Changing Sides Ch. 3
By Unknown Writer

Chun-li awoke at the sound of a shower being turned on. She opened her eyes and blinked to get the sleep out. *A shower…who*, she stopped when she realized that Vega was there. She got up slowly and walked to the telephone.

"Ring…ring…ring…H-hello…Interpole headquarters"

"Hi Liz…it's me, Chun"

"Chun…where are you…you were suppose to be here an hour ago"

"I know…I over slept…listen where's the chief", she asked walking over to her closet to find something to wear.

"He's in a meeting…you know…the one you are suppose to be at right now"

"Oh I forgot about that", she said smacking her forehead. "Well when he gets out tell him I'm taking leave for a few weeks", she said finally picking out a pair of tight blue jeans and a dark blue tank-top. "Weeks? You're taking leave for a few weeks? I've heard of days…but weeks? You've got a lot of explaining to do"

"Look…I have a…personal problem to take care of. Just tell him when he gets out okay? I'll call him later to verify. Bye", Chun-li hung up the phone before Liz could get in another word. She then laid out her clothes on her bed and left the room.

She didn't hear the shower so she figured Vega must have gotten out. She walked down the hall way to his door. She knocked three times. "Vega….", no answer. So she knocked harder. "Vega….'' Still no answer. She knocked ever harder and called his name louder, "VEGA…" "Come in", was the calm reply. She opened the door and took two steps inside. "I was beginning to think that you turned deaf on me", she stopped when she spotted Vega in front of the closet mirror brushing his hair with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

Her eyes grew wide and she immediately closed the door. On the outside her breathing turned to rapid short breaths. Her cheeks turned red. She then stopped herself. *Why am I blushing. I've seen Vega topless before* she said to herself. *Yeah…but in only a towel* another voice said. Chun-li blushed even more. She took in slow breaths to calm herself. "YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME FIRST", she yelled. She heard a soft chuckle. "It's not funny"; she said walking to get her clothes and to take a shower.

Chun-li got out of the bathroom and walked towards the kitchen. Vega was dressed now sitting at the table putting the finishing touches on his braid before putting the elastic band on it. She walked in the kitchen and pulled out various items and mixes from the refrigerator. Having a feeling that someone was watching her she turned around and found Vega staring at her.

"What", she asked. Vega opened his mouth to say something but then closed it. "Nothing", he replied a small smile tugging at his lips. Chun-li put her hands on her hips, "WHAT". "Oh…I just thought that we could go out for breakfast," he said standing up. "What…do you really think that is such a hot idea"; she asked arching an eyebrow. "We should be okay. Besides…I know this great place called La'Tara in the market place".

"La'Tara…that place is expensive. They charge like 7 dollars for a glass of water", she said. "But the food there is exquisite". She opened her mouth to protest some more but then stopped. "Fine…but I'm not paying she said grabbing her jacket. "Chun-li…I think you forget who your talking to", he said smirking. "Yeah yeah…not everyone can be a prince of a city in Spain and have wealth", she said sarcastically while he grabbed his jacket as well. Then they headed out the door.
