Chapter 3
Cagalli couldn't help but burst into tears after the call with Asuran, hearing his voice brought back the pain. She decided to take a shower, entering the bathroom, after removed her clothes and got under the shower letting the water fell on her face to remove the tears that keep coming down. Now sobbing Damn it why can't I stop? Banged her fist into the wall "Why?" she screamed.
After an hour or so the blonde emerged from the bathroom, somehow managed to stop crying, throwing onto her usual tank top and cargo pants.
I need to talk to someone .Lacus, Milly.
Picking up the phone dialing Lacus's number the phone rang until it disconnected.
Probably "busy with Kira" she laughed at her thought. At least I got Milly. Dialing Milly's number after few rings came a familiar male voice.
"Haww's residence" he said.
"Oh hey Dearka is Milly there?" asked Cagalli
"Hey Cagalli… Yeah hold on" Dearka replied
She waited they must be busy or something. Well hello Cagalli, its summer vacation and couples do usually hang out together.
"Hi Cagalli" came the sweet voice of her best friend (one of'em)
"Hi" she said and there was silence I can't tell her now and ruin her time with Dearka. I should call later when she's not busy. Shouldn't bother her with my problems.
"Cagalli something wrong?" Milly asked concerned
"No Milly, I just wanted to see when are you free so we could hang out together you know me you ,Lacus and the girls, it's been a while summer's almost ending we haven't spend time together" she answered
"Moo Cagalli you had me there for a sec. Umm well me and Dearka are going to some island for two days or so, I'm free after that" she said happily
Good thing I didn't tell her "Yeah sure I'll be waiting" the blonde said
"Don't let me keep you, go and have fun"
"Bye Cagalli" Milly said "Bye Cags" Dearka added cheerfully before they hung up.
And there was a sound that startled the blonde. Again she heard it Damn stupid stomach I'm hungry. This time a loud noise came out of her "Shut up", deciding it was best to fill it. She went to her kitchen got milk and some cereal ate while watching the news.
At a café near by
Sitting at a table in the corner was Shinn. Sipping his coffee, the ruby eyed boy was thinking about a certain someone he met a while back.
Flashback (not Shinn's just a normal flashback)
Shinn was invited by Kira to a small party, an engagement party. He told Shinn that this would be a good idea since he's new in here, and a good chance to meet people around here. Shinn met Kira during the registration with the course, Kira being the good natured man he is, helped Shinn.
"Not many people would be there but it's a change and most of them if not all go to GSD U" nudging Shinn "Plus you'll get to meet some girls"
Shinn Laughed "Ok, I'll be there".
Shinn followed Kira's instruction to this Dearka's house and now he was standing in front of the door.
Ding Dong
There wasn't much noise but Shinn could hear people chatting happily behind the door. Foot steps approaching and then heard a girl squeak "It must be Asuran"
The door opened revealing a blonde with a smile that could melt any man or so he thought, he didn't get to enjoy for the smile faded when her eyes laid on him. Disappointment. "Guess I'm not the one she's looking for" he thought
Cagalli thought it was Asuran when she ran to the door however he was not there, "not him"
She smiled at the boy.
"Pretty smile but not the same" Shinn thought.
She wanted to step closer, hold up her hands and introduce herself but…
THUD
She fell on him pinning him to the ground with her on top, her face buried in his chest "he smells nice" she opened up her eyes WIDE at the thought.
She pushed herself, her hands now supporting her, tilted her head towards his.
Their eyes met. She wanted to get up but she couldn't she was lost, lost in his eyes.
"Ruby eyes…beautiful...never seen like them before" She said to herself and she saw in them sadness, loneliness.
As Shinn's eyes met the girl's, he was captivated by them. Fiery yet soft.
They would've lingered the way they were longer if it wasn't for an evil friend who interrupted them.
"My my Cagalli cheating on Asuran are we?" she smiled evilly.
Cagalli quickly got up and so did Shinn blushing deep red, she turned to face her brown haired friend and yelled "MILLY!"
She was standing next to the pink one"Ara Cagalli" Who was now eyeing Shinn in way Cagalli didn't like. "Who can blame you he's way cuter that Asuran" she giggled
"LACUS" yelled the blonde at her friend "Stupid friends, note to self get to know Fellay and Abby better might come in handy one day"
She was still blushing turned to face the quiet boy.
He extended his hand to her "Hi I'm Shinn Asuka"
Shaking it "Cagalli Yula Athha" she pointed at her friends glaring daggers at them "That giggling maniac is Lacus Clyne and the …well Miriallia Haww the soon to be Bride…you can call her Milly"
He nodded at them and congratulated Milly.
"Let's get inside" Lacus said. Upon entering, Kira spotted Shinn called out to him
"Over here"
Shinn smiled and nodded at the ladies "excuse me" and walked toward Kira.
Fellay came over to the girls "Who's the new hottie?" eyeing Shinn's behind,
Cagalli felt a sting at the comment but said nothing "God Cagalli you only met him a minute ago and you're jealous..." she said to herself
"That's Shinn Asuka don't know much about him though, Kira invited him" said Lacus.
A cell phone ringing interrupted whatever Cagalli was thinking about. She answered "Asuran. Where are you!"
"Sorry Cagalli I won't make it" he said sadly
"Not again, it's Dearka and Milly's day you have to come" retorted the Blonde, her friends was watching her as her face turns into a frown
"There some things that father need me to do it; I'll come over if I finish earlier. I'm really sorry princess"
"Don't you princess me"
"I'll make it up to you"
"Promise" although not liking the idea of spending this beautiful evening without him, she knew she couldn't say anything that would change his mind.
"I do" he said relieved that she calmed down a bit
"Well don't work too hard" "yeah right like he wouldn't do that"" take care"
"Will do, bye"
With that the conversation ended, the upset Cagalli threw her phone at the sofa.
