Chapter two: Night Talk
"You know Emm, the only way you're playing with me, its because you always get your ass kicked with Adam..." Jesse said. The molecular and the psyonic were playing chesse. Jesse moved as he rose his head to get a better picture of the one looking at them. It was Brennan. He sat on the couch near enough to hear, far enough not to be part of the scene.
"Hey, how are you doing Bren?" Emma asked as she moved. She never looked at him when asking that, she was too concentrated to seem like she care.
"Im fine Emma." Brennan said at once. Sometimes the psyonic could get really annoying, especially when she felt every emotion in Brennan. She was trying not to, but when feelings were out there like that, she couldn't help to pick them up. Jesse's turn and he moved.
"Well if you need someone to..." Emma started saying but was interrupted by Brennan's overreacted impresion of her.
"I know.. i know.. you're there for me.." He said tryng to sound grateful. He knew all this was killing him, he knew he had hurt Shalimar, and that was even worse, but right then, he didn't feel like adding mad friends to the list. Suddenly Adam entered as he took a look at the elemental, and then at the pair playing chess.
"Having fun?" Adam asked ironicly.
"Why? you got something for us?? a mission maybe?" Emma said desperately. Though she liked chess, that whole staying home thing and doing nothing, didn't match her personality. Brennan on the other hand, wasn't feeling like going in a mission, not after what happened with Shal. He wanted to go right then to her room and tell her how much he loved her, wanted her, but something was stopping him. He had no problems with the team being with them, he always thought that they eventually would find out about his feelings, but Shalimar, that he wasn't sure. She had made herself very clear about how much she cared about him a lot of times, but it was different now, he was willing to confess his feelings, and all he wanted was at least a being loved in return.
"Brennan we're talking to you here!!!!!" Emma snapped at the elemental.
"Ah.. yeah.. what was it?" Brennan asked lost.
"Im going out for a meeting, be back tomorrow, you guys play nice..." Adam informed leaving Sanctuary and taking the Helix with him.
"Well... Im up for some movie maraton... who's with me?" Emma asked and realised Jesse was far too gone, and Brennan was looking everywhere but her. "Brennan???? Jesse???" Emma tried again.
"no... huh uh... sorry Emm but your taste in movies sucks.. and im your friend..." Jesse said with a smile.
"great friends I have..." Emma said half pissed and left the room.
"that wasn't anger was it?" Jesse said looking at Brennan who didn't seem to care at all at the whole situation. He was concentrated in one spot in the wall and wasn't looking somewhere else.
(* * *)
"and what happened with you..?" Shalimar asked passing by Emma's room.
"same question." Emma said looking deeply at the feral.
"dont know what you're talking about..." Shalimar replied as she attempted to leave but Emma's talking forced her to stay.
"C'mon Shal, Im a telempath remember? If there's someone you can't hide your feelings from, that's me." Emma said sured.
"he is using me." Shalimar said sad as she left the room. Emma could fill in the blanks herself as she smiled thinking how dumm her friends were.
(* * *)
It was about 2 am, and Sanctuary was still awake. Jesse was the only one whose snoring was heard all over the place.
"damn.. he should be studied or something... that snoring.. not normal.." Brennan said as he stood up for the 12th time. He searched the room for his shirt but when he realised it was taking too long he quitted the search and left the room shirtless. He walked down the stairs all the way to the kitchen and started looking for something to eat in the fridge. He grabbed an apple and turned just to see Shal standing in front of him.
"Shal... what are you doing up this late?" He asked not realising she wasn't supposed to even answer him with what had happened the day before.
"could ask you the same question, now are you done with the fridge?" She asked in such an angry tone that Brennan let her pass. Shalimar grabbed a bottle of water and drank it in front of him, sitting then and watching him up and down. Brennan noticed the watching thing and couldn't help to smile a bit, he sat too.
"Shal..." He started. He had everything cleared now, he felt like had always had them cleared, but never opened his eyes wide enough to see them that clear.
