| "You don't know?" "No. You're scaring me Kevin." "Good because you just about scared the daylights out of me." "What did I do?" "You started talking like your book and then you went limp." "Now you're really scaring me." "You really don't know what happened." "No. Fill me in,"she insisted once she regained her equillibrium. "You said you were Lady Symonne and you were calling me Colin telling me that I must save you." "But those are just characters in a book." "Well if you believe in anything you write like you say you do, I'd say you were just posessed by the late Lady Symmone." "And according to the story you were,"her eyes widened as realization struck her. "I think maybe it's time we pack things up and go." "No arguments here." The ride home was silent to say the least but it wasn't uncomfortable. Even after everything that had happened. Their souls had started bonding their hearts silently together. He escorted her to her door. "Are you sure you're gonna be okay tonight?" "You worry too much. I'll be fine,"she responded as her hand softly curved against his features. He instinctively drew her palm toward his lips and gently pressed his lips upon it. "Simone,"he breathed. "Don't,"she silenced him with a finger. She drew her finger away replacing it with the fullness of her lips. This time he knew there would be no running away. Something had changed her tonight. Whether it was the possibility such things could happen or that they could repeat themselves frightened him as well. If she was to be his destiny, then let it be. Her gesture became more generous as she languidly drew him within the tantalizing flavor of her wondrously soft lips. Her fingers slid into his short dark hair as his hands wandered familiarly over every inch. She grasped his shoulders as their bodies became reacquainted with one another. She soon felt another familiarity growing between them as she pressed away. This couldn't happen again, could it. "I'm sorry. I can't." "Can't or won't?" "Not tonight." " Well when you feel you are ready Simone, call me," he said; realizing that's about all he could manage in his state. She wasn't in love with another, she just didn't know it yet and still he had to stand by patiently and watch her heart be torn once again by fate's relentless grip. |
