CHAPTER 4: On the Same Boat
Sigh...
Cagalli sighed for the 5th time as she leaned on her desk. She arrived at word on time, she was'nt aware of the meeting of her boss on the other site. She was left with no paperworks to do.
("I'm freaking bored")
She went out of her office and made a floorwalk. She didnt intend to inspect the agents dresscodes or their pods, she just wanted to take a walk to wake herself up. Sleeping during office ours was a major sin for the company.
After a 15 minute walk, her vision blurred a little. She shook her head and went to the restroom.
("grr.. this is not good, I didnt have enough sleep") she washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror trying to focus her eyes. ("All I need is a tonic")
Walking in a not so straight way, she manage to reach the pantry and got herself a cup of coffee, ("I think a little air will do me good") she went to the elevator and pressed ground floor.
"Hey, look who's out of her bombshell" she turned around and saw Rey leaning on the elevator.
"What's up?"
"nothing's up"
"Whats wrong? you seem to be gloomy. Did you have a little quarrel with your prince charming?"
..

Ding!
The elevator door opened, Cagalli stepped out and walked to the parking side of the building. It was a quiet night, she sat on the pedestal and looked up to look at the stars. She took a sip of coffee.
"What's troubling you?" she saw Shinn leaning on the wall with his right foot supporting his weight and the other stepped on the wall. She didn't notice him there standing by the shadows. He blew out a smoke.
"you smoke?"
"A little, hey have you seen Rey? He was suppose to follow here" taking the subject off his cig. He doesn't really wanna talk about his smoking habit.
"I'm here" Rey walked in massaging his sore cheek. "What happened to you?"
"She knocked me out" he glared at Cagalli who was whistling, playing shes innocent
Shinn chuckled and took a breathe on his cigarette. Rey went beside Shinn and lit his cig.
"I didn't know that nurses smoke" she said with a raised eyebrow to Shinn.
"Well, it keeps us awake, and we only take it in small dozes."
"Besides, were still human, we too know how to mess up on our own body" Rey muttered and took his first smoke from the cig.
She took another sip on her coffee and looked at the stars, ("I wonder if dad's situation already improved") Cagalli held the cup between her hands to keep herself warm.
"You ok?" Shinn stepped on his cig and sat beside her.
"Yeah am good" she said blankly
--Ring Ring!
"Yep? Were downstairs,.. uhuh.. alright, Hey Shinn! I'll go on ahead, got a phonecall from you know who" Rey closed his mobile phone and threw the remains of his cigarette on the nearby bin, "alright I'll see you there" he then left the two.
Cagalli sat silently as she lookd at the skies, her thoughts wandered again somewhere. She was dazed off when she noticed Shinn staring at her, his face resting on his arm upon his knee.
"If staring could kill, I'll be dead by now" she smirked at Shinn, he chuckled.
"What's so funny?" her eyes twitching at him
"atleast by that comment, I know that your ok" he smiled to her
"huh?"
"you've been staring like hell on the stars. Like you wanna go up and vanish"
"maybe I do.." she said softly and looked down to her cup, the smile on Shinn's face faded.
"This life sucks"
"Dont say that" he looked up, "Life is great, it has lots of lines and dots, shapes and angle, color and shades. Its like a painting y'know, you will only get the big picture when you look at it as a whole" He caught another cig to lit up. But before he was able to get his lighter in his pockt, Cagalli pulled off the cigarette on his mouth and threw it away.
"Hey!" a little annoyed
"stop burning your lungs out" she darted him a glare "I hate smokers"
Shinn chuckled "concerned?" he looked at Cagalli straight in the eyes, she blushed, she knows to herself that she has a soft spot for his ruby eyes, she avoided his gaze.
"Stop using your psycho thingy again" she jolted at him,he laughed with her response.
"I think I know what your missing" he gave her a smirk
she just raised him an eyebrow.

"Lovelife"

"eeeeeyaaahhh!" Cagalli streched her arm and laid her back on her chair. She looked computer screen,
("I'm dead bored...I guess I'll just check the officer's attendance")
.

The door to the infirmary opened and Shinn entered.
"What happened to you?" Rey covered the mouthpiece of the phone as he looked at Shinn's sore cheek.
"I guess were on the same boat now" he just smirked at Rey and sat down on the chair beside him.
