Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Escape ❯ Escape ( One-Shot )

~ I was tired of my baby

We'd been together too long

Like a worn-out recording

Of a favorite song ~

I closed my eyes, sighing softly in frustration with myself. I felt bad. Even though I love Heero with all my heart - I was getting bored with the way things have been going. Rather, not going. After 11 years of marriage, our relationship had lost the fire. True, it's steady and constant. Don't get me wrong. That part is very nice - always knowing that you'll have someone to come home to that will great you with open arms - a hug and a kiss to remind you that you are loved. But that's where it stops.

So, yes, I want a change in my life. No, I am not going to leave Heero. I would never forgive myself if I left the one person that loves me for who *I* am and not for who everyone else wants me to be. But I want a change - and for that, I feel bad. I feel bad because I can risk hurting the one person I care about most - no, not me, my blue-eyed husband, Heero Maxwell-Yuy.

~ So while he lay there sleeping

I read the paper in bed

And in the personal columns

There was this letter I read ~

I glanced over at his sleeping form, shifting my eyes from the daily newspaper that I had in my hands. Strands of his tousled dark brown hair fell onto his face. I couldn't help but smile after I reached over and pushed the errant locks out of the way, making the tiny frown change into a slight upturn of the corner of his pink lips. I sighed once again as I turned my eyes away from handsome sleeping husband.

I rubbed my weary violet eyes with the back of my hands before I picked up the newspaper once again. I flipped the page and turned to the personals section. Yes, I feel bad for looking but this is how badly I want some sort of excitement in my life rather than the same monotony that goes on day in and day out. I was about to turn the page when I suddenly sat up, a small ad at the bottom corner catching my attention.

It read:

~"If you like Pina Coladas

And getting caught in the rain

If you're not into yoga

If you have half a brain

If you'd like making love at midnight

In the dunes on the Cape

Then I'm the love that you've looked for

Write to me and escape." ~

'Wow...' my mind had stopped functioning for a moment before I quickly reread the ad. Creative, eye-catching, and right to the point. Some of the things I love in life. Oddly enough, those qualities are what got me hooked up with Heero in the first place but I am not going to dwell on that right now.

I know if Heero found out about this, I would be feeling very guilty. But whoever wrote that must be one hell of a person. I looked down once again at Heero, still sleeping in our bed. He had shifted when I sat up abruptly only to turn his bare back to me so I could catch a glimpse of the muscles across the back of his torso.

~ I didn't think about my baby

I know that sounds kind of mean

But me and my old honey

Have fallen into the same dull routine ~

Years ago, I would have been oogling my husband since he is a truly magnificent creature. But now, after our 11 year marriage had turned into an almost predictable routine, I wasn't affected by it. Heero may have my heart but at the moment my hormones wanted something else.

They desired what the person who placed the ad had to offer. I didn't think twice as I carefully reached over to my nightstand and opened the drawer, pulling out a yellow legal pad of paper and a black pen. I knew what I was going to do and I was going to start doing it now. Stealing a glance over to my husband, I found that he was still sound asleep, his soft breaths making his unruly bangs flicker across his face.

~ So I wrote to the paper

Took out a personal ad

And though I'm nobody's poet

I thought it wasn't half bad ~

I turned my eyes back to the pad of paper in my lap. Having folded the newspaper almost soundlessly, I placed it to the side of me so I could look down at it if I needed to. I brushed back the long chestnuts bangs that fell over my eyes, breathing out a nervous sigh since I really didn't know what to write. Until it finally struck me after a few moments of staring at the blank sheet of paper in front of me. 'I am going to do this.'

And with that final thought, I wrote:

~"Yes I like Pina Coladas

And getting caught in the rain

I'm not much into health food

I am into champagne

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon

And cut through all this red-tape

At a bar called O'Malley's

Where we'll plan our escape." ~

Early the next morning, I dropped off my clever ad at the local office of the newspaper. I chatted with the female clerk for a little bit as she looked through the files. I love my Heero and I prefer men, but I will be quick to admit when a woman is beautiful. And this one was. She had long dark brown hair and deep dark brown eyes that held more mystery than should be allowed by anyone. Let's just say that she made it easier for me to forget about how I should not be doing what I was.

She turned back towards me after having made a few phone calls on the far end of the office, an amused smile gracing her beautiful face. I listened intently as she told me that the person who put the ad in the newspaper had readily agreed to meeting this afternoon. She bid me fare well and with a mischievous smirk and a wink, she turned back to her work as I left the building.

