Relena, Stand By Me (5/?)

Relena, Stand By Me
Chapter Five: Hot Water

Behind the scenes with the author:
First of all, I didn?t like Ch.4 all that much and was about to impale myself upon my pen when I realized that it had run out of ink. I cried bitterly. Then, I went to eat supper which consisted of rice (Mm) and tofu (not-so-Mm) and was just sitting there at the tele(vision), waiting for my show to come on when I noticed this speck of dust on the window. Actually, it was a fly. I thought, what is a fly doing in the middle of February? I asked my dog, (she didn?t know) so I stood up, headed for the window, and stared at that fly. I started talking to it and discovered it was sock lint. During my conversation with that intelligent sock lint, this harebrained idea came up and I ran across the house, tripped on the stairs and flipped open my laptop to type it all down. And for everyone who managed to follow, please stop staring at me like that. *sweatdrops* This is NOT the real chapter you were all waiting for. It?s the next one.

(My squatty idea by yours truly. Enjoy)

?Milliardo!?

Lucrezia banged hard on the door that was shut to her. She heard someone groan loudly inside and she pummeled on the wood again with her fist.

?Milliardo, hurry up!? she yelled her loudest and she rattled the handle in fury. ?I need to go!?

But he was in the shower and had no intention of rushing himself at the moment. He turned the knobs to increase the pressure of the water to drown out his wife?s words of profanity.

?Milliardo you $%^#*!? she screeched.

?Yeah yeah.? He called out as he began to lather his body and cover himself in soap suds. He knew better than to take her seriously. She?d been having these mood swings lately and he just couldn?t figure out why. Take this morning for example.

?I?ll kill you!? she yelled again and the steamy bathroom mirror shook from the force his wife attacked the door with. She must be trying to kick it open now. Soon she?ll be dragging a chair and throwing it at the door.

?I have to GO!?

At the rate she was headed, it sounded like Lucrezia was using a battering ram instead of her fists.

bang bAnG B.A..N?G.

?Open the damn door!?

The door shuddered painfully as she rattled the handle aggressively. The screws in the hinges were starting to come out?

Unable to ignore her voice any longer, he stalked out of the shower and yanked the door open to let his wife inside.

But she had disappeared.

Strange.

Locking the door once again, he got back in the shower and started to wash off the soap from his body. A hot shower in the morning was always good, he thought. Very relaxing and it relieved the stress. Especially with a grouchy wife who hasn?t had her coffee yet.

In the meanwhile Lucrezia hammered on Relena?s bedroom door.

??LENA??

Thank goodness the door opened. The sleepy VFM blinked at the sight of a mad-looking woman donning a yellow silk nightdress. ?What is it??

?TOILET!? she yelled and sprinted towards the girl?s adjoining bathroom. She slammed the door shut and locked it in haste.

Oh! That was the last time her husband would do something like that.

Milliardo started to sing loudly in the shower: ?Tiny bubbles?in my wine??

She was going to screw him over BAD. And she didn?t mean in a literal sense either.

?Makes me happy??

Lucrezia washed her hands and wiped them on the towel. She looked at herself in the mirror and laughed sadistically. He had it coming.

?Makes me feel ??

And she flushed the toilet.

Once.

Twice.

A total of five times for good measure.

And despite the vast size of the Peacecraft/Darlian mansion, Milliardo?s echoing yells resonated through every room of the house.

That would teach him.

?Happy Valentine?s Day, sweetheart.?
