CHAPTER 13: Special Delivery
The sun has already set in the mid sky. Alex was awakened by the solar streaks transgressing through his blue curtains. Its another day, he thought as he ran his hand on his hair. He was to sit himself up when he heard a soft moan with the weigh on his chest. His eyes widened and his cheeks burned. Cagalli has cuddled herself on him, and his other arm was wrapped around her. He smiled, he didn't thought that the wild blond was so angelic at sleep. Its another day, but this one is special.
Pulling her slim body for a hug, she cringed closer to him. He felt her breathing against his and her meek scent mixing with his. Their bodies were so close that he felt every beat of her heart pound on his chest. He wanted the time to stop for eternity. Would she hate him for wishing so?
His eyes glimpsed on his wrist watch, its close to noon, I must make something before she wakes up. Giving a last tight hug, he slowly rolled Cagalli to the bed and tucked her in the blankets.

"pot stew... beef steak... carbonara..." her mind continued to wander in dreamland She was floating in the skies filled with all the food that she likes. The fantasy ended as she felt her head hit the floor.
"Owwwwwwww" she massaged her head, her eyes focused themselves as she scanned the room. Empty. ("I wonder where Alex is?") She brushed herself up and went outside the room.
She slowly stepped down the stairs and ended up in the living room, it was the same apartment that Alex brought her to before. Rubbing her eyes off from slumber marks, she saw Alex standing by the door talking to someone.
"Alex?" he turned his head to her call, the bags handed by the person outside almost dropped from his hands with the sight of her, he gaped at Cagalli blushing.
He noticed that the delivery man was staring at her as well, with wide eyes. He slammed the door and turned his back on her looking at the floor.
Cagalli doesn't know what has happened before her, what the hell are they staring at her for?
"uhh..Cags, why don't you..umm..go upstairs and put on some..uhh.. thicker clothes. While I..uhh.. prepare brunch..." he stammered
Confused, she looked at herself. She was still wearing her office blouse that was open from the second bottom from the top exposing her slender waist and part of her bra, and her white pantilette which was almost see-through veils out her long legs. Blood rushed to her cheeks, without thinking twice, she dashed upstairs back to Alex' room.
"Just open the white closet , you can use the shirts there!" he shouted behind her.
-
-
("What the heck was that Cagalli?!") she slapped her herself, locking the door behind her. She felt for her chest, her heart was running inside her. She slap herself again.
She saw her clothes hung by the foot of the bed. It was a bit sloppy. Well she cant wear them, she'll rather wear another person's clothes that to wear dirty ones. She scanned the room, there were two cabinets, one black and the other white.
("What color did he say again? Errr whatever") she stared at the 2 closets for a moment and decided to open the black drawer. She was surprised to see expensive coats, tuxedos and other formal attires inside. ("too much for uniforms") she sweat dropped. Shrugging off what she saw, she opened the other cabinet, ("this one is what you call clothes"), she found herself a red shirt and a camouflage pedal shorts.

Alex sipped his coffee in the kitchen as he read the headlines on the newspaper. His mind was still entranced with the image of Cagalli. He shook his off the thought. "Morning" she greeted him as she skipped down the stairs, "morning" he retorted, avoiding his eyes to wander in the wrong place. There on the table sat two orders of burger steak and 2 glasses of orange juice, fresh from the fast food delivery. She sat on the seat opposite him.
"can't cook huh?"
"well.." folding the newspaper to the side of the table, "its just not my thing"
"you can save more if you try cooking"
"I'll think about that"
They finished their meals with small chit chat. Since the stuff was delivered, cleaning up was no problem. Cagalli rested herself on the couch afterwards, Alex followed her and sat beside her, turning on the television.
"how do you feel?"
"I'm good" she retorted, she was enjoying the cartoons that Alex just tuned the channel at.
"have you..tried consulting a doctor?"
she twitched at the question "nah, no need for that. I'm just over fatigued, that's all."
"something that occurred twice should not be neglected Cags"
"its my body, my problem" replying blankly. She didn't want to talk about it.. As of now, she just wanted to relax
Alex sighed in defeat, he's still a stranger to her. He placed the remote control beside Cagalli and stood up. He turned on his laptop and started to work on some stuffs. Cagalli on the other hand busied herself watching 'Robot Wars'

-
knock! knock! knock! knock! knock!
-
-
"Who's there?" he responded with the knock while typing..
-
knock! knock! knock! knock! Knock!

