" --- " - Speaking
' --- ' - Thinking
"Ah! Trowa! Cathy!" Mariemaia shrieked as she saw them coming into the house. Running up to them she hugged Trowa for a brief moment before running over to Cathrine for a hug as well. Trowa was wearing a dark green jacket with a blue top and dark grey jeans while Cathrine was wearing a sleeveless, high neck red top and white flare pants. Giving them one of her brightest smiles, Mariemaia backed away from them and said, "So glad you could make it! Come on; let's go see everyone else ok?"
Before she turned to leave though, she noticed Trowa looking at her strangely, as though she had just grown another head or something. Raising an eyebrow at him she asked, "What? What's wrong?"
"... Your outfit," Trowa finally said, causing her to look down at herself. She was wearing a short light blue tank top which revealed a lot of her cleavage and wore very short hot pants which were a metallic dark blue colour. She also had a pair of platform boots on and wore a black choker around her neck and had very huge silver hopped earrings on. Mariemaia had also taken the time to set her hair so that it spiked up around the sides and back but she didn't put on all that much make up, just a bit of silver and blue eye shadow with black eyeliner around her eyes and some pink lip gloss.
"Yeah? What's your point?" Mariemaia inquired as she crossed her arms over her chest, "Didn't think I could look so drop dead gorgeous huh?" Trowa just narrowed his eyes on her while Cathrine put a hand over her mouth, trying to keep in her laughter. Noticing no reply from Trowa after her smart arse comment, Mariemaia winked at them and took hold of their hands to bring them into family room where everything had been set up. While Cathrine and Trowa were being guided, they looked about the rooms which they passed by and noticed a lot of balloons hanging from the walls, along with many assorted lights to give varieties of colour in each room.
In the family room where Mariemaia let go of them, it practically had everything in it. This was the biggest room in her house so Mariemaia decided to use it for the main things like the mini stage for the karaoke backed up against the wall with massive speakers around it and in the middle was a wide space for people to dance. There were also a few tables around the edges of the room as well which had a massive variety of drinks and servings of food for everyone to help them selves to. This room was also the most decorated, counting the balloons and lights on the ceiling, this place almost seemed like a disco dance floor.
"Hope you liked what we did! This took us like, ages to set up!" Mariemaia said as she waved her hand around the room, "This is where most people will be but there is always the lounge room next door for people to go into as well, Duo and Quatre are setting up the music in there at the moment while everyone else is outside helping to cook I guess. There are some tables set up out there as well just in case if people feel like going out there but most people should be inside." Sliding the glass door open so that they could go outside she gestured fro them to follow her as she lead them to the barbecue area where Treize was finishing off some of his cooking.
"Uncle Treize! Cathy and Trowa are here!" Mariemaia announced as she tapped him on the shoulder.
Turning to look at them with tongs in hand he smiled and said, "Good evening, glad to see you could make it." Trowa just nodded in response while Cathrine walked up to him to give him a kiss on the lips. Gazing around the verandah area, Trowa found nothing but lights hanging around them. Considering how decorated the house was, he assumed it would look the same out here but he just remembered Mariemaia saying she preferred people inside so that would be the reason for lack of decorations.
"Hey Trowa!" Hilde called out; waving to him from the table she was sitting at with Alex and Mueller. Trowa said nothing but moved over to them anyway, eyeing Hilde's choice of attire as well. Hilde was wearing a green, off the shoulder top which revealed a lot of her stomach and wore black leather pants that flared past the knees and had silver studs running down the sides of them. She had her hair gelled back and had make up on like Mariemaia?s but with the exception of green and gold eye shadow.
Smiling at him, Hilde said, "Sit down Trowa, I haven't had the chance to talk to you for like, ages now. Since hockey is off for the season." Trowa knew of this and was relieved about it as well. He couldn't stand being dragged there all the time, all because he was the supposed 'team mascot'. It wasn't too bad going there to watch games from time to time but when you knew your only purpose for even being there was to give inspiration for the players to play at their best, it got too frustrating for Trowa to handle. Being the object of desire from all the female hockey players had to be one of the scariest things he had to put up with. Hilde and Meiran were the worse as well, always screaming for attention and trying to play matches as though they were the only people on the ice, it was enough to drive him insane. He was good at keeping his emotions bottled up though, so as annoyed as he would get, it never showed on the outside.
"Why don't you sit down?" Hilde asked sweetly as she pulled out a chair for him. Trowa could see the desiring glint in her eyes just now and it was making Trowa all the more uncomfortable with the way she was looking at him. He didn't think Hilde was such a bad person, in point of fact he liked her as a friend but what put him off her was the way she continued to be so forward and attention seeking all the time. He wasn't interested and he had made that clear but she continued to keep running after him, just like Meiran and many other girls at school.
"Where?s Relena?" Trowa suddenly asked, causing Hilde to look up at him blankly.
"I saw her go upstairs not too long ago," Alex said, "She hasn't come out here yet so I assume she is still up there." Trowa nodded in response to that and headed back inside, causing Hilde to watch him go with disappointment.
********************************
Relena applied some lip gross on her lips for what seemed like the tenth time before she stared at herself in the mirror again. She had to admit she was sort of stalling since she didn't feel comfortable about going down stairs just yet. For one thing she had to curse Mariemaia for making her wear this outfit she was in at the moment.
The top Mariemaia had given her had to be the skimpiest thing she had ever laid eyes on. It was just a normal boob tube top but with the exception of it only just covering the breast area, leaving the rest of your body practically exposed and if that wasn't enough, the top wasn't even attached together. The only thing keeping it on her body was the lacing at the front of it, which would have to be tight up enough to even stay on. The top was too revealing for Relena's taste, even when she use to hang out with Sylvia. Even Sylvia never wore such things, hell, even she had her limits and she was already bad enough.
