Love in my Eyes

Prologue: The Prophets message

"Then the earthquake took them, and in the morning they lay prone in their dwellings;

and he turned away from them and said, 'O my people! I did preach to you the message of my Lord, and I gave you good advice; but ye love not sincere advisers.'

And Lot, when he said to his people, 'Do ye approach an abomination which no one in all the world ever anticipated you in?

verily, ye approach men with lust rather than women- nay, ye are a people who exceed.'

But his people's answer only was to say, 'Turn them out of your village, verily, they are a people who pretend to purity.'

But we saved him and his people, except his wife, who was of those who lingered;

and we rained down upon them a rain;- see then how was the end of the sinners!"(1)

Quatre sighed and closed the holy book. Standing he replace the worn copy back in its decorative box. Reluctantly he left the study and decided to wander the gardens.

Rows of fresh flowers came into view as he slipped though the glasses paneled french doors. The sweet smell of the floral sooth him and quatre wheeled his body to relax in an old wicker chair. Blue green eyes drank in the site of the garden in full bloom and he smiled. The muggy warm air hung over him in a blanket like manner. Enjoying the calm he began to rethink what he read earlier.

Eyes glazing over in the southern heat Quatre thought about his future.

/If I was back home they would kill me/ determined not to let his thoughts drift back to Arabia the young immigrate traced the petals of a near by flower with pale fingers.

Then the calm was broken.

"QUATRE RABERBA WINNER!" wincing he turned his head to find his caretaker fuming. Honey dripping southern accent she spoke with force and rich color, the old woman was like this grandmother sweet, caring, loving…and angry.

"Quatre I told you to help me in the kitchen after ya was done with ya lessons! Imagine what I felt when ya gone missing!" quatre flashed his mentor and wide smile and swiftly leaped to her side.

"Forgive me Aunty, I simply lost track of time." The southern servant just shook her head and smiled.

"O' child I know that there garden helps ya think!" slinging her arm across this shoulders the old woman guided him back inside and into the kitchen.

"Now help your old aunty with these vegetables."

"Yes madam."

"Trowa! Honey do come inside darling the heat is unbearable!" a female voice reached his ears. Lowing his axe he slid it under his arm and moved toward the houses. Removing his gloves as he went.

Taking the porch steps two at a time he placed his axe with the other tools in the corner. A sassy brunte scurryed over and handed him a cold glass of lemonade.

"Thanks sis, it is hot out there." He stated and took several gulps of the icy liquid, handing her back the empty glass he blesses her with a rare smile and ran hi hand though sweat slick hair.

"Trowa ewwwy go take a shower you smell absolutely unbearable!" rolling his eyes he nodded and headed inside the house.

"Cathy you have that look in your face that, what is going on?" Catherine just smiled.

"You'll see later silly! You know those foreign folk that moved here last summer? Well their having a party tonight and everyone is invited!" she giggled

/great here it comes/

"So put on your Sunday best! You never know when you can meet the boy of your dreams Trowa!" Cathy beamed and continued to water the potted plants lining the desk as if she said nothing out of the ordinary.

/ Why did I tell her I'm gay!/ sighing he opened the screen door

/ I have a feeling tonight maybe a little interesting/ trowa smirked
