It Happened To Me- Chapter Two


Relena awoke slowly a few hours later; she was taking time to stretch her stiff limbs when she noticed she was still in the bathtub- the water now lukewarm. She glanced down at her hands and wrinkled her nose in disgust. Her entire body had turned into a prune; all wrinkled and white. Gingerly, she climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel around herself. Quickly, she brushed her teeth and her hair before returning to her room to rummage through her suitcase for something to cover her bath wrinkles. Finally, she slipped on a pair of khaki pants and a white button up shirt. Relena decided against the make-up and pinned her hair up before exiting her room.

And there he sat. James was busy flipping through the channels to bother looking up. ?I see you?ve finally decided to return to the world of the living. Your secretary faxed over some papers for you to sign.? When he didn?t receive a reply, he looked up to see Relena standing and staring at him rather dejectedly, tears in her big, beautiful blue eyes. Groaning he pushed himself up and stalked over to her. ?What?s the matter with you??
Relena shrugged, ?I had hoped for something more along the lines of ?Hi Honey, how are you this evening???
James rolled his eyes, ?Relena, I?m not your knight in shining armor. We both know that. Stop living in the fairy tales and cheesy sitcoms.?
She gave him the best Yuy glare she could before even trying to calm down enough to respond. ?Oh yeah? Well I hate to break it to you ?buddy?, but we?re married now. And I?ll be damned if you?re going to go sleeping around behind my back. You may not love me, but I am your wife god damn it, and I think I deserve to be treated as such!?
With each sentence Relena took a menacing step forward and accented each word with an accusing shake of her head or hand. James rolled his eyes, taking humor and sarcasm as a route out of the precarious situation he now found himself in. ?Relena, please! Do you honestly think I would do anything like that and risk a headline scandal? I can see it now; the reporters outside our house, in our faces at work, harassing us in public! I?m not that stupid Relena!?
She sighed heavily, knowing he?d won the battle and noted mentally that he had used the word ?house? instead of ?home?.

She turned around, fleeing from the war zone. Relena made her way to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to find three different kinds of wine. Pulling out a bottle of red wine, she faced her husband again. ?Would you like some wine?? He shrugged and muttered something incoherent that Relena took as a ?yes?. After searching the cupboards, she found a wineglass and a tall juice glass. She filled the wineglass about one third of the way and filled the juice glass to the top. Taking both glasses and the bottle with her to the couch where James had reseated himself. She handed the wineglass to him and set the bottle on the table. He took one look at the solemn expressing across her face and downed the wine quickly. Relena grinned cheekily at him before working on her own glass.

After a few glasses each, Relena and James began to loosen up and talk to each other about things other than politics. Laughter filled the air, both male and female voices. Neither knew at that point exactly what was so funny, but damn! Whatever it was, it was hilarious.

Relena sat at one end of the couch, her legs crossed in front of her and her juice glass long since traded in for straight swigs from the bottle being passed between them. James leaned to the side with his head on her shoulder and his legs sprawled across the coffee table. She was currently examining something on his shirt. He looked up at her and wondered why he?d never seen exactly how pretty she was. He sat up and stared at her, while her gaze never left whatever it was that was so fascinating on his shirt. He whispered, ?Relena??
She looked up at him, her neck seeming to lose partial control and her head wobbled a bit. She licked her lips and stared at him some more. ?Huh??
James studied her face a moment more before leaning in and kissing her full on the lips. Relena didn?t protest, but instead encouraged his unusual advancements. When he scooped her up and carried her to her room she got what she had thought she wanted.


Uh? I?m not sure what to say?that wasn?t quite one of the stupid things she?s bound to do as this fic progresses. But, saying much more would spoil the rest of story. So? uh? Bye! ~*~Jess~*~
