My Wish To The Moon
By Princess Yukina
Chapter 9
Aberdeen, England
The boys sat on the wooden bench; eyes closed and ignored the people that pass them by. In order from: Trowa, Quatre, Duo, Wufei and Heero. 3hrs they've been sitting there and try there best to be patient. Luckily for them, they have disguise themselves before leaving the mansion or they would have been chased around town by giggling fan girls.
Wufei grunted, "Damn it all! How long are those girls planning to shop?"
"Chill W-man! They're girls! What did you expect?" Duo answered his annoyed friend.
"Still, they should be nice enough to not let us wait this long!" Wufei snapped at his braided friend, "Women and their shopping… Blah!"
The other boys just silently agreed with him even Duo. It was another 30mins before the girls appeared before them with about a dozen of shopping bags on each arm.
"Phew! That was fun!" Hilde said excitedly, "I'm famished!"
"Yeah, that was fun!" Cathy agreed.
"We should do that more often!" Dorothy added, "I'm hungry too!"
Relena and Sally just smiled at them.
The boys just watched them with an annoyed look on their faces, which the girls took noticed. They look at them with apologetic face.
"We are so sorry guys!" Relena came up to Heero and kissed his forehead, "Forgive me?"
Heero glared at her, "One hour shopping… right…"
Relena giggled nervously, "We lost track of time! I'm sorry!"
Hilde kissed Duo's nose, "Sweetie, I'm sorry!"
Dorothy kissed Quatre's cheeks, "Sorry baby…"
Cathy gave Trowa a kiss on the cheeks as well, "I'm sorry…"
All three guys just gave them a glare like Heero did to Relena but didn't say anything.
"Damn it woman! How could you let us wait for 3 and a half hours when we could have enjoyed the beach while your shopping?" Wufei's voice got the others to turn, "That was a totally waste of our time!"
The four couples blinked and then looked at Sally who looked at Wufei with a disbelief look.
"What kind of reaction is that when I apologize for making you wait?" Sally asked, "We lost track of time and I'm very sorry for making you wait!"
"That's no excuse! You should have thought about time while you were going around town and spending you money or useless things!" Wufei angrily added, "Look at those stuff you bought! Are you even going to use them all?"
Sally was shaking, which the others took notice beside Wufei who was busy being angry.
"Wufei, Sally's sorry for making us wait…" Quatre started, "The other girls are sorry as well so why don't we…"
Wufei turning to glare at him cut him off, "Mind your own business Quatre!"
Quatre was taken back as Dorothy pulled him by the sleeve to move slightly away from the arguing couple. Duo has also wisely moved away with Hilde by his side also pulling Cathy and Trowa with him. Heero who stood up have taken Relena by the hand and moved her a few meters away from them as well.
Wufei looked at Sally with anger in his eyes, yes, he was annoyed for Sally's lack of time but he was silently beginning to regret it. The look of hurt in Sally's eyes was clear but she wasn't about to let the man get away for all the things he just said.
"Well then, don't worry about me wasting anymore of your time…" Sally said in a calm tune of voice, "If I have known this side of you a 5 months ago, I won't have wasted my time…"
U/N: Oh yeah, the group have known each other for more than that but they've been dating for 5 months…
Wufei was taken back by her words, "Now, Sally… Listen…"
"No, I heard enough…" Sally turned around to leave, "Enjoy the rest of your vacation Chang Wufei, and goodbye…"
As Sally walk away, the rest of the group watched her leave with shock written on their face. Wufei was frozen on the spot.
Hilde pulled Dorothy on the sleeve and motion to her to follow Sally, the other girl agreed. Excusing themselves from the rest, they ran after Sally. Cathy and Relena eyed each other and excused themselves as well.
The other boys didn't bother to stop the girls from going after Sally; they didn't even know what to say or do if they have. All they could do was look at their friend who was still frozen from the shock. None of them expected that would have happened.
They have seen the couple argued and fought over the silliest things but they never have imagined that they would actually broke up. But then again, who wouldn't? After those hurtful words that came out of Wufei's mouth, they don't blame Sally for being angry but breaking up with him? It was a total shock.
"Um… Wufei? You ok their buddy?" Duo bravely put a hand on man's shoulder and slowly shake him a little, "Wufei?"
Duo pulled him hand back like he was stung when Wufei suddenly move.
"Wufei?" Quatre called out, "Um… You there?"
Then the boys jumped back, even Heero and Trowa when Wufei turned to them with an expression they've never seen before on the Chinese man. He was grinning like a fool but his eyes shows anger. Then they began to worry when Wufei began to laugh.
"Women, right? They're so dishonorably despicable!" Wufei said between laughs, "They can't stand being wrong or being corrected!"
And his laughed continued, it was loud enough for the others to hear but not to those who passes them by or close enough to them.
Heero took a few step forward to his Chinese friend, "Wufei, you over did it… You totally hurt her…"
"Those words you said to her hurt her, Wufei…" Quatre added, "She didn't deserved any of that…"
"Actually, the right words are 'burned' and 'shot down' more like it…" Duo corrected, "I mean, sure, she was late and so was the other girls…"
"Wufei, they're women and they deserve it after being cooped up from rehearsals and the press! You of all people should have understood that!"
