A Second Chance
Chapter 3
By: Fate Lowe
Relena walked into Duo?s small one bedroom apartment followed by the braided ex-pilot. The walls were painted a light cream color with black trim. The floor was a light bamboo hardwood with a cream colored area rug with a black border. There was a black, glass top coffee table set in front of a plush black leather sofa with matching glass top end tables at either end with black table lamps with cream shades. A state of the art entertainment system was on the wall across from the couch. The windows were covered in long black curtains.
?Well, let?s give you the grand tour and get you settled in.?
She followed Duo into the kitchen which had the same floors and color scheme as the living room. All the appliances were made of matching stainless steel and a small, black, glass top dining table and matching chairs sat of to the side. They left the kitchen and went down the hallway. He showed her the bathroom which was done in the same color scheme as the rest of the house but had a light cream tile floor instead of hardwood. Last he showed her the bedroom. It was the only room that was different. It had dark red carpet and paint on the walls with the same black trim. It had the same black curtains. A king-sized, black, four post bed covered in a dark red down-comforter and black silk sheets stood in front of a big window. Piled on it were four pillows, two black and two dark red. On either side of the bed was a black nightstand with black lamps with dark red shades. Across from the bed was a black dresser. On the other side of the room was a black computer desk with matching chair.
?Wow, Duo, this place looks great.?
?Thanks. Did it all myself.?
?Really? Heero hates doin? stuff like that.?
?No more talk of him. We need to get you ready for a new life.?
?Ok, whatever you say. But, how are we goin? to get this to work??
?Well, first I need to call a few people. Come on we?ll talk about it over lunch. We kinda skipped out on it when we left.?
?Sounds good, I?m starved.?
They walked into the kitchen and Duo went straight for the fridge.
?What do you want??
?I don?t know what do got?? Relena replied from the sink where she was filling the tea kettle.
?How ?bout hot sandwiches and soup??
?Sounds good.?
Relena placed the kettle on the stove while Duo started pulling stuff out of the fridge. He emptied a can of tomato soup into a pot and set it on the stove. He then started assembling the sandwiches. The tea kettle went off and Relena took it of the heat. She grabbed two mugs from the cupboard along with two tea bags.
?Two sugars right??
?Yep.?
When lunch was ready, they sat down at the small table to eat. When they were done, Relena leaned back in her chair and looked across at Duo.
?So, how are we gonna do this??
Duo just smiled before he took a sip of his tea.
AN: Well there it is. Please review. I love to hear what everyone thinks of my stories. 'Til next time.
