~~ 'Wow he looks so handsome.' I thought walking up to Vash, who was
wearing a suit. He grabbed my hand and spun me around.
"I like your dress Meryl." He said smiling his goofy smile. Then he stopped and frowned. "You remember why I asked you here?"
"Yes you needed to talk to me." I answered. He pulled out my chair at the fancy restaurant table and I sat down.
'I wonder if it's going to be bad.' I thought. He then took a seat next to me.
"Well now that we're alone.you know all the stuff that's gone on lately.right?" He said. I nodded, remembering yesterday when Vash had to kill his only brother to save the world.
"Legato, his gang.and your brother." I stopped realizing that the fact that he had indeed murdered his brother must still hurt inside of him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring him up."
He looked down, then back up at me smiling.
"It's ok.I had to do it. Otherwise the world would have been destroyed, and you would have been gone." He said. I blushed deeply and looked up at him to find his goofy smile faded and a more serious one grown.
He stared at me for a bit and we both looked into each other's eyes. It seemed like forever we sat looking deep inside one another. I felt as though I were drowning in those ocean blue eyes that resembled pools of comfort.
I looked closer leaning a little and noticed that in his eyes, it looked as if waves were rocking back and forth ever so slowly. I wondered what he was thinking. Then he stood up and held out his hand.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked me.
"Ok." I simply said. I took his hand and he gracefully swept me across the floor into the middle of the room. Others were dancing to but it was as if they didn't exist. As if it were only Vash and I dancing with the stars.
We went on forever and the hours rolled by. We did nothing but stare into each other's eyes and move with our hearts. I felt I was on cloud nine and wondered again if Vash felt the same.
I didn't want the night to end but unfortunately the restaurant closed at eleven. Vash and I stopped dancing and I stood there nearly paralyzed and glued to the floor. I felt so comfortable in his arms.
But soon enough we both let go and were rushed out of the joint by the tiny but very persuasive owner and laughed on our journey back to the hotel. As we walked silently I remembered that he had invited me to the restaurant to tell me something but never finished. I looked up at his tall figure.
"Vash?" I asked. He looked down at me smiling.
"Yes?" he said. His serious smile had disappeared just as quickly as it came and was replaced with his same old goofy smile. I loved it.
"Well, I was just thinking, when you invited me to go out, you said you needed to talk to me. You never really finished what you were going to tell me..." I started. He interrupted me.
"I changed my mind about telling you what I wanted. It wasn't really that important anyways." He said. I decided not to pry so I just kept walking without a sound. Suddenly I felt something touching the tips of my fingers and then realized that my whole hand was engulfed in warmth.
I looked down only to see that Vash's hand had found its way to mine. I smiled and squeezed his hand as if saying, "I'm the happiest woman alive right now." He looked at me and smiled then squeezed back as if to say, "And I'm the happiest man alive."
Soon enough we reached the hotel and walked up to our rooms, still holding on to each other's hands, as if the end of the world were coming and we couldn't lose each other.
Since our rooms were right next to each other it wasn't too hard for us to say goodnight. Though it seemed like it. We stopped in the hallway a little closer to my door and I turned to him.
"I had a great night tonight." He said, "But I'm sorry I didn't finish what I was going to tell you. I just honestly didn't think it was important enough to talk about tonight."
"It's ok.I understand that," I said looking into his eyes again. "The thing I don't understand is what happened tonight."
"What do you mean?" he asked curiously.
"I mean what's going on with us?" I asked again.
"Us?" He said making a face.
"Well, I guess I'm trying to say, is there really anything there for us?" I said. I looked down then back up at him and we stood there for what seemed like an eternity. Finally he did something that confused me even more.
He pulled my body closer to him until my face was right in his and his arm was around my waist. He was so close I could feel his warm breath touching my cheeks as he just stood for a moment gazing into my eyes, as if he could find the answer to the question I asked him somewhere in them.
Then he leaned forward the best he could and his soft lips touched mine. I closed my eyes and fell into the kiss feeling my body turn to jelly and my legs become weak. I felt my cheeks burning with embarrassment but also pleasure. Then it was over and he backed up a little to look at me.
"Goodnight." He said smiling. I blushed again at his smile and bid him goodnight as well. He hugged me and waved slightly as he walked into his room. I smiled then squealing I fluttered into my room. I still wasn't sure if the kiss meant anything or not but I knew I liked it!
I went to my suitcase and started to change as Millie then awoke and turned on the light.
"Meryl! You're here finally! Tell me how it went! What happened?" She started sitting up in bed. I sighed and changed then climbed into bed and told her the story and after about two hours of talking we both finally drifted off. During the night I awoke to go to the restroom and heard sobbing.
I looked over to see if it was Millie but then realized it wasn't. I was actually coming from the room next to ours. I pressed my ear upon the wall and listened closely to hear if anything had happened and noticed that I recognized who it was. The sobs were coming from Vash's room.