Alex stood up and opened the door, but before he could even ask who it was, he was pushed inside the house and grabbed by the collar of a silver haired young man. Anger was evident on him. Cagalli jumped up from the couch as she saw 2 other guys who were about to enter the house. She stanced for defense, are they intruders? Or betruders? They are wearing coat and ties Goodness, has God spun the world counter clockwise? Are robbers now dressed like business men?
"What the hell is the meaning of this?!" the silver haired guy continued to nudge Alex
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Shut the fuck up !! That's my line!! What the hell are you still doing here?!"
"Hey hey Yzak. Easy there, you might get him killed before we even bring him there" the tan blond shrugged his shoulders
("killed?? these guys are killers?!") without hesitation she grabbed the remote, ready to launch it to Alex' assaulter.
"Hi there" she stopped midway, the green haired guy greeted her with a sweet smile. "I believe you are Ms. Cagalli Yula Attha, am I right?"
"uh..yeah? How did you know my name?" the confusion mixed with worry tone made the tan guy chuckle, "don't worry about them, they just missed each other so much that they liked to kicked each other's ass"
"Its your ass that I'm gonna kick if you don't shut up Dearka" Yzak barked, he released his grip on the bluenette's collar upon seeing Cagalli's presence, he tugged his necktie in place.
"Please excuse us Ms Attha, they're just really like that." the green haired lad explained, she just stared at them in confusion, "by the way, my name is Nicol, and we're At-" he was interrupted by Dearka who covered his mouth with both his hands.
"friends of my boss. They're my boss as well" Alex answered for him, he closed the door and gestured the rest to sit on the couch.
"tsk" Yzak took his sit with crossed arms.
She actually doubted what Alex said. Are there really bosses that will ram on their drivers that way? Or is it part of Alex' agreement with them? Or Alex is just plain bum not to fight for his rights? or..
"So what brings you here?" she was too lost in thought she didn't notice Alex walk to the kitchen. He handed the guests, including her, with bottles of juice.
("Is that really the way to talk to your boss?!") she glared at Alex, she wanted to whack Alex out. As an assistant herself, she despises impertinence to superiors. But the latter seems to not really care. They sure are a bunch of odd associates.
"your fath-" Nicol was again interrupted by Dearka, "MY father wants you be in THE EVENT" his emphasis on the word event seems to be knocking at her head. But she was totally lost with what was before her.
"And cause your a fucking special bastard who was still not there, he requested US to pick you up" Yzak said coldly, from her point of view, this person is much more ill tempered than she is. But who are they really partaining to?
"Can you believe it? He canceled our admin work and gave us an off just to bring your freaking ass there"
("Looks like the boss can't really go anywhere without his special chauffeur") she sweat dropped at the thought.
"Well if you ask me, its a good thing, I can atleast relax for awhile" Nicol slouched on the couch.
"looks like I have no choice" Alex responded as he turned his laptop off.
"You wont regret it dude, the venue itself is based on one of the famous beaches. And you know what that means?"
everyone stared at Dearka, "tons of sexy ladies"
Cagalli stared in disgust. Are they really managerial materials of their company? Or simple dorks dressed in golden laces?
-

-
Event..Event..Event.. The word trampled on her mind.
-
-
-
"I'll pick you up at 2 P.M."
"alright, but just wait for me down the block. You know Kira wont allow me to the event once he sees you"
-
-
-
("Shoot!") Cagalli jolted up and ran upstairs.
"What's with her?" Dearka watched till the last dust of Cagalli was out of sight
"I dunno"

She searched the bed frantically for her cellphone. Trying to spread out her mind to trace things out. She had completely forgotten about the Stressbuster event. Her boss is going to drain the life out of her. Mr La Flaga is a benign boss, but he never lets any transgression pass. She gulped. The event itself was compulsory, and missing the event will count her as absent, thus, deducting her next salary a one week's work topped with a reprimand!
She felt her phone vibrate on one pillow, someone's calling, she flipped her phone open.
"Cags here!" she almost yelled out of stress
"I know. There's no need to shout Cags. So how are you there in Oroboro Island?"
Shoot! It was Kira, she crammed her mind for an excuse. If he discovers that she's currently staying in Alex' house and not in the place she had asked permission to go, he'll definitely bust his way here. She barely convinced him to allow her to go. Quick think quick!
"er.. its great" What a lame excuse! She slapped her forehead.("Now I'm dead for real") her mind started to imagine Kira raging in and ripping Alex' flesh out. Her calm brother can be a very violent person when triggered .
"Cags, loosen up, enjoy yourself there..let go of all the worries here at home. I'll take care everything here"
She stiffened at what Kira just said. "I know everything seems to be against us these days. And I apologize for not being a brother enough to stand our family. You've done more than your part and have sacrificed too much for us"
"Kira..." she fought her tears back. Her brother always knew how soft she was
"Don't cry Cags, Everything's gonna be alright. Just enjoy it there ok?"
"Alright, I will.. thanks Kira"

"Hey, you two were under the same house the whole night weren't you?" Dearka elbowed Alex with a sly smile
"your point is?"
"Well.. nothing.. y'know what couples do when they're left alone in a single house, with a single room, in a single bed"
Alex chocked over his juice.
"We did NOTHING Dearka"
"Oh come on, you are also a man with a man's urge"
"So you skipped the event opening just for her?" the ever so cold Yzak butted in. Dearka shut his mouth out, when Yzak speaks, its only Yzak who speaks. Period.
"It can't be help, she had her attack"
"hmf"
"why don't you go upstairs and get the stuffs you need for the week?" Nicol stood up stretching out
"He's right, your not going there wearing only that for the whole week right?" Dearka smirked at him
"Stop it Dearka" Yzak stood up, "We'll wait for you outside"
"looks like you guys wont let me escape huh?"
"hell yes" Yzak hissed as he snatched Alex' keys off the desk
He really can't blame Yzak for his rage, nor them for dropping by to pick him up. Besides, its 'business' that they're talking about. The boss can't really handle everything alone. But.. he can't just leave Cagalli there, nor bring her with him, not even drop her off home. He knows Kira. And knowing the fact that he allowed his younger sister to go to Oroboro islands, he'll definitely skin him alive even though he was his best bud.
"Athrun" the name shook him out of his reverie as the cold silver eyes meets his emerald orbs.,
" shes waiting for you there"

How was it?
The pantilette mentioned above is an undergarment of ladies. It looks like cycling short but thinner in material. Just explained it cause my open office doesnt recognize the word in its dictionary.
You know what, i really love the part in GSD when Athrun woke up with Meer beside him. He jumped off the bed falling head first. LOLZ then he rushed up putting his pants on when Luna knocked. I kept on replaying that chapter. Athrun looked so KAWAII! Oh! Please excuse me..
