Hey

Sorry i didn't update i have exams right now and i am really really sick :(

But i'm feeling much better today and rushed to update.

Sorry about keeping you guys wait

Enjoy :)

We all agreed to meet at the club. I went home with Lacus and she already had a change of clothes with her. I was staring at Lacus and said, "What should I wear?"

"You know that cocktail dress I bought you yesterday?" she said, "The shimmering metallic one with the short halter top."

"Oh," I said pulling out the dress from my huge closet.

I took it out of the bag and said, "I guess this is alright."

I quickly changed into my dress. It was everything Lacus said with an empire style tired skirt and rhinestone broach and ties at the back of the dress.

"This is just as short as the one I'm wearing to the premiere," I said with a small sigh.

"But you look great in it," she said digging out some strappy sandals.

"Yay," I said taking them from her reluctantly, "I can barely dance with these."

"You exaggerate way too much for your own good," she said, "Now sit I'll do your makeup."

"What is this makeup you speak up," I said.

Lacus laughed and said, "Just your eyes okay."

"Fine," I said, "And for the heck of it, I'll even let you put on some lip gloss."

After that was done Lacus drove us to the club. My car was safety parked in the studio. I recognized the place as Yzak's club. We were immediately let in, and into the mayhem.

Shiho was there waiting for us with the rest of the people, except Athrun.

"Where's Athrun?" I asked Kira

"He'll be coming a little late because his agent," Kira said.

I nodded and said, "Okay thanks."

Kira was talking to Yzak as Dearka pulled Mir onto the dance floor. Shiho grabbed my hand and Lacus' and took us to the bar. She ordered drinks for us and I said, "I'm going to be drunk in an hour at this rate."

"That's what I'm planning," Shiho said evilly, "Lacus you drink non-alcoholic right?"

She nodded and was given a coke. I sipped my drink lightly constantly looking at the door.

"He'll be here okay," Shiho said patting my shoulders, "But we all should start dancing."

I smiled, nodding eagerly as we all went onto the dance floor and moved to the tune. I took a break first and went to get another drink.

"Nice dancing Miss," A guy commented as I arrived at the bar.

"Why thank you," I said

"May I be able to buy you drink?" he asked

I smiled and said, "Who'd say no to a free drink."

He laughed and got me one; I took it from him and thanked him.

After a few sips he asked, "So are you available tomorrow night?"

I winced and said, "Sorry, but I have a boyfriend…I think."

"You think?" he said.

"It's quite confusing," I said, "He hasn't asked me out, but we're technically together I think."

He nodded and said, "How about I help you with this problem of yours."

I looked at him cautiously and said, "Any catches."

"Yes," he said, "One dance."

"Agreed," I said shaking his hand. He explained his plan to me and soon it was set into action as Athrun came in grabbing attention from a horde of ladies. I was a bit jealous at the claws grabbing at Athrun, and he was trying his very best to get away from them. Athrun was looking around for familiar people and he got help from Yzak who took him to where he was talking to Kira.

"Athrun Zala the one?" Drew whispered into my ear.

I nodded and said, "Yes actually."

"Good catch," he said, "So you ready, I'll use up that dance now."

I laughed and he took my hand onto the dance floor. It was pretty innocent enough, but I felt a pair of eyes on me and I asked Drew, "He's looking right?"

"Well with anger directed towards me," he said making me laugh. He pulled me closer and I just knew Athrun was walking towards us, but was intercepted by a pretty female. Athrun looked helpless and Drew pulled me towards the stage where a band was playing.

"Let's provoke him a little bit more," he said.

"Hide and seek?" I said

"Pretty much," he said

"You're evil," I said

The song was slow next and Athrun came up and gave me a look and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Who are you?" Drew asked.

"Last time I checked I was her boyfriend?" Athrun replied, "Unless Cagalli you think otherwise?"

"Well Athrun," I said with a small laugh, "Are you?"

Athrun rolled his eyes and said, "I thought that was clear when I said I loved you."

"Finally," I said hugging Athrun, "You didn't ask me so I was so confused."

"She said you technically didn't ask her and she didn't really know, so we just figured it out," Drew said, "Nice girl you got here Mr. Zala, she's a keeper."

