[Chapter Twenty Five]
Sasuke yawned and dragged his hand over his face. He sighed warily and signed the paper in front of him once again. Every time he signed a paper another one magically appeared in front of him. This was starting to get to him.
"Is that it?" Sasuke asked annoyed.
Currently it was noon and the band along with Kakashi was sitting around a round table in the Music House talking about contracts, schedules, plans etc. Sasuke was tired as fuck. He'd had two threesomes all with different women and hadn't left the club until it was time for the radio interview where he had to hurry to take a shower, get dressed and get there. He needed to take a nap; he hadn't slept at all in about three weeks. Sure he was a demon but he too needed rest. However, with everything going on it just continuously evaded him, as if sleep hated him or something.
Naruto yawned. "This is really boring, can we just stop here?" he asked. "I have a life I want to continue living." He groaned.
"That's it," Kakashi said taking up all the papers and stuffing them into a brief case. "I'm done with you losers for now; it's about time I get some time to myself."
"You're acting like you're a well functioning manager to begin with." Shikamaru retorted. "We're glad to get rid of you too."
"Don't be smart," Kakashi smirked taking out his Itcha Itcha paradise book and flipping it open. "I'm smarter than you might think; bad things might happen to you Nara." He warned.
Naruto did a loud nasty yawn again. "Teme, when are you going to pick up Sakura-Chan?" he asked.
Sasuke looked at his watch and sighed. "In about ten minutes." He shrugged.
"Dude are you sure you want to do this?" Shikamaru asked. "I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just wondering if this is the right time to try and connect with her."
"It's as good a time as it's going to get. I'm sure I can take care of her."
"I never said you couldn't." Shikamaru said. "I just want to make sure you know what you're getting into."
"Alright, what haven't you told me?" Sasuke demanded warily.
Shikamaru cleared his throat. "The information I have right now is really all over the place, I shouldn't be speaking about it least you take it all the wrong way or it's inaccurate."
"Tell me anyways."
He scratched his head and yawned. "Well, I've been doing the whole 'sieving for information' and I went to see a Seer again, like you had asked a few days after Tsunade had spoken to us about Sakura's conditions." He began.
Naruto sighed. "I still can't believe she's that sick." He said. "Teme, not to sound like an ass but if you don't protect her with all you have, with that soul inside of her she's not going to make it."
"I know that." Sasuke quipped.
"Like I was saying." Shikamaru said. "We've established that Sakura is different but Sasuke something is wrong with her and I mean very, very wrong. She's outside of Nature wrong." He said seriously.
"Like what?"
"That's the thing, we're not sure. I left the Seer giving her sometime to do her 'Seer thing', congregate with others on this after our blood oath to secrecy. What she told me is that in her body Sakura is not alone, as if she's split into multiple people or something. Her mind is as weak as a feather just like her body and it's not because of illness. Her mental view, her perspective is not technically the side-effect of her variety of illnesses. Her selflessness, it is who she is but it's as if, that's the part of her mind she got stuck with and the 'other beings' inside of her got other sections. Am I even making any sense to you? What Antabela ( the Seer) saw was…"
"Talk would you Nara." Neji said. "I'm actually hungry."
"Sakura's body dead." He said simply.
Silence stretched across the room and Sasuke leaned back. "What?" he asked in a haze.
That was absolutely, completely, without a doubt impossible. There was no way in hell or high waters that could ever happen. Not under Sasuke's watch. Impossible. Wasn't it? Wasn't he enough to keep her alive?
Shikamaru nodded. "That's what she saw. She was dead but at the same time she wasn't dead. Her body was possessed by another being. Look I'm telling you, the information is all over the damn place. The Seer and Antayia haven't figured out anything yet. Everything I'm telling you right now might not even be 100% accurate."
Sasuke stood and ran his fingers through his hair. "I agree with you. I don't particularly think anything related on that topic, I should hear that isn't 100%." He said simply ending the topic.
"I guess we're on our own for at least an entire week?" Naruto asked.
"I'm surprised you know what's up." Sasuke said.
"You're such a smartass." Neji said rolling his white eyes. "That means it's you and her alone?"
Sasuke nodded. "Just me and her." he agreed casting a long glance at Shikamaru. "I'm trusting you with all this if it's not too much."
Shikamaru shook his head. "It never is." He confirmed.
