Breakfast for 2 and a Cat
Chapter 5
Tossing and turning sleep was an unattainable goal for Sarah. Every time she attempted to close her eyes she would see those flames and she could swear she heard that scream. That cry into the night that had stayed with her for 10 years. If only she had been there for him. To swoop him up in her arms and carry him out of that inferno. Scorching tears began to fall from her eyes. By 4:00 AM she had cried her self to an unrestful sleep filled with that arrogant laugh.
She woke to no alarm clock but a scent that had drifted into her nightmare. A fragrance of sweet Gardenias and Jasmine of such strength she had never smelled before. Opening her red puffy eyes she took in her surroundings. Yes, she was still in her apartment but it had been transformed into a forest of perfumed bouquets. She climbed out from her warm bed and walked to a rather ornate collection of peach and yellow roses. Leaning down to smell the blooms a card caught her eyes. Pulling the tag out of it's hidden location behind the Camellias she was almost brought to tears. "Peach is for peace and yellow for friendship. Both of these things I hope to bring in your life. Love, Jareth". No formal titles or coldness, just kindness. Soft tears began to trickle down her porcelain skin.
"I hope you like the assortment. They're all from my private gardens." That British accent was back. Turning around to face the source of the note her eyes fell upon a relaxed Goblin King. Sitting upon her window seat, she couldn't help but notice, in black tights and a white poets shirt. Tucked under his arm was a purring Calico cat.
"Sprinkles, you traitor!" Sarah said, half laughing.
"He seems to have taken quite a liking to me."
His smile was locked on Sarah who began to approach him with a sweet voice, "Thank you Goblin King, they are all quite lovely."
Half surprised by her good mood and well tempered behavior he went on, "So formal with my name? I do believe that if you've forgotten it, it's on that card."
Before she could get some smart-ass retort out he rolled a crystal over to a corner of her apartment. Upon impact a quite charming little table appeared with breakfast for two and a kitty bowl.
"Shall we?" She couldn't refuse such a thoughtful invitation. "Let me just jump into some clothes real fast."
She began to walk over to a dresser when she heard that British accent again, "You look fine to me." Sighing Sarah wasn't really in a mood to be flattered, "Thank you but-" Mid sentence she caught a glimpse of her self in the mirror. Fully dressed in fashionable black dress pants and dark red top that complimented her black hair, which he had in an elegant up do.
"Well, lets eat." Is all he said as he pulled out Sarah's chair motioning for her to sit. "Thank you…Jareth." He smiled at the use of his name.
