XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXChapter 17: Special OccasionXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One month later…
"Cagalli! You better be ready by now" Athrun called standing in the doorway of Cagalli's hospital room.
"Yeah, just let me get one last thing!" she shouted from the bathroom. A few moments later Cagalli emerged from the bathroom carrying a small knapsack.
"You got everything?"
"Yes" she said, smiling widely.
"Okay then, lets go" Athrun said, gently taking her hand and leading her to the front entrance of the hospital, were a cab was waiting for them.
The cab dropped them off in front of there apartment. Athrun paid the cab driver and walked up the stairs with Cagalli. Cagalli took her keys from her back pocket and unlocked the door.
"Its good to be home again" Cagalli said, kicking off her shoes at the front door and walking down the hall to the living room.
"Wow! This place is a mess!" Cagalli exclaimed, looking at the room around her which was extremely dusty.
"I'll go get the cleaning supplies" she said, dropping he knapsack and walking towards the kitchen but was quickly blocked off by Athrun.
"No no no… you go unpack, I'll get the cleaning stuff." Athrun said, pointing over at the knapsack that was on the floor.
"Okay then" Cagalli said, picking up her knapsack and walking in the bedroom. She came back into the living room to see that Athrun has successfully found all the cleaning supplies.
"Lets start" They both said the same time.
A few hours later they finished cleaning and decided to treat themselves to some well deserved ice cream. Later that day they both went out and got groceries since everything in there fridge had gone bad. After they finished unpacking there groceries, Cagalli flopped on the couch and sighed contently. Athrun sat down beside her and yawned heavily.
"I love you" she said softly leaning her head on his shoulder.
" I love you too" he said wrapping his arms around her protectively.
Cagalli woke up a few hours later to see that both Athrun and her had fallen asleep. Cagalli gently removed Athrun's arms from around her and walked into the kitchen to get a quick drink of water and heading off to the bedroom to get ready for bed before walking out into the living room to wake Athrun.
"Athrun…wake up" Cagalli said, gently shaking him awake.
"Huh?" he said groggily.
"You shouldn't be sleeping on the sofa, you'll end up having a sorry back tomorrow" she said, smiling sincerely before walking back down the hall and disappearing into the bedroom. A few minutes later Athrun walked into the bedroom to find that Cagalli was already asleep. He slipped under the comforters and laid there pondering his though for a while before dozing off to sleep.
Cagalli woke up the next morning to find Athrun gone, but a note in his place. She read the note quickly, before getting up and walking to the kitchen to get herself a cup of tea. After putting water on the stove to boil she sat at the kitchen table thinking about various things that were on her mind. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't notice that the water was rapidly boiling or that Athrun had even returned.
"Your water is boiling" Athrun said, standing in the doorway.
"Oh! Thanks" she said, quickly snapping back to reality and rushing to turn off the stove.
"Did you just get back?" she said, pouring her and Athrun some tea.
"Yeah" he said, sitting down at the table.
"Do you have any plans for tonight?" he asked, slowly sipping his tea.
"No, why?"
"I was just wondering if you would like to go out to dinner tonight, just the two of us." He said, sipping his tea once more.
"Sure but where can we go."
"I have it planned already, it'll be a surprise" he said smiling, drinking the last of his tea and standing up to put his dishes away in the sink.
"Okay" Cagalli smiled as she continued to slowly sip her own tea.
BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG !
"I'll get that" Athrun said politely before walking out of the kitchen to the living room to get the telephone.
"Hello, Athrun Zala speaking."
"Hi Athrun, this is Miriallia"
"Oh hi, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing great. Could I talk to Cagalli for a minute?"
"Sure let me go get her" Athrun said, setting the phone and walking back to the kitchen.
"Cagalli, Miriallia is on the phone for you"
"Okay, Thanks" Cagalli said, standing up and walking out into the living room.
"Hey Mir"
"Hey Cagalli, how are you doing"
"Good, yourself?"
"I'm doing great. Say, do you have any plans for today?"
"Yeah, but its just for dinner."
"Oh, well do you think you have time to get fitted for your bridal dress today?"
"Uh…sure… when do you want me to come over?"
