Chapter 18
Hi everybody!!! Thanks all of those that reviewed.
Treize slowly walked along Lady Une. They were heading towards plaza where Treize was supposed to give a speech. Lady Une wore a short black skirt and red long sleeve blouse. Treize wore a black button-up shirt and a dark blue pair of pants. They looked really cute together. "Most of the parents seem happy with their children." He said suddenly, breaking the silence. "Yes, every parent would be proud of their children." She answered quietly. Trieze smiled in the few months that he had known Miss Une, he had noticed that she was a very silent woman. She only spoke when spoken to or when she needed to say something important. She was intelligent and knew how to conduct herself.
It intrigued him why she wasn't married or why she didn't even have a boyfriend. "May I ask you a personal question?" he asked. She turned to look at him with her big large brown eyes. She nodded. "Why aren't you married yet?" he asked. She seemed to hesitate. "Because I haven't found the one yet." She answered truthfully.
"I see marriage as something sacred and I don't want to rush myself into something that would later on fail." Treize was astounded by her answer. "And I don't have time to go on dates, that explains the no boyfriend part." She said chuckling. Treize couldn't help, but chuckle. "and why aren't you married yet?" she asked.
Treize grinned childishly. "I haven't found a woman that could tame me yet." He said mischievously. At this Miss Une broke out into laughter. Her laughter was sweet and quiet. And Treize loved every minute of it. They were now in the gardens. "You have no shame." She said after laughing her heart out.
"Yeah, I know." He said plucking a rose. "So what do you say my lady, would you like to try your luck?" he asked handing her the rose. He made sure that there were no thorns. Treize knew that he was putting himself out there, but if his assumptions were right. She would accept his offer. And besides he really wanted to get to know her. She was so different form the other women that he had dated. She was simple and gracious.
To say that she was shocked would be an understatement. She looked questioningly at him. "Come on my lady I don't bite." He said winking. She felt as her cheeks burned up. She was actually blushing. She decided to throw caution to the wind. She smiled and accepted the rose. "It would be my pleasure." She said smiling. "You will not regret it." He said taking her hand and kissing it. "Now shall we continue?" he asked offering his arm. "Of course." She answered smiling. He smiled back as they continued walking. Things were looking quite interesting.
Ana was nervous as she walked next to Sergey. She didn't really know what he would say to her. She took a quick glance at him, he wasn't looking at her. He was looking straight ahead as he led her. "Sergey where are we going?" Ana asked getting a bit curious. "Somewhere that we can talk and that we won't be disturbed." He said smiling at her. Ana nodded, even though he wasn't looking at her anymore. She kept quiet as she was led into the gardens. She was assaulted by the scent of fresh roses. She took a deep breath and couldn't help, but smile. "Here we are." He said motioning to a white marble bench. Sergey sat down and motioned for her to sit down next to him.
Ana sat silent as she wondered if she was suppose to start the conversation. She was about to say something when Sergey spoke. "When are you going to tell him?" Ana almost fell from the bench. "What?!" she yelled. "Tell who, what?" She asked. "Come on Ana." Sergey whispered. Ana looked at him as he had grown a second head. "What's his name again?" "Trowa?"
Ana couldn't help, but blush. "What about Trowa?" she asked, afraid to look at Sergey. She was startled when he took her hand in her hand. She turned to look at him with large honey-brown eyes. "You really like him." He said. Ana could see that it hurt him to say those things. In some sense he was giving her up. "Sergey..I." He silenced her with a finger on her lips. "I know you better, then anyone." He said. "I can see the way you look at him, the way he looks at you." Ana blushed when he said this.
"You must tell him." He said as he looked at the roses that were around them. "I can't." she whispered. "And why not?" Sergey asked standing up and picking a red rose. "Because it's difficult." Ana's head snapped up when she heard him actually chuckle. "What's so funny?" she asked pouting "You are." Ana growled and turned her head away. He gently placed the rose in her hand. He had made sure to remove all the thorns. "Why are you doing this?" she asked. "Because even though I know you will never care for me the way I want; you're still my friend." He said smiling at her. The rose was forgotten as Ana launched herself at him, hugging him for all she was worth. "Thank you." She whispered in his ear.
"Ana, I need to breathe." Sergey said as he was practically being suffocated. "Oops." She said releasing him and giggling. "So now how are you going to tell him?" he asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh no." Ana said taking a step back. "Oh yes." He said smiling and picking up her forgotten rose. "I have the perfect idea" He said. Only one thought crossed her mind when she saw him smile. 'I'm in deep shit.'