It was lucky for her that Mariemaia was at least nice enough to give her a long sleeved top to put over the little black thing she had on. There was of course a catch to it though, which was one of the things which annoyed her about Mariemaia. The long sleeved top stopped half way down her stomach but the top was actually a red fish net one which still revealed her upper body anyway, but at least she wasn't as exposed as she was before so she couldn't complain.
Looking down lower at herself, she narrowed her eyes on the ever so short black mini skirt which she had given her to wear as well. The only thing which Relena was wearing that even belonged to her was her knee length boots, besides that, everything else was Mariemaia's clothing. What made Relena wonder though was Mariemaia's choice of clothing, everything of hers was so short and revealing that she almost didn't seem afraid to expose herself to anyone at all. She made Relena get into this out fit because she wasn?t 'satisfied' with what Relena was going to wear before.
She had previously decided to wear a short, shiny black shirt and a black jacket with black pants and high heeled boots to begin with, and she couldn't figure out what was wrong with that. The reason why she picked such an outfit to begin with was because she didn't want to look like a tart in front of Mariemaia and everyone else since she didn't want them judging her. And here she was thinking that they had their limits, "Hmph yeah right, it seems to be a normal thing to walk around half naked now."
"Seems that way," someone suddenly said, causing Relena to jump in surprise. Turning to the doorway of Mariemaia's bedroom, she found the mystery person being Trowa.
Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves she patted her chest and said, "Please knock next time, you almost gave me a heart attack."
"Sorry," Trowa said, although he was grinning a little at her. Relena put her lip gloss and other make up materials back in her little cosmetic bag and sighed as she turned to face Trowa. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she noticed Trowa staring at her outfit, she almost wanted to run and hide behind Mariemaia's bed but restrained herself.
Blushing in embarrassment she said, "Um, it's Mariemaia's clothes."
"I know, you don't normally wear things this revealing," Trowa said, causing Relena to redden even more.
"It doesn't suit me does it?" Relena asked as she turned to look at herself in the mirror again.
"It's different," Trowa simply answered. Relena turned to look at him again at that moment and nodded in response. She still felt rather uncomfortable but she would have to get over it soon since the party was already starting. Besides, she could picture Mariemaia coming up here to drag her down if she wasn't going to do it herself. Before she planned on leaving, she went through her bag and pulled out a bottle of perfume. Staring down at it for a moment she sprayed a little around her neck and smiled at it as she put it away again.
Waiting for a moment as she turned to look at Trowa, she noticed him leaning against the wall by the door way with his arms crossed. After a moment though, his head suddenly turned to look up at her in question. Smiling at him for a moment she asked, "Is something wrong?"
Trowa remained silent for a moment before saying, "... You know what it."
"I just wanted to see if you remembered that's all," Relena whispered, looking down at the ground in shame now. Trowa noticed this and instantly felt ashamed about the last comment he made. Pushing himself off the wall he slowly walked towards her and rested his hand on her shoulder, causing her to tense suddenly from his touch. Trowa caught on to this and went to remove his hand from her but Relena grabbed hold of it and slowly brought it up to her face, pressing her cheek up against it for comfort.
Trowa was surprised by her actions at first, but just feeling her soft silky skin against his hand was beginning to make him feel uncomfortable. He couldn't deny that he liked touching her like this, just looking at how calm she seemed to be with him near her like this was enough to make him feel drawn to her. In his heart, he felt at peace when ever she was around him, her voice, her kindness, her unselfish nature, and her eyes. There was so much about her that made Trowa long for her. In his mind however, he knew this was a dangerous position for him to be in.
"I remember," Relena whispered, "When you had gotten this for me..." Looking up at him with teary eyes, she smiled slightly and asked, "You remember don't you?" Trowa turned his head away from her at that moment and closed his eyes, breathing in the soft, sweet smelling fragrance of her perfume. He did indeed remember when he had bought this for her, how could he forget? It was closest he had ever gotten to her...
******Flashback******
Walking out of the grocery store with his shopping in hand, Trowa looked over the receipt and placed it in his pocket. He had to go get some things which he needed to make dinner tonight since Cathrine was still at work. Depending on who ever was to arrive home first, it was always up to them to be the one to make dinner. They both had to work since they lived on their own so the inconvenience of them not being around for each other during weekdays was understandable. Cathrine was always busy either working or studying at university so when ever she came home, she was always exhausted. Trowa was pretty much the same, he didn't work every day but when he did work, he would start straight after school and return home again at around eleven o'clock at night.
Even though it was hard work, it was better then living alone, at least they had each other to support one another. It was a decision which they both made on their own so they were ready to face the responsibility and the consequences. As Trowa started making his way towards the exit which was straight ahead of him, he started rethinking though his head if he had gotten everything. He got the groceries which he would need to make dinner with, he paid off the rest of Cathrine's lay by at some clothes store which she gave him the money for and he remembered to buy perfume as well.
Looking down at one of his shopping bags in hand, he looked at the one which came from one of the big apartment stores around here and checked to see if it was still in there. It wasn't a normal thing for him to buy perfume like this, but it was all he could think of giving Cathrine for a present. It wasn't her birthday or anything but it was something which he wanted to give her as a way of saying thanks, thank you for being there for me when I needed you most. He had it all wrapped up for her so he hoped she liked it, he was no expert at female cologne but he was really fond of this particular one so hopefully she would think the same. Glancing around at the stores around him as he passed them, he stopped when he suddenly saw some people he recognized.
In one of the cafes not too far ahead of him, he could see Wufei and Relena sitting at one of the tables by the entrance. Wufei was glaring at her from his side of the table while Relena was looking down at the coffee cup in front of her. It wasn't long until he noticed Wufei suddenly get to his feet, slamming his hands down on the table in the process. Relena jumped when he did this and looked up at him in fright. Trowa did not like what he was seeing; Wufei looked to be mouthing off at her about something Relena looked about ready to cry.