I walked the few blocks to the house Heero and I owned. He had gone to work before I had left the house so I wasn't worried about him ruining my plans. I changed into tight black leather pants with black heeled boots under them. I scanned throughout our walk-in closet and pulled out a purple silk button-down shirt, nodding as I put it on and looked over myself in the mirror on the closet door. I looked hot - the color of my shirt making my eyes take on the full violet they really were that was sometimes dimmed with anything else I wore. I was ready and I left for O'Malley's.

~ So I waited with high hopes

And 'she' walked in the place

I knew 'her' smile in an instant

I knew the curve of 'her' face ~

I ordered a Pina Colada and a glass of champagne from the bar and then sat on the deck of O'Malley's that overlooked the sea. I didn't have to wait too long since it was going to be noon soon. As I took a sip of my champagne, I happened to look over at the doorway leading onto the deck. And there 'she' stood, dressed in a hunter green flowery summer dress with matching green sandals and just a touch of makeup to accent the already-there beauty.

The slight upturn of the rosy lips. The sleek curve of the flushed cheeks and chin. I must have looked like an idiot because at that moment, I nearly dropped my drink. I stood as my date walked over to me, my eyes trailing over the other's body before a grin appeared on my face. "Heero..."

~ It was my own lovely baby

And he said, "Oh, it's you."

Then we laughed for a moment

And I said, "I never knew... ~

The beautiful smile that appeared on his face made my heart start pounding in my chest. I never even thought that Heero would figure out that I was getting bored with our relationship. I would never have thought that he would so something like this just to please me. I lifted his hand to my lips and kissed the back of it.

We shared a laugh and then I pulled him to my side, holding up his Pina Colada and winking at him when he took it. I grabbed my own and we moved together to overlook the wooden railing of the deck, staring silently as the ocean's waves crashed along the shoreline.

I turned my eyes over to look at my beloved, taking in the way the blush was creeping over his cheeks. I knew now that I would never be bored once again with the way things were. Or the way things would go. I set my drink down and lifted my fingers to his face, smiling when he looked back up at me with his deep Prussian blue eyes as I spoke, "I never knew...

~ That you like Pina Coladas

Getting caught in the rain

And the feel of the ocean

And the taste champagne

If you'd like making love at midnight

In the dunes of the Cape

You're the baby I've looked for

Come with me and escape." ~

Heero just smiled brightly up at me, nodding as he took my hand in his and linked our fingers together. I dropped a tip on the table I had been sitting at as we passed by it on our way out of the bar. I couldn't help but pull my husband closer by wrapping an arm around his waist and sighing softly when he turned into my embrace.

We led each other down the street and onto the beach, away from people. We walked in silence further and further away until we neared the rocks. I climbed up on one of them and held out a hand for Heero, easing him up before I sat down, pulling him down in front of me with his back against my chest.

~ If you like Pina Coladas

And getting caught in the rain

If you're not into yoga

If you have half a brain ~

We stayed there for several hours, watching the waves crash against the many rocks below us. During that time, Heero and I talked. I learned that he was beginning to feel the same way I was but he had figured that he should make the first move by writing to the newspaper. Leave it to Heero to know that something like his ad would catch my attention.

I decided then and there that I would not keep anything from Heero about our relationship. If he was willing to look like a fool, which he told me was how he felt but I told him otherwise, to make me happy, we could overcome any other problem that could still arise. Eleven years is a long time and neither of us plan on living without the other - so yeah, I think more problems could arise.

~ If you like making love at midnight

In the dunes of the Cape

You're the love that I've looked for,

Come with me and escape. ~

Speaking of arising - I think I am going to take care of some things. I shifted against Heero and stood up, smiling lovingly when he gave me a confused look. "Trust me..." I whispered to him and he did. He allowed me to lead him off the rocks to the little bit of sand that wasn't completely drenched, away from anyone catching us.

I pulled him close, dropping my head down enough for my lips to meet his in a soul-seering, soul-searching kiss. Not wasting time after we pulled away from air, I trailed my hands up and down his sides before I looked deep into his eyes and pulled the dress up and off of him, grinning darkly at the surprised look on his face before attacking his body with a series of tender yet heated kisses that lead to so much more.

I thought that I would feel bad for having answered an ad in the newspaper. A brief thought crossed my mind that I was betraying Heero. But now I'm glad that I did. I don't feel bad. I didn't betray my husband. Instead, I helped us work out the monotony in our married life together and believe me - Duo Maxwell-Yuy is definitely, 100%, happy.

*biting lip* was it okay?
