CHAPTER 16: My Prince
-
-
"You ok?" Alex followed her as they stroll on the beach
"I'm fine" she smirked back at him, continuing to walk. She decided to have a walk after what happened back in the hotel. She needed fresh air, it wont be good to stay in her room, she's sure that Shinn won't stop knocking at her door even if she plays gone.
"who was that guy anyway?" he asked plainly to her. He knows his name, but he was curious on what his connection is with her. He could tell that she got pissed off seeing Shinn with another girl. She stopped on her tracks and turned to him with a smile. "Just a plain old friend"
--Riiiiiiiing!
He felt his phone ring, he looked at Cagalli as if asking, she just turned her head in acknowledgment. He pulled it out and flipped it on his ear. "Alex here"
'hey hey hey, its has already been an hour. Where are you?" it was Dearka, his rowdy voice was loud enough for Cagalli to hear. Alex glanced at his wrist watch,
"by the beach with Cags."
"you know that you cant stay there like THAT right?"
"I know" Alex sighed as he glimpsed at Cagalli who was staring at him, listening
"Then what are you waiting for?.. get your ass here now. You know Yzak hates waiting"
"alright.. I'll be there" Alex closed his phone and sighs
"going?" Cagalli looked at him with a raised brow, holding her hands behind her back.
"yeah" he responded, sliding his phone back to his pocket
"take care then" she said nonchalantly looking down. Alex lifted her chin and kissed her on the forehead.
"enjoy your stay ok?" he smiled to her , "you're here to enjoy, not to mope around"
"Who says that I'm going to mope around?" she pouted as she punched him lightly in the abdomen. He chuckled. With this he knows that she's alright. He watched her as she turned around and walk to back to the hotel.

There's nowhere else to go to besides her room now that shes alone. She peered by the elevator to make sure Shinn was not waiting in front of her door. Seeing the coast clear, she tiptoed to her dark room and closed the door as soundless as possible.
The sun has already set. She dumped herself on her bed tired. Cheers and laughs can be heard from the beach, most likely the bosses have already arrived from the expedition and had started the event. She was in no mood to join the others in rejoicing. Lucky for her, Mu didn't join the exploration that she was able to excuse herself from joining the said party.
When Alex left this noon, she saw her tall blond boss by the lobby talking to a lady with shoulder length chestnut hair with eyes of the same color. Might be his wife, she thought, she excused herself with the couple to explain why she arrived 2 days late from scheduled departure. Expecting to be scolded and brutally murdered, La Flaga just patted her back and assured her that it was fine, he was happy to see her catch up and arrive in safely. He said all he wanted for her the whole stay is to relax herself. She deserves to spend the whole week of relaxing in Oroboro Island, and she doesn't have to stick with the event's flow of activities.
The brunette smiled to her after knowing Cagalli's name. She introduced herself as Murrue Ramius- La Flaga.She actually gulped at the name. She was known as the terror boss in the other site. Murrue smiled to her as she saw her sweating.
"I've heard about you from my husband here. The Tigress of the operations" the brunette giggled. Cagalli was embarrassed by the name.
"If you just have seen her stomping around the office and beat men for not following her. Man, it was a sight to be"
"Boss!!" she whined blushing as the couple laughed

She stared at the blank ceiling above. It was boring. She stood up and walked to the window, by the beach, almost everyone from the company were dancing around the bonfire, the others were playing tug-of-war, and on the other side were a few drinking. Everyone was enjoying. Apparently the bosses were under a tent far away from her window's vision.
She was again reminded of what happened earlier this day... Shinn..
-
-
Knock! Knock! Knock!
She snapped out of dazing, ("who could it be?") the knock was too polite to be Shinn. Besides, she left the lights off to avoid any party solicitors. She decided to remain silent.
At last, the knocking faded, she sat herself on her bed and started to pull out her things from her duffel bag. Boredom and silence will kill her, she needs to keep herself busy without thinking about work. As she promised Kira, she's going to enjoy this week's stay in Oroboro no matter what. She's not going to mope around.
She pulled out her MP3 player and set it in random play, ("my loyal companion") she plugged in the headset as she laid herself back.

When I
think of you
Just by doing that, the tears begin to flow
I
pray that no matter when, these fleeting thoughts always
Will be
able to reach you...
I knew
too much about only acting strong
But since that time, my
hesitation disappeared
I'm
sure I have something I want to show you
And there are lots of
words I want you to hear
My smiling face and crying face, I want
you to see them all
Putting an end to my waiting, I'll grasp at my
chance
-
-
--Knock! Knock! Knock!--
("The song isn't right..too sad...") she pressed next increasing and closed her eyes, not minding the knocking at all.
-
-
A hundred days have made me older,
since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same
And all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby,
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby,
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby,
but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight,there's only you and me (yeah)
-
-
She quickly pressed stop feeling her heart run and her cheeks flushing, she has almost drifted with the song when the emerald eyes flashed on her mind. She slammed a pillow on her head and clicked on next as she increased the volume.
--Knock! Knock! Knock!--
-
-
I said i love you for the first time of my life
And there was truth in mer
Something greater is controlling me over time
But there's no fear in me
So won't you hold me tighter
so wont you be with me still--
-
-
("too cheesey") she sweat dropped on the thought and pressed next
--Knock! Knock! Knock!--
-
-
The first leaves off the tree
The way you look at me
A thousand chiming church bells ring
The simple things are free
The sun, the moon, the stars
The beating of two hearts
How I love the simple things
The simple things just are

