Preparations (Shea)

[Shea]

And with a chuckle at his comment the moment was broken. She sat up and rubbed her eyes gently. It had been a wonderful hour spent together from the time she opened the door until the time she sat up. The spell had indeed been broken and now she opened her eyes wondering what they were to do now.

She leaned against the headboard of her bed and thought about it for a moment before she got an idea. Getting up with a smile she moved to her dresser. On top was a cd player. Running a hand over her cd rack she picked out exactly what she wanted. The cd was placed in her player and the song began.

She pulled Darian off the bed and put her arms around his neck with a bright smile on her face. She took the proper form for this kind of classical song her hand took his and the other lay on his shoulder while his on her waist. Counting in her head briefly she began to dance to the song with him.

Moving with the fluid grace that they had from the years of training for the noble events they both attended. She said nothing but looked into his eyes with that same soft look that he had recieved after proposal.

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian heard her chuckle at his comment and gave a small smile the moment broken but, he realized an hour had gone by since this all started. Had time really flown that fast? Well that was rather amazing. He gave a smile as he watched her rub her eyes in an almost cute way as he streched out slightly. He saw her move around getting an idea on what they could do and he patiently waited not saying a word yet. He watched her move over to her dresser and began to mess with her CD player and CDs. Finally the classical music began to play. It was something Darian hadn't heard in awhile and he got off the bed and followed her to the center of the room.

This is a very good idea...it'll let me get familiar with it again.

"Good call," Darian said with a smile as he took the proper form with her and he gazed into her eyes giving a smile. Both were of similar height and Darian kissed her cheek lightly as he moved with her in a dance. A fluid and graceful dance that had been there since when their parents had danced the floors of balls. He moved with her not having to count the steps as he knew them by heart. Both of them had the years of training from attending boring balls and events and he moved with her.

"This is turning out to be a magical evening, and it is even better since I am sharing it with you Shea," Darian twirled her lightly and brought her close again his eyes soft and filled with happinesss as he met her gaze.

The dance was soothing and perfect. Something special to help move things along and something they would need for all the parties they would have to throw before the wedding and then the dance at the wedding. Allready plans were forming in Shea's mind of what she wanted and when. How she wanted to get married and things like that.

She had never really expected to fall in love much less be proposed to after being in the school for only a few months yet Darian was always trying to surprise her and this time he succeeded.

Several minutes past before the song ended and she parted with Darian. She moved to the cd player and turned it off sitting on the edge of her bed once more. She smiled for a moment at how her life had changed suddenly.

"Stay the night, Darian." she said softly as she looked up at him with her green eyes. The light outside was already dying. But she didn't want this special night to end.

[Darian Dumonte]

He moved with Shea in a fluid and elegant dance and almost gave a smile at the movement because he knew that they would be doing this a lot. There would be plenty of dances to be done for the preparation ceremonies and then the wedding ball itself but, he didn’t mind at all in fact he looked forward to it. Darian moved with Shea around the floor slowly and gracefully his steps and movements in tune with her. They went through a dance that was heart-warming and graceful as he closed his eyes almost enjoying this moment. He felt her moving with him in that slow and graceful dance her movements more refined then his; but, his own steps were more graceful since he was matching hers.

Darian heard the song end and then Shea backing away for a moment as she headed over to take care of the CD player and he gave a nod. He paced to the window and looked out at the dying light of the evening coming but, he didn’t want this moment to end just yet. There was so much more time he wanted to spend with her to especially, make up for the time they had lost during the feud. These moments were magical and special not only to Shea but, himself as well as they were sharing these moments with each other. It was something that touched Darian deeply and made him realize that life was more then just what you did. It was who you shared it with as well.

He heard her words and turned to face her it seemed that she had been thinking the exact same thing about not wanting the night to end. How interesting that their thoughts were working so in tune tonight now that they had made the commitment to each other and Darian turned to face her. He walked over to the bed and leaned forward placing a gentle and loving kiss on her lips. His fingers moved and slowly threaded through her hair gently as he joined her by sitting on the bed beside her.

“I would be honored to stay the night, it is rather lonely in the evenings when I can not feel your soft presence nuzzled against me. I admit that I have become rather fond of that since you’re a very cozy person to nuzzle up against.” Darian said with a smile as he kissed her cheek lightly and pulled her into his lap and leaned against the wall.

“Is there anything else you wanted to do tonight?”
