Beautiful Nightmare

Chapter 2- "Cherished Forgiveness"

"I wanted to apologize." Salene stepped closer into the room. May took a breath in softly. She smelled Salene and the scent was so strong to her that right then, and there her heart could melt into a liquid form.

"Apologize what for?" May just stood there when she asked the question. She wanted Salene to come to her. She wanted to make it seem she wasn't obsessive, or clingy.

"I wanted to say that I am really truly sorry. The reason to why I am sorry is for the way I looked to you on that day." Salene finished talking and was now a foot from May.

This drove May almost to completely going made. Her heart was pounding, her hand tremble with the slightest breeze and any moment she suspected her knees to soon buckle underneath her. "What Day?"

Salene sighed and sat on the end of May's bed. May stopped breathing (and as the saying goes monkey-see-monkey-do), she sat beside Salene. Salene covered her face and sobbed into her bare hands. May didn't know what to do, she pondered into her thoughts "should I hold on to Salene and get another chance to caress her, or sit there like a stiff wood doll?" Debating endlessly with her thoughts took quite some time, and by the time she raised her hand slightly Salene had already abruptly turned to face May.

"The day when you know you came out."

May made a dubious laugh. " I would hardly call that coming out. I mean I wasn't even given a chance to explain myself. That snobbish calculating halfwit girl found your private note that "I" made and presented to you."

Salene gave an inferior look on her face. "You shouldn't call people such names."

May rolled her eyes. "Oh come on you find her annoying just as much as I do!" May's outburst was so loud that she was surprise that nobody had come into the room wondering what the hell was going on.

Lifeless in motion, the two of them sat there like the other person was their mirrored reflection, until suddenly a fit of laughter broke the silence. May couldn't believe that everything was going so well between the both of them. Finally minuets after the laughter began both stopped before they wet themselves. May sat there and twitched once she felt something warm touch the inner side of her thigh. She looked to see it was Salene's hand, she looked up to see Salene's half smile.

"I thought this isn't your cup of tea?"

Salene smiled. "I have to let these feelings take its course, and know for sure if it's meant to be."

May thought this was all a dream. She didn't care of things afterwards or what had happened before. All she knew is that what she wanted to be true had come true. And now this moment was hers forever and ever. May raised her hand to Salene's cheek, brushing away the thin red hair she stroked her thumb once across her pale skin. She moved herself in to meet lips with Salene's. Her blood raced and thudded into the lowest of places, it made herself feel so alive. "

May pulled away and looked deep into Salene's eyes. "Aren't you afraid?"

Salene grinned with glee and passionately kissed May twice over massaging her tongue. She then allowed May to kiss down her neck and unbutton the white nightgown she wore. Breathing in heavily (and with so much sensual emotions going on) she finally had the chance to answer May's question.

"You can't be afraid in this world…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Next Morning ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The love was made the moment had passed and the sun came up. May woke up to the birds chirping. She looked to her side to see Salene peacefully sleeping taking strategic breaths in and out. May found the breaths very hypnotizing and watched the scene for a while. In almost putting her back to sleep, May shook her head and took in all that had happened.

Thinking to herself, "This has to be a dream." As she thought to herself she even tried pinching herself to make sure it was true. Smiling to the sleeping body beside her she hated that it had to end. She wish anything for her moment to go on, to turn out the sun, but this had to be a secret it had too! She didn't want anything to do with the profound speeches, or rainbows and bunnies. Sighing and accepting the fact that it was over she reached for Salene's hair, brushing it off she moved in slightly and pursed her lips onto Salene's, and in the process waking Salene up.

"Hey?"

Stretching and sitting up Salene yawned. "Hey."

"Are you okay?" May sat up beside Salene feeling concerned that she would hate everything about last night.

"Of course. But oh what time is it?"

May looked to her clock. "Still early around five."

Salene turned to look at the clock. "Oh damn!" Abruptly searching for her nightgown she raced to put it on. May felt a bit of discomfort with the pace of Salene.

Feeling like it was her fault May looked to her blanket." What's wrong Salene?" May began to feel gloomy. She thought Salene wanted nothing to do with her and assumed that was running out of time to cover-up all of this.

"I promised Sammy I would do his early guarding duties of the work party. It starts at five-thirty."

May raised her head to face Salene, and nodded. "See you later then?"

Salene stopped racing and smiled. Sacrificing her valued time she sat down on the bed and saved time for a tempestuous kiss. Leaving May speechless, Salene ran her fingers through May's hair. "Of course."

Salene got off the bed and skipped towards the entrance to the room. Turning back she waved to the enchanted May. After Salene was gone May rested back onto the bed. The scent of roses filled the air, and all May could do was to imagine of re-living last nights events over and over in her head. The thoughts that were occurring in her head had made her feel please, and brought her back into slumber.

Hours had now past and May was still dreaming of her lady. Until the Tribe had began to make loud noises as if a war was going on. This awoke May into the foulest of moods, forcing the pillow over her head she tried to drown the noises from downstairs out of her room. The noise continued until she heard the loudest of screams.

"HEY MAY COME HERE RYANS BACK!"

May bolted up in her bed, staring into black space all the thoughts that came to her mind were. "This really isn't a dream…?"
