I woke anew the next morning, placing Athrun vast top on top of me, because for some reason it came of last night. I groggily got up, the space on the bed beside me empty. I walked and hiss as my sprained ankle was hurting me with its after affects. I leaned on the wall and hopped to the washroom. I sat on the waterproof couch inside and saw the swelling of my foot. I placed a medicine on it and wrapped it. I didn't feel it last night and didn't realize that it was sprained. Remind me never to wear high heel on busy day again.

I hopped to the sink and noticed something on my neck. There were bite marks, from someone giving me a hickey or in other words a love-bite. 'Damn' I thought, and Luna and the other were here. I was blushing at the moment for who knows what. I rubbed my neck. I heard it usually takes a few days for these marks to go away.

"Athrun you are so going to get it," I mumbled.

I sighed and ignored to embarrassment I would get and entered to shower, taking out all the stress of yesterday and washing it away. I wore my bath robe and went to the reliable closet. I made a sad face not wanting to choose dumb clothes but I had to wear something. So I dropped my robe leaving my body naked and started choosing, first my lingerie, then heading on toward the tops. I wore a lithe, stretchy knit top pairs a 3/4 sleeve shrug artfully tied over a sleeveless shell, and a wide-leg cropped pant, with comfy slides. I left my half up, half down in a clip, and left to meet Athrun's friends.

I wobbled down, screaming in my head in the searing pain. I stopped half ways down the stairs and sat. I rest the just sat, hearing Athrun and his friends catching up. They were laughing and having a good time. I thought and decided to leave them be. I could go and review my future meeting in the garden.

Getting up and quietly reaching downstairs, the other in the other room. I leaned on the wall for support and went to the office. Grabbing the folder I went quickly and quietly to the garden and picked my cell. I sat under a tree shading me, my legs touching the soft grass, as I scanned through the files. I phoned my office and my secretary picked up.

I told her to arrange a meeting later on in the week, because I wanted to reconsider all my decisions. She arranged it and I hanged. I phoned Lacus and talked to her about her honeymoon. She told me they are back on time form a week form now. I relaxed for a bit and went through the folders, and created a speech of my thoughts and was perfectly ready for that meeting now.

I closed the stuff and relaxed for a bit, and checked my foot. It was coloured in a pretty shade of dark red and purple. I decided to have some breakfast, so I hopped to the kitchen. Oddly no one was there. I grabbed some toast, spread jam on it and ate it. 'Yum, strawberry jam' I thought grabbing a glass of mango juice and eating it all within a few minutes. I realized I hadn't eaten for two days, no wonder I was so hungry. Finishing off I decided to greet everyone. I looked in the around and found no one. I decided to phone Athrun, and decided against it since I was sure he was content with his friends. I thought about today. I was in charge of picking flowers for the wedding. I was sad and kind of depressed that I didn't Athrun once in the morning. I felt a bit of jealousy that his friends had Athrun; I was left here all alone. I shook my head of the bad thought and told myself smiling that Athrun really needed a break from me. I went to the balcony, near one of the hidden parts of the manor to be undisturbed to pick my choice of flowers. There were thousand to flowers and I could only choose a few for the wedding. I got a magazine and sat down on the ground and read. Flipping through the pages I got kind of jaded and aggravated after an hour.

I could really use an ice cream. I heard a car pull, and I saw Athrun and his comrades coming out with smiles on their faces, they must have enjoyed themselves. I felt mad at Athrun and how he left me here all alone. I stood up and went where no one would find me, until I cooled down. I went to the attic, a place no one had been in for years. I sat near the window, with the book in my hand and went through it. The book had been given to me by my father. It had every single species of flower in it and its specific meaning. I kept that book very close to my heart. I flipped through it and saw a flower that I believed symbolized my relationship with Athrun; a camellia a flower that meant perfection, and gratitude. I know how grateful in my life I am to have Athrun and how perfect for us our relationship is with one other.