"They're right Wufei," Trowa said, "Sally seriously didn't deserved those words you threw at her…"
Wufei didn't say anything; he just looked at his friends like they grew another head or something. Instead of saying anything at all, he walked away.
The four boys watched him leave, they sighed and looked at each other.
"Who's going to talk to him?" Duo asked, "I'm not good at any love advice for crap…"
"Ditto…" Trowa said, "I don't know what to say to him…"
"Leave me out of it," Heero added, "I'm not the expert on this…"
Then the three turned to their blond haired friend. Quatre blinked and looked back at his friends, he then got the silent message.
Quatre raise a hand and hung his head, "I'll go talk to him… but I can't promise you anything!"
Then he walked off to follow Wufei.
-
The girls found themselves back to the mansion but Sally was nowhere to be found. They re-group on the living room.
"I can't find her anywhere!" Hilde said sadly, "Where could she be?"
"She's not in her room either…" Dorothy said, "She couldn't have gotten that far…"
"She not in the garden or in the kitchen…" Relena said.
"She's not anywhere else…" Cathy added, "I'm worried…"
"We all are…" Dorothy bit her lower lip.
Just then Julia walked in the room, "Ladies? Is there a problem?"
Relena turned to the woman, "Julia, have you seen Sally?"
"We need to find her, fast!" Hilde added.
"Well, I saw the poor dear come home and look very stressed out and she looked like she's about to cry," Julia played with her fingers, "She dropped her bags and asked me not to tell anyone where she is… She said she'll be home for dinner and that's in 4 hours…"
"What have happened?"
The other girls looked at each other with worried and distress look in their eyes. Not knowing what to tell the woman before them. Dorothy decided to tell the tale.
"Wufei have said some horrible things to her and totally hurt her with those words," Dorothy started, "Well, the outcome was a break up between them…"
The middle age woman put a hand on her mouth to stop a gasp; she was shock, "Oh my lord… the poor dear…"
"Tell me everything you know…"
Then they told Julia what have happened with a few comments from Hilde and Cathy.
"She didn't deserve it!" and "He shouldn't have said those awful words to her…"
A few minutes later after they were finish, Julia have made up her mind.
"Why don't you girls go freshen up and I'll go talk to the poor dear…" Julia gentle pushed them out of the room, "Go, go! I'll deal with Sally, don't you dears worry!"
The girls were not so sure but then again, it was Julia and they have turned to the woman for advice for years. They've decided to leave it to her and walked out of the room.
"Now, then…" Julia sighed as she walked out the room.
Exiting the house, she turned to marbled stairs on the side of the mansion that leads down to the beach. Once she reached the bottom, she walked about 5 meters and found a familiar blond.
She was sitting on the sand with her knees against her chest, chin resting on them and eyes fix on the ocean. Fresh stains of tears trail her pretty face and few drops were streaming down.
"Sally dear?" Julia called out as she put a hand on the girls shoulder.
Sally looked up to the woman but said nothing, she returned to stare at the blue water. Julia sighed as she took a seat beside her.
"I met my Andrew when I was about you age," Julia started, "Oh, was he a looker! All the girls in town wanted him…"
"He was everything I ever dreamed of! A little loose on the edge but he was just perfect!"
Julia started to laugh, "We were friends for a long time but I have this secret desire for him… Even if he dated other girls I still love him with all my heart…"
"We also have our differences… Oh, the things we fight over! It driven both of us mad! Of course, the girls he dated hate the thought of another girl getting close to him, so they would always try to get me away from him…"
Sally tore her eyes away from the ocean and looked at the woman beside her.
"Then one day, Andrew found out about it and got angry with them… Then he turned around and started yelling at me of why I didn't say anything to him…" Julia smiled sadly, "We argued about it, it was stupid and we both knew it but neither of us like to let the other get the upper hand…"
"So, in the end… We didn't talk for like a month or so… We would avoid being in each other's way until that day…"
"My Father got a promotion… at Paris," Julia sighed, "My family and I needed to move, so, since I thought that Andrew hated me… I followed along with my Father's plan and moved to Paris…"
"What did Andrew say about this?" Sally finally spoke.
"I didn't tell him…" Julia sadly answered, "Since he didn't talk to me for such a long time, I didn't think it matted and he would hear it from the people in town anyway so I left without saying goodbye…"
Sally was taken back, shocked that Julia have done such a thing to the man she love, "What have happened to him?"
"Well, it was about 2 years after when I returned back to visit my friends who I kept in touch with… None of them mention Andrew or I ever asked about him…" Julia smirked, "But in the back of my mind, I wanted to know everything that have happened to him… So when I returned, I brace my self…"
"For what?" Sally asked but was taken back when she looked at Julia's eyes, "Oh…"
"Yes, well, it was a possibility since he was such a hot-shot and all but I still have hoped that he wasn't… and well, when I finally saw them that day, it wasn't what I expected," Julia began to laugh, "He yelled at me for not telling him or saying goodbye or even write to him for the past 2 years… and then…"
A long pause, Sally blinked as she watched Julia's cheeks turned crimson, "And then?"
