Chapter Seven
"A Riverside Dinner"
Deramus and Fiera held hands and swayed to the beat of the wind. They were both so glad to have some time away from the kids.
"How did the time with the children go Deramus?"
"Just fine. Me and Blackfire really opened up to each other. I've always felt like I really never knew her, until now."
"That's great honey."
They took a minute to enjoy the cool breeze before Deramus said, "So where shall we go my lady?" Deramus bowed.
Fiera giggled. "Wherever you will my knight." She curtsied.
They laughed and linked arms.
"How about going to the riverside for some of Gordando's finest? I hear that he just received some new dish from the visitors."
"That sounds delicious."
So the two walked on the dusty path to Gordando's hut, arms linked all the way. They were talking about some precious memories of their children growing up. Like the time that Anders fell of A log when he was one and just laughed and laughed and laughed. Or the time that Starfire took her first steps.
"Good times."
"Good times."
They entered Gordando's hut. Gordando was sitting in a chair chopping shrimp. He stood up when they entered.
"Well if it isn't my good friends, Deramus and Fiera! I was just chopping some shrimp that the Americans gave me. Come, please sit!"
"Actually, we were hoping to eat by the riverside, its kind of a special night.
"Oh, a little taste of love, eh?"
"Yeah."
"You will be seated in a flash!"
At that Gordando rushed out of the house, picked up a wooden table he had for storage, carried it a little ways out onto the beach, and placed it down. He then went back to get two chairs. He polished the table until it was so shiny it could blind. Then he placed a single white candle, two glasses, and a jug of some red liquid that Dearmus and Fiera couldn't decipher for on the table.
Gordando saw their confusion and said, "Oh, that's an earth beverage called 'wine'. It's an alcoholic drink, so use in moderation."
They both nodded.
"Please sit down, I will be bring your food in a moment."
With that he left for the hut.
The two sat down and talked. They talked about anything imaginable; like childhood experiences, children, fallen dreams, and they joked around.
"Oh my goodness, your mother actually pushed you and your brother outside and locked the door so she wouldn't have to put up with you until dinner? That's hilarious!"
She was laughing uncontrollably.
"Hey! It wasn't my fault my mother was stressful!"
"Did you ever ask for a glurros from your mother and then ask your father for one? I did that all the time! They obviously suspected something but they let it slide."
Just then Gordando came out with two beautifully set plates with piles of popcorn, coconut, and cocktail shrimp with a side of cocktail and lemon butter sauce .
"This looks delicious Gordando!"
"Thank you. Now I'll leave you two alone for ::elbows Deramus:: some festivities."
"Gordando!"
Fiera just laughed.
Gordando walked back to his hut, and as he did, he could have sworn he saw Fiera put her hand on Deramus's leg.
'This is going to be a wonderful night for last love.'
(Back at the Titans Tower.)
"How did you find all this out Star?"
"My mother informed me a few years after my father died."
"Go on, go on! This is getting good!"
"Well they were sitting at the table talking when all of a sudden my mother said……………………….
"Deramus, do you remember when we first met?"
"How could I forget? I was selling furros as a summer job and all of a sudden I saw a group of girls walking down the street. Sure they were all pretty, but one stood out among all the rest."
"Me."
"You. Then when you came up to ask me how much they were I spilled one on you!"
"I remember that! Then you started fumbling with napkins and they went all over."
"And then I finally built up the courage to say, '2 r-rentons.'"
"And then I bought one. You asked me if I wanted to see a movie next Saturday."
"And you said 'Of course I would!"
They laughed and talked about their first date and their first kiss that took place on their first date.
Fiera looked into Deramus's eyes and Deramus into Fiera's.
(This has been used in so many movies and such, but I thought it would be good to use.)
"Tell me how I did it again."
"Well, first you held my hand, and then we…….."
She trailed off as they fell into a kiss. Deramus decided to deepen it. (WARNING: There is nothing ahead!)
Their lips broke apart and they continued to eat, already doing what they both had wanted to do for such a long time.
"I can't eat anymore."
"Then we'll leave."
The two walked back to Gordando's hut, arm in arm. Gordando told them to go home, he'll pick up the dinner mess.
They started down the path to their hut holding hands and swaying.
Once they got home they found Deramus reading to Blackfire and Starfire. Everyone said a tearful goodnight to Deramus, knowing it would be their last.
"I love you family. I won't be here tomorrow, but don't hang onto the past for too long, never hang onto the past for too long."
"Daddy, will you read me a story?" asked Starfire.
"Sure."
They went into the two girl's room and tucked her in. He read he a famous Tamerainian fairy tail. She quickly fell asleep. Her kissed her on the forehead and said goodnight to his other two children, giving a hug to each.
Fiera was already in bed waiting for him. He crawled into bed, gave Fiera a kiss and snuggled up to her for the night.
"I love you Fiera, no matter what happens, remember that."
"I love you too."
And with that they snuggled up and went to sleep. They were peaceful together until morning came.
Authors Note: That was a little longer. I'm not that good at romance scenes. Read and Review, I can take fire if you can dish it out.
