RUN TO ME

To VegaTenshi: Thanks! I hope to get a few more chapters up before bedtime tonight. Keep reading, reviewing, and enjoying!
To eyes of a child: Thank you! I have to say, I've always had trouble with run-on sentences actually, but I will try to do better. Thank you for your suggestion, and I hope you will keep reading, reviewing, and enjoying the story.
TAKE MY BREATH AWAY
The next night, Kayla was sitting at her vanity, brushing her hair with one hand, when her mother walked in and said, "He's here." Kayla looked at her mother and said, "I'll be down in a minute." Her mother nodded and left the room. Kayla looked at herself in the mirror and said nervously, "This is it," before standing up, opening her door, and walking downstairs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Travis was sitting in Kayla's living room, watching Shelby try to read a book to one of her dolls and smiled when she said, "What have I told you about sitting still? I don't do that when Kayla reads to me!" Travis shook his head and looked up in time to see Kayla coming down the stairs wearing a pair of blue jeans, a pink peasant top, and flowered sandals. "Wow," said Travis as Kayla walked over to him, "You look great." "Thanks," Kayla said, blushing. She leaned over her little sister, who was still busy with her dolls, and said, "Try giving them candy, it always worked for Mom when I was younger." She stood up again and turned to Travis. "So," Travis said nervously, "Ready to go?" Kayla nodded and said, "Let's duck out before Mom decides to get pictures." Travis smiled and grabbed Kayla's good hand, and they ran out the door together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We've escaped!" Kayla cried with joy as she ran down her driveway with Travis. When they reached Travis' car, Kayla gasped and said, "A Mustang Convertible! Where the hell did you get the money for this?" "I got it for under $1,000," Travis said, "I had to do the restoration on my own, but it was worth it, the car runs like a dream. It's a '64." "Cool," Kayla said with a smile, "So, where are we going?" "Somewhere special," Travis said, "I think you'll really enjoy it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Travis, this isn't funny anymore," Kayla said with a laugh as Travis led her, his hands over her eyes, to somewhere she couldn't see for their date, "I can't see, and I think I'm going to fall." Travis grinned and said, "Only a few more steps." He led her a few more steps forward and, taking his hands away from her eyes, finally said, "We're here." Kayla opened her eyes and found herself standing in the gazebo by the lake in the park. She looked around and saw a blanket lying on the floor of the gazebo, and on it was a picnic basket and two candles. "It's beautiful," Kayla whispered. "Why are you whispering?" Travis asked jokingly. Kayla laughed and said, "Because I don't want to spoil the magic." "So, ready to eat?" Travis asked, holding out his hand to Kayla. Kayla took his hand, and he helped her sit down before sitting down across from her. He smiled as he lit the candles with some matches he had put in his pocket before he left his house that night. Travis looked at Kayla; her form bathed in candlelight, and said, "OK, now we can eat!" and reached into the picnic basket, pulling out a few plastic boxes of food, and some forks. "Here, a feast fit for a queen," Travis said jokingly. "Which part are you joking about, the feast, or the queen?" Kayla asked with a smile. "The feast," Travis said, staring into Kayla's eyes so she knew he was serious. Kayla blushed as she began to eat. "Is this for real?" she thought as she looked out at the lake, "I hope it is." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They ate, and while they ate they talked, occasionally laughing. The laughter reached epic proportions when Travis pulled 2 slices of cherry pie out of the picnic basket and said, "To replace the one that gave its life in the battle against Kim Carlisle." Kayla was having the time of her life, and she hoped that Travis was having as much fun as she was. From the look on his face, he was, but looks can be deceiving. After they finally finished the pie and packed up the basket, Travis stood up, went over to the side of the gazebo, and pushed a button. Kayla gasped in amazement as the gazebo became softly lit with strings of lights. "When did you do this?" she asked Travis in amazement. "Right after school, before RFR," he replied as he walked over to her. He then took her hand and said, "Would you like to dance?" "I thought you'd never ask," Kayla said. Travis walked over to the left side of the gazebo and produced a CD player from under the bench. He pressed play, and Kayla's favorite song, "Take My Breath Away," by Berlin, came pouring from the speakers. Travis walked over to Kayla, and taking her hand, led her into the middle of the gazebo, and putting her arms around his neck and his arms around her waist, they began to dance their first dance together. Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
As they slowly danced, Kayla rested her head on Travis' shoulder and closed her eyes, this time not in pain, but feeling more blissful than she had ever felt before.
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid
Take my breath away Take my breath away
Travis could feel Kayla's heartbeat, beating in time with his own. "This is it," he thought, "We're together, and this is the perfect moment." He smiled and rested his head against the top of Kayla's.
Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
When the dance ended, Travis and Kayla stood there for a moment in each other's arms, not wanting it to be over but knowing it had to be. Travis was the first one to speak. "I think we should go," he said quietly, "Your dad's liable to freak out if I don't have you home soon." "Yeah," Kayla whispered, "You better get me home."
As they left the gazebo with the picnic basket, the sky opened and it began to rain. Kayla ran out into the rain and let it fall down on her. "What are you doing?" Travis said, not at all worried about the rain, just wondering what it was about the rain that made Kayla run to it that way. "When I was younger, I used to stand out in the rain whenever I had a bad day, and it always made me feel better," the now-soaked Kayla said, turning to face Travis, "But here I am, out in the rain after the best evening of my life, and I feel even more free than I do when I'm out here after a bad day." Travis smiled and said, "Well, come on. Maybe you'll be able to sneak out onto your roof later tonight." Kayla smiled at Travis and got into the car. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was still raining when they reached Kayla's house. Travis stopped the car, and he walked her to the door, and by the time they reached the porch, they were both soaked to the skin. Travis looked into Kayla's eyes and said, "This was the best night of my life." "Me too," Kayla said, "I've never had so much fun in my life." Then, in what seemed like slow motion, Kayla watched Travis lean in close to her face. She lifted her head up, and their lips met in the most perfect kiss they could have experienced. Kayla wished she could stay in the moment forever, but she knew she had to go inside, so she broke away first and said, "I better get inside. Bye." "Bye," said Travis, now as breathless as Kayla as he watched Kayla go inside. Suddenly he heard a window open and he looked up to see Kayla looking out of her window at him. Travis smiled and waved, and Kayla waved back, then went inside and shut the window. Travis walked back to his car, and as he drove away, the radio played a song which now had a whole new meaning to Travis.