If that wasn't enough, Trowa noticed another person heading towards the table and judging by the blonde hair, it looked like Midii. As she made her way to the table, she turned to smile at Wufei but when it came to Relena, all she did was glare at her. With a bit of talking from Midii to Relena, Midii smiled and moved across to Wufei, and without a moments hesitation, she pressed her lips up against his. Trowa's eyes widened at the sights of this. While Wufei didn't seem to mind her actions at all, he noticed Relena watching them in a complete state of shock.
Standing up from the table slowly, Relena kept her head down and started making her way out the exit. It was then that Relena couldn't hold it in any longer and she let out a loud cry as tears began cascading down her eye lids. She turned and began running in his direction. As soon as she was close enough he held out his arm and grabbed hold of her, causing Relena to stare up at him in shock. Until she noticed it was him, she wrapped her arms around him and began crying once more. Trowa rubbed her back with his free hand and looked back up towards the cafe.
Midii was sitting beside him now and she looked to be kissing him around the side of his neck. What Trowa didn't expect was to see Wufei looking in his direction, sending him death glares in the process. Raising an eyebrow at him, Trowa turned his back on the cafe and began walking in the opposite direction from where Midii and Wufei were. While holding Relena by him, Trowa could still feel Wufei's glares on him and he began to wonder why he was even caring so much in the first place.
"I'm sorry," Relena whispered between sobs, "I shouldn't be bothering you like this." Just as she was pulling away from him, Trowa wrapped his arm around her to keep her by his side.
"You?re not bothering me," Trowa simply said, as he continued keeping his gaze straight ahead. Relena remained silent after that, but continued to cry as she leaned her head on him for comfort.
******End of Flashback******
"You brought me home with you that day," Relena said, "You sat and listened to what I had to say, you remained by my side as I continued to cry and you comforted me as you tried soothing my pain..." Looking up at him she smiled and said, "And you gave me that perfume in order to make me feel better..." Trowa remained silent as she pulled away from him slightly.
"Who was that for anyway? I never asked you at that time, and I know it wasn't supposed to be for me to begin with."
"... It was a present for Cathrine," Trowa answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry, if I knew it was for her..."
"I got her another one the following week."
"Even so," Relena started, "It wasn't right of me to just take it..."
"I wanted you to have it," Trowa replied, causing Relena to smile up at him teary eyed.
"You were always there for me," Relena suddenly said, causing Trowa to look up at her blankly, "You were there for me when I broke up with Heero; you gave me a shoulder to cry on while I was with Wufei... You have always helped me through things which I thought I could never get through..." Trowa was very tempted to open his mouth and tell her this was not true. Yes he was there for her when she needed someone to cry on, but even when he would help comfort her, he was never able to actually get to her to talk to him.
"I couldn't help you," Trowa whispered as he turned away from her, "I tried, but I didn't help at all." Relena stared at him in confusion for a moment before walking over to him. Resting her hand on his shoulder she walked in front of him and said, "Trowa, that's not true! You helped me through so much; you were always the person I could rely on when ever I was feeling down..." Tears were forming in her eyes now as she whispered, "I even, I mean, with you, with what I had with Wufei, it wasn't anything compared to what I felt for y-" Trowa lifted his fingers to her lips at that moment, causing her to look up at him with a hurt expression over her face.
Bringing his hands up to her cheeks, he brushed away some of her tears with his thumbs and rested his forehead against hers.
"Relena, that was in the past. What happened then does not apply anymore. I will still be here for you when you need me but, I can't be anything more..." Trowa felt about ready to kick himself at that moment, why would he want to push her away when he actually wanted her with him? Those words which she was so close to saying were words which he had been longing to hear for a very, very long time now. All he wanted was to voice out his feelings for her and show her just how much she meant to him, but no, he couldn't, he missed out on his opportunity a long time ago.
Without saying anything more, Trowa released his hold on Relena and turned to leave the room without looking back once. Here he was, walking away from her once again, but this was all he could do. It was made perfectly clear that he was not meant for her, that he was not good enough to be with her and the worse part to this was, he didn't even defend himself about it either...
******Flashback******
As Trowa made his way to the car park, he took notice of Wufei getting into his car with Meiran and Midii and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes on him as he made his way to his own car. Wufei started up his car and went to drive out of the car park but when he caught sight of Trowa he instantly gave him one of his death glares before driving off. Ever since that little incident at the mall, Wufei had been a lot colder towards him, even more so than usual, but it's not like Trowa gave much notice to it. Wufei always seemed to be in a foul mood even when he wasn't having any issues so quite frankly, Trowa couldn't give a damn.
It wasn't until he reached his car that he was surprised to actually see Heero leaning against it. Hiding his surprise to see him there, Trowa walked towards the driver's side door in order to unlock his car. He opened the door at that moment but didn't make any move to get in; instead he turned to look at Heero and waited to hear what he had to say.
"I hear you have been spending a lot of time with Relena lately," Heero started as he pushed himself off Trowa's car. Trowa remained silent as he watched Heero turn to face him. His prussian blue eyes narrowed on him slightly before he continued, "Don't forget your place Trowa, I won't stop you from talking to her but you better not do anything else besides that."
"If you're worried, why don't you talk to her yourself?" Trowa asked. Heero glared at him at that moment and slowly started to approach him.
Standing right in front of him, Heero glared straight into Trowa's eyes and said, "You have nothing compared to me. Don't you even start thinking you?ve got the better of me because of Relena. She deserves better than what you could ever provide her so don't you dare try to do anything behind my back or I will seriously make you pay." With that said Heero pushed past him and made his way towards his own car, leaving Trowa deep in thought over his words just now.
******End of Flashback******
Trowa didn't understand the meaning in Heero's words back then, but it wasn't long until it all made sense to him in the end. By his word, Trowa made no move to make his friendship with Relena anything more than it was. After all, he had nothing to offer her right? Unlike Heero and Wufei, he didn't have the money to throw around with as he pleased. It seemed money and power was more important in a relationship than what love seemed to be so Trowa had no chance with her. As stupid as that explanation seemed to be, he knew better then to believe such a thing but he merely obeyed just to prove a point. It hasn't been made yet but when it does, Heero will regret trying to even think he could do as he pleased with Relena's life.
