Valentines Day II
Ok, it's been awhile since I updated anything, but I hope this makes up. Maybe a little?
As you know I don't own the Host etc
Sunny could remember the exact moment that her world became even better. It was just as important to her as the night Kyle came to her and carried her away, literally!
It had been a long night that had held little sleep for her. Her thoughts had been troubled to say the lest. It just wasn't supposed to have been like this!
She had spent 5 long years waiting. After she had acclimatized her self in her new host, well, she just knew. Her mate, her one true love, was out there. She rushed home to see him as soon as the insertion team allowed. He was gone.
She had spent the next several months waiting in the apartment they had shared. He had to come back, didn't he? After the Seekers caught him, he would come back. She had spoken to several seekers about it, did all she could to help. He was out there some where, probably all alone. If something bad happened, well she could never forgive her self. She just wanted him home safe.
After a time she couldn't bear the emptiness of their apartment any longer. Every thing just keeps bringing back memories. The sofa and chairs, Kyle's wok…everything.
So finally the day came, the day she packed a few of their things and put the boxes in the little white station wagon they had bought. Kyle had always been fond of Fords.
The next four years she spent pinning away at her mother's house. At lest she still had some of her family left. It took the edge off. She loved her Mama, but there still was a hole in her heart. It caused her a lot of pain, the kind that ran soul deep.
Then, just like in all her dreams, he came to her one night. He plucked her right out of her bed and carried her out the window! As he buckled into the seat she realized, it was real! He had come for her!
She didn't like to dwell on the pain she felt later, when he didn't see her, but another. How could she compete with the ghost of another woman? Especially when the other woman was her? It just wasn't fair!
He didn't out right reject her, but was so distant. The scar on her heart was painful, but far more tolerable then not being together. The hardest part was when he would pull her close in the middle of the night. That was when he would utter that other name. Jodi. That hurt so much. She should have never listened to that comforter. She should have continued to use that name.
But she can recall the moment that things changed for the better, when her world became truly whole again. How could she forget?
She had gotten up to go use the restroom. She knew she would never be full comfortable alone in the caves, but not even Maggie would actually hurt her, at lest not physically.
When she returned to their cozy little room there was a moments hesitation before she lay down on the comfy mattress Kyle had gotten them. She had to be careful, lest she disturb Kyle. He needed his rest, it was his strong arms that did much of the heavy work in the caves. Tending the fields, cutting out sleeping chambers, building and maintaining rock walls…he deserved uninterrupted rest.
As she lay down beside him he stirred, not awake nor fully asleep. As she settled down, he wrapped her in his powerful arms and gently pulled her close.
"Sunny" he murmured, cuddling her close. "Sunny."
Tears of joy filled her eyes as she snuggled in tight. Things were going to get better; the pain in her heart would fade away!
"Kyle" she breathed back.
