Warnings: This is my tribute to the girl of GW. I LIKE them. If you don't and just want to see them tormented (well, I do torment them, but in a good way!) GO AWAY. Flame me for being nice to the girls and I will write a fic with them kicking your ASS! grrrr....
I kicked off my heels with far too much glee for a grown professional woman and dropped into my chair. I blinked when the door opened shyly. I wasn't expecting anyone. Jonathan peeked his head around the corner of my office and I motioned him in.
"Difficult meeting?" He walked in with an easy sort of grace that said he didn't think about himself much.
I laughed. "Why do you ask?"
"You kicked your shoes across the room hard enough to leave dents in the wall." He gave me that disarming Boy Scout smile that always made me smile in return. "The L4 delegate giving you problems?"
"When isn't Madeilina Albright not giving anyone problems?" I gave him a slightly frazzled look. "I thought Wufei was going to kill her."
"Well, that would solve the problem now wouldn't it?" He stretched his long frame out and gave me a rueful look. "To bad murder is illegal."
I gave him a look that bordered on disapproval and laughter. "Lets not go there."
He gave me a slow smile. "No problems here. Besides I came to talk about a far more... ah... personal matter."
I could feel my shoulders start to tense. I thought I knew the topic he wanted to deal with, and I wasn't sure I was willing. "I'm not sure how much say I have over your personal life, Jonathan."
The gaze he leveled on me was so serious it was painful. "Relena, I respect you, admire you, and am completely loyal to you. I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in Hilde, but if you disapprove I won't even think in that direction."
The absolute loyalty in his voice, and the weight of all that devotion terrified me to my core. I swung my legs over my desk so I could sit directly in front of him and stare into those shocked brown eyes. "Jonathan. I do not have that much control over your life. I'm your boss, and that's it. If you want to date Hilde, that's between you and her." A small, very selfish part of me want to tell him to stay far, far away from her, but that would be completely unethical and I knew it. I settled for a more subtle form of discouragement. "Although I'll warn you, she's got a mean right hook."
"You're making up the right hook part." He grinned me, relaxed and calm. "I should know, we were in basic together. It's her left jab you have to worry about."
I laughed out loud even though a small part of me was very afraid. Duo, Heero, you two had better hurry up, or your love may be with someone else.
