What is she doing

Relena sighed quietly into her glass of champagne as a nimble hand moved teasing slow across her back. She glanced up into the hansom face of her date and couldn't help the happy smile that moved across her lips. Trowa was laverishing just the right amount off attention upon her. He had always remained body contact but not in an overly lewd and invasive way. It was perfectly reasonable for any on lookers to come to the conclusion that the two of them were perhaps more that just friends.

In truth Trowa had become an invaluable friend to Relena someone she could always relay on and trust. When the idea came to Relena to try and make Heero feel that his position with in her heart may not be as safe as he thought, Trowa had been the first and only name that came up who she felt would be suitable for the job. She trusted him completely.

It was a strange turn in events that had brought Trowa into Relenas life but that is another story all together. But ever since then Trowa and Relena had remained firm friends. Both were aware of the underlying attraction they had for each other and perhaps in another life they would have acted upon it, but long ago they had decided that fate had never attended for them to find love with in each others arms and had contented themselves with friendship.

Trowa glanced down at her and noticed the small smile that constantly seemed to be placed upon her lips. An internal battle raged with in his thoughts as he found himself questioning her actions. Trowa would always be there for Relena but he could not help feeling that she was going about this all the wrong way. She was playing on Heeros insecurities and inexperience to get what she wanted. He loved Relena but right now he found himself not liking her very much. Did she not understand that Heero like himself had never had the opportunity nor the privilege of ever been loved or to love. When you had lived a life such as Heero love had no place and only served, as a distraction that would most likely get him killed. Heero had gone about showing his affection for her in the only way he knew how. With possessiveness and sex. For Heero to open up and confess his feelings were a sign of weakness something he would never allow. Trowa suspected that Relena may never get what she wished from Heero and playing games would eventually drive him away.

A tug on his tuxedo sleeve brought him crashing down to earth as he lowed his emerald eyes to the owner of the hand. "Penny for you thoughts. You were miles away". Relena stared into Trowas one visible eye and was not sure she liked what she saw there. The eye that usually held tenderness and amusement when looking at her showed nothing but dislike. "Is something wrong" Relena frowned with worry. "I wish to leave" Trowas voice held no room for argument and left Relena blinking in surprise. Relena glanced at the diamond-incrusted watch and frowned. "Its only 10.30 the party will go of for hours yet." "Be as it may I wish to leave now. I believe that I was mistaken in accompanying you tonight." Trowa would not even look at her as he finished his sentence. Relena glanced around nervously at the other gests noticing that some had turned to look at them. "What is this all about. You were fine a moment ago why are you angry with me all a sudden". Relena sounded like a small child he had just kicked. Trowa turned away from her not been able to stand the wounded look she was giving him. "Please Relena can we just go". With out receiving an answerer Trowa began to move towards the door digging his mobile from his tux pocket to call for the car. By the time he got to the exit the car was parked waiting at the front of the grand building and Relena stood meekly at his side. He opened the sleek black door and stood to the side to allow Relena to get in. Once she was safely seated he walked around the back of the car and climbed into the other side.

The ride back to Relenas estate was a quite one. Trowa continued to ponder his thoughts. This time turning his attention to Relenas actions. The way she had handled the situation with Heero was childish and selfish. He could not understand how a usually kind and intelligent women had stooped to such a level to play silly mind games. Was she really that desperate for Heeros love? The simple answer was yes. Ever since the first day she met him she had chased him around like some demented stalker. Not much had really changed in the way of their relationship except sex had now been added into the equation. It would seem that Heero and Relena had more similarities than first thought. Heero was not the only one who had not had much of a childhood. At the tender age of 15 Relena had literally carried the weight of the world on her shoulders. How it had come to a teenager to solved the would of its problems was mind boiling in it self. The fact that neither of them had had the opportunity to experience adolescent relationships probably was a large factor into how their relationship had got so out of hand in the first place.

The car pulled up to the front door of Relena large mansion its tiers crunching gravel underneath them. When it stopped Trowa slipped out off his door and moved across the car to open Relenas. Gingerly taking her smooth pale hand he pulled her out of the door and into his embrace. Softly smoothing her hair behind her ear Trowa leaned down a whispered to her. "I am sorry Relena I didn't mean to upset you. I just believe that you are going about this all wrong. You are just going to end up hurting yourself and Heero with these stupid games. I think you need to take a step back and see if this is really what you want. You should talk to Heero and tell him how you feel". With that he placed a gentle kiss upon her cheek and walked of into the night. Relena stud and watched him leave running over the things he had said in her mind. Sighing in defeat. He was right. She would take a short break from everything. Perhaps she would go visit her bother and Noin. She need to get her head sorted and then have a heart to heart with Heero. Turning back towards the mansion she slipped inside when a sudden feeling of been watched creped across her spin. Shrugging it off as just been paranoid she closed the large heavy pink door and headed upstairs.

It the distance hidden in the bushes a pair of cobalt blue eyes watched the silent figure walking towards the mansion gates.
