pulled
away from the sudden shock, but neither moved from where they sat.
They stared at each other for awhile until Sarah became too tired
to keep her eyes open. Leaning on Connor again she felt the jolt
again, but this time neither of them pulled away. He put his left
arm around her and she had never felt more comfortable or as safe
being in his arms.
    Almost instantly, his warmth seeped into her
and was so pleasant that she could scarcely believe what had
happened and was transpiring at the moment.
    The last thoughts that she remembered
was, “Good night Connor and thank you for
coming to my aid. I’m deeply grateful. It was great getting to meet
you. I hope we can become close friends in the future.”
     
     
     
     
     
Left and Return
     
    As Sarah, continued wearing Kara’s
poncho and gently sleeping on his shoulder, Connor stared out into
the quiet and rainy night. His clothes were cool and wet yet his
mind weren’t on the clothes, but on this beautifully young yet
ancient woman sleeping upon his shoulder. “Wow she is so pretty. She seems so frail, but she did things
even I would have difficulty doing. By the way what is this shock
that isn’t stopping while I hold her?” Then a strange
noise caught his undivided attention and pulled him from his
thoughts.
    Connor scanned all around, searching
their surroundings for the source of this slow and soft sound. Then
he felt the gentle vibrations on his occupied shoulder and so he
looked down. Sarah began sleeping soundly and so deeply that he
barley realized she was snoring. “Well now
isn’t her snore adorable. Hmm the last time I heard someone snoring
was Kara yet hers were so very annoying and more than a touch
disturbing. I put a stop to that instantly by putting my old hiking
socks in her mouth. Since then, Kara hasn’t snored once.” Connor smiled to himself at remembering that day. “Well I adore your snore Sarah and I’ll never put
a gag in your mouth.”
    “Isn’t this something
unprecedented, I’ve never had thoughts about anyone like you before
Sarah and we have only just met this day. I’m just glad she doesn’t
look at me as a freak as others do.” His thoughts
remained on only one subject: Sarah.
    A few hours later the clouds ended
their liquid barrage and cleared, and he was right there was a full
moon tonight. Its soft pale glow brightened the surroundings and
reflected off her flawless features and ethereal beauty. “I wonder what others will think of Sarah and I?
...Yeah right, like that will ever happen… Dream on Connor! She’s
at least three hundred!!! And I’m nineteen…”
     
    Later the sky began to brighten and
Connor knew that dawn will be approaching in about an hour. “Well I’d better wake up my princess…Wait when did
she become mine”? Somewhere in the back of his mind,
the possessive part answered “When you
decided to protect her even more fiercely than Kara…” “Oh well.” he said quietly
    Pulling Sarah closer to himself he put his
lips close to her ear and whispered “Sun’s almost up, Princess.
It’s time to wake up.” The closeness to her stirred his raging
heartbeat and he felt the radiating warmth of her skin upon his
lips. And her scent became even more intoxicating up close.
    As she turned her head to his voice she
opened her eyes to find Connor’s face just an inch away. Her
fluttering eyes shot wide open, but to his surprise she didn’t lean
away from their closeness. In fact she seemed comfortable. As he
continued to stare into those deep and beautiful green eyes, one
thought kept repeating in his mind. “Kiss
her. Kiss her. Kiss her…”
    The breeze shifted bringing the smell
of wild apples. “Yes, I had better get
Sarah something to eat. She must be a little famished.” He thought quickly. He regretfully pulled his head away from
hers saying “Are you hungry? I smell apples. I’ll go get us some
breakfast.”
    “Ok I’ll be right here.” She said quietly,
not once looking
