Sleepless Nights
Prologue
By Kitten Starr
Some people always spend their whole lives waiting for that special someone to finally show up on their doorstep. Sometimes it never happens. They think that it is just as easy as tying your shoelaces. The fact is, real love only happens once in a person's life and we might be too dumb to realize what's out there for us. If a relationship doesn't work out, then, it just doesn't work out. It's as simple as that. Love falls in fate's hands, not ours.
One never really knows how far or how close that individual will be. The beauty about love is that it's a mystery. Fate never allows us to know we're in love until the time is right. That's how life works. Fate falls into destiny and love into fate. That's how they're all linked.
You're not going to find love by standing on a street corner under the quixotic light shining from the lamp. One will not find it while watching soap opera stars on television. The truth is that love finds us. It's not going to find you while you're hiding beneath a rock in the desert. You can't be afraid of it. Let it take its course.
-~*~-
Bit Cloud yawned loudly as he flipped off the television. It was a boring Saturday night and he was the only one still up. He had grown restless and couldn't fall asleep. Everyone else was sleeping snugly in their beds probably dreaming.
He snarled at the female doctor he had just finished watching on the tube. What did she know about love? It was far more complicated than anyone could ever imagine. And letting it take its course? Bah!
"I'm so bored!" remarked Bit to himself.
He hoped Leena was having fun with Harry. He had once again agreed to let Harry go on a date with the redheaded firecracker. It was mostly on his part being that Harry in part agreed to give generous funding to the Blitz Team and the Liger.
"Well, at least you have something to do tonight, Leena." Bit smiled and rolled over. He should've followed them into the city and watched as Leena bashed Harry both physically and verbally. No doubt that she wouldn't. At least it would be something for him to do.
Finally Bit fell asleep and began to dream. The last picture that went through his head that night was of Leena Toros. He almost felt sorry for putting her up in the position that he had.
-~*~-
Leena sipped her punch without vigor as Harry rambled on at what a wonderful time he was having. The night had turned out to be a waste of energy on her part. She was wishing that it was done and over with.
She glanced at the tiny bracelet watch on her slender wrist. It was only a quarter until nine and the minutes were ticking by slowly. She took another sip from her glass and stared around the room.
Leena was having a bad night altogether. She had already stained her brand new dress with gravy from the steak she had eaten earlier. She doubted that it would come out too. To top all things off, she still had another half hour until she could go home. When she did get home, however, there was going to be some major Bit smashing.
Leena smiled unknowingly and didn't realize that the last thirty minutes had gone by like a breeze. She thought it kind of odd that once she started thinking about Bit that everything seemed to pick up speed.
The waitress handed Harry the check as Leena got up from the table and left. She would've let Harry take her back to the Hover Cargo, but she just wanted to get away from him as soon as possible. Her so-called fantastic evening would be over shortly. She'd have to get Bit in the morning because she was too tired and knew that she'd fall into sleep's embrace once she arrived home.
