I'm back! It's been awhile, huh? Yes, I totally forgot about this story, until the recent review, so now I'm working once again!

Chapter 10: I must…

Sheba and Felix stood next to Piers, wondering to see such a pleasant smile on his face. Felix laughed a bit and softly kicked the sand to hit Piers to bring him back to reality.

Was he drunk? He looks like he had been drinking for quite awhile…his face looks messy.

"Piers? What's up? Why are you-" Felix eyes grew wide when Piers magically appeared standing straight in front of him, with so many tears spilling from his gentle blue eyes.

"Oh Felix! You never knew how much I missed you! I missed you so much!"

"Eh? Piers, what's with you?" questioned Sheba, tilting her head to the side, coming toward him, and patting him with gently on the back, "Did someone make you cry? You looked like you were crying…"

"Sheba! Felix! Piers!" called a high voice from behind. Felix turned to see Mia, waving one of her arms toward them, the other pointing at a different direction. "Come! Come! Let's eat! I prepared fire and I was able to catch some fish!"

"Mia? Mia!" Piers ran to Mia with top speed to catch up to her. Felix heard Piers' faint voice, "I missed you so much! I really missed you so much! I want to cook! Let me cook…" and trailed off.

Felix motioned Sheba to follow him after Piers, but Sheba remain where she was and began to see the sun set so calmly.

"Felix…Felix… I-I-I apologize…I-I-I d-didn't mean to d-do that..."

Felix grinned, "No, don't apologize. You already did and I said it was alright."

Flashback

Felix woke up to see Sheba in his arms, fast asleep. She breathed softly like a small, sleeping child in a mother's arms. Felix, now feeling much better and now wide awake, ran his fingers through the golden threads of her hair.

She's so adorably cute when she sleeps.

He then gazed his eyes onto the ocean's surface. The colors red, orange and yellow blended and spilled on the waters from the setting sun.

It's beautiful, thought Felix, and by guessing I guess the days are almost over. Hmm? Felix stretched his neck forward, Jenna and the others aren't in the water? I guess they're doing something else now. But, he tilted his head, where are they? I guess they're on the other side of that fat rock which splits the beach. I better wake up Sheba so we can all have fun together…

He shook Sheba gently on the shoulders. She woke up easily and three seconds later, she leaped off him and turned around, her face red as a cherry,

"I'M SORRY! I-I-I- didn't mean to – I mean- it was all so sudden! I was walking to check if you were ok, b-b-but something was on the way and I tripped and, uh…uh…um… I got to go!" She turned to run.

Without thinking, he grabbed her arms before she could even take a step, "Sheba," he said, " Sheba it's alright."

Sheba froze when she felt her arms tight with his hands. She replied quietly, "It-it was alright?" Her voice rose, "How could it be 'alright' of what I just did? It isn't! It's-it's," then her voice softened, "it was…weird…"

Felix released his hands to free Sheba, expecting her to run away, crying perhaps, but she didn't. She remained where she was and turned herself around and gently looked in his eyes.

"Felix…"

"Yes, Sheba?"

"Felix, look around. No one's here…"

"I know that."

"Remember? Before we came here, there was something that I must tell you…this…this seems like the right time for me to tell you-"

"Ah! What the? What's that?" Felix pointed his arms to a figure, lying motionless on the sand.

End of Flashback

"Once I think about it, I should be the one apologizing," laughed Felix, "I was the one who interrupted you."

"No, that's ok. I mean, if you just listened to me without noticing Piers, who on Weyard knows what will become of him?"

"I guess you're right, but it was still rude that I disrupted you. So, I'm sorry." He smiled.

She smiled back, "You're forgiven. But now that were alone again, can I tell you something?"

"Yes? What is it?"

"Felix…I…I…want to…all this time that I traveled with you…. I never told you this…."

A little suspension there. Be back later with more fun ideas! You do not have to review, but please keep reading! Your support can help me continue this story. Thank you!
