Those of you who have read my story so far, I like to say, THANKS A MILLION, well you might have realized that I took forever to do an update on the previous chapter, well I was actually on half a mind to stop writing, but my booster was all of you, the wonderful reviews which said to go on and the fact that they actually liked what I had written meant more than anything, I was actually starting to think I had bad taste in Romance (LOL).
SO thank you and keep those reviews coming, my fellow friends they are my life line…need I say more?
Oh and the first chapter has been edited and amended so it may be different from what you have read before because I had actually accidentally deleted the original chapter but few of my friends advised me that the replacement first chapter was loads better, so guys see it for yourself.
Last but not least my editor has left the country, he is in the UK and busy doing some IT course so I have been editing my stuff, and obviously as you can see have pretty much done a very sad job, so do ignore any mistakes you might have come across and I apologize profoundly. The problem is when I re-read my work I am so caught in it I know what comes next since it's in my head that I tend to miss out on the spelling and grammatical mistakes.
Hoping you guys like this chapter, and I am trying to get my chapters to be long after that sad petite second chapter I uploaded…….
I DO NOT OWN G/W, god has never liked me and I am his official comedy series, he likes flaunting such temptations across my face and laugh.
Chapter 5
Relena pushed open the door from the court closet, her eyes were dazed, her thoughts miles away, her brain kept on repeating a horror movie which she played a part in, repeating a scathing voice, I usually get what I want, I always do, I want you to warm my bed, and you will be in it willingly and begging for me, it makes it even more easy to know you fancy me Relena.
She was frightened, she started the day as a normal woman who was attending a party with her friends but now she was in a maze, where any false step would have her plummeting down to unknown depths of danger, she felt violated but she felt sick at the same time of herself. She was very aware of the fact that she was attracted to the very man she should run away from. She also knew that if he had knowledge of this she was doomed forever. He was a sharp person and it wouldn't take him so much to figure out what internal emotional turmoil she dealt with and she was sure he wouldn't waste any time taking use of that, he was after all interested in her, that much he had confided.
Relena balled up her fists and determination crossed over her delicate features; she was not going to be another notch in his bed stand, not going to be one of those women on a long line waiting for him to give his attention. She will resist him if that is the last thing she will ever do.
Relena found her friends, she scooted her features into a cool façade before facing them. She needed to be strong. After all who better knew how rich men's mind worked than her, born and bred under such surroundings.
"Hey Rel, where the hell did you disappear to, we were worried you were kidnapped by some pervert" said Hilde with laughing eyes. Relena smiled back at her friend thinking that her friend came pretty close to the truth.
"Oh you don't have to worry, you know how highly skilled I am at targeting their anatomy" said Relena with a grin.
"That's interesting, did you take up any self defense classes" asked Quatre who seemed genuinely interested in the matter. The group of girls laughed at this.
Dorothy wiped a tear off and beamed "oh Quatre your so sweet, it's just that Relena is doing forensics and so therefore she has the privilege of cutting off some body parts of people, which most of us don't, so we call her our little man butcher". Quatre was a shade of plum red and said something unintelligent under his breath.
"But it all depends on how Relena reacts to a real living red blooded male at the end of the day, doesn't it?" asked a deep voice which could have made a lot of women sigh.
Relena didn't have to turn to know who it was, she gritted her teeth with frustration, was the man now stalking, her….
But this was Heero Yuy and stalking was definitely not what he did, more like playing with her, like the cats do with a mouse before each meal.
"Yeah that's true. But then I don't think its Rel who will be affected but more like the poor opposite sex" said Duo beaming, who seemed not to have realized the tension building up in Relena.
This topic brought on more conversations among the crowd, with the girls stating how simple men were and all they needed was food, sex and cars and the guys arguing a simple life is the best way to live.
Relena was just listening to everyone and didn't trust herself to speak because Heero was with them and she knew he was observing her every move to catch her off guard.
At one point he actually moved next to her, she was however bracing herself for whatever unfortunate circumstances he may unfold on her and the memory of his kiss still vivid in her mind's eye.
