Disclaimer: Ok I have no claim on anything or anyone except Bella, and a
bit of Rex, so this is not intended to encroach on anyone's stuff, property
etc. It is a piece of Fan Fiction, and about the character from the book,
so they can't take it off.
Authors note: sorry it's not about Tally and Orli. But you will be able to read it here because it's got Legolas, who looks like Orli. (*drool*)
"Phew!" Bella sighed and sat heavily at the base of the huge tree behind her. Reaching a hand back she patted the tree affectionately. "Thank you. I needed your shade today Rex." The leaves above her head as she looked up seemed to shake in welcome. "If I didn't know you better I would say you've grown, well maybe you have, even more handsome if possible." Bella gave the tree trunk one last pat before pulling out her sketchpad and felt-tip pen.
"He did grow, but not as you would see it for another hundred years." Bella swung around to see a man standing to her right with his fingertips touching Rex. He was gorgeous, sort of ethereal Bella thought, blonde hair nice body, she blinked as the guy continued, "You could be right about becoming more…handsome you said?" Bella blinked again as his piercing blue eyes met hers. She nodded slowly.
"May I join you?" As he spoke he indicated the ground beside Bella, and she noticed a cute dimple in his right cheek. Once again she nodded. It wasn't that normal for her let someone share her space, especially someone she'd never met before and someone who could lurk beside a tree without being seen. "So. How long have you known…Rex?"
"Since I moved here, about a couple of months I suppose," Bella said with a shrug and a smile up at the tree's canopy, "He was irresistible, I was hot, he had shade…it was a match made in heaven really." Bella said with a smile and patted Rex's trunk again.
"He does that very well." Blondie, as Bella had now labeled him, nodded.
"Do you know Rex well?" Bella asked, may as well get some info, it wasn't everyday, make that basically never, that a super spunky guy, with terrific cheekbones, struck up a conversation with Bella about a tree.
"I would have to say not well, he has so many stories, but we are on friendly terms you could say." Blondie was looking up at the quietly rustling leaves.
"Right, that's how I feel, he gives out that vibe, friendly tree here sort of thing" realizing she was babbling Bella got to the point, "Do I know you from somewhere? I mean don't take that as a pick up line or anything, but you look familiar." Bella stuttered through her explanation a bit, but she had to ask, if only to get him to talk in that sexy accent again. He looked at her with a smile and then sighed heavily, and a bit melodramatically Bella thought.
"No one uses those golden oldies anymore which is such a shame, you had my hopes up for a second, are you sure you don't want to use it?" He said it in such a conversational way that it took a second for Bella to realize that he was flirting, with me!!! Bella felt a stupid smile spread across her face, as she couldn't do anything about it, she went with it.
"So I don't know you then? Well that means we'll have to introduce ourselves, as it seems our mutual friend here (patted Rex) hasn't. Hi, I'm Bella, a friend of Rex, almost a groupie really, and you are?" She held out her hand, he took it firmly, and Bella felt her pulse skip. 'Now that's unusual', she though to herself.
"Legolas." His eyes smiled into Bella's warmly, so she didn't pick up on what he'd said straight away.
"Legolas?"
"Yes, Legolas." His smile didn't slip, but Bella's did a bit, maybe he was one of the park's certified nutters, but as he was beautiful she gave him a chance to explain.
"Were your parents fans?"
"Of what?" He looked a little confused.
"Of The Book, "Lord of the Rings", they just made a movie…you were Legolas in that weren't you?"
" I am Legolas." He nodded.
"So you're Orlando Bloom right?" Bella was even more impressed; hey he was a movie star.
"At the moment." He said with a secretive smile.
"Ok what are you on?" Bella asked
"I'm not on anything. I am Legolas, if you take a minute to listen to "Rex" he'll tell you."
"Riiiiight." Bella was leaning toward nutter again. She jumped as he took her hand gently and placed it on Rex's trunk.
"Listen." Bella tried not to giggle and tried to 'listen'. All she heard were the cars going past on the road, birds and people. She opened her eyes and Blondie (being the safest) was watching her closely. Rolling his eyes, he smiled and put one hand on Bella's cheek. It was so natural that she didn't move away.
"Listen" he said again Bella noticed absently that his voice seemed to get deeper and more…regal. This time as she closed her eyes the normal everyday sounds of the park seemed to fade away with the light, all she felt was the touch of his hand and the texture of Rex's bark. Bella frowned as she heard something like, and at the same time completely different to, the wind, it was like a sigh through the leaves,
"Legolas…Sindarin…crossed the sea…friend…Legolas…friend…Bella…mellon" the leaves above her seemed to echo each word.
"Bella." She heard a different voice and realized that it was Legolas that spoke. She opened her eyes slowly staring into clear blue like the sky. Except the sky wasn't blue anymore it was black, as in night. Understandably Bella panicked a bit.
"Please tell me you're not a hypnotist, and that I didn't spend the last I don't know how many hours acting like a chicken, or…" She looked at Legolas in mild suspicion. His mouth opened a little and his expression was one of injured disbelief.
"Ask Rex." He said and took his hand away from Bella's cheek and put it into the pocket of his well-worn jeans instead. He turned and started to walk away.
"I think he likes you. In fact if he were a girl, he'd probably have a crush in you. Are you really an elf?" Bella asked running a bit to catch up to him after picking up her stuff. "I mean you don't have pointy ears."
"I do, you just can't see them in this place. Rex, have a crush on me? Not possible. I'm far too old for him. Grandpa he calls me. It's like so insulting." Legolas turned to Bella and she saw that he was grinning.
"Well you'd have to be…uh…old?" Bella said with a smile of her own.
"I'm not going to tell you."
"Damn!"
"But I would like to have something to drink, care to join me?" Legolas asked.
"Will I be joining Orlando or Legolas? And can you explain that to me…?" Bella laughed and didn't hesitate to put her arm in his when he held out his elbow. They walked towards the street out of the park. Rex seemed to be waving goodbye his leaves glowing softly in the moonlight.
"Well it all started when…well I got off the boat and a couple of thousand years later this guy asks me to tell him a story…and then while I'm at drama school, don't ask, there's this casting call, I actually wanted to be Faramir but…"
"Wait, I think I need that drink first!" Bella said breathlessly, and they walked down the street looking for a likely café. "Maybe two" she said and Legolas laughed.
