Hey everyone. Sorry for the huge delay in posting this. Haven't been able to get near a computer in over a week. Anyway, here's a very short chapter 4. C5 will be longer and more interesting, promice! (--)
Gwen sprinted down the roads, breathing hard, heart pounding in her chest
Gwen sprinted down the roads, breathing hard, heart pounding in her chest. Reaching the front door to her block of flats, she fumbled with her keys, swearing loudly as she dropped them. Bending down, she grabbed them once more and seized the front door key. Stuffing it into the lock, she flung open the door, letting it bang back on the wall. She sprinted through the foyer, hearing faintly the click of the front door as it swung back closed.
Racing up the stairs, she arrived at her own front door, breathless and hot. Trying to catch her breath, she reached for the handle of her own front door and slotted her key into the lock. Taking a deep breath and dreading what she was about to find, she pushed it open.
Music filtered through to her ears at that moment, followed by the smell of something cooking, and someone singing. Hope rising, Gwen ran down the hallway.
Rhys looked up as his fiancé came running into the room, breathless and pink faced from running.
"Hello there" He said cheerfully as she ran to him and flung her arms around him. "Hey, what's all this about then, eh?" He asked, a little stunned but pleased at the same time. "I ain't set fire to the place yet if that's what you were worried about". He suddenly pulled her back slightly, looking into her deep brown eyes. "This is about your work isn't it? About Torchwood."
"I'm just glad you're safe."
"From what?"
"This…thing, I dunno what it was. Looked human but I wasn't so sure. Said it had been here, spoken to you. Said your name and everything. I thought it had…I dunno" She pulled her hair back from her face and sighed.
"Hey hey hey" Rhys said concerned, pulling her back close and holding her tight. "I'm alright. No one's been here. It's probably just someone trying to freak you out. Now come on. I've got a special treat for you."
He took her hand gently, and led her round the corner.
"Eyes closed!"
Smiling in spite of herself, Gwen closed her eyes trustingly and let Rhys lead her around the corner of their flat.
"Now, I hope you like this, because it took a long time, and I'm not really sure if its all right or anything, and there's probably something missing or something wrong…"
"Rhys I'm suspicious now, what is it?"
"Hold on there for two seconds" His hand slid out of hers, and she felt him move away from her. "Keep your eyes closed!" There was a soft clicking noise, followed by a second one a few moments later.
"What's that Rhys?"
"Ok, open them then"
Gwen slowly opened her eyes.
"Is this all alright. I wasn't sure if you liked this kind of thing or not…"
"Rhys I…Its perfect!"
In front of her was one of the small tables from the lounge area of their flat. The sofa's and chairs had all been pushed to the side, and the table was in the centre of the room. Two dining chairs sat at opposite ends of the table, and the room was dark, lit only by the light of two candles that stood majestically in the centre of the table. On the table, one of Gwen's posh table cloths was neatly covering the top, and a beautifully made dinner for two lay on her favourite table mats. A bottle of her favourite wine sat in between the candles, and two wine glasses stood ready.
"You like it then?" Rhys half laughed as he saw tears in his fiancé's eyes as she stepped forwards into his arms. He held her close, breathing in the soft smell of her dark hair.
"I love you Rhys Williams" Gwen said pulling back, looking deep into his eyes, before kissing him.
"I love you too"
