Admire the Beauty
He had been working all day in the hot and sticky heat. The sun beat down on him making him sweat from it and the work. He had taken his shirt off long ago and he was close to ripping his shorts off, leaving him in his boxers. But he hadn?t done that yet. In fact, he knew the idea would never turn into an action because of the neighborhood he lived in. Nevertheless, he continued to work as the now red sun began to set in the sky leaving behind high heat and humidity.
Whipping the sweat from his brow, he continued to tinker with the engine of his new Dodge Viper GST/R. He had gotten it a week ago and at the time couldn?t wait until the weekend so he could mess around and modify it. He had been doing a really good job on it on his own, but he knew he could have gotten more done and done a better job if his two best friends were there. Pushing the thought aside, he tightened another nut and bolt.
?Duuuuoooo!? The sweet sound of his name being called by such a soft and heavenly voice made him smile. He looked up to see his beautiful wife standing on the porch of their house with a smile on her lips and her hands on her hips. His smile growing even wider, he placed the wrench he was using down before meandering to his heavenly love.
Taking her into his arms, he asked, ?Yeah, babe??
She wrinkled her nose before replying, ? For starters, you?re sweaty and stinky. You need a shower! Oh, and Quatra and Dorothy are coming over soon so you better clean up.
?So sweet?and honest too! Okay, jus let me pick up my tools and put my car in the garage.?
?Oh, I?ll just get one of the mechanics to do if for you. You just go and get your self a shower!?
Chuckling, he kissed her on the nose before running inside to take a hot shower.
When Duo finished with his shower, he dried his hair, quickly but neatly braided it, and dressed. He chose an outfit that was not too formal, not too casual, yet not too laid back since he knew that just Dorothy and Quatra were coming over. He knew they wouldn?t mind, or at least he hopped they wouldn?t mind. They were both politics and very formal but they were all friends so he figured it didn?t mater.
Making his way down stairs, he found his darling wife sitting in the library dressed in a cute little spring dress decorated in pink and purple flowers. She sat reading one of her books on poverty and how to solve it as the maids cleaned around her. The setting sun shinning in through the window lit her up like an angel and caught a sparkle of her eye. It was one of the most magnificent sights he had ever seen, aside from seeing her in his arms sleeping in the dead of night.
Admiring the beauty before him, he slowly walked up behind her and slowly slid his hands onto her shoulders. He felt her tense for a second before she relaxed from the familiar grip. Slowly leaning down so his lips were level with her ear, he asked softly, ? ?Leana, must you tease me like this right before our guests arrive??
She giggled before replying, ?My intention was not to lease you, Duo.?
?Than what was your intention??
?Um?to look cute??
?Well, you did a good job because I think that dress makes you look angelic when the sun hits you just so.?
?Oh come on, Duo! Get serous!? Setting her book down on the side table, she looked up into Duo?s bright cobalt blue eyes.
?I am being serous,? he whispered before catching her lips with his for a long lingering kiss. When he pulled away, she looked into his eyes before smile. ?Our guests have arrive.? Seconds later, the door bell rang.
Sitting at the dinner table with Quatra, Dorothy, and his wife Releana, Duo ate and conversed about politics. [Sigh. I don?t mind politics, but I was hoping for something more interesting.] Toying with his food with his fork, he thought of a way he could get out of tea in the library and more politics talk later.
?Duo??
?Huh?? Looking up, Duo realized Releana had said his name.
?Are you okay??
?Uh, yeah! Q-man! Have you talked to Heero lately??
?No, not lately. Why?? asked Quatra before taking a sip of his wine.
?Oh, just wondering. I haven?t talked to him in a while,? Duo responded softly.
?So anyway, I told Senator Johnson that it would work if we-? Releana continued to talk as Duo nursed his own wine.
[Politics, politics, politics. Blah, blah, blah. I?m glad she doesn?t talk about it in bed. Hehehe. Thank God! Hehehe?]
Later that night, after tea and more talk about politics, Duo sat in the library reading his book about a murder mystery. Adjusting his reading glasses (an: I think he would look really HOT with small reading glasses?^^), he sighed and continued to read. After a few minutes, he grew bored and set the book down. Removing his glasses, he realized Releana wasn?t in the room with him. Looking around the large house, he was relieved to find his beloved wife relaxing in a steamy bubble bath. Standing in the doorway between the bathroom and their bedroom, he crossed his arms and admired his love as she soaked in the hot water.
After a few minutes (an: what is with me and having him wait a few minutes?!), with stealth, he made his way behind the tub and gently placed his hands on Releana?s shoulders. Gasping in surpirse, Releana looked back to see Duo smileing at her. Smileing back, she turned back around and relaxed.
?Ya know, you should really take a break from work every once in a while.? Duo commented softly as he gently massaged Releana?s neck and shoulders.
Closing her eyes, Releana replied, ?I can?t do that. You know that hun??
?yeah, I know. But it would be nice to have a week or so to ourselves.?
?I know what you mean. But I can?t simply call off all of my meetings and conferences. And no one can take my place. I have a job to do and it just takes a little more time than usual jobs.?
Relaxing his hands, Duo slid his arms down and around Releana?s shoulders. ?I love you, ?Leana.?
?I love you too, Duo.?
?I wish we could spend more time together.?
?Me too.?
?Yeah??
Lying in bed later that night with Releana wrapped in his arms, Duo found it strangely difficult not to cry. He had never had the urge to cry before. But for some reason, a very powerful urge to weep overwhelmed him. [Why do I feel like this? Is it because I feel I?m losing ?Leana? Is it because the only friends I have are sadly enough politics? Or is it because I don?t have friends anymore? Why?!]
Releana must have felt his distress because when his mind finally arrived back on earth, his eyes were caught by hers. ?Why are you still up, hunny??
?I, uh, couldn?t sleep. Sorry if I woke you.?
?No, it?s okay.? He pulled away from her and lay on his back. ?Duo, is
something bothering you??
He didn?t know why he said it, and he couldn?t explain where it came from. Nevertheless, the first thing he said was, ?Have you ever thought about having kids??
?What?!?
He blinked and thought for a second before replying, ?Kids. Have you ever wanted any??
?Well?yeah. I guess.?
?Then how come we don?t have any??
?I-?I don?t know.?
Rolling over on his side, he smiled, ?Then why don?t we have a baby??
?Um?Duo baby. That takes work.?
Duo rolled over onto Releana and sat up on her pelvis. ?We?ve been married for three years now?and we?ve only made love to each other once. And that was on our hunny moon. I say we make like bunnies and hop, hop, hop!? As he said each ?hop?, he bounced the bed a bit. Giggling, Releana threw her head back and was caught off guard when Duo kissed her collarbone. ?So what do you say? Bunnies or worms?? Duo asked quietly but with a hint of amusement in his voice. (an: I chose worms for the other option because?well think about it! ?worms don?t have sex! They?re hermaphrodites?which means they don?t mate! Get it? Mate like crazy, or don?t mate at all?)
?Umm?bunnies!?
Okay, critisize away! ^^

Okay, critisize away! ^^
Well, we'll see in the later chapters I guess! Now on to Chapter two! Peace out!