Sakura had been in a coma for five days and woke up two days before his concert. He had been far too busy to go to her when she was awake least she needed to talk –which he didn't have time for really- but Tsunade had called him in this morning to see if he was serious on taking care of Sakura. He'd had Krystal do a little magic for him and had Rin consent to having Sakura stay with him for as long as he deemed worthy. It had taken some words and vows but Tsunade finally agreed to it. He was on break and couldn't think of a better way to spend his time than with Sakura. This was going to work. There was nothing more to it than making it work. He was done playing around and being one thing this minute then another thing the next.
"What are you going to do?" he asked them.
"I'm planning to have sex with my piano for at least ten hours." Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"I've got a date with my cello until five and then make up sex with my flute." Neji said. "We've missed each other and probably a date with Tenten somewhere after that, if she finally decides to answer my calls."
"She's been avoiding you like a plague. Why?" Shikamaru asked.
"If she'd answer her phone I'm sure I'd be able to tell you." he murmured.
"And you Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
"Ramen." Naruto said simply. "That's all I need, my guitar and drums and I'm set. I'm too beat to do anything else but relax."
Sasuke nodded. "When I walk out of here I am out of service, don't bother me." he warned.
"Don't worry Teme, we got this." Naruto grinned.
"Or so you say until the Pentitantum comes knocking on your front door for that girl." Kakashi said easily. "You all talk so openly as if walls don't have ears."
"Are you going to talk?"
"Why of course not, you're all sadly my sons." He mused reading. "I'm just saying Sasuke, be careful with her, you're going to have one eventful week." He warned wisely.
Sasuke nodded before leaving. He went into white Ferrari California. He started the engine and backed out of the Music House driveway and in the direction of the hospital. The Music House was where they all did all their media and music associated things. They each had their own room with all the specific instruments where specialized in and three recording studios in there. Since they made tons of music that they wouldn't plan to publish to media but have for personal purpose, each of them having their own rooms and things proved to be very convenient. He made mental note to bring Sakura there one day if things went well.
He'd had this harmonic melody in his head since the day he was at the hospital in the waiting room. It was the first he'd heard a melody, a rhythm in his head and couldn't find out how to bring it into reality and make it into an actual sound. The beat, the soothing way of it wouldn't come out of his head. He wanted to figure out how to bring it to life, to the world and probably to her sometime soon.
He listened to the last set of piano work Shikamaru had done as he made his way to the hospital. He hoped she received this thing well, he was trying this again. He wasn't giving up and he hoped when he picked her up she'd realize that.
When he arrived there he came out and locked his car, his keys dangling in his hand. He looked around and sighed mentally when jaws dropped, eyes filled with hearts and people paused. Hadn't they ever seen a famous person? He'd been here so many times since school started he was sure they'd all seen him before. He rolled his eyes and headed to the entrance. On his way inside a teenage girl practically bounced in front of him. He backed up before she butt heads with him and looked at her frankly.
"You're Sasuke-kun!" she panicked.
"Yeah I am." He replied simply looking at his watch.
He had this policy of not denying fans or turning them down for pictures, autographs etc especially little kids and teens –older women were a different story- but he was in a hurry and he wasn't in the mood.
"Can I have your autograph?" she asked her eyes exploding. "Everyone else is afraid to come up to you so I want one for all the other girls outside."
Sasuke turned to look outside at the large group of women that seemed to come out of nowhere, hearts in their eyes and drooling over him. He shrugged.
"Pen?" he asked blandly.
She popped one out and pointed at her left breast. "Right here." she said batting her eyelashes.
Sasuke signed his name on her breast and gave her the pen.
"Can you give it kiss, for good luck?!" she asked, breathing heavily. She looked like she was about to start crying hysterically.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her. He sighed and gave the top of her breast that he'd signed a peck of the lips and headed to the front desk. He tried his best to ignore the fact that today the hospital seemed to be filled with teenage girls and slutty adults who kept winking at him. The receptionist flushed.
"Again," she said batting her eyelashes, "you've been here quite a lot lately Sasuke-kun." She giggled.
"Could you just tell me where Haruno Sakura is and tell Tsunade that I'm here?" he asked coldly.
"Sure thing," she said sweetly, "she's in room 410, sixth floor. You know," she began picking up one of the many phones around her to make an important call, "I get off at eight."
"Good for you." Sasuke grunted leaving the desk and heading towards the elevator.