"You seem quiet" he murmured to her.
She sipped at her…. Oh she can't even remember how many glasses of Champaign she had, this man was definitely having more effect on her than the alcohol, she felt hot rage gushing through her veins like hot lava and she welcomed it hoping that her hormonal activity will be burnt to ashes so she can think clearly, because she needed all her wit to deal with him.
She contemplated on not answering him and ignoring him but she realized he wouldn't let her go, she took the decision of playing whatever dangerous game he was playing with her and she wasn't planning to lose.
She looked at him, she saw his mocking eyes as if he knew what she was thinking, she smiled at him and said "I don't have any comments to make about either of the sexes".
He raised a perfect eyebrow, scratch that an eyebrow she mentally corrected "so you are honest to admit that neither can survive without the other" he asked teasingly.
"I don't think I said that, let me make it clear, I don't have time for romance so I don't bother seeing men as the opposite sex, I rather like to see them as they are just humans doing their everyday work, for a person who is bothered to have a relationship it may seem trivial but I for one am not looking for any bonds" she said tartly.
"Oh but what about pleasure?" he asked her with a slow seductive voice which gave her Goosebumps.
Relena smirked and gave Heero Yuy a withering look "you may see the world as a play ground Mr. Yuy, but I don't, I know how you people are, don't forget I was carved from a similar stone, except I was wise enough to break away from it, my brother however is an exception, so in relation to your little speech of getting what you want, I will gladly be the first person to show you that most of us eat our own words sometimes" she said softly.
Heero stared at her, his eyes were cold and bland, she couldn't figure out what was going on behind those perfect features. Then he spoke, so softly that she had to strain herself to here "don't underestimate me Relena, you won't know what hit you" his tone was nothing but steel, hard and cutting.
Relena didn't get to retort because at that point Trowa walked towards her and held out a hand "care to keep your promise gorgeous" he winked.
Relena smiled at him and took his hand and walked towards the dance floor, glad to be taken away from the constricting atmosphere and Heero Yuy.
Trowa held on to her lower back and one arm on her shoulder as they both lazily swayed to the music.
Relena felt at ease with Trowa, a definite contrast to how she felt previously next to the dominating character of Heero Yuy, she looked around to see him but couldn't spot him, he must have walked off somewhere or to someone, she thought with tinge of disappointment.
"What's going on in that pretty little head of yours" asked Trowa.
Relena looked back into his emerald eyes and sighed "well it's just that there is a lot of work for the degree and I just don't know if I'll make it" she lied effectively.
He chuckled sexily "oh Rel if I knew anyone who could get through it would be you."
"I suppose" Relena shrugged.
He held her closer to him and Relena looked up at him to see him looking at her with a studying look. Relena tried to smile at him but she felt the colour rising into her face, so she lowered her head to hide it, he placed his chin on top of her head at this point and she was more like in an embrace with him rather than their initial dance stance.
"Want to have dinner with me tomorrow?" he asked.
Relena was shocked to actually here the request, she took her time to answer "yeah I guess I could squeeze you in my schedule" she said uncertainly.
He chuckled again, that heart stopping action of his "I am glad I can squeeze into a place in your life" this statement had more meaning to it than what could ever be described, she was a little unsure how to take things from this point therefore she didn't comment and then all of a sudden Trowa stopped dancing and turned around. Relena pulled herself away from him to see what the interruption was.
Relena groaned inwardly seeing that Heero Yuy had happened again, literally.
"Do you mind if I have this dance with the lady" asked Heero.
"Sure" said Trowa and handed Relena to Heero but planted a kiss to her cheek before leaving and saying "Until tomorrow then". Relena watched him disappear in the crowd but was quickly brought back to earth when an arm snaked around her small waist and pulled her close to a hard masculine body, the very air she breathed smelled of him.
"So what's tomorrow?" Heero asked her, leaning forward to her ear as they moved to the music.
"Nothing that concerns you" she snapped.
