Author's notes: now in this next chapter, it's kinda a true story- as my friends and I DID stake out the guy I liked. For those that reviewed, this story is kinda based on the relationship I had with a guy at uni, but the story isn't 100 true.. I'm not letting Heero and Duo hook up straight away because that's not what happens in real life! No fluffyness here.. no sir-ee! Hope ya'll like this chapter! Don't forget to review!
Ch4: stake outMan! What the fuck was wrong with that guy! Why did he get so defensive when I asked him for his number? Doesn't he want me to call him? At first I figured that maybe Duo wanted nothing more to do with me other tthan casual sex. And I didn't know if I really wanted that. I'd prefer an actual boyfriend- someone I can see and hang out with and have fun with- not someone who was going to dick with me.
But then why did Duo as me to go for coffees with him? Was it just an attempt to try get into my pants again? Well that almost worked, if it wasn't for his housemates walking in on us! Why can't uni romances be so simple? Why couldn't he just give me his number and be my boyfriend and we'd live happily ever after? Pfft! Get real, Heero! That's never how it happens!
I sat in the library, trying to do my business management project, but I couldn't think. I couldn't stop thinking about Duo. Now this is why I hate romances (or whatever this was) during uni! It messes with you! I can't stop wondering what the fuck is going on and why he's so hott and cold all the time!
And then I had a brilliant idea. It was something the boys and I did to Wufei's ex firlfriend after she broke up with him. It was probably illegal, but it's what kept us occupied!
------------------------------------------
That night, I rounded up the boys and in Trowa's car, we drove down to Duo's house. Now that I knew where he lived, we could stake out his house and suss him out. When we did this to Wufei's ex girlfriend we didn't see much, but just sitting in the car with donuts and soda kept us amused for hours.
We weren't stupid enough to do this shit during the day, so we waited until about ten o'clock before we headed out. I sat in the back with Wufei and Quatre in the front with Trowa. Things were a little weird around Trowa and I since he kissed me. Mostly because I didn't know what Quatre would say if he found out his fuck buddy had just kissed their best friend. Sitting in the back wasn't entirely about Trowa, as it was also for stealth puroposes. I didn't want Duo knowing I was staking out his house. Incase we were seen, I brought a white mask to cover my face and made sure my black jumper had a hood on it to cover my head. We all wore dark colours but only I brought a mask because Duo knew only me. I was the only one who had a real chance at being sprung. As we rolled into Duo's street, I put the hood over my head and held the mask in my lap.
Duo's house was in a court, so we had to turn the car around so that it was facing the entrance of the steet, just incase we were sprung and would have to leave fast. Trowa turned the car around and parked it across the road from Duo's house, in front of someone else's house. We all hunched down and stared out the side windows. There was one streetlight in the whole street and it happened to be in front of the house next door to Duo's. Thankfully I didn't shine directly upon us, but it gave us a good view of Duo's house. His house wasn't huge, but the large front windows looked directly into the living room. The timber venetian blinds were down, but not closed so we could see through the wooden slats. There was a guy sitting on the couch, watching TV. His hair was such a light blonde, it was almost white. If I had to name the colour, I'd say it was platinum. His hair was long, past his shoulders, but it wasn't as long as Duo's.
"Oh yeah," Wufei huffed. "This is going to be real intersting," he complained sarcastically.
"Shh!" Quatre whispered. "What if he can hear us!"
I rolled my eyes. "I highly doubt it," I replied. "He's got the TV on and we're outside!"
We sat for about another ten minutes, just watching the guy as he watched TV. He was a good looking guy. He looked about 23 or so, but I didn't remember seeing him around uni.
It was as if Trowa was reading my mind- or that he just had a one track mind! "He's not bad," Trowa smiled. I rolled my eyes.
After another ten minutes, we started getting bored. With Duo nowhere in sight, we figured that maybe he'd gone out. Wufei started passing the donuts around.
"Should we call him?" Wuatre asked.
