Chapter 11
Disclaimer: The song lyrics in the end of this chapter is taken from Gorecki, by Lamb. For those of you who recognize it from somewhere, perhaps it's from Moulin Rouge.
Plus, sorry for the shortness of this chapter! It sometimes gets like this when you don't want to push two chapters together, it wouldn't work for the flow. Because of it, I posted it a lot faster than what I usually post an additional chapter, and I will post the next one soon as well.
" At what time are you supposed to meet with the Counsellors and the others?"
Neo sighed, pushing the door to the elevator, watching it as they descended up.
" After noon, " he answered, sighing again. It was not that he did not like them, it was more that he did not like what they always put him through, all the things that they wanted him to do, and more importantly, explain.
He wished that they could take the hint, all his blunt answers that never gave them too much knowledge that they wanted to know… and at the same time, he could not help but wonder if that was the thing, that they kept doing it because he never satisfied them in his answers.
" I know that you're sick of it, " Trinity started, and stroked his arm gently. He looked at her, and she looked at his shoulder as she continued. " but perhaps they'll soon tire. They can't keep it on forever, " she continued and he nodded. He looked at his open palms as the elevator came to a stop. They both stepped outside, and walked over to their door, and Neo waited as Trinity opened it for them.
He looked at her from behind, and when she had opened it he followed her in. As she turned around and walked over to their small desk and grabbed a paper and pen, she watched as he remained standing in the middle of the room, lost in thoughts. She knew how hard it all was on him, and in times like this she just wished that she could take all his pain, all that confusion away…
… but she also knew that many of it, were things he needed to work out alone.
She put the pen and paper down, and walked over to him, taking his hands in hers. She looked up at him and leaned up, planting a soft kiss on his lips, causing him to break his train of thoughts, remnants of the thoughts resting on his tongue.
He squeezed her hand back and she looked at their entwined hands, then into his big, brown pools of love… shining with uncertainty. But not for her.
" I just wish I knew what I'm supposed to do…"
And she looked into his eyes again, and she touched his cheek briefly with her hand, and she could feel him resting into her touch.
If I should die this very moment…
She leaned into him, and he lowered himself somewhat, and they rested their brows against each other. They closed their eyes, and let their heart, their special bond do all the talking that they could not muster at the moment.
I wouldn't fear, for I've never known completeness like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you, loving every breath of you
Still my heart in this moment, or it might burst
Could we stay right here, 'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
Want to love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for, the One…
