Talk To Me About Your Life
A/N: Thanks for all the good reviews for my last story, 'Before I run'!
I don't own anything at all, above all the three first sentences which are coming directly from the show.
SCOTT: Down by the docks. After last light?
SHELBY: Cool. The docks.
SCOTT: Don't forget. You promised.
Scott was sitting by himself at the docks waiting for Shelby to show up, but she didn't seem to come. He waited for about twenty minutes when he decided to leave, knowing she wouldn't arrive now. He hoped she hadn't been caught by Peter or another counselor, but he seriously doubted it. Walking back towards the dorms, he heard two female voices talking. Daisy and Shelby were apparently coming back from the laundry room. So she had forgotten…He approached them quietly from behind and wrapped an arm around their shoulders. "And may I ask what two beautiful chicks like you are doing outside this hour?" He joked, quickly removing his arm from Daisy's shoulder as he saw the look she threw at him.
"And may we ask what you're doing outside this late?" Daisy asked, shaking her head.
"Well, I was supposed to meet this fantastic girl but she stood me up." He said sadly pouting, looking into Shelby's eyes intensely.
"Sorry Scott, I completely forgot!" Scott knew she was lying. What was up with her?
"Well, that's okay; we can always go now…I mean if you want?" Shelby was trapped and they both knew it. She couldn't say 'no' and nodded slightly at him.
"I'm just going to put the linen in the dorm and I come back."
"Okay, I'm waiting here."
"Good." She muttered entering the dorm before Daisy.
"Goodnight Scotty! Have fun at the docks." Daisy said sarcastically following her.
Scott and Shelby walked hand in hand towards the docks in complete silence. Scott knew she didn't want to talk, but he couldn't help but wonder why. He had told her everything about his life, she knew him like no one did. They both sat up on the cold bench and sigh at the same time.
"I'm sorry for earlier Scott. I shouldn't have forgotten."
"Look, I know you haven't. What I'm wondering is why."
"I'm not avoiding you if that's what you think. It's just all this story with Ezra and his parents…"
"Shel, I'm not stupid. I know you're reluctant about talking about your past. I just want you to trust me. You know I would never hurt you, right?" Shelby smiled a little at him, moving closer. She put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
"I trust you Scott. I just need a little more time, is that okay?"
"Tell me sometimes, okay?"
"I promise that one day you'll know everything about me." Just everything. Shelby thought to herself looking back at the stars.
"Thank you Shel. I don't know where I would be if you hadn't been there for me those last weeks." Scott leaned on slowly reaching for her lips. They kissed gently at first then it began deeper. Finally they broke away the kiss and hug a long time. It wasn't before a few minutes Shelby pulled away, smiling up at her boyfriend.
"Scott?"
"Yeah beautiful?" Shelby blushed a little at her nickname.
"What do you need to know about me?"
"I don't know, something about your life before…for example, do you have like any siblings?" Shelby smiled, happy to be able to answer this question.
Well, this was the first chapter of my last story of my "Missed Rendezvous". Chap2 will be up soon.
