Well, here is the third chapie...
You're gonna find out who it is... (if you don't know it all ready...)
Enjoy!
Chapter 3
You're standing there… Just standing. As if you don't know what to do, how to react...
Yes, we never learned that in the Abbey, did we...
I open my eyes in surprise when I feel your thumb wiping away a couple of tears.
In your eyes I see a whirl of emotions, but I can't quite place any of them. Because as soon as I see them, they're gone again.
Your hand rests on my cheek for 5 seconds before you turn and walk away...
My eyes are wide open.
Without knowing, my hand goes to the place where yours was only moments ago.
Slowly my mind returns…
'I know that touch...'
Silence speaks,
Loud and clear,
All the words I (don't) want to hear...
I shudder slightly.
No, that is impossible... It just can't be... Can it?
I stand up and take my coat.
I need to see him again. Speak with him.
I have to know...
-
Damn it! Where is he?
I've been almost everywhere the past hour or so, and I still haven't found him.
He was not at his home, not with one of the guys, not at the beystadium, not at the dojo... Hell, where can he be?
Last chance: the park.
I shake my head. No, Bry is not a person to go to the park to clear his thoughts, to be alone...
Still my feet bring me there.
And suddenly I see him.
Sitting on the grass before the water of the lake.
I halt. Paralysed. Holding my breath.
The more I think of the possibility that he might have been that one person, the more I want to throw myself in his arms. I want him to hold me, to kiss me, to touch me like he did those nights...
I want to see his eyes, want to see what is hidden beneath the cold glare...
I feel it's got to be there… That what I've been looking for…
What is this feeling
I've never known?
It makes me know
Why I'm alive...
I silently walk 'til I am behind him.
Something between a snicker and a sigh escapes his lips.
"Tala..."
I sit down next to him.
"Bryan..."
By looking in his eyes
Will I see beyond the sorrow that I feel?
I look at him, but he's avoiding my gaze. His eyes are cold.
Give me this moment
This precious chance...
I take a deep breath and lean closer to him.
My lips softly touch his cheek.
When I pull away, he turns his head. His eyes widened a bit in surprise of my action.
The lavender depths in front of me hold a softer glance now, but one full of questions.
Look in my eyes
Who do you see there?
Someone you know,
Or just a stranger?
If you are wise,
You will see me there...
Your lips are parted slightly. Your breathing a bit irregular.
A sad smile forms itself and I sigh softly. Was I wrong?
I close my eyes and lower my head. A single tear escapes my eye.
"Sorry." A mere whisper.
I stand up quickly, turn and walk away.
But after a couple of meters I feel a hand grape my wrist. A soft grip.
You turn me around. Your other hand lifting up my chin, so I would have to face you... However, I close my eyes. I can't. I can't face you now...
"Tala, please. Look at me..."
Your voice is soft. Almost gentle.
I sigh, but do as you ask.
I open my eyes and look at you. A soft intake of breath. You're surprised to see all these emotions in my usual ice cold eyes.
I close them again and turn my head.
"Let me go Bryan. Please."
My voice sounds tired, almost broken. Did you notice?
"No."
I look at you. Angry
And next thing I know, your arms encircle me.
My eyes are wide open.
'Wha...What...?'
And as suddenly as it came, you let go of me.
I can just stand there... Stare at you.
Your eyes are saying all your voice can't...
I feel something crack inside me and I throw myself in your arms, who, immediately hold me close to you. My head is resting on your chest, my arms around your waist.
In his eyes I can see
Where my heart longs to be
In his eyes I see a gentle glow
And that's where I'll be safe, I know!
Safe in his arms, close to his heart!
You place a soft kiss on top of my head and I smile...
Smile, while a single tear finds a path over my face...
-
Kana: so, hope you all enjoyed it...
There is going to be an epilogue, so, see you all then...
Oh, and if you have time, tell me what you think of it... You know, it's that little button down here... ; )
