This was a really hard chapter to write, but eventually I got it down. Once I got going I could barely stop again, so this chapter was a bit longer, than any other. But I don't suppose any ofyou are complaining. Lol!

Disclaimers: Always check chapter 1.


Sleeping Sara

Chp. 8

Gil nearly went into shock after hearing that. Stunned beyond belief also. Because not only did she use Gil on him, but she also declared that she loved him too. Numbly he became aware of that he was gaping, but not really caring if he did. He was now entirely too busy staring into Sara's eyes for a moment, and then he finally collected himself. He closed his mouth again, tore his eyes away and dipped them to their hands. When he a few moments later looked up again, he saw that she was looking down at their hands too. As she raised her look again, they locked eyes, and somehow they mutually intertwined their fingers. It felt to him, as if it was the most natural thing for them to do. But even given that, Gil's brain had to struggle to catch up. It was one of the more intense experiences, that he had ever felt, and her hand felt so good. So soft and feminine in his own rough one. He caressed her fingertips, just to make sure that her hand was really there.

"Really?" He managed to spit out, since he just had to hear that it was absolutely true. And that from Sara's own mouth.

"Yes, I love you too," Came Sara's truthfully answer. The Sara Sidle gap-toothed smile still in place on her face, albeit it had now turned more into a smirk.

Gil just looked at her for a while, still a little numb. 'If it ever possible, she's even more beautiful, and looks more Angelic right now.' He thought to himself. Feeling very brave, he raised their hand to eye-level. He began to examine the delicate hand in his own, letting his eyes and thumb roaming over the back of it. He caught Sara staring at him in fascination. He turned her hand over, so he had access to her palm. Fingering it lightly he felt it twitch. Looking at Sara, he found her having this "It tickles so stop it" look and he felt himself smiling at that. He stopped though. Instead he brought the palm to his lips and kissed it. At that moment he heard a gasp, coming from the woman, of whose hand he had just kissed. He found her; eyes closed with this blissfully look on her face. He then did the thing, which he had wanted to do the most, since he had to shake her awake. He reached over with his other hand, and buried it in her soft brown silky mess of curls. Sara jerked her eyes open by that.

"Your hair is so gorgeous all natural Sara." Gil confessed while he let his fingers comb through it. "I have always loved your curls."

"Really?" She asked him while a blush crept to her cheeks.

"Yes really." He answered her as her free hand came up to rest on his jaw. She ran her thumb over his beard.

"I really love your beard." She said to him. Gil noticed she looked a little shy, as she said that. "I have always loved beards, so when you grew yours, I was at loss." She confessed. After that he took a moment to relish in her touch.

"I really am sorry about the way I have been behaving." Gil told her. "I need you to know that. And I need you to remember that, and understand that I am trying to change." She only nodded her understanding. He kissed her palm again, just to let her know that he appreciated her silent understanding.

They used a bit of time just gazing into each other's eyes, getting use to the new experience, of being able to do it so freely. They still had their hand on the other's head, and he now moved his, to rest on her jaw. He began running his thumb along her cheekbone, as he felt that she was doing the same to him. It really was an indescribable feeling for him, that he was finally touching her face, and the feeling of her doing the same to him. He chanced running his thumb along her lower lip, and was almost knocked dizzy, just by the mere feeling of it. Her lip was so soft, and it looked so very much inviting. He noticed that Sara's eyes drifted to his own lips, just for a moment, before finding his again. Her chocolate eyes were filled with what he recognized to be longing. She must recognize the very same look in his eyes, since her eyes widened when they locked eyes again. A somewhat unspoken question lingered in the air, as well as in both sets of eyes, and without a word Sara scooted closer to him. 'Is this really going to happened?' Gil wondered as she settled down just inches from him.

"Are we really doing this?" Sara asked him. Apparently she had been thinking the same.

His answer came in form of a small nod of his head. A mutually pull had them both inch closer to each other, as each raised both of their arms, and put them around the other's neck. Gil felt lightheaded by her close proximity, her scent intoxicated him and he became momentarily dizzy. They sat there breathing in each other's air for a moment, before ever so slowly inching closer and closer, to finally brushing lips. Testing the waters, so to speak, before the grand finale. They got a few down before their lips found each other for good.

Gil suspected that neither of them was prepared for this experience. He sure felt this ultimate unexplainable feeling, when his lips was crushed against Sara's, and his arms was locked around her neck. It could perhaps be explained as thousands of lightening jolts, traveling from her body, through her lips to be send to every single nerve ending in his body. It sure felt that way to him. Her lips were so soft, and that was just the way, that he had expected them to be. Soft like the rest of her, as his hands went to her back to caress it. He felt hers doing much the same to him. After what seemed like ages, the need for air overtook other needs, they tore their lips from the other. Gulping for air, they touched foreheads, as they gazed lovingly into each other's eyes.

"That was incredible Gil." Sara finally said. She still sounded out of breath.

"Yes it sure was Sara." Gil had to agree with her.


I started using Gil here since it's nowligitime. In my standards. Starting shortly on chapter 9 andI can hardly believe that I got so far with this one.

Rewievs, rewievs, rewievs... Always a sucker for them.
