Chapter Five- A bouquet of Roses
Cagalli was very pissed again and it all because of Athrun. She saw Kira sitting in the sofa in front of the laptop busily typing. Kira looked at her and smiled.
"Having a fight again?" Kira said as his finger stop moving.
"It's none of your business!" Cagalli pouted as she sit beside him. She leaned on his broad shoulder.
"Don't you know that the woman is the one who handle the relationship. It was the woman who have the control over the relationship. Whether they last long or not." Kira said as he started moving his finger.
"Where does you he that from?" She frowned and looked at his face. Kira were still busy working on his computer.
"From a friend long, long ago." Kira softly smiled which pisses her more.
"Stop talking like that. I'm older than you and that only applies to you." Cagalli says.
"No. It also applies to you, too." Kira suddenly stop typing and look at her. He jokingly point at her and said that, "You'll never know when his lat straw of patient run off if you don't change that habit of yours. But, I've doubt if you are really a woman. So, maybe it doesn't really apply to you."
She lay her head low and Kira continued on what his been doing as if nothing happened. She picked one of the throw pillow and jokingly smack it to Kira.
"Hey! Stop it!" Kira laughed as he jump away from Cagalli.
"You deserve it!"
Cagalli run towards Kira still holding the throw pillow. They were laughing as they running around the living room like a child. They hadn't had the chance to do this kind of stuff since they were separated years ago. And sometimes things like this sounds fun even if they act like a child.
"My! My! Looks like both of you having fun. It's nice to be young."
Cagalli stop running and so do Kira. They looked were does that voice came from and saw Kira's adopted mother looking at them. Both of them silently go back where they where before as if they were scolded even though they were not. Both of them not noticing were as red as the red roses.
"Don't mind me. Just continue. It was fun seeing you both get along well."
They lost the appetite to continue and they just notice now that they it's too humiliating to act like a kids in their age. Luckily, it was only Kira's mother who saw them.
"By the way, if you got lucky with that attitude of yours and you got married to Athrun..."
"What?!"
"... I'll give you a bouquet of roses on the day of your marriage."
"Are you implying something?"
"Nope!" Kira meaningfully smile at her.
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"Don't you know that Kira has retrograde amnesia?"
She stiffened and turned her back from him and continued what she was doing. It make a sense he doesn't remembered her. If he has amnesia everything makes sense. She believe Kira. He wouldn't leave her even after what happen to their relationship. He promised and he is the type of person who doesn't break promise.
"Kidding..."
Lacus looked behind her and saw Red stand straight as he turned his gaze away from her. She notice that Red's lip move. Even though he tried not to let her hear it, she still heard it, those words, "I think it's not a good idea to tell her this. I don't want to repeat that event again."
She immediately turned her head away from him as she notice that he looked at her way.
"Hey! I'm just kidding. It was a joke."
She was holding the tray as she looked at Red. His facial expression doesn't change. She thinks that this person doesn't know how to make other facial expression. You can't ever read what he feels.
"You don't look like joking." She sighed and mumbled.
Red's eyes squinted as he stared at her, "I really do."
"No, you are not." She walked towards the door and try not to bump Red.
"Why don't you believe that I was just kidding really?"
She stopped when she was at the door with a smile and squinted eyes looked behind her to stared at Red and point at him, "It shown from your facial expression. You look like not joking. And I also wanted to believe he really has..." She lay her head low in order not for Red to see her and mumbled, "... Because if not. Tell me other reason why wouldn't he comes back to me?"
"Did you say something?"
"No, it's nothing." She smiled but she know that smiled was a fake. A fake smile to confused people.
"Hey, do you have a thing for Kira?"
Suddenly she halted but she doesn't turned around to looked at Red. She waited for what Red was about to say next.
"You really do have. I can help you if you like. But I want you to tell me your relationship with Kira. You seem to know him, right?"
"Why are you telling me this? Why-"
"Why shouldn't I? You're interested at our Kira right? If you want me to help you, you should tell me what is your relationship with him. My service is for free. You should be glad."
"I think you're mistaking." Lacus turned her back to Red and tried to walk.
"Your facial expression telling me otherwise." Red stop her and whisper to her ears.
She flinched and the tray almost fell gladly Frederick were in front of her. Frederick took the tray from her without saying any word. And then, from behind of Frederick was Gerard. Gerard clinging tightly to Frederick's shirt looked at her and Red. They walked towards the living room and serve themselves while she and Red were still standing there waiting for something. She saw how Gerard tugged Frederick's shirt. Even though Gerard was trying to not to speak louder but because of his nature of speaking they still heard.
"Bro, was it true? Did uncle really have amnesia?"
She frowned as she looked at Red. Red stared back to her.
Does they hear what we just talked about?
"Can I borrow the toilet?" Red asked turned around to look for the restroom.
"Uhm... Sure. It's beside the kitchen."
Trying to escape huh?
She went and sit in a single seat sofa and took a glass of juice and sip. She looked in the corridor where the restroom was. She glance at the kids when she heard them talking about amnesia.
