The time seamed to fly by after that conversation. Before anything could be protested, Moses and Henri were out the door and on their way to the docks. James watched them go regretfully. He didn't want to be stuck with Sarah now that he knew he true feelings for her. And with her around, how could he figure out how to tell her he loved her?
"James, aren't you listening to me?" Sarah's voice broke through his thoughts. He turned and saw she had been working on her article.
"What was that? What'd you say?" Sarah rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I said you should get to work on your article or you'll never get it done."
"Oh, right, the article on George Washington. Yeah, I got it." He refused to make eye contact with her as he approached the press and began setting up the letters. Sarah noticed this and eyed him carefuly.
"Are you sure your okay? You don't seam like yourself this morning." Great, he thought, of all days for her to notice me it had to be today. "Was it that dream? Maybe you'll feel better if you talk about it."
He finally looked up at her, her bright green eyes attempting to hypnotize him. He quickly looked away and escaped from their powers.
"In my dream, there was a thunder storm, and a bolt of lightning hit the shop. And... and..." Again, he looked up at Sarah, if only to reassure himself that she was still there. "And you... you were trapped inside." Sarah's eyes grew wide, and there was a moment of awkward silence.
"Oh my, that is rather distressing." She said when she found her voice, "And your really upset over it, aren't you?" James, still not looking at her directly at her, gave a weak nod. "I had no idea you cared so much, James." James's head jolted up.
"Wha...?"
"I mean, the two of us are always expressing separate opinions, and I never realized you thought of us as friends." Sarah absentmindedly played with the locket around her neck. James could have sighed with relief. "I like that very much." Sarah added a reassuring smile, which sent James' heart racing. It beat so fast that he could feel it in his face. But Sarah didn't notice.
"I guess we should finish getting this article written before Moses returns." James continued setting up letters and at one point, he actually finished his article. The whole time he worked, though his mind was on reporting, his eyes were continuously drawn to a beautiful teenager with pretty red hair.
A/N - This took a while to finish because I could NOT get the dialogue right for some reason. And I know its shorter, but it wouldn't fit into one chapter.
