** Wow its soo late please excuse this chapter if its incoherent and just
me babbling on…like now. Where's a Starbucks caramel thingy when you need
it**
"Hunter?" I asked.
"Yes, love?" He asked me back.
"I'm going with you."
"Going with me where? To the market, cause I'll just be a minu…" I cut him off suddenly.
"No Hunter! I'm going with you for the summer."
"What? Your parents agreed?"
"Well, yes... I mean no." I stumbled to find the right words. "Umm Hunter something happened, something I can't talk about just yet." Hunter looked a little hurt, but I couldn't tell him the truth… not yet. "But I will, when I'm ready."
"That's fine love, but are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you wouldn't prefer top go back and talk things out?"
"No!" I practically screamed.
"Goddess! Okay I get the point!" He teased.
He leaned over the table and gave me a kiss, I felt my cheeks flush, and yet I had no idea why. Suddenly I began to think about what we were going to do over the summer, where we would go. The suddenly out of the blue a stray not so happy thought crossed my mind. What about my parents, are they worried? No! I yelled at my self. I can't think about this stuff! I'm going to be with Hunter and that's what's important to me. He's my mùirn beatha dán and I loved him.
"Hunter?" I asked again.
"Yes?"
"How would you like to do something fun and romantic we've never done together?"
He raised his eyebrows. Little did he know I was not talking about anything that involved taking off clothes, it actually involved putting on more that usual for this time of year.
"Hunter", I taunted. "Not that kind of different." I said laughing.
"I meant ice skating."
He looked at me oddly.
"Morgan, love, its June. All the ice is melted." I looked at him with an exasperated look and laughed.
"Its not in the covered rink."
Ten minutes later we were on way. It sucked that I couldn't get my own skates, but I couldn't risk going home. We pulled into the rink's parking lot. I wonder if Hunter ever had a chance to do fun things like this when he was a kid. I mean his life must have been so demanding, I wonder if he ever had time to play and act like a "real" kid. Well, I guess I didn't have to think about these things anymore, we made our way inside and a cold blast of air hit my face. I shivered, this wasn't nearly as cold as the real winters in Widow's Vale but it's damn close! And then again as if he had read my mind, Hunter put his arm around me.
I laced up my skates and so did Hunter. Then we made our way onto the ice.
The answer to my question was right in my face. I looked at Hunter and we both fell on our butts. I burst out laughing.
"There goes my gold medal!"
Hunter laughed in his deep rich voice, goddess I wish I could hear that more often.
"I'm no shoe in either." He laughed.
After that we took each other's hands and skated slowly around the rink. Since it was pretty early on a Saturday not many other people were there. Hunter skated closer to me.
"Hunter you know I love you right?"
" Yes, and I love you too!"
"Good! And I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for any trouble or distress I have caused you," I said looking longingly into his eyes.
"Morgan, you are no such thing you have brought me nothing but joy since the first time I met you… wait I take that back. As I remember it you chucked, what was it..Ahh yeas an athame into my neck."
I cringed at the memory.
"Lets not go down that memory lane okay?"
We both laughed and went silent. We continued skating. I thought it felt rather trivial circling that rink over and over again, like a trained animal in a zoo, but then a strange wave of security and awareness washed over me. I didn't care about anything at all, but I knew that whatever challenges I would face in my future would be good for me and that somehow, over time Hunter and I would be together forever…
And I knew my summer would be perfect. Well almost.
