***A FEW DAYS LATER***
Kel wolfed down her breakfast of eggs and toast and downed her orange juice in one gulp. Today was the day Cleon was going to come back! Her friends gave her occasional odd glances, but all knew the reason behind it. All of a sudden, she felt a pair of calloused, yet warm, hands around her eyes.
"Guess who, my sunshine," A good-natured voice asked teasingly.
"CLEON!!!" Kel yelled in mock-anger before swinging around on the bench and giving him a big hug.
Noticing that they were starting to attract attention, Kel took one of Cleon's big hands and led him outside to the gardens.
"I've missed you so much!" Kel told him with a fake whine, "And is too much time with those Scanrans ruining your poeticness???" She demanded.
"Calm down, my soft cloud from heaven," he replied, backing up in pretend intimidatedness *a/n huh?*. "It's just been so hectic up there that I couldn't come back."
"It's ok," Kel said, noticing that he was turning a little sheepish. "I know duties are duties."
Slowly, Cleon turned her around to face him and kissed her softly on the lips. "I love you, Kel." He whispered.
A round of cheers exploded behind them. "Go you big carrot-head!" cried Neal.
The couple spun around to the grins of their friends. "Well, is this a big show or something!??!" sputtered Kel, who was now as red as Cleon's hair.
***********************
Later, as Kel snuggled up to her covers at bed-time, she found that she was very confused. When Cleon had kissed her, she had noticed that she no longer had that passion that had been there before. *No, it can't be. I still love him. We just need some time, that's all* she thought determinedly to herself. *Oh really . . . * another part of her brain answered, forming an image of the person who was sleeping two doors away from her. *SHUT UP!!!* Kel retorted inwardly, yet she couldn't help feeling a little perplexed inside.
A/N Continue??? School almost starting!!! *GASP* o no, o well . . .
