Okay here it is, Chapter 2. Hope you enjoy don't forget to review
Chapter 2
Brennan met Shalimar down in the garage. She had already started the silver Tiburon. Other than her bike it was her favourite vehicle.
//She is so beautiful even though she doesn't look her best and is dying inside. I'm just glad she finally came to me.//
" So McDonalds is our destination?" asked Brennan as he got into the car and put on his seat belt.
" Well do you know of anything else that is open"
" No, not really and I'm to tired to think."
" So what were you writing in that note book when I walked in, more poetry." Shal said trying to break the silence.
"It was nothing, just some stuff that was on my mind."
" Sure and I'm a monkey's uncle." // Wow I'm joking already//
" Shal?" Brennan said kinda seriously.
" Yeah."
" You don't look like a monkey's uncle to me."
" Very funny Mulwray." Shal responded whacking his arm lightly.
" Dude watch it, im driving." He laughed.
"DUDE! Since when do you say dude." Shalimar couldn't help but laugh.
" Since im tired you got a problem with that?"
"NO!"
" Well then what?"
" I just think it's.."
" You think it's stupid and annoying."
" No I think it's cute." // Did I just say that//
//Did she just say it sounded cute.//
" Anyway, wanna tell me what you were writing, and I want the truth Bren. I can read you like a book so don't try lying."
" It's non of your stinking business" he laughed
" Oh come on Bren"
" Nope not a word is coming out of my mouth."
" Well you're no fun."
" So Shal will it be drive through or are we staying here to eat?"
" Well, I don't want to stay here but I don't want to go back to Sanctuary yet. Can we eat in the car?"
" How about I take you to this park about 10 minutes away from here, and we eat there."
" Sounds good to me."
" Alright so what do you want?"
" Big Mac combo, uh, large McFlurry, and an apple pie."
" Alright you sure you can eat all that?"
" Positive, like you said I haven't eaten all that much in the past week so I'm totally starved."
"If you say so"
Brennan drove up to the window, and ordered their food, then sped off towards the park. He was surprised at how genuinly happy Shalimar was. It was the first time he had seen her smile since Richard, and seeing her back to normal made him really happy.
" Brennan this isn't exactly a park."
" Yes it is"
" No it's a deserted piece of land with a baseball field on it."
"Hold on"
Brennan walked over to the what looked to be an announcers booth and all of a sudden , bright stadium lights went on . Shalimar was in aww about how beautiful this semi secret park was.
" Hey Bren is there a blanket in the car?"
" Yea, I think so, why?"
" So we can lay down on it and look at the stars after we eat."
" You want to look at the stars." He said surprised she didn't want to go back to Sanctuary.
" That's what I said."
Shalimar set the food on the bleachers and checked the trunk of the car to find the blanket, and there it was a blue and green checkered blanket neatly folded.
" Find it?"
" Yup"
Brennan placed the blanket on the soft grass and he, and Shalimar sat enjoying the food. When they were done they started star gazing. Brennan noticed Shal shiver.
"Hey got the chills?"
" Yeah, just a little."
" Did you want to go back to Sanctuary?"
" Nope I'm having to much fun out here with you, and the stars." She joked.
" Alright then at least wear my jacket we don't need you getting sick."
" Yes daddy," she immitated a little child and took the jacket from Brennan. " Thanks Bren"
" No problem." He said as he himself got a slight chill.
" You're cold aren't you?"
" No I'm fine"
" Sure you are." After a slight pause she continued. " Hey Bren can you do me a favour?"
" Anything"
" Will you hold me till I fall asleep?" // Did I just ask him that? Oh god I did and to think and hour ago I didn't know if I could ever move on with my life.//
// She did not just ask me to hold her. Wait yes she did. I guess I have no choice. Not that that's a bad thing.//
"Are you sure you just don't want to go back to Sanctuary?"
" Do you want to tell me what you were writing" she countered.
" No!"
" Well then there's my answer."
"Alright then come her."
Shalimar snuggled close to Brennan's warm body, and for the first time had no thoughts of Richard in her head at all. It was just her and Brennan, her Brennan. The only she could think of was their almost kiss , and how at that moment when Jesse, and Emma walked in she wanted to kill them both.
The night slowly turned into morning and Shalimar started waking up. She felt a sense of security and what was that other feeling, she thought.
//That's it happiness. Why am I so happy here lying down on the ground in a park with Brennan? Oh yeah.nevermind. I'm not fully aware of my feelings yet. I just lost Richard. I think I need to talk to Adam .//
" Hey sleepy head" she whispered as Brennan started to wake up.
" Uhh" was all Bren could manage.
" Sleep well?" she asked smirking at him.
" Considering I'm on the ground, yeah. How about you?"
// If he only knew how well I slept.// " Yeah I slept fine."
" We better get back to Sanctuary before Emma and Jesse wake up."
" Yeah I no I just like it our here, it's so peaceful."
// Going back to Sanctuary will only give me more time to think about Richard. Why does his death feel more distant and less painful now? Last night I was greieving like a 3 year old that lost her puppy.//
Brennan helped Shal up and grabbed the blanket.
// God she is so beautiful in the morning, I can't believe I got the chance to wake up next to her. I hope she feels better now. Considering I took her to my little place that no one, not even Adam knows about.//
" Well let's go home." Brennan said as he started the car.
" Lead the way" she joked.
(9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary)
Emma had woken up an hour ago, and decided to take a shower than go talk to Jesse.
(Jesse's Room)
Jesse had woken up about 15 minutes ago, and figured he should go find Emma, and talk since he did promise her he would. Not to mention he liked their conversations, they were so, insightlful.
(Emma's Room)
Emma heard a knock at the door. She walked out of her bathroom and opened the doors.
"Hey" Jesse greeted.
" Hey yourself" Emma replied in return."
" Did you want to go out for breakfast cause there's nothing left in this place." Jesse asked.
" Who said I wanted breakfast Jess?" stated Emma.
" Well I'm hungry and you want to so I thought it was a good idea." Replied Jesse.
" I was only kidding Jesse."
" I know. Should we ask Shal, and Bren if they want us to get them something?"
" Nah, Brennan is most likely not up yet, and I don't think we should bug Shal."
"Alright let's go."