I saw a Tulip (multicoloured), which meant beautiful eyes like Athrun. I smiled lost in my world. I figured out the flowers I wanted by looking at any that symbolizes us. I found them: A Red rose (Love), Stephanotis (Happiness in Marriage), Tulip (Perfect lover), Bluebell (Everlasting Love), Blue Camellia (You're the flame in my heart), Narcissus (Stay as sweet as you are), Orange Blossom (Purity), Stock (Bonds of Affection), Blue Violet (I'll Always be true), Phlox (Our souls are united), and Daffodil (The sun shines when I'm with you). These ten flowers would symbolize us on our wedding day.

I closed my book. My heart was in a state of fluff in happiness. I stood up limping toward the stairway to the third floor. All I wanted was to give Athrun a kiss at the moment. It was obvious that I wasn't angry at any one of them. It in the middle of the afternoon I checked the time and headed downstairs. It was quiet and I heard the television on. I headed and saw no one there. I guess they went out again, not caring as much if I was alive. I frowned and sat down on the couch the phone rang and I picked up.

"Hello," I said

"Oh Cagalli, you have no idea how much I've been dieing to hear your voice," My Athrun said

'That's great. Goodbye," I said smashing the phone on to the receiver unnoticed that in was still on.

"What does that jerk think of himself, he can just go off with his friend not giving a damn about me, and then phone saying how much he misses me? If he really cared, he would be here. And this stupid foot has been killing all day." I screamed.

"Stupid Television, Stupid Athrun, Stupid foot, Stupid Athrun, Stupid flowers, Stupid Athrun…Stupid everything," I said "And I all I wanted was a kiss from him, a glimpse of his face, a sound of his voice. Is that so much to ask for?"

"And his friends don't even talk to me. Why would they after yesterday, they must hate me. And I picked out the flowers for the wedding and Athrun wasn't even there to see my book." I said

"I sound like a baby." I mumbled "But Athrun listen to this I still love you. I just really miss you."

I picked up the phone to call Athrun and I heard.

"I miss you too dear;" He said "I'm sorry,"

"It's okay, you heard everything didn't you?" I asked

"Yah, how about an evening just the two of us," He asked

"Sorry, my ankle can't handle anymore pressure for the rest of the day," I said

"We're all at the mall and guess what; I just booked our honeymoon, while everyone else was busy. I know you'll love it," He said

"Really, are you going to tell me," I said

"Of course, on the place ride there where and as for what were going to do, you'll see it for yourself." He said

"Okay please come home soon, before I explode in sadness of being alone." I said

"Where were you today anyways?" He asked

"Well in the morning, I thought it be right to leave you alone with your friend to catch up for a while. I ate breakfast; you and everyone else weren't there. I thought you deserved a bit of time away from me. Then you came back and I felt mad at how you didn't phone or anything. I went and hid, then I was deciding on flowers, you have no idea how happy I was when I decided and I rushed to tell you thinking you'd home, and again you're gone. My phone was open you know. You could have at least called," I said.

"I thought you were resting. I am so sorry Cagalli. They kind of preoccupied me today. I feel so bad right now," He said disappointed at himself.

I sighed and felt miserable, making Athrun feel the way he was

"It's okay; I am at fault kind of, anyways come home soon. I am waiting," I said gloomy

"Hey, I'll make it up to you. I promise. I'll be home as soon as I can. Here Luna want to talk to you." He said handing the phone

"Hello Cagalli. Sorry we've been with Athrun for such a long time. It's our first time here and Shinn being inconsiderate has been dragging poor Athrun and us around." She said

"It's alright. You guys take your time, I'll just here." I said lazily

"Do you want us to pick you up; we're going to the Orb monument." She asked

"No, it's quite alright, my ankle in out of commission and I can barely walk anymore." I said cool with them now.

"Oh, I'm sorry. We'll be home fast today and we can all talk and catch up later on," She said disappointed I wasn't coming, but came back with another way for us to talk.