********************************
Leaning against the wall down the back of the family room, Quatre starred down at his drink and stirred it around a little. This was his fifth drink so far and he wondered if this should be his last. His head was already beginning to spin and he wanted to keep an eye on things so he was not about to get himself totally drunk like Mariemaia and the rest of them. Looking up at the karaoke machine which Mariemaia had set up, he saw her up there singing a Britney Spear's song. Quatre sighed when he had to keep hearing the same repeated 'Oops! I did it again' tune, it was beginning to drive him up the wall.
"Hey Quatre!" Duo said as he stumbled his way over to the blonde, "Great party eh?"
"Yes, quite," Quatre replied as he raised an eyebrow at him.
"Geez Quatre, you could have said that with a bit more enthusiasm!" Duo said as he slapped Quatre a few times over the back, "Eh well, what can I do? You never let yourself go do you?" Holding his drink up to him as he wobbled about a little he added, "Don't be afraid to have a good time already! Geez, eighteen only comes once!!" Waving his hand about at the numerous other people, Duo continued, "See? Look at everyone else here! Even I-" His eyes widened at that moment when he caught guard of something across the room, causing Quatre to look at him in question.
"Hell yeah! You can't have a sculling contest without me!" Duo yelled as he made his way to the small group of guys drinking four litre canisters of beer.
Quatre watched him go for a moment and wondered if he should stop him, although he made no move to. Alex and Mueller were at the drinking competitions as well, and judging by the way they were stumbling around, they seemed to be just as much out of it as what Duo was. Looking up at the mini stage again, Quatre's eyes widened when he saw Relena suddenly up there as well, holding a drink in hand as she smiled at Mariemaia.
"Hey Rel, came up her to sing with me too eh!?" Mariemaia asked as she held onto Relena's shoulder for support.
"Damn straight I have! Can't have you singing up here on your own ya know!" Relena said as she took hold of Mariemaia's hand which held the microphone, "Come on! Just like old times ok?"
"Yeah! Rock on!!!" Mariemaia yelled as she stumbled on the cord of the microphone and fell over, causing Relena to fall on top of her as well. What got better was when Relena's drink had landed all over Mariemaia' body at that moment too, causing Mariemaia to shriek at the coldness at first but laughed as she got them both up again.
As they both started singing together on the stage, some guy from the crowd suddenly yelled, "Come on, dance for us!!!" Mariemaia and Relena looked down at him for a moment and laughed at his request, although many other guys were starting to demand the same thing and were soon chanting for them to. Quatre was getting worried now, judging by the drunken faces of his two female friends, he was beginning to wonder if they even knew what was going on.
"You want us to dance now!? God, make up your mind!" Mariemaia said as she began to laugh. Turning to Relena she wrapped her arm around her waist and pressed her body up against hers saying, "How is this!?" The guys were whistling at them now, making wolf calls as they begged for them to keep going. Relena smiled at Mariemaia and rubbed her hands over her bare legs. Mariemaia then kissed Relena on the cheek, causing the guys to go crazy, begging for more in the process.
Before anything else could happen, Quatre made his onto the stage and dragged both of them down, ignoring the insults that were being thrown his way. There was no way that Quatre was about to have Mariemaia and Relena do something they will regret later, if that kiss wasn't already enough. Bringing them into the lounge room he sat them both on a sofa and said, "I think you two need to rest for a bit alright?"
"Aww, Quatre! You ruined our show!" Mariemaia whined as she grabbed hold of his arm, "What will my fans think of me now!?" Quatre just raised an eyebrow at her and wondered if she even knew where she was anymore.
Hilde walked in at that moment and took Mariemaia's free hand and asked, "Hey Marie! I need a dancing partner!"
"Well, I'm sorry to inform you but I ain't Trowa," Mariemaia slurred as she got herself pulled onto her feet, "But I can dance, hell yeah I can dance!"
"That's all I need," Hilde said as she wrapped Mariemaia's arm around her neck, "Come on, let?s go." Hilde turned to leave at that moment but tripped on the rug which was curled up in front of them, sending both girls onto the ground. Quatre went over to them at that moment and got them onto their feet and sighed when they burst out laughing.
"Aw Quatre, join us!" Mariemaia asked as she wrapped her arm around his waist.
"Yeah Quatre, we promise you will have a good time!" Hilde said as she wrapped her arm around him as well.
"Um, thanks but I think I should watch over Miss Relena, "Quatre replied, causing both girls to pout as they released their hold on him.
"Relena, Relena, Relena, always Relena. Are we not good enough for you Quatre?" Hilde said as she then pushed him away from her.
"Oh don't be sad, "Mariemaia said as she took her hand, "I am still here! Now, how about that dance?"
"Right on! But who plays as the guy?"
"What guy?"
"Well we can't dance if we?re both females."
"Well, you look more like a guy so you play it."
"Why me?"
"Oh fine, I will be the guy," Mariemaia said as she tried lifting Hilde off the ground in a heroic way but as she tried to, it resulted in both of them walking into the wall.
"Geez, watch where you are going buddy!" Hilde mouthed off at the wall as she dragged Mariemaia out the door, which was right next to them. Quatre watched them go and wondered if it was such a good idea to let them go out there again. Everyone was totally off their faces and Quatre was beginning to wonder what's going to happen later in the morning. Peering down at his watch, he found the time being close to twelve o'clock. Turning to Relena, he found her suddenly laughing her head off which didn?t make any sense to him at all.
"What's so funny?" Quatre asked as she then smiled at him.
"Have you ever gotten drunk?" Relena asked.
Staring at her for a moment he shook his head and replied, "No I haven't."
"Aww, you are missing out majorly," Relena replied as she turned to stare up at the ceiling, smiling at the blurry vision she was getting from the flashing lights above her. Quatre just stared at her and wondered what the good side to getting drunk was suppose to be. Sure it may help you have a great time but for one thing, it makes you do the most stupidest things without thinking of the consequences and in the end, it results in you having the most unbearable hangovers later on.
