Visibly Invisible 3: Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Chapter 4: Taking a little break

Teria's POV:

'Don't behave like a little girl!'

'I am a little girl!' I hissed back and Shane rolled his eyes-again. He could win medals for the amount of times he did that.

So, I was saved; by the most irritating person on the planet. Everyone got a partial happy ending didn't they? Dylexia managed to find us, or we managed to find her (maybe?) and it was quite a treat to see Edmund breathing down the neck of a Dawn Treader sailor who was eying Dylexia (half naked and shivering) with interest. You know "interest" (?). No? Then you're just dumb.

Well, Ed got his sword which he's currently scraping to look the least bit silver. Dylexia and Lucy were treating the men's bruises (namely Ed and Caspian respectively) and Reepicheep managed to mangle my harasser. Good riddance.

It was kinda embarrassing though to detach myself from Shane who was looking like I knocked the wind out of him. It was such a stupid thing I did, but trust me huns, if it was Godzilla who saved me, I would've done the same thing.

And that mist thingy! That was the worst part. Thank God I didn't see it or I would not have been able to sleep for months.

Currently, Shane is treating my bruises.

'Ow…you bastard you…,'

'This if the sixty seventh insult you have aimed at me miss,' he didn't even look at me, painfully rubbing that rug over my wrist where the guy had pinned me to the 'car' wall. I sniggered as I remembered Shane yelling.

'STOP THE DAMN CAR YOU HEAR ME! STOP ~pause for pulling effort~ IT!'

'I don't care why you're sniggering, but I don't really like you wriggling so much,'

I leaned down and bumped my head into his; painfully.

And then it was neither my fault not his.

No, scratch that, it was his fault ENTIRELY.

He kinda raised his head eyebrows furrowed to look at me and just like that, his lips bumped. Into mine.

I blinked and I could feel his frown got deeper as we both froze in time. Really I did. I was kissing…him. It was better than my diva days kisses…this one wasn't SO bad. It was…just…I felt my eyes closing and his lips just slightly moving against mine…it was kinda…sweet…wait…wait a second…

WAIT WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!

I screamed and we sprang apart. I'm not sure who pushed who, he pushed me or I pushed him but we ended up at decent corners of the room, out of breath.

This did not just happen to me.

And I started bawling.

Wait, why was I crying?

'I'm…I'm sorry,' I remotely heard him say but I just cried, unable to stop.

One of these days, Shane was gonna turn me into a friggin head case.

Dylexia's POV:

I frowned and looked at him again as he scraped the stupid tin piece over and over and over. I was like…completely invisible to him. I sighed and considered doing one of those "seductive movie scenes". You know, those 'Leave the paper and let's do something interesting love'.

I shook myself. Uh…why did I just imagine that?

'This sword's nice isn't it?'

I looked at him as he beamed at me, and sighed, nodding and feeling the cut on my legs stinging just slightly. He didn't even notice.

'Uh…Ed…,'

He looked at me and I wondered what I was supposed to say next. I wanted to say "DITCH THAT STUPID SWORD!" but I sighed again.

'What's wrong?' For once he put the sword aside and turned to look at me. I felt relieved as that irritating tin stick got out from my senses where it had been prodding me for the past hour.

'You know how I escaped that man without something really serious happening? It was because I…,' I suddenly cut off as irritation drew over my senses. There he was, with the sword again. I felt so depressed I shut up; and he didn't even notice.

Ever since I had came here, I felt so distanced from Ed. He was always tangled up in something military, playing the prince. Now, I was really feeling like we should break up. No really I was. Because the more I felt for him, the less I felt him feel for me.

I was being stupid and he was being exactly normal but that was the problem. I didn't want him to be normal any more. I wanted him to be special to me, like some really intimate moments that came once in a while.

Once in a while.

'Ed,'

'Hmm…,' he didn't sound interested. He was absorbed in the sword.

'Let's…,' my voice choked. 'Let's break…let's break up,'

'Hmm…o…wai…wait what?'

Ed suddenly looked at me in shock, sword ignored as I looked at the opposite wall, trying not to regret what I just said.

'What are you talking about?'

'Um…exactly…what…what you heard,'

'Don't be delusional silly girl,' he scoffed and went back to his sword.

Delusional…silly…girl…did he just scoff at me?

'That's exactly why I want to break up,' I flushed red, fighting tears. He looked at me casually before scrubbing the tin.

'You'll come running back to me,'

Why was he acting like a bastard? A few tears slipped my eyes but I didn't start bawling. Not yet.

'You'll come running back to me if…,' he put the sword aside and got up, edging towards me; it made me a little scared and curious as to what he was talking about.

'If…,' he grinned like an idiot leaning in front of me on one knee and I strongly felt for the first time that I was with him in the same room with a bed in it.

'If…,'

'If?' I gulped.

'If I let you go you silly girl,'

He leaned up and kissed me, full and square on the lips, completely seriously for the first time, pushing me back onto the bed and still kissing me with such passion, I was just…melting. Yup, he hadn't heard me properly. Because this didn't seem like he wanted to end anything.

Nope, as he pulled his shirt over his head and buried himself in my neck, no, he was just beginning things.

Take that you stinky sword.

'I think…,' it was remarkable he was still completely in perfect breath sync. 'That this day's been well overdue for the past five years,'

'Eight I think,' I breathed back as he pushed me gently into the pillows before leaning down to kiss me again. And this time I was sure.

There was no stopping it.

Okay then, they finally did it. You understand don't you? Of course you do. I'm shoo happy they finally got over the shyness. Oh wait, I'm controlling them. :D

Okay so, I expect reviews and I do think this story has gotten a whole lot better than when I started the trilogy quite a long time ago.
