Chapter10- -Katie's POV:

I turned to see his reaction. I found myself staring at his closed door. I had only said it loud enough for him to hear OUTSIDE the door! Just my luck! I poured my heart out to a closed door! Whopde-frikin-do! I went back to my room, throwing myself down on the bed. I cried my eyes out, and probably the test of me as well. Faelwen wrapped her arms around me.

"It's ok Katie! Shh!" She stroked my hair reassuringly "Look. I know just what you need! A party! Tonight!" I laughed.

"Yeah. Haven't had one of them in AGES!"

The hall was set. The band was rehearsing in the corner and all that was left were the guests.

"Run along and get changed! Any old gown will do!"

"Faelwen! I don't own any dresses!"

"Oh dear!" We rushed back to Hal's room, which Faelwen had claimed as her own. "Get in there and have a bath! But get your hair wet and I will kill you!"

Bathes are AWSOME! I forgot how good bathes felt. Lying on the bed was a blue silk dress. It wasn't any shade in particular. In fact it changed colour as it moved. Faelwen was wearing a dark green dress with her hair out and flowing down her back. She put me in the dress and gave me a similar hairstyle.

We arrived at the party 'Fashionably late.' Everybody stared at us as we entered. Especially Hal at my sister. I sat down next to Legolas. He was sitting with Aragon and Gimli, who were about to start a drinking competition.

"Hey! What have I told you guys about having drinking competitions without me?" They all laughed.

"Sorry lass! We just thought we might have a decent chance of winning without you!" I couldn't tell if Gimli was insulting me or giving me a compliment! I grabbed a tankard.

"Let the games begin!"

~Many, MANY tankards later!~

"Ha! 51!" Oh poor Gimli! Aragon had been the smartest of all of us and dropped out on 30!

"We're tied on 40!" Merry and Pippin cried together. Frodo had left after 20 and Sam after 22!

"59!" Legolas could really hold his ale! Usually it was only Gimli who could drink anywhere near as much as me!

"62!" I laughed, collapsing against Legolas. "Drink Gimli! Drink! The elves are beating you!" Gimli snorted and gulped his tankard down in one go before falling off his seat. Legolas and I cracked up. Gimli was snoring. "Gosh! Maybe we should put him to bed!" Legolas and I shook our heads in unison and cracked up laughing again. So for the next hour Legolas and I rallied for first place. We each ended up on 79. "Ok! Let's call it a tie! I'm going to bed!" I got up. I tripped over my own feet and was only just saved by Legolas. "Thank you! I might need some help with that!" We walked out of the hall and towards our rooms. We made it to my room without collapsing. Well, that was something! I leaned up against the door. "I love you!"

I opened my eyes. This wasn't my room! Where the hell am I? I rolled over. This DEFIANTLY wasn't my room! What happened last night? Legolas walked out of the bathroom. Ah…I remember now!

~Flashback~

"I love you!" Legolas grabbed me, pushing me against the wall. His kisses were hungry. He kissed from my hairline to the base of neck. My teeth nipped lightly at his ears.

~End Flashback ~

I stared at Legolas.

"Um…did we?"

"I slept on the lounge!" I felt a stab of disappointment and relief all at the same time.

"Yeah!" Legolas sat next to me, kissing me with a fiery passion.

"I love you!"

Legolas and I walked into the hall hand in hand. Only Faelwen noticed our entrance.

"Where have you two been?" I had the feeling that was a rhetorical question. I was sure she knew EXACTLY where we had been!

"I slept late because I was up past me bedtime last night having a drinking competition with elf boy. I am VERY tired and VERY hung over! So just chill!" Faelwen gave me that little I-know-everything smile.

Faelwen's POV:

Haldir and I excused ourselves early from breakfast. Hal was on duty in an hour, so we went for a walk in the gardens.

"I told you Hal! Didn't I tell you a party would be good for them? Oh, they look so CUTE together! Did you see them holding hands?"

"Yes, I did! I agree, you are the MASTER match maker!" Hal knew how to suck up to me. "You know, I still have 50minutes before I have to go!" His kisses set my skin on fire.

"GET A ROOM!" Katie yelled across the gardens.

Katie's POV:

"Legolas? Can I ask you a favour?" I was worried about how he was going to take this. But, it WAS for his own safety. We were in the forest. It was very private now that the guards were running for their lives.

"Anything!"

"I don't want to tell anyone about us yet!" He looked hurt. "Only because I'm scared of what my brothers will do! Did you hear what they did to Aragon? I don't want you hiding under your bed for a week!" Legolas laughed.

'I am not scared of you brothers!"

"I am!" We both laughed.

"Katie? Will you marry me?"
