Chapter 3



The plane?s turbulence awoke Relena from her nap. ?Heero,? Relena yawned, ?what time is it??

?2:30. You?ve been out for a while,? he placed her head back on his shoulder, ?but we still have another three hours to go. Go back to sleep.?

?Okay.? Neither of them saw the two pairs of eyes watching their every move.

Maravu was the name of the hotel they were staying in. Maravu is a Fijian word meaning ?calm and tranquil' ... like on a sunny day when the sea is quiet and looks like blue glass. Two of only ten villas were going to be their very private hideaway, one for each couple. Built in Fijian bure style, these villas were situated to face the tropical sunset. The lobby was exquisite. With it?s enormous aquarium, sea green furniture, and mini waterfall it looked like an underwater paradise.

When they entered the hotel two of six Fijian girls came to them with a drink held in each of their hands. ?Ni Sa Bula*? one of the girls greeted, ?The Maravu Magic will capture you while you sip our traditional welcome drink.?

?It?s fresh iced coconut juice in its own shell, and is decorated with hibiscus flowers.? The second girl explained while passing out the drinks.

If they thought the lobby was beautiful the villa was clearly stunning. It had a queen-size bed covered by a white mosquito net canopy. There was an outdoor shower in a secluded setting next to the private sun deck. Each bure was well appointed, and beautifully decorated with Fijian artwork and paintings. And, wherever you looked, flowers were spread out in their full bloom, liberally adorning the tropical home.

Relena gazed at the room in amazement. ?Oh Heero. It?s, it?s perfect. I remember staying in a villa like this in Cyprus. Oh wouldn?t it be lovely if we could-? Seeing Heero?s face Relena stopped. He was sitting on their bed with his eyes cast downward and his head lowered.

After realizing what she just said, Relena joined him on the bed. ?Heero I-?

Heero stopped her, ?You don?t need to apologize. Your father took you around the world. Probably even farther.? He gathered her up in his arms. ?Relena if I could I would give you everything in the world. I love you.?

?I know you do and I love you too. I just have to get used to this that?s all. And if it means anything I am happier now with you than I have ever been with Daddy.? She graced him with one of her dazzling smiles.

An evil smirk spread across Heero?s face, ?Heero wha- no. No. Heero we can?t not no-?.

* * * * *

?David, how about you call Heero and Relena?s room and tell them to meet us in the lobby.?

?Alright, honey,? David replied picking up the receiver.

Ring.

Ring.

?H-Hello? a female voice greeted a little out of breath.

?Hello, Relena it?s David. I hope I?m not interrupting anything.? His voice held a touch of amusement.

Still out of breath Relena replied, ?N-No you weren?t interrupting anything. Was he Heero??

David chuckled, ?Well, now that we?ve settled in how about you and Heero meet us in the lobby. Remember to be in your suits, and we?ll check out the beach.?

?Oh, that?ll be fun. We?ll be right down.?

* * * * *

After a day of horseback riding, snorkeling, mountain biking, tennis, golf, kayaking, deep-sea fishing, and guided 4WD tours, the two couples were visibly tired. Well, all accept one.

?Heero, I can?t believe that you are still not tired,? Relena sighed.

?Oh, I?m beat,? David sighed ?Anyone want a drink, the Sonhara?s Hut is just around the bay.?

?Lemonade.?

?Water.?

?Hn.?

?Make that two waters please.?

David laughed, ?One lemonade and two waters coming up.? He started running towards the hut.

?Oh, he forgot his wallet,? Charlene exclaimed about five minutes later, ?I better go give it to him, be back in a sec?

* About fifteen minutes later*

?I wonder what?s taking them so long?

* * * * *

A young Caucasian blonde woman checked her watch for the third time that afternoon. ?He?s late.? Suddenly something caught her eye. ?David honey there you are??

?I?m sorry honey but I was slightly delayed.? David kissed her, his hands circling her waist. ?How can I make it up to you??

?I know one way.? He smirked, his arms tightening around her waist.

?Later sweet heart. Tonight I promise.?

?Alright,? she giggled, ?but this time don?t be late.?

* * * * *

The figure watched the young couple in silence; it?s eyes never drifting. It saw the young blonde women leave, pure hatred in its eyes.

?Hi,? a female voice interrupted its thoughts, ?we were wondering what was taking you so long, so here I am. Heero is bringing the car around. What?s up Charlene? You look like you are going to be sick.?

Charlene sighed heavily. ?Relena I-?

?Ladies,? a dark masculine voice interrupted, ?how long have you been here?? Relena sensed a tint of fear in his voice. He glanced at his wife who in turn wouldn?t look at him.

?Well-? Relena started.

?Well, I came over just a little while ago to give you your wallet remember. I was just waiting till you were finished.? Charlene said a little too sternly.

?Um?right,? David said nervously.

Oblivious to the silent war that was waging between the spouses Relena asked, ?So where are they??