"I can never help myself," Relena said, "And I promised myself not to over drink either. Yep, just one I said, just one. Now look at me!" Turning to Quatre once again, she smiled as she got up and walked over to him, "You are so sweet Quatre, have I ever told you that?" Quatre watched her come up to him and tensed when she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Miss Relena..." Quatre said as he brought his hands up to her arms, "You are drunk, I insist that you go back to the sofa to rest a little longer."
Smiling at him, Relena pressed her body up against his and whispered, "Can you keep me company?" Before Quatre could reply, Relena turned him towards the sofa and pressed his back against it. Quatre's eyes widened at her actions and started getting nervous when Relena suddenly climbed on top of him. Relena smiled as she brought her head closer to his and leaned her head down by his ear, "You are very cute Quatre. Do you what to know how much you turned me on when I saw you working out that day?" Quatre couldn't help but blush at that comment, causing Relena to smile.
Quatre didn't know what to do, talking didn't seem to work and even when he tried brushing her off him, that resulted with him on the sofa so he was pretty much in a helpless position. This was not helping him one bit, he knew logically that he needed to get her off him before she did anything which she would regret later. She was already saying things which she normally wouldn't say so he needed to stop her before she did anything. What caught him off guard was when he suddenly felt Relena's soft lips around his ear lobe. He stiffened when he felt her nibbling softly on his ear, sending electricity down his down his body as he moaned with pleasure.
It was then that Relena's lips then traveled to his neck, pressing soft kisses down his throat. Quatre closed his eyes to savour the feeling he was getting from her kisses, he knew he should stop her but part of him didn't want this to end. He was fully aware of what was going on around him, but he had been drinking himself so his logic wasn't in its common state of mind at the moment. Part of him knew that he should stop her, his mind was screaming for him to put an end to this, although his heart was saying otherwise. His head was spinning and he was beginning to feel a little drowsy himself.
Reaching his hands up to her back, he rubbed his hands along the fish net material slowly but as his hands found their way up to her shoulders he quickly flipped her over, making him now the one on the top. Looking down at her as he took in deep breaths of air to settle his pounding heart he whispered, "Don't do this Miss Relena, you don't know what you are doing and I can't take advantage on you like this... It's not right." There, he did it, although it took more than what he thought it would.
Looking into his eyes at that moment, Relena stared at him blankly and said, "But he would have wanted me to do this if I was still with him. Since I didn't, he hated me for it..." Tears started swelling up in her eyes now as she turned her head off to the side, "I didn't love him enough; I was the one in the wrong..."
Quatre brushed away the tears that were cascading down her face, and slowly got him self off her body. What did she mean by 'he'? Who was she referring to just now? Turning his soft gaze towards hers he said, "I'm just going to get you some water ok?" Relena didn't answer; instead she closed her eyes and turned her back on him as she curled up into a ball on the sofa. Quatre looked at her sadly for a moment before turning to leave the room, he would help her if he knew what she was referring to but since she was drunk, he had no way of knowing if this was anything to worry about or not.
He had bigger problems of his own to settle though; he was very close to taking Relena right there and then. Luckily she didn't kiss him on the lips; otherwise he knew he wouldn't be able to stop himself from being with her. These feelings he had for her needed to be rid of, and very soon too.
Bring his hand to his forehead as he made his way through the swaying bodies of people dancing to some disco music, Quatre was beginning to wonder if maybe he should be the one laying down. One thing was for certain, if he went back and allowed Relena to do what she did to his body just now, he knew he would lose control and take her if it was in his power to. It wasn't right to think like that, but he was male, and considering that he had been drinking, logic wasn't in the picture anymore.
********************************
Closing the sliding door behind him, Duo stumbled his way over to one of the tables and sat himself down on the nearest chair. He needed air, his head was pounding because of the music and his stomach was beginning to turn. He was thankful to see no one else out here, he needed quiet and the time to clear his head as well. This party was definitely one of the best that he had been to for a while; everyone was completely off their faces and were having a wild time. But after the party was over, he and the rest of the group will be the ones stuck doing all the cleaning the next day, 'How fun, I can't wait.'
Suddenly he heard the sliding door opening behind him, causing him to sigh when he was hoping for some peace. Turning his head in the direction of the person coming to sit down at his table, he eyes widened when he found it being Dorothy. Dorothy of all people! Now he REALLY wished for some time alone. If he had to put up with someone, she would be the last one on his list.
Watching as she put her drink on the table as she went to lean her head in her folded arms, Duo grinned and said, "Well, if it isn't little Miss. Prissy, I haven't had any insults thrown my way for quite some time from you now."
"Get lost Duo, I didn't come here to get any shit from you," Dorothy said as she raised her head up to his to glare at him, "Quite frankly, you can go screw yourself for all I care now leave me alone you asshole."
"Whoa, hey now, watch the language girl, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" Duo asked as he raised an eyebrow at her, "Besides, I was out here first."
"If I wasn't mistaken, YOU were the one who started on ME first, so what right do you have to say such things to when really I should be the one saying what you said back at you instead."
Duo just stared at her blankly for a moment there, not understanding a word of what she had just said. Instead he gave her a big smile and wrapped his arm around her shoulders saying, "You know, even if you my totally hate my guts and wish I were dead and what not, I reckon you should stop throwing your anger out at me already. It's not good for you after all, hell it's not good for me either." Duo laughed at that moment, although he was surprised that Dorothy hadn't tried throwing him to the ground yet since he had his arm around her.
Dorothy grinned at that comment and said, "I would have to say that I disagree with you there. In point of fact, throwing you?re anger out on others actually feels good believe it or not. Even if you don't have a problem with them specifically, it makes things easier on you that way." Once again Duo had trouble trying to get what she was on about. Dorothy turned to face him at that moment and as her blue eyes came in contact with his cobalt blue ones, he could instantly tell she was pretty much wasted as well. No wonder he couldn't understand her, she must speak a lot of crap when ever she gets drunk.
