The Seven Realms Belong to Cinda Willams Chima
As they got to the bridge, they parted ways with a kiss and went to their schools.
Cat was glowing on her way to her dorms. She humming a song, smiling with joy, and skipped a bit. Han for once was coming to her recital later, and he meant it for once. Her heart was beating fast and she felt her cheeks getting warm. The thought of Han coming to her recital excited her, he would see what she can do. Cat also thought about after the recital, thinking there would be more rough kisses. She couldn't help but giggled at the thought. Last night was wonderful for her, she never felt that much love. She wanted more, More passionate kisses, more skin to skin, she wanted Han more. She wanted more of Han this morning but Dancer had to ruin it.
"Dancer...", Cat thought. She stopped smiling, humming, and skipping. she looked down on the ground, thinking.
She was starting to feel guilty now. She known Dancer had feelings for her, and deep down... she had feelings for him too. Dancer was friendly to her, listen to her more, and even came to one of her recitals. So what change?
Was it just that one night with Han, everything just change? Just switching feelings?
What made Han special to her? Has he ever been friendly towards her? Yes, he talks with her, crack jokes, and Cat even convice Han to pull a prank on Micah as revenge for tripping him down the stairs. Lets just say... Micah never went to go to the bathroom alone ever again. Anyways, has Han ever listen to her more? Kinda, Han wasn't around much but he would listen in and give some advice. Did Han ever go to one of her recitals? No, never. He was always busy he said. But now, he swore he would come to hers tonight. She's still hoping.
Dancer done a lot than Han, what changed? Cat then remember last night, when Han kissed her. Memories of Han and herself in Ragmarket, memories of the fun they had, the laughs, the cries, the love, flooded Cat's mind. They stole together, took beatings from the gaurd for one another, even give things that they thought they could never had. When they started going out for the first time, they shared some kisses. When they fought, Han would aways find a way to make up with Cat.
When Han left the Raggers, he left Cat too. She felt really hurt and betrayed. She tried her best to forget him. It was not easy, she tried stealing to get her mind off of Han, but memories of them stealing made her unfocused in stealing.
She dated a boy named Velvet. It kinda work, they were caring for each other but it didn't felt the same. She missed Han, she would think of him. When she saw him in the alleys of Ragmarket after he left, she saw him with Rebecca. She felt jealous, she wanted to gutted the girle he was with. But felt relief when she found out they weren't together. When she meet him again in Delphi, she wanted to jump in his arms but couldn't because she was worried how he would felt. When she lost her money in a gambling match, he was willing to win it back. When he won them back, she wanted to kiss him with passion.
When Han was kidnapped by Arden soliders, she was ready to rescue him. When She, Han, and Dancer were saft from the soilders, she wanted to kiss him and hug him.
When she saw Dancer for the first time, things began to change.
She liked Dancer, with the way he treated her. During their time in Oden's Ford, Dancer would have time with her. Unlike Han who was always busy. When Cat mention Rebecca was here in Oden's Ford , Han went looking for her. Next time Rebecca was mention, Han said she was tutoring him private. Cat does not know what Rebecca was tutoring, she didn't care.
She was falling for Dancer, and he was falling for her too. But with that night with Han, Cat's feelings for Dancer erased. Memories of she and Han was all that was there. She missed him, and from what happen that night, he missed her too. Cat wanted what they had back.
Back to present time, Cat was in her dorm room.
She was getting her instrument for her recital practice. As soon as she got it, she stopped and think. "It's best if I talk to Dancer about me and Cuffs. I don't wanna leave it the way it is. I still wanna be friends with him, if that's still possible. I'll be busy with the recital stuff, so tomorrow I should talk to him."
Cat wouldn't know what to tell Dancer, she was worried Dancer wouldn't accept her explanation. But she has to try. She'll probably have something by tomorrow.
Right now, she needs to stay focus for the recital tonight. She took a deep breath, walk out the door and closed it. She then walked to the theater where practice was being held.
After tonight, her feelings would be tested.
To be continued.