"Maybe if we hit his head he will regain his restroom? Right? Right?" Gerard proudly said as he put down his juice and pick a cookies.
"Where did you get that weird idea of yours?" Frederick asked and mess Gerard hair, who was sitting beside him in the sofa.
"In the movie." Gerard answered with a smile.
"Yeah, right." Frederick rolled his eyes and stared back at Gerard.
"But... it was effective." Gerard pouted.
"And where's your proof?" Auel raised his left eyebrow.
"The boy loss his memory then regain his memory. That what happen in the movies that I watch. He was hit by the car before that's why he loss his memory but when he was hit by the car again he regain his memory. So..."
"Are implying something that we let him hit by the car?" Auel asked Gerard coldly.
"If you do that uncle would die first before he regain his memory." Frederick said as he pinched Gerard cheek.
"Ouch! I'm just suggesting." Gerard looked at his side and stared at Frederick's eyes.
"But your planning to do the hitting in the head, right?"
"No, am not." Gerard lay his head low while tightly holding a juice.
"Yes, you do." Frederick whisper to Gerard's ears.
"No..."
Lacus continued listen to them as she sip the juice. She watch the kids talking while she was thinking. They totally forgot what they came here, too. She nod when Aisha excused herself going to the toilet.
And, as for the one who escape and hide himself in front of the toilet. He was talking to someone over the phone and looking over the corridor whether there was someone who could hear him. He turned off the phone when he saw Aisha looking at him then to the door of the toilet. He let Aisha walked pass him and go backs to the living room and joined them. He quietly listened to the kids while stealing glances to Lacus, who notice him and then frowned at him. After a while, Mayura joined them. She looked overjoyed as she kept staring and smiling to her.
Another hour pass when they decide to go home. The kids raced as they run towards their home. It was only Red who seemed to lazily walked. He halted and turned back to looked at her and shout, "Think about it!" Then resumed walking.
Since the kids left, Kira had been sitting in the sofa, reading magazine and watching tv He keeps on looking at the window where he can see their neighbor's house. His chin resting in the back of his and his elbow laying in the side of the sofa. He sighed as he flipped and flipped the pages of the magazine then glanced at the tv and to the window. He sighed again as he put down the magazine. He look at the clock. They're been there for almost an hour. He was feeling restless.
I also want to go there. Lucky you, Red.
He sighed again.
"Can't do. Maybe, I'll go there. They're taking too long. I'll just taking a look what they were doing."
Kidding. It's not too long.. But... I'm just curious. Yeah, curious.
He stand up and walk towards the door. He was not too far away from the front door when he accidentally stumble to something. When he look down to see whose fault it is, he saw a pile of magazine beside the door.
"Who left it here?"
He look down and pick it up to put it in the corner. Something caught his attention as he arrange it in the corner. One headline with a picture of Lacus caught his interest.
"NEW LOVE INTEREST?" He was squatting while reading the front page. "Wait... It was from five years ago? Looks like an ancient to me. How come we have this? I don't remember having this one. Oh, right. Maybe it's from Mayura?"
He flip the pages and look for that news... no, gossip. He was busy reading that and didn't notice Mayura walking from his behind.
"Aha! It's true! Mister McAdams you really have a thing for Miss Lacus!"
He jolted and drop the magazine.
"What the... please refrain using my last name. It gives me shiver. Just call me Kir or Kira where almost the same age."
"Okay, sir Kira."
"You really wouldn't listen." He mumbled.
"S-"
"Please, just Kira. It was enough that the kids where calling me uncle. Don't make it worse. Don't make me an old man."
"Okay!" Mayura looks at the magazine that he was holding a while ago and now laying on the floor. "Oh! This one! It was really a gossip of town. Miss Lacus after she broke her engagement with his former fiance she was seen dating someone. No one knows who is that man. They hadn't got the chance to capture him in the camera. He wasn't seen with her anymore after the bombing incident in Plants. So, there is a lot of speculation that he died. Well, we also hear that Lacus's ex-fiance were already married to someone. And we found out that Miss Lacus likes men who is a soldier. His ex-fiance and the rumored new love interest is a soldier both with a higher rank."
"How did you know about that?"
"I've got credible resources."
"You really knows a lot about Lacus huh?"
"Yup! Because I am a hardcore fan of Miss Lacus!"
She won't stop talking again.
"By the way, it seems that the kids were taking too long. Maybe, I should go and pick 'em up?"
"They wasn't taking too long and you don't have to pick them up. They were just at our neighbor's. They won't lost and Sir Red is with them. But... Seems you have a thing with her it's okay to pick them up so you can have a reason to saw Miss Lacus."
She really won't stop.
"No, I'll just wait for them here."
"Why the change of mind? You won't know if you would have chances like this in the near future. Don't waste chances like this. If you don't want I could. I want to shake hands with her. But it was such a waste. If you and Miss Lacus would be in a relationship there is one hundred percent chances that I'll always meet her. I can shake her hands, talked about her and get her signature in all of her cd's I have. Oh my gosh! I can't take it anymore. Chances like that. It once in a lifetime. OMG!"