He went to Sakura's room first and stood outside the door looking in at her. She was connected to a fair amount of drips and watching the small television they had placed in the room. She was crying, tears running down her cheeks and dripping onto her clothes. She was trying to ignore them he could tell. He'd never comforted before and he wasn't sure he was that good at it and the last thing he wanted to do was make it worse. He tried to respect her privacy in all ways that he could and tried not to invade her emotions just so he could understand what she was feeling. He watched her until he couldn't anymore because her tears kept coming harder and looked about the hall.
Nurses were rushing and strutting passed him, glancing at him every second, flushing and turning pink, batting their eye lashes and swaying their assets his way. If Sasuke could vomit at the sight of all of them trying so hard, he would have. He heard Tsunade's distinct footsteps and turned to face her. She signaled him to follow her and he glanced at Sakura one last time before heading down the hall with her, his hands in his pockets leisurely.
When they were securely in the office Tsunade sat down and started taking out a whole lot of bottled and bag pills, liquid prescription etc and grouping them. Sasuke stood in front of her and waited.
"Are you sure you can handle this?" She asked distant, still focused on what she was doing.
"I'm sure I can take care of her." Sasuke assured her emptily.
She grunted and leaned back. "Sasuke, I've told you how sick she is. It's going to take such a long time for her to recover from this as it is, if you're not dedicated to the task at hand I'll find some other way to see to it that she's taken care of."
"I can do it," he said getting a tad annoyed with the woman.
She sighed and nodded. "You have school in the days and I'm sure you have interviews, records and the like. Enlighten me as to how you're going to-"
"I have nothing of the sort to do." he said. "I'm fine without school as those who are fine with it. I will be home with her at all times." he said.
She shook her head. "I can see how reckless this is, I cannot believe Rin has agreed to this and saw this as a better option." She took a deep breath. "Alright, this is the medication Sakura needs to take daily. This first group right here she needs to take these all when she wakes up. This is before she eats. She's allowed to eat then an hour or two after she takes these. Directly before and after each main meal she needs to take these. These are her night pills which are important. This," she took up something that looked like trees, "is done like tea, you need to put it hot water and draw it out. She's not going to want to drink this because it tastes horrible, burns and is going to make her cough up blood couple of times but you're going to have to make her. It makes things worse before it makes things better so be prepared for her vomiting and spewing blood. She needs to drink this, it's important." She said.
Sasuke nodded.
"Did you get all of that?" Tsunade asked. "Do you need me to write it down or go over it again?"
Sasuke nodded his head minutely. Tsunade nodded.
"Alright, since you have that down, moving on. These right here are all her vitamin and mineral pills. She has her iron and her calcium which is needed; she can take these when she's taking the set of pills for after meals. This ointment is just for her throat, you need to rub this on it because it's pretty sore and scarred on the inside, it's going to be a couple days before she can talk well." Tsunade said. "She's supposed to stay off that foot of hers because it's going to need some time to heal. She's not in as much pain as she would have been in if she was awake during the first week but she's still in a lot of pain. In each batch I've already put pills to help everything else inside each specified batch I have here." she said. "Did you get that as well?"
He nodded.
"If anything goes wrong, anything at all you need to call me. If you see her worsen in any way at all that are not 'normal' or appear to be getting sick in a different kind of way than she already is or anything out of the norm you must call me. We need her body focused on getting better. I hope no one that is sick is at your house."
"No," he said.
She nodded. "This other ointment is for her knees, you can just put this on it when it hurts more than usual. Since she's been here long enough to start the healing process and get pretty far, protocol doesn't allow me to cast it but know the drill. I wrapped it with what was required; it's very easy and simple so you can do it too. Questions?"
"What of her eating habits?" he asked.
She smiled, impressed. He smirked mentally and rolled his eyes. So that was a test was it?
"Getting her to eat in general is going to be a problem. She has an issue with holding food down or even eating when she's hungry. She needs a lot of fruits and vegetables and she'll eat those but things such as rice or chicken or even fish, you're going to have to fight with her but you need to make sure she eats three meals a day. The list goes on I'm afraid but if you stick to the basics and what's on this paper I have here, things should be fine." She assured him. "She needs lots of rest but I'm sure you're no fool and you're well aware of that as well as many other things. Alright, now since that's all out of the way and you remember all I just told you then I'm sure you can take her home with you." she conceded.
She took all the pills and put them each in labeled zip locked bags before putting them all the zip lock bags into a big bag. She rose and handed it to him. He took it simply and looked at her, waiting for her to do what she needed to do so he could go. He didn't particularly like hospitals for the scent of death lingered behind all the sprays and detergents and cleaning aids. No matter how hard they scrubbed, the smell of death wouldn't leave a place like this.