--Knock! Knock! Knock!--
("grrr what's wrong with you?!") Cagalli shook her device furiously. The songs are all hitting to those not blending to her mood. And its hitting something else she doesn't want to think of at the moment Blaming the random playlist she removed her headset and slid it under her pillow.
--Knock! Knock! Knock!--
The polite knock was still there, (" a persistent one huh?"), she rolled her eyes and stared on the ceiling ones again.
"Cagalli?" the soft voice came from outside, she turned her head to the door's direction. She kind of recognize the voice, but the loud music she played seemed to echo still in her mind.
"Cagalli..?" she jolted up as the voice registered on her mind. She almost tripped down as she rushed to open the door.
"Lacus?" she whispered in disbelief as she saw the pink lady standing in her doorway with a sweet smile on her face.
Cagalli peered from the right to the left of the corridor. "Its ok Cags, I'm alone".
"Why is it so dark here?" Lacus crawled her hands on the wall for the switch, Cagalli closed the door.
"Err.. Just wanted to sort my mind out" she scratched her head and walked to her bed to sit.
"Finally" Lacus clicked the switch as Cagalli adjusted her eyes to the sudden light.
"i thought you' were never gonna open the door" she smiled to her as she sat beside Cagalli
"Well I thought so too" Lacus just giggled , "why are you not down there enjoying with the others?"
"I'm just not in the mood to mingle with a bunch of people."
Lacus raised her an eyebrow, "why is that?"
"beats me" , Lacus was amused by her response
"how about you? Shouldn't you be down there?"
"well... I'll go down there if you are there" Cagalli looked at her confused, "I'll appreciate a friend's company rather than corporate people and henchmen i know nothing of" she smiled
Cagalli won't wonder why men will drool over her at the beach, Lacus was wearing a sky-blue backless tube swimsuit, then there's this yellow cloth that serves as added cover, though it doesn't cover much cause the end of the cloth hangs loose till mid thigh that looked like a skirt with a big slit at the right side, exposing her slim long legs. Then Her pink wavy hair was tied to a knot, revealing more of her pearl white skin, neck and back.
"Is your fiance not there?" she asked snapping out of thinking
"he's there, but he's busy entertaining the guests" Lacus took off her sandals then laid her back across the bed.
"what kind of fiance is he? Not even paying attention to you?" Cagalli stated a bit annoyed as sat on the bed with legs crossed, her hands on her knees clenching.
"Its alright Cags, his father is not here, so he must take charge of the event"
She unclenched her fist and relaxed her arms on her legs, realizing that Lacus' fiance was the son of the Big Boss of the Big Corporation, "poor guy, he might get dried to a pulp before the week even ends"
Lacus giggled looking at her reaction, "I don't think so. He arrive this afternoon with a big smile on his face, and it never faded till now. I bet something great happened which inspired him the whole day" her eyes sparkled as she sat up to look at Cagalli.
"eh? What greater things can happen to the son of the Big Boss?" They're rich, powerfull and all, what more could they ask for?
"No idea, he haven't told me the full details yet. But seems like he had met the damsel of his heart" Cagalli fell off the bed.
"What??"
"Oh my, are you ok?" she helped Cagalli back up the bed. "honestly I'm not sure 100 percent sure yet. But I'm definite with that smile " Lacus giggled, still with her sparkling eyes
"what are you saying? Aren't you engaged??"
"We are, but you see.." her eyes saddened, "Our engagement is both for the profit of the company. So as much as we can, We're want to enjoy the joys of being in love"
Cagalli felt sorry for her, it sucks to be engaged with a person you only looked up to as a sibling. She had felt it with Yuna, friendly love existing for a lifetime bondage. She doesn't want the idea, but she'll have to reconsider it in the future for her family. She snapped herself out taking the subject off.
"We are?" Cagalli quoted we, might have heard wrong. But she saw Lacus' cheeks blush as she nodded
"your in love?" she jumped beside her excitedly. They also deserve to be happy, even for a moment
Seeing Cagalli's questioning eyes, she started of, "umm.. well he leaves somewhere near the Bay. Honor student taking up the last year in Business Administration. He's 3 years older than I am. He's got these chocolate colored hair complimenting his beautiful amethyst eyes. Meek in personality but very determined with things he believes in..."
Cagalli swore that she saw Lacus's twinkle as she described this person. She wasn't able to catch up with the rest Lacus was saying. She got locked up with the cheer she's seeing in the girl before her.
"you really like him huh?" Cagalli smirked at the gleeful Lacus as she ended her speech, Lacus just nodded to agree with her.
"how about you?" Lacus baby blue eyes glimmed at her
"Tell me something about your prince?" she stiffened at the question, her cheeks started to blush.
"well...uhh..." she turned her head to the side, she didn't know where to start.. or on WHAT to start. Lacus just stared at her patiently, her sweet smile not fading.
"I..uhh..I dont have one.." she stammered
"Every princess have a prince"
"well I'm no princess"
"I dont believe so" Lacus leaned forward, "I once saw you step inside a silver car" the pink lady winked
"wha-" her eyes widened, that was the time Shinn offered her a ride, "how-d"
"and another time into a black car"
"whe-"
"and also a time when you stepped out of a red car" she blinked at the frozen blond
"we do daily checks, remember?" Lacus giggled
Cagalli sighed and started to clump up her mind. This girl has a power of seeing behind one's soul, she thought, as Lacus eagerly waited for her response like a child on her ice cream.
("this is going the life out of me..")