"I know," Athrun said with a grin as Drew left with a wave.

"He's a nice guy," I said as my arms slipped around Athrun's neck.

Athrun gave me a stare and I laughed and said, "Nice, I don't love him or anything."

"But you love me," he said

I stared at him and said, "How do you know?"

"You told me last night," he said

"I did!" I said incredulously.

"Well I didn't think you remembered," he said, "But I was very happy."

I gaped at him and said, "I told you and I've been feeling guilty all day that I supposedly didn't tell you yet."

"It's okay," he said kissing my nose, "You can tell me again, I don't mind at all."

I smiled and said, "I love you."

"I love you too," he whispered in my ear, "But try not to dance with another guy in my presence again."

"I could say the same thing with all those women," I said with a slight edge.

"I try my best to avoid them," he said, "But from now on, I'll use you as protection."

"How macho," I said

"You love it," he said, "Plus I don't hit woman."

"You're mother sure taught you right," I said, "What if they really deserve it?"

"Even so no, and let me tell you I've been in that position many times," he replied

I laid my head on his chest as we both rocked to the tune of the song. Athrun wrapped his arms closer and as the song finished we both met up with everyone at the bar. Athrun had his arm on my waist the whole time and Lacus figured out the good news immediately and soon the whole gang knew. I couldn't be happier. I was a little tipsy by the time we left the bar, but I wasn't drunk…no, never again.

"So who's driving me home?" I said.

"Do you even need to ask that question?" Athrun said.

"No," I said with a smile, "You're driving me home."

Athrun laughed and said, "Yes now let's get going."

I waved my goodbyes to everyone and we both walked to his car. I smiled at Athrun we both gave secret glances to each other. Athrun dropped me to the door and I pulled him in, grabbing his head and furiously kissing the life out him…cut that he was kissing the life out of me really. His tongue was roaming in my mouth and then he broke away and starting kissing my neck stroking my throat with his lips and giving little bites. I moaned and gave him as much access as I could. I rubbed his shoulders and Athrun groaned a bit and kissed a shoulder and tickled my ear a little. Shocks were flowing through me; my blood was rushing as he kissed me again. It was gentle passion, and I was awestruck by the sincerity and chastity of his touch. We were on my couch as Athrun pulled away gripping my hips and I pulled on his neck bringing him closer.

"You're so beautiful," Athrun murmured.

I flushed at his words and kissed his cheek as he lifted me up and placed me on my bed.

Before he started to retreat I held his hand and said, "You can stay here."

Athrun shook his head and said, "If I do we both won't be just sleeping."

I shivered at his words and he kissed my forehead and said, "It's still too early to do anything, and I'm going to give you all the time to be ready."

I nodded and let him leave. Shiho gave him a spare key before leaving and he locked before leaving. I stripped out of my dress and tossed it onto a chair. I got an oversized shirt from my drawer and put it on before snuggling into my covers and falling asleep shortly.

My cell rang at seven waking me up for work Monday morning. I did my regular routine and arrived to work on time. I started off the breakfast people and took orders, served, billed and cleaned up for three continuous hours. The lunch crowds started coming in and I took my break as I got a call from Murrue telling me make sure I arrived at 3 for the shot. I was sitting on a counter and talking to her for a while. Lacus called me next while I was making my sandwich for lunch. I quickly took a bite and talked to her.

"So what did you do yesterday?" she asked, "A day without Athrun?"

It was true. Athrun had to fly to New York for some business and the only communication we had was a five minute conversation when he was boarding the flight back home.

"I was bored," I said, "And feeling groggy. You were busy too."

"I know," she said guiltily, "I had a few meetings and appointments."

"Well you are a famous costume designer," I said with a sigh, "You're supposed to be busy."

"What do you do when you're bored?" she asked

"I don't know," I said, "I always manage to find something I'm not supposed to do."

"What do you mean?" she asked

"Well," I said remembering, "I went onto a wrong street and there was a car chase going on and the guy almost ran me over."

"Cagalli," Lacus said exasperated, "Am I supposed to put you on a leash?"

