Just a nice, quiet finish to my little story, before I take a break, and maybe start the Underwater Mines if I'm in a good mood (BTW: Reviews make me happy :P )..
"And I'm sorry that I nearly kissed you." Caleb stopped, as Will's large, cinnamon eyes gazed at him, and he wish he wasn't so close to her. Because nearly everything did have beauty, and Will really was more perfect than anything he'd seen before, so maybe she wasn't meant to be her for that exact reason: perfection was a dangerous thing, and it had no place running around with artificial murmur-boys. "I just thought you could tell them that you got one if I.."
The words ran dry like his throat, as she engulfed him in her scent and Caleb had never noticed how it burned to have her this close before.. Or maybe he had, he couldn't remember.. He didn't care; all he knew was that when Will flung her arms around his neck in a hug, he could only control himself enough to keep his chin resting on her cherry-red hair; caring very little about how she might take his tight grip of arms around her, because he didn't want to let go.
Of course she did though, and Caleb felt the tips of his ears coloring wildly as she smiled through a bitten lip, and ran her hand through her hair.
"I'm sorry I made you feel like you had to do that.. I know you're probably not allowed seen as.." Will was slowly growing redder and Caleb wondered what she might mean as she fidgeted in front of him.. "Even though Drake.. I guess he was probably braking the rules if you can't.."
Rules? Didn't she think Meridian boys were allowed to kiss? "I'm not banished against girls Will."
Will's red cheeks somehow managed to flush more, and Caleb grinned at her insane line of thinking, glad that she didn't hide in her hands as she had when Drake had left; instead only grinning with her embarrassment and feigning a laid-back attitude. "Oh, yeah.. I know.. I just...Sorry."
"You know, you're fairly magnificent Will." Caleb grinned down at the shamelessly blushing girl before him, only enjoying the awareness of being the one causing it as he leaned closer to her. "How could I ever dream of breaking up with you?"[0]
[0] A cute, double meaning for Caleb, though please note that Will'd only assume he was making fun of her earlier accusation to W.i.t.c.h. ;)
