Chapter V

Ok, first KA fic so try not to bite much!! and yes of course! I dont own any of the characters used in this story (even if I would love to, well alright maybe I hide Gawain in my closet but thats cause he ask me to!)except for Brianna whos property of Pinkie and I

Brianna could hardly breath. Having him so close to her was clouding her thoughts slowly. Nothing made sense to her: she wasn't sure if he was teasing her or if he was serious about it. Of course I want to feel your hands caressing me, of course I want you to kiss me passionately, of course I want you.

"What is the matter?" Gawain said lifting her chin so now she was facing him. "Don't you want me?"

She was speechless for the second time in a day and she hated it. She wished she could said something but it was impossible for her so instead she nodded. That was all Gawain needed to come forward and kissed her passionately..........

"Did you just hear what I said?" Gawain asked a little concerned. She was looking at him quite odly.

"Yes, nothing like that will ever happen between us. After all you have your wrench to satisfy your needs." she said coldly as she turned around and left the room. Brianna felt terrible as she walked through the yard into the forest.Of course it will never happen! How on earth he will want you when he has so many beautiful women around him at all time? How stupid can you be?.

Gawain stood were he was. She gave him no time to react. She sounded hurt but he was no sure if it was about their previous conversation with Galahad or because she indeed had feelings for him and he and his big mouth had hurt her with his last comment. For once I hope she's angry about the teasing. All I wanted was to find a way to let her know how I feel about her but again, it went terrible. But why did she looked at me that way? What was she thinking about?. He tought as he changed clothes and went outside to find Galahad.

What was I thinking? Is that what I want him to do? To hold me close and kissed me as if I was the only woman left in this island? she thought as she reached the forest. Brianna felt better once she found a tree big enough to hold her weight: she liked to feel the nature around her, to breath the scent of the wild trees....

"I believe we have a problem. It's time for me to have some rest and you are on my favorite tree"

"It's a shame but now I need this tree more than you do so why dont you go and find another?" she replied angrily without even opening her eyes to see to whom the voice belonged.

"What did he do this time?"

He? what is he talking..."Tristan!" Brianna said quickly "Im sorry! I didnt recognized your voice. I can find another tree if you want". How could I? the scout barely speak to me or to anyone else!

"No need to do that. You didn't answer to my question." he said as he sat next to her on the branch. "And better do it fast or we will fall into the ground"

Brianna laughed at this. Since when he's the funny type? "How do you know it's about Gawain?" she asked still confused and surprised by his words.

"I just know. I see you here often and most of the time you seemed upset. Even hear you talking in some extrange language I cannot understand yet."

"Its not always about him. I have other things in mind. Its just he can get very annoying sometimes. I wish I could understand what is he thinking or feeling" she said glad he could not understood the Woad language.

"That's impossible to do. Humans are complicated creatures." Tristan said while looking at her. His messy hair hiding the extrange tatoos on his cheeks. They had always fascinated Brianna for some unknown reason, actually all about him fascinated her: he was always quiet and apart from the rest. He spent most of the time with his hawk and eating apples! yes, no matter where they were he always had an apple to eat. He made her nervous every time he peeled the fruit with his knife.

"No, not humans. Men are complicated ones."

Tristan laughed softly "It depends of how you looked at it. Personaly I think both men and women are complicated creatures. It seems impossible to find a way to understand each other without complications." Brianna smiled

"Can I ask you something?" Tristan nodded "Do you think theres a chance he can find me beautiful and even more extrange, that he can have feelings towards me?" she asked without looking at him. She knew that even if he didnt speak much he was always watching and probably he was the one who knew them better.

"Why it will be strange? You are a fair woman and for what I know you are akind and brave person. There's no reason for him not to be atracted to you" Brianna smiled to him in reply "If you said all that because he is around many women and bedded them you should think about it. He might do it but maybe the reason why he doesn't behave like that with you is because he truly cared for you and he doesn't want to hurt you. Im sure you are speacial to him and soon he will find the courage to tell you how he feels about you."

Brianna looked at him amazed. It was the longest conversation she had had with Tristan in years. She never imagined he could understand her so well. "That will take him a while and I truly don't know how long can I leave like this."

"Then the answer is simple: go and tell him how you feel about him."

"Alright Tristan! you talking to me and giving me advice about love is insane but telling me to go and confess my feelings is even insaner! Do you want him to laugh in my face?"

He grinned "If he laughs in your face, wich Im sure he wont, he is ideed a fool." Tristan gave her a smile and jump into the ground. "Time to go hunting. A pleasure to speak with you little one."

Brianna watched him as he walked further into the forest. He was indeed a strange man but for her no longer that extrange: she had the chance to met a different Tristan, a Tristan who was friendly and concerned about others. Maybe hi's right. I should go and tell him how I feel instead of waiting for him. But why if I'm wrong and he doesn't feel the same way? even better! Why if my mind decide to played games with me like earlier today?......