"No!" I replied a little too loudly. I quickly lowered my tone again. "And besides, I haven't got his number anyway, remember?" I had told Quatre about Duo's spat only yestersay. "And even if I did, why would we call him?"
"To see where he is!" Quatre explained. Huh? I'm lost!
"How? Have you got one of those police trackers hidden on you?" I asked sarcastically. Quatre is no doubt the smartest one out of all of us, but sometimes his logic was just.. weird!
"No," Quatre laughed. "I mean we ring him, but not say anything so we can hear what's going on in the background and hear if he's out, in the car, somewhere quiet, etc."
Wow! Quatre has some pretty dandy ideas sometimes! Pity the jerk wouldn't give me his number! "Oh! I getcha now!" I replied.We waited another half an hour. It was getting close to 11pm and we all had uni the next day. "I think we should call it a night, gentlemen," Trowa announced. We all agreed. Duo wasn't home and the blonde guy was getting boring to watch, no matter how cute he was. Trowa started the car. Just as the car started moving forward, a red car came screaming into the street we were in and right into Duo's driveway.
"Duck!" Trowa called out and all of us, except for Trowa ducked down low. To not look suspicious, he continued to drive, but parked just outside the street at an angle that we could still see the front of Duo's house. Quatre, Wufei and I got back up and watched out the back windscreen. We watched Duo get out of the drivers seat and Hilde got out of the passenger seat.
"Who's the girl?" Wufei asked.
"That's Hilde," I explained. "She goes to my uni too. She must be one of Duo's housemates," I explained. I thought it was her voice I heard when I was inside Duo's house, and seeing her there just confirmed it.
Duo and Hilde were talking about… something. We couldn't hear them from so far away, but they were smiling. Duo looked like he must've teased Hilde, because she playfully hit him in the arm as they walked up to the house. Then Duo playfully grabbed her in a headlock. They were both smiling (and I'm assuming laughing) as Duo dragged Hilde into the house, still holding her in the headlock.
"They seem.. playful," Quatre commented.
"Yeah," Trowa seconded.
"Maybe they're just good friends?" Wufei guessed.
"Maybe," I replied. Why are the guys making it sound like Duo and Hilde have a thing going on between them? Duo's most obviously single- and gay!
In all honesty, I didn't know a thing about Duo. Even when he and I went for coffees, we didn't really talk about anything serious. All I learnt was that he lived with two housemates, but I had no idea how he'd met them, etc. I told him a little about myself. I told him about my Uncle Odin, how I'm friends with Trowa, Quatre and Wufei, but after that, we only had idle chitchat! The weather, Tv, uni, etc.
I must aim to get to know someone more before sleeping with them! I feel like a total whore! I don't want to end up like Trowa! Ack! No!
On the way home, we decided to do another stake out only if I see Duo at uni again. There'd be no point in staking out his place if I continued with my plan to ditch his ass.
Oohh.. his ass.. Ack! Stop it, Heero!---------------------------------------
In the next lecture, I rocked up on time, but there was no Duo in sight. I wasn't sure if he was going to rock up at all. I figured that the best way to end this shit was to avoid him anyway.
About 5 minutes later, Duo came in and I quickly put my head down before he spotted me. I wanted to act like I hadn't seen him come in. I wanted to seem uninterested. But I want him to notice me! I wanted to know what he'd do if he thought that I hadn't seen him come in. I wanted to know where he'd sit.
Deep down, I wanted him to sit with me. But I didn't know why. I hated how he came across as hot and cold. I hated how he cracked it at me last week when I asked him for his number. But then again, I loved the mystery behind it. I wanted to know why he started paying attention to me and why now, why not at the beginning of the semester (then again, I hadn't even seen him until a short while ago). I wanted to know what was behind his secretive nature. The only way I was going to figure it all out was if I hung around him and got to know him better.
I was thinking about these things so much that I didn't notice him coming up the stairs towards me until he was a few steps away. I looked up at him, but didn't smile. I didn't frown at him either. I wanted to seem neutral to his presence. My eyes dropped back down to my book and the doodles I was drawing in it.
