Chapter 22: The Gift Of Love
Shalimar pulled Brennan to a stop in front of his door causing him to look at her. She was looking at him in a way he had never scene before but he liked it. "What?" Brennan questioned.
"I love you," Shalimar blurted out.
Brennan smiled and leaned down closer to her, "I love you too." He whispered before setting a very passionate kiss on Shalimar's lips, pushing his tongue deep into her mouth as she did hers.
Shalimar pulled Brennan into a deeper kiss if it could get any deeper, and Brennan fumbled for the doorknob, "we…have…three…hours," he said pulling in and out of the kiss.
"Good for me," Shalimar said pushing her way into his room.
The room was dark as Brennan shut the door behind them, walking in front of Shalimar as she walked backwards towards the bed continuing they're never ending kiss. He laid her down on the bed hovering over her beautiful form kissing her neck and lips gently. Knowing in their hearts that they would be together forever.
Three Months Later
Brennan felt warm, the sun was shining on him and the sand beneath him was soft. A pair of sunglasses over his eyes he just laid there on the beach. He heard some one run over to him, but never once opened his eyes. He soon felt water dripping on his bare chest, causing to look at the body hovering over him.
Shalimar smiled down at Brennan, her hair-ringing wet from the swim she just took.
"Hey," Brennan propped himself on his elbows and lifted his sunglasses on top of his head.
"Hey yourself," Shalimar grinned standing over him.
Brennan couldn't resist but look Shalimar up and down, but Shalimar noticed his eye movements and gave him an unimpressed expression. Brennan saw her hands place on her hips and he quickly looked up making eye contact.
"What?" Brennan asked innocently.
Shalimar shook her head, "so you like my bikini?"
Brennan gave a sly smile and gave Shalimar another quick look, "ahh…? I'm not sure if I should answer that," he actually really loved her black bikini a lot, but thought it would be fun to tease her about it.
"OH really?" Shalimar bit her bottom lip as she knelt down beside him.
"Yup, I really don't feel like getting my ass kicked either way," Brennan defending himself.
"Hmmm…I guess that's a good answer," Shalimar said as Brennan finally brought himself up into a sitting position to be closer to Shalimar. Shalimar moved in closer to him with her lips inches from his. Personally she enjoyed taunting him by coming so close but never meeting her lips with his.
"I like your shorts," Shalimar whispered to him, seeing that they were baby blue.
Brennan looked down and blushed seeing his unmanly color shorts, "gee thanks."
"No prob," Shalimar gave him a small grin and kissed Brennan lightly.
As she kissed him she slowly moved a hand up grabbing Brennan's sunglasses as she broke away. She jumped up and backed away from him quickly giving him a devilish grin. Shalimar examined the sunglasses like she'd never seen anything like it before as Brennan stood up. "Hey those are mine!" Brennan said walking over to her.
Shalimar slid them over her eyes, "not anymore," then took off running laughing.
"Hey come back with those!" Brennan yelled with a smile across his face as he began running after her.
"You'll have to catch me first!" Shalimar yelled over her shoulder slowing her pace slightly so Brennan could catch up.
Brennan got close enough to lunge himself at her. Shalimar was surprised as Brennan took her down. "Got ya," he smiled, sitting up on his knees straddled over Shalimar's body looking down at her.
Shalimar began to laugh uncontrollably when Brennan quickly started tickling her sides. "Brennan…stop…." Shalimar begged.
Brennan was enjoying tickling her, just watching her squirm trying to get away from him made himself laugh. He finally stopped when he saw tears running down the side of her cheeks from laughing to hard. Shalimar was heaving under Brennan looking up at him, taking in deep breaths to calm herself down.
"That was not nice," Shalimar finally told him after getting herself under control.
Brennan looked at her innocently, "what do you mean?"
She raised her eyebrow under the sunglasses. "Oh…you're hopeless."
"I already knew that," Brennan smiled sweetly at her.
Shalimar couldn't resist his smile and reached up pulling Brennan's lips down to meet her. He braced his arms on either side of her shoulders so he wasn't laying directly on her. Brennan pulled away, Shalimar tried to follow him so she could capture his lips once again.
"Have I told you I love you?" Brennan told her.
Shalimar grinned, "once or twice."
"Good," Brennan said playing along, standing up. He held out his hand for her to take, "come on. Let's go for a walk."
"Alright," Shalimar grasped his hand and stood up.
They began walking off when Shalimar slipped off Brennan's sunglasses handing them over to him. "Here you go," she said holding them out in front of him.
Brennan looked down at her "na, you keep them."
Shalimar was surprised, those were his favorite sunglasses he would usually kill anyone that dared to touch them. "Huh?" she was a little confused.
"I said you can keep them," Brennan repeated.
"But they're you favorite," Shalimar said taking a glance at him as they continued to walk.
"I know and I want you to have them," Brennan smiled swinging Shalimar's arm in a playful manner.
Shalimar slipped them on and walked with him along the edge of the beach. The waves splashing up against their feet, just walking hand in hand while the sun slowly set behind them. Making it their own silent romantic paradise.
