Chapter 3~ Elves
The next morning came rather quickly for Legolas. After all, he never slept, for he didn't need it like mortals. He quietly slipped out of the bed, trying not to wake Aragorn or Gimli, who lay peacefully snoring on the sofa. He smiled and slipped out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
He strolled down the stairs and saw his clothing lying on the coffee table, clean and neatly folded. Legolas picked up his blue tunic and threw it on over the shirt Kayla had lent him before taking it off and folding it neatly on the table. He then picked up his blue leggings and pulled them on quickly, hoping that no one would come out of their bedrooms. Legolas suddenly heard a door creak open, so he lay down on the couch and pretended to be asleep.
Kayla walked out of her room in a pair of tight black pants that bunched up around the waist and a halter top, red Harley Davidson shirt. She saw blonde hair flowing over the side of the couch, so she walked over and looked at Legolas. He appeared to be asleep, but Kayla knew better. She knelt down in front of him and put her face within an inch of his. She looked at his eyelids and relaxed her body.
Minutes passed, and Legolas hadn't moved at all. He was so still, so peaceful. /God he's cute/ Kayla thought to herself as she gazed over his features. She waited patiently for him to open his eyes, knowing he was faking it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Legolas had no idea that she knew of Elven sleeping habits. He lay as still as possible and breathed normally. The elf could sense that she was close to him, but he didn't know how close. /Well, I guess it's time to wake/ he thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kayla watched Legolas' eyes begin to flutter and an evil smile crossed her lips. When his eyes fully opened, he jumped in shock. His heart was racing like a maniac. "Mani nae lle umien (What have you been doing)?" he asked. Kayla sat down on the floor and laughed hysterically. His face when he opened his eyes was incredibly priceless. This elf was too easy to play jokes on. "I asked what you have been doing," Legolas said again.
"Just having a good laugh, my Lord. You actually thought that I believed you were asleep?" It was more of a statement than a question. "How did you know I was awake?"
"I know more about elves than you think," Kayla began, "For instance, I know you sleep with your eyes open."
"Well.just because you know that, doesn't mean you know everything."
"Wanna bet?" Kayla asked sportingly.
"Not really."
"That's because you know that I will kick your ass." Legolas stood up and crossed his arms. Kayla gave him a puzzled look until he spoke, "A woman should not have a language of that color."
"I'm sorry, but that's how I speak."
"Whatever you say, my lady," Legolas replied as he continued to stare at her. Kayla was beginning to feel uncomfortable, so she walked past him and into her kitchen. She took out a frying pan from a drawer and placed it on the stove. Legolas walked over to Kayla and hovered over her shoulder. "What are you making?"
"Breakfast of course.most likely bacon and eggs. That okay with you?"
"Never tried it before." Kayla turned around after turning the stove on and smirked. "You've never tried the traditional American breakfast?" The elf shook his head. "Aw.poor elfy," Kayla said in a baby voice as she pinched his cheeks.
"Hey.don't touch the cheeks."
"Why not? Did you just get a facial?" Kayla asked with a laugh as she soaked the inside of the pan with butter.
"Facial?"
"Never mind, Leggy," she replied as she walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out some bacon and a carton of eggs. As she made her way back over to the stove and placed the bacon in the pan, she smelled something burning. "What's that horrid stench? It smells like I burnt my hair with an iron.hair?" Her eyes glanced over to Legolas and saw that the tips of his hair were on fire. "LEGGY! YOUR HAIR!" she yelled as she dove under the sink and pulled out the fire extinguisher.
"What the-?"
"HOLD STILL!" Kayla yelled as she turned it on and white spray went flying at Legolas. He started coughing and turning around. When the fire was out, Kayla took a good look at Legolas. He looked like the Ghost of Christmas Past. She lifted a hand to her mouth and laughed.