Heero awoke to a warm feeling next to him. He slowly opened his dark blue eyes to be met with a beautiful sight. There next to him lay Relena, her long blond hair was fanned around her and she had her face buried in his chest. For once he felt truly content. He didn't even know when his parents left and he was happy. He didn't need them. It was already late afternoon. The sun was already setting. So he guessed that the parents must have gone home already. He smiled when he saw her beginning to stir.
She slowly opened her clear blue eyes to look at him. "Hello." She said smiling. He smiled back and pulled her closer to him so that he was nuzzling her neck. "Slept well?" he asked. "Uhum." She said. She gently pushed herself away to look into his eyes. "Are you okay?" she asked concerned. Heero couldn't help, but smile. He could see the concern in her eyes. She was so easy to read, all of her emotions played so openly on her face. Unlike him that was thought to always maintain a serious face and never so emotions. For showing emotions, meant that you were weak. And he wasn't. However ever since he met Relena, he had been changing. With the others he was still the same Heero, but with her he was more open. And he didn't regret it.
"Heero?" she asked, again when he didn't answer her. "Yes, I'm fine." He said gently kissing the palm of her hand. "I think we should get up now." She said sitting up. "Why?" he asked lying on his side and looking really gorgeous, Relena thought. "For I want to do something fun." She said winking at him. "Does that mean that I'm not fun?" he asked, feigning hurt. "I didn't say that, Yuy." She said sticking out her tongue at him. "If you don't stick that back in your mouth I might eat it." He said playfully, his eyes suddenly becoming much darker. Relena cried out and jump away when Heero reached for her. She giggled and stuck her tongue at him, before running to his door.
Unfortunately for her when she opened the door, she wasn't watching where she was going and caused her to land on top poor Wufei. "Get off!" He yelled, his voice low and dangerous. Relena felt herself being pulled up by Heero. However Heero had to smirk when he saw the blush on Wufei's face. "What do you want Wufei?" Heero asked his cold mask back in place. "I'm here just to inform you that we're going to a karaoke bar." He said scrunching up his nose. "Really?" Wufei nodded. "And who exactly are going?" Heero asked, a bit curious. "Hilde, Dorothy, Cathy, Anastasia, Sergey, Tomiko, Samantha, Kevin, Trowa, Duo, Relena, me and you." Relena's eyes went wide. She just stood up. She didn't know anything about going to a karaoke bar. "So I advice you two to get ready, we'll be leaving at six." He said turning around and walking. Relena was about to say something when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "You can change here if you want to." Heero said smirking. "You wish." She said quickly giving him a kiss on the cheek. "See you later." She said, before walking to the front door and walking out of it.
The karaoke-bar was packed with people, especially with some students of the school. Anastasia frantically looked around. She couldn't sing now. Sergey sensing her distress gently squeezed her hands. "You'll do just fine." He whispered in her ear. She gently took a seat next to Sergey as they watched a young man sing his heart out for a girl. Unfortunately he wasn't a good singer. "Damn, he really sucks." Duo said, earning him a punch from Hilde. "I think it's quite romantic that he dares to go on stage to sing for her." Hilde said with hearts in her eyes.
"Ana you look a little pale." Samantha said noticing the worried look on her face. "I'm fine." she said sipping from her Pepsi. Samantha decided to drop the subject and began talking with Sergey, who for some reason was getting along great with her. Ana smiled maybe, she could pull some strings and get those two together. She raised her face to see Trowa looking at her. She smiled at him, before she directed her gaze to the stage. Apparently no one was going to sing for the moment. She didn't know what possessed her, but she suddenly stood up. "Where are you going?" Cathy asked. "She's going to sing." Sergey answered smirking, she shot him a glare, before she slowly began walking to the stage.
"I never knew she sang." Quatre answered truthfully. "Yep, she sings quite well." Dorothy answered, while looking on. "Go ANA!!!" Duo yelled a she stood on the stage. He whistled as she smiled. "She's quite brave to sing in front of so many people." Kevin said as he looked around. However it seemed that many of the guys were very entranced with the girl on the stage. The place was quiet as all of them waited for her to begin. "She better not screw up." Wufei said drinking from his beer. (Hey, the guys are all above 18, so basically they can drink ) "Ooh, Wufei I didn't know you cared." Tomiko said winking. Wufei snorted and mumbled something in Chinese that is better not translated.
