CHAPTER 6
Where the Road Leads
Tori's eyes slowly fluttered open as sunlight hit her face. She felt something next to her and realized she and Blake had fallen asleep in each other's arms. She smiled at the guy beside her. They had finally told each other how they felt, but where did that put them. Blake still had Factory Blue and Tori just couldn't leave the academy. Blake stirred and slowly opened his eyes, smiling when his gaze met Tori's.
"Hey," he said sleepily. Tori smiled.
"Hey," she replied. Blake stretched then pulled a maneuver that made Tori laughed. He stretched his arms out then pulled them around Tori, causing her to be closer than she had been to him.
"Good morning to you too," she said while laughing. Blake pulled her in for a passionate, tongue-wrestling kiss. They both smiled as they made out with the morning sun shining through the window, representing the new day for them. When they parted for air, Tori crawled off of Blake and cuddled next to him.
"What are we going to do about our flights?" Tori asked.
"What do you say to staying in LA for a few days?" Blake asked. Tori sat up and looked at him, a little surprised.
"Are you serious?" she asked, a smile spreading across her face. Blake nodded. Tori squealed, completely out of character, and pounced on Blake.
"I take it you like that idea," Blake said, laughing and trying to recover from her pouncing on him.
"I love it, but I thought you had a few WEEKS off," Tori said.
"Well, I do but I'm going to call Roger today and ask him to put me on the schedule for next week. The sooner I finish my contract the better," Blake explained. Tori stared at him, a small smile creeping across her face.
"What are you saying Blake?" she asked cautiously.
"As soon as I finish my contract with Factory Blue, I'm coming home. That is, unless you don't want me too...," Blake tried to say jokingly but was cut off by a passionate kiss from Tori.
"What does that tell you Thunder Boy?" she asked sarcastically. The two laughed and just enjoyed each other's company. They found themselves walking the boardwalk of a local beach that afternoon, holding hands and enjoying the sunshine.
"So what did Roger say?" Tori asked. Blake had talked with Roger before they had had lunch.
"He said I would be missed but was happy that I've made a decision and that I will be finishing my contract," Blake said.
"So what should we tell the guys?" Tori asked. Blake smirked devilishly.
"Who said we had to tell the guys anything?" he said. Tori looked at him a little surprisingly.
"I know they meant well by sending you here but this is our lives, let's just enjoy it," Blake said, pulling her in to him. Tori wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hey, I like that idea," Tori said before kissing him. Passer bys whistled at the couple but they didn't care. When they separated, Tori smirked at him.
"Time for a surfing lessons," she said, pulling him to the beach.
"After last time?" Blake whined at his new girlfriend pulled him over to a stand where they rented wet suits. They enjoyed the rest of the afternoon in the sun and the ocean, laughing and just enjoying life as it came.
Later that night, they were exhausted from the day and Blake ordered some Chinese food. They dug in once at came.
"Oh, this is so good," Tori said as she scarfed noodles. Blake started to chuckle.
"What?" Tori asked. Blake leaned in.
"You've got something on your mouth," he said, pretending to lean in. Tori wondered what it was under she felt Blake's lips against hers. She smiled, laughing that she fell for that old trick. Carefully pushing the boxes aside, Blake climbed more on top of Tori as she slipped down onto the pillows. Their kissing deepened, causing their tongues to roll over each other. Blake intertwined his hands into Tori's and placed them over her head. The kissing intensified even further, sending sensations through their bodies. Blake removed his lips and buried his head into the crook of Tori's neck, massaging her skin with his lips. He let go of her hands and traced her body with his own as she clutched his back.
Blake trailed his kisses from her neck, across and down her chest of all the exposed skin. Tori's heart beat increased as his lips neared her chest. He slowly unbuttoned the top few buttons of her shirt, revealing her fit frame in a form-fitting bra. He wrapped his arms around her body and began kissing her more. He sucked on the skin of her breasts that was exposed. Tori smiled, she was in total ecstasy, but she didn't think this was the right time. So when Blake's hands lingered on her bottoms and started to take them off, she stopped him.
"Blake...um...," Tori said, grabbing his hands and stopping, suddenly becoming a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" he asked, fearing he had done something wrong.
"It's not you Blake, it's just, I want to wait and do this when I know you don't have to go rushing off to a foreign country the next day," Tori said. Blake smiled, leaned in and kissed her.
"I'll wait forever for you," he said. Tori smiled and they kissed again. They once again fell asleep in each other's arms, content on their futures together.
The next few days came and went like the speed of light and the couple soon found themselves at a departure point in the airport.
"I can't believe I won't get to see you for another six months," Tori said, playfully pouting her lips. Blake smirked and kissed her.
"Just keep remembering that the next time you see me, you won't have to say goodbye again," he said.
"And we'll write and call all the time, so it won't be that bad," Tori said.
"Hey I got you this," he said, handing her a box. Tori carefully opened it to reveal a beautiful heart locket with a blue crystal dolphin encrusted on the front.
"Oh my gosh, Blake, it's beautiful," she said, running her fingers over, attempting not to cry.
"Our pictures are already inside," he said. Tori leaned in a kissed him deeply.
"I got you something too," she said before digging into her book bag. She brought out a small bag and handed it to him.
"It's not as nice as what you got me," she explained as he opened the gift. It was a leather bracelet with their picture in the middle and the thunder insignia and water insignia sewn on either side.
"No, no, I love it," Blake said sincerely, smiling wide. The two gazed at each other before hugging and kissing once more.
"Where will the road take us from here?" Tori asked.
"I don't know but I love you Tori," Blake said.
"I love you too Blake," Tori replied before kissing him.
SIX MONTHS LATER..................................................
"Hey Tor," he
said.
"Hey you," she replied. The two quickly kissed,
surprising most of the other rangers.
"Uh, when did this
happen?" Shane asked.
"Does it matter as long as it has
happened?" Tori asked.
THE END. I hope that didn't seem rushed to you guys but that's how I wanted it. Look forward to your reviews. I will be updating Storm Callers soon and starting on the Hunter/Leila spinoff.
