I looked at Lacus and said, "It went to the son of Via Hibiki."

She looked at me confused and I looked up at the door to see Kira and Athrun there. Athrun looked confused, but Kira seemed to know that name very well.

"She was my mother," Kira said slowly, "How do you know her?"

"I don't," I said shaking a bit Athrun came to my side. He was wiping the tears from my eyes. I didn't know they were coming out.

"Hey relax, what's been going on with you darling," Athrun asked placing me on the couch, "You need to stop keeping it in."

I relaxed and said, "It's been a picture and a name."

Athrun looked confused and said, "What do you mean."

"In my duffle bag," I said crossing my arms. Athrun nodded and went to get it. Kira came in looking confused along with Lacus.

"What do you know about Via?" I asked.

"That she was my mother, my father was Uleen," Kira said, "They had kept a trust fund for me, that I was given when I was eighteen, and I also got one from our family friend, Uzumi."

I swallowed and said, "Anything else?"

Kira shook his head and Athrun came down with a look of shock. I took the picture from him.

"What is it Cagalli?" Lacus said looking worried now.

"Nothing important," I said, "My father told me about Via."

"Who was your father?" Kira asked

"Uzumi," I said, "Your family friend."

"I'm so sorry," Kira said realizing, "I never knew that Uzumi had a daughter. He had another fund for some other person which I didn't who. I assume that would be you. I've kept it safely."

"It was for the daughter of Via Hibiki," I mumbled after a while.

"Your sister Kira," Athrun said holding my hand and took the picture, "You have a twin sister."

Kira stared at Athrun and said, "What?"

"I'm sure you can recognize who she is by taking one look at this picture," Athrun said passing the picture over.

Kira stared at the picture for the longest of time and then glimpsed at the back. I saw him turn pale.

"Small world isn't it?" I said.

Lacus was touching Kira's shoulder and he said, "Cagalli I really had no idea."

"Me either," I said.

"God if I'd known," Kira said, "I would have done everything to bring you to me."

I nodded and said, "I would have searched for you."

"This is where you're supposed to hug him," Athrun whispered in my ear giving me a boost.

Kira walked to me and said, "Wow a sister."

"This is why we have the same nose," I said. And just like that the ice was broken. I hugged him awkwardly and he gave me a bear hug.

"Dying here Kira," I said. He placed me down.

Lacus gave me hug too and said, "Now we can be real sister-in-laws."

Though we might never have a real relationship that brothers and sisters have, but we'd get along just fine. I liked Kira anyways.

"So do I get to give Athrun a speech about not hurting you?" Kira asked looking at Athrun.

"I'm sure Athrun could use it," I said winking at him.

"I feel the love," Athrun said sarcastically.

A few months had passed by. And it was the day of the premiere of the film. Athrun bought an apartment where we lived. It looked more like a hotel room when we first arrived. We were going to stay there for a few more month, then I going to head to New York. Murrue had a job for me there and I already had a few projects waiting to me to start. Shiho had long ago moved out of the apartment and was currently living with Yzak, who is now her fiancée.

The charity function I had done earlier was a huge success. Knowing some famous, rich people *cough* Athrun, we raised over 1,000,000 dollars. As for Athrun and I, we still hadn't gone all the way yet. Athrun seemed perfectly fine with it. Though I knew he was probably hiding his real feelings; damn his acting skills.

But I couldn't tell because Athrun was so busy. There was only one day where he would be at home all day and it was too little time to catch up with him. I missed him, but every little second we had together just made it worth it. I really believed Athrun was made for me. I was currently drinking coffee and looking upon the city by the window sill. I looked at the time and realized it was only 2 in the afternoon. I had to reach Lacus' by three. For my birthday which had passed Athrun and Kira bought me the most beautiful Porsche I had ever seen. I gushed and kissed them for hours, well I gave Kira a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek. Athrun on the other hand I made out with whole heartedly. I think he appreciated the reaction as much as I loved the car.