We sat in silence. I wasn't going to make the first move. He was the one who messed things up last week so he should be the one to fix things, tell me I'm hot and give me his number. I wasn't really pissed off at him. I was more shocked at his reaction and how he acted last week. I could see through the corner of my eye that he was looking at me. Not at my book, but right at me. It makes me paranoid when someone stares at me. I can't help but wonder if I've got something on my face. He was starting to get on my nerves. I could handle him looking at my book as I drew, but I felt uncomfortable with how he was staring at my face for the last few minutes.
"What?" I asked as I looked at him.
"What, what?" Duo asked back. He seemed oblivious to why I was getting cranky.
"What are ya staring at?"
"You," Duo replied.
Horray for Captain Obvious. "Well would ya stop?" I asked, returning my gaze to my book.
"Why?"
Was that a hint of playfullness I detect? I looked back up at him. He was smiling. Oh, what a beautiful smile! "Because it's giving me the shits. Why are ya staring at me anyway? Stare at the lecturer or something!" I whispered and then returned to my book again.
"I don't want to," Duo replied. "You're face is more interesting."
What the hell am I supposed to make out from that comment? Is he saying my face looks funny? "I find that highly unlikely," I grunted. I hoped that he meant it as a compliment, but the only guy giving me compliments lately was Trowa.
"You've got such a beautiful profile," Duo commented. What the? Is he saying I'm beautiful? "You look uninterested when you're doodling, but sometimes your face shows such concentration when you're drawing tiny details," he explained.
I looked up from my book. "Well the staring is making me uncomfortable." I went back to doodling in my book. I'm supposed to be telling this guy to sod off, not humouring him!
"You want me to stop looking at you?" He asked. No! Keep looking at me! In fact, I want to know you like looking at me all day long! Yes! Look at me! Oh and don't forget to tell me how good I look too, okay?
I looked at him again. "No, I want you to stop staring. There's a difference." I went back to my book. I hoped I was giving him the shits too because I wasn't giving him my full attention.
Then I felt Duo's arm. He'd placed it on the back of my seat and his fingers were tickling my side. Fuck! It feels so good! His fingers lifted up the side of my shirt and danced on the skin just above where my belt sat. Oh, how I want him to go lower!
"So I can look at you, but not stare?" Duo asked. I nodded without taking my eyes off my book. I pretended to ignore the amazing sensation of his fingers on my hip. "Well that's a bit hard to do. Where do we draw the line at looking and staring?" Duo asked. I continued to pretend to ignore him. Oh, but he knew I was listening to his every word! "A look would imply a few seconds. But with a face like yours, looking should imply I could look at your face for hours at a time. So then how am I supposed to know when admiring your face turns into staring?"
That's the most he's ever said to me in one go.. ever! Oh my God! He said he admires my face!
I looked up at him, as if I was uninterested. "Just make sure your tongue isn't rolling out of your head when you do it." Far out, that was a good line! He can look at my face as long as he wants now!
Just then, one of Duo's fingers slipped between my belt and my skin. Oh God, I want to leave this room and ride him! The physical contact (even though it was minimal) was amazing. I looked at him. He was smirking at me. "So who's staring now?" he said cheekily. He's right. Now I'm staring at him!
I didn't know what to say. I looked at his face for a few more seconds, then looked back at my book. He looks so sexy with that smirk. The confidence that beams off him is amazing. I love it! He's not afraid of anything!
I was grossly dissapointed though when Duo's fingers retreated and weren't teasing me anymore. No! Come back, fingers of Duo's! I need you to touch me more! As I was about to give in and protest to his fingers leaving my side, I felt Duo's warm breath on my ear. The feeling of his warm breath on my ears was.. amazing! I wanted him to lick my ears, then my neck, then my chest.. then..
"Library again?"
Oh Lord, how could I say no to this! He's driving me wild and I want nothing more than to ride him right now!