His grip became harder and hurting as it bit its way into her skin "Now Relena we know what happens when you misbehave, I thought my punishment earlier was harsh enough, but I don't however mind if you want more" he said acidly.
Relena laughed a cold laugh hoping that she was annoying him beyond wits because he sure as hell was driving her crazy "Mr. Yuy likes his little jokes, you have to stop before I crack a rib" she said sarcastically.
At this he let her go all of a sudden and the action was so unexpected that she realized her body hadn't taken the reaction, she was falling backwards with nothing to hold on for but he caught her mid air and swung her back into his body with force which knocked the air out of her lungs for couple of seconds.
She started taking large gulps of air to steady herself.
"Such venom from those delicious lips, now we can't have that, can we? Like I said sweetheart you have caught my interest and you seem a very amusing challenge to me so I don't intend to have anything in my path when I conquer you." Relena wanted to slap this man; he was a cold bastard in plain, heartless and an arrogant ass who thought women were made to please him.
They danced the next few minutes quietly and when the song ended he let her loose and Relena was about to runaway when his hand held onto her wrist and pulled her back one last time and murmured "Be a good girl Relena and don't annoy me, because I assure you, you don't want me in a foul mood, and next time if I hear you call me Mr. Yuy I'll make sure those amazing lips are not the only things I'll be tasting, so make sure you remember to call me Heero honey, especially when you mourn for me" and he let her go.
Relena just stood there befuddled, did he just tell her not to go out with Trowa, why the nerve of that man, she thought. She will go out with Trowa if it was the last thing she did and she will never mourn for that idiot.
TEN YEARS LATER (A/N I know I am going to get many raised eyebrows for the whole time travel journey, but you see I needed to give Relena and Heero's history together, it was a crucial part to bring about the not so smooth relationship between them, and of course the real story starts from here, I know this story line is a bit twisted but if you bare with me I will try and make it grand, and it's all the more exiting when they are out of college and more independent……..hehehehe)
Work was hectic, Relena did complete her forensics degree but due to her brother urges she had to actually give up the career she had planned, instead now she is working in a solicitor firm, but her work is mainly related with a leading insurance company. Due to her degree she was capable of becoming a case manager for personal injury claims to clients who have met with road traffic accidents and she was dealing with the high profile cases, meaning they were wealthy and rich people who should be handled with care like uranium.
She just had a lousy call with one of the third party insurers, the call ended after 30 minutes of rather cold negotiation from both sides to a somewhat satisfying result. Negotiation's just a kinder official word used, but the truth was far from it, if the telephone cords and land were not separating the two agents they would have most likely strangled each other, but you do have a few good ones, however most of them aren't, as in all bad things in the world.
Relena sighed again and stared at the big round clock in front, it was still 15 minutes to 5, and she had one last call to make to their principles, Wing zero Insurers, to discuss about a mutual client who was causing big fuss over some missing documents which were posted to him.
Relena pulled the file out and dialed the toll free number, she was on hold, which was not surprising, and it took another couple of minutes before anyone actually picked up the phone.
"Hello, you are speaking to Sarah Hunt from Wing Zero Insurance, how can help you" said a cool rehearsed voice.
"Hi, I am calling from Earth and Sphere Solicitors, could I give you a reference number"
"Sure" said the other side
"It's 42659771N, and the mutual client is Mr. Wufei Chang, Car registration AB25 152B" said Relena going through her file making sure she had given all details necessary for data protection.
"Thank you, what can I do for you?" asked the Sarah after pulling up the file.
"Well Mr. Chang telephoned us in relation to some missing post which incidentally had been sent from your company but when he called up your office, one of your agents has advised him that he should call us, his solicitors, as we are dealing with the case now, so Mr. Chang has filed a complaint to me, because I am the file manager, I explained to him that we are in fact only handling his uninsured losses and anything in relation to his car has to be dealt with his insurance company, but he wasn't happy so he wanted me to telephone you and get this whole mess sorted" said Relena.
"Sorry what was your name?" asked the other side.
"Relena Darlian"
"You are the file handler for Mr. Chang?"
