Chapter 4- "The Admitting of Sandy and Frodos Love"

Gandalf, Frodo, Sandy, Bilbo, Elrond and Galadrial all go inside and sit down. Galadrial seems to notice Frodo is holding Sandys hand and looks at Elrond who smiles at the two. Frodo notices Elrond and Galadrial are watching him and he immediatly drops Sandys hand. Sandy looks at Frodo is confusion.

"Whats the matter Frodo?"- Sandy whispered. "We are being watched." Frodo said nodding his head towards Elrond and Galadrial. Sandy looks over at Elrond and Galadrial who are not watching now. "They aren't watching us, they are looking the other way." Sandy said. "But they were watching, I saw them" Frodo said. "What does it matter if they are? Are you ashamed to be seen holding my hand Frodo?" Sandy asked getting slightly upset. "No No, god no, its not that, it's just, they will tell Bilbo and Gandalf, and they like to embarrass me, by making comments." Frodo said putting his arm around Sandy. "Ohh I am sorry, I did not know." Sandy said smiling a bit. "It's okay Sandy" Frodo said kissing her hand. Sandy blushes and notices Frodo holding the Red Book in his other hand.

"Are you going to carry that thing everywhere you go?" Sandy asked. "well yes, I don't want to lose it, and I am thinking about doing some writing when dinner is over, speaking of dinner, wheres the food? I am starved!" Frodo asked. " Its coming! Just give me and Gandalf some time to get it ready!" Bilbo said hollering from the kitchen. "Here..let me help you guys!" Frodo said getting up and walking into the kitchen. Sandy smiled as she watched Frodo go into the kitchen and lets out a big deep sigh.

Galadrial walks over to Sandy and sits beside her grinning from ear to ear, and then she speaks, "You like Frodo don't you Sandy?" Galadrial asked. "Me? like...Frodo..no..never, he's..just a friend" Sandy said stuttering and looking away. "I see the way you look at him when your with him and the way you look at him as he walks away" Galadrial said. "I don't look at him in any special way...hes..just a friend, thats all." Sandy said sounding nervous. Galadrial smiles as if she had read Sandys mind, she knows Sandy likes Frodo, she is just waiting for Sandy to admit it. Sandy looks at Galadrial and notices shes smiling as if she already knows her thoughts. "What?" Sandy asked. "Oh nothing, but Sandy, you can not fool me, I am an elf, a great elf, I know you like Frodo" Galadrial said smiling. "I do not like Frodo! Maybe as a friend, but thats it..." Sandy said looking away. Galadrial just smiles at Sandy waiting for Sandy to admit her true feelings of Frodo. "Okay! OKAY! I admit it, I am in love with Frodo, Okay? there I have admitted it, ever since I layed my eyes on him, I have been in love with him, these feelings in my heart, in my gut, the feelings I get when im around him, holding his hand, Galadrial, I really really like Frodo!" Sandy said really fast and she takes a breathe. "See now, that wasnt so hard to admit now was it? I knew all along, I read your thoughts Sandy, I knew, I just wanted you to admit it out in the open and admit to yourself that you like him." Galadrial said smiling as she puts her hand on Sandy's shoulder. "But shh, I will keep this this a secret, Frodo or no one else will know this." Galadrial said. "But I know, I was standing here the whole time, I actually knew and could tell way before you even admitted Sandy" Elrond said. "But do not worry, we will keep this a secret, it will be between us only, I am sure Bilbo and Gandalf are asking Frodo the very exact same thing as we asked you." Elrond said. "Oh great, that makes me feel so much better to know that they are probably asking Frodo the same exact thing, so, you knew all along? when? how?" Sandy asked. "Never underestimate the power of the Elves, lets just say, we knew, when we first saw you two together" Galadrial said. "oh wow, you Elves are very fascinating" Sandy said. "Why thank you" Elrond said.

Frodo joins Bilbo and Gandalf in the kitchen as they fix food for dinner, Lembas bread being one of the tastiest treats. "So Frodo you and Sandy seem to be getting along really well, and have become friends" Gandalf said smiling. "Yeah, shes a great girl, we have so much in common gandalf, you have no idea" Frodo said smiling. "Oh believe me Frodo I know" Gandalf said. "So Frodo, you in love with this girl?" Bilbo asked. "Bilbo!" Frodo said looking around making sure that Sandy didn't hear. "I am not going to answer that, I only just met the girl, we are just friends." Frodo said. "friends..hmm? come on Frodo, I see the look in your eye when your with her, the look tells it all" Gandalf said smiling. "Come on lad, we think its sweet that you two are beginning to like eachother" Bilbo said. Frodo doesnt respond but looks very nervous, he cant deny what he feels in his heart about her, his heart wants to explode with feelings, though feared that if he tells Gandalf and Bilbo the truth that he is madly in love with her, will end with embarrassing comments, especially from his uncle Bilbo, Frodo choses to keep his feelings to himself, but can't take no longer of the asking if he likes her, so he lets out a sigh and speaks "Okay..Okay, I cannot keep this latched inside me no longer, I must speak about my feelings, the feelings of the heart, yes, I am in love with Sandy, though I only just met her, my heart fills with love, she is a beautiful beautiful girl whom I have so very much in common with, and so this day, I feel its time to unleash my feelings and let her know exactly how I feel. Though, I am afraid for rejection, that she doesn't feel the same about me as I do her." Frodo said, after saying that, he lets out a big sigh, relief that came over him that he had finally spoke what he feels. "Wow, my boy, in love, that is sooo wonderful" Bilbo said. "I am very much happy for you Frodo, but you need to tell Sandy all of this, she wont reject you, I am sure she feels exactly the same way." Gandalf said. "yes...go to her my boy, let her know how you feel, but first, dinner is ready, Im starved!" Bilbo said. "Mmmm dinner, I am very hungry" Gandalf said. "Your right, I will tell her, after supper, I might also take some time to write in my new red book as well, but right now, I am ready to eat" Frodo said smiling. Frodo, Gandalf and Bilbo walk back out of the kitchen with handfulls of food, it would be a wonderful dinner that they all have not had in a good time.
