Part I: A Perfect Romance (Cont.)
Maeomi's laughter could be heard throughout the entire party. She and Merry had been dancing for what seemed like hours, and as the music sped so did their hearts. Merry twirled her and tipped her and the two tried to show off for each other how quick they could do the famous dance steps. By the end of the second dance, both were out of breath. Maeomi was having so much of a rush; her hair was beginning to fall down. She excused herself from the dance floor to go cool off the fix her hair. She slipped into the small tent that was used for changing to fix her hair. She slid the pin from her hair and let it all fall down. She recoiled it around the snap and then placed it centered on her head and securely placed the pin in her hair. She bounced a few of the curls that she left down and tucked them behind her ears. She was never more anxious to get back to the party.
Maeomi's father was sitting down at a table with his old cob pipe stuck in the corner of his mouth. He wasn't alone; he had been making arrangements with Master Brandybuck for quite some time now. The two gentlemen saw a great future in the lives of their children if they were to wed. However, Sire Cretan was still concerned of his daughters intentions in life, he knew that she wasn't into the business life, and that my have put a damper on the plans they wanted to make. Merry knew his responsibilities that he would have to do when he took over the business, and Master Brandybuck was afraid that that would get in the way of his look for a acceptable wife.
"So, Cretan what do you say? You think your daughter can uphold to your half of the bargain?" Master Brandybuck was very skeptical that this marriage would work out. Sire Cretan took a few fresh puffs of his pip before answering.
"Well if Merry can choose a wife then it best is my daughter. Look at the way he's dancing about with every girl from the Shire. Maybe you should teach him a little respect towards the one he loves." Sire Cretan leaned back in his chair and turned his attention to the dance floor were Merry had been dancing with a small town Hobbit who came from the far reaches of the Shire.
"Don't get endearing with me Cretan. They are young and young means you're never truly in love. I didn't wed Mrs. Brandybuck until I was well into the prime of my life. Now, unless you've got anything to object I'm going back to my Ale and my wife." Master Brandybuck stood from the table, his walking stick made a loud clang as is hit the cobblestone floor. Sire Cretan just waved him off. Now would be the only time he would have the privacy to tell Mrs. Cretan of his new plan. He stood and went back to the table on the stage, where Mrs. Cretan was enjoying herself chatting with the other mothers.
"I must have a word with you." Sire Cretan said as he leaned over to speak in his wife's ear. She discontinued her conversation with the mother of a distance cousin and turned her attention to her husband.
"What is it dear?" She asked concerned. "I made a deal with Master Brandybuck about our daughter. It seems as though Maeomi has taken a liking to Meriadoc. I see a lot happening from their marriage." Sire Cretan said, straightening out his dress vest.
"I thought we were going to let Mae decided who she wants to marry. She'll be very unhappy to hear that you didn't keep up to your word. She looks up to and wants to please you Serence. Would you crush the wedding hopes of your youngest daughter?" Mrs. Cretan was visibly upset over the deal her husband made. The conversation was cut short, as the dinner bell rang and the hostesses began to bring out plates of pork roast to all the tables. All the Hobbits began to quickly file to tables and sit down; Maeomi rushed back to stage and took her place at the center of the table for a meal with her family.
About the time everyone was finished, the hostesses began getting glass of Ale for thoughs who needed them, and a great rumble of conversation between all the tables had been struck up. Maeomi was laughing and joking with her cousins as everyone finished up their meals. She glance out of the corner of her eye and saw Merry, who seemed to be flirting with a couple of girls who lived in Hobbiton, just down the road from Maeomi. She turned her head from the conversation and looked for herself, indeed Merry was making lovable gestures and Maeomi's heart sank into her chest. Maeomi's female cousin rolled her eyes and spoke up about her actions.
"Will you stop watching him like a hawk." Maeomi turned back to her, a little surprised at the words she used. Maeomi turned at Merry once more and then back to her cousin. She made a face as if she didn't know what Rosin was talking about.
"What are you talking about? I was just looking out into the crowd, making sure everyone was having a good time." Rosin's eyes rolled again, she wasn't buying Maeomi's story.
"Please, you're looking down on Merry flirting with those farm girls and it's killing you that you aren't standing next to him or dancing with him on the floor. Just face it, you're madly in love with a Brandybuck and you don't want to admit it." Her cousin took a sip from her water glass at the end of her long, harsh sentence.