"Yes"
"Could you bear with me for a second, I need to transfer your call to the head of my department because the file has been classified as a code red"
"That's ok" Relena nodded her agreement, she knew what code red meant, it clearly meant the Mr. Chang was VVIP, to the Insurance Company, most likely he had a lot of influencing power or he was stinking rich that the company would die rather than let him go.
"Hello. Am I speaking to Relena?" asked a male voice from the other side after some time.
"Yes and you are"
"I am Chris Bartely, the head of PI (A/N Personal Injury) and sorry for the inconvenience, I will ring Mr. Chang personally and have it all sorted and the post resent by register, thank you very much for informing, you saved us from a great deal of mess" said Chris, Relena could actually hear him smile with relief, she understood and knew how annoying these situations could be.
"That's no problem, Chris, but I will need to call Mr. Chang and advise him of the position or else I will be having him hounding me"
"That's alright Relena."
"Great, glad that's sorted, thanks and bye"
"Thanks for calling" said Chris and the phone went click after the termination.
Relena moved her sore neck form side to side, it was Thursday and she had one more day of nerve wrecking work, she looked up at the clock and saw that it was 5 and it was time for her to go, she was tempted but she needed to call the Chang fellow so that she had one less complaint to worry about.
But she needed some coffee badly, because usually calls with Chang went on forever because he wanted a summary of what was happening to his case and he usually did a bit of interrogation which is quite wearing out.
Relena returned back with a Styrofoam cup, she sipped some coffee and felt her cells tingle with warmth, 'ah much better'.
She dialed Chang's mobile number because the man was always flying or travelling, she never got him at his work place.
Ring, ring, ring-
"Hello?" said a clipped voice.
"Hello could I speak to Mr. Chang please"
"Who am I speaking to first" he asked rudely
'Honestly for all the times she has called him couldn't the idiot figure out it was her, since he was such a ruthless client none of her colleagues did any calls with him, they always left it to her'.
"Mr. Chang I am calling from Earth and Sphere Solicitors my name is Relena Darlian, I am your File handler" said Relena patiently.
"Oh it's you, about time or else I was going to actually complain to your supervisor, you have such a dragging system" he complained.
Relena explained to him about the situation, and his usual drilling session took place in relation to his claim, and it was after 40 minutes there were signs that the call was about to end.
"You are working late I see" commented Chang.
"Well sometimes I do Mr. Chang when things needed to be sorted" said Relena offhandedly indicating that it was because of his case she was working late.
"Well the least you can do after having put me in a mess" he retorted.
"Mr. Chang I am sorry for the inconvenience but it was your insurance company who gave you wrong information, we were trying to help you sort it out even though it's not under our cover" Relena explained feeling a nerve about to pop, that man needed to know that he is blaming the wrong people.
"Well, keep me updated Darlian" and he hung up.
Relena wasn't shocked at all by this rude behavior she was very use to this in fact, this was actually better than some of the perverts, you have a few of them who calls in to discuss their claims and the medical reports which are evidence and they start complaining about the sexual positions asking which position she liked the most just to get a kick form the whole situation, those actually are the most annoying types of calls.
Relena packed her stuff, waved at few of her colleagues who were working as late as she was before getting into the elevator.
Chang slid his mobile back into his pocket and sighed, he placed two fingers at his temple and massaged it to relieve the stress.
"Everything ok?" asked his companion who was with him in the limo.
"Yes, it's my blasted solicitors, well more like your blasted insurance company, they have screwed up a lot of shit"
The other man raised an eyebrow "give me the names I'll look into it" he said
"What are you going to do? Fire them, in that case you have to fire the entire staff you have hired because they are all incompetent" snapped Chang.
"Well if that's what it takes, and besides there are many solicitor firms that I can pass your case to as well" said the other man sounding bored.
" No the solicitor firms actually doing good, it's your company like I said, my file handler from the solicitors, managed to sort it for me, she's actually one of the only people who actually knows what she's doing" said Chang shaking his head.
