Emma leaned her head back against the bus seat and pulled out her duffle bag remembering the box Joey gave her from Craig. She opened it and lying there on top of packing peanuts was a brush that was silver and had rubies, diamonds, and sapphires in it. Along with a note from Craig:
Dear Emma,
I know it's kind of weird to get a brush from someone (especially a used one GROSS!) sorry that's Marco but someone said that this brush actually belonged to someone who died years ago and I know that you are interested in the legendary type stuff. Sorry for being weird but I also thought that it was kick ass looking.
I hope you like it and enjoy your "magic tour". I know I will.
With love,
Craig
She smiled when she read the P.S.
P.S. If you're going to be an immature idiot like Spinner about the "with love" thing it's just that plain "Love you like a sister" thing.
Emma shook her head and looked at the brush and turned it over in her hands. Maybe there was some sort of secret in a brush like this. It also must have cost out the ass, but she wondered…
The Legend
Robert danced with Jane spinning her around on the dance floor and out of the corner of his eye he watched as Kenny and Kari laughed with each other. "Do you know her?" Robert asked.
"Yes, she's my chambermaid and amazing," Jane said. "Do you know him?"
"My dear friend."
The music stopped and they applauded the orchestra. Robert took Jane's hand and led her out onto the lanai. Jane looked up at the stars. "I love nights like this," she said.
"And I," Robert said, taking her hand. "Love you."
Jane looked at him and smiled.
"I got something for you," he replied. "On my travels."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver pendent necklace that had a deep engraving in it. It was symmetrical on all four sides and it was a bunch of twists and turns forming a beautiful design.
Jane gasped. "I love it," she said. She turned and watched as his hands came over her head and hooked the silver chain. She stared at her reflection in the fountain on the lanai. "It's beautiful, Robert."
"You're beautiful," he whispered into her deeply perfumed neck.
Jane watched as he pulled something else out of his pocket and her eyes grew wide as she watched him get down on one knee. She turned and looked around at him. "Robert?" she whispered.
"Jane, will you marry me?" he asked.
Jane put her hand to her mouth and fought back tears. "Yes," she said.
He slipped the ring on her finger and stood up.
She put her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Kenny walked out onto the balcony that overlooked the river with Kari. He touched her smooth, soft cheek with the back of his finger and brushed it across her lips. "What is your name?" he asked.
"Kari," she whispered. "Yours?"
"Kenneth. But everyone calls me Kenny."
She smiled. "I like your name."
"It's not as…beautiful as Kari."
She blushed and looked down at her feet. He lifted her chin up and brought his lips to hers. They kissed long and hard. When they pulled away they looked up as stars shot across the sky.
Kari gasped. "It's amazing."
"You're the most amazing young woman I've ever met," he told her.
But then they both realized that the other deserved better. She was just a chambermaid and he was a stable hand but to each other she was a princess and he was Prince Charming waiting to take her away.
A/N: Sorry I keep writing more about "Kenny" and "Kari" but there's more to the story. Believe me! However, I checked and the Sean/Emma pairing has been knocked out of the number 1 favorite couples spot. But now which of the remainders do you like?: (If you have others that aren't here then e-mail me or put it in your review)
