Sorry for the VERY LONG wait for another chapter to my story "Suspicions", I'm sure you've all forgot about it or never read it before . But here is the conclusion to the suspenseful 2nd chapter. Enjoy! P.S. I keep forgetting this, but the story here takes place at Starwind & Hawkings. Caution: If you do not like lovey dovey things, please do not read this chapter as it has lovey dovey details in it. Thank you
"The truth is Gene, I really do care about you. You may think I am just a little girl who will never love someone, but I found that someone. And it turns out to be you Gene.", I confessed. "Wow, so you really do love me. Oh well, that's good enough for me. But wait, aren't you 15 years old? Because if you are, I cannot love you like this. It's too criminal", Gene said to me, looking down sadly. "That is another confession I must make, I lied to you all. I feel bad about lying to you most of all, since you're the one I love. And I did it just so I'd feel liked a little bit", I replied, almost crying. "So how old are you really?", Gene asked. "I'm actually 17 years old, I'll be 18 soon. Is that okay with you? Does it make you feel better?" I confessed to Gene. "Let me think for a moment", Gene replied, going into a thought. I looked down and closed my eyes, thinking he'd say he still felt wrong about it. "Yes, it is okay with me, so I guess me and you aren't too far apart now, are we?", Gene said, smiling. I looked up, my eyes opening just a bit wider. I shook my head lightly. I shed a couple of tears just then, I was so happy. But I didn't want Gene to see me crying, but I guess he did. "Come here Eliza, I'm here for you. You don't have to worry anymore.", Gene told me in a calm voice. I moved over to Gene and gave him a big hug, feeling his warm body, which made me feel very good inside, and it calmed me down. I held onto Gene for about 5 minutes before I let him go.
"Feeling better now?", Gene asked me. "Yes, actually I am feeling better. Thanks", I replied. We left my room and made our way out into the living room where everyone was relaxing. "So I see you found Gene Eliza. Thank you, I hate to admit it but we were worried about him.", Jim said to me as we came into the room. "Of course you were worried about me, I'm Gene The Great!", Gene said with pride. Everyone except me and Melfina sighed at what Gene said, which made him fall over. I giggled at that. "What's wrong everyone?", Melfina asked. "We had a feeling Gene would say something like that.", Jim replied. "It was still pretty funny", I said. Gene sat on the couch and groaned. I went over and sat next to him. I held onto his arm and rested my head on his shoulder. This made the others a little suspicious. "So what were you two doing all this time?", Ashia asked. "Nothing really, we were just having a nice conversation.", Gene answered, then he looked down at me. "Hey Eliza, could you let go of my arm now?", Gene said to me, smiling a bit nervously. "I don't want to right now", I replied. Jim lowered his eyelids. "Gene, what were you REALLY doing all this time?", Jim asked suspiciously. "Nothing, I told you we were just talking", Gene answered. "Then why does Eliza seem to be so attached to you? You didn't do anything to her, did you?", Ashia wondered. Everyone gave Gene a suspicious look. "What! She seems attached to me because...um...she...um", Gene started to say, looking for the right words. I buried my face into Gene's shoulder. This is it, he's going to tell everyone I'm in love with him, I thought. Then I came up with an idea "I'm tired right now, and it just so happens Gene is right here, so I have something to lay on.", I said. It was a lie, but it saved Gene's life. The others believed me, and I sighed with relief. Gene gave me a relieved look, and I smiled. "As long as Eliza's okay, we're okay", Jim said. "I still think Gene is in...", Ashia started to say, but Gene interrupted her. "Okay now! You know what, I'm hungry. Let's go out and get something to eat!", Gene said. Everyone agreed and we set out.
We ate at a fast-food place nearby. Gene was very generous enough to pay the bill, but we couldn't get Ashia out of the place. I finally got her to come when I told her that I heard there was some dragonite nearby. We made our way back to Starwind & Hawkings, since it was getting dark out. Ashia started playing that dating hand-held game when we got back, and let me have a go at it. I ended up beating it 3 times and Ashia couldn't even beat it once. When it was got really dark, I told Ashia we'd better get to sleep, because we didn't want to be tired in case some enemy came along. Ashia went off to sleep in the living room while I made my way to my room. Gene stopped me as I was walking, he said he had to tell me something. "You know, in case you want to spend the night with me, I'll be glad to let you.", Gene told me. I looked at him for a minute, blushing some "Okay, I'll give it some thought, and I'll come into your room if I feel like it. Okay?", I said to Gene. Gene nodded, and went off into his room. I went into my room and threw off my cloak, hat, and my 'distracting' shoes. I layed in my bed for a brief moment, then got up to go look out my window. I looked down at the nightlife below, thinking to myself "Should I go and spend the night with Gene or not?" and it was as if my brother Tochiro was there beside me, and he was telling me "What are you crazy? Go be with him! If not, you might lose him". I smiled and whispered thanks to the air and left my room.
I made my way to Gene's room and opened it slowly, in case Gene was asleep. Gene was lying on his bed, awake, staring at the ceiling, like he was thinking about something. He looked over at me. "I got cold and I couldn't find a blanket", I lied, "so can I sleep here with you?". Gene smiled, he had used that line so many times. "Is that a fact or are you using a pick-up line on me?", Gene asked. "I'm serious, really", I lied again. Gene motioned for me to come lay with him. I went over and layed down on Gene's bed, right next to him. I looked up at the ceiling, then closed my eyes for a minute. "Now you aren't going to fall asleep with your glasses on, are you?", Gene asked me. I chuckled, not realizing I was still wearing them. I was reaching up to remove my glasses, but Gene caught my hand. "No, allow me. I want to see what your eyes look like, since you keep them hidden", Gene said to me. He reached up and removed my glasses from my face. The moon had shined a beam of light into the room, and into my face. I covered my face with my hand, then put it down, looking at Gene with my almost-dark blue eyes. "Wow, you have such pretty eyes. They almost look like mine.", Gene commented. He stroked my cheek and I smiled. He put his other hand up to my mouth. "And such tender lips I might add", Gene said with a smile. I chuckled, Gene had such a way with words. "Well they're not...", I started to say but Gene covered my mouth. "Shh, you'll destroy my moment here.", Gene told me. I rested my head down, licking Gene's bare shoulder playfully. "Hey Eliza?", Gene asked. "Yeah?", I replied. "Close your eyes a minute, I heard that if you close your eyes when the moon light shines on you, it'll bring good luck.", Gene said to me. I closed my eyes and the greatest moment of my life happened. Gene gave me a warm, tender kiss on my lips. "I love you", Gene told me in a sweet voice. I opened my eyes, blushing some at Gene's kiss. Then I grinned, feeling confident now. I rolled on top of Gene, kissing him deeply. He wrapped his arms around me, and we held the kiss for a few minutes before breaking it off. I looked into Gene's eyes and told him I loved him back. I rested my head on Gene's chest, rubbing against it a bit with my cheek as I closed my eyes. That's Round 1, I thought to myself. And then I fell into a peaceful sleep.
To be continued...
