Chapter 17
(Sanctuary - Next Morning)
(Shalimar's Room)
He watched her sleep, so peaceful, and calm yet so beautiful. She started to wake up, without thinking about what he was doing he traced her face with his thumb and gave her a sweet good morning kiss.
She awoke with a start thinking that Richard had come in to wake her for a meeting she didn't want to go to. She didn't know why but she melted into his kiss, and put her arm around his neck to bring them closer. She tried but she just couldn't help but melt furth and further into his kiss. It was strange, he kissed like Brennan with such passion, and lust yet so sensual, and gentle. Then it hit her, and her eyes snapped open, and she pulled back to look at the person who had given the greatest thing she had ever w oken up to ever.
"What's wrong were you expecting someone else, Richard?" Brennan asked as he looked down scared at what she might say.
"Brennan." She whispered wanting that moment to be real and another one of her dreams.
"I think that's my name but.." she cut him off with a mind blowing kiss of her own.
"Tell me this isn't a dream." Shal said as she pulled out of their kiss to catch her breathe.
"It's not a dream. So you weren't expecting someone else?"
Shalimar more or less grabbed Brennan and held him so tight that he had trouble breathing.
"I missed you so much Bren." Shal cries into his chest.
"I missed you too more than you could ever believe."
Shalimar pulled back a little so she could look at his face. Then she kissed him again, she just couldn't get enough of him. She touched his side, she felt him flinch and pull away quickly.
"I'm sorry I though that.." he didn't let her finish what she was going to say.
"No I do, I'm just still a little sore that's all." Brennan lifted up his shirt to show her why he pulled away.
"Oh my god Brennan are you okay, how did this happen, and who did this to you."
"I'll explain everything later but right now it's early and I need get going."
"What do mean get going, you're finally home where you belong with me. Mulwray you're staying right here."
"Shal I can't it's safe for me to stay, I'll promise I'll explain everything a little later on."
"Bren it's only four thirty in the morning, and like I said before this is your home or have you forgotten or worse do you have some girlfriend on the side you need to get back to before she finds you're gone?" Shalimar seen look he gave her, and so she decided to take another approach.
"Just stay until I fall asleep then." She flashed him one of her amazing smiles knowing he couldn't resist. It was weired but it felt as though they had never been apart.
"Alright if you insist, just let me put my shirt back on." Before he could grab his shirt Shalimar through it across the room so he oculdn't get it.
"Just sleep." She told him before they both got into a more comfortable position on her bed.
Once they were comfortable, Brennan decided he need to clearify something.
"Oh and Shal there could never be anyone else not even on the side because no one could ever, and I mean ever compare to you." Shalimar eyes got all teary but Brennan couldn't see that because her eyes were closed, and her head was on his chest, but somehow he knew.
"Shal sweetie what's wrong, did I do osmething?"
"No I'm just so glad you're home, that you came back to me."
(3 hours later)
Shalimar woke up, and had the best feeling. It wasn't a dream he had come back to her. The one problem how would Richard take it. Then she realised that she was laying in her bed all alone. Brennan was nowhere to be found, it was just a dream after all.
//Figures it was dream. I don't deserve him anyway.//
"Yes you do now get up before Adam does." Emma told her best friend as she walked into her room, and handed her a letter.
"It came in the mail for you this morning."
"Emma what's going on, first I wake up early this morning and Brennan was laying next to me, and then I fall back asleep and wake up only to find that I was dreaming. Now you hand me this letter that I was not expecting, and don't tell me it'd from my dad because I'm supposed to call him tomorrow afternoon. This day just keeps getting weirder by the minute."
"Just open it, and don't say anything to Adam or Richard it's important they don't know I gave this to you."
"Emma what's wih the code talk, and fill me in on what's going on. You've been acting different ever since you got back from Alaska, Jesse too. Did something happen?"
"Just read and don't talk to anyone about it." Emma told Shalimar seriosly, and making it known that she was being serious and not just joking.
"Okay." With that said from Shalimar, Emma walked out content that the nightmare they were all tapped in was finally coming to an end.
As soon as Emma closed the door to her room Shalimar ripped open the letter, and began to read.
Dear Shalimar
Be at the park at Main, and University tonight at 9. I'm pretty sure you know which one I'm talking about. Till then XOXO, I love you Shal never forget that.
Shalimar folded that paper back up. What was Richard up too, he didn't even sign his name. Then she though for a minute, the part at Main, and University.
//How could he know about that park. He couldn't I never told anyone, not even Emma. That was Brennan park, our special place, the place we could go to get away from it all. I would never tell anyone about that park even if my life depended on it. So what the hell is going on? I better get some damn answers soon.//
(Sanctuary - Garden)
It had been a long day of pondering, and thinking. Christmas was two days away, and everyone in Sanctuary was happy except for Shalimar. Emma and Jesse had each other, and Adam had his work, she was left alone.
Shalimar sat by the pond thinking about nothing in particular. All of a sudden she felt someone wrap their amrs around her waist. She jumped slightly not knowing at first who it was.
"Sorry I thought you knew I was here."
"Actually I didn't I was to caught up in my thoughts."
"Thinking again, huh?"
"You say that like it's a bad thing." Shal said as she turned around in his arms to look him. Richard was amazed that Shal was letting him hold her so close.
"No not bad, it's just that'a all you seem to be doing lately. You haven't been outside of Sanctuary in awhile, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, and I know I just don't have a reaon to." Shalimar was suddenly reminded of the letter, and checked her watch to what time it was.
"Going somewhere?"
"No, I was just checking to see how long I've been sitting here." Shal told him smiling.
"Okay then, do you want to go out for dinner?" Richard asked as he let go of Shal.
"I guess dinner sounds good." Shal replied noting that it was only 5 o'clock.
"Great, so meet you in the garage in about 20 minutes."
"Make it fifteen, and I'm all yours."
"Alright then, garage 15 minutes." With that said Shalimar and Richard headed their separate ways to get ready.
On the way to her room Shalimar ran into Emma who had been looking for her.
"Hey Shal dinner is almost ready."
"Um, I'm going out to get something to eat with Richard."
"Oh, alright well see ya later." Emma tried to sound happy but she didn't know if Shal bought it.
(Garage - 15 minutes later)
"So you wanna take the Tiburon?" Richard asked as Shal walked into the garage wearing her favourite black pants that she normally wore when she was going out for a ride on her bike. Of course to match her pants she had her leather jacket on, with Brennan's brown Camero shirt on underneath.
"Sure, I really don't care as long as I get food. Did you tell Adam we were going out?"
"Yup." Richard replied as he opened Shal's door for her.
(On the road)
"So where are we going?" Shalimar asked.
"Uh, I was thinking something simple like McDonalds if that's okay with you."
"Sure that's fine with me."
About 5 minutes later Richard pulled into the parking lot, and Shal wished she never agreed to go out for dinner.
"What's wrong?" Richard asked noticing that Shalimar's expression changed drastically.
"Nothing let's just eat."
