Chapter 5: Kissing Fate
As they walked hand-in-hand down the dirt path, Lilly noticed it was getting late. As they wandered past the cornfields, and as the sun set, she also noticed something unusual that she had not spotted before: her feet. They were just like in the book! Hobbit feet! She shared this with Frodo.
"Oh, we all have feet like that," he clearly stated, hoping she wasn't upset.
"Don't worry, I think it's cool, I just hadn't noticed it up until now. And by the way, where I come from, it's good luck to kiss the person you're with at sunset on your birthday." Lilly slyly commented.
If Frodo was taken aback by this statement, he did not show it...he took this picturesque moment to lean over and gently caress her lips. Her response was warm, and a half hour later, they decided it was time to go back...the others might be worried.
Lilly was thinking to herself, "God, if he kisses that way all the time, why the hell doesn't he have a girl already? Oh man, do I have some stories to go home with now! Wow, I wonder if we could do that more often. And where on earth am I gonna stay tonight? And one last thing...I want to take this man HOME!!!"
In Frodo's mind, he was having a similar conversation with himself...and wondering why Lilly didn't have a man already. Then, ingenious plan, she could stay with him! Oh, was Merry ever right, this was the girl for him...now how would he explain having an un-married woman live with him to the neighbors? Well, he decided, he didn't care, and whatever happened would happen. He liked that thought, and it kept him smiling the rest of the night.
"Do you want to stay with me, I mean, while you're here?" Frodo asked.
"Like I could say no!" Lilly responded, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