"What's all the como-" Aragorn began as he and Gimli came running into the kitchen, having heard the screams. He and Gimli held back their laughter and looked at the ground to avoid cracking. "Oh, go ahead and laugh!" Legolas yelled, raising his arms up into the air.
"Alright then," Gimli said quickly before letting all his laughter out.
"That's enough!" Legolas yelled, interrupting Gimli's good time.
"What happened here?" Aragorn asked. Kayla walked over to Legolas and lifted up a piece of his hair. "Well, I was cooking and the elf caught his hair on fire. I had to hose him to save the hair."
"Well.Miss Sparrow.what am I going to do now?" Legolas asked.
"Go and wait in the bathroom. I'll be right in to help you." He did as he was told and slammed the door behind him. "Aragorn, Gimli.there's bacon on the stove," Kayla said as she shut the stove off, "So, help yourselves. I've got a couple cups of orange juice on the counter over there. Enjoy and I'll be back."
"Where are you going?" Gimli asked. Kayla motioned her head toward the bathroom door and the dwarf nodded his head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Legolas sat down on the side of the tub and stared at the floor. This was the third time within a day that Kayla had gotten him.even if this time it was an accident.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kayla suddenly came into the bathroom and saw Legolas sitting on the tub, obviously depressed. She shut the door and silently walked over to him, sitting on the floor in front of him. "Legolas, I'm sorry."
"Third time.third time within a day!"
"I apologize, my Lord. It was the only way to save your hair and you."
"And this is what you call saving it?" Legolas asked, pointing at his head. Kayla bowed her head to the ground and then looked up at the elf again. He looked angry, but there was a hidden emotion in his eyes. "Legolas, I wish I could make this up to you."
"Oh, but you can," he replied, lifting her chin higher so she was looking directly into his eyes.
"How?" she asked. Legolas simply smiled and took a clump of the white foam into his hands. A sly smile crossed his lips as he stood up. Kayla stood up too and crossed her arms. "And what do you think you're gonna do-? Oh crap!"
"I would say so," the elf stated as he rubbed his hands in her clean hair. A slight scream escaped her lips as she looked at him in astonishment. He was smiling genuinely and laughing quietly. "You little." Before Kayla realized what she had done, she tackled him and they both fell into the tub, turning the on the water as they fell.
Ice cold water splattered down on their bodies and Kayla was the only one who screamed. Legolas held her down and let the water drench her from head to toe. She screamed again and then turned over so her chest was against Legolas'. He was smiling contently at his prank and noticed that Kayla's frown had also become a smile.
BANG!
The door to the bathroom flew open and Aragorn and Gimli came running in. "What's happening here? We heard.oh." Gimli cut himself off when he saw Kayla lying on top of Legolas in the bathtub, soaking wet. Aragorn's eyes widened and he covered his mouth in shock. "It's not what it looks like! We were just.well.Legolas.he.oh, never mind!" Kayla stammered out as she stood up and got out of the tub.
"Well, Legolas.looks like you were having some fun with the lady."
"Silence, Gimli! It was an accident. I played a joke on Miss Sparrow and we fell, hitting the faucet on the way down," Legolas said as he stood up and stumbled out of the tub. Aragorn nodded his head and he and Gimli left the room, shutting the door behind them.
Kayla looked at Legolas and shrugged. She then picked up a towel and wrapped it around her soaked body. "Did you not feel that water or something? You didn't even flinch!"
"Arwenamin (My lady), I'm an elf. We don't get cold easily like mortals. We can sometimes feel it, but it doesn't affect us much," Legolas said with a smile.
"It must be great to be of Elven blood then. You may use this to dry off," Kayla said as she handed him a towel, "If you stand outside in the backyard, you'll dry off fairly quickly with the help of the sun." As Kayla started to leave, she felt something strange spread through her veins, so she stopped before she opened the door. She could feel eyes watching her back.Elven eyes. What was extremely weird was that she had felt the same type of eyes watching her once before. Kayla exhaled slowly and opened the door, leaving Legolas alone.
