"No one will come down this hall... the cleaning suply hall... what are you doing?" he asks. I look around, I wasn't sure where I was now I know. "I guess it doesn't matter though." He sighs, holding me tight. "You're healthy and happy that's all that matters." He pulls my away and holds me at arms length.
"You look miserable." I sigh. He sends me a look, I didn't say goodbye or write to him either. He has probably been wondering.
"It's okay, I've gotten most of the reasons why." He say pulling me back in. It's nice knowing he kept tabs on me!
"Well?" I ask, he must know what I think about Rashell. Also maybe he knows something about this other force here. Tatum said it was bad. I wonder if the crows have something to do with it as well? I can't believe I just now thought of that! I feel stupid now! Duh Lyra crows aren't a good sign! That crow in the her window I wonder what that was about!?
"Why can't we just have one time where there is no drama... no threats and no fiancés." he sighs. I let out a breath. Thayer, he is sleeping too.
"I know a couple times..." I smile at the memories of the nights I stayed in his room with him. Espicially the two nights, where we.. lets just say grew closer. "I should really be getting back though. I'm sure the West's are wondering." I mumble, and he nods. Letting go of me.
"Lyra." he says after I've taken a couple steps. "Last time you left me I didn't see you for months. You broke your promise about that last kiss." I smile practically running into his arms, slamming our lips together. The heat washes over me faster then ever as I grip the hair on the back of his neck. His arms wrap around me lifting me with ease. This feels right, I've missed this. I've just missed his touch his voice. What about Thayer? If we get caught? I pull away, laying my chin on his shoulder in a strong embrace.
"We should stop." I whisper, and he nods. Setting me down, I look out the window I should get going. "Goodbye." I breath out, and then leave him walking down the hall. I don't look back, if I look back I might run back to him. I want to run back to him, but I can't I promised Thayer! We are getting married next month, and that's that. No changing that. I head back to the apartment, slipping back into our room. I lean against the door, looking at the ground. My heart is still beating at abnormal speeds, and I still want to run back to him for more. Just run back to him in general! "God what am I doing?" I whisper laying my head back on the door.
"Not sleeping." Thayer answers my question, as he sits up. I look up at him, surprised and trying to see if he is mad or has an idea of where I have been. "I woke up a little while ago... I figured I should just wait and not find you." He scratches the back his neck and pushes his bed head hair back and out if his eyes. I move away from the door and towards the bed, I sit next to him and he takes in a deep breath. Gosh he knows, I look down at my hands unsure what to say exactly. He must know t least I was with Elijah, I didn't go to see him though... he found me. I'm not complaining about him finding me though. "So...whats up?" He sighs.
"I came back. I have a promise to you, and I don't plan on breaking it. We said goodbye." I look over at him, and he looking out the window. "Thayer... what I said ealier about loving you, I do."
"I know." He replies still looking out the window, I watch him with intensity trying to figure out if he is really mad at me. "You said goodbye to your partner, you came back to me when you didn't have to. For that I am forever debted to you." He says, reaching over and grabbing my hand in his. Locking our fingers together, I let out a small breath.
"I know just how you can pay me back." I whisper, he glances at me questioning me. "Make me forget him, not replace him... just make me happy." I lean against him, as a couple tears run down my face. He wraps his other arm around me.
"That's all I've ever tried to do." He whispers to me, "Knowing you gave up your life here I wanted to make your life in Caswan good."
"You are doing a great job." I smile, looking out the window like he was.
"Lyra, we will be happy.. You will be happy." He kisses my head, and I smile at his sureness. He is always so positive. I'm never like this. I even ran away thinkng I couldn't fight her, but I saved a whole city of people. I did the right thing. I am doing the right thing.
"I know." I push him down so we are laying down. "We need sleep." I kiss his cheek. Laying my head on his chest and throwing the blanket over the two of us. We cuddle, whispering about what we can all do tomorrow. Actually what we can do for the rest of the week, since we will be here that long. We toss around ideas like boating and working on dance we have to do at our wedding. I might be a great fighter, but dancing is whole other story for me. It turns out girls can step on the guys feet too.
