Chapter 5
Ok, guys, It's been way too long since I uploaded, you all have the right to hate me now. But I've been so ungodly busy lately between studying for exams, doing the generally lovely but stressful Christmas things and also I haven't been too confident with what I've been writing lately either. But none the less I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Fionna's POV
The feelings are swirling inside me, never have I ever felt so close to someone. I warm, toasty feeling enters my body through my lips and starts to spread down and into my chest and right down onto my fingers and toes. It feels like, as for the moment, nothing else matters.
The moment is over then. As Marshall pulls away, I realise I don't know how long we were kissing for. I just sit there in the dark, letting my brain register the fact that someone like Marshall was kissing me.
Suddenly another feeling creeps over me, slowly numbing the enjoyable feeling I had had before slightly. The feeling of guilt. Me and Gumball's relationship is practically non-existent, but we still are in the sense, together. And now, I kissed some else. I cheated on him. I'm a cheater. I'm unfaithful.
I also realise neither me and Marshall have said anything for about a whole two minutes. Maybe he's in surprised by what he's just done too.
Motion suddenly kicks in and I fumble and grad my sword out of my bag and light it up.
I catch Marshall's eye and blush, my stomach is in whirls. Now what?
He speaks first.
"Well, we, um better get going" He say "There probably wondering where you are. I should get you back"
"Oh, yeah!" I said, a little too loudly. "The party"
We both get moving and leave. Marshall puts his arm around me and before we know it where both flying through the pitch dark night. I'm still thinking about what just happened. Why did he do it? Did he mean it? Or is he just messing with my head again? Not a word is spoken between us on the way back.
He drops me off at the palace.
"You Ok?" he asks
I nod "Yeah"
"Well" he pauses like he's not quite sure what he should do now. "I'll let you get on with your party. I'll-I'll see you around"
He turns to leave, but suddenly, almost off its own accord, my hand reaches out and grads his arm, keeping him here.
"There's one thing I can't let you leave without answering" I say, surprised by how serious my voice is.
"OK" he says uncertainly "Shoot"
"Why did you do it?" I ask
He sighs and looks at me. His eyes are more honest and serious then I've ever seen them.
"I've been alive longer then you, Fionna. I've seen wars and all sorts of things. I've experienced things, good and bad. I know what love is, but I don't know how it works. I don't think anyone no matter how long they live for will ever know everything there is to know about love. But I can't deny" he puts his hand on his chest "I do feel something for you. And whether what I feel for you is love or just strong friendship, I don't know. I can't tell if it's one or the other or maybe it's a mixture of both." He takes my hand. "But that doesn't change the fact that I love who you are. I love what you do, how you thrive. I know you, how kind you are, how heroic and righteous you are. You're the sort of person I wish I could be. I understand you. I love you" He puts my hand on his chest.
My heart stops
Marshall glances over at the palace, obviously being reminded of Gumball.
"And when I say that, I'm not saying I want you, because I know I can't have you." He lets my hand drop from his chest. "But I thought someone as incredible as you deserved to be kissed." He shrugs "I just hope it was good enough for you"
"Marshall" I say feeling overwhelmed. "I'm a human, you're a vampire. If we ever started anything, it would never work out." His face falls "But you're right, you do understand me."
I take a step towards him, closer to him.
"The right thing to do would be to let this be a once off and it end it here" I say "But that's what the good little girl would do. The good little girl everyone sees me as. Everyone except you, Marshall. And if I'm honest with myself, I feel the something you feel for me for me. And if we start something, I don't know if it will last forever. But I'm willing to give it a shot" I take a deep breath. "So what do you say? Will you start something with me?"
He has that loveable grin on his face again and leads into me
"Only if you kiss me this time"
I lean in
"Only if you make it as good as last time" I say, grinning back.
Where kissing again. I feel that toasty feeling again and honestly I love it so much, I wouldn't give a dame if Gumball came around the corner and saw us.
We break apart.
"Well" I say, hoisting my bag higher on my shoulder "I better go back inside before they send out a search party."
"Sure, I'll call you"
"I'll be waiting"
I kiss him again quickly
"Ok" He says "Now get inside before they really do send out the search party" But he says it lovingly.
"Bye"
"Bye" I high up my skirts and rush inside. When I'm in I run into Cake
"What have you been up to?" she asks
"Oh, nothing much" I lie
Looks like I'm going to be telling a few more of them from now on.
But it seems worth it.
Ok guys that's all for this chapter, guys. Please review!
