Disclaimer: If I owned Zelda, you think I'd be writing this?
Genre: Romance/Drama/Humor
Rating: PG-13
Note: Well, after positive reinforcement and a few favorites, here's my second Zelda fic. Hope you like it. (And just to tell you all, this one is Link/Zelda. If you don't like that pairing, and decide to send me nasty little notes, flames will be used to toast bread. And make tea. Thank you.)
….Later, as I had climbed into my rental car and was nearing the hotel, I had only two thoughts on my mind. One, I had the chance of being with Link next morning. And two, Malon was going to have an fit as soon as I called, at which I smirked, being able to picture her reaction. Oh yes. We were going to have quite the talk when I called her.
Which I planned on doing as soon as I got into my room.
Ring ring.
Ring ring.
Ring rin…
"Hello?"
"Hey, Malon. Good to see you're awake," I said, laughing at Malon's groggy voice.
"Oh! Zelly! Hey, how are you? How was the flight? And how dare you wake me up!" she said laughing.
"Just returning the countless other times," I said, returning her laugh. "I'm fine, bit sleepy, but fine. As was the flight… Well… I should say… More than fine," I finished, smirking, even if she couldn't see it.
"Hmm? More than fine? Spill, girl," Malon responded, making a noise at the other end that meant she was tapping the phone.
"Well… Let's see…" I said, trying to think of what to say without her jumping to conclusions.
"OH! You met a hot guy didn't you!"
"What?! Hey…. How'd you know?" I said, laughing despite myself.
"Yes! I knew it!" She said, and I could clearly envision her doing her little 'yes!' fist thing. "Ooooh… Description! Description!" she continued, probably jumping up and down from the sound of her hair hitting the phone.
"Alright alright. Well… Blonde… Kinda tall, but not much… Blue eyes… and bloody damn smart," I said, stifling a yawn, but grinning all the same from the squeals that came over the receiver.
"Finally! A guy for you…" Malon said, sighing dreamily.
"Don't count on it…" I said, my smile fading a bit. I hadn't dated since the beginning of college, and I had long since graduated.
"Oh, don't give me that crap. Now, I'm good and awake. You tell me everything that happened. Now."
"Yes, master," I said, laughing as I started to talk about what happened.
Yawing, I stretched as I woke up, closing my eyes shut from the protruding light from the large windows.
"Ugh… 8:30," I grumbled, checking the clock as I flopped back down onto the bed. "Never fails. I can never sleep until 10:30. Or anything later for that matter… Note to self: Never let Malon talk her ear off that late at night ever again. Or call her then," I added, sitting back up and placing my face in my hands.
Malon had kept me up until past two in the morning, wanting every single detail, including what I dreamed on the bloody plane. (Not that I remembered myself.) Although, she had done most of the talking, or I should say… squealing. The fact that I found potential boyfriend material had driven her up the wall, and she had even sworn not to 'steal him.'
Chuckling at that, I crawled out of the bed and over to my still packed suitcases, digging through them for some clothes to put on for today. Picking out a shirt and some jeans and pulling out my toiletries, I flipped on the TV while I padded over to the bathroom, rubbing my eyes and yawning.
"Good morning, Koholint Island! Today's another beautiful day, with a high of 70 and a low of 65," the TV stated, with a cheery man as the weatherman. "Although, we might be seeing some rain tonight, but it won't be much. So, just be prepared with your umbrellas! Back to you Kien…"
I turned back to my reflection in the mirror, my half-awake self, staring back with at toothbrush in her mouth. Finishing up my brushing, I turned on the shower, briefly hearing the TV go on about new sports, and something about a giant dog named Bow Wow on the lose.
It felt good, relaxing under the hot water, letting my mind wander as I proceeded to wash myself. I could do almost anything here… I was far from the usual hustle and bustle of my busy life, and as much as I loved it, I needed this break. Just what to do with it was the question.
'Then again,' I thought, a grin spreading on my face. 'Coffee with Link sounded great.'
I'll fix and add more to this up later, but this is it for now. Sorry for the lack of updates… and this utterly short one here. Other than doodling a few oekaki here and there, I haven't had much time, or effort, to sit down and type. ;;; Sorry.
Anyway, hope you peoples like what I have at the moment, and thank you to all who have read and reviewed so far. X3 It means so much to me. XD;
Well, until I have the time and the effort to continue, ja ne, minna-san. :P
