Chapter 6

Athrun picked Cagalli up around 5 o'clock for their second date. He examined her from up to bottom. Cagalli was annoyed with that and asked irritatingly, "What are you looking at?"

"So you are wearing a skirt? I am so lucky I could see it." Athrun said charmingly, but she ignored it.

"Now let me tell you, I am not wearing this skirt for you. It's because Kira told our parents about the date and my mom forced me to wear this!" She said annoyingly.

"Remind me to thank him later, "he grinned at her.

"Remind me also to kill him later." She replied back as Athrun chuckled and she continued, "So where are we going now?"

"You will know later. And you will not leave me again like the other day, I've learned my lesson."

He led her to his car, and started the engine. She kept silent in the car and studied the surrounding around it, and where he stopped in front of a big house, now she realized that they went to Athrun's house. The car went inside. When the gate opened they parked the car in the garage.

"So we will be having dinner at your house?" She said while Athrun led her to the living room.

A middle-aged woman with the blue hair descended the stairs hurryingly. She came toward them and greeted Cagalli politely, "Hello, I am Athrun's mother, Lenore Zala, and you are Cagalli right?" she said excitedly, "You are so pretty."

Cagalli stared at Athrun who only shook his head and she replied nervously, "Thank you Mrs. Zala, I am very glad to meet you also."

"Oh forgive me, but I am so excited, it is the first time Athrun brings his girlfriend to his home. And Athrun you better accompany her while I prepare dinner."

"Where is the maid?" Athrun asked his mother.

"She went away for a while." She replied him and disappeared into the kitchen.

While Athrun offered a seat to Cagalli, a wind came through the open window and blew her skirt revealing her underpants. Cagalli cursed quietly while she put a hand on the skirt.

Athrun laughed at her and she said angrily, "Close that damn window." He closed the window obediently and chuckled, "Nice underpants you wore and green suits you better."

Cagalli's face turned red with embarrassment while Athrun laughed at her.

"Stop laughing, " she went to him and punched his stomach. He stumbled and put his hands to her shoulder to adjust himself but he was off balance and made both of them fall. Cagalli landed on the top of him.

While they tried to get up, Athrun's mother came from the kitchen, "Athrun, Cagalli dinner is– ." She stopped talking and saw Cagalli on top of his son.

Both of them rose up immediately and his mother apologized, "Oh, sorry I didn't interrupt anything right?"

Cagall said embarrassingly, "No – no you got the wrong idea."

"No need to be shy, I've been young also. Do continue what your doing, I came to say that dinner will be ready in 10 minutes." She winked at her son, "Next time, do it in the room and lock the door."

"Mom!" Athrun protested while Cagalli blushed.

Athrun turned to Cagalli, "Sorry, that is my mom."

Cagalli flushed, "That's ok."

Ten minutes later, they went to the dining room and Cagalli found that Mr. Zala was there also, sitting beside his wife. Athrun and Cagalli joined them and ate their dinner.

"So Cagalli, I heard you are just moving to this town, so do you like it?" Mr. Zala asked her.

Cagalli replied politely, "Yeah I am, I like this town, I met some nice friends."

"And a charming boyfriend." Athrun added with a wink.

Cagalli kicked his leg under the table and made him wince a little. Cagalli sipped her drink while Athrun's mother asked some questions that she never thought.

"So - where and when was your first kiss with my son?" Cagalli spattered her drink and coughed hardly and she could hear Athrun's chuckle.

Cagalli stared at her nervously and glanced up at Athrun, hoping he would help her. But she was wrong the one who helped her was Mr. Zala.

"Leave that poor girl Lenore, that question is kinda private."

His wife sighed disappointingly, "I'm sorry I didn't mean that Cagalli."

"No that's ok Mrs. Zala." Cagalli replied secretly thanking Mr. Zala.

The rest of the dinner they spent it questioning her with questions like, do you like the food, do you have any siblings and etc. After dinner Athrun invited her to watch a movie in his room. Cagalli didn't agree at first, but she felt impolite to refuse in front of his parents.

Athrun set the DVD player and played the movie. He sat on the bed and stared at Cagalli, motioning her to sit beside him. Cagalli shook her head, but he caught her wrist and pulled her down beside him. Frowning she watched the movie silently. During the movie, they didn't talk too much.

Around 11 pm, he dropped her at her house and handed her something.

"What is it?"

"Open it later," he leaned to her and kissed her cheek, "Goodnight."

Cagalli stiffened a bit when he kissed her cheek but she managed to reply," Goodnight also and thank you for dinner."

As he drove the car away, Cagalli went inside her room and opened the thing Athrun gave to her. She opened it to find the hairbrush and face powder she threw to Heine last Saturday and realized it had been cleaned. The piece of paper attached on it and she read it : I thought you would miss your deadly weapon, and poor Heine.

Stupid Athrun, she thought and she realized she was smiling. She put the hairbrush and face powder inside her drawer.
