Chappie 1: Not Tellin'
"My lady" that of course is Tobe, "Dom says to meet him at the flag pole at 10."
"He must be up to something." Kel mused.
"He's related to our dear Meat Head; of course he's up to something." Merric with his usual one line remarks.
"What are you saying about my family?" Neal said absently minded.
"Oh nothing," Kel and Merric's eyes caught in a glance. They laughed.
"Well, its 9:30, I'm gonna walk around some, and then go see Dom." Kel said getting up to leave.
"Tobe my dear boy, come here and finish the lady's chess game for her." Merric said patting the seat opposite him. Kel left the room, not noticing the sigh escaping Merric. "Tobe my boy, you're what? 16 now? You've been with Kel for 7 years? Do you know why she's still single?"
"Not tellin' sirs, it's her place to say. And technically I've been with her for 3 years and the other 4 I've been a civilian expert, on horses here. Learned what I did from that, Master Numiar, and Steffan, and Daine. Tell you what Merric, if I beat you this game, well I don't want anything, but if you win I'll enquire for you."
"Ok, but don't you want anything that you could give to Loeisa?" Tobe blushed at the sound of her name. "See, I knew you would. Tell you what I'll give you some pointers if you win, on how to get more ahead in the game of women."
"Merric, women aren't a game, I'd never like to hear a suitor of Molly's talk like that. And since when do you know anything about women? You're still single." Neal said actually looking up from his book.
"Oh shut up." And Merric threw a chess piece at him.
"Dom? You asked to see me?" Kel whispered from the dark.
"Yes, Kel about last night, I'm sorry I didn't mean to, it's just that you looked so beautiful."
"I kissed you back, there's nothing to be sorry for," she put her hand on his arm and smiled.
"So I didn't just dream that."
"Dreamt this?" Kel leaned in and kissed him softly on the mouth. His hands slowly rose to caress her back. They just stood there for minutes, but to both of them it felt like a forever in peace. Kel could feel the soft snowflakes on her cheeks. "Dom?" she muffled not taking her lips from his. "Ah, do you wanna?" she gestured inside.
"Any where as long as it with you."
"Um Kel?" that was Tobe, "I was wondering, you're getting old (26) and there are a lot of young studs (Merric made him use that word) that seem to be interested, and I was contracted by one of such studs to enquire as to why."
"Ok, Tobe what ever horse kicked your scull in, it better not have been Firestorm (Kel's warhorse). And for your big fat informant mouth, I'm not single anymore."
"Then may I ask who?"
"No you may not, but I'm going to tell you anyway. Dom."
"Thank you."
"How much are you getting paid?"
"Not, lost a wager."
"Ok, then you'd best get back to the stables youngling, and tell Merric that he could have just asked me him self." When Kel heard Tobe curse, she laughed.
A/N:ok it's a bit later, because I wanna get Tobe a love interest some time. And do you like? Cause I love Kel Merric stories, red heads are just a good, ah word is? Opposite for Kel's calm that's it. :D peace
