Chapter 6~ Friends and Kisses Come to Call
The bright sunlight shone through the window of Kayla's bedroom. She opened her eyes slowly and stretched. It felt so good to have a night of sleep for a change. She reached over and looked at the clock. "Eight o'clock? Oh shit! I wonder what trouble the guys are in now," she said to herself as she stood up and slipped on her red slippers. She pulled up her black satin nightgown and then threw her robe on over it.
When she left her room and walked down the hall, she heard voices...women's voices. /Oh no! / she thought as she ran into the living room. As she predicted, there were four women on her couch. Three of them were sitting in terror, while the other was sound asleep. Aragorn and Legolas had arrows pointed at them and Gimli had his axe gripped tight in his hands. "Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli," she said in almost a whisper, "What in God's name are you doing?"
"These lasses slipped into your house last night," the dwarf replied gruffly, "We're protecting ya." Kayla laughed as she walked in between her new companions and her old friends. "These are my girls...no worries. They're not the enemy," she said as she lowered Aragorn's longbow. Gimli put his axe to his side, but Legolas kept his weapon in place.
Kayla turned to face her friends. One of them had long and wavy red hair. She was wearing a tight pink tank top and blue jeans. The girl sitting next to her had short black hair and brown eyes. She wore a long-sleeved tan shirt and black pants. The other two girls were identical twins, one with short brown hair and one with long brown hair. They both had blue eyes. The one who was awake had a red tube top on with short black shorts and the other wore a black tube top with long black pants. "What are you guys doing here?" Kayla asked.
"Well, we came home late and n-needed a place to spend the night," the red- head stated clearly.
"Melinda-" Kayla began.
"And where did these men come from? You told me there was no one staying here!" Kayla hung her head for a moment and then looked at the black- haired girl. "They look like the characters from Lord of the Rings," she said matter of factly.
"Alana, they ARE from Lord of the Rings." The other girl began to laugh hysterically while her twin slept. "And what may I ask is so funny?" Kayla asked.
"Kay, sweetie, honey," Alyssa began, "You've been watching that movie WAY too many times. I think we need to get you some help and fast before you think you're one of them."
"Shut up!" Kayla yelled as she took a glance at the sleeping twin, "Kat...Kat, you awake?" She gave no answer. Kayla stepped up next to her and shook her shoulder. The girl just groaned. "Okay, the gloves are coming off!" Kayla yelled as she touched the back of Kat's neck. The girl jumped awake in shock, screaming, "COLD HANDS!"
"Well, you wouldn't wake," Kayla replied with a slight smiled.
"Anyway," Kat began until she caught sight of the elf with an arrow pointed at her. Before she realized what she had done, she shrieked in a high- pitched voice. "NAZGUL!" Legolas shouted as he released the arrow. Luckily, it missed her head and flew into the couch cushion. Kat continued to scream until her twin clamped a hand over her mouth. Kayla ran over to Legolas and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Legolas, she is NOT a Nazgul. She's my friend, Kat."
"But she shrieks as they do and wears their color," the elf whispered. Kayla stood on her toes and whispered something back, but no one could hear her except him. His face relaxed and he swung his bow over his shoulder. Kat stood up and crossed her arms. "You are damn lucky you didn't kill me with this!" she shouted.
"Kat, he doesn't understand our customs. Cut him some slack, will ya?"
"Hell no! The bastard almost fucking shot me and he's NOT Legolas! Legolas doesn't exist."
"But he didn't shoot you...did he? And he DOES EXIST!" Kayla asked as she glared back at her friend, "And you had better treat my guests with respect."
"Aw, you going out with him now?"
"Shut the fuck up!" Kayla shouted back. Legolas quickly turned Kayla around and gripped her shoulders firmly. He looked into her eyes sternly. "Tula sinome (Come here)," Legolas whispered as he led her back to her bedroom and shut the door behind them.
"What are you doing?" Kayla asked.
"Lady Kayla, I do not need you to stand up for me."
"But she-"
"I know...I know," Legolas said as he strolled over to her and sat her down on the bed, "She may not have had the right to open her mouth, but you certainly should relax."
"Leggy, you don't know what she's capable of."
"I can handle myself. I am after all 2,931 years old," he replied with a smile.
"Amin rangwa (I understand), Legolas," Kayla said quietly, "And I'm sorry." Legolas lifted her chin so their gazes met again. "You only did what you thought was best. I'm not angry." Kayla quickly embraced Legolas and rested her head on his shoulder. She smiled against him when she felt his arms encircle her and rub her back gently. When she broke the embrace and looked at the elf, he held out his hand to her. "Let's go back out there."
"Okay," Kayla replied as she took his hand and he walked her back into the living room. To both of their surprise, everyone else was talking civilly. Gimli was sitting on the floor laughing at Melinda. "And you lasses just decided to come over and spend the night without notice? What kind of manners are those?" the dwarf asked with a laugh. Everyone seemed to be so into each other that they didn't even notice Kayla and Legolas return to the room. "I guess we're no needed here," Kayla whispered.
"I agree, and I need to talk to you anyway," the elf replied as he led her upstairs and into his room. He shut the door and looked over to see Kayla sitting on a chair with her hands folded. She looked like a child about to be punished. Legolas strolled over to her and knelt down in front of her. "I want to know what's been troubling you," he whispered, pushing her loose hair behind her ear.