"I'm wondering where did you get ideas like that?"
"Oh, I'm an inspiring writer. I want to become a romance writer. And writes lots of lots but being a writer doesn't bring me profit. I still have to find a part time job. But, thanks for being a penniless writer and I accept this job. I finally met my idol."
"Okay, you can go. You don't even have to fetch them up. Just go there if you want."
"You sure? You should come with me. So, you can have a heart to heart talk with her."
"Mayura..."
"But... I taught you were going there before you accidentally trip in those pile of magazine."
"I'm just going to check on them. That's all."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Why would you do that? It's not as if they were taking too long. It's only been an hour since they left. You really are interested with Miss Lacus, Blurt it out."
"Back to that topic again?"
"You should make a move before it becomes too late."
"Stop with that topic. Go. Don't mind me here."
"Are you really sure?"
Kira sighed and nod. He shooed her away.
"What a waste. Okay! And thank you very much!"
Kira looked at Mayura as she run outside happily. He walked up stairs sighing.
Kira stopped walking and stared at that doll. He then remember Aisha who really like dolls and horror movies. She even named that heritage doll, which he bought before as a gift for her birthday, CHUCKY from the horror movie itself. He pick up the doll and looked at it. The doll has the pale cerulean color for the eyes.
This doll eyes reminds me of her.
He remember one of his friend when he was a child. Even though they we're together for a short time he still thinks that they were friends. He really like her eyes, it gives an aura of honesty and hopes.
He was looking at the other dolls when someone bump at his back.
"Sorry."
He hear the one who bump at him murmur an apology to him. He startled.
That voice seems familiar. Who could it be?
Kira looked around him. He put back the doll at the rack. He saw that blue haired man and the other is a blond walking while talking.
"I want to confirm something. Don't spill it to anyone."
Kira hears him says that. They were not too far away. They weren't walking fast.
That man seems familiar.
He was about to run to them when his phone suddenly vibrates.
"Hello?" He answered without looking at the screen of the phone. "Mother...?"
He walked the opposite direction which the one his been staring at. He got to go home faster. He bump to someone who seems running to. He looked at the girl who he bump too mutter an apology. He frowned when he saw the expression of this girl, her red hair tied in two ponytail.
"Kira!?"
He stopped walking and looked at her. He was still absorbing into his brain the looks this girl gives. She looks really stunned as if she saw a ghost which came back alive.
What? Wait... Wait... WHAT!?
How many people does he knows before that he can't remember now? His life is in a mess. There is only one thing that came from his mind.
"I'm sorry bu may I ask did we met before?"
It was the words that her sister told him to says when someone claims that they know him. Suddenly, someone snatched him away from the girl. The next thing he knows is he is running.
He looks at the girl's hand who was still connected with his hand. He frowned. This person seems familiar.
"Audrey?"
The girl he called Audrey stop running and with a sweetly smile, looked at him.
"Miss me?"
They stop running and stay standing in front of a restaurant's entrance. He looked around him and then looked at Audrey.
Why was she here?
Lacus knocked at the door before opening the door. She heard someone sniffing as she entered that room. She saw Cagalli feeling uncomfortable.
"Cagalli are you okay?" She worriedly.
"I'm not okay. I can't stop thinking negative things. I'm having doubts about this wedding. I think we shouldn't continue this wedding."
She looked at Miriallia who was with her.
"Jittery..." Miriallia mouthed.
She sighed and walked towards them almost forgetting what she was holding.
"Maybe, this can help and ease it." Lacus give the bouquet of roses to Cagalli which she gladly receive.
"Thanks." Cagalli sadly smile.
Lacus worriedly looked at Cagalli then to Miriallia.
"A bouquet of roses for the Miss Desert Rose. I just receive it from the guard."
"It wasn't from you?"
"Nope. I just take it after them checking if there was anything suspicious but there was none."
"Who sends it?"
"I didn't know. They said that one of the guest came to personally gave it to you. For security purposes they didn't let them in but the young man left it."
"Who could that came from?" Miriallia frowned as she looked suspicious to the roses.
"Maybe there's a card there."
"Yes, there is."
Cagalli waved a small envelope and took inside a perfumed card. They were waiting for her to tell who send it. Suddenly after reading it, Cagalli cried without letting go the of the flowers and the cards. She hug it tightly as if was too important.
"Are you okay? Is there something wrond?" Lacus asked as she hug her. They let her cried until there's no more tears to drop.
"Who sends it that makes you cry?" Miriallia asked when Cagalli finally calmed down.
"It was a Gift from Heaven." Cagalli mumbled
Lacus and Miriallia looked confusedly at each other.
"Okay! Okay! Gift from heaven." Miriallia raise both of her hands. "First come, first. Let them redo your make up. You totally ruin it."
"Okay..." Cagalli smiled, a true, genuinely smile while looking at the roses that was almost squashed and to the envelope where the card is.
Lacus and Miriallia curiously looked the card. They really want to know who send it but then they just ignore those curiosity and prepare for the wedding.