Though I was still quite infatuated with Athrun's Aston Martin Vanquish S. Now that was a car.

I sighed. From what I knew of my schedule I was to head to Lacus and was to be ready by 6 pm where Athrun would arrive. We'd all go into a limo and from there to the place where they were premiering the movie; luckily it was in Las Vegas. I drove to Lacus' place which was only ten minutes away.

I went inside to see all the girls already there.

"Hey people," I said coming inside. After a nice warm welcome I was showered Luna went straight to work on my hair. After an hour my hair was come in perfect, sexy curlys. It was straight with wisps of the curls, but I really liked it. My makeup was done too. Not so much, just my eyes and lips with a bit of blush. I had some earrings on as well. I wore my short gold dress and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked pretty hot, even I had to agree. I wasn't vain or anything but after Lacus and Luna do your hair and make-up everyone ends up being beautiful.

I wore my gold stilettos and dressed and ready with half an hour left. I called Danny and inquired about how the little angels were doing and if they were ready for the premiere. I heard them all yell out. Ten of the children were already adopted. And Athrun made sure they were good people and of his acquaintance. And I talked to the little kids and they had nothing but compliments for their parents. They still came to my class, but slowly I noticed I saw less and less of them.

I heard voices coming from downstairs which snapped my daydream state to reality. I looked down the rail and slipped as I saw Athrun. He was gorgeous. He was dressed in a tuxedo and he just oozed with confidence, charm and pure hotness. His hair was the same as always and I was staring at him like a shy fan girl. Well not only that I was a bit embarrassed about having to go up to him in my get up.

I heard my name and regretting came downstairs, feeling like a girl who was going on her first date. I held onto the railing and when I saw Athrun's face turn I his eyes grow wide and his mouth open wide. He stood erect and when he came back to Earth after 10 seconds of staring. He walked up to me and held my hands and said, "You look…so beautiful I can't put it into words."

I blushed and nudged his chest fixing his tie and said, "And you aren't so shabby yourself."

"At least now I can finally do I wanted to do when I first saw you in this dress," Athrun said.

"What would that be?" I asked

He kissed me. I knew he was going to progress further but I broke away and said, "As much as I would love to continue we have a premiere to get too."

Athrun let out a small inaudible groan and said, "I should have come earlier."

I laughed and kissed his cheek and said, "After the show, I'm sure we can continue."

"I'll keep you to your promise then," Athrun whispered into my ear.

"You two," Shiho said, "We need to get going. And Cagalli you're lucky that lip gloss didn't smear or you'd be tortured in the limo.

I smiled and said, "Cosmetic technology has progressed much these past years."

We soon got into the huge limo and drove for about half an hour were we arrived at the red carpet. I saw cameras everywhere and crowds of people on the sides of the carpet with police keeping them in control. I suddenly felt nervous.

"It'll be okay," Athrun said holding my hand, "It's just light and sound."

"Yay," I said sarcastically earning a grin from him. Athrun and I were the last ones to come out…well technically I was. Athrun got screams from the people as soon as people saw his face. Athrun held his hand out for me and as I came out and there were immediately whispers. I smiled at Athrun and held his arm as we walked. Athrun signed some autographs and took some pictures, while I was desperately trying not to run, but Athrun refused to let go of my hand.

As we arrived to the door there were many reported enquiring about Athrun, his movie, but mostly me. I replied to some of the questions, but thank god for Athrun. He had everything under control.

We were served refreshments and I met up with Murrue as she introduced me to a few people.

"I heard Yamato's movie is rumoring Oscars," a guy said, "What do you think Ms. Attha?"

"I was only part of the dances and choreography, but from that it was really good," I said.

He nodded and said, "Well I've never heard of your work before."

"That's because this was my first recognized project," I said.

"Well I guess we'll have to see how good it is," he replied, "But from what I see, I'm already impressed. I could get you a few deals if you want, for a little sentiment from you?"

He gave me a look over and winked, giving me a knowing look. I clenched my fist and politely said, "You're lucky Murrue knows you or else your castration would have occurred by now."

