on her glasses.
" Well, with what happened yesterday..."
" Oh, I'm fine, Noin. Really I am." Relena said, smirking evilly. Noin looked really worried now.
" Okay. You called me in here for something."
" Oh, I need you to start taking applications for my new secretary. That's all. I would prefer it be an old woman or something. I don't think I can deal with another young girl." Relena said, looking at the papers on her desk.
" Whatever you say, Relena." Noin said, turning to leave.
" Oh and, Noin?"
" Yes, Relena?" Noin said, turning back towards Relena.
" Do it with a smile." Relena said, a funny twinkle that scared the mess out of Noin. Noin turned and left.
Relena watched Noin shut the door and looked at a picture of Heero and Dru that she'd forced him to take. It was the only picture she had of him and their daughter. A single tear ran down her face. Then a knock came at her door. Shoving the picture in her desk drawer, Relena straightened her desk up.
" Come in." She said placidly. Heero walked in. Relena stared at him with no emotion on her face and it scared Heero a bit.
" Hi, Relena."
" Get out." She said quietly. She still had no emotion on her face.
" Relena, just listen to me for a second." Heero said, his eyes pleading with Relena. Relea just stared at him. Her eyes betrayed her and let all the emotion her face could not release out in the open for Heero to see. Heero sighed a sigh of relief.
" Speak." Relena whispered, barely audible.
" Relena, I can't find an explanation for what I did. I'm really sorry and I never wanted to hurt you. It just sort of happened. If you don't want to marry me, then I'll understand." Heero said. Relena looked down.
" I still want to marry you, Heero. I love you so much. But, can I trust you again?" Relena asked.
" Yes. I will gain it back. Just say that you won't cancel the wedding." Heero said. Relena stood up and walked toward him. She slapped him and slapped him hard.
" I'll marry you. I just needed to get that out of my system."
