Hey guys! Thank you for the reviews! Please write more! It encourages me to keep on writing! Lol, but then again, this fic has only been up for a total of 23 and 45 minutes… LOL… Well, here is Chapter 2! There's some exciting stuff happening… So keep on checking back!
"If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say"

[[ Chapter 2 – Confrontation ]]
Kel strode down the hallway, counting the number of rooms left until she reached Neal's. She wasn't good at confrontations; in fact, she was completely lousy at them. She didn't know how she was going to do this. At any moment now, she would chicken out and turn back to her room. Right now, she could already feel her courage slowly dwindling away into a pool of fear and uncertainty. Feelings her lips dry, she licked them before halting in front of the door of Neal's room. What in the black god's name am I doing here? She thought. She raised her hand to knock wildly on the door. Gah! I can't do this! Her Yamani Lump side of her said. She closed her eyes hard and then opened them again, turning around to walk back. I'll just s-l-o-w-l-y walk away and no-one will be the wiser, she concluded. Unfortunately for her, she heard a voice call after her, which sounded strangely like her dear friend Neal's. Oh, gods, PLEASE let that be someone pretending to be Neal, Kel wished with all of her heart. She knew, however that this was highly unlikely.
She felt a strangely warm hand on her shoulder. "Kel! Didn't you hear me calling you from way back there?!" Neal asked. Kel slowly turned around. She could feel her heart beat suddenly quicken, which wasn't a very good sign. Try to sound natural, she casually said, "Oh, hey Neal! I didn't hear you, sorry, I was just a little out of it". Neal looked at her unbelievingly, a single eyebrow raised in question. Damn, he knows me too well, Kel cursed. It wasn't fair. It should be a crime to have such green eyes. Her best option now would be to change the subject before he could come up with any questions. "So, anyway, why are you here? I would think you'd be out with Yuki…" Kel commented, saying the first thing that came into her head. Argh! That was a stupid thing to say. Of COURSE he would be here, for mithros' sake, this is where his ROOMS ARE! She scolded herself. "Well, my beauteous Kel, this happens to be where my rooms are, in case you've forgotten. It looked like that's where you thought I'd be I'd say, since I saw you about to knock on them. Don't look at me that way, I know the 'dodging a question' tactic better than my own name" he said, since Kel had put on her most innocent look, eyes, wide and all. "Nah, I was just going to ask you whether or not you had… you had… that book you said you wanted me to read the other day!" She muttered nervously. She could feel her palms sweating, but she glanced up into his eyes to see if he had bought her story. "You're telling me that you, Keladry of Mindelan, came in the middle of a beautiful afternoon, to ask me for a philosophy book? Come on Kel, tell me the truth, I'm not an idiot. Well, actually, I am a bit of one, but you're a dreadful liar and you know it!" His voice joked, but the facial expression he had on was serious.
Kel Panicked. I should just say it. Now is my chance! Just do it Mindelan! Voiced inside her kept on ringing through her head. She exhaled and took a deep breath. Pulling him aside into a little niche she began to say what she had planned. "Okay, you want the truth neal? I'll tell you the truth…"