I quickly got out of bed, put on a robe and walked out and over to Vash's room. I could still hear crying from behind his door. As soon as I knocked the crying stopped and I heard someone shuffling around and sniffing. The door opened.
"Hi Vash." I said, "Is everything ok?" He looked at me for a minute then offered me in. I accepted then took a seat on a chair next to his bed.
"I heard you crying.I didn't know what to think so I came over to make sure you weren't hurt. Is something bothering you?" I asked. As he shut the door he turned around and looked at me. I looked around nervously.
"Do you want me to leave?" I asked. He walked over and lay down on his bed and looked up at me with big puppy dog eyes.
"I don't want you to leave.I'd like the company right now." He said. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I then cleared my throat at the awkward silence.
"So again, why were you crying?" I asked. He gazed at me and his eyes seemed darker of a blue then usual.
"I was just thinking about something.that's all. No big deal." He said. I sighed and looked away with a hurt face. I didn't like it that he wouldn't confide in me. Soon I felt his hand touch mine and looked to see him smiling at me.
"Sorry that I'm not talking about it.I just don't want to cry in front of you." He said. I smiled back.
"Well, ok. I guess I could understand that." I said. He sat up with his back resting against the backboard of his bed. I blushed a bit being he was shirtless. Though I didn't really mind. 'He looks pretty good actually.I wonder what he looks like without.' I then mentally slapped myself for even thinking that. How could I put such dirty thoughts into my mind like that?
"Are you ok?" asked Vash. I looked up at him quickly.
"Yea, why wouldn't I be?" I asked.
"Well you were frowning and muttering." He said.
"Oh, well I was just thinking. Sorry. I think I'm just going to go now. I need to sleep anyways." I said as I quickly stood up. Vash started to say something as I began to walk away but as soon as I took my first step I tripped over something and landed right on top of Vash, in his bed!
He caught me in his arms as I landed and prevented me from rolling off the other side. Though I was greatfull I was still a bit embarrassed. I blushed like there was no tomorrow and he just smiled at me.
"I was going to ask you if you wanted to sleep in here tonight with me. Can I take this as a yes?" He said still holding me. I nodded and he let me up to take my robe off. He scooted over making a spot for me and I just stood there still stunned by what was going on.
"Are you going to take that off?" He asked pointing. I nodded and felt I was just swimming in embarrassment again. I knew it would be kind of weird, I was only wearing a cameo and underwear, but I guess not that bad. He was only in boxers.
Big difference.
I bit my bottom lip and took off my robe expecting him to snicker but he just sat there smiling. I set my robe on the chair and climbed into the bed with him. When we were both settled he turned the lights out and wrapped his arms around me.
I was a little alarmed at first but I eased up a bit and actually felt pretty safe. I let my head rest upon his chest and soon fell asleep.
When I woke in the morning I felt around the bed for Vash to find that he was not there. Not alarmed I got up, putting my robe on and looked around for him. Noticing he wasn't anywhere in the room I then saw a piece of paper on the desk. Picking it up I read slowly, for it was from Vash and I didn't want to miss a word:
Dear Insurance Girls,
I'm sorry but this time I don't know if I'm gone for good. I need to
get away for a while to think about things. You may think I've been
acting weird lately, and I have but I cannot reveal why. I'm sorry,
but if we never meet again, I love you both. Take care girls, and be
careful. I'm not going to be around for quite a while, and I know that
you have a lot of unanswered questions. Especially you Meryl.
Unfortunately I cannot answer these questions until I figure some
things out for myself.
Vash the Stampede
Suddenly I let out a loud cry and fell to the floor dropping the paper. Tears welled up in my eyes falling to he floor at a vast pace. 'How could he do this to me?' I thought, 'It just isn't fair! Why did he leave me like this?'
I hadn't noticed until Millie came in that I was actually shouting those comments. She ran to my side asking what happened, so I handed her the paper. After a few minutes, my cries had calmed a bit and I just sat sniffling. Millie just stared at the paper as if she were trying force it into flames.
"Why did he leave Millie?" I asked.
"I don't know Meryl." She said, "Meryl? Meryl? Meryl! ~~
"Hmm?" I said waking up. I looked up to see Millie looking at me with wide eyes. "What?"
"Are you ok Meryl? That must have been one dream you had. You were crying in your sleep."
"Oh, uh yea. Crazy dream." I said trying to avoid the subject. "Millie what time is it?"
"Oh it's about noon." She said looking at her watch. She then smiled. "You overslept!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok people, I decided to stop after the dream. Though my story kind of seems stupid so far oh well to bad so sad. My next chapter will be posted soon. I'm sure some people out there like it. I really would like to know what you think though even if you hate it. Please? R&R Also if you would like to read another story by me that's finished, look up Perfect Fan in the DragonballZ section. It's good from what I hear.Thanks. -Brittany