Chapter 5"NO!" I sit up screaming. Where am I? I'm sweating terribly and my head is pounding. Looking around the room comes into focus better and I recognize the apartment room.
"You okay?" Thayer runs out of the bathroom. I can hear the shower running, and see his hair dripping wet. I can also see him with just his lower torso covered with a towel. I shake my head, looking away from his torso and up at his face. "Sorry I wasn't out here." He sits rubbing my back.
"It's okay... go finish your shower. Your getting the bed wet." I push him away, and he chuckles. Once he is back in the bathroom I let out a couple deep breaths, thinking long and hard about the nightmare. But nothing comes up my mind is blank. I get up picking out my clothes for the day, and waiting for Thayer to come out. Once he does we switch places and I can shower cleaning my body from the sweat. Leaving the bathroom, Thayer and I go to the kitchen (in our appartment) and we make oatmeal. Talking lightly again about what to do today, we decide on practicing our dance. Cleaning up our dishes we head back to our room grabbing the shoes we're told we have to where and the cd with the song on it. Thayer and I picked out a normal waltz song to dance to, and we've been trying the dances with all my different dresses. I haven't choosen a dress yet, neither Thayer or I have liked any that we have been shown. With the wedding only a month away though, a dress is some what needed.
There isn't enough room for us to practice where we are though, so we're going to have to go to the ball room. Besides no one else will be there, the room is practically on lock down when there isn't a ball. Flipping on the lights as we finally make it there, I look around fascinated. I remember being showed this room, but there was never any balls. It really is grand. It looked just like the ball room in Beauty and the Beast! Minus the grand stair case and talking furniture. Setting up the CD in the music player, I shrug out of my jacket so I'm in dance attire. Thayer's mother insisted I get formal practice clothing, that way when I'm actually dancing with a dress on it wont feel to different. Although the formal dance attire ha a small skirt like thing, it's just a tank top connected to a pair of leggings with a small skirt. We do a couple little small stretches, that was soomething our coach told us we must do. Yes, we had a coach to teach us the dance, and now that we know it we don't need her to show anymore. It's just that like I said before dancing isn't my thing.
Taking our places once we finished stretching. I place my hand on his shoulder, and he puts his under my shoulder. Grasping each others other hands, we look at each other as the music begins. Taking the first couple steps, perfectly fine I get ready for the twirl that's coming up. It's always where I screw up. Thayer whispers for me to relax, and I try, but I don't know how longer his toes can go with my big feet stomping on them! He twirls me slowly, and I take the step to come back in. I let go scared I'm going to step on him. Why did we choose dancing this early in the morning?
"I'm sorry..." I say mentally slapping myself. "I'm gonna break your toes sooner or later though!" I say trying to have some kind of defense. He just laughs at me walking over to the music. He changes it to another song, I think it's the Tango. I'm even worse at that! "What on earth are you doing?" I ask, as he leads me back out onto the dance floor.
"We are going to dance... some kind of dance, so you can loosen up." He replies smiling. Oh god, now I'm even more nervous."Lyra come on just have fun with it! Think of it like... using your powers."
"My powers..." I repeat rolling my shoulders trying to loosen up. He smiles at me I nod. I run over to the music box, changing it back to our waltz. Getting out hands in place again, we start out like normal. Once the twirl comes I think about my powers, it's just like that easy and simple I'm making harded then it needs to be. Once the twirl is done I step back in, and not on his toes! "I did it!" I cheer quietly as we continue, but something is different. "Oh god!" I say looking around. The twirl created a tornado! We're five feet of the ground right now on top of it.
"At least you did it!" He smiles. I remember him saying he is scared of heights. Oh gosh, this probably isn't fun for him.
"I'm sorry. I know you don't like heights. I promise I didn't try either." I say looking down, we're still going through the movements perfectly. I seem to be completely relaxed right now, and I can do the steps. "Altough, if we do another twirl were just going to
