To all of my loyal readers, thank you for waiting so long! I'm afraid that I have horrible writer's block on some of my stories, but since I had this written down, I decided to type it. However, I might completely redo this chapter and the next few. I wrote this story last year, and since then, my writing has improved tremendously, just look at some of my latest work! Anyway, thanks to yumeusa for inspiring me again, though I fear it has been a month since she did so. For all of you, I give you chapter three of Dreaming of You...

"You mean that you are in love with him!" Sarah exclaimed when Rini was done, "Hush Sarah, you are right." In a hushed voice, Rini's friend commented, "Now I understand what you said about him not being the dating type." Her cheeks flushed, oh how immature was she to think that he still loved her? If he ever did, "Lady Sarah, your mother bids that you come home." A servant said, and Sarah waved good-bye to Rini. At the same that Sarah left, so did her mother, leaving her alone with Elios. She had waited so long for some sign of him, and now that he was here... Rini wondered whether he had ever thought of her, "I should really get going, school and all..." She stood and walked to the door, grabbing her keys as she went. Her fingers white from stress, she turned the doorknob, knowing that at every second, the man that she had loved for five years was looking at her, probably very confusedly. She stepped outside, but felt fingers tighten around her wrist, "Wait, we need to talk, I am sorry that I make you so uncomfortable."

"I really need to..."

"Your classes can wait, this is more important to me, and maybe to you." Rini couldn't stand it, just watching Elios' gentle eyes, when all that she wanted to do was throw her arms around him and pour her heart out. She had to be sensible, "It's not you, well it is and it isn't, but I just need to go, or else I might do something that I regret. I'll just tell you that I missed you a lot." Rini focused on the door or the porch or whatever else would keep her eyes from straying to Elios. It was no use, and she found herself lost in that golden gaze of his, "That is why we need to talk, because I think that there are some things that I may have left unclarified the last time we saw each other." He was getting way to close to her questions that she had pondered a thousand times before sleep set in with the nightmares, "Elios... Please, just don't go there."

Elios hated causing her pain, but it was necessary, "Rini, this is important!" He wouldn't let her go until they both had the answers to their questions. Still, she turned in an attempt to leave. Elios did the only thing that he knew would stop her in her tracks; he kissed her, inhaling the scent of roses as he did so, "Elios, I just have to go..." Rini looked confused as she turned and ran, "You know why she ran, do you not?" Elios whirled around, "King Endymion!"

"She ran because she thought that you were dead, then you came back to life, just as she wished, and then you kissed her, just like she wanted. She loves you Elios, that is why she ran."

"Should you really be telling me this?"

"Were you anyone else, I wouldn't even give you the time of day. That you are inexplicably tied to my daughter's destiny is only one part of it. The other is that I know you better than I know any of the other boys at her school." Elios didn't know what to say to that, "Would you kill me if I said that I..."

"You will ruin it if you tell anyone besides her first, now go to your task, for it will be tedious." His hopeful smile set into an unhappy frown, "Yes, the dream world... how bad is it?"

"Bad."

Oh man, I just realized how horrible I've been, I found this all typed and ready to go, and I didn't even bother to put it up for you guys! Maybe I was waiting for more reviews... to Mangakachan, I love your story! I hope that you catch the update of this since it is on your favorites list!