"Not coming ha?" asked Fellay
"Nope" she replied disappointment clear in her voice
The girls changed the subject to cheer their friend, they chatted.
The small gathering for the next hour went by fine; laughter could be heard, dancing couple in the small hall. The first ones were the bride and groom to be.
Shinn was introduced around the guys. Every once in a while he would spare a glance over Cagalli not aware that there were another pair ocean blue eyes glaring at him for checking out the blonde.
Cagalli was standing by Shiho and Yzak; she just introduced them to each other. It's been a long time since she's seen him on date. She was with him for nearly four years. (Yes oh yes she's his ex). She cared about him a lot but now in a big brother way. While the three of them were talking she felt like someone was staring at her. Turned her head a bit and ruby met amber, she raised her eye brows questioningly at him, obviously Shinn didn't notice that she was now looking at him. She excused herself and went to him.
"You know it's rude to stare" she smiled when she saw him blush
"It's just that" "damn it Shinn, don't embarrass yourself anymore"he thought
"Wai was that cute or not look at how's he's blushing…BAD girl think Asuran think Asuran Think cute cheeks want to pinch them…Snap out of it" she slapped herself mentally "that what?" she said croaking an eye brow.
"You're beautiful" he sighed and what was next surprised him he felt a warm hand against his cheeks and pinch pinch she smiled sheepishly at him.
"Sorry about that just couldn't help it" she giggled at herself. "guess it's punishment for staring… so you go GSD U?"
He nodded with a smile "I heard you're in computer software and engineering"
He nodded again "What the hell is wrong with you can't you speak?" he yelled in his head
She looked at engaged couple "don't they look cute?" again just a nodded
"You're not much of a talker are you?" she pouted
He lowered his lips to her ears and whispered "you make me speechless" his hot breath tingled her skin and made butterflies in her stomach, now it was her turn to blush, He chuckled
"What's funny?"
"You look cute when you blush"
"Asuran…" he always said that to her after doing or saying something he knows would make her face a shade of crimson, her heart ached she missed him but he's not here with.
Shinn noticed how Cagalli was in deep thought about something and how her face changed from happy to sad.
"Cagalli are you ok?" the raven haired asked
Just then Milly and Dearka joined them
"It's nothing I just feel a bit dizzy and a slight headache"
"Liar, you're missing that good for nothing Asuran, I swear if Dearka was the least bit like him he'd be yesterday" Milly thought to herself
Dearka put his hand on her shoulder "Do you need an aspirin or something?" asked her concerned.
"No its ok I just need to get some rest… sorry guys I'm gonna have to leave"
"Sure wish you'd stay longer" said Milly
"I know I'm sorry"
"YZAK" Dearka shouted over the music
"WHAT!" Yzak came over glaring his infamous glare at his best friend for interrupting his sweet chat with Shiho.
"Could you take Cags Home? Since your apartment is closest to her"
Yzak just ignored him "Is everything alright?" his expressions soften when he looked at Cagalli.
Lacus joined them. "Ara leaving already?"
"Everything is fine" Cagalli sighed "I'll take a cab or something… don't worry about me " then she approached the silver hair man and whispered "and you're just getting to know Shiho, I knew you'd like her" she smiled at him
He smiled back when he was just about to tell her again that it's ok and he'll take her home, Shinn cut him "I'll take you if you don't mind"
"I don't" she turned to him
"I don't trust you enough to take her" Yzak glared at the younger male
"Chill Yzak… Shinn where do you live?" the tanned male asked
"Akatsuki, Orb 05" he answered
"Cool I live in the same street too" Cagalli said
"Then it is settled Shinn will take Cagalli home" added Milly.
Yzak scoffed grabbed Cagalli's wrist moved few steps from the bunch "Come on Yzak, he doesn't seem like a bad guy besides" as he let go of her wrist "I'm a big girl, I know how to take care of myself, you're worse than Kira"
He scoffed "be careful"
She kissed his cheek and said in a serious mocking "Hai hai Onii-sama"
He ruffled her hair "Now that's a good girl" he joked, they laughed
While Yzak and Cagalli were having their little talk Lacus and Milly turned back at Dearka and asked concernedly "Are you sure he's over her?"
"Well I think so hasn't talked about her since she started going with Asuran"
"Guess maybe they're just used to each other"
Shinn went to Cagalli "Shall we go?" he said earning him another glare from Yzak "I don't like him, the way he's looking at her"
They said their goodbye's to them and went out the door.
After ten minutes Nicole came to them "Where's Cagalli?...Kira wants her"
"She left a minute ago?" Lacus told him
"Nooo…"
"What!" everyone said in unison
"Asuran was calling her, he was going to tell her he's coming but she didn't answer so he called Kira" the green haired cutie informed (isn't he a cutie yay)
Lacus picked Cagalli's phone from the sofa "She forgot about it"
Yzak snatched the phone from Lacus's hand "Thank you Clyne I shall be returning it to her"
Kira smacked Yzak's head from behind "Easy on my Lacus, she's too delicate Monkey" and wrapped his arm around Lacus's waist protectively. Lacus couldn't help but giggle.
"Shut up Yamato" everyone laughed as the angry Yzak glared at Kira.
End of Flashback (that was a long one)
Shinn lifted his head as he heard the familiar voice in the quiet Café.
End of chapter 3.
I'm so sorry it took me so long to update, I've been busy with college and registration and school started last Sunday, hope you liked the chapter.
I know it doesn't make sense at time, but as the Undead say in Warcraft reign of chaos and frozen throne "All shall be revealed" lol. And the story is definitely Shinn/Cagalli
I'm still mad at Asuran. And it's rated M for future chapters.
Thanks for the reviews.