?Where are what?? asked David looking bewildered.

?Obviously, the drinks,? Charlene said quickly, ?and yes, David Darling, where are the drinks??

?Well, um, I just it?s almost dinner. Weren?t we going for that picnic??

* * * * *

In the welcoming warm weather, meals were taken on to the terrace outside the resorts large central pavilion overlooking Lake Tagimaucia. There was a circular table with a stunning silver tablecloth, surround by duplicated wood chairs with decorative designs skillfully carved on the backs. Resting on the silver material was a turquoise vase decorated with mini seashells and decorative borders. The vase held a bouquet of beautiful red flowers.

The evening was meant to be formal so both couples were dressed in eveningwear. David and Heero were both wearing black pants and a dress shirt. Relena was wearing a baby blue evening gown, which was both romantic and feminine. The beautifully pleated neckline was complimented by glittering rhinestone straps on the gorgeous peau de soie satin gown. It was formfitting enough to make all her curves noticeable, but modest enough to make her look sweet and angelic. All of her hair was piled on top of her hair in a French bun with the exception of a few strands of spiral curls, which framed her face. Charlene?s taste was slightly more sensual. Her seductive, midnight black, dress was off the shoulder and stopped mid thigh, together a very dangerous combination. The dress molded to her every curve, while a triangle opening in both the front and back provided striking detail. The front opening was much lower cut than the back, revealing most of her upper body. A spectacular crystal brooch with draping strands, placed directly on the tip of the triangle, showered the dress with light. Her hair was also in a bun enhancing her bare shoulders. His wife?s choice of eveningwear didn?t seem to disturb David, Relena thought it best not to say anything.

A waiter, dressed in the classic black pants, white full sleeve shirt, and red vest, handed the four adults menus. The menu was mostly fish, most likely because fish is one of the most profitable exports in Fiji. The group ordered whatever sounded appetizing and ten minutes later their food had arrived steaming hot. Deciding to share, they ordered many dishes between them, most being fish.

Their main meal consisted of Fijian seafood chowder, Crab and Pumpkin Bisque, Shrimp Cocktail, and Eastern Shore Crab Cakes. Obviously all the food was not finished being as the two couples were not very big eaters. After dinner the couples sat and watched the waves crash against the shore.

David picked out one of the red flowers from the bouquet and handed it to Charlene. Charlene smiled slightly. ?You know what I learned this afternoon?? David started, ?When I went to explore this resort earlier on I stumbled onto a storyteller and she told me a legend about this very lake. Would you like to hear it?? Without waiting for an answer David took a sip of his beer and continued, ?Once upon a time, a princess was about to be forced by her father to marry her predestined husband. However, she was in love with another man and, in desperation, she fled from the village into the mountains and, completely exhausted, she fell asleep on the banks of the lake. While she was sleeping, she cried and in her dream tears trickled down over her cheeks and turned into beautiful red flowers,? David paused and picked up another red flower, and brushed the petals against Charlene?s cheek. ?And the red flowers engendered the Tagimaucia plant. Tagimaucia means, ?to cry in your sleep?.?

David smiled, Charlene suddenly stood up, ?Excuse me, I need to go to the little girls room. Relena will you please accompany me?? Relena nodded and both women left. The two men sat in silence until David decided to break the ice. ?I believe my dear wife is upset with me,? he stated matter of factly taking another sip of his beer, ? Although, you can?t really tell what her emotions are most of the time. Under that dazzling smile of hers she has a dark mask, which covers up all the feelings inside of her, much like you Heero.? Heero didn?t say a word, it was obvious to him his friend was drunk. David carried on, ?I like your wife, Heero. She is much more innocent than mine. Behind that beautiful face lies no evil.? Heero?s eyes darkened at the mention of his wife. David?s speech was slurring but still he pressed, ?Hey I?ve got an idea. Let?s play a game. Since your wife is more like me and mine more like you let?s, you know,? David made a motion with his hands, ?switch wives.?

Before he knew what was happening, Heero had turned over the table and held David by the collar. The beer bottle smashed against the cement floor ?Don?t you ever think about my wife,? he spat venomously.

David smirked, ?Okay, okay man it was just an offer. Ok from now on I won?t even think about doing anything of the sort with that magnificent woman.? Heero?s grip tightened, but David still smirked. There was a sharp intake of breath from behind him.

?Heero put him down!? Charlene?s voice flooded the room. Heero put David down and Relena entered the room.

?What happened?? Relena asked bewildered. Without another word Heero grabbed Relena by the wrist and dragged her out of the room.

?Things aren?t exactly going as planned.?

?I?m afraid you are correct my dear; things are going better than planned. Now that act one is complete act two will commence ahead of time.?

?I think he suspects.?

?Even if he does. The show must go on. No matter what it takes.?

*Ni Sa Bula is the Fijian greeting
