Super short chapter after a crazy long period of time. I know. I should be punished. I am so sorry it's been so long. I got distracted during NaNoWriMo and then I forgot that I had never finished this fic. I will get some more content up soon if people are still interested in this fic. Thanks for sticking with me. Please review! XOXO - E
"I can't wait." I was still drunk. Very. Very drunk. "If I don't do this now I might lose faith and back out. I might be the selfish-ass we all know I am inside. We have to do this now."
"You're still completely-" Liam began cautiously.
"Yes. I am aware. Now Liam. Let's go find the damn beans." he considered for a moment and nodded.
"Whatever you want brother." I rolled my eyes, thinking to myself, No. Nothing about this is what I want. In fact, it seems to be a lot more about what you want. "I'll go find Killian and-"
"No." The word slipped out before I'd thought about it. "No. Don't. Let's go just you and me." Despite everything that was going on this was my brother. Back from the dead. And though I was about to go cease to exist, I could have a few hours with my brother. Just me and him. Like it used to be. Like it would be again. As soon as I died. No, Jones. Not now. Focus on the good. Again Liam nodded, deferring to me and off we went. "Where did this mysterious man send us, again?"
"A field on the edge of town."
"Which edge of town?"
"He didn't say." I swore.
"Of course he didn't. Who is this man? He must be both blind and stupid to give such nonspecific instructions." Liam smiled and again, nodded.
"Perhaps."
"Do you have a plan to get there?" I asked. "I'm not particularly motivated given that doing so will mean my eventual death."
"The dwarves." He said simply.
"They go out to tend to the beans every day and they're all at Granny's as we speak. So we wait for them to finish their lunch and we follow them to the field. Then we sneak in and steal a few." Damn. That was half a formed plan.
"Fine." I climbed into I'd "borrowed" from Dave and we waited. Soon enough, the dwarves left and piled in LeRoy's truck, driving away. I followed them, not thinking about the directions we were headed in. Simply keeping the tailgate of that beaten up red truck in my view. Instead, my mind was filled with nothing but Emma. The first time we'd kissed. The flirtatious banter that suddenly went much further. The spark between our lips that was unlike anything I'd ever felt. The utter fulfilment of my very soul by nothing but her lips. My mind skipped over the part where she'd hid from her feelings and instead hid us. It was what she had needed. And I could give it to her. So I had. But again, I didn't want to think about it. So I just replayed the passion between us over and over in my head.
We came to a sudden halt and I looked around us. Indeed we were on the edge of town. Exactly where I didn't know. I don't think I had ever been in this exact place before.
"Are you ready?" Liam asked kindly. I shook my head.
"No." He looked at me, his blue eye mirroring mine. "Let's begin."
Don't forget to review! XOXO - E