"Legolas, it's nothing. I can assure you of that," Kayla replied. She kept her eyes to the ground and began breathing unsteadily. Legolas put a hand under he chin and lifted her gaze to meet his. "You were so angry when you came home. You mentioned your father and Aragorn knowing each other. Mani marte (What happened)?"
"I...I...I don't know, Legolas. Everything is just falling apart on me and I can't stand the crap anymore."
"Can you at least explain it to me?" the elf asked as he lowered his hand to her shoulder and rubbed it gently.
"I guess I could," Kayla replied as she glanced up and saw Legolas smiling at her. She felt weak every time she looked at him and it made her uncomfortable. /What am I thinking? He's an elf, and royalty at that. This won't work for me./ She took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling before even daring to look upon Legolas again.
"Well, my father kicked me out of my house when I was sixteen and I had to fend for myself. I just broke up with my boyfriend," Kayla said, tears beginning to run down her face, "Because he beat me. He did illegal things and I never really had good friends besides the ones you met." Kayla buried her head in her hands and cried softly. Legolas watched her tremble as more tears ran down her face and felt terrible. This innocent young woman had a troubled father and no real life.
He gently took her in his arms and rested his head on her shoulder. She only cried more as the elf slowly rubbed her back with his hands and allowed her to cry on his tunic. She was violently shaking and continued to cry for another few minutes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kayla felt hopeless. Her life was so stressful and now she was pouring out her problems and revealing her darkest secrets to an elf that she met just the other day. He was a fictional character in a book/movie. How was it possible that she could be held in his arms?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Legolas held Kayla until her crying almost ceased. She was finally beginning to relax and her breathing was calming as his grip tightened. Kayla suddenly realized that she was pressed firmly against Legolas. When she cautiously looked up, she met the most beautiful pair of blue eyes staring back at her. She then glanced down to where her face had been resting. There was a rather large wet spot on his tunic. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have-"
"Arwenamin (My lady), you have done nothing wrong," Legolas whispered back.
"I should take your tunic and clean it for you. I do not wish for my tears to stay with you," Kayla said as she reached to the collar of his blue tunic and unclasped it. She gently worked her way down until she had it fully undone. Underneath, she witnessed the most brilliant sight she had ever seen. Legolas had a well-sculpted chest that was definitely a sight for sore eyes. Kayla couldn't help but stare until she noticed that Legolas saw her staring. She abruptly turned away and blushed. "Arwenamin (My lady)?" he asked as he lifted her chin to meet his gaze again.
"Y-Yeah?" Kayla asked hesitantly.
"May I kiss you?" Kayla gaped at his question. "May I, my lady?" She could only nod in response. Legolas gently brought her lips to his and kissed her softly, as if she was inexperienced. Kayla trembled slightly at this and rested her arms on his shoulders. His tunic still hung on his shoulders, but she didn't care. She was lost in his kiss and eventually began to kiss him back.
Legolas lifted his hand to the back of her head and pulled her as close as possible, deepening the kiss. His tongue gently caressed Kayla's bottom lip, begging for entrance. She willingly complied and soon found their tongues dancing as one. The elf gently picked Kayla up off the chair and carried her over to the bed, never breaking the kiss. He refused to let their lips part. Kayla slipped out of her robe and freed Legolas of his tunic. He laid himself on top of her and caressed her body with soft, insistent hands. Kayla only wore a thin nightgown, so the elf had easy access to her body.
Kayla broke the kiss to breathe, but found that Legolas did not stop touching her. His hands roamed her sides as he kissed her neck and collarbone. She moaned softly and then lifted Legolas' head from her neck so she could gaze into his eyes. He suddenly smiled a gentle smile and groaned when he felt Kayla's tongue on the lobe of his ear. /Does she know what she's doing?/ he asked himself.
She definitely knew what she was doing. She had read about elves and how extremely sensitive their ears were. Kayla slowly traced the outline of his ear and then moved back to his mouth to exchange another mind-blowing kiss. Legolas slowly reached down to the bottom of her nightgown and lifted it up so he could touch her thighs. Kayla moaned and arched into him as she began to kiss him again.
BANG!
"Legolas, have you seen my-?" Gimli asked as he barged in the room. He cut himself off when he laid his eyes upon his companion and their hostess. Legolas jumped up and stared at the dwarf, who had his mouth hanging open in shock. "Don't you ever knock, Gimli?" Kayla asked as she stood up quickly and threw he robe on over her nightgown.
"ARAGORN!" the dwarf yelled. Legolas quickly grabbed his tunic and threw it on, but he was struggling to get it clasped together. When he had gotten halfway up, the ranger as well as all of Kayla's friends came into the room. "What's going on in here?" Aragorn asked as he carefully eyed Legolas and Kayla. He noticed that Kayla was blushing and Legolas was just clasping his shirt all the way up. "What was going on?" he asked again.
"Well...um..." Kayla began until Gimli cut her off.
"I came in here to find my axe when I found our elf lying on top of Miss Sparrow wearing no shirt!"
"WHAT?" all of Kayla's friends shouted in shock. Legolas took Kayla's hand and led her out of the room, a red blush consuming both of their faces.
