Purple Crayon

Just watching Ryder for a moment as he closes his own eyes Thirteen can feel her pulse rising. She'd been ordered to close her eyes for many differnt reasons before, but this time it was Ryder asking and she new there was nothing to fear of him and Trooper was close by.

Slowly closing her eyes Thirteen keeps her hands in Ryder's as she just listens to him talk. Book's Thirteen new what books where, she had read a few herself.

Continuing to keep her eyes close images start to form in her mind as memories of the books she read trying to come out and have her remember how it felt. Finally the images come faster and faster. It was hard to land on just one, but finally her mind starts to slow as her lips move in a soft voice.

"The one where the girl has a fairy Godmother and she helps her dress up nice to go to the ball and steal the Princes heart. She went from being loved, to be nothing, to wanting her love again."

Thirteen is quiet for a moment as her mind forms a more real reply this time. Things like that only happend in books and she new it. But it was a nice book she read and maybe one of her fav.

"I also like the book with the boy who had a purple crayon. He could draw anything and go there. The beach, a fair and than at the end he was still in the safty of his room. Thats what I wish I could do."

As Kyle helps her stand Alice gives a small giggle. She would never tire of Kyle, and his energy. It what helped drive her on and keep her own tank from running low.

Yelling after him she heads to the grill a smile on her face and the twinkle in her eye so bright.

"You better hurry up so I dont have to come looking for you. Because if I do than that means I will need the energy and I will have to eat your food too."

Listing to Laura Nate dosnt say much but keeps a look on his face like he was listing, digesting, and trying to understand what she was saying.

Some of the stuff maybe he new she was going to say and some of the other stuff was kind of a saprise. Like finding out Laura was going to be quiting the Elite. That wasnt something he exspected at all. Nate had always though it was her life and it was new news she would be quiting.

Continuing to listen Nate can feel his insides shout for job and feel the smile that wanted to break free but he willed it not to and kept his expression the same.

As Laura finished up Nate still stood there his arms crossed as he looked into her eyes searching to see if what she said was really how she felt. Feeling her hand on his face Nate closed his eyes for a moment. Taking in the wormth from it. Oh how he missed her touch, and her sweet soft skin.

Opening his eyes once again Nate unfolded his arms and reached up to take her hand from his face just holding it for a moment.

"All I want, is you to be you nothing more."

Saying nothing more Nate tugs a little on Laura's arm pulling him closer to her a tiny tear glittered in his eye as he closed tham again and holding her close his lips met hers.

Over the last month how he missed her, how he missed her kiss, when he saw her he wanted to hold her and now, now he had her and she was going to be his wife. His kiss alone sealed the deal to let Laura know he still wanted her oh so bad.

Slipping his hand behind her head his kiss was soft, but at moment getting just a little more intence as his passion flowed though them only to return to being soft again. Oh how he had been waitin for this.
