Ch. 14 – So Much For My Happy Ending

"Miss Schbeiker?" A deep and dreamy voice called out to Hilde, causing her to jump. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I would never wish to startle you."

"Wh…who are you?" She cocked a brow at this handsome man now standing in front of her. His eyes drew her in. They were such a magnificent green and one was partly hidden by a swoop of dull blonde hair which had fallen out of its neatly combed position.

"Me? Oh, my name is Jason Landings, I'm a journalist from Business Weekly."

She knitted her brows together. "Then how do you know who I am?"

"You're a good friend of Mrs. Peacecraft Yuy. You were the girl the day of her incident at Kevin's weren't you?" He smiled so brightly.

-Why is he smiling like that?- "Yes…yes…I am, and I was. Only, wouldn't you rather talk to Relena about that, instead of me?"

"No, we've received a statement from Mrs. Yuy's office, but no reply from her directly. We are now interested in the bystanders take on the situation. We have interviewed a few of the people who had been sitting at the tables surrounding the two of you. Now we're interested on the eye witness P.O.V. that not only sees the outside, but the inside of Mrs. Yuy's situation."

"I'm not sure I can help you." Hilde started to walk away, terrified she might say something to incriminate Relena further. – She doesn't need my help. Every time I help…maybe it's really every time DUO helps…we screw her life up even more… -

"Wait, Miss. Please, at least allow me to take you to lunch!"

She turned around, confused by the whole situation. "Why?"

"At least I won't have wasted your time for nothing, then. Just allow me the honor of escorting a beautiful lady such as yourself out to dine with me."

"Well…I suppose there's nothing too wrong with that." She smiled and was instantly her bubbly self.

"Wonderful, where shall I pick you up?" He pulled out a pen and paper, so Hilde obliged by writing her address. "Tomorrow at noon. Be ready." He nodded and turned from her.

Hilde watched him walk away, considering everything that had just happened. "Please don't let me ruin Relena's life again…I should have just said no." Hilde finished her walk she had been taking, then walked rather gloomily back into her home.

"See a dead cat while you were gone?" Duo jabbed, laughing at her melancholy state.

"No!" She frowned at him in play.

"Aww, then what's the matter?" He played along with her game.

"Just this guy…"

Duo smiled brightly. "And would this guy happen to be devilishly good looking?"

"Well, actually, yes, but that's not part of the story."

"Oh…it's not?" He raised his eyebrows up and down twice, still grinning like an idiot.

Hilde plopped down on the couch next to him. "Yeah, he asked me questions about Relena, or wanted to. Then when I didn't answer, he asked me out to lunch."

"What?" Duo finally caught up to the situation that the man described was not himself.

"And I actually said yes. What was I thinking?"

"WHAT!"

"I know…it was stupid, baby." She poked her lower lip out and sighed. "You make him go away when he comes tomorrow, ok?"

"Wait, wait, hold up. Some guy asked you out to lunch? You ACCEPTED? And now you want me to tell him to go away?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, just getting my story right. Check."

Hilde rolled her eyes at him. "You hungry?"

"Nope. Not really."

"So in other words you ate dinner without me."

"Well…it wasn't really WITHOUT you, because you weren't here. So….well…"

"You ate dinner without me."

"Basically."

She smacked him upside his head and laughed.

"Oww!"

"Aww, poor baby." She kissed his head where her hand had just been. "All better?"

"Better than better." He turned his face to hers and pressed his lips to her own.

"Mm…I love it when you do that."

He wrapped his arms around her neck and pulled her over the sofa on top of him. "How about that?" He grinned.

"Even more." She sunk her lips back into his and nibbled at his lower lip. Hilde snaked her hands under Duo's shirt around to his back and pushed her body against his, kissing him ravishingly.

He jumped and pulled away from her, the memory of Relena flooded back into his mind. –You have to forget that.-

"What's wrong?" She demanded, both concerned and angry.

"Nothing, I just can't."

"Well you could last week. What's wrong with today?"

"Nothing. I've just got some stuff I'm thinking about. I just can't right now. Ok?"

"Ok…fine…"

"I think I'm gonna go take a shower." Duo shifted, sitting up, knocking Hilde off of him.

"Fine." She stood up and walked over to the window.

"Yeah." He disappeared into the bathroom.

She took a look back over her shoulder, "Maybe I should go to lunch with that guy. That Jason whatever his name was sure is a lot kinder than you." A teardrop ran down her cheek. "And imagine, just a couple weeks ago I thought you were gonna marry me…I guess between the time Relena's had and me…happy endings don't come true anymore."