With that I left fuming. What perverts.

"What's the matter darling?" Athrun asked magically appearing to my side.

I relaxed looking at him and said, "That asshole, trying to bribe me with offers of choreography, in exchange for personal pleasure."

I felt Athrun stiffen and he growled and said, "Who?" in the calmest manner.

I shook my head and said, "I don't want you to start a fight."

Athrun gave a torn look and said, "I'll do it secretly."

I grinned and pointed to the guy. Athrun nodded and said, "Well it's time to go in. Now the world officially knows that I am in love with the most beautiful goddess on Earth."

I kissed his cheek and said, "Thank you Mr. Rich Actor."

"You're very welcome Ms. Red Face," he said as we walked inside and sat on our seats. I was quiet as the movie started and watched.

Two hours later I let out a breath as the credits started rolling on the screen. The room was awfully quite and one person stood up and started clapping. Everyone else joined and I did too. There was a standing ovation.

"Hey Cagalli," Kira yelled out, "There's a surprise for you."

I looked up onto the screen to a very familiar memory. It was the first shot I took and demonstrating a dance for Sarah with Athrun. The same dance where I fell even more in love with him. Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen and their mouth ajar.

Then the bloopers came up and there was even one where I was tackled behind a haystack by Luna. I laughed at that.

"Dearka sure records everything," I said.

Athrun laughed and said, "I think he left it on by accident at that moment."

When we all went outside Kira, Athrun, Dearka and Yzak was getting congratulated by any people and complimented. Even I was too. People were impressed. The movie was a real success.

I could feel Athrun's happiness just surge beside me. I felt energized and happy as we all went out for dinner together. It was around midnight when Athrun and I came home, sober but a bit dazed from the two drinks we had.

Athrun tossed his suit's coat on a chair and said, "Finally I have you to myself."

I laughed taking off my shoes and rubbing my feet, "Finally these retched things are off."

Athrun swiftly pulled me into a kiss, sucking the air out of my lungs; his tongue traced the corner of my mouth. I let out a moan and opened my parted lips wider nipping his tongue to invite him inside. But Athrun continued to tease my lips, until I grabbed his head and pressed my tongue against his.

Athrun hands cupped my bottom placing us in a very perfect position, if we were both naked. I let out quick breath and arched my hips, pressing my pelvis against as Athrun let out a deep groan. I wrapped my legs as he lifted us to the bedroom, neither of us breaking the kiss we both wanted so much.

I was already trying to unbutton his shirt, needing to just feel his skin.

He placed us both on the bed as I managed to finish unbuttoning his shirt, tracing the contours of his chest. I felt his muscles tighten and twitch and I felt his hand pull the zipper of my dress all the way down. He broke the kiss and started kissing and biting my neck to my shoulder. He pulled my dress down and kissed down to the valley between my breasts. I let out a gasp as I felt his hand behind debating whether to unclasp my bra or not. He moved his hand back as his thumbs slipped through the lace and I shivered feeling thumbs.

I saw his dark green eyes stare into mine and I kissed him softly and said, "I'm ready."

They went even darker to a shade of indigo and said, "You sure."

"Only if you're sure about me," I whispered.

"I am," he whispered kissing my lips, "I love you."

"I love you too," I said and I gave myself up to him wholeheartedly.

Well here was the chapter, thank you for reviewing my previous chapter and thank you for reminding me to update lol ^.^

"Surprise," they all yelled out shocking Athrun. I laughed and kissed his cheek.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked.

"Just here for our friend's big 28," Dearka said.

We talked for an hour and at midnight well all sung happy birthday to Athrun.

"Okay guys, the party's all set for tomorrow," I said, "Mr. Zala needs to head to bed before he falls asleep on the couch."

They noticed Athrun trying to keep his eyes open and nodding saying goodnight before heading to their own rooms. I pulled Athrun to our room and inside he saw his birthday present.

thank you :D

lots of love

Samera :)
