Hey everyone!
I do realize that it's been a while but here is chapter 2. I will be updating regularly from now on.
Enjoy!
Six slowly pulled away from the hug and faced Sarah, her arms still wrapped around the girl's waist.
She gently brushed back a stay strand of hair behind Sarah's ear, and smiled slightly as a blush crept onto the photographer's cheeks.
Satisfied with the reaction she got, the Lorien sat down on the grassy hill, leaning her back against the old Oak.
"What on Earth are you doing here?" Sarah exclaimed, quickly recovering and plopping down next to Six.
For the life of her she couldn't figure out why she was so excited upon Six's arrival. Though they had shared a special moment the night before their departure, Sarah convinced herself that wasn't enough to cause such excitement. She decided it was because there was a possibility she might see John again.
"Oh you know, I was just in the neighborhood and decided to drop by." Six answered, offering the girl a slight smile.
As she scanned the girl she noticed that not much had changed about her appearance. Though her face had matured a bit in the past year, those breathtaking hazel eyes and shining blonde hair seemed unchanged.
She was still the same beautiful Sarah Hart. At least somethings didn't change.
"In the neighborhood?" Sarah asked, raising an eye brow and breaking Six's train of thought.
"If you count two states over 'the neighborhood' then yes." Six answered, averting her gaze from Sarah and starring out into the horizon.
"Oh my goodness. You didn't have to make such a trip for my benefit."
"I know, but I wanted to." Six said sheepishly, avoiding eye contact.
What Sarah didn't know was that Six had been thinking about her since the moment they left. Though it might not have seemed like much, the Lorien still couldn't forget the night they had spent on the roof top.
"I'm glad you did." Sarah said, once again blushing slightly.
She couldn't help herself, really. It was so sweet how Six went out of her way just to see her. John should be the one doing that. He was the one that was supposedly in love with her. She completely understood why he left, he had to save the world, but she was upset by the fact that he hadn't visited once.
"I'm surprised you're still here." Six said, breaking her train of thought.
"How come? I've always thought you had dreams bigger than this hick town." Six said, shrugging as she ran her hand through the grass.
"I did. I mean, I do. I just-"
"Just what?" Six asked, cutting her off.
"I don't have the money to get out of here, yet. I'd leave here and then what? I'd probably end up on the street somewhere, doing god knows what for money." Sarah shuddered at the thought.
"What if money wasn't a problem? Would you be willing to leave this all behind? Your family? Your friends?" The Lorien questioned.
"Absolutely." Sarah answered with confidence.
As much as she loved her family she wasn't going to give up her whole life because they didn't know how to let her go.
"Wonderful. You have a day to pack your bags and say goodbye. We're leaving the day after tomorrow." Six stated as she got up and started walking in the direction of her motorcycle.
It took a moment for Sarah to process what Six had said before she shot up and started sprinting after the girl.
"Wait! What did you say?" Sarah asked as she ran up to her.
"Do you have a hearing problem I should know about? I told you that you have a day before we leave. Unless you have a reason to stay here?"
"Where would we go?" Sarah questioned, biting her lip.
"That's the beauty of it, anywhere you want. Anywhere life takes us."
It was the truth and Sarah knew it. All her wildest dreams could come true, all she had to do was say 'yes.'
"That sounds exhilarating." Sarah breathed, causing another smile to spread across Six's face.
This girl really did bring out the best in her. She couldn't remember the last time she smiled so many times in a span of such short time.
"It is. I guess being an alien has it's perks. You're free, unless the Mogadorians catch you, of course."
"John! How is he? Is he alright? Why aren't you with him? Would we go to him?" Sarah exclaimed, finally remembering her boyfriend. She had been so enthralled in Six's proposal that she had completely forgot about him.
"He's doing great. We separated because while hunting for Seven, something led us to believe Nine was in Illinois. Last I heard from him, him and Sam were still in Spain. We would eventually regroup with them, yes." Six answered, her smile flattening slightly at the mention of Four.
Sarah seemed to ponder the proposal. She could travel the country, maybe even the world with Six and of course, John.
She could take pictures of all the most beautiful scenery.
She wouldn't even have to worry about money because she knew Six and John would have that covered. And if she ever felt the need to come back to paradise,doubtful, she could. All in all it was a good deal.
"Okay." She answered finally.
"Okay?" Six asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm in." Sarah exclaimed, jumping onto Six for the second time today.
She hastily pulled away when she felt the girl stiffen in her arms.
"Sorry about that." Sarah said smiling apologetically.
She knew Six wasn't one for physical contact but whenever she was around the girl, she felt the need to pull her in and hold her close. Six was lonely, even though she'd never admit it, and Sarah knew how it felt. She just wanted to show Six, she wasn't alone.
"Twice in one day, what am I going to do with you?" Six mused.
"You could always hug me back, you know? That'd be acceptable." Sarah teased.
"I could deal with that, but I would like a fair warning before hand."
"Deal. I'm going to hug you now."
"Okay, come here." Six said, chuckling as she pulled the fragile girl into her arms, and buried her face in her hair, inhaling her scent.
She could most definitely get use to this.
