Tempting

It was around two in the morning when Cagalli woke up. It wasn't just because she was tired too. Athrun was sweating uncontrollably and he was holding on to Cagalli a little too tight for her comfort. She was about to wake him up when he seemed to calm down knowing what he was holding on to was still there. Cagalli finally decided it would be best to let him sleep still. Later they would have to go and pick up Kira and Lacus.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Athrun's grip tightened again. Just as fast as it tightened, it loosened. Cagalli was confused but she moved away slightly trying to not be squeezed to death. On contact his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her close. 'What was with his grip?' It was starting to annoy her now.

"Athrun"

There was no response. He pulled her so close that she was suffocating against his body. She could have sworn that there was a grin on his lips. 'How dare he? He knew exactly what he was doing. That bastard and at a time like this.' Cagalli still played along. She pretended to fall asleep in Athrun's tight hold and started murmuring things. At first Athrun couldn't hear what she was saying until Cagalli moaned his name. A blush crept onto his face.

Athrun could feel his heartbeat fasten rapidly. Then he felt something warm trace over his chest. He pulled away slowly so that he was only six inches away from Cagalli. He saw that she had her hand feeling around his body. Then he felt something else. Cagalli had her legs wrapped around his and more heat rushed to his face. 'One night, that's all I ask for. Just one god damn night.'

"I wish you wouldn't tempt me like that Cagalli. You make me lose my control over myself."

With a jolt both Cagalli and Athrun sat up on the bed, breathing and sweating heavily. They looked at each other. Did what they dream of happen? Was it only a dream or more? How could they both have it if it was what the other person dreamt of?

"Heh, um good morning" Athrun said trying to smile. Cagalli looked at her alarm clock on her right.

"Um yeah…good morning too" Cagalli said trying not to think back. While she was trying so hard not to, Athrun gave a low groan knowing what he was about to do in the dream.

'How could I even think that let alone have a dream about it. It felt so real. Urg damn it. I'm supposed to protect her like I promised. How could I even think this at this time when all of this is happening?' Athrun ran a hand through his hair.

Cagalli looked over to see that his green shirt, the top near the collar was open to the middle of his chest. Then she looked down at herself and saw that her mahogany colored jacket was on the floor beside the bed. 'There is a reasonable explanation for this. Yeah um he got hot and then he loosed his collar to cool off. Um I must have also gotten hot and took my jacket off then it accidentally fell to the floor yeah that's what must have happened. But if what else I'm thinking might have happened then Kisaka is not going to be very happy.'

Athrun who was now trying not to think of the dream or what he hope was just a dream, looked over Cagalli to a digital alarm clock. It was five o'clock, time to get ready to pick up Kira.

"Cagalli…we have to go soon." Athrun's voice was still shaky but Cagalli didn't notice it as she was knocked out of her deep thinking.

"Yeah. We should…fix up before we meet them." Cagalli turned around to not look at Athrun as she stood up and straightened her shirt as well as grabbing her jacket and sliding into it.

Athrun did the same. Her turned to not stare at Cagalli and moved to straighten his green shirt as he felt that some buttons on the top were open. 'Oh God' He quickly buttoned it up and tried not to think of what could have caused the loose buttons. Then he moved to a chair that had his jacket draped over it. He slide into his jacket and walked to the door. He opened it and peered out. The maids were not to be seen.

'What's going on? There should be some here or I should be able to at least be hearing other foot steps. This isn't right, where did all of them go?'

"Athrun what is it?" Cagalli asked him as she saw him looking outside as though he was in search of something.

"The maids are nowhere to be seen."

"That's strange. There should be at least one isn't there."

"None. It's to quiet too."

"I think we should go. This place may not be safe for now."

"I'll call the driver if he hasn't disappeared as well." Athrun walled to where a phone was. It was to the right of the alarm clock. Athrun dialed in the number to the driver.

"Ms. Athha and I will be heading down now."

