Chapter 2

Cagalli who was happy at first suddenly had a sudden mood swing, she didn't know what to feel, she had mix emotions of both anger, and sadness. First, anger because she never expected this to happen ever, especially considering it's the ever noble and gentleman Athrun Zala, the one who pledge his loyalty to her now on top of a girl who's only wearing her underwear and him just his boxers. Cagalli who was holding coffee and frappe with a bag of pastries suddenly threw all of it to Athrun. She stared for one last second before finally deciding to leave. She ran as fast as she can trying to erase the horrible memory she saw, while running tears were falling all over her face. "Maybe this is all a misunderstanding I mean Athrun would never do anything like that. He, swore his loyalty and yet why does my heart still ache so much?" Cagalli though to herself.

Athrun who was covered in in coffee and frappe, tried to catch up to Cagalli, he ignored the girl who he was on top of, when he saw her cry it hurt so much. It was all a misunderstanding that was what he wanted to say, he hurriedly changed clothes ignoring the fact he smells like coffee, he went to elevator as fast as he can, hoping he'll catch her. However, Cagalli ran so fast, that's why he couldn't reach her, it was too late he wasn't able to catch up. She was already inside the car.

…

Back in the apartment

"Hey, Meyrin are you okay?" Lunamaria asked offering her sister a hand

"Yeah, I'm okay sis." She smiled "But, sis I don't really remembered being in this state, if I remember I was still fully clothed when fainted." Meyrin then grabbed the towel and wrapped around her

Lunamaria looked at Shinn, they were both having sweaty, it's as if they were hiding something. Meyrin looked at them curiously.

"Shinn, are and my sister planning or planned something I didn't know of?"

Shinn was trying not to look at Meyrin's eyes "What are you talking about Meyrin what plan?" He replied still not looking directly at her eyes.

"Were innocent Meyrin, promise." Lunamaria swore

"Then why did both of you, decided to come visit Athrun's place, and say don't have a place to stay at? I mean all of us have high salaries, so we can pretty much at least afford a hotel room considering there's lots of hotels. Plus you guys practically dragged me here. You, know I was really shy cause it's impolite to just barge into someone's home without their permission!" Meyrin was already pissed she obviously didn't have a good morning

"But we did ask Athrun permission" Shinn trying to make an excuse

"Right? But in my view it was more forced cause Athrun, he can't refuse anymore cause it's rude to ignore us when we are already here before he even knew about our arrival."

Lunamaria, who already knew they can't think of any loophole and excuse gave up. "Okay, we admit we did plan something, but it wasn't a prank or anything okay?"

"Then what is it sis?"

Shinn gave Lunamaria gave a wink and nod, "Okay, we did that because we wanted to help you, so that you can be with Athrun."

"WHAT?! Why did you guys do that?" Meyrin was shocked

"Well, Lunamaria noticed that even until now you're still hang up over Athrun. She asked me to help so when we were given a chance. We did this. Don't blame your sister, blame me too I was the one who made the plan."

"Sis I'm glad you're concerned about me and all, but what you guys did was very unnecessary." She smiled.

"What do you mean? Meyrin I would also want you to find happiness with someone and if it is with Athrun. Just like that time just after the war when the six of us with Miss Lacus and Sir Yamato, in the memorial. All six of us went our separate ways, at that time I thought you and Athrun were an item, but when I knew you weren't I was surprised you two seem close" Lunamaria reasoned out

"Meyrin you still, have a chance with him, from what I heard Athrun is still single." Shinn said

"But I don't want to ruin their relationship, they suit each other so much as if it was destiny, they are like soulmates." Meyrin said to the two. The couple was puzzled by what she meant by the destined couple. Was it them? Both of them said synchronized "Who are you talking about? What couple?"

Meyrin shouted "Cagalli-sama and Athrun-san!"

"What?! They're a couple?!" The two both said with a surprised face.

