~~~ Raye's POV ~~~
- Two Weeks And Three Days Later -
'Still hardly getting anywhere. Why is this taking so long? What am I doing wrong?'
So far, Jed and Nick have gotten along pretty well, but now they insist upon us calling them Nephrite, Zoicite, and Malachite. Jed isn't Jadeite, just Jed. And that's a problem.
"Raye, can I ask you something?" Jed asked as he caught me coming out of the kitchen.
"Shoot." I answered over my shoulder and noticed him fall into step with me, and then stop me by pulling my elbow.
"When was the last time you were decently kissed? I mean really, really kissed?"
'What kind of question was that?' I had to think a minute for that one. "The day you came here."
"Alrighty then." Jed moved in slowly, but surely. His lips caressed mine in a gentle but passionate kiss that lingered on my lips after we broke apart.
"Wow." I managed to say after a few moments. Jed was still very near to me. I could feel his warm breath on my forehead; it was unsteady and almost labored.
Mine was much faster and I was afraid that he could hear the quickening pulse on my heart. He pulled me to him and his lips claimed my own. I tried protesting by pushing against his rock solid chest, but soon gave in. 'how does he do this to me? He just has to look at me and I melt.' All thoughts after that disintegrated. My arms slowly wound themselves around his neck and my fingers entertwined themselves with his curly golden hair.
"Just like it used to be." He said before releasing me from his strong hold around my waist.
"You mean you-?"
"Remember? Yes, little by little. I didn't tell you when it started happening, because it was just feelings at first. then pictures. But everything started that night-or morning-when we kissed after arriving."
"But, I thought you never wanted to even touch me."
"Who would take a good look at you and not want to? I was just angry." And he pulled me into his warm embrace again and fondly stroked my head. "I love you."
I thought I would never hear those words come frome him again. Things had gone so slow that I thought it was foolish to hope. But now he said it. and he meant it. "I love you too." I whispered back.
I had done it. I broke through the shell and released his memories. Now we could face all the pain and torture that life would throw at us in the future. We are a team, and together we broke through.
