Feelings Revealed
Dilandu
He drove to his house, showered carefully, dressed in clean clothes, and ate. His thoughts were mostly on one person. Merle. His heart still felt shattered. Every moment he had spent for her flashed in his mind. He decided to call Van to make sure that it was alright he come over. He was greeted by Allen who okayed the visit. Finally he locked his door and went to his car. He drove out to Van's house. His heart was spinning and flipping. He couldn't keep it under control. Will Merle speak to me again? Will she listen to what I have to say? Did Van tell her everything? Will she even care? The questions spun through his head so fast he was almost dizzy. Finally he parked his car in front of Merle's house and got out. He was greeted with a great big hug from Hitomi.
"I'm so glad that you're here!" she said.
"Yeah."
"What's up, Dilandu?" Van called from the porch, a smile on his face. I never thought I'd be a friend to this bunch… but I guess I'm glad he thought to himself.
"Just the sky." He replied. And my heart. Hitomi took his hand and led him inside. "What's up Hitomi?" he asked confused but knowing at the same time.
"You have to go talk to Merle." She said strongly. He nodded, he understood.
"How is she?"
"Her leg is still in a cast and her arm is a little sore but other than that she's fine." He was relieved. Hitomi walked him to Merle's door and then disappeared down the stairs. He slowly turned to her door and knocked on it hesitantly.
"Go away." A quiet voice said from inside. He opened the door anyway. "I said go…" she stopped when she saw Dilandu come in, a look of worry on his face and passion in his eyes. "Dilandu?"
Merle
She looked at him from her bed. She had been laying there all day but at sight of him she wanted to jump up and throw her arms around him. Her eyes wandered over him and looked for his wounds. He seemed alright. I've missed him like hell! "How are you?" He asked from her doorway, unsure of whether he should come in or not.
"Alright enough." She said motioning for him to come and sit on her bed. He did, pulling the door almost closed behind him. They looked at each other and then Merle looked away, but not before he saw tears in her eyes.
"Merle?" he said, unsure of what to do.
"I heard the story. The whole story from Van." She said, wiping away her tears quickly. "I couldn't believe it at first, about how he said you felt. I didn't want to believe it. But I did eventually, when I heard about your fight with Vince. Not just for you but for me." she said, finally looking at him. They were both still, unsure of what to do or what to say. His heart and hers raced. Neither dared to make any move though. She spoke again. "Do you remember… the day of the accident?"
"How could I forget?" he whispered, the whole scene flashing through his mind.
"You were going to tell me something. Something else other than the warning you gave me. What was it?" He thought. He thought of everything he had said. Everything he had done. Everything that he wanted to do. He felt unsure. Would what he did… what he would do… would she hate him for it all? Should I tell her? He looked to her face. Her beautiful and tear stained face. Of course moron! He finally decided and wiped away her last tear.
"All I wanted to tell you was…" He didn't know how to explain how he felt, how he had felt since he met her. His feelings were jumbled up inside. He looked into his heart and suddenly he knew how to show her and what to say. He leaned forward and swiftly kissed her lips. She didn't fight him but kissed him back passionately. After a long moment he broke away slowly and continued. "All I wanted to tell you was… I love you." he said. Tears sprung to Merle's eyes. Her heart melted, as her lips curved into a smile. A smile both of relief and of happiness.
"I'm so sorry for hurting you the way that I did!" she cried flinging herself into his arms. He held her in a close embrace.
"I'm sorry too. For everything. But that doesn't matter much now. That's in the past. And now… we have a future." He said. They stayed there for a moment and soon he laid down next to her and held her in his arms. For a long time they enjoyed just being there.
"Dilandu?" she asked softly, almost asleep, the day already coming close to an end. The sun was setting through the window and cast a romantic shadow over the couple.
"Yeah?" he asked back.
"I love you too." With that the both of them fell asleep. Things can't get any better than this. Unknown to them Hitomi and Van were listening from outside.
"I think we did a good job, don't you Van?" Hitomi said pulling at Van's arm, leading him back downstairs.
"Yeah. We did good." Giving her a quick kiss they walked downstairs.
Okay! This was the first story that I've ever really finished so… tell me how I did! Please!