"Well, we were in the middle of the center along with our friends… They were laughing at us while we argued and then shocked for what Andrew did…" Julia bit her lower lip before continuing on.
"He kissed me…"
Sally's eyes widen, "He did?"
"Oh yes, he did… and I was totally shock…" Julia laughed, "It was a soft and sweet kiss, it took my breath away…"
"It was then we became a couple and I moved back into town… and about another year later, we got married…"
Sally was totally moved and she smiled, "That was a very sweet and moving story Julia… but why tell me this?"
"You love him don't you?" Julia turned to Sally, "the young man, Wufei?"
Sally looked down to the sand between her and the woman, "His such a jerk and at times he makes a very horrible comments about women, which totally bothers me…"
"His aggression about anything womanly is annoying and disturbing at times but at most part, his sweet and a gentleman…"
Sally's tears began to fall again, "It upsets me so much when he does it, making me sound weak and incapable…"
Julia listened to the girl with understanding look in her eyes, which she does since she went through them her self.
"But his such a great guy when he wants to be and he is but he choose to be that way when he dislike something and such…" Sally said, "He doesn't like a woman who doesn't follow his every word which is being ignorant and wrong!"
"But no matter how angry or upset or bothered by his words…"
Sally looked up to Julia, "I love him still…"
Julia wiped the tears away from the girl's eyes and kissed her lids before facing her again with a soft smile.
"Men are like that at times dear," Julia patted her back, "You just have to learn and understand it…"
"I did! Oh, Julia! I did try to understand him!" Sally cried, "How many times I have to hear him horribly comment about women when we are alone? How many times I have to sit there and let him tell me how to dress and how to wear my make-up or how to talk to other men… It's like he wants me to change for him!"
Julia sighed deeply and then finally came to a conclusion, "Do you want to leave and take some time away alone? I'll ask that damn agent of your to give you girls some free time!"
Sally was about to object but Julia stopped her, "No buts! I'll give him a called when I returned to the mansion and I'll get your bags ready for you and you can leave tonight when everyone is sleeping…"
Sally was grateful, she hugged Julia tightly, "Thank you very much Julia!"
And then something have caught her attention, "Wait… What happened to Andrew, you husband?"
Julia laughed, "My dear, you know my husband!"
It took Sally a few minutes to realize it, "Oh my god! For the past few years I've known you! I never knew! The 'Andy' the caretaker and cook?"
Julia laughs and nodded, "Yes, that's my Andrew!"
Sally laughed at this, "Oh my! I never knew!"
Julia patted her head, "Child! If you and the other girls would visit her more often, you would have known that! I believe Relena is the only one who knows!"
With a few more conversation, Julia stood up and pulled Sally up to her feet, "Now, why if you would patiently wait here until dinner starts, you can sneak you way up to your room and clean up! I'll have dinner brought up to you!"
"What about the other girls?" Sally asked.
"I'll let them know in the morning…" Julia smiled and kissed her cheeks before walking away.
-
True to her words, Julia have called the girls agents and battered him to give them a little more time. Which greatly worked since the agent happened to be her elder son, Marco, and have given the girls a month off. Of course, during dinner which everyone attend to. Sally sneaked up to her room and cleaned up, her suitcases all ready to go as well.
In the dining room, no spoke a word to each other. Earlier, Julia has asked them not to disturb Sally for the rest of the night, which they agreed. Also, in the dining table they were too worried to say anything at all. Wufei looked like he got run over by a truck three times but he was too proud to even say anything.
Quatre have returned to the rest of the gang after a 40min chat with Wufei but did not accomplish much. They've just decided to leave up to him and walked back to the mansion and met up with the other girls. Wufei have joined them an hour later.
Cathy decided to break the silence, "Is there anything you guys would like to do tomorrow?"
Duo, who have been itching to speak up answered, "There's a carnival just west from here about a 30min drive, I would like to check it out…"
"I heard about that too!" Quatre smiled, "I heard they got some great attractions up there!"
"That sounds fun," Hilde said, "I'm in!"
"Me too!" Dorothy giggled, "That's should be fun…"
Heero eyed Relena; she smiled at him and nodded.
"Us too…" Heero called out.
Everyone in the table then looked at Wufei who remained quite and kept on eating his food. He have ignored them and barely paid much attention to there conversation. The rest of the group decided not to say anything at all.
After dinner, everyone went on his or her separate way. Heero and Relena decided to take a walk on the beach. Hilde and Dorothy with Duo played poll while Quatre and Trowa played chess. Wufei decided to sleep early.
It was about 11:45p.m when everyone have retired for the night and about 1a.m in the morning when Sally sneaked out with her luggage with the car waiting patiently outside.
It was that morning during breakfast that they have found out that Sally was gone. Julia have assured them that she is somewhere safe and she will be meeting them by the end of the month back to Sank Kingdom. Everyone understood why Sally did it but only one of them was shock and upset.
Wufei clenched his fist until it began to bleed, also his lower lip have shown distress. He cursed under his breath.
"Damn woman…"