"Sure, later we'll talk. Take care of Athrun." I said.

"Of course, all of us will take very good care of your fiancée." She said

"Bye," I said hanging up.

Now what was I going to do. It was early in the evening. I ate a snack and just lay outside like always enjoying the sky. I could were a bit orange, with purple and red streaks. I dozed off and took a nap.

I woke up to the sounds of a car entering the driveway; I was in the garden a couple of feet away form it. My eyes were still closed and I heard people getting out. I was hidden behind a bush. I checked my watch it read 6 in the evening. I sat up. I shrieked as I put weight on my swollen foot. That brought attention to the people exiting the car. I sighed. I got up and tried to stand up. With difficultly I did and painfully walked, if you could call it to them. I saw Athrun rush towards me and support me. He lifted my bridal style and I greeted everyone and plenty of hugs from Luna, Meyrin and Stellar. We all entered the manor. We sat in the living room and caught up till late at night. Shinn and Stellar were engaged, as the same with Rey and Luna, plus Meyrin was going out with her boyfriend Auel.

I learned a lot about there lives and I invited them to the wedding. I was in Athrun's arms. I felt a throbbing in my foot again. I screamed in frustration.

"What happened," Athrun asked.

I pouted and said "I swear if this foot stings again, I'll cut if out without care,"

Everyone looked a bit disturbed at my outburst. Athrun told everyone they'd by back in a moment. He took me to the dining room and placed me on the table, unwrapping the bandages, he looked at my foot, bending it and moving. I complained in pain whenever he did it.

"Cagalli, I think its broken." He said

"What," I said

"You pushed it too much today, probably breaking it at one point." He said.

"Just what I need, a hospital," I said falling down lying on the table.

"Don't worry; since it's not severe I can fix it. It will hurt. The main reason it hurts so much it because you kind of displaced it." He said

"No not that again, I died the last time." I said

"I'm here, you can kill me afterwards." He said chuckling placing his hands in position to snap my bone back into place.

I fisted my hand and waited for the pain, it came in vibe of electrical jolt throbbing waves. I whimpered as he finished and he soothed me. As the pain subdued I remembered the mark on my neck for this morning. I pushed him away and folding my arms.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"Look clearly at my neck and you'll see another reason why I was angry at you," I huffed

He looked and clearly blushed at the mark.

"It seems you got too much form my neck last night," I said

He looked down embarrassed at how hard he bit me. I smiled as he looked down and remembered how good it actually felt. I used my hand and lifted his head, to see his eyes.

"However, it wasn't as if I didn't like it," I said smirking

He grinned forcefully and with full passion I gave him something I wanted to do all day so desperately. I pulled his head down to meet his lips and kissed his as softly as I could.

"I love you," I spoke, my voice a whisper, as if I was giving waking up from a fantasy.

I broke from him, and he kissed my nose. I giggled as we returned to the sleeping bunches of couples, each sleeping in each other arms, in front of the television.

"Aw, they feel asleep." I said

"They remind me of us," He said

"When are the leaving," I asked

"The day after tomorrow," He replied

"Aw, do you think I can go touring with them," I said

"Yes, if you keep of that foot tonight," He said "If not, I'll have the pleasure of carrying you,"

"Yes, let's go to bed," I said yawning

"For sure, after this," he carried us up placed me on the bed and moved down to me lip and kissed them igniting them with passion that had been waiting all day. I returned with rampant hunger. I moved closer, hooking my arms around his neck as he griped my waist. His tongue trailed form me lips, to my ear, and my neck where he bit yet again. I moaned hi name, running my finger from his hair to his mouth-watering chest, pulling him to me with force. He teased me with light kisses before breaking off.

We both breathed hard

"That was nice." I said

"Very..."He replied

We slept I reminded myself to tell Athrun about my flower, but that would be tomorrow, I thought sleeping of into my dream world.
