Thanx Bookworm for pointing that out to me!
Nine Months
Chp. 2
The room was silent. All that you could hear was the clock ticking away and the scraping of a pen.
With a this and a that she was done. She put her pen down and looked at her masterpiece. A stick person with a missile that was heading straight for a pile of papers. She eyed it a bit and laughed. If her work kept going on any longer, she might even draw a picture of herself blowing up the diplomat buildings. She shook the thought out of her head. Nah, sounds too much like Heero.
She folded the piece of paper into an airplane and threw it, but the planes flight was cut short when a dark haired person walked through the door, quickly grabbing the flying object. He eyed the picture when he unfolded it and raised his left eyebrow. She shrugged and answered, "What?"
He folded the paper into a square and put it in his back pocket. Now it was her turn to look at him with an eyebrow raised.
"What do you want that for?" She asked while tapping her fingers on her hard, oakwood desk.
"For evidence, to show that it's your position that drove you to insanity." He simply stated.
"Very funny."
"Who said I was joking?"
Relena just smiled and shook her head. God, did she love him, even with his odd don't-push-me-i'm-trying sense of humor. Just then a voice filled the room, breaking their presence.
"Miss Relena, you have a call on line two."
"Thank you Clair." Said Relena as she pushed the blinking light that read 'Line 2'.Relena immediately lightened up more then she had all day when she saw who's face had popped up on the screen.
"Trowa!" She yelled with so much excitement that Heero winced when the sound waves hit his ears.
Relena had finally gotten to know Trowa so much that they actually considered themselves as brother and sister. Somehow, she just knew that this conversation was going to be about a girl. Since getting closer to Trowa, he actually started to talk more and was very active with girls. To simply state it short, he was a playboy.
"Hey Lena.", which was now the nickname that he always called her, "How are things back at the office?" He asked with a small smile. Yeah she worked on him, but she never said she did a great job, but he was improving so well. Most likely becuase of all the 'experiences' he's had but he was moving along. Now if only Heero could.
Relena groaned. "Let's not even get into that."
He smirked. "Well then that's great actually. I just wanted to know if you would be able to come down over to meet.....a friend of mine." He said with a nervous smile.
"...How long is this one going to last, Trowa?" She asked playfully. His right eye twitched and she laughed.
"Very funny. Everyone's already here. We're just waiting for you and Heero."
Relena paused and looked up at Heero, who was standing there, shaking his head no. She glared and smiled back at Trowa. "We'll be right over Trowa." Heero nearly fell.
Trowa nodded his approval and she terminated the link. She briefly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A routine that she always did when she could sense a big argument about to start. Getting off her chair, she met a horrible, spine chilling glare.
They both just glared at each other until he finally broke the silence with a flat off, "No."
"No what? You won't be able to make it?" She asked as she tilted her head in a way that even Heero had to admit was cute but pushed it to the back of his mind.
"Don't play cute with me." He said coldly.
Relena walked around her desk and gathered her things and put them in her briefcase. "Sorry Heero but I'm going, whether you like it or not." She said as she grabbed her jacket from the rack. She walked right past him, only to be stopped when he grabbed her wrist.
"Your work-"
"Already done."
"You don't need to-"
"Trowa's my friend. I have to."
"They're probably be-"
"Other girls? Of course. But that's still no excuse."
Heero grimaced. Damn she was good at this.
She released herself from his grip and walked by the door and waited. When he didn't move from his spot, she turned and asked, "Are you coming or what?"
She could hear him growl that made her grin with pleasure. That was pretty easy. Boy, she loved it when she won.
Having it as his duty to follow her wherever she went, he stormed out of the room. It was just one of those days when he actually hated his job.
Sorry it was short but....yea..I can't even think of an excuse...
