Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSicilien] "Oh, hoho.? Me?? An asshat?? That's very rich coming from a bitch who pretended I didn't exist some days ago," Sicilien chuckled, smoothing his hair back as he took off his hat and refitted it, but as he did so, Etienne simply started walking away.? The bounty hunter growled, stomping after her as he reached out and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to whirl about and face him.? His grip on her, however, didn't loosen, not until he forced her to get back and sit onto one of the rocks, choosing to continue standing himself.? His brows narrowed as he returned the same glare that she had given him before.? "Stop playing dumb.? I know you're better than that.? You don't get to say your piece and just walk away.? So you're going to sit there and we are going to talk." As bitter and heated he was, Sicilien felt as if his heart was going to burst and his eyes became just slightly misty.? Here she was, the love of his life, his sun and stars, alive and well, if not indignantly furious with him.? For what?? Because he dared to kiss her when he saw her?? That he was happy to see her again?? The fact that he saved her once again and this is the thanks he got in return?? Go away?? Not without answers. "Why is the reaction I get when I see you for the first time in year?.? Years, Etienne.? I killed for you.? Destroyed Palenuma.? And I know what you're going to say.? You'll say that you didn't ask me for any of that, but what did you expect me to do when I held your dead body in my arms?? And yet here you are, sitting before me, wanting nothing to do with me," he spat out, each word hurting more than the next.? Sicillien's eyes began to swell up with tears as he looked at her.? Immediately, his hands flew up to hide his face, sitting down as he hunched over, resting his elbows upon his knees.? The bounty hunter only cried twice in his life.? Once when Etienne "died," and the second when he saw her again.? He didn't know if he was shedding tears now because he was just so disappointed, relieved, or both. "Why, Etienne?? Did our past mean nothing to you?? Is just yesterday's news now and we are just two strangers meeting each other for the first time?" [Etienne] As he spoke Etienne continued to walk away. Casually throwing over her shoulder. ¡°Was that your attempt to hurt Si? ?Thank you for proving my me right... big gigantic assha...,¡± his grabbing of her arm not only forced her to stop moving but it made her gasp.? Her deep expressive eyes looking straight up into his lovely ones. And she saw it! ?He was hurting her...but she knew he knew that. And by the hurt she could see in his eyes, she knew he didn¡¯t really care at the moment.? He wanted more...so much more. ¡°I do not have anything to say,¡± she whispered her own eyes misting. Her voice tight. ? it was true. She didn¡¯t have anything to say. Not because she didn¡¯t want to tell him everything, but because she couldn¡¯t tell him anything. his life depended on her just staying quiet. Especially now that he had learned that she wasn¡¯t dead. But she simply didn¡¯t have a choice. ? But the hurt and pain she could now hear in his voice...she had to close her eyes and take a deep breathe. Had to Steel her resolve.? When he cried she broke. Etienne sunk to the ground to pull him into her arms. Her own tears falling slowly and quietly down her cheeks. She held onto him, cradling his head against her ample bosom. Etienne began to sing a soft lullaby. A lullaby she would sing to their unborn child as she rocked in the rocking chair he made for her and he sat at her feet, his head in her lap. It was a sweet song about forever unconditional love the haunting sound of her alto voice swirled around them. When she was done she kissed the top of his head, Her hand gently stroking his hair.? ¡°We have to be just strangers, Si. ¡° she whispered. ¡°I know you want answer. But you have to let this go...let me go.¡± _._,_._,_ |