"Guys, just shut up and let's watch." Relena answered. Heero send them all a death glare making them silent immediately. Trowa on the other hand was observing the brunette on the stage. She was nervously chewing her lowerlip as her eyes scanned the crowd. She looked so cute, he thought. But he quickly banished those thoughts as she watched Sergey, cheer her on. He had seen them holding hands today. It seemed that he had taken to long to tell her his feelings. They seemed so happy together. He felt his heart break a bit more when he saw her smile at Sergey. A part of him was jealous and the other part of him was glad for her. She was a sweet person and she deserved someone that cared for her. And Sergey seemed to care for her very much. He sighed as he directed his gaze towards her. She looked so… He couldn't find a word to describe her. He just hoped that he could at least be her friend.
Anastasia swallowed hard as she thought again, about what for song she was going to sing. She smiled as she thought who had encouraged her to do this. "Sergey." She whispered. Her eyes scanned the crowd and she sure enough she spotted him; he was giving her a thumb's up. She smiled as she tried to stay calm. She knew that there was no turning back. She stood still as the lights dimmed. 'It's now or never.' She thought as the first strings of guitar were heard. She closed her eyes as she listened to the music. 'Just remember why you are doing this.' Just thinking that clamed her. Her face took a serene look and she let herself be guided by the music.
The others watched interested as Anastasia was standing on the stage. She seemed quite nervous. However that was soon replaced by serenity. All the nervousness seemed to melt away. She looked confident. All of them gasped as the light turned on. Ana's eyes snapped open and she began singing.
I cannot help it
I couldn't stop it
If I tried
The same old heartbeat
Fills the emptiness
I have inside
And I've heard
That you can't fight love
So I won't complain
'Cause why would
I stop the fire
That keeps me going on?
Her voice sounded clear through the whole room; her whole body moving to the beat of the music. She was indeed a good singer. The lights around her made her eyes, almost seem like a golden color. Nevertheless not even how much she moved around on stage, her gaze was locked with Trowa's. He wasn't looking away. He watched her intently as the words came out of her mouth.
'Cause when there's youI feel whole
And there's no better
Feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be
In love with you
Ana ran her fingers through her hair as she swayed her hips from side to the other. Her cinnamon brown hair locks flying around her. Trowa wasn't the only one that could not look away. Some of the students that were there kept whistling and cheering her on. She looked exquisite, with her strapless baby pink top and white pair of baggy pants. However the brunette only had attention for Trowa. She winked at him, making Trowa blush. He couldn't understand, but she seemed to have changed on stage. She was bolder and lot sexier.
Turn out the lights nowTo see is to believe
I just want you near me
I just want you here with me
And I'd give up
Everything only for you
It's the least that I could do
The light around her gave her an ethereal look. Trowa felt as everything stopped around him and she was the only there, her and her enchanting honey-brown eyes that seemed to call to him. He felt as his throat went dry. And those words that she was singing. Was she singing what she felt? He just wished that it was true and that she was singing those words for him.
'Cause when there's you I feel whole
And there's no better
Feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be
In love with you
And I feel you holding me
He watched as she wrapped an arm around herself. How he wished he was able to hold her. He wanted to go up there and tell her what he felt. He sighed when he knew that he couldn't. Why was he afraid? As listening to his inner-question, she sang a part of the song that suited his mood.
Why are we afraidTo be in love?
To be loved
I can't explain it
I know it's tough
To be loved
And I feel you holding me
She was looking him straight in the eyes. A sincere smile playing on her face. Trowa felt as his whole being warmed up. But wasn't she with Sergey or was he wrong? Did he still have a chance. "Hey, Trowa!" Duo yelled when he saw his friend being so entranced with the girl. However he had to admit that she was beautiful and he did recognize that look on his friend's face. He knew what that look was, for he often had the look on his face when he looked at Hilde. Trowa was in love with the young girl. Duo chuckled as he turned to look at the show. Trowa had better tell her.
Oh, ohAnd when there's you
I feel whole
And there's no better
Feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love
Yes, I'd rather be in love
Oh, I'd rather be
In love with you
And I feel you holding me
Oh
The last words of the song died down and Ana bowed. She blushed as she saw everyone stand up and applaud her. She felt as her cheeks turned red. Sergey was smiling that smug smile at her. She wanted to kill him. However the one that caught her attention was Trowa. He looked straight at her with those emerald green eyes. She couldn't help, but feel a bit self-conscious under his gaze. She carefully stepped down form the stage and proceeded towards her friends. "That was great." Duo said winking at her. She smiled as she sat down. "Want to tell us for who you sang that song?" Dorothy said with a mischievous gleam in here eyes. "Umm…um." For once in her life Ana didn't know what to say. "I bet it's for Sergey." Trowa said looking straight at her.
