Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ A Lover's Pain ❯ Chapter Two ( Chapter 2 )

Author's Note: I wrote this out of my own curiosity of where this story may lead to and a challange flick by Timber Wolf. I do not believe in rushing a relationship between two people, so be warned Noin's journey towards happiness would be a long and painfull one.

I'd like to thank Nekocin for beta reading my stories and her support for my stories. THANK YOU!!!

A Lover's Pain

Chapter Two

Noin walked away, desperate to be rid of her feelings. She clung to the hope that perhaps she'd get over her pain and move on but even she doubted that she'll ever get over him. Her midnight blue eyes darted left and right searching for someone. The only reason she was here was that she had to meet a contact, who would have thought that she would have stumbled on to Milliardo's engagement party?

Damn, Lady Une and her assurances of backing her up. She had assumed Lady Une would send some people not come herself! The bloody woman had been planning this.

It explained everything, why that god damn woman had chosen her for the mission, why she was the best candidate for the mission. It was because she had no one, not even Milliardo Peacecraft to stop her. Lady Une had taken the opportune moment when she was down and striked, giving her a suicide mission.

That bitch! And that woman knew that she would do it too, what did she have left? She had given everything to Milliardo and now what? She had nothing that was what.

Noin clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to relax, taking in a deep breaths as she continually searched for her contact. Why was she even bothering to look for the contact anyway? She was told that he would contact her, not the other way around!

Noin knew that she was angry and she was taking it out on people who didn't deserve it but how could she blame Milliardo? He had never lied to her when it came to his feelings, he had never clung to her the way she did to him. In fact, he had done everything except tell her outright that their relationship just was not possible.

Noin felt a lump form in her throat and struggled to suppress the tears that were burning behind her eyes. She took in a shaky breath and stared blankly at the lobby walls, knowing that she was attracting attention but not really caring. It felt as if someone had clenched her heart and refused to let go, tightening its grip over her heart, ever so slowly.

Noin shut down, unable to move her emotions tumbled and twisted into an unfixable mess. She felt as if she was out side her body watching in at the pathetic woman, whose ridiculous emotions over a man, careful destroy her being. The spark that was once there, disappeared slowly from her eyes as she stared lifelessly at the people around her, not really seeing them. There was nothing left for her anymore.

A hand appeared on her shoulder, and Noin jerked away surprised. She turned and blinked, not sure, how long she had been standing there, a second? A minute? An hour?.

Noin shooked herself and focused on the person standing before her and almost gasped in amazement.

The man standing before her had smooth chocolate skin and was beautiful. Oh, she knew Milliardo was beautiful too but this man actually looked like a man and not like a woman as Milliardo did. He had short black hair and deep golden brown eyes.

He smiled smoothly and reached out, flicking the hair that covered her left eye and examined her. Noin blinked, not sure as to how react to him. My god, she thought, this man had sex written all over him. He wore a black business suit with a white shirt that was buttoned half way up, revealing his smooth muscular chest.

Noin quickly recovered and stared curiously at him, wondering who he was and what right did he have in touching her? Noin knew almost immediately that she wasn't attracted to him, she guessed being in love with Milliardo has ruined her emotions to the point where she couldn't even look at other men without thinking of him.

She opened her mouth to ask who he was but stopped, stunned as he took a step forward until they were merely a breath apart. She took a step back but was grabbed, forcing her body to press against his.

Noin's eyes shone furiously and she pulled back her arm, ready to punch the stupid man but he stopped it, as he grabbed hold of her arm and twisted it behind her back. Noin was not to be derailed however and raised her knee but he seemed to to know exactly what she was going to do and used the movement to slip in between her legs. He pushed her back with his body until she was pressed up against the wall and his body holding her up.

Noin was absolutely livid and she didn't even have to look up, as his body was supporting her. She glared furiously at him and was even more furious when she saw laughter in his eyes.

He leaned forward until his lips were barely touching her ear.

"I'm your contact," he whispered.

Noin stiffened but forced herself to relax. "That doesn't give you the right to touch me," she hissed.

He chuckled. "Actually it does, If you don't want people to know who I am. As it is people will merely assume that I was your long lost lover whom you're very, very angry at."

Noin growled but played along not entirely happy with the situation, this was one of the officially worst days of her life.

"Why is it I have to meet you? Une never quite explained what this mission was about."

"It's because this mission is not exactly offcial. It can't be known but to a few people."

"Why?"

"If too many people know, then the mission would be compromised."

Noin suppressed the overwhelming urge to roll her eyes and instead glared at him as if to say, I am not stupid!

"No, I mean as to why this mission is not exactly offcial?" she hissed, she was in no mood to play around and all she wanted to do was go home and crawl into bed and forget today had ever happened.

"I can't tell you that, not here anyway."

Noin understood but the anger in her was still boiling, ready to burst at the slightest provocation.