They left the office and headed back to Sakura's room. Tsunade pushed the door open and Sakura instantly covered her face.
"Sakura, I already talked to you about this and told you that Sasuke was going to be the one to take care of you. Are you ready to go?" she asked softly, her hands stuffed in her white coat pocket.
Sakura looked at Sasuke and forced a smile. He felt some part of him inside wither from her lies. She nodded and Tsunade sighed. "Alright, Sasuke why don't you wait out front for her, we'll have her out in a bit." Tsunade said.
He nodded and he walked through the doors and headed to the parking lot.
He went back into the parking lot and drove around to the front of the hospital, ignoring all the eyes on his car. Thank the lord for tinted windows. When Sakura was wheeled through the front door, he went and put her in the car, put her bag of meds on the back seat, rolled up the windows and headed on his way to his second house.
He glanced at her for a while and she was looking through the window almost hollow like. He looked at her in the baggy jeans and at her knee. He wondered if Krystal could help her with that. He'd have to see when he went home. The car was silent and he couldn't help the unease.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
She nodded sadly, her eyes casted down. He didn't say anything for he didn't know what to say and turned on a dirt road and headed down after a painfully long time driving in silence. He drove for a few minutes until the road began to pave out and the gates were already open. He drove in and around the fountain of Asanephpa and parked in front.
This was his house. When he came here he was off limits. No one came here but him and occasionally his brother when he called him but that was it. He didn't bring his girls here, didn't let them sleep here, they didn't even know about this place. Only his maid –Minie- came here. She looked at him curiously and he shrugged. He turned off the engine, came out of the car and opened her side of the car. He slipped his hand around her and under her thighs, making sure to watch her knee and scooped her out of the car. She winced and he bit the insides of his jaw. He didn't want to hurt her but she had to get in. This house was two stories, open and beautiful.
He took her inside. He slipped her into the bed under the sheets carefully on the first floor. Her body was so light and fragile. He felt like the wind could break her in half. She looked around, uneasy he could tell. He knew she couldn't really talk because of everything but he just wished he knew what was going through her mind. This was going to be harder than he thought. The air was too foreign and awkward between them.
He knew that the last time they consciously parted it really wasn't on good terms. With the both of them being immature. With her avoiding him and then he avoiding her, simply because they kept misunderstanding each other. They didn't establish any grounds with whatever relationship they had.
She opened her mouth and started to speak but realized that there was no sound coming out. She slumped and leaned back, looking down at her lap. Sasuke rummaged through his room until he found a fountain pen and a note pad. He handed it to her and sat down beside her on the bed. She tapped the pen on the note pad for a second, as if debating on what to write. She sniffed silently and wiped tears away from her eyes before they could fall. He watched her as she started to scribble.
Why are you doing this? You don't need to take care of me. After everything that happen, I know you don't want to.
"Alright, just for the sake of clearing this to ensure that we need not speak of it again let me tell you something and never forget it. This is free will and whatever I do from this point onwards is solely because I want to." He replied.
I don't want to burden you Sasuke. You've done so much for me already.
"Come on Sakura, I really don't want to have go over this entire thing again with you." He told her. "Stop, just stop that it's getting really annoying." he mumbled lying down on the bed the wrong way so his head was next to her thighs and his feet propped on the wall above the head board.
She looked into his face and he held her gaze effortlessly. Her eyes were hollow and deeply sad. He looked away and glanced at the clock. Maybe he should leave her to go to bed or something. He wasn't really sure what else to do. Tsunade had told him that she had already eaten and knowing her, more than likely she wasn't hungry. She couldn't walk and she couldn't talk and she was tired. It was best if he did leave her alone and sort a few things out.
He watched her hand as it smoothed across the notepad and she held it up.
What does this mean then? Are we back to square one?
He smirked. Square one; he'd never thought of it like that. "No, we're not back at square one. We're just going to cooperate and stop trying to deny this whole thing. Sakura, you just have to understand that you can't be in this alone and vice versa. This is a 'me and you' kind of thing, so nothing's going to change until you just accept that and stop beating yourself up about it."
I understand that.
"Do you? Because lately you've been riveting all on your own without any clue as to what's going on and you've been trying to put a stop to something you have absolutely no control over. I can't keep trying so hard over and over again, this is already hard for me."
I know that, I'm so sorry.