"Ahaha! Me, in love with Meriadoc Brandybuck? Are you insane Rosin? I've known Merry since I was five. We're good friends and there is nothing more to it than that. Anyone can say what they want to say but I'm not looking for love." Maeomi said with a little chuckle in her voice. She followed her sentence with a drink from her water glass and rolled her eyes back at Rosin.
"Please, you've loved him since you were ten and he turned twelve. You made him all those birthday cards with little hearts on them because you wished he knew how much he cared. Well there's a telegram for you at the station, he's totally in love with you too!" Rosin said in a loud voice. Maeomi quickly covered her cousin mouth to keep her from shouting it out to the entire world.
"Will you be quiet! You don't have to announce it to the whole Shire." Maeomi removed her hand from Rosin's mouth and straightened out her dress a little. She had drawn a little attention to herself and Rosin took a step closer to her. She whispered into Maeomi's ear:
"Don't worry Cousin, give it time." Rosin walked past and sat down at the table with her family, including her fiancée. Maeomi shook her head and went into the kitchen, and began to help bring out plates of the food to the near tables. By the time everyone had gotten his or her food and drink, Maeomi was getting exhausted. She finally got to sit down and enjoy some tender pig roast with her family. Plates began to be cleared and Maeomi was just finishing her dinner up when the band began to play and the crowd rumbled with excitement. Hobbits began to gush onto the dance floor, including Merry and his farm girl friends.
Maeomi ignored it for the best as she could, and helped clear the plates from the deserted tables. Her mother and father had made their way onto the dance floor and were having a merry old time with each other. Maeomi began to wash some of the dishes when Merry's mother came into the washing tent.
"Hello dear, and Happy Birthday." Mrs. Brandybuck gave Maeomi a quick hug, as Mae's hands were full of soapy suds. Maeomi carried on conversation with her for a minute before she dropped a bomb on Maeomi's hopes.
"This certainly has been a wonderful party. I'm just glad we got to come and help you Cretan's celebrate another birthday. I remember Meriadoc's sixteenth birthday, it seems so strange to have him being the eldest of our boys, yet the middle child is your age darling. I'm just glad Merry has found someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with tonight." Mrs. Brandybuck smiled as she spoke; she helped Maeomi with some of the dishes that seemed to be never ending. Maeomi was a little shocked, and dropped a plate into the tub of soapy water, splashing a little on both the women.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Mrs. Brandybuck. I didn't mean to." Maeomi quickly offered Mrs. Brandybuck a towel and dampened her off with it. "It's quite alright sweetheart. I didn't mean to startle you." Maeomi smiled flakily and went back to her tub of dishes.
"So, you say that Meriadoc, I mean Merry, has found the girl he wants to wed? That's nice, I always knew he'd end up with the girl of his dreams." Mrs. Brandybuck was a little unsure of what she meant, but carried on conversation.
"Yes it is, I never thought that he would want to wed a girl from outside Hobbiton, but I guess she captured his heart tonight. You're one of his best friends Mae, I'm sure you'll be in this family for all time as well. When I married Master Brandybuck, I never thought life would turn out like this. Now you on the other hand Maeomi, you have a real chance in marrying a Hobbit of great power and wealth, you're the prettiest girl in the Shire." Mrs. Brandybuck nudged her a bit as she finished her sentence, and Maeomi giggled a little bit, but she was hurting inside due to the news of Merry's choice in brides.
Mrs. Brandybuck finished up and left the tent, leaving Maeomi alone. Her jaw almost hit the dirt floor of the washing tent, and she hurried to finish up the dishes that were in her tub. She dried her hands quickly and hurried out the tent, pushing her way through the crowds of people that were crowding around the dance floor. She stopped at its edge; there she saw Merry and a girl named Thalia dancing gracefully to a slow song, all alone on the floor. Maeomi's heart sank deeper into her stomach, and she had to fight to keep her eyes from swelling with tears.
