Take My Hand
Kelsi was pacing on the well worn linoleum floor of the airport. "I can't do this, Ryan!! What if I'm not good enough and the scholarship was a mistake? What if the other kids won't like me?"
Ryan lost the battle against the smile he had been fighting for half an hour. "Did you actually just say that? Kels, we're starting college, not kindergarten all over again. And how you still manage to doubt your own amazing talent after all this time is a mystery to me "
"You say that every time."
"It's true every time"
Kelsi stopped to give him a small reluctant smile before resuming her previous activity. "Anyway, how come you're not nervous? I mean, apart from the terrifying prospect of starting at a seriously competitive college, we are going to be all alone in a huge city in another state, for crying out loud!"
Ryan gently placed a hand on her right shoulder to stop her. "Relax, Kels. Deep breaths. Listen, everything is going to be fine. Better than fine, actually. Brilliant. I am confident in my talent and certain of yours. And I promise you that you are never going to be alone over there. We're in this together, remember? "
He held out his hand and smiled encouragingly at her. "So what do you say? Shall we embark on this new adventure, milady?"
She took his hand and looked him in the eyes with a mischievous smile playing at her lips. "Start spreading the news."
And the fluff is back!
A two-and-a-half drabble. The little blighter seemed to have a life of its own ans blatantly refused my attempts to either shorten or lengthen it, so as it is, it shall remain.
And apparently, begging for reviews is rather efficient. Thank you again, any and all who leave a comment :)