"Yes Mr. Dino. I will have the limousine in the front of the mansion right away." After that Athrun hung up.

"Let's go." Athrun said as opened the door waiting for Cagalli to get up and start walking. They walked to the front door and saw the driver out and had the limousine's door open for them.

"Thank you. To N.O.S.S. (National ORB Space Shuttle) please. We have to get there by six sharp." Athrun said before he got in after Cagalli. The drive to the shuttle was driven in silence. Cagalli and Athrun refused to try to say anything in fear of making it sound idiotic.

Once they reached N.O.S.S. the driver came out and opened the door for them. Of course Athrun came out first and held out a hand to help Cagalli. They walked to where Kira's shuttle was going to land and waited. Since this was early in the morning and that shuttle was closed so that reporters and those other people wouldn't come to pester Cagalli with questions. They sat in the arrival section for around ten minutes and Kira's shuttle had still not arrived. It was around six fifteen the last time Cagalli looked at her watch.

"I think their shuttle is delayed to a later time." Athrun said as he looked on a television screen that showed what time the shuttle arrivals were to arrive.

"What time does it say they should get here by?" Cagalli asked still sitting on a chair near the door to where arrivals come in through.

"Eight twenty."

"Eight TWENTY! That's in two hour. What could have caused the delay? It hasn't rained at all and I thought the atmosphere was clear from meteors and so why two hours longer."

"I meant it as eight twenty at night." Athrun said before he looked in Cagalli's direction.

"HUH? Why so la…" Before Cagalli could finish her question her cell phone rang. She opened it and saw that it was from Kira.

"Hello Cagalli?"

"Yeah, why is your shuttle flight so late?"

"Our original shuttle ship had to get repairs. It was flying through a meteor storm before it landed here so we have to either wait for a new ship or until this one gets repaired."

"Alright, when you hear if the flight is changed again, call me and tell me before hand."

"Ok." Kira said before hanging up. Cagalli closed her cell phone then looked at Athrun who walked over to her.

"So I guess we have a whole twenty six hours to wait for them. What shall we do until then?" Athrun asked knowing that Cagalli had cleared her schedule days earlier so that all of them could meet and Cagalli could show them the house they would be know living in. It was a wonderful home near the beach.

"I don't know. I don't think I'll be able to get the meetings with the administration back today since it was already rescheduled to next week with all of the other meets a had this week.

"So...um shall we go get breakfast? We left without eating anything and I can't have the head representative of ORB to get hungry, now can I." Athrun said smiling and started walked to the exit of the shuttle. Cagalli followed after him. Athrun decided to just get his car and drive them. It was a good with that his car was parked in the shuttle's parking lot when they had first arrived in ORB. He hadn't moved it since then since Cagalli's limo driver had done all of the driving. Today he decided to let him have the day off.

As they entered into Athrun's gray car and started it up Athrun for some reason even unknown to him blurted out the question. "Did you have the same dream as I did last night." He didn't even make it sound like a question; it was more like a statement.

Cagalli looked at him as he kept his eyes on the road. Then looked away blushing as what Athrun said hit her. She remembered what she had dreamt, or hoped it was only dreamt of. It was so real like. The feel, the emotion, the heat, it felt so real.

All of a sudden Athrun pulled over to the side of the road. He kept his gaze in front of him. Cagalli wasn't sure why he pulled over and stopped.

"Athrun?" She looked at him again. He didn't answer. It was quiet for a few moments. She decided to break the silence. "Um…aren't we going to go and um buy breakfast? I'm sort of hungry."

"I am too." He whispered as though he was scared of his own voice.

"Well then. Shouldn't we get moving?" It was as though Athrun was refusing to look at her. She was confused; it gave her a feeling that this wasn't something good. Oh boy was she right, well in one point of view that is. But perhaps to another it was a great adventure, whether it be risky enough to win it all or lose it all.
