Five Pilots and a Girl

CHAPTER TWELVE



"Lizzy, I want to know why are you afraid of me. I could swear you are more afraid when you see me than when you faced Heero today. Every time I get near you, you always put a distance between us. I always feel the invisible wall you put up. Why Lizzy? Why me? I want to know you better Lizzy. I want you . I want you to know that I ."

Lizzy held her breath. What on earth is Quatre talking about? She could feel his own chest against her with the way they are positioned in the sofa and she could feel his heartbeat is beating faster than hers.

She then dared to look into his eyes and almost wished she hadn't done so. His face a mere two inches from her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Q-Quatre, what are you -"

But Lizzy never had the chance to finish her question as Quatre quickly swooped down and claimed her lips with his own. Lizzy was in a state of shock as Quatre tried to pry open her lips with his tongue. But as realization hits her, she then tried to break away by pushing him off her. But in the process, Quatre had managed to pin her down on the sofa with both their feet on the floor. He held her head while his other arm went around her waist drawing her closer to him.

Why, why her? First it was Heero, and now. and now Quatre. Would Quatre do this? Is she dreaming? But Quatre is in love with Trowa!

Lizzy then became aware as Quatre invaded her mouth with his tongue. Lizzy felt the same electricity she felt when Heero brushed his body against her. What was that feeling? Then suddenly, she started feeling rather than thinking as she responded with the kiss. She doesn't know how her hands had suddenly crept up from behind Quatre as they drew him closer to her. She tried to mimic what Quatre was doing to her with her tongue thus eliciting a moan from Quatre. Lizzy could feel Quatre's hand creeping inside her shirt cupping one of her breast. She felt her moan died in Quatre's lips.

Just then, they heard a thud. Quatre, having more of a reflex of a gundam pilot, immediately went up leaving Lizzy wondering if that was all a dream or not.

Then she saw them. Quatre was trying to help Duo up. By the looks of it, Duo was clearly pissed off. "Just leave me alone!" Duo almost shouted at poor Quatre. Lizzy blushed looking at the way Quatre's face seems to be flushed with what had just happened to them a moment ago.

"Look Duo," Quatre said, "we told you already not to come down yet. You have a very bad limp."

"Geez Winner, if you have fed me then I wouldn't be down here limping!" He threw icy looks on Quatre's direction. "Did you forget that the kitchen is downstairs? Sorry if I disturbed you both!" With that, he limped his way towards the kitchen leaving behind a furiously blushing Quatre.

Lizzy tried hard not to look into Duo and Quatre's eyes. She tried to get past Quatre in the stairway but Quatre held one of her wrist. He pulled her to him but Lizzy blocked him with her hands. "No Quatre. Please don't do this."

Quatre sighed and let her go. Lizzy quickly ran to her room and slam the door. A click was heard. She knew that Wufei will not be around for another day or so so that means she can lock the door. She dashed for the bed. She knew it wasn't right to leave a very irate Duo to Quatre but she doesn't want to see them both. Let him take care of Duo. It was his fault that Duo is angry with him.

Just then, she realized why could Duo be possibly pissed off. The guy is also in love with Quatre. Of all the double whammy in this world! Wait till Trowa hears this. It would mean war. She then wondered what would have happened if she just told them the truth. Maybe she wouldn't be wondering at that moment on how she could have quietly messed up the lives of the pilots. She can't help wondering just how on earth could Heero and Quatre be attracted to her. To her! She is nothing more than a dirty gundam mechanic for crying out loud. It's not as if she is like a bright and shining star..

".You are like sunshine in that place. And those boys who have probably lost their faith will turn to you for light. And that light is something, I feared, might be taken to you by force if you're not willing to give it."

That was what Dr. Reeds had told her before he left for Earth. It had been months since he had talked to her and boy does she wants to talk to him right now. He is like a father to her. What she needs right now is a good father-and-daughter talk.

Oh man, now she is beginning to understand what the doctor had been saying to her. True, she hasn't seen much death compared to the gundam pilot that is why she is much more innocent to them. She is the usually the guidance councilor of the group (actually more to Duo, Quatre and Trowa). She tried to refrain from killing people and stayed on the background as much as possible. Heero, he probably did that to shut her up but Quatre... Looks like distancing herself from him only made him more attracted to her. Attracted? Geez, what a weird thought. All of them are gays for crying out loud. All except for Wufei though from time to time she suspected that the Shenlong pilot has a secret crush on the shinigami. She smiled a little remembering how she will seduce him as taught by Duo from time to time just to see his nose bleeds. Then Duo would appear with a camera on hand. Then she fell asleep due to the physical exhaustion of rescuing Duo and the emotional turmoil that she knew she had to deal with for the days to come. But on the back of her mind, she knew that all secrets are bound to be revealed. When would that time come?