"Anytime would be great"
"Okay then, I'll be over in a little bit"
"Till then Bye"
"Bye"
Cagalli hung up the phone and walked back into the kitchen to find that Athrun sitting at the table, munching away at a piece of toast.
"I have to go out for a bit, do you need me to pick up anything on the way back?" Cagalli asked.
"Yeah, could you stop by the grocery store, were out of milk already." He said, holding up the empty carton.
"Okay, I'll pick some up on the way back" she said walking down the hall and disappearing into the bedroom to get changed out of her PJ's.
She came out a few minutes later to see Athrun by the door waiting for her.
"I'll be back later" she said, slipping on her shoes.
"Okay, make sure your back in time for dinner"
"I will" she said, leaning over and kissing him on the cheek before walking out the door. She walked quickly over to Miriallia's apartment and rung the doorbell. She stood there waiting patiently for Miriallia to answer. Then door flew open, reveaingl Lacus, Shiho and Miriallia who were giggling away at something.
"What are you two doing here?" Cagalli asked, surprised to see Lacus and Shiho.
"You didn't think you were the only bride's maid for my wedding, did you?" Miriallia said, wagging a finger playfully in front of Cagalli.
"No but you never said anything about them coming" Cagalli retorted.
"Oh well, shall we be going?" Lacus said cheerfully.
"Let's go!" Shiho shouted happily, before grabbing her shoes and coat and running out the door.
"She seems happy" Cagalli said slowly as she waited for Lacus and Miriallia patiently.
"Yeah, I wonder what's on her mind." Lacus said walking out the door, soon followed by Miriallia. Together the four of them walked to the dress shop. Miriallia and Lacus went inside while Cagalli and Shiho stop dead in there tracks and were now staring wide eyed at store sign.
"Dress….Shop" they both said.
"Are you guys coming? Miriallia asked, poking her head out of the door, wondering why either of them hadn't come in yet.
"Yeah…" They both said slowly. Together both of them slowly made there way in to join Miriallia and Lacus were talking to a store clerk who was wear nothing more then a tube top and a skirt that was WAY to short.
By the time Shiho and Cagalli made there way over to Miriallia and Lacus the clerk had disappeared into the back room to bring out some dresses. She came back with a hot pink laced floor length dress. Cagalli's and Shiho's mouth dropped at the sight of the horrific dress. Many protests and dresses later Miriallia had finally found the perfect dress for her bride's maid. It was a plain floor length strapless dress that was a pale purple. Cagalli quickly walked to the grocery store to pick up the milk Athrun had asked and walked back to her apartment. She walked in to find Athrun lying on the couch watched television.
"How'd it go" he asked, not moving from his current position.
"It was fun, trying on dresses for hours on end" she said sarcastically, disappearing into the kitchen to put the mulk away and walking back out with a can of coke in hand.
"I'm sure it wasn't that bad"
"Oh yes it was. The clerk was obsessed with pink, lace, and revealing clothes. "Cagalli said, shivering at the thought of the hideous dresses"
"Oh, you might want to start getting ready soon" he said sitting upright and looking down at his watch.
"Okay" she said throwing her can in the garbage before vanishing into the bedroom to get a shower. She decided to wear a dark red button down long sleeve shirt with a pair of black dress pants since she had no idea how fancy the restaurant was going to be. She walked out into the living room to see that Athrun was already ready and waiting for her.
"You look nice" he said, smiling widely.
"Thanks" she said, blushing lightly.
"Your welcomed, now let's get going" he said, gently taking her hand and leading her outside and down the sidewalk until they reached a Italian restaurant. A waiter showed them there table that Athrun had reserved earlier that day. The waitress came back a few minutes later and took there orders and came back almost immediately with there food.
"Is something the matter?" Cagalli asked, breaking the silence.
"You haven't said one word to me since we got here." She said taking a forkful of her pasta.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry" he said, snapping back to reality.
After dinner Athrun and Cagalli took a detour though the park on there way back to there apartment.
"Wow, the moon is beautiful tonight" she said, sitting on a nearby park bench and looking up at the moon.
"Yeah it is" Athrun said sitting down beside her and looking up at the moon to.
"Umm… this might be a bit sudden but… Will You Marry Me?" he said , now kneeling on one knee and pulling a small white box from his pocket and opening it to reveal a sapphire ring.
