Me: Ok, I hope you enjoyed the last chappy!
Lulu: Gello!
Me: Would you stop doing that!
Lulu: BRITISH!
Me: *Sighs*
"You look beautiful tonight," Solomon said as he kissed his wife's cheek.
She smiled. "Thank you."
After a moment of silence in their walk, he spoke. "How was your therapy?"
"It was fine, the same thing as all the other times."
"Did she make you say something you didn't want to?"
Yes…
"No."
"Are you sure?"
No…
"Yes…but I'm going to get a different therapist."
"Why? You've been seeing Carol for over six years."
"I know but…I think I need a change."
"Alright, if that is what you wish."
She nodded.
"Oh, D-chan is getting married in a couple of weeks, I told them we'd be there…is that ok?"
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it."
She smiled once again.
"S-chan has found a nice guy and she's going to move in with him soon."
"May I ask a question?"
"Yeah."
"Why do you call them S-chan and D-chan?"
She laughed. "D-chan is basically for mini Diva, but Kai shortened it and just called her D-chan, same thing with S-chan. S-chan's real name is Koukigyoku and D-chan's name is Safaia. I can't believe I haven't told you that before…"
"I never asked…Why doesn't he call them by their real names?"
"I'm not sure, he never told me, one day he just started calling them that."
"They have beautiful names."
"Thank you, I worked hard at thinking of names for them."
He chuckled as he held her tighter.
"Like I said, they are very pretty."
She looked up at the night sky and then back at her husband. "Where are you taking me? She inquired eagerly.
"We're almost there, just a few more minutes."
"You know I don't like surprises." She laughed.
"Yes, but you'll like this one."
"Alright…"
The few minutes passed and they entered a big building. Music roamed the halls of the building and shook the lights that hung on the walls. She looked over at him in inquisitiveness as they walked past the many people in both elegant and sexy dresses. Solomon opened a large door that led to a gorgeous ballroom.
Saya's eyes widened as she stared in awe.
"Do you like this surprise?"
She nodded and she looked over at him. She suddenly saw Haji standing in the place of Solomon. She blinked before she saw her husband once more.
As they walked in the ballroom, she kept getting flashes of happy memories forgotten and left behind for the zoo to die with.
Memory…
The people she saw were dressed in nice suits and long, elegant dresses. She looked over her shoulder and saw Joel I.
"Saya?"
She gazed up at her partner and saw her beloved chevalier.
"May I have this dance?" He bowed as he held out his hand.
She took his hand and he led her out to the dance floor. He held one of her hands firmly and she placed the other on his shoulder, he placed his other one on the small of her back. They began to dance the Waltz. After a moment, she stepped on his feet.
"I'm not a not a very good dancer…" She blushed.
"You are a divine dancer Saya." Haji smiled his radiant smile.
She closed her eyes; she listened and swayed to the sweet music as he guided her over the dance floor.
Memory over…
"Sweetie?"
She looked up and saw Solomon, she blinked.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright."
"Yeah, I just feel a little funny is all."
"Do you want to go home?"
She shook her head. "Of course not, I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
She rolled her eyes. "Yes, I'm sure."
Later…
After they danced, they walked to a park and sat down on a bench.
"I never thought I'd dance in a ballroom again." She laughed.
"Did you enjoy yourself?"
"Yes…Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"I have to surprise you next week, to make it fair."
He chuckled.
"I think-"Suddenly Saya looked back into a place where the light didn't reach. He also averted his eyes to the darkness, watching, waiting for something to come out.
"What did you hear?" Solomon whispered.
"Leaves and twigs breaking."
He averted his eyes towards the darkness as his wife did, she looked back at him, waiting for him to speak but he acted as though nothing had been said. Dumfounded, she looked back into the darkness, wondering, listening, watching, and waiting. They kept waiting for yet another sound...but none came.
Saya abruptly stood from her place. "Can we leave now, I'm getting tired."
"Of course." He rose beside her and laced their fingers together as they began to walk.
As they went, more noises came from the dark alley. She suddenly began to walk faster, pulling Solomon along with her.
"Saya darling, slow down. Are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine...just a little scared."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's probably just a-"
A cat came out of the alley as if it was running away from something that lurked in the darkness of the night. She swallowed as her eyes darted around quickly.
The walk or rather the run home was spent in silence. As soon as he opened the door to their apartment, she dashed inside and went into the living room.
"Saya, are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine."
She plopped down on the sofa right as Solomon walked in. He smiled his charming smile that always seemed to be painted on magnificent features. She gave him a weak one as he walked into the kitchen. She heard the clanking of two glasses, the fridge door opening and closing, and the pouring of liquid.
Seconds later, he came back in and handed her a glass of red wine.
He opened his mouth to speak but she spoke instead. "Yes, I'm fine."
He laughed as he joined her on the couch. "Have I become that predictable?"
"Well yeah, you've been asking that same question a lot lately."
"I'm sorry…I'm just worried is all."
"About what? Nothing's changed."
"Nothing…it's nothing."
"No, tell me."
"You've just-"Suddenly his phone rang, he answered it. "Hello? Yes…Yes, I know she's not going to make it…but I…alright, alright, I'll be there in thirty minutes." He closed his phone. "The hospital needs me to come check a few things; will you be ok here by yourself?"
"Don't treat me like a little kid, I'm your wife not your child…I've stayed her by myself before."
He kissed her forehead as he went to get changed. After a while, he came back in his doctor's uniform and left after giving his wife a few more kisses.
Me: I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
