Chapter 4- Finally
They walked into a big room that seemed to have been covered in a thin blanket of light. There was a large stage on which there was a band waiting for us. As soon as we walked in, they began to play. The music was that of many different horns and a cello, and it had an upbeat tempo. Happy couples ran out on to the floor and began to dance. She saw one couple that reminded her of Mark and herself. A small feeling of sadness swept over her. He hurt her once, but she gave him another chance. And all it did was get her dumped. She wondered if he was still with the girl she had caught him with, or if he had a new one yet.
*Why didn't you get rid of him when you had the chance?* she asked herself. Then a light shone in on her darkness as Legolas brought her back into reality.
"Are you all right, lady Alex?" he said looking down at her.
"Yeah, I was just thinking about home," she replied as she met his gaze.
"You miss it there," he said with a sound of disappointment in his voice. She gave a small chuckle and said,
"No, Legolas. I am much happier here with you than I would have ever been at home." He finally broke into a smile that made her feel warm inside. There was just something about him that brought her to him, like a bee to flowers, cookies to milk, or a pen to paper. It was like he mended her broken heart, and only he could find the missing pieces and complete her.
"Come. Dance with me." he said pulling her out onto the floor. He was quick to spin her around in big circles, which made her giggle and become a bit light-headed. She instantly forgot all her worries. He pulled her in and held her close so she wouldn't fall. She laid her head on his chest and heard his heart beat, and then wondered if she could complete him.
The song was over. Even though it had seemed to last for hours, she wished it had been longer. They separated and found themselves following everyone else's gaze.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a special show for you tonight. We have had many requests for a certain elf's performance. I have convinced him to sing for us." Elrond was standing on stage looking out among the audience.
"Legolas, who is he..." she began to speak but stopped when she realized he was no longer with her. She looked about for him frantically, but without luck.
*Where could he have gone? He was here only a moment ago...* That's when she heard it. The voice of the singer was undoubtedly that of Legolas. He had the voice of angels, and his words sent chills throughout her whole body.
(A/N: I know Legolas would probably never know this song since it doesn't exist in middle-earth, but it fits right in so hope you don't mind!)
Every single time I see you
I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna fell this way again
There's a picture that's hanging in the back of my head
I see it over and over
I want to hold you, and love you,
in my arms and then
I want to need you, cause I need to be with you till the end
And then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it in
This time, tonight
If only, I had the guts to feel this way
If only, you'd look at me and want to stay
If only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go, cause I need you
I sit here waiting, wondering, hoping that I'll make this right
Cause all I think about is your hands
Your face and all these lonely nights
There's a feeling that's screaming in the back of my head
saying over and over
I want to hold you, and love you,
in my arms and then
I want to need you, cause I need to be with you till the end
And then I hear myself reply she'll never let you in
This time, tonight
If only, I had the guts to feel this way
If only, you'd look at me and want to stay
If only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go, cause I need you
Please don't go cause I need you now
I want to hear you say, it'll always be this way
We'll be hand in hand for every night and every day
I want to scream and shout, cause I'm losing any doubt
And all I care about is you and me and us and now
If only, I had the guts to feel this way
If only, you'd look at me and want to stay
If only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go, cause I need you
Please don't go cause I need you now
She was so awe-struck that she couldn't move. The whole audience must have been the same, because it was a few seconds before everyone burst out in applause. She had no idea that he could sing! After he bowed a few times, he leapt off the stage and came to Alex. The rest of the elves/men/dwarfs/hobbits had gone back to their own business. He took her hand and pulled her out the double doors. He then led her to a bench not far down the hallway. They sat and Legolas began.
"That song was for you, Alex," he said looking down at his hands. She gently grabbed his chin and pulled his gaze to meet hers.
"I need you too, Legolas," she whispered. Then he pulled her into a passionate kiss. It was like he had been waiting all his life for this one moment. Her lips were sweeter than any sugar he could imagine, and he wanted to taste them forever.
