Chapter 2

Sarah drove quickly to Daves apartment. She wanted to clear her head as soon as possible. And what would do that better than concentrating on painting walls?

It was raining by the time Sarah got to the city. She had to park a few blocks away, hence there were no free parkinglots outside of Daves apartment.

With a sigh she grabbed her leather jacket from the passenger seat and stepped out to the pouring rain. She used her jacket as shelter over her head while she fumbleded with the carkeyes and locked the car before starting to run.

By the time Sarah got to the apartment her feet were wet down to the socks.

She got into the small elevator and pressed number five. Exhausted from running she leaned her back on the wall and closed her eyes. But as she did, Jareths face came back into her mind. She moaned complainingly and hit her forhead with the palm of her hand.

Stupid goblin king…

"Sarah! You're soaked!" Daved called out in surprise when he had opened the door for her.

"Yeah, I had to park a few blocks away, and it's pouring." Sarah said as she walked into the apartment. Dave gave her a sympathic look.

"You should have called me. I could've met you with an umbrella."

Sarah kicked off her shoes before bending down and removed her cold socks.

"It's okey. I just need to get warm," she stood up again and smiled at Dave. "And I'll be as good as new."

Dave answered her smile before he took her face between his hands and pressed his lips against hers. Sarah happily answered the kiss and drew her fingers through his brown hair. Dave soon broke off, but did not back away from her, nor let go of her face.

"Stay here and I'll get you something dry to wear before we start."

Sarah smiled broadly.

"Thanks."

Sarah spent all day with Dave, repainting the walls. And she forgot completely about the unpleasant vision earlier.

When the sun started to set, Sarah sat down on the plastic covered sofa as Dave came into the room with a pizza. He put it down on the table before sitting down next to Sarah.

"So!" he said and grabbed a pizza slice. "Ready for the test tomorrow?"

Sarah sighed tiredly.

"Almost. I have to pull an all-nighter." she said unhappily.

Dave smiled and kissed her forhead.

"You'll do fine. You're smart! There's no doubt you'll pass."

"Dave!" Sarah called out. "Why did you say that?! Now I'm definitely going to fail."

With a pouting face she sunk down on the sofa and gave her boyfriend a little glare. But it was difficult for her to keep from laughing, which showed on the corners of her mouth.

Dave laughed and pulled her into his arms. Sarah smiled and leaned her head against his shoulder.

"Sarah, I've been wanting to aks you something." Dave said. Suddenly serious.

"Hm?" Sarah looked up at him with wondering eyes.

"I've been wanting to ask you… If you-"

He was interrupted by the impatient ringing of his homephone in the kitchen.

With a deep sigh he got to his feet and answered.

"Hello? … Yeah, hold on a sec. Sarah. It's for you."

Sarah walked over to him with a surprised face.

"Elaine." he explaned as he gave her the phone. She nodded understanding before putting the phone to her ear.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Sarah. I'm sorry, but we need you to come home. A friend to your father and me is in the hospital. We need you to watch Toby while we are gone." Elaine said with stress in her voice.

"Yeah, absolutely. I need to go home now anyway. No problem." Sarah assured.

"Thank you. See you when we get home." Elaine said before she hung up.

Sarah hung up and went to the hallway.

"I'm sorry, Dave. Something's came up. I have to go home," she said and put her shoes on. "What was it you wanted to ask me?"

"No. Nothing. It can wait." Dave said with disappointment in his voice, and handed her her jacket.

"I'm sorry." she said again and placed a kiss on his lips before she opened the door.

"See you later princess." Dave smiled to her. Sarah put the back of her hand on her forhead and sighed dramaticly. Dave laughed and put his hand on the doornob.

"Hurry up, dramaqueen. I'll call you later. Im case you've fallen asleep."

Sarah smiled and pushed the elevator button.

"Thank you."

The elevator doors opened and Sarah walked in.

"Love you." Dave called as the doors closed.

OoOoOoOoOoOo
