Shire-ling Strangers
Chapter 5: Amazing Boys
Ali and Becca turned around to come face to face with Sam and Frodo. Ali's mouth dropped open as she found herself looking into the most gorgeous eyes that she'd ever seen: deep, liquid, and chocolaty-brown. She studied this boy's face, blonde-brown hair, amazing eyes, and the fullest most kissable and sensuous lips, 'yes' she told herself 'this is the most amazing boy on the planet!' Of course, had she said that to Becca, she would have gotten into one of the most passionate debates ever. Becca was totally smitten with Frodo, but she could have told you that from the beginning. His sapphire eyes, well-built chest, pouty lower lip, fair skin, and his chiseled features made for an almost hypnotizing appearance. Both girls' mouths dropped open, neither having to vocalize their opinions. Both Sam and Frodo must've read their expressions quite clearly as Frodo gave a charming smile, flashing perfect teeth; and Sam reddened and turned his face to the floor, his eyes remaining locked with Ali's. It was a seemingly long and uncomfortable silence that followed. The two girls were too stunned to speak, Sam too uncomfortable, and Frodo too polite. Somebody had to say something, so Frodo took the initiative, "So..." He began nonchalantly as he led the other three into the dining room and began to fix tea, biscuits, cheese, sliced apples, and a bit of honey ham on the side. This is quite a wonderful example of the workings of the hobbit mind, "When in doubt, eat!" Frodo continued taking as he did this, "How old are you two?" By this time the three had arranged themselves so that Becca was on the long end of the table, Sam across from her, and Ali was stationed at the end of the table, between the two. When Frodo started taking the trays, cups, teapot, knives, bowls, and jars over, Sam immediately jumped up to help; managing to carry more than half of what there had originally been. "Wow, coordinated." Ali mumbled, watching Sam carefully walk to the table. His head peaked out from behind all of the things in his arms and he puzzled "What?" "Oh, nothing, I just thought that it's pretty cool that you're not clumsy or anything." There was a short pause, and then Frodo and Sam burst out in laughter; Sam relaxing for the first time since he entered Bag End. "Oh-k, maybe not," Ali trailed off, blushing and looking at Becca. But Becca couldn't meet Ali's eyes; she was too busy looking at Frodo. Frodo looked up at Ali and said, "It's okay, you couldn't have known." He spoke to Ali, but he was looking at Becca. Ali noted this, and Sam obviously did too. Each noted that the other noted and they made brief eye contact and gave slight smiles, both blushing immensely. "So... do you, uh, have a girlfriend?" Ali asked no one in particular. "Of course not!" Becca replied, rolling her eyes exasperatedly. "Not you dumb-shit." Ali commented, lightly shoving Becca toward Frodo. "Well, I don't." Frodo stated immediately, still looking at Becca. Ali rolled her eyes at Sam, who gave a small smile. "Me neither." Sam said, blushing some more. The silence built again, and the tension grew. Finally Ali burst out into hysterical giggles, somehow managing to fall out of her chair. Frodo and Sam gave her very funny looks; then Sam jumped out of his chair to help her up, just as she sat up on her own. KONK! Their heads collided hard. "Ouch," Ali commented, "You okay?" "Yeah," Sam said, even though her earring had cut his face. "No you're not. Come with me 'Mr. Man" and I'll help you clean up." She stated, grabbing his wrist and pulling him into the kitchen; leaving Becca and Frodo sitting in the room alone.
