Tess Talking
Chapter 5: The Proposal
Torn looked at himself in the mirror. He still couldn't see the difference a pair of tight blue jean pants and a white T-shirt could do to him. To him, he looked the same. According to Tess, she said that if she weren't married or an ottsel, she'd be after him as fast as when Krew ate his food, and that was fast. Torn grabbed the little black box with the ruby diamond in it. According to the jeweler, ruby diamonds are very rarest diamonds were in the world. The ring reminded him of Ashelin. It was as red and fiery as both her hair and temper. That was the only reason he had bought it. He then grabbed the mic piece and placed it in his ear. That way nobody could see it. He then put his new blue leather jacket on. I just hope this works. He thought, "Well here goes nothing." Yeah nothing. He thought.
Torn walked outside of his apartment and was about to get into his brand spanking new Freedom Fighter Cruiser when...
"TORN!" came a yell he recognized as Jinx's. Jinx came running around the corner and look scared shitless. "Torn you need to hide me!" yelled the pyromaniac
"What? Why?" asked a very confused Torn.
"It's...Jak...He's trying...to...to kill me." Jinx said as he tried to catch some air in his lungs.
"Fine, hide in my apartment." Torn said as he tossed his apartment keys to Jinx, who quickly caught them, opened and locked the door.
Torn got into his cruiser just as Jak's zoomer came around the corner. "Where is he?" Jak demanded
"Who?" Torn asked innocently
"Jinx, I wanna talk to him." Jak snarled out.
"Haven't seen him since my shopping spree with Tess." Torn said changing the subject
Jak's left eyebrow rose at that. "Shopping with Tess?" he asked
"Don't ask." Torn said with a look of regret on his face. "I haven't see him...Sorry Jak."
"Damn." Jak cursed
"It this about him and Keira?" Torn questioned
"Yeah." Jak replied
"Well I've got to go Jak." Torn said as he looked at his watch. "I'll talk to you later."
Okay." Jak said and turned his zoomer around and left.
Torn shook his head and yelled, "He's gone Jinx." Jinx came out of the apartment smoking a cigar and eating a yackow sandwich. "I'm leaving."
"Good luck!" yelled Jinx as Torn left.
Yeah, thanks. Torn though as he drove away.
Later
Torn walked up to the entrance of the palace and entered the main room and waited for Ashelin by the elevator. "Torn, this is Tess. Can you hear me?" asked the she-ottsel.
"Yes." he muttered quietly
"good, but from now on don't talk back to me." Tess said, "Ashelin may suspect something."
"Right." Torn answered
"The arrangements are done and finished." Tess said, "Now remember to dance with her."
"Fine." Torn muttered angrily
Suddenly the elevator doors opened. Ashelin walked out into the moonlight. Torn felt the air rush out of his lung with a whoosh sound and his throat closet up tight. She was beautiful, as always. She wore a tight low cut blouse with a loose blue and white skirt. "Good Evening Commander." she said formally
Oh boy he thought. "Ready?" he asked
"This better be good." she said "Or at least better that last year when you took me to the metal head fighting brawl."
"Yes, it's better." he replied with a smile. "Much better."
She turned and looked at him. Is he smiling? she asked herself. What the hell has he planned for tonight? As she tried to figure out what was going on she got into his cruiser. He started the cruiser up, placed it in the higher level and drove to the reentrant.
Suddenly two zoomers went by. One slamming into them. "What the hell?" asked Ashelin.
Torn laughed. "Looks like Jinx is on the run again."
"Why's that?" Ashelin asked
"Jak's trying to kill him for marrying Keira." Torn said with laughter in his voice.
"Should we help him?" Ashelin asked
"Jinx can take care of himself." Torn said looking at her, "Besides, tonight is your night."
Ashelin blushed at his response.
"Is she blushing? Tess asked Torn
"Uh-huh." Torn silently responded
"Good, bushing is very good." Tess said
The rest of the trip was uneventful. Torn pulled up to the entrance of the restaurant. Ashelin looked up to see where they were."Al Clame?" she asked, "Torn this place is expensive."
"You're point is?" Torn asked
By this point Ashelin was wondering if Torn had lost his mind or something. "This way madam, sir." said the host. "Tonight's special is yackow steak delicately cooked with fried onions and potatoes, which are mashed after separation with the steak. And for desert and lush ruby red strawberry cake, topped with strawberry ice cream and vanilla whip cream."
"Oh my, that sounds delicious Torn." Ashelin said, "I'll have that."
"Make that two specials." Torn said
"And for your drink?" asked the host
"White wine." Torn answered
"This place is so beautiful Torn and expensive." Ashelin said looked at the beautiful marble flooring and scarlet curtains. There were several painting of Haven Forest and moonlight nights by an ocean scene and several sunset paintings.
"Nothing's too much for you." Torn said
"Torn-" Ashelin began when suddenly the band began playing her song, 'My December'. She closed her eyes as she listened to the words. She had always loved that song.
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Torn stood up and walked over to her. "Would you like to dance m'lady?" Torn asked with a smirk on his face.
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
"I would be delighted kind sir." She replied.
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you feel like that
Suddenly, her hips jolted and swiveled in the opposite direction. Without thinking, his hips moved with hers and he was surprised that he managed to stay in sync with her. Apparently the words of the song had moved her to do more than dance and now she was actually corresponding with the lyrics, pouring her body over his, her arms reaching up and out so she could touch him where she could.
And I give it all away
Just to have
Somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
The angle of the light cast enticing shadows on their faces. He could still see her eyes despite the darkness, the way her arms lifted as her fingers tangled in her own hair, and movement of her lips as she sang the lyrics to the song. What exactly was she trying to do to him? Didn't she realize how she looked doing that? It may have been the lyrics, it may have been because they were tired for dancing so energetically through the entire song thus far, or it may have been because they had secretly wanted each other for so long a time, but no one in the crowd of dancers could possibly miss the intensity coming from both of them. The two were in love with each other and only with each other. The song was beginning to end.
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
Torn slowly pulled her torso upright, but she was so breathless that when their faces met nose to nose. Suddenly he kissed her. It was a slow, passionate kiss that left them both breathless. Forgetting where they were and what the plan had been. Torn got on one knee and said what was in his heart.
"Ashelin I've known you since the first day of my Academy Training, which was 15 years ago. And ever since I have been in love with you. I can't take my mind off of you." Torn said this never taking his eyes off of her. "When the war was on a few moths ago, I was worried about you when we lost contact with the main HQ. I wanted nothing more than to have you beside me. After the war was over I tried many times to tell you my feelings." He brought out the ring and placed it on her finger.
"Oh Torn." Ashelin was, for once, speechless.
"I love you Ashelin Marie Praxis and I would love nothing more than to have you as my wife." Torn said nervously, "I promise I will protect you and go out of my way for you. But most importantly, I'll always love you as long as live. Will you marry me?"
"Commander Torn." she began.
Here it comes, the rejection. he thought
"I would be a proud , to be your wife and partner for life." she said with a smile. Torn picked her up and kissed her lips. The loving kiss turned into a powerful passionate kiss, which left them both longing for more. "You know this is just the beginning." she said
"What do you mean?" he asked
"We have months of planning the wedding and..." she said
"And?" he asked
"Planning our future." she finished with a smile
"Sounds like a new mission." he said
"Yeah, only this one is a lifetime mission." She replied
"Sounds like my kind of mission." He said as she closed the gap between their lips on more time...
