Chapter 4
The last few weeks were hectic. With school, christmas shopping and midterm exams I've been extremely busy. Not to mention being a good host to Legolas and my grandparents. But today was the last day of school for my christmas break and that meant no more tests and fun for three weeks.
At the moment Legolas and I were hanging up the lights outside while Mum and Dad were out christmas shopping with Nana and Pawpaw. It was almost 5 and the sun was setting in the west casting shadows every where on the ground. Thank God we had no neighbors to see me up on this ladder with a black skirt, dark blue sweater and purple tights with tennis shoes. I was freezing yes, but every time I looked at Legolas, just the sight of him warmed me all up.
"Could you hand me another nail?" I took one from him, hammered the lights in and smiled triumphantly. "It looks beautiful." We both said after I stepped off the ladder and turned the lights on. Our whole house glowed with Christmas cheer rolled up in little ice-cicle lights for $9.99. I clapped my hands together and pushed Legolas slightly.
"Lets go in, Im freezing!" I ran inside and sat down in front of the fire that was blazing in our fire place. He sat down next to me and rest on his hand. Today he was wearing a white, silver tunic, no cape and silvery white grey pants with matching boots. Nana conjoured up some extra clothes for him since he was staying for a while.
It was 6 days before christmas and I still hadnt bought him anything, but I had an idea of what I was giving him. He seemed to be pretty interested in my pictures so I was going to spend christmas eve filling up my camera with pictures, put them in a photo album made especially by me and give to me.
"Eva?" I looked up at the sound of my name and caught Legolas looking down to avoid my gaze. "yes?" "I have to leave in six days." I blinked and swallowed back a few tears.
"On Christmas?" "Yes. I am terribly sorry but your grandmother said I must leave after that day. My father is a little worried about me. Please try to understand." Legolas took my cold hand and wrapped both of his around it. I nodded and leapt forward giving him a hug. "I dont want you to leave, but I understand you have to go home.. I've had the best time with you ya know."
"Evalyn, Im not leaving now." A tear slipped down my cheek as I tried to force them back. Legolas wrapped his arms around my back and held me as I cried on his shoulder. By the time I was done crying, it was 9 oclock and we were both laying on the couch asleep. I was laying in between him and the back of the couch with his arms around me protectivly.
The clock's dinging woke me up, making me look up to see Legolas fast asleep even though his eyes were still opened. Despite what my head screamed me not to do, my heart leapt forward and caused me to wrap my arm around his stomach. I raised my head up and brushed my lips to his before laying my head against his chest to continue sleeping.
We both woke up at 12 the next morning. Although he had went to my room and I was still on the couch. Mum and Dad went to work and Nana and Pawpaw were out having lunch somewhere, leaving Legolas and I alone. "If you want, Ill make us some breakfast. Or lunch in this case." He nodded slowly almost depressed like. "Whats wrong?" I sat down next to him at the table and looked him in the eyes. "Its nothing really. Im just not feeling too good right now. If you'll excuse me, Im going to go back to your room and lay down." I watched him stand up and leave. My eyes watered but I forced the tears away as I made my breakfast/lunch.
Nana and Pawpaw returned home, but were so tired all they really did was watch TV until my parents were home. They decided to wrap some presents so I had to retire to my room, to find Legolas awake, sitting on my windowseal. "Legolas if you want to go home now, just go. I dont care. Dont stay here for me please. I know you're home sick so just go downstairs and tell Nana you want to leave!" I put my hand on my hip and pointed out the door. He didnt even turn to look at me.
After a few minutes I walked over to him, sat infront of him and wrapped his arms around me as I leaned agaisnt his chest. We both looked out the window at the evening sky thinking the same thing. Neither of us wanted to be apart from each other for a few hours, let alone be in different time periods away from each other. Legolas layed his head on my shoulder, pulling me closer to him so he could tighten his arms around my stomach.
Our feet played together as our finger entwined together. His smooth flawless skin felt so soft against mine. We stayed like that all during the night not moving to look away from anything else or not even getting up. Legolas however took me in his arms a while later and carried me to my bed, layed me down and settled in next to me under the covers. It was his turn to place his lips against my forehead this time before we both fell asleep.