"Yes, they are but before we further talk about this and about your plot can I change first and I think we have to clean up our mess before Athrun returns." Meyrin said already irritated

…

Cagalli who was inside the car saw Athrun at the entrance, she just ignored him. She was crying, she wanted to go somewhere to vent out her frustration, she was feeling angry she wanted to punch Athrun but she couldn't. She was thinking that maybe is wasn't Athrun whom she was angry at but herself. She was thinking maybe it was because of course he is surrounded by lots of pretty girls during his time at the Minerva, and Meyrin was one of them no doubt he might had feelings for her, Cagalli kept on thinking that. Even when she was inside the mansion, she was still still out of it, she was still deep thought about what happened awhile ago. After the meeting she had the rest of the day for herself, because she was still having mixed emotion she decided to vent it out through exercise she went to an exclusive gym, the one she often visits when she has time. Kisaka was there to be her guard. She changed from her normal attire to a blue jacket, black tank top and short shorts. She was also in disguise she had a brown long wig with straight bangs in a ponytail and black contacts. She felt like wanting to punch so much she broke two punching bags already.

"Athrun you jerk! Here's for you!"Cagalli kept on saying while punching. After having punching for an hour, she decided to have a short water break she went to the fountain to have a drink, what Cagalli didn't know was there were guys checking her out. When she went back to punch some more, two guys approached her.

"Hey, Miss!" One guy with a cap greeted her

Cagalli ignored it, but they kept on chatting her. Cagalli was so pissed she shouted "Can't you see I'm busy?!"

"Whoah, miss we just wanna ask you out for a drink." A guy with glasses said with a chuckle

"I don't want to, can't you just leave me alone!" Cagalli shouted

"Yoh, Miss busybee, calm down you're so hot that even your head's sizzling." The guy with a cap said.

Cagalli was so pissed that she just punched the guy so hard he had a nosebleed. Cagalli who saw people looking at her, tried to run as fast as she can, she knew she did something improper that was eye catching. Her supposed to be way to vent out turned for the worst.

…

Athrun who stayed at the lobby of the building, decided to finally go back to his apartment, he remembered he didn't have his keys, so he went to Rosella who was the girl in the lobby.

"Hi, Rosella, can I have the spare keys?" Athrun asked

"Oh, Sir Athrun, wait a moment." She went to the wall of keys, finding to the one for Athrun's room. "Here they are Sir Athrun, oh this morning Madam Cagalli also asked for the spare, she said she wanted to leave a special breakfast in your apartment. She said it was a surprise did you see it?"

"Uhm, yeah I saw that surprise." Athrun replied but with a face of guilt

"Oh, is something the matter sir?"

"Oh, nothing."

"But, Madam Cagalli was sure sweet, to surprise you and all you guys must have a great relationship, even though not much know about it." Rosella chuckled

Athrun just said thanks and just left Rosella and went up to the elevators. When he reached his apartment, he saw the room clean and empty. On his, center table there was a note.

In the note was written:

Dear, Athrun

We're sorry for the sudden visit and sudden leave. We weren't even able to properly say goodbye, but we're still not leaving Orb so if you want to meet us you can just go in the ports to visit us inside the Minerva. Sorry, for crashing your place, plus Meyrin said she was sorry to both of you and Cagalli. She hopes, whatever misunderstanding you both have you can both solve it together. Oh, yeah as you can see we cleaned up everything as a thank you for letting us stay, and while we we're cleaning Meyrin saw a note in the coffee, it's from Cagalli if you want to see it, we pasted it at the fridge. We also left you breakfast, it's just pancakes and coffee and we also placed so of the pastries she bought at a plate, there all in the table. So, were sorry once again and I hope you'll be able to make up with Cagalli.

Shinn

Athrun placed down the note, went to the kitchen, he did see some breakfast, he haven't really eaten anything since morning because he was just staring into space the whole time in the lobby, he went to the fridge to get the note. It was a green sticky note, there written was:

Hey, Athrun, you might be surprised to see these big breakfast, I really planned on surprising you for once. I know it's unusual right? Well, there's really nothing special today I just wanted to give you something, to act like a girlfriend who does this kind of stuff, I mean I never really acted like how Lacus acts like Kira or something but at least I wanted to do something simple, after all you always give me stuff, so I did this in return. I hope you enjoy it I bought everything you liked from our favorite coffee shop. I was actually hesitant at first but I decided to do it anyways, you should be grateful Zala, because its only to you I'll do stuff like this. To me you are my red knight who'll always protect me, I love you so much from your princess Cagalli.

Athrun after reading the letter fell down on his knees crying thinking he is the luckiest bastard ever to be able to make a girl as great as Cagalli fall in love with him, he felt guilty, crying sitting on ground looking up thinking how to make up with her.
