Chapter Four
(Author's note: Hello all! I am now starting on what I like to call the bomb-shell chapter! You'll see what I mean ;) but for now, hasta la vista baby!)
Buck and I were walking in the direction of the cave, when I heard Diego's voice, "Yeah, I've been living here for quite some time." he said coolly. My ears moved around, looking for where the voices were coming from. When I located the source of the voices, I grabbed Buck's arm and pulled him behind a bush. He tried to protest, but I shushed him and pointed to where Diego was. Buck mouthed the word, "Oh" and nodded.
Once we were settled in our spying-spot, I soon noticed that Diego was talking to, a girl! She could've been a cousin or something- who am I kidding? Does anyone here really buy that for a second? I don't. Anyway, this was the time to make a move; I exited the hiding place and calmly walked over to Diego and the saber girl.
"Good evening Tigey- um, Diego." I started casually, I didn't want to call him Tigey Wigey in front of the girl because, well, I didn't want to be mother goose all the time did I? Nope.
"Evenin' Suzy." he answered shortly.
"So who's your friend?" I kept on, trying to make it seem like a legit coincidence that I found him talking to a girl.
"Suzy, this is Jillian. Jillian, Suzy." he answered.
"Hello." said Jillian, she sounded like a girl from Star Bucks.
"Very nice to meet you Jillian, say, I usually have one of Diego's" (at this point Diego was making the "Cut it out!" sign where Jillian couldn't see) "friends over when Buck is here. Would you like to come over for dinner? I make great salmon!" I smiled smugly, and Diego was evil-eyeing me.
"Oh my gosh, I'd love to! Thank you so much," from a smiling Jillian.
"Well I'll catch you two later, gotta go catch dinner!" I started to walk off, but Diego stopped me.
He said, "Wait, you said something about Buck?"
"Yup, he's someplace around here, me and him were just going fishing." I said all nonchalantly.
"Oh," he grinned slyly, "Well, have fun." damn it! He knows too! Are my feelings really all that transparent to everyone? I hope not.
"Oh, I will, you kids have fun." I winked "And see you guys later."
After that Buck and I started down towards the river, I had completely forgotten about my sphere. But I guess it didn't matter, so long as Buck had his knife. All I could think about was, what would we talk about? Would it be awkward? Would we catch anything with all this nervousness building up inside me? Oh how I wished we had at least had a third wheel! Well at least I could have some alone time with him, I mean, everyone wanted to be around Buck all the time because they missed him; I may not have gotten another chance like that for a long time. So I decided to do my best with small-talk, and maybe even flirt a little.
After about three minutes I got sick of the silence, so I decided to work on that small-talk. The problem was, I didn't know how to make small-talk without sounding retarded. Hey, don't blame me, the first time I tried making small talk with a guy was horrible! I ended up talking about the weather and Family Guy for two hours. Pretty bad huh? Well I didn't need anything like that happening again.
"So, pretty day huh?" I said all nonchalant.
"Small talk isn't easy is it?" Buck said as nonchalantly as me.
My jaw dropped in surprise, how in the hell did he know I was thinking that? "How- what- how did you…?" I stuttered, trying to find the right words.
Buck stared laughing his head off, "Suzy cue, you crack me up." he finally said, still recovering from laughter. "I didn't. I just guessed."
"You mind reader! Holey cow, I'm starting to think you are a psychic!" I accused, starting to laugh as well.
"Maybe, maybe not." Buck shrugged.
"Well can your psychic powers attract fish?" I asked, standing at the bank of the river.
"No, but I might know something that could."
I nodded as if telling him to continue.
"Sing."
I go, "What?"
"Sing" he reiterated.
"Sing?" I returned.
"Yes sing, like la la la la la. Sing." he sounded sooo much like Ben at that moment, even the tone-deaf part!
"Oh, well, how will that help?"
"Fish like music." he said shortly.
I shrugged, and cleared my throat,
"This time,
This place,
Miss used, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
Cause you know, you know, you know,
I love you,
I loved you all along,
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreamin you'll be with me and you never know,
Stop breathin if I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you, I'd withstand all of it to hold your hand
I'd give it all,
Give it for us, give anything but I wont give up
Cause you know, you know, you know,
I love you,
I loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long,
I keep dreamin' you'll be with me and you never know,
Stop breathin' if I don't see you anymore
So far away, been far away for far too long
But you know, you know you know,
I wanted I wanted you to stay,
And I'm needin I need to hear you say,
I love you,
I loved you all along, and I forgive you,
For beein away for far too long
So keep breathin', cause I'm not leavin you anymore
Believin, hold onto me never let me go
Keep breathin cause I'm not leavin you anymore
Believin, hold onto me never let me go."
For those of you who are wondering, yes it's Nickelback. And yes, I was singing it in rights to Buck, come on, it was perfect. "Anything yet?" I asked, peering into the water.
"Salmon, two o'clock!" he half whispered, as if the fish could hear us, pointing at the water excitedly, "See, fish are attracted to pretty voices,"
I blushed, "Yeah, you sure showed me. Now lets catch us some dinner." I rubbed my hands together and got into the water, Buck fallowed.
We caught three big 'uns before we decided to take a break. We were still in the water, but most of the fish had gone.
"Hey, Buck," my face twisted into a wicked grin, "I think I see a fish over there," he swam up to me.
He goes, "Where?"
And then I said, "Right, here!" and splashed him, then I swam away real fast.
"Oh, you're asking for trouble Suzy cue!" he says.
I gave him a sly grin, "Oh, am I-" before I could tell what was happening, Buck was right beside me, and had me in his grasp, "No, stop it! Buck!" I protested, laughing and squirming all the while. Before I knew it, he was throwing me into the water, kind of like my uncle Grady did with me, my brother, and my cousins. Once I got up to the surface I yelled uncle and ended our little frankest. Buck was still chuckling, though. He had on his smug grin for a while after that.
Once we got out of the water, Buck and I laid down on the bank on our backs. The grass was soft. The golden sunset was spread out across the evening sky in front of us, reflecting off of some ice sickles, making them all the more beautiful. I must be insane. I thought. I mean, what I was about to do was pretty insane. But hey, I'd done it once, I could do it again. I leaned close to Buck, and planted one right on his cheek.
"Thanks so much." I said directly after kissing him.
Buck looked confused, "What for?"
clueless! "For everything." I said, "For being there for me, for standing up for me, for helping me through a rough day, for everything." we sat up, and upon doing so, I hugged Buck. With nothing else said, we gathered up the fish, and Buck's knife, and headed back to the cave.
