Traitorous Lies
Chapter 3: Have You Ever?
By: Candy2323
"Relena, I need to ask you something."
"Yes, what is it Heero?" Heero stood up and motioned the violinist to come. Grabbing Relena's hand and getting down on one knee Heero looked into her eyes.
"Relena, we've been together for sometime now, and it has been the best time of my entire life. You've changed me so much. I can now show more of my emotions. I want to thank you for that the only way I know how. Will you, Relena Dorlian-PeaceCraft, please make me the happiest man on earth by becoming my wife?"
"Oh, Heero, yes I'd love to!" Jumping up, she grabbed him and kissed him. "I've waited for so long."
"Relena," Heero said gently grabbing her chin and pulling her to look into his eyes, "I love you."
"I love you, too." Everyone in the restaurant stood up and clapped as the violinist played soft music. Heero and Relena were completely oblivious, too consumed in each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What's there to be nervous about. You're marring the man you love. Hell, I'd be so excited. I can't wait for Duo to pop the question to me," Hilde said placing Relena's veil onto of her head.
"I know, but I can't help but be a little nervous. Just think," Relena said turning away from the front mirror to face Hilde, "After today, my whole life will change. Instead of being Miss Dorlian-PeaceCraft, I will be Mrs. Yuy."
"And I'd think you'd be excited."
"I am Hilde, it's just, I've never felt this way before. Normally, I know just what I'm doing. I have everything planned out. I know step-by-step every little detail of something. Now, I have no idea about my future. I had it planned out that I was going to be boring Vice Foreign Minister for the rest of my life. But then he came and I welcomed the change. Ever since then, I barely know what I'd to the next minute, much less the next week. It's a little hard to give up the total control and just jump into something, but don't get me wrong, I'm totally welcome for it."
"Look, Relena, you know you love him right," Hilde said walking toward Relena pulling her into a hug.
"Yeah, I love him with all my heart."
"Then what does it matter? Just take each day one by one. Make the most of every day. Live a fulfilled life. I know that's what I'm going to do once I get married. I mean so what if you don't have everything planned out. That's what makes everything so magical and wonderful."
"Yeah you're right. Thanks Hilde. Awesome pep talk."
"Hey, that's what best friends are for."
"Yeah, and I got the best of all friends."
"Damn straight you do! Now come on. We'd better get you to the chapel and not keep Mr. Yuy waiting too long for his bride."
"Yeah." Hilde grabbed Relena's arm and pulled her toward the chapel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you Mr. Yuy take Miss Dorlian-PeaceCraft to be your loving wedded wife. To have and to hold, to love and to comfort, through sickness and in health till death do you part?"
"I do."
"And do you Miss Dorlian-PeaceCraft take Mr. Yuy to be your loving wedded husband. To have and to hold, to love and to comfort, through sickness and in health till death do you part?"
"I do."
"Now, bring the rings." Heero turned to the best man, Duo.
"Here you go, pal," Duo said holding a small blue box. Opening the box, Heero took out a small gold ring with diamonds incrusted all the way around it.
"Relena, I know that we had a shaky start, but with this ring as a symbol of my love for you, I promise you that I will take care of you. I will always be there for you. I will always love you, from now until my dying breath." Slipping the ring onto Relena's ring finger, Heero looked into her eyes and saw nothing but love shining for him.
"Heero, ever since that moment we met on the beach, I've been intrigued by you. Your endless strength, and skill. There was one thing that I noticed right away about you and that as your lack of emotions. I knew you were a kind-hearted man, and I'm glad that you let me help you bring that out. I think I fell in love with you that first moment we met, and now I am ready to spend the rest of my life with you. I will always love you, from now until my dying breath." She placed the gold band onto Heero's ring finger and held his hand as they turned to look toward the priest.
"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Heero looked at Relena while pulling her close to him. Slowing lowering his mouth to hers, he kissed her. A small sweet kissed filled with promises for more later. All around them, people were clapping and cheering, one braided man was throwing rice at them. They, however were completely and totally lost in their own world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After releasing into Relena, Heero collapsed next to her and pulled her onto his chest.
"I love you," he said breathing in the unique smell of lavender and vanilla in her hair.
"I love you, too Heero."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Open your eyes," Heero said. Opening her eyes, Relena looked gasped at the wonderful surprise.
"Oh Heero, it's perfect. And look, it has the white picket fence I told you I wanted."
"I had a feeling you'd like it."
"I love it, Heero," Relena said kissing him. "Come on, let go inside!"
Relena dragged Heero into the house, laughing and smiling saying how wonderful he was, how much she loved him, and what a wonderful first year anniversary present it was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Heero, man, don't do this to her! Just tell her the truth," Duo said.
"Yeah, it's not right, she deserves to know the truth," Quatre added.
"It's not honorable to marry someone you don't love."
"I can't. It'll break her heart. Plus she's been sick lately. She won't understand"
"Heero, did you actually think she would? I mean, how would you feel knowing that the man you married only married you so he could complete his mission," Duo said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ellen… Ellen? Ellen, are you okay?"
"Huh, what?"
"Ellen you spaced out. Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Relena looked up to see the worried, wrinkled face of her boss, Mr. Thornton. Realizing what he said, she immediately brought her hand to her cheeks to feel them.
"Ellen, you don't look so good. Why don't you take the rest of the day off. Get some rest and come back tomorrow when you're better."
"Ok." Walking toward the elevator, Relena pressed the down button and waited. Damn you Heero Yuy! Even in my work you haunt me!
A small ding signaled that the elevator there. Relena stepped into it, pressed the button with a number two on it, and waited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking down at Holly asleep in her crib, Relena couldn't help but feel her heart breaking. Every time she looked at Holly, she was reminded of Heero. Being reminded of him brought back painful memories of their time together. I need to relax, take a nice soothing bubble bath and relax.
Checking to make sure the baby monitor was close by, Relena turned on the radio and stepped into the heated liquid almost instantly feeling better. The soothing sounds of a song came on and Relena closed her eyes and listened.
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tries to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, Have you ever
"This song sounds like my life," Relena thought as she listened to the words
Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever search for words to get you in the heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Relena felt her chest start to hurt again as she thought about how much this song reflected her relationship with Heero. She couldn't help it as a tear slipped down to face.
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care
Relena was now sobbing into her hands as she thought about Heero, their old life, what she thought was their love. And the song only seemed to make her cry harder.
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta do to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Coz baby I can't sleep
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tries to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever
Relena sunk deeper into the bathtub as she cried harder into her hands. She never heard the phone ring as her sobs and the music drowned the noise out.
Oooo, have you ever?
