Chapter Four
Declan thought back to that night that he first told Holly J he loved her.
It was at the Space Awakening play Declan had produced. The play had gone way better then expected. I could hear the loud claps of the audience around me as the cast went up to bow, but all I could see was her and all I could hear was the lesson of the story. Holly J had turned to me and congratulated me on the success of the play. She gave me a proud smile, but I could see the same sadness in her eyes that I felt in my heart. No matter what was going on in these couple of days, all we could think about was my moving. She looked back at the cast, but I couldn't take my eyes away from her.
"I just knew. There was you. And there was me. I didn't have to think about it anymore, it was at that time I knew it was right. It was at that moment when I knew you were the one that made me complete. I didn't have to be afraid anymore"
Holly J looked up at Declan as if he had just handed her a brand new puppy. He chuckled lightly at how cute her expression was.
"Did that answer your question" Declan asked her.
"More than enough" she kissed him on his lower cheek next to his mouth.
"I guess question three goes to me?" Declan followed up and Holly J nodded.
Declan sighed and was unable to make eye contact with her for the question that was floating around in his mind.
"How far did you and…. Sav… go" he finally got out regretfully. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer. The idea of them… even kissing made Declan sick to his stomach and made him want to physically claw the mental images out of his brain- even if it was impossible. However, there was this nagging masochist need to know and to either break him a bit or put his mind at ease.
Holly J looked up at him knowing that it was killing him and making him uncomfortable by the way his body took a tense form.
"Declan... well first of all let me say that we did not sleep together" she said watching his reaction carefully.
Declan breathed out a little bit, at peace with that fact.
"Yes, there were times that things did get a little… well, hot and heavy, to put it simply. But I swear to you that I did not sleep with him" she continued.
Declan nodded accepting her answer. He didn't like the thought of it, but what could he do about it now? "Ok, yah, ok" he responded awkwardly unsure of what to actually say.
"So my turn?" Holly J said quickly wanting to change the subject.
Declan nodded thankful for the change of subject.
Holly J pursed her lips together and thought for a moment. "Ok, Question number four…" she thought for a moment and then said "ok, cliche question, but if you could take any three things to a desert Island- what would you take?"
Declan couldn't help but lightly laugh at her question. "Believe it or not I have never been asked that question before" he said chuckling and then looked up thinking.
"Let me see... I would take... Manchego cheesecake, obviously. This like special shampoo that I use... it makes my hair the wonderful consistancy that it is" he said shaking his hair and laughing lightly. "Anddd let's see. Number 3... what else is important to me" Declan said dramatically pretending to think.
Holly J gave him a 'Ugh! Hello!' look and Declan laughed. "Number three would of course be you. Actually you'd be number one" he said pecking her on the lips and she smiled satisfied.
