Chapter VI

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 returned slowly to her chambers. She was not sure if she wanted to face Gawain but she knew she cannot hide for long, after all they share the same room and most likely he will be back to take a bath after sword practice with Galahad before going to the tavern to met that wrench of Faola. I wonder if it will be possible for her to get lost in the forest one day and get killed by Saxons or Woads! she thought smiling as she opened the door and entered.

"All I need now is a nice hot bath and something to eat!" she said in her own Woad language. Brianna dropped the heavy winter cloak onto the floor. The extrange sound that it made when it reached the floor made her look down: there was also a shiny red apple next on top of it. She smiled wondering how did Tristan managed to put an apple in the pocket of Gawain's old cloak.

She gave the apple a bite and started undressing. Her grey dress was not as pretty as she wished but the truth was she didn't really cared: she hated dresses. How women can like this clothes? its more confortable to wear trousers and leather jerkings! well, maybe the jerking is not that confortable because it cause a lot of trouble when it comes to breath! she laughed. Her clothes were somehow more confortable but they weren't perfect. She still remembered how she liked to wore Gawain's clothes when she first arrived, well they were Galahad's because Gawain's were big for her, until Lancelot had the great idea of sugesting she should were more femenine clothes!

"What's so funny?"

Brianna froze inmediately. Oh my! Gawain? alright, remain calm. Remain calm? and pretend that you don't actually care about been naked in front of him!? why this happen to me? "Nothing in particular" she said as she turned to him. "Would you mind handing me the cloak that's next to you?"

"And why would I do that?" he smiled noticing she was clearly nervous.

"Why?! Gawain! don't make walk and get it myself!"

"Be my guest. Actually you will allow me to have a better view of your beautiful body if you come closer." he said with a grin. In fact he was telling the truth, he could seen her from where he was standing but he really wanted her to come closer. She was more beautiful that he had expected her to be.

"Fine! and better give a good look at it because it's the last time you will!" she said coming closer and picking up the cloak. She could felt his eyes all over her as she placed the cloak around her shoulders wrapping herself in it but she didn't mind, she really liked to recieve this much atention from him. "Alright, now that I have your atention would you be so kind to listen to me for just a moment? I don't want you to say a sinlge word until Im done. Then you can laugh if you want." This is it. Better tell him now or I will hate myself forever for been such a coward!

"I'm listening. You have all my atention Bri."

"Not a word" she said as she came closer pointing her index finger at him "Years have passed since the first time we met in the woods and I must say I never expected to reach this point. Im not the kind of person who trust easily on another but even today is really hard for me to understand why I trusted you with my most intimate thoughts, fears and secrets. All I know is Im glad I did because I made a wonderful friend and I feel very lucky to have you . But now as the days pass I no longer feel lucky.......because during the years not only our relationship has changed...... my feelings towards you have change as well. I thought it was just temporary but every time it get worst: I cannot longer be around you and not have your atention, I cannot be around you when other women come close to you, I cannot ignore the fact that I'm not the only one in your life when I see you kissing them.....I cannot longer deny I love you.......I always stood on my own until you entered my life, I was strong and never fearful.....now I feel weak, needy of your protection and afraid that something might happen to you...afraid this might be our last day together and we waste it because I could never found the right words to express my feelings....but now I know I only needed to say I love you." Brianna closed her eyes and waited silently for an answer not wanting to looked at him, afraid he might made fun of her.

Gawain remained silent for a while. His heart beating wildly while his mind still tried to fully understand what she had said. Whats wrong with you? say something quick but not something stupid....be honest for once in your life! she loves you! oh my! she loves you!. Without knowing where to start he took Brianna's hand and with his free hand he lifted her chin carefully as if she could break. Brianna opened her eyes and waited for the worst to come.

"Forgive me if I have been a fool. I never knew until now how you feel about me and to be honest I regret more than ever not to be brave enough to admit how I felt about you. I never thought I could be more than a friend to you so that's why I treated you as if you were one of my fellow knights. I know it's not an excuse and it's even wrong but every time I was with those women I could only think about you....I wanted so badly to be with you that I imagined you were those women. All I ever wanted was to keep you safe and took care of you but sometimes it seemed like you didn't needed me at all.....but now I know I was to stupid to realized that all you wanted was the oposite. I'm sorry I was such a fool but I was so afraid.....afraid to say something that might make you go away from me....we might waisted a few years but we are not to late to start a new life together......I don't think there's any other woman more beautiful, kind, fun and brave than you.....to my eyes you are perfect, you are my little wild beauty. There's no way I could laugh at you for telling me you love me because in that case you will have to laugh at me as well for telling you I love you."

Brianna couldn't believe what she just hear, maybe her mind was playing games with her again.... but no, no games this time.......it was real and yes, he love her back. They didn't say another word, the joy they both felt could be read in each others eyes and unable to control the overwhelming feeling they kissed for the first time. In their sweet but passionate kiss they both expressed what cannot longer be put in words and let passion took over them. Nothing else matters now besides their love for each other...........
