What You Feel – Interlude When I was a little girl I thought my
mother was my whole world. She would talk to me, spinning tall tales of her own
mother’s island, back in the Caribbean. I remember one of the few times she
would hold me, I would snuggle up real close in her arms, her embrace, and put
my head right in the crook of her neck. There
is nothing else like feeling your mother’s warmth, but especially hearing her
voice so close to you. So close that you feel the vibrations right through to
your body. I think I put my head right next to her neck because I felt her words
would go right through me, and would become her. I know it’s stupid now. I was
a kid, and it was one of the few times my mother would hold me. The first and last time I wronged my
mother was the day I became Gia. Some would say I was reborn, but I
look at that day as one where I died. There were no words to express my remorse,
the regret I had at how childlike words came to become adult hate. The worst
part was that I was a walking ghost in my own home. I did not have a name for
she took that away from me. I was a living ghost. It took me awhile to realize
that I couldn’t continue to ask for forgiveness that would never come. It’s different now though. I can
truthfully say there is not the same pain imprinted on my soul like before.
Nikolas has made me see that. He holds me as he is sleeping now, and that is
testament enough to my struggle. Once I told him… I knew things were
going to be fine. I told him I needed him, loved him, and he told me things
would be all right. May IMay
I… May I. Yes
you may, If only I may.... Mind,
body and souls intertwined
The sound of the music began and Gia placed her head on his chest as they moved to the new song that spilled out onto the terrace from the room.
“I love you.” They pulled away slightly, looking deep into their eyes. Nikolas could see the shaky smile on her lips and glistering eyes, but then he was sure she saw her own reflection painted on him. He swept down and captured her lips passionately, their bodies halting as the song sang it’s final chords. Gia kissed him tenderly. “What do we do?” Gia asked. “No more secrets. No more running around. We tell them tomorrow. Reveal all at the ball.” “What ball?” Gia asked, her eyes lighting up. “Your surprise,” he replied with a smile. “My surprise is a ball?” she asked with a smile. “Yes, and I can’t see a better time to let them know then.” “Tell them everything?” she asked a bit worried. “Not everything. I don’t want to raise hell, but at least lets go to ball together, as a couple. Once we get to past the ball, we tell them everything…how your mine and I’m yours.” Gia looked into his brown eyes and smiled. Nikolas chuckled, realizing just how much he had missed
everything about her. “I shall have to check if there are any other
suitors... ” She teased. “Well, then perhaps I should have to ask someone else
who is not...” “That won’t be necessary. I would be honored to go
with you.” He Moves Me He Moves Me Chapter 7 Back to the: Library |
