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.