"You agree with me do you not Duo? It is good throwing out your anger on others to ease the pain which you are feeling on the inside correct? Yes it is rather rude for the person who is insulting them to do such a thing since the person getting insulted didn't do anything wrong to them. But the person who is insulting them makes things easier on themselves since the person they insulted didn't do anything to them and wouldn't know what their problem is anyway so no matter what they do, it wouldn't be able to affect the person insulting them."
Dorothy smirked at him at that moment and went to grab her drink at that moment and smiled as she leaned back to drink the whole glass. Duo watched as she was drinking and couldn't help but notice how sexy she seemed at the moment. She was wearing a glittery purple top which cut in a very low 'V' shape and wore a black skirt which had very high cut slits down each side, revealing a lot of her legs.
Gasping for air as she finished the whole thing off, she threw it behind her and suddenly sat herself down on Duo's lap, "You know, have I ever told you how much I envy you?" Duo was beginning to sober after having the shock of her suddenly sitting on his lap. If things couldn't get any stranger, she is suddenly saying she envies him!? Duo opened his mouth to inquire about this but Dorothy beat him to it, "You are an ignorant, self-centered bastard who cares about no one but himself."
Duo was getting even more confused now. Watching as Dorothy raised her hands to his shoulders she added, "But that's what I like so much about you. You don't take any shit from nobody. You do as you please, hell, you're the happiest guy I know yet you have nothing compared to me! How is it that you have more happiness than I do when I am the one with the money and the power to do what ever I want!?" Wrapping her hands around Duo's neck as she leaned closer to him she whispered, "Why can't I be happy like you? I hate you for being so god damn proud of yourself."
This was a shock to the system now, Duo knew people had a way with speaking crap when they get drunk but there were others who held no hesitation in telling their darkest secrets at the same time. He always assumed that Dorothy was just a stuck up bitch who would do anything for attention and just hated him because he was actually one of the few people at school who would stand up for himself. Would she remember herself telling him this later on?
"Err, Dorothy, I don't know what to say. Do you feel like talking at the moment?" Duo asked as he looked up at her. Dorothy looked at him with a blank expression for a moment while her head was beginning to spin. Smiling at him as she tightened her hold around his neck, she started lowering her head down towards his and before Duo could even realise what was going on, he went into shock when he suddenly felt her lips pressed up against his. Bringing his hands up to her arms in order to release himself from her hold, he was surprised to suddenly feel his chair tip over. Now being stuck on the ground with Dorothy now on top of him, she chuckled a little and went back to kissing him.
There were three problems with this. One - when Dorothy finally gets some sense knocked into her, she will seriously consider kicking his arse for this (even though this wasn't his fault). Two - what would Quatre think if he found out he got physically attached to his sister while she was drunk? He would probably think he got her drunk on purpose so he could do this with her. And finally, three - why was he letting this continue? Was he actually enjoying this? How could he? He hated this girl... didn't he?
********************************
Quatre was relieved to find no one in the kitchen, the whole house was so crowded that he assumed every room was packed so it was nice finally having some space to actually breath. Opening one of the cupboard doors which were above the kitchen counter, Quatre reached for a glass and went to the sink to get some water. His body still felt very over heated and he was finding hard to get the image of Relena kissing him out of his mind. He hoped that she won't remember any of this later, considering she didn't know what she was doing, she could very well hate him for allowing her to behave in such a way. Taking a deep breath as he rubbed fingers over his eye lids, Quatre hoped for the party to end soon, this was all becoming too much for him to take.
"Maybe I should have drunk myself stupid as well," Quatre murmured to himself, at least he wouldn't have to concern himself over any of this. It seemed to be normal so why was he the only one worrying so much? Just as he turned the tap off, his senses went off when he suddenly heard something behind him. Turning his vision towards the entrance of the kitchen, he raised an eyebrow and thought, 'Hang on, I don't remember closing the door when I walked in here.'
"Hello Quatre," a feminine voice spoke behind him, causing Quatre to flinch when he recognized whose voice it was.
Slowly turning his body around to face the person, he gave them a forced smile and said, "Hello, Miss. Sylvia, how are you, this... morning." Sylvia chuckled a little at as she slowly walked up to him, her red high heeled sandals echoing around the room as they were brought down on the tiled floor. Stopping right in front of him she gave Quatre a seductive smile and brought her hands up to his chest.
"I've missed you," Sylvia said as she trailed one of her hands over the buttons of his dark blue top, "I haven't had the chance to talk to you for a while."
"Well, I will have all the time to talk to you later but right now, I have to go." Just as Quatre tried walking around her, he was stopped when she suddenly stepped in front of him.
Letting out a little yawn as she stretched her arms over her head she bucked her eye lashes at him and asked innocently, "I haven't had the chance to ask you what you thought about my outfit." Slowly bringing her hands to her face as she then let them slowly travel down her neck and chest, she allowed them to slowly slip down between her breasts and made them stay there. Quatre watched every movement of her hands and couldn't help but feel his temperature rising again as he flushed a little. The red top she was wearing did indeed look nice, as skimpy and revealing as it was, although it didn't compare to Relena's top which was twice as revealing as hers.
"Um, it's very nice Miss Sylvia," Quatre answered, "Now, if you will excuse me I-" Sylvia backed Quatre into the corner of the counter at that moment and smiled as she turned her back on him. Quatre watched her quizzically for a moment before he suddenly saw her hands bring her ash blonde hair over her head, allowing him to gaze upon her back.
"Quatre, I have a slight problem, I can't seem to tie the lace at the back of my top up again. Would you mind?" Bringing his vision down to her top, he did indeed see the lace untied behind her, although he had to wonder how it even came undone in the first place. Standing there for a moment, Quatre suddenly remembered that he had to go give Relena some water but how was he going to do that with Sylvia preventing him from doing so? His head was beginning to spin again; this definitely wasn't a good thing either, especially with Sylvia around.
