Ok, finally here's the next chappie ) I know it's short, but I have a bit of a mental block on this story. Don't ask. March Break is coming up and maybe I can get some more chapters up. Till then, enjoy!
Chapter 4 – The Present
Kara slowly undid the bow. She was aware of George's stare. She felt herself go red; sure she had gotten many presents from all her friends, including George, in the past, but somehow, this sudden gift felt very different. She knew she was blushing furiously, she had felt the heat rising in her cheeks ever since he handed her the package. She unconsciously removed the cover of the box. As her gaze swept over its contents, she gasped. Her fingers were trembling considerably as she removed a pendant from the box. She gaped at George, and then looked at the necklace once more. The chain was of pure gold, she could tell. On the chain hung a jet black faerie, her upturned hands holding a spherical brilliant blue jewel with violet and greenish tints. Her wings flashed different colours, as the light hit the pendant. Kara looked up a George, disbelief vivid in her expression.
"How?" she started, stuttering, "Why... How can I accept this? George! This must have cost you a fortune."
"Do you at least like it?" George asked grinning.
"Yes, but... Why?"
"Oh that doesn't matter Kara. I wanted to buy you something you would like, and something you would always remember me by; something unique."
Kara looked up at him, removing the bangs that covered her eyes. A silent tear ran down her cheek. She hugged George tightly, burying her face in his shirt.
"Thank you." She whispered to him.
He gave her a tight squeeze, and they parted. He smiled.
"Aren't you going to put it on?"
She smiled widely and slipped the chain over her head. It fit perfectly.
"Suits you."
He said after a while. Kara shook her head at him and laughed. He was at a loss of words, she could tell.
"Maybe we should go... Upstairs, that is."
She nodded and took his hand. He led her back up the staircase. No one seemed to have noted their absence, except Fred, who smiled at them mischievously as they sat back down on the sofa.
So that's it folks. I'll update soon. Promise. Review PLZ! I don't beg! But I'm asking you nicely to please R&R. I like getting CONSTRUCTIVE criticism on my fics. Anywhoo, till next time! Bye... P
