Ahhh I can't believe I'm almost finished with the
first book.
Chapter Sixteen
The room was dark, and a cool breeze drifted through the open window in Siria's window. Siria pulled the covers around her trying desperately not to cry. She had waited for Jay till dusk but there was never any sign of him. Through out the day she would find Ram staring at her. Unable to bare it she went to her room.
As she continued to think of how slow the day went the door opened letting in a soft glow of light from the hallway. Siria quickly closed her eyes and played sleep. She heard movement throughout the room and finally pressure on the bed as Jay laid beside her. He turned looking at her and then kissed her forehead tenderly. With her eyes still closed she whispered, "I'm not asleep."
"I know."
Siria opened her eyes and stared at Jay, all her anger and disappointment flooded away as she stared into his brown eyes. "How was it?"
"We found a lot more refugees in the area. Most are eager to get back to the city; country life doesn't suit many."
"That includes me too." Jay smirked as he continued to hold Siria in the dark. "Tomorrow."
"Humm..."
"Tomorrow we'll have a day off; just you and me."
"That sounds so good." They looked at each other and smiled. Jay kissed Siria on her forehead as she fell asleep.
Jay stared at the ceiling. He knew he loved the girl in his arms, but he wondered about his feelings for Trudy. Part of him still felt for her. Jay sighed in confusion. Being with Siria brought alive apart of himself, something Trudy had never done.
The next morning Siria woke early to make lunch. She wanted to leave before someone got a bright idea that would make her day like the one before. As she was making the first sandwich, the door to the kitchen swung open. Assuming that it was Ruby, Siria didn't turn around. "I'm just borrowing it; I'll be out before breakfast."
Oh...I don't mind." Siria's eyes widened as the strong masculine voice began to chuckle.
"What do you want Ram?"
Ram moved across the room towards Siria. He whispered in her ear. "Nothing at all." Grabbing the sandwich she had just finish he leaned against the counter. "So...who's the picnic for?" He then took a bite, frowned and threw the sandwich down.
"That's none of your business."
"It's Jay, I've seen the signs before."
"What do you mean Ram?"
"Oh nothing, just he is definitely a sneaky one."
"'Sneaky one' yeah Ram whatever."
"Hey it's happened once."
"What's with this once business?"
"You mean he's never told you." Ram smiled. "He stole my wife, an adulterer."
"What Siva, I see no sexual tension between them."
"Not Siva, my other wife."
"You had more then one? Ram you are scandalous." She tried to appear nonchalant, but the grin on his face made her uneasy. Moving closer she could feel his breathing on her neck.
"Ebony."
Siria's eyes grew wide as Ram walked to the door. "And you two love birds have a nice trip." With that he left the room and Siria in the same position, eyes wide open.