Maeomi felt a hand on her shoulder; it was the small and petite fingers of her cousin Rosin, who gave her look of sympathy. She then felt someone take her hand and give her a sharp tug towards the dance floor. Pippin had drug her out from the crowd, and placed her hand in his and his other around her waist. She nervously put her hand up on Pippin's left shoulder and they began to dance. Maeomi strained to remember the steps and Pippin performed flawlessly. Merry was shocked at Maeomi's move, and she would shoot him hurt looks every time the couples would pass each other.
More couples got out onto the dance floor and the last song flowed out of the bands instruments flawlessly. Maeomi and Pippin bowed to each other, and Maeomi rushed off the dance floor.
"Maeomi! Wait!" Merry shouted as he hasted after her, but the crowd of people slowed him down and he lost sight of her. Maeomi ducked behind the serving tent and collapsed to her knees, hot tears were rolling down her rosy cheeks. The hustle and bustle of the party caught up with her and she stood tall, wiping the tears from her cheeks and eyes. She rubbed her cheeks to smooth out the blush she was wearing, she then stepped out from behind the tent and went back to the party. It was coming to its end and Maeomi and family stood at the exit to the park and saw everyone out. The Brandybucks passed them, but Maeomi was surprised to see Merry not leave with his family, or his alleged fiancée.
Maeomi decided to help clean up after, and ushered the rest of her family to go home without her. She wiped tables, washed dishes, swept the floor and picked up trash until she and the rest of the clean up crew could leave. She stopped for a moment and wrote down words in Elvish on a scrap piece of paper she found on a table, and put it in the pocket of her dress. Merry stood waiting at the exit of the park, and she stopped in front of him, as if she were expecting him to say something first.
"I thought I'd walk you home, it's dark out now and I don't think either of our parents want you walking home alone." Maeomi didn't speak back; she just nodded her head and started to walk with him. They talked about things that weren't important, just trying to fill time and uplift the strangeness hanging in the air between them. They stopped at Merry's doorstop, Maeomi's was only two away now and she didn't want Merry to go through the trouble of walking her down and then back.
"I just want you to know, that you'll always be my friend Maeomi. I've known you since before I was born, I think, and I never wish that you'd be mad at me." Merry said; his words flowed out like they really meant something to him.
"Why would you say that?" Maeomi asked rather coldly; Merry only had a foggy idea of why she could be angry with him, why she could have done what she did on the dance floor earlier that night.
"You don't have to be so harsh Mae, you don't even have to pretend anymore. I didn't think that me dancing with another girl would bother you so much. You've been my best friend since we were six years old. I could never replace you in my life or in my heart." Merry's words were quick and soothing to Maeomi's sore heart. She stood looking at him for a few moments, unsure if he was acknowledging her love or acknowledging his friendship with Thalia.
Maeomi had to find out, and she made a move that seemed would haunt her for the rest of her life. On the tips of her toes, Maeomi leaned up and kissed Merry on his lips. Merry was caught of guard by her act, but couldn't deny that he liked the feeling of her soft lips against his. He's heart seemed to skip a beat, but it did so also when he danced with Thalia. With no reaction back, Maeomi took a step back from him, her eyes filling with tears from shame. She opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out was gurgles.
"I'm so sorry." She said, quickly grabbing onto Merry's hand, and then rushing off the steps leading to Merry's dwelling. Merry could hear the sound of her high-heeled boots hitting the cobblestone path even when she was out of sight. He looked down into his hand; a piece of ripped paper lay in it with some form of Elvish written on it. He closed his hand around it and continued up the path to his abode and closed the door firmly behind him, with one last glance out the window.
Maeomi burst through the front door of their domicile and ran through, straight into her bedroom. She awoke her sleeping mother and father, who came knocking on her door. They were concerned about her haste in entering the manor.
"Are you alright dear?" Came the sweet voice of Mrs. Cretan through her daughter's door. "I'm fine mom, I'm just going to go to be now." Maeomi waited to hear the sound of her parent's door close, and she flopped down onto her bed and let out the largest scream ever heard into her bed's fluffiest pillow.
Merry couldn't sleep; he kept thinking about the paper that Maeomi had given him. He snuck out of his bedroom and into his father's study, where he found a translator book for the elvish language. After about an hour of translating, Merry looked down at the sentence that had formed in front of him. He used the back of the piece of paper Maeomi had written on to translate onto. The words spoke out to him:
I'll keep a part of you with me.