"Come on Quatre, don't be shy," Sylvia insisted, smiling to herself as she started backing up towards him. Pressing her buttocks firmly onto Quatre's thigh, Sylvia lowered her head and arched her back slightly to give Quatre more access to her body. Quatre could feel sweat building up on his forehead now, if things weren't already bad enough with Relena hitting onto him, he now had Sylvia to worry about. The difference here though was that Sylvia didn't seem drunk, in point of fact, she seemed very well aware of what she was doing. What Quatre wouldn't give to have someone save him right about now.
Slowly bringing his hands up as he went to grab hold of the laces hanging down Sylvia's top, Quatre could feel his mouth going dry as he tried keeping his nerves it a minimal. Being as careful as he could to not touch Sylvia's skin, he slowly brought the laces into his grasp and went to tie them back into a bow. His hands were shaking like mad as he tried tying the laces together. He couldn't bring himself to relax, with the way Sylvia was rubbing herself over his body like she was, Quatre was finding it harder and harder to remain in control. As sober as he assumed he was, he couldn't deny that the drinks he had consumed were beginning to screw around with his mind. He was in a dangerous position, he knew it, yet he was doing nothing to get out of it.
Sylvia smirked to herself as she could feel Quatre's nervous hands work on her top. He was trying to be gentle, she could tell, although she wasn't sure how long she could just stand around like this. Turning to face him, throwing her undone laces out of mind, she smiled at him and brought her hands up to his cheeks. Quatre sighed as he closed his eyes, savoring the way she was touching him. This was like the way she touched him at school when they were in the library. Back then, he didn't have alcohol in his system so he could remain in control of his body. Although this time, he was finding it harder and harder to not be tempted by her.
Sylvia was indeed beautiful, and she obviously knew how to make a guy swoon. Her touch over his body was heavenly and he could feel his legs getting weaker and weaker by the moment. Sylvia brought her hands down to the collar of his shirt and followed her hands down to the buttons which separated her from his well defined chest. As she went to undo them, Quatre's hands slowly grasped her wrists in order to stop her, although she could tell he was giving into his urges.
"Please, Miss. Sylvia... Don't..." Quatre pleaded his voice barely above a whisper.
"The question is? Do you want me to stop?" Sylvia asked, leaning her head up towards his ear, "Do you... Quatre?" She whispered seductively. Quatre's vision was beginning to blur now, he was tired and the alcohol was beginning to make him drowsy. Lowering his eyes to hers, Quatre blinked at her for a few moments and brought his hands up to her shoulders in order to push her off him. Although when he did, he didn't push her away, instead he brought her closer to his body. Sylvia smiled as she worked on the buttons of his shirt, pressing kisses onto his chest as she was doing so. Quatre closed his eyes and leaned his head on her shoulder, allowing his warm hands to drift behind her back.
Quatre felt his shirt fully undone at that moment, he could feel her hands rubbing against him and all he wanted was for her to keep going. Sylvia smiled to herself as she felt Quatre's hands work up and down her body, she moaned with pleasure at his touch. Leaning her head up to his, she smiled sweetly at him as she slowly allowed her head to come closer to his. Her focus was on nothing but his lips, how she longed to taste them and now, it seemed that her opportunity has finally come. Quatre looked down at her at that moment and saw her head coming closer to his. He however remained still as he watched this unfold before him, should he kiss her? Did he really want her that badly?
********************************
Relena stirred around on the sofa for a moment before getting herself into sitting position, her head was spinning and her throat was dry. Was it just her imagination or wasn't Quatre suppose to be getting her a drink or something? In her state of mind though, she brushed it off as some hallucination. Slowly bringing herself to her feet, she longed for another drink but she once again fell back into the sofa.
Muttering curses to herself she went to try again but was surprised to suddenly see a drink being handed to her. Sighing with relief she took the glass thankfully and went to scull the whole thing down her mouth. She had expected it to be water but instead it was more vodka and she coughed a little at first. She felt someone patting her back at that moment and she turned to ask Quatre why he didn't get her water but went into a state of shock when she found it being...
"W-Wufei? What are you doing here?" Relena asked, trying to focus her eyes on the Chinese man before her. She couldn't see his face very well, although she knew it was him because of his dark complexion and black hair.
"I came to the party like everyone else," Wufei replied.
"Oh, yeah well that's obvious. I was just curious as to why YOU are here," Relena said as she tapped her finger on his nose.
"To celebrate Mariemaia's eighteenth, like everyone else," Wufei simply replied. Relena stared at him blankly for a moment before she suddenly burst into laughter. Wufei stared at her blankly for a moment as Relena tried calming herself down, although it wasn't quite working.
"Oh please Wufei," Relena said between laughs, "Like you would give a damn about her birthday! Like hell most of the people HERE would give a damn about her birthday. They are just here for the free drinks and food!" Relena continued laughing, since she found it so stupid for Wufei to actually 'care' about things like this. She knew him better than that and she almost felt offended that Wufei would expect her believe that story. Leaning her head on his lap in order to calm herself down, she suddenly felt Wufei's fingers tracing lines around her back.
Bringing her head up towards him again, she let out a few more chuckles before asking, "No seriously, why are you here?"
"You don't believe me?" Wufei asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Damn straight I don't, you could fool anyone else with that poor explanation but you would have to do better than THAT on me!"
Wufei smiled at her at that moment and shifted a little closer to her, "What makes you think I'm lying?"
Tapping her index finger under her lower lip, she pondered over it for a while before turning to him saying, "Because you are the type not to give a shit about other people's feelings."
"Oh really? And what gave you that impression?" Wufei asked, shifting a little closer to her with his leg now touching her own.
"Well, for one thing, you hate Mariemaia so I can't see how you would be here to celebrate her birthday. Secondly, you don't usually celebrate anyone's birthday for that matter, whether if it is Mariemaia's or Trowa's or what ever. Thirdly, you?re always busy anyway so you don't usually attend things like this..." Pausing for a moment she turned her vision towards his and asked, "Have I made my point clear?"
