HEYYYYYYYYYYY! I'M BACK! For all of you guyz who read Lady Knight, what did you think of it? I think it was great and I'm reading it for the third time. (yes I'm obsessed.) Don't you agree there's a lack of romance? Actually, who do you think Kel should end up with? Please tell me in your 'wink' REVIEW!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuki watched, amused, as Kel stared and admired herself, awed. The girl looked almost like a princess. With hair done up with jewels and a few locks to caress her shoulders, and a completely strapless low neckline gown the lady knight could rival most of the court ladies. The dress had caused quite an uproar between Kel and Yuki. It revealed a woman's chest a lot and had a high and uncomfortable neckline. Kel finally agreed when Yuki pushed her in front of a mirror to see for herself.
The older girl suddenly brightened and said, "Earbobs!"
"Wha – No! no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Kel said, horrified.
"Fine," Yuki said, sighing, lowering her hand that held the needle. Then all of the sudden the Yamani pounced and then examined the bleeding hole in Kel's ear. "Well, what do you think? Very neat huh? Kel?"
"Hey, what, OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! YUKIMI NOH DAIOMORU I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! OWWWWWWWWW!"
The next few minutes sounded like, according to people walking outside, a brief cartoon catfight.
Time for the Ball!!!!!
"Lady Knight Sir Keladry of Mindelan!" the Herald announced. The guests at the ball turned and looked. What they found was a surprise. Is this the tomboy who had commanded Haven and Killed Blayce the Gallan? She actually looks like a lady!
Kel blushed for she knew every pair of eyes were on her. She walked down the steps and towards Raoul of Goldenlake. Raoul smiled. Kel was like a daughter to him, and he knew her well. The knight commander caught her sitting under the stars, daydreaming and muttering something about Dom.
"Gonna break a few hearts this evening, Kel, especially a blue eyed sergeant of mine?" He teased.
Kel blushed even harder. "Sir-,"
"It's Raoul," The bachelor said, "And you look very nice in that dress. I'm sure Dom would like it." And then he left to get a drink.
Dom stood, watching the jewel of the court, his jewel. He was thinking of ways to approach Kel.
"Ah, you are a true rose, beautiful and deadly-," no, he sounded like some sort of love struck poet. How about something simple.
"Would you care to dance milady?"
"You mean, me? Why of course I'd love to!" A short brunette standing behind him led him to the dance floor. Dom helplessly followed.
Kel watched helplessly as her crush flirted at a gorgeous brunette. She herself was crowded by men, most she knew from the North. A few wanted to dance, but most teased her that since she was both pretty and surrounded by men, most likely one night she would find one in her bed. All of them know I can let them get away for saying insubordinate things, she thought. Hours had already passed and she only saw glimpses of Dom. He doesn't even feel for you in the first place, so stop brooding, she told herself. The remarks the men made were getting out of hand. Kel excused herself and began to walk across the dance floor to go home. She didn't know that someone was coming her way.
Dom sighed as the 11th lady he was dancing with babbled about lip rouge. This is getting out of hand, he thought. I need to get to Kel. After the dance ended Dom briskly walked toward the dance floor to look for Kel. He ignored the other ladies that came to him. Then he suddenly froze Kel was walking towards him! Quick, he thought, make something up so I don't sound like I've been waiting for this for the last 4 years.
Oh look! There's Dom! Kel thought. Quick, make something up so I don't sound like I've been waiting for this for the last 4 years.
They both gently (but purposely) collided with each other.
"Uh, oh, hi Dom!"
"Um, Kel, hey, eh,"
"Would you like to dance?" Both said together. Unfortunately their act was not very good. They smiled sheepishly.
"You've been practicing haven't you?"
"Yeah, well, eh, so have you!"
"You do realize how silly we sound don't you?"
Dom led Kel to the center of the dance floor. The music was slow and romantic. They gazed at each other, each with a sparkle in their eyes. He feels the same way about me! Kel thought giddily. Beat after beat she felt her body closer to Dom's, his intense eyes on her's.
"Wow, Kel, has anyone told you how beautiful you are?"
Kel grinned. "Not today."
"Has anyone told you that I'm about to kiss you?"
This time the Kel met her hazel eyes with his blue ones. Dom slowly lifted her chin up and slightly lowered his head. Kel involuntarily closed her eyes as she felt his mouth gently meet her's. Their first kiss was hesitant but nice. But Kel wanted more. Dom had the same feeling. The girl wrapped her hands around the man's neck and he put his around her waist, closing the gap between them. Their kiss became more passionate, and more hard. Kel's tongue shyly opened Dom's mouth, where it was welcomed by his own. The music and dance already stopped. Everyone in the ballroom was quiet, all eyes on the couple in the center. At the corner of her eye Kel could see Lord Wyldon and Raoul smiling, Cleon of Kennan scowling, and her peers especially Owen grinning like clowns. But she didn't care. The only things on their minds were each other, their bodies, and kissing.
