Chapter 4

The next few days were contributed to making Raoul and Buri's wedding the best ever (after Jon's and Thayet's.)

Kel was still quite happy in the way situations were going and spent most of her time mostly with Dom.

After dinner, Kel and Dom went to Raoul's chambers to help him in discussing the plans for the wedding.

"I really don't see why I should be here. I have no experience with wedding what so ever. Why does it really matter what shape the cake is? I could just make the simple ones I make when I go on long journeys." Kel said to Dom.

"Well my dear." Dom said putting his arm on her shoulders as they walked down the hall "I don't really think that your cakes would be splendid enough to have at a wedding. -Don't glare at me- and also they think that your dress style is fantastic. If I say so myself" Dom said Kel punched him in the shoulder playfully but Dom grabbed her fist and shook his finger at her "Now my girl. You should not do not to your elders" Dom said with a mischievous grin on his face.

"You're just as bad as Neal, with your silly remarks. After all, you both have the same kind of brain." Kel said back.

"I am going to act like a man and don't wish to respond on your last comment. I am just going to ignore it" Dom stood taller and pushed his chest out.

"Well, I am going to act like a lady and I wish to say that you just didn't have a comment to resort to. Therefore I was right" Kel said and she stood taller and looked turned so she was now face to face with Dom who had also moved to look straight at her. They stood staring like that until Dom finally broke the silence

"Has anyone told you how lovely your eyes are?" Dom said bringing his finger and tracing it along her cheek.

"Only one person said it a million times before." Kel smiled and put her arms around his neck and added "That person is someone you know"

"Mmm" Dom put his arms around her waist so now they were in each others embrace.

Dom touched his lips with hers and felt the hesitation from Kel. He looked into her eyes. Only when Kel added her passion as he did, did he deepen the kiss. Dom started to fumble around for Kel's buttons of her shirt when she broke away.

"Dom, not here." Kel said urgently

"How's about we skip the meeting and go to our rooms?"

"But Raoul..."

"I thought you don't want to go anyway."

They rushed to their rooms. When they entered Dom locked the door then picked Kel up and placed her firmly on the bed.

Dom lay down next to her "What would happen if I asked you if you would like to come as my date to the wedding? It won't be anything serious, you know just so I can talk to someone and -"

"Well, I would accept. I also would like someone to talk to." Kel said her eyes sparkling

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Dom jumped and Kel jumped off the bed at scurried to the desk to like as if she was working. Dom went to the door and when Kel was ready opened it.

"Hello Dom." A familiar voice said. Raoul walked in. seeing Kel at her desk and guessing what might have been happening just moments before, he added, "I hope I was not interrupting anything"

"Not at all. We were just talking."

"I didn't see you both at the meeting. But then I knew it probably be very boring" Raoul smiled at the two of them.

"So, feeling excited old man? Tomorrow you'll be joined to a lovely lady, yet you look like you have just been run over by a pack of horses." Dom said ignoring what had just been said.

Trying to make the matter friendly he added, "If I were to marry someone I loved I would feel very happy." Dom said avoiding Kel's eye, which would have killed someone if it could.

"I'm fine. I don't know why you are so worried about me" Raoul said trying to smile.

Dom looked at Kel who put a questioning look on. "We were just about to start a game of chess and Kel wasn't to interested to play anyway so, could I take you on?"

Raoul's face brightened up straight away "You're on" he said

Kel knew Dom did not like to play chess and was not very good at it anyway she straight away looked up and mouthed "You don't like Chess."

Dom put a look on his face (A/N: The one a friend of mine makes.) that meant it doesn't matter.

As the night went on Dom was losing (like usual) and Raoul was just going to say Check Mate when Kel stood up from the desk and sat on the bed and watched the to play.

"Seriously Dom, you can keep up a good fight with swords, yet with a simple game you lose so easily" Kel said cheekily

"It's not that simple. Here you just have to use your brain a little bit more which my sergeant probably can't handle that well" Raoul said with a smile on his face

Dom looked at both of them "It is really hard. And plus Raoul probably is one of the best chess players anyway"

Raoul chuckled then looked at the candle in the corner.

"It's getting late, I'm sorry I kept you here when I am sure you have better things to do"

"Actually I enjoyed myself and I was taught a lesson" Dom said

"And what was that?" Kel asked already guessing what the reply would be

"Never to go against Raoul in a chess game" Dom said with a hurt look on his face

"I will see you in the morning only unless you sleep in because of some reason" Raoul said smiling at the two lovers

When the door had closed Kel sat down at the chair Raoul had just left. Dom said

"You know how Raoul said that we have better things to do, I suggest we get into it otherwise we might be disobeying orders."

"And I know the perfect place." Kel stood up and came around to Dom she grabbed his hand "Come" she dragged Dom outside and closed the door behind them.

"Where exactly are we going?" Dom asked

"Wait and see!"

She led him until they were well away from the fort and under the stars. She plopped herself on the ground and started into the stars. "Don't you think that it is beautiful?"

"The most beautiful thing I have ever seen" Dom replied. Kel looked up seeing where he was looking, laughed.

"I mean the stars, silly."

"I guess I had better join you there to experience it myself"

Dom lay down next to Kel and Kel put her head on his chest.

"To tell you the truth, the stars do not shine as brightly as the one which touches my heart with her white smooth hands." Dom said dreamily

"You're just as bad as Neal with his soppy poems. From that piece I gather that you are seeing some other girl. Probably that one from Grasich." She sat up and turned away and put a wicked grin on her face.

A hand touched her shoulder. "You really are a remarkable girl, you know that Kel."

"I'm not remarkable Dom, just normal." Kel turned so that now the were face to face

"You can hold my hand. It is so smooth and white." She said on the verge of laughter. She could still see the scars from the griffin and working in New Hope had given her a bit of a tan

Kel lay back down and Dom sat up and stared intently at Kel. Kel's eyes were sparkling in the moonlight.

"What are you going to do after the wedding?" Dom asked. He shifted position so that now they lay side by side

"I guess I had not really thought about it too much. I really want to go to New Hope and see how everything is going. We might still see each other around, sometimes"

"I'll ask Raoul about where the Kings Own will be going after. We might have a break because of the wedding."

They stared into the stars just lucky that they were here together.

All right? I know not many of you read this really story of mine but if you do get past this chapter and have just read this, please review so then I know how many people are actually reading this.
