A/N: thx ppl for reviewing you make me feel so *tear* loved. I obviously can't make it K/D anymore because that would make quite a few people unhappy. And to the anonymous reviewer person who suggested that I have something happen to bring them together I like that suggestion but I haven't the slightest idea what. I already had this written before I read that so I'm going to post this anyway. So if anyone has a suggestion on something that should happen please email me at greenngrayeyez4eva@hotmail.com thx ok I'll shut up now
Chapter 4
After lunch, Kel met her friend at the appointed place. He skin was a rich tan as he sat without his shirt on waiting for Kel to arrive so they could begin their fight. When she walked over he looked up at her shading his eyes from the sun with one hand.
"Hullo," he said. "I don't suppose you'd like to spare a man what little pride he's got left in his fighting arts by reconsidering your challenge?"
"Sounds good to me, I don't feel much like fighting anyhow."
"Thank the gods I've been spared once again," he said jokingly as he reached down and pulled his shirt over his head. "So have you sorted through what needs to be sorted through?"
"Have you?" she retorted.
"Actually…no," he sighed a defeated tone in his voice.
"I didn't think so. Until we do can we go on just being how we used to be?"
"As the lady wishes," he grinned knowing he would receive glares of outrage from Kel.
"I am no more a lady than you are a flower – "
"Oh but you must not have noticed my new petals."
"Gee I wonder why, maybe because they are growing in a place where your head seems to be at the moment." Her comment made him shut up but his eyes took on a pained expression. "I'm sorry Neal, I didn't mean it. Truly I didn't."
"You sounded awful serious to me," he told her trying not to let too much sarcasm slip into his words."
She grinned and threw her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. "From the bottom of my heart I truly am sorry."
Neal knew he should have untangled himself from her arms that instant but he couldn't he loved the feeling he got from touching her. "I know Kel."
Kel gazed deeper into the depths of his green eyes. "Neal if you could do anything at this moment what would you do?"
"This." Swiftly he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her commandingly and then let her go.
"I ought to hurt you right here and now but at the moment I'm trying to erase all my childhood fantasies not that they are fulfilled."
"Really that was a fantasy of yours eh?"
"Yes and I'll thank you not to mention it to anyone.
"My lips are sealed," he said than kissed her again, "as yours should be."
That drew a laugh from the girl, "You really must stop doing that else I might have to challenge you again."
"we wouldn't want that to happen now would we? The two of us having at each other with, well, with a considerably smaller amount of clothes between us."
"Stop it Neal you're making it sound like something else."
"I apologize," he said taking her hand and brushing his lips against it.
"I said stop it. Oh and by the way I am leaving in the morning to return to the Own."
"Do I disgust you that much that you must go travel around with a pack of men?"
"No silly but that's what I was on my to do before I stopped here and made a mess of things. It's getting late Neal maybe we should head inside."
"As you wish."
They spent the rest of the afternoon talking, playing chess and enjoying each other's company. Dinner came and went without any interesting events. Kel sighed as the night drew to a close, she was having such a wonderful time and now she had to go to an empty, lonely, cold, uncaring bed. Neal heard the sigh, "miss me already do you?"
"No but you go ahead and believe that, it'll satisfy your swollen ego."
Neal rose to his feet and brought Kel up with him. He looked into her eyes searching for something, what he found was an odd mix of emotions that gave him a headache. He pulled her into a tight embrace kissed her on the cheek, extremely close to her lips, then bowed over her hand and kissed it. "Good night my lady. If you need anything feel free to come to my room, I shall see you in the morning."
"Escort me to my room please since you insist upon treating me like a lady."
"But of course my dear."
He offered her his arm which she took as they headed for her room.
Sorry it's a little long but I didn't know exactly where to stop anywho, more to come if you, the all-knowing reviewers wish it. I know it's kind of well odd but please review anyway. Also if you would be so kind tell me who you think Kel should end up with, Neal or Dom k well thx again
