Chapter 10
Athrun hadn't noticed, but Cagalli had been watching him for several minutes. She floated above him, nearly touching the ceiling of some sort of supplies store that he was in. He held a basket, filled with nuts-and-bolts, microchips, packets of paper and other things Cagalli couldn't quite make out, in his hand. He had accidently bumped into a pretty, brunette girl, causing her to drop her packages.
Athrun apologized and helped her grab her things. The girl blushed madly the entire time.
"Sorry again," he said, bowing slightly.
"It's alright," the girl's cheeks remained rosy. "If I get to bump into a guy like you, well, then I don't mind." She winked.
It was Atrhun's turn to blush.
The girl took a pen and a crumpled piece of paper from her purse. She unraveled the paper, wrote on it, and handed it to Athrun.
"Call me sometime?" she bit her lip.
Athrun stared at the piece of paper, for a while, before giving the girl a sad smile and handing it back to her.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I can't take this."
The girl's head and shoulders slumped. She sighed.
"Oh…someone else?"
There was a pause.
"Yes," he said, "there is."
He continued to shop.
Cagalli did not reveal herself to him. She was feeling a warmth through her soul again. It was burning this time. Even though she did not make her presence known, she began to fade away with a huge grin on her face, content with the day's visit.