Wufei's arm wrapped itself around Relena's waist at that moment, "Is there anything else you would want to criticize me for?"
"Um, actually." Looking around for a moment she asked, "Where?s your bitch?"
Wufei stared at her blankly and asked, "My what?"
"Your girl friend, the one who will gives you sexual pleasure when ever you desire it," Relena blurted out.
"Oh, Midii," Wufei simply replied, "She is around, somewhere."
"Funny, I thought she would be by your side," Looking over Wufei's shoulder she added, "Unless if she has taken an invisible form now..."
"You're really drunk aren't you?"
"Who wants to know? I'm celebrating Mariemaia's birthday for real!" Holding up her empty glass she continued, "Unlike you I actually care about the people around me and I am here to show that."
Wufei snorted at that and brought his other hand up to her raised one, "I care. It just depends on who you're talking about." Releasing her hand from the empty glass as it fell to the ground he wrapped his fingers around hers and lowered her hand to his lips, kissing them softly.
Relena stared at him blankly for a moment before saying, "If you say you do care? then how come I have never seen it before?"
Tightening his hold on Relena as he brought her hand up to his cheek he looked at her intently and answered, "I wasn't aware back then..." Leaning closer to her he finished, "... Until now..." Relena remained blank. Tilting her head off to the side a little, she opened her mouth to say something but was silenced when she felt Wufei's lips pressed up against hers. Relena's eyes widened at first, though the spinning in her head was making things harder for her to process what was going on.
Opening her mouth slightly as she moaned against his lips, she was surprised to suddenly feel Wufei's tongue invade her mouth as it began dancing around her mouth. She felt her body being lowered to the sofa at that moment and felt Wufei's body now pressed on top of hers. In desperate need for air she pulled away slightly and gasped as she allowed air to finally enter in her lungs. Relena looked up at Wufei for a moment and moaned as she felt Wufei's hands rub against her hips. His hands then traveled to her stomach and started working their way up Relena's fish net top.
"Wufei, what about, Midii," Relena sighed as she brought her hands up to his wrists to stop him. Without an answer, Relena suddenly felt herself being pulled off the sofa, causing her to stumble and fall within Wufei's embrace. Rising off the sofa so suddenly caused her head to spin even more than it already was, although it seemed as though she was being lead out the room and into the family one. Wufei had his arm around her waist and was guiding her through the crowds of people in the room. Before she knew it, Relena felt herself being dragged up some stairs.
"Wufei...?" Relena whispered as she heard a door opening. It was dark but the moon light from the window to the far side of the room shone brightly to give some view on where she was. A bedroom. Relena was now lowered onto the king sized bed, her head laying on one of the numerous pillows on the bed head. Closing her eyes at the comfort of the bed, she tensed slightly when she felt Wufei's body making its way up hers. Lowering his head towards her own, Wufei pressed his lips against Relena?s and began kissing her passionately as his hands started making their way up her top once more.
"Wufei," Relena sighed against his mouth, "What about Midii...?"
"I don't give a damn about her," Wufei replied as he started nibbling on her ear lobe.
"But, she is your, girl friend," Relena moaned.
"No she isn't," Wufei replied as he brought his head up to look in her eyes, "If anyone is my girl friend, you are..."
Relena looked up at him in confusion and said, "B-but you, you went off with Midii..." Tears started swelling up in her eyes at that moment, "You went behind my back with Midii for months before she suddenly kissed you in front of me at the cafe that day..."
Wufei rubbed his thumbs over her cheeks softly and said, "I don't want her, I want you, I need you... And I want you now..." Before she knew it, her fish net top had been pulled off her body, leaving her in nothing but the skimpy boob tube top Mariemaia had made her wear. Sending kisses down her neck and throat as he continued to lower his head down her body and stopped when he came across her top. Bring his hand up to untie the lacing which held the top around Relena's breasts, Relena's hand quickly grabbed hold of his, stopping him from going any further.
"Relena, you can't say that you don't feel for me anymore," Wufei said as he looked down at her, "I got you this far, why are you stopping now?"
Tears began to cascade down Relena's eyes once more as she whispered, "This was the reason why you went behind my back in the first place... Because I didn't want to..."
Softly brushing his lips against hers he looked down at her with his black eyes and said, "I love you, and you feel the same way about me..." Gently trying to brush his hand out of her grasp he lowered his head to her ear and whispered, "You know what happened when you continuously turned me down, don't repeat what you regretted then. Take this opportunity to right a wrong which you did in the past... I'm here now, and I won't let go..." Relena continued to sob quietly to herself as the past started flooding into her head once more.
?I never broke up with you, and you never broke up with me. Therefore, you are still mine.? Relena closed her eyes at that moment and indeed found his statement being true. They never did call if off between them but considering that he went off with Midii; didn?t that automatically mean a break up? As much as she didn?t want to this right now, she couldn?t deny that she didn't want to be lonely anymore. She didn't want to be judged, she needed him? She needed his strength... Squeezing her eye lids more tightly together to stop the tears from falling, she slowly released her hold on his hand and dropped it to the bed.
********************************
Author's Note: Whooo!! I mean *coughs* Oh dear, Quatre, Duo, Relena *shakes head* that?s what happens when you drink too much.
Although you have to wonder about the people taking advantage on them huh? Hehehe, well, this will be sorted out in the next chapter. I'm sorry that I didn't keep my word about Trowa, Heero and Wufei!!! 
I wanted to put everything in this chapter, really I did!! But it just didn't work :evil: But don't worry, it is all in the next chapter!! 
Next time I will be sure to keep my mouth zipped shut instead of promising things which I won't keep in the end. I will say everything about them in the next chapter PROMISE! No wait; I wasn't supposed to promise anymore was I? Ok, scrap that last bit lol 
It did mention some things about Trowa, Heero and Wufei so I wasn't all THAT much of a liar. Not everything was stated but you know, my chapters are already long enough without me needing to add more right?