"What?!" she yelled. She stood up clenched and unclenched her fists. She couldn't believe it. She put herself out there and Trowa thought that she was doing it for Sergey. She wanted to smack him, but she restrained herself. She sighed as she felt as she was going numb. Maybe he didn't want to think that the song was for him. She had done this for nothing. "I'm leaving." She said excusing herself and walking away. She took one last glance at Trowa, before she exited the bar. He didn't show any kind of emotion on his face. Ana could have sworn that he looked like a statue.
Everyone was surprised by Ana's outburst. However they decided to brush it away and went to chatting among themselves. Trowa sighed as he took a sip from his drink. "You sure know how to screw things up." Sergey said looking at Trowa. Trowa raised his face to look at him. "What do you mean?" he asked annoyed. "Was I the one she was looking at the whole time?" he asked, glaring at him. "How dense can you be?" It was then that Trowa saw his mistake. "I've got to go." He said standing up and practically running out of the door.
She couldn't believe it. She did all of this for nothing. She rested her head on the cool wooden door as she tried to fight back the tears that wanted to fall. She shook her head. She wasn't someone to cry and she wasn't going to start right now. Certainly not for a guy. Yet it hurt like hell. She knew that she had to get over this. That's why she decided to push those thoughts aside. She took out her key and was about to open the door when she heard someone call her name. "Anastasia!"
She froze as she heard the voice. She knew who it was, but she didn't want to see him. She stubbornly kept looking at the door, even though when she heard his footsteps coming closer. "Ana." The voice said now softer. He was behind her; she could feel the warmth of his body. "Please Ana look at me." She didn't though. She froze when she felt him wrap his arms around her waist and pull her towards him. "I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear.
"Please look at me." She couldn't deny it anymore. She slowly turned around and looked at him. His emerald eyes were soft and looked at her with a emotion that she had never seen before. "Trowa?" she asked uncertain. "Were you singing that song for me?" he asked. She lowered her face, so she didn't have to look in his eyes. She was afraid of what she might see in them. Trowa didn't give her a choice though. He gently hooked his fingers under her chin and raised her face to look at him. "Ana, answer me please."
Ana slowly nodded and felt her cheeks grow red. Trowa stayed silent, she took that as a rejection. She unfortunately began babbling like an idiot. "I understand if you don't feel the same way." "I just wanted you to…" She was cut off by Trowa's soft lips pressed to hers. She froze for the second time tonight. Her eyes were wide as she watched Trowa's expression. His eyes were closed as he seemed so happy. His lips were brushing lightly against hers. It felt almost like rose-petals. She slowly melted into the kiss. Closing her eyes she let the sensation of the kiss take over.
Trowa felt a shiver go down his spine, when she began kissing him back. He could feel her uncertainness and her shyness and he couldn't help, but think that made her cute. He pulled her closer to him as he deepened the kiss. It was more then she had expected. It was her first kiss and she was being kissed by Trowa. He slowly broke the kiss to look into her eyes. "Does that answer your question about if I feel the same way?" he asked with a smile on his face. "You're unbearable." She said playfully punching him on the arm, causing him to chuckle at her. "So would you sing again for me?" he asked playfully at her. He still held her in his arms. "Not in a million years." She said poking him. He chuckled at her childish antics.
"Trowa, what do you think Stephanie will do when she finds out about us?" Ana said looking up with a serious expression on her face. "Well, she'll probably blow a vein." "And then try to murder you." "Trowa!" she yelled. "Who cares, as long as you with me you'll be safe." He said brushing a strand if hair behind her ear. "You know you're good with words." She said giggling. "Of course, how else would I woo you?" He said. "You'd better get going." She said pushing him away. "Really and here I was thinking I could spend the night."
"Trowa!" she yelled, her cheeks turning bright red. "See you." He said giving her a chaste kiss on the lips. With that he turned around and walked away in the darkness of the night. Ana watched him, till he disappeared out of her eyesight. She then quickly opened her door and walked inside. She slid down against the door. Everything seemed surreal. She pinched her cheek, making sure that she wasn't asleep. She winced when she felt the pain shoot through her cheek. Yep, she was awake. A big goofy smile appeared on her face as she picked herself up and walked toward her bedroom. She was skipping like a little child, but she could care less right now. She was in her own little world. The girls were going to freak when they found out. She couldn't wait to tell Cathy.
