Chapter Five: Unspoken Apology

Shannon sprinted through the maze of tents, dodging people until she found him.

Sayid was sitting outside his tent, pouring over one of Danielle's maps.

"Sayid!" Shannon panted, skidding to a halt in front of him.

The former soldier looked up, surprised to see her. "Shannon?"

"Sayid, I need to talk to you."

He nodded. "I have something I wish to discuss with you as well." Sayid gestured to his tent "Perhaps we could talk more privately in here?"

"Yeah. Yeah that would be fine." Shannon said nervously.

Once inside the tent, Shannon had to fit the urge to bolt. She watched Sayid run a hand through his wild black hair. She couldn't do it! She couldn't tell him she loved him!

Sayid took a deep breath and began to speak "Shannon I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable earlier, it's just that-" before he could finish, he was cut off by Shannon's lips pressed on his.

They broke apart smiling.

"I don't need a damn dictionary to tell me what love is." Thought Shannon "It's here, right in front of me."

AN: Well, there it is! My first Shayid fic! What did you guys think:)