"No need to apologize, it's not as if I'm incapable of understanding." He reasoned.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what's real from what's not anymore.
"I'm here to help with that too." He said. "You need me, no questions asked about that and believe it or not, I need you just the same. This just won't work unless you want it to."
I do want this to work; I just don't know what you want me to do. I don't know how to react to any of this and I don't want to do it wrong. I can't handle so many things at once.
"You don't have to do anything except stick around and cooperate. There is no right or wrong in this Sakura, I've told you that before." He said. "There is no set thing that you need to do, stop thinking so hard."
But you were going to make this 'change' before and you never did.
He glared at her for a second. "Sakura I've tried." He said. "I have been trying this whole time and then everything just went down the damn drain." He said truthfully.
She looked down and wiped her eyes again. He rolled his eyes at her, he knew the truth hurt but she had to hear it. He had tried, she was the one who hadn't made it work simply because she didn't want it to.
Alright, I'll cooperate I promise.
"And I'll hold you to that." he said. "Also, if it matters, your writing is terrible." He commented looking at it.
She smiled and laughed, a raspy strained sound; dusty.
It's the penmanship of a free spirit. I'm a free spirit; I just let the words spill across the pages.
"And 'Spill' it certainly does." he smirked. She rolled her eyes at him. He looked at his watch. "Well, to get this out of the way. Ja tebi dozvati." He mumbled.
There was a gust of wind and Krystal was standing in a star girl pose, dressed in a formal blue evening gown, her eyes flashing. She looked around the alien room.
"What the fu-"
Sasuke cleared his throat and she looked at him then at the wide eyed pink haired girl next to him. Her eyes travelled from one to the other then she looked around. There was a loud roar and wind spun around the room, her hair blowing back as she suddenly erupted in rage. Krystal looked at him in a 'this mother fucker did not just do that' look, her mouth almost hanging open.
"I was in the middle of something you little bitch!" she barked. "You inconsiderate bastard you didn't have to summon me!" she screamed.
"Don't frighten her Krystal, act civilized would you?"
The wind died instantly and she smiled sweetly. "Hello darling, I'm Krystal, Sasuke's sister-in-law and I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure." she said like an innocent princess.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I was wondering if you could help me out." he said.
"Well since you summoned me I'm in the mood to not do jack for your ass. What'd you want?" she demanded. "Just snatch a chick from her dress fitting like some off the shelf douche." She mumbled to herself.
"She has a bad knee and I know you're not good at healing other worldly injuries but I was wondering if you could do something. I know you've been practicing."
She looked at Sakura before back at Sasuke. "Now you know how difficult that is and even if I tried, I doubt I could do much. I'm not an Earth healer," She reasoned.
Sasuke shot her a death glare and she held her hands up in surrender.
"I'm not saying I won't try, jeez, put your gun down. You're such a brat when it comes on to this girl." She said rolling her beautiful eyes. She looked at Sakura. "He talks about you nonstop with his brother it gets irritating. Granted you can't blame him but still, know what I mean?" she smiled.
"You talk so much, did you know that?" Sasuke asked her irritated, his cheeks slightly flushed.
She laughed. "Well now, let's not be enemies my dear boy." She joked walking over to Sakura.
She pulled the sheets off her and with her fingernails tore through the part of Sakura's jeans that cover her bad knee. Sakura winced from the stubble movement. Krystal eyed it for a while, looking at it intently. She could heal any damage, you name it, that her Kavazwalians could possibly get but humans no. She was a Kavazwalian healer, not an earth one.
"Well?" Sasuke asked.
She nodded. "I can heal this or at least I think I can. It's not anything too bad, pretty simple stuff. It's not complicated like AID's, Cancer, Sickle cell or anything." She said. "see if you had called me I could have whipped up a potion real fast and be here in a few to give it to her but no, I can't do that now since you're an asshole, ruined my fitting and completely throwing my schedule in the whack. Thank you Sasuke, just thank you." she rued. "You ready home girl?" Krystal asked.
Sakura just nodded numbly.
"Alright." Krystal said and cracked her knuckles. She rested her hands gently on Sakura's knee, close her eyes and spoke in a smooth, light, wise voice. "Waktu memegang dan ruang, padang rumput rusak danbergelombang pasang surut, memperbaiki yang salah dan menyembuhkan yang rusak. Waktu memegang dan ruang, padang rumput rusak danbergelombang pasang surut, memperbaiki yang salah dan menyembuhkan yang rusak." Krystal, using her sharp nails pricked her finger, a hot almost neon blue liquid fell on the middle of Sakura knee. "Waktu memegang dan ruang, padang rumput rusak danbergelombang pasang surut, memperbaiki yang salah dan menyembuhkan yang rusak."
