9. True feelings

Sarah woke early the next morning after a very restless slumber. All through the night Sarah

had dreams of Jareth. Some of the dreams had been bad, and some good. She got out of the

gigantic bed, stretched and walked out onto her balcony. The Labyrinth looked so beautiful.

The sun was rising over the green maze, making the flowers shine and glimmer. Sarah sighed,

she would miss it here, if Jareth was toying with her. Sarah slipped into the warm water of

her bath, that Jasmine had drew for her. She finished bathing and decided on the prettiest

dress Jareth had picked for her. It was made of pale pink satin, and tied in the back. It had

a tight bodice and a flowing skirt. She wanted to look absolutely desirable. She loved getting

all dolled up, but she longed for a pair of jeans, and a poets shirt. She misted herself with

some fragrance, that smell like fresh cut flowers, and walked out the door. "Soon I'll know how

Jareth feels, and where home is". With that she confidently walked down to the dining room.

Jareth woke up very groggy, he had spent half the night watching Sarah. She looked so beautiful

when she was sleeping. "Of course she looks beautiful when she sleeps, she isn't awake, and

running her mouth off at me" he said with a chuckle. Jareth took a cold shower to wake him up.

He got out put on his signature tight pants, gray, a billowing poets shirt, and of course his

famous pendent. He was sweating a little. He had never told a woman that he loved her. Sarah

would be the first, and the last. He wanted to make his castle Sarah's home. He wanted to make

Sarah his wife. "Enough wasting time" Jareth snapped. With that he was off to meet her for

breakfast.

Sarah found her way to the dining room, but oddly enough it wasn't as beautiful as last night.

Don't get me wrong it was still beautiful, but it didn't have that special glow. Jareth entered

the room, and the glow returned.

"Does every room light up when you enter it?" Sarah asked.

"This castle is designed to react with my moods, and when I saw you , I became happy, therefore

the room started glowing, my love." Jareth replied.

"Very smooth" Sarah thought.

"Yes, well I am quite smooth" Jareth teasingly said.

Sarah just gave him look, and laughed.

They ate their breakfast in silence, not knowing when or how to start what they wanted to say.

Finally Sarah broke the silence , "I have to ask you something". she said.

"No wait, don't say anything, I have something to tell you." Jareth interrupted.

"Ok, go on, I'm listening" Sarah responded.

"This is all new to me, but Sarah, I love you, I have loved you since the moment I saw you. You

defeated me, don't get me wrong I was pretty irate, and found you annoying, but after you left,

there was something missing, and I felt empty." Jareth explained.

"Jareth" Sarah started.

"No, wait I' m not finished" Jareth interrupted again.

"Sarah my dear, I would give you the sun, the moon, and every last star in the sky.

There isn't anything I would deny you. I want you to stay and be my queen. My wife".

"think about it". Jareth finished, and got up to walk away.

"Jareth wait!" Sarah exclaimed.

Jareth slowly turned around. He didn't know what to expect with Sarah, and that was what he

loved and feared about her.

"Jareth, I love you too, I haven't been able to get you off my mind for the last year, and since

we last met, that fateful night." "I do want to be with you, but I need to know that I can

leave whenever I want", "Not leave you, but to leave to visit my family and friends." Sarah

explained.

"You may leave whenever you want, just be with me, love me , let me rule you and I will be your

slave" Jareth commanded.

Sarah crossed the room, and walked up to Jareth "Where have I heard that before" she said smiling.

"When I offered you your dreams for the first time, now this is the second time, do you accept?"

"Of course I do" Sarah beemed.

Jareth bent down and planted a very sweet kiss on Sarah's lips.

"Will you join me, and your friends for a picnic today?" Jareth asked.

"Yes, that would be wonderful" Sarah answered.

With that they both went their separate ways to their rooms, to process what just happened.

Authors note: Hey everyone, I hope you liked it.I hope it doesnt look screwed up, I am using a friends computer, and they have a different program...blah blah blah.. It was a little longer this time. I know Jareth was out of character, but he is in love and is not in danger of being defeated and I wanted this to be romantic! Keep reading , and reviewing.