"what do you want?" She asked as angry as before.
"why are you so angry Shalimar???? 'cause I told you how I felt? If you want me to understand you, you gotta help me out a little here.." Brennan said leaving the apple aside and focusing just on the woman in front of him.
"that's the thing Brennan, I DON'T WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND ME. At all." She got up and started leaving but Brennan followed her closely as they walked up the stairs.
"Shal, you can't reject me forever, you'll have to talk to me, eventually." Brennan said still following her. Shalimar was hurrying and Brennan did so too as she stood up abruptely.
"you're right. I can't. But this is where you stop." She said entering her room. Brennan wanted to follow her in but he wasn't gonna unless she let him. So he turned and started heading to his own room.
(* * *)
"damn! Just... stop being here!" Shalimar said to the air as she hit one pillow. She looked at the ceiling and then at the floor, and then at her sorroundings. It was dark but she could see everything as clear as water, half having to do with her feral DNA, the other half just her.
"if you love him just go and tell him damnit!!!!" Shalimar heard Emma's voice. The telempath was really annoying lately.
"Emma I'd really apprecciate if you stop listening private conversations from now on..." Shalimar said calmly.
"I DIDN'T!!!" Emma defended herself. "you're practically screaming your feelings out!!! I can't even sleep with you and Brennan's thing here.. some people try her whole life out to find love, and you two have it right there but yet you're not taking it!"
"Emma... just, if you're in a bad mood..." Shalimar started.
"IM NOT! IM JUST BEING HONEST! OTHER'S LIKE JESSE PREFER TO IGNORE THINGS, ME, TELEMPATH HERE, WANTS YOU TWO TO JUST DEAL WITH IT! HE STAYED BECAUSE OF YOU! NOT MIRANDA, NOT ANYONE. YOU SHALIMAR, JUST... You.." Emma said soflty the last word. "question here is: are you willing to tell him you love him back?"
"That's not of your damn business Emma!" Shalimar snapped at her. she was angry at the psyonic now.
"whatever." Emma said closing her eyes and trying to catch her sleep again.
"he didn't... he didn't stay because of me... he stayed cause he had no other option..." Shalimar convinced herself as she tried to sleep.
(* * *)
Brennan was lying in his bed, eyes opened and staring at the ceiling. He suddenly heard a knocking on his door. He lazily got up and opened the door. His eyes couldn't believe what he saw.
"Shalimar..." He said opening the door for her.
"I... I hope I didn't wake you.." She said shily. Brennan shook his head no and sat on the edge of his bed.
"I figure you came here to talk... finally.." Brennan said as he watched her expressions.
"yeah.. I.. we can't go on like this Bren.. there's something I want you to know and I can't keep it anymore so.." Shalimar didn't finish. She wanted to, but she was really nervous. She didn't know what he could answer back, and that was terrifyng her.
"Well im listening Shal.." He alented her to go on.
"I.. I don't know what to do with you... I.." Brennan stood up quickly and approached her. Shalimar was confused, she wanted to know what he was going to try, cause at that time she felt like she could melt in his arms.
"well I know what to do with you..." Brennan replied as she kissed her softly and looked at her. "I love you Shalimar, just you, not Miranda, not Lorna, not Ashley not, no one. Just you. Shalimar Fox." Brennan said pausing in each word for her to understand it.
"so... you weren't going to stay there... even if..." Shalimar asked him.
"You brought me here Shal. If im here, its for you and just for you. I want you to understand, that im in love with you, I've always been." He said again.
"good to know." She said kissing him deeply. Brennan slammed her against the wall as they both started to kiss even more passionate and heated than before. Then Shalimar broke appart and kissed his ear as she softly pronounced:
"by the way... I love you too." She said turning to the door.
"wait, where are you going?" He asked confused.
"look your watch Bren... it's just 3 o clock.. i'll be seeing YOU in the morning.." She said as she left smiling.
"that was mean Shalimar... really mean.." Brennan said with a smile himself. "tomorrow morning..."