Sasuke yawned and Krystal snorted. "How does it feel baby girl?" she asked.
Sakura took up back the pen. Better, thank you very much.
Krystal's forehead creased. "I won't even ask." She laughed backing away. "Well I have to go and Sasuke remember your promise to me, you've already been booked."
"You made a deal with my band members, not with me." Sasuke said. "Go away now Krystal, you've served your purpose."
She sneered before clapping her hands and vanishing. Sakura looked at him with her eyes bulging out of her head. He chuckled.
"Reality. Kavazwalian healing witch from the islands there." he replied. "You'll get used to things like this soon." He assured her flipping out of the bed to his feet. "Bed?" he asked, her obviously didn't know what else to do. She shook her head defiantly. He glared. "Yes," he said. She shook her head again and he glared harder. "Yes."
She rolled her eyes and scribbled on the notepad before holding it up. I'm not tired.
"You're lying and you and I both know that. You're exhausted." He stated. "Go to sleep." He instructed.
But I don't want to.
"Well I'm in charge here and you agreed to cooperate so do as you promised." He shrugged.
Tell me a story?
"No."
She looked down, did a tiny movement of her bottom lips and nodded, placing a fake smile wide on her face. She put the pen and the notepad down and slid down into the bed, under the heavy dark covers. He watched her not surprised that she wouldn't persist.
Why would she just take things like that when she didn't deserve it? Why would she let him talk to her like she was nothing when she deserved more than that? If Sasuke was being honest he didn't want to believe that she accepted it because it was what she was used to. For some reason that reality seemed too harsh, too hard for someone like her.
"But," he began before he could stop himself, "I'll sing for you if you want me to." He whispered, locking eyes with her.
Her eyes darted around and her cheeks heated. He took a deep breath and headed back to the bed and went next to her. He took her small hands and moved her body ever so slowly until she was leaning on him, his head resting on her shoulder nest to her ear. He waited for her to relax completely into him, her breathing slow and deep and her eyes closed. The fact that she couldn't talk was actually lovely. If she wanted to protest she couldn't, not now.
She didn't tense she just waited and then he began singing, his voice soft and smooth, rich with much warmth and care, velvety and beautiful. He started singing over a beat that seemed to come out of thin air, low and calming in effort to put her to sleep. She wondered how he could make her feel something like that.
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold worldKiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent rest
While bosom is still untouched
Unveiled on another hair
While the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
Her breathing deepened as she sighed into him, dipping into a deep sleep, his voice a lullaby emerging for an ocean of calmness and softness. His voice rode the waves of serenity, soft and smooth coated with purpose; it's celestial and unrealistic feel, something too good, too perfect to be real. His voice sounded as if she created it from her mind, the most perfect thing she had ever heard, going deep into her soul and sending intricate heat through her heart.
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour`s never a wasted one
The violin, the poet`s hand,
Every thawing heart plays your theme with careKiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
She had fully drifted off into wonder land, her heart beat underwater creating a wrapping and overcoming sound, blending in with the musical harmony of his voice and the sounds around them.
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

He held her close in his arms as she took even, deep, slow and relaxed breathes. Her body fit into his perfectly, so right even in his jagged and mis-matched creases. She fit into every seam, knuckle and cranny. He breathed in her scent and finally released himself into her. She was beautiful both inside and out. There was something about her purer than waters flowing from the highest of mountains. He kissed her neck, then her cheek and let the warmth of her body merge with the warmth of his. If this was how she was going to make him feel, why should he deny himself such a good thing?
So far this had been a confusing battle for him. He'd made one decision and changed his mind so many times but now that was coming to an end. He was just afraid; stunned by the alien feeling she gave to him and he didn't know how to deal with it but now, now he knew it wasn't bad and that it didn't make him weak to want her so badly, to want to care and protect her.
There you guys have it! I had a pretty traumatic weekend and it's been really hard for me and I'm going through a lot of stuff and I just want to say that even though you guys don't know it, your reviews have kept me going and stopping me from just clocking out. You guys really make me feel better and I just want to say THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! YES YOU READING THIS! I LOVE YOU AND I AM VERY GREATFRUL TO HAVE YOU!
Loving you until the end of time,
