The Fate of a Futuristic LoveāPart two
After the quick dip, we walked to Shuyin's fancy apartment complex. We went to get an apartment for me, and I was dazzled how private the apartment was, away from all of the city lights and noise of the thriving city, Zanarkand.
"Well here you go. Home sweet home!" Shuyin examined the room for any devices that would hear or see us. It appeared bugless.
I plopped on the bed, and almost immediately sunk into its mattress.
"Wow, Shuyin!" I exclaimed. "This is like paradise! I mean, just look! No city lights, no loud noises, just the sound of peace. I love it, Shuyin. I'm glad to have someone like you." He looked at me in a calm, loving way. I always loved when he looked at me that way. It touches me in a way no one else can.
"Uh-oh!" I teased. "The look tells me you are getting an idea! What is it?" He gently grabbed my hands and helped me up from the bed. He pulled me close until our foreheads were touching. He let go of my hands, and put his arms around my waist, and held tight.
"It has been a long time, hasn't it? Since the first time we met. Do you remember?" Shuyin was looking deep into my eyes when he said this. It felt like the walls and the entire room were gone, and just us left standing. Oh, how I loved this feeling!
"How can I ever forget?" I replied gently. "I was at your practice with a couple of my friends, waiting for my boyfriend to tell us if he made the cut for the Zanarkand Abes. Well, when he came out of the stadium, you came around the corner with your friends, on your way to grab something to eat with your dates. Well, you grabbed the girl that they partnered up with, because you didn't pick a girl yet. Anyways, you were going on hover, when you noticed that I was alone in the rain, waiting for my boyfriend and my friends. Turned out that they ditched me to go get drunk without me around to tell them how it could kill them. So, you stopped the hover and ran to meet me. Then your date got jealous, and she canceled on you. So, you asked me out, and I said yes."
"So you do remember!" He said. He loved my memory and I knew it. "So, how do feel about take-out?" His face was full of fantasy again. I loved that look on him.
"I haven't had takeout in forever!" I exclaimed. "So, where to?"
"I'm not telling!" He teased. "It's a surprise. Now, put this on so we can get a move on!" He held out a purple and white handkerchief, and tied it around my eyes so I couldn't see.
"Ah, the ultimate of surprise, huh?" I laughed as he lead me carefully down the hall to a hover. For a few minutes, we rode down quiet roads, not knowing where we were going. Finally, after awhile, we came to a complete stop. He led me off the hover, and untied my blindfold. What I saw was awesome, since the first day we came here together.
I almost cried at the sight of where we had our first date, "Abe-o- Rama." There was a huge, colorful banner in the front of the restaurant that read "Just for my Abe-o-Chick, Lenne."
"Oh, gosh!" I exclaimed. "Oh, Shuyin! You did this, for me?" Tears of joy poured down my cheeks, as I turned to him, and tackled him with the biggest hug that I could give.
"It's our fifth anniversary of being together, remember?" Shuyin looked at me with amusement.
"I guess I got a little sidetrack..." I looked at him nervously. He laughed.
"Well, good reminder, right?" Shuyin laughed at the look on my face. I couldn't blame him either.
He laced my fingers through his, and started walking me to the restaurant. I had a feeling that this relationship was going to last past a thousand years.
Well, there's the 2nd chappie! Hope you guys liked it! R & R please!----Beautiful Songstress
