Chapter 4: Anger and Confusion
By Angel Love
Rating: 13+

Quatre and Tanya were sitting at the kitchen table talking about the latest developments of the company on Earth. Tanya wasn't at all happy with one of his decisions. "I don't know why you had to bring Spellman down here," she complained as she lifted her coffee cup to take a sip of the hot liquid. "In fact, I thought you were going to fire him."

Quatre sighed. "I know that his morals are extremely questionable, especially since his wife left him taking their daughter with her. But he is good at what he does. I need someone to get these guys working in the factories. No offense, Tanya, but I can't have you keep doing both personal and deal with profit margins and other stuff of that nature."

Tanya gave him a patient look, hearing this argument from him before. "I don't mind helping you out by doing this Quatre."

He shook his head, his resolve showing in his blue eyes. "I do."

She leaned back finally giving up the argument and swirled her coffee around in her cup. Staring at the liquid she asked, "Have you told Angel about his arrival on Earth a week ago?"

Quatre's eyebrows drew together in a frown. "Why do I need to inform her about Spellman? She isn't working for me so it shouldn't affect her in any way."

The front door slammed open and both occupants looked over as they heard Angel come stomping into the kitchen. She threw her purse on the table, scattering some of the papers laying on it. "Some times I wish all men would move to the colonies and leave me the hell alone," she muttered as she started rummaging through the cabinets. “Stupid baka thinks he can put his hands all over me!”

"That would be why," Tanya said to Quatre before she added to Angel, "Cookie jar."

The steaming girl smiled a ‘thank you’ at her before she opened the lid on the cookie monster cookie jar and pulled out three oatmeal cookies, and stuffed a fourth one in her mouth.

Quatre watched her in concern; surprised by the vicious way she was acting. His eyes widened more at her appearance. Her normal well-kempt blonde hair was disheveled and tangled, her button-up shirt was untucked and wrinkled, covering her short shorts, and she had obviously ditched her sandals some place between the front door and the kitchen. "What happened, Angel?"

She paused in the act of shoving the last cookie in her mouth and gave Quatre one of the scariest glares he had ever seen, rivaling even Heero’s. Then she proceeded to storm out of the room, leaving the cookie on the counter, muttering, "Baka gundam pairotto. Shinkeinonibui hito." (Translation: Idiot/stupid gundam pilot. Insensitive man)

Quatre stared after her, surprised by both her cold attitude and the insults she was saying about him in Japanese. He turned wide blue eyes at Tanya. "What did I do that she's calling me insensitive?"

Tanya sighed and gave him a look that made him feel like a five-year old in trouble. "Quatre," she began slowly. "Did you forget just why you were going to fire Spellman?"

He gasped and turned red from embarrassment as he recalled the obsession that the man had developed over the blonde, in fact he once handcuffed himself to her in an effort to get her attention. It was that incident that caused the man's wife to leave him and Quatre to hurry his plans to have the girls move to Earth. "Oh Allah," he sighed. "He obviously took no time in tracking her down. She must hate me right now."

Tanya gave him a small reassuring smile. "I don't think she hates you, Quatre. She will be very angry with you for the next few days because you didn't warn her about her stalker being on Earth. But she will forgive you."

He sighed. "I hope you are right. I would hate to loose her friendship."

Tanya gave him a rather sad look. "Oh, Quatre, there are times that you are too blind to see what is in front of you."

She got up and walked out of the room to find out exactly what happened from her little sister, leaving a very confused former Sandrock pilot sitting there staring at the spot she had been sitting.
