Quiet Celebration 8 [Wufei/Sally]?
I was thinking about how to start what I think [been wrong so many times before] may be the last chapter of Quiet Celebration and I suddenly got the idea to write a scene with Sally and Wufei. I haven't been a fan of them as a couple, but I found that I didn't mind them as occasional 'companions' but I'm starting to wonder if the scene isn't going to be entirely out of place. I wanted to show something of Wufei since I haven't shown much if anything about him yet in this story. And while the story is supposed to revolve around Heero and Relena I wanted to give something more.
I feel like the scene adds a depth to the story, like there's more going on than just what's happening to Relena...but I don't know if it works the way I think it does. So I'm going to share it with you let you take a sneak peek
Sally lounge in her bed, head resting on the smooth chest of a magnificently formed man, definitely one of the places she preferred to be. There was only the silence of her room and the strong beat of his heart in her ear. The moment was shattered when a cell phone sounded off across the room.
“It’s yours,” his deep voice rumbled in both her ear and through his chest.
“How can you tell?” Sally asked pushing herself up so she was resting more on his chest and could see his brooding features. “We have the same tone.”
Wufei nodded towards the end of the bed “I always turn mine off.”
“What if they need to get a hold of you?” Sally asked with a sigh, reluctantly getting to her feet. “Or are you hiding from work?” she tossed back over her left shoulder.
“There’s nowhere you can hide from this job,” he returned and she could feel his eyes trailing down her nude form.
Glancing over her shoulder at the bed Sally smiled at the appreciative expression on Wufei’s face. Tucking loose hair behind her ear she flipped open the cell to see the message.

“You don’t like your job…” Sally commented snapping the phone closed as she walked back over to the bed.
Wufei rolled his eyes, “Shouldn’t you be going?” he asked slipping on arm behind his head.
“It’ll keep,” she shrugged lounging across Wufei’s chest, “Do you have a ‘job’?”
“I’ll be leaving for the colonies,” he raised his head to look at the clock, “In five hours.”
“You don’t sound happy about that.”
He was silent for a while onyx eyes studying the plain ceiling, “You were the first to give me direction during the war…” he breathed finally.
“Are you in need of direction now?” it didn’t surprise her, the possibility; she’d noticed for a while that something had been bothering him. But Wufei was private; it wasn’t like him to open up about his feelings the rare time they met.
“Of a change maybe,” he muttered looking down at her.
She tilted her head in surprise, “Not enough variety?”
Wufei’s eyes narrowed, “I’m little more than a hired gun for them.”
“Where’s the peace?” Sally guessed resting her left hand over his heart.
“Something like that,” he shook his head, “Doesn’t matter.”
Sally got up the minute Wufei started to move, though his last remark left her a little surprised. “Why not take a turn on guard detail?” she suggested draping her arms across Wufei’s shoulders as he pulled on his boxers.
The former pilot shook his head, loose black hair concealing his face as he reached for his pants. “It’s not enough to protect one person.”
Sally sat back, “Then what will you do?”
Before he could answer, her phone rang again, this time a call. With a sigh of frustration Sally answered, “Hello?”
“Dr. Po, we have a representative from Organ Procurement here to see you,” a voice said immediately.
It took a moment for Sally to recognize the voice as Justin Newman, “Right, sorry I didn’t call.” She shifted to the edge of the bed, “I’ll be in, in ten minutes.” Twisting back towards Wufei, Sally’s shoulders dropped when she say he was already gone. Shutting the phone Sally slowly got dressed.