"So let me go and we'll find somewhere private to talk."

"Not yet."

"What~" and he kissed her.

Noin's mouth opened slightly in shock and he used the movement to flick his tongue across her lower lip. She froze, unable to move as she struggled to make a decision in her hazy mind. One side of her said to stop him and the other said to go for it, there was no Milliardo there to stop her, in fact he was still probably kissing his fiancee`. That thought decided it for her and she returned his kiss. She stumbled for a second unsure as what to do, she had never actually kissed before. She had been saving herself for Milliardo.

The man before her seemed to understand and slipped his tongue into her mouth coaxing her tongue into play. Lights began to appear at the backs of her eyelids and Noin found herself enjoying the kiss.

Milliardo was angry. What had Noin been doing here? He knew Lady Une had something to do with it. He glared at the woman and was rewarded with a mocking smile.

He had always disliked the woman and her smile only made him more furious. He stood up suddenly and threw his napkin onto the table. He was going to find Noin and question her. He did not like knowing Noin had been part of that woman's scheme to sabotage his engagement party.

"Milliardo where are you going?" Dorothy asked tilting her head up. Not happy in the least that he was about to walk out.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a second." He said as he walked away.

Milliardo reached the lobby and searched for the familliar short blackish-blueish hair. His eyes widened in disbelief, not quiet sure what he was seeing. A sputter escaped his lips as he struggled to suppress his rage.

There standing in the corner was Noin kissing another man and what was worse was her legs were wrapped around his waist!

He couldn't believe it! She loved him! She told him so, what was she doing in another man's arms? It never occurred to Milliardo that his emotions were ridiculous or for that matter bordering on the ludicrous. Emotions churned in him as he realized he didn't like seeing Noin in another man's arms. He hadn't even known, she could kiss!

A sudden thought hit him and he smirked realizing what Noin was doing, she was trying to make him jealous!

Noin pulled away and struggled for air. Her mind, dazed, she had never believed in sex without love but at this moment she could understand why people did it. Wow, she thought, wow.

Noin stared blankly at the person standing before them and blinked, not quite sure if she was seeing right.

"Milliardo?" she asked in disbelief, confused as to why he was standing there.

The man in her arms pulled away and set her back on her feet. Noin straightened, confused, wasn't he suposed to be with his fiancee`?

~/~

Milliardo's smirk slowly disappeared as he realized Noin was genuinely confused as to what he was doing here. Didn't she know about his engagement? If she did not know, then that would mean . . . she was here to meet her lover?

Milliardo was stunned, he had always thought Noin as a prude. Now, he'd learned she had a lover, for god knows how long. His eyes flickered to the man. What he saw, was not what he was expecting. Noin found herself an experienced lover.

"I thought you loved me, Noin." He said softly an injured tone in his voice.

Noin frowned, more confused then ever. Love?! He hadn't thought about her feelings when he had gotten engaged to Dorothy. Why should it matter now? He had disregarded her love a long time ago.

"What does my love have to do with anything?" she asked, bewilderment clearly evident in her eyes and frowned. "And aren't you engaged?"

~/~

Milliardo frowned, it looked to him as if Noin really didn't care about him. She was right. What does her love have to do with anything? In addition, he was an engaged man for that matter.

Milliardo compressed his lips as he realized that he didn't like the thought that Noin and her devotion towards him were gone.

"Nothing, your love has absolutely nothing to do with anything," he said "And your right I am engaged. I'm engaged to Dorothy, we're having an autumn wedding." He watched carefully for a reaction and saw it.

A glimmer of pain apeared in her eyes before vanishing.

Milliardo smiled triumphantly and turned, heading back to his engagement party. He was right. Noin still very much loved him.

He stopped when he saw Trowa leaning in the doorway and realized he had probably seen the whole thing.

"Congratulations," Trowa said quietly, his single visible green eye remained blank as he looked down at Milliardo.

Milliardo froze and looked sharply at Trowa, did he hear a hint of sarcasm? However, when he looked up at Trowa all he saw was a blank expression. Milliardo hesitated but nodded his thanks before continuing towards his party.

Noin felt a single tear roll down her cheek as she stared at his retreating back and couldn't for the life of her, understand how she could love such a bastard. She saw it now, when she had seen the look in his eyes. He liked having a hold over her and her emotions. She suddenly feared that that the hold he had over her might never be broken.

Milliardo paused at the doorway and talked to someone, before moving on.

Noin knew who it was. The hair was unmistakable. Trowa Barton.

She watched as he raised his head, since he was taller then Milliardo and looked straight at her.

For a second everything stopped as their eyes connected. She found herself sinking into his green eyes, unable to move, unable to even think. She felt an unidentifiable emotion clench her gut before it vanished and he broke away.

Noin released her breath, not realizing she had been holding it. She blinked and realized he was gone.

What had just happened?