"well you didn't sound like you liked her, you were practically trying to eat her through the phone, the poor sole must be half scared of you to death, send her some flowers Chang, who knows if she looks good, you might even have a fling" joked the other man waving his hand.
Chang smirked "not everyone of us think like you, besides she isn't scared of me, I know that for sure, she has never been, she rather snappy as well, the thing is she is so shrewd when she comments that I can't actually catch her being rude to customers by theory, not that I want to but the fact is she is very thorough"
Heero Yuy raised a dark eyebrow "Seems like Chang is actually into this doll, so does this darling have a name, I could do some check up for you, see if she is fat and ugly to help you sleep, because most of the time if they are smart and have character they are butt ugly, believe me".
Chang glared at his friend "oh shut up Yuy, you know I am going to be engaged to Sally, and I am quite happy with one woman unlike you, I am just glad that Relena is handling my case and I just appreciate good work, and I have no interest to see what she looks like as long as my case runs smoothly" sighed Chang.
There was a dead silence after his comment, Chang looked at his friend who seemed to be observing Chang very seriously, gone was his teasing attitude.
"Heero? You okay man" he asked.
"What's the solicitor handler's name?" he asked slowly.
Chang raised an eyebrow "Relena Darlian, why?"
Heero ran his hand through his hair, a gesture he does whenever something was nagging him.
"What a coincidence" he said more to himself.
"What coincidence?" asked Chang completely puzzled.
Heero shook his head "never mind" he said and he was back to one of his foul and silent moods. Chang just couldn't be bothered figuring out his friend.
After several minutes of silence, Heero picked up his mobile phone and spoke to his secretary "Hi Janice can you please get me connected to Barton" he asked.
"Sure Mr. Yuy" said Janice with a flirtatious voice.
Chang smirked and looked at Heero "you sleeping with her as well?"
Heero rolled his eyes "I am not that dry on women yet" he added.
"You are connected" she said breathlessly which Heero ignored.
"Hi Heero, what a surprise, I haven't heard from you like in years what can I do?" asked Trowa Barton's familiar voice.
"Not bad, Trowa you used to date Zech's sister right?" asked Heero quickly cutting to the point.
"Um yeah…" said Trowa unsure what Heero was getting at.
"What happened"
"Wow that's a bit abrupt, um we didn't work out, we called off mutually, she had to go and start on her forensics and she had some issues as well with her brother, she said that a relationship was not the best thing at the time" said Trowa.
"Oh, so more like she called it off" smirked Heero.
"Ok, what's this all about?" asked Trowa irritated.
"One of my friends here met her so I just wanted to know if it was the same person, thanks anyway" and he hung up. Trowa was not surprised by this, he was too used to Heero's rashness to be bothered but he was curious to know about Relena….
"Are you telling me Darlian is Zech's sister" asked Chang with shock.
Heero nodded still deep in thought.
"But what the fucking hell is she doing working in a solicitor firm when she could be, could be…" Chang trailed off perplexed.
Heero smirked "You've spoken to her Chang, you know she's an odd one, I met her in college and even then she was away from her family, Zechs had to threaten her just so he could pay for her college and to stop her working in a restaurant"
"What has that woman lost a bolt, and I bet she is butt ugly if she doesn't like the spot light?" asked Chang laughing.
"Oh no, she's far from ugly and she is not crazy, just stubborn, but I plan on teaching her a lesson" said Heero slowly.
Chang stared at his friend "are you trying to get her into your bed, since Barton failed" asked Chang with disgust.
Heero smirked "let's just say she has been elusive for all this time and since now I have found her I don't plan on giving up…………."
Ok that's it for now and I hope you guys like it…..
I know Heero is turning out be a jerk, but it gives so much spice. I want him to be the perfect hot rich man who is spoilt. I love such characters (Bwahahahah/ evil laugh).
But like I said I am a romantic when it comes to Heero and Relena so this is not angst, no reason for you guys to throw pitch forks at me (lol).
Things are going to get sticky, and one of you guys wanted it hot, don't worry I am making this baby a citrus kingdom with a storyline of course...
I solemnly swear I will update soon.
