~THE SECOND WORDS~
After our kiss… I was ecstatic. And I could tell-so was he. Which proved to me that I wasn't dreaming… that kiss was real.
"I-I-I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…" Legolas said.
"No, it's quite alright," I replied, trying to lock my eyes on his, "I should be the one who's apologizing. It wasn't your fault."
"I don't think it was anyone's fault," he said, still avoiding my gaze.
"Well, that's a nice theory but I know it's not true."
"And what if you're wrong?" he inquired.
"Then that was the start of something big," I whispered.
~A STRANGER IN MY SIGHTS~
As Legolas turned to leave, I caught a glimpse of someone else… fleeing the garden. So as I watched my elf leave, I ran in the direction of the stranger. All the while, amazed at the fact that Legolas may have felt the same way as I did. But still panged with curiosity. As I finally came within grabbing distance of this stranger, it became apparent to me that his running form was that of a human's. The only human within Lothlorien's borders was Aragorn. Immediately I stopped. And Aragorn kept running. Assuming that he would run until I caught him, I yelled out his name and he halted. I was amazed at the fact that it wasn't long before he turned around and started walking towards me.
~ ARAGORN~
"So you've found me…" Aragorn said.
"I can't help feeling that I should tell you the same," I said.
"So you know-or think you know, what I saw…"
"I believe that's safe to assume," I said, "Do you believe it is bad or good?"
"The kiss? In my opinion, it's not up to me. If he brings you joy and you bring him the same, who am I to interfere? But in my history, a pure elf as a lover can bring problems, for both of you. But if love is true, and you both feel blessed, nothing can stand the way."
"But-if nothing can stand in the way, and it's perfectly alright… how come you ran from me?" I had to inquire.
"Simple. Only if you ran after me would it prove that the kiss was wanted by you, all along," Aragorn remarked, as he walked away.
~WHAT NEXT?~
It was really hard to think of something other than what had happened. Aragorn had seen through me and I had seen through Legolas. I was in love and I was happy. Nothing could change my mood. But after that day, I knew things would be odd. In one day, I fell in love, and started to actually enjoy my job. In one day… I was completely lost. I had what I wanted, or was on the way to getting what I wanted, and I didn't know what to do next. It was horrible. I figured that the only thing to improve my mood was to see Legolas. I needed to see Legolas.
~BREATHING~
I decided to meet him in the garden, again. I approached him… he was strolling along the path, swirling a daisy and humming a song. I saw him and my heart skipped a beat. This was what I needed. So I slowly walked the path and tried to think of what I would say to him. But I decided the butterflies in my stomach wouldn't settle at all. So I snuck up on him and tapped his shoulder.
"Oh, hello… I didn't see you there," he said.
"Well that's a shock, it's usually hard for an elf to not see anything."
"Well, I don't have eyes in the back of my head," he joked.
"Well, I think you should, it'd be the only improvement anyone could make upon you," I said.
"Oh really…" he said as he kissed my cheek…
"But of course, because you are perfect in almost every way, and I can be assure you know who I was talking about in our last meeting in this garden…"
"Your soon to be lover?" he inquired. "Your soon to be lover was me?"
"Aye, but of course…" I said "And I am the luckiest elf ever."
~KISSING~
So he kissed me, this time-his perfect lips pressed against mine. And his tongue somehow found mine. And we looked in each other's eyes, and we sang, and we kissed. We were in love. When he held me, I felt safe. I felt wanted- needed, special. I didn't want to leave, but it got late and we had to go our separate ways and neither could tear away from our goodnight kiss. But on my way back to my quarters… I couldn't think of one way I could live without him. I needed him. He was like oxygen or song.
Life simply didn't exist without him.
After our kiss… I was ecstatic. And I could tell-so was he. Which proved to me that I wasn't dreaming… that kiss was real.