I laughed and said, "I don't know I attract negative attention. It's a curse I tell you."

"You crazy woman," Lacus said, "I really don't know what to do with you."

"Don't worry Lacus," I said, "Nothing ever going to happen to me. I'm very lucky and too stubborn to leave yet."

I knew Lacus was smiling.

"Anyways breaks over I've got the lunch crowd to feed," I said saying my byes and hanging up.

I looked at my bitten sandwich and put in a container, deciding to eat it later. I ran to check my tables and noticing a few of them with people, I rushed out to take their orders. After coding the order to the chefs I took the orders of a few other tables and served them.

"Cagalli," my manager called me as I was going to serve my tables.

"Yes," I said with a pile of food in my hands.

"Bill," she called out, "Serve Cagalli's tables. Cagalli you are requested on Section A-1."

A-1! That was the best table in the place.

"Alright," I said a bit curious and quickly went up, adjusting my skirts and blouse and placed my regular polite smile before stepping up to the table. It was empty when I got there….strange.

"Huh?" I said looking around and turned around and I felt arms wrap around my waist and lips touch mine. I froze, my eyes wide, and then slowly closed my eyes as my arms went to his neck and responded back to the kiss. After a while we broke and I said, "What a surprise."

Athrun grinned and said, "I missed you."

I smiled and said, "Me too."

"I hope," he said placing a chair out so I could sit, and then sat down, "I thought we could have lunch."

I laughed and said, "You're lucky I didn't eat already."

"I was hoping for that too," he said, "I ordered for us."

"As long as it is something I know," I said, "I'll take it."

A waiter came with the food and served us. We ate quickly and talked about his trip.

"I had to see my parents," Athrun said with a smile, "They're going on a cruise, and so I thought I'd see them off."

I smiled hearing about his parents.

"Do you have to do anything after the shot today?" he asked

"Besides being bored," I said, "not really."

"Then do you want to go downtown?" he asked, "I haven't walked around there for a while."

I nodded and said, "That sounds better then being bored."

"Then I'll pick you up from here in two hours," he said as we finished and paid the bill.

I nodded as he kissed me before leaving giving me a hug.

Mark, who was the waiter, smirked at me, as I started picking up the plates.

"What?" I said with a smile.

"Cagalli's finally got a real man," he said.

I punched his shoulder playfully and got back to work. As soon as he left, things were much quieter and calm. I felt my mood brighten and was working merrily until my shift was over and I changed out of my uniform, stuffed it in my duffle bag and rushed outside the restaurant and to the curb where I waited for Athrun's car. He arrived within a minutes, on time and I sat, buckled in and he drove us off near the town for the shot, it was only five minutes away. I was still high on energy and a bit hyper as I went out of the car, shutting the door gently, admiring it before Athrun swept me away from it.

"I'll buy you a better one," he said.

I laughed and said, "I'd be too scared to drive it."

"Then I'll get one for you to just sit in," he said, "We should really go to a car show."

I smiled and said, "That sounds nice too."

"There you two are," Luna said rushing up to us and pulled me away from Athrun, "Cagalli you need to get dressed and Athrun go to your dressing room."

"I can share with Cagalli," Athrun said with a wink making me flush, "I'm sure we'd get done faster."

"Pervert," I said aghast.

He laughed and said, "I'll see you later then my love."

That made me turn even redder and I said, "Same Mr. Perverted Rich Actor."

He laughed walked to his room, "Right back at you Ms. Red Face."

Ok

hope you all enjoyed the chapter

I should have the next one up by Thursday/friday? depends when i have time to edit and stuff XD

Here's a preview though

"I guess I can share with you," I said, "You're the one who insist on not sleeping on the same bed as me."

"That's because I don't want to move to fast with you," he said holding both my hands, "I don't want to risk losing you even slightly. It's not every day I find a woman I really love."

I squeezed his hands back and said, "You won't lose me if you keep telling me that."

He let out a breath and said, "So I presume we're sharing a room?"

I kissed his lips and nodded.

"Well then, how about we go for a nice walk downtown," he said, "or by a park."

"A park would be nice," I said.

Thank you for reading my story :)

lots of love
