KEL AND DOM'S CHAT
Kel walked into the cozy conference room in Steadfast. The numerous wedding celebrations had just concluded. They had left her tired and weary. The thought of her comfy bed waiting in her chamber was almost too much, but she was here to chat with Dom about recent events and anything that happened to come to their minds.
"Hello Kel, you are a picture of excitement tonight," Dom told her as he entered the room silently. Kel jumped, startled that she had not heard him.
"I hate it when you do that," she told him. What am I doing? She thought to herself. I am acting motherly again. Dom just grinned at her with an impish smile on his face. Just then Kel could definitely tell that Dom and Neal where related.
"Neal's and Raoul's weddings were lovely, but I would prefer something a little more placate myself. But enough about the this weeks celebrations. How are you?" he asked her.
"I've been fine so far, but I will hate to return to the work that awaits me at New Hope. I thought that it was bad the first time! Will you be returning to New Hope with me to help retrain the refugees?" Kel couldn't help but feel a little anxiety. She had recently been thinking a lot about this talk of theirs.
Dom was a little puzzled at the sudden question, but shrugged it off as a little too much drink from the festivities. "Raoul asked me the same question. I agreed. You need someone to look after you, to keep you from getting into too much trouble." He grinned at her, but felt as if he had said just a little too much.
"Good, I need all the help I can get," Kel replied.
They continued in conversation like this for another hour. The time was growing late and neither of them could stifle their yawns much longer.
"Well, all this excitement and food and drink have about done me in for this evening. I think that it is about time that we retire and sleep off the after effects of the celebrations. What do you think?" Kel asked Dom.
"A very good idea indeed," Dom answered. Neither one of them could muster enough energy to pull themselves from their chairs near the fire.
Finally Dom managed to pull himself from his seat. He offered a hand to Kel to help her rise. She took his hand with a murmured thanks and proceeded to haul herself up from the chair. When she was standing upright, she found that Dom had not moved out of her way or released her hand. She looked up into his gorgeous hazel eyes framed by long black lashed with a confused look. When their eyes met, Dom leaned down and gently, almost timidly, kissed her. Kel let herself sink into his arms. They finally pulled away for air.
Neither one said anything, but Dom walked Kel back to her chamber. When they reached her door, he enveloped her in arms, and kissed her more soundly and passionately. He then turned and walked back to his quarters leaving Kel there to ponder the last few moments.
I hope you enjoyed my first chapter. I need at least 10 reviews before I will post another chapter!! Thanks!!
