The Die Is Cast - Chapter 4 - Dazzling
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
By The Legendary Redhawke
Dear loves, how can I choose between thee?
My angel didst I leave, slumbering peacefully on her satin pillow, her
beautiful face locked in a smile for me. Moonlight romance was a
fickle thing, and I had hoped that she planned not on its daily
forthcoming. She knew I was with Serena, and told her not. Maybe it
was fear for herself, that Serena might see my angel as a traitor,
which far was she from. I was the traitor, to turn my back on a love
destined throughout the centuries.
Neither we two could bear to tell such unspeakables to one so close.
Serena was as a sister to my sweet angel of love, and as a wife to me.
I wished a million times that some other man had loved Serena, or Mina,
to but leave me in total peace. Nay, 'twas indeed myself, stuck between
two loves. I'd dated multiple women before, but this was a new
ballgame.
I had to see my bunny, and my angel, and yet but could they two be the
same person, 'twould I be happier than glee itself. Alas, they are
none,
but two teenage girls, whom both I love. This was to be the one
decision
which would shape my life, and I had but a single chance at it.
I met my bunny at her school, with a bouquet of glorious flowers. If
Mina had attended this same school, 'twould I be torn. I left the
flowers in her dazzling hands, and mounted my motorcycle to be off, to
see her once more that evening. The tiny note beheld within the petals
denoted all, and left none to imagination or assumption.
As the orange sun set beneath the brilliant Tokyo horizon, the radiance
of Serena's smile glowed brighter than ever, and as the solemn moon rose
above the Tower, her eyes sparkled like the stars above. In my tuxedo
and cape, I bounded toward her. She sat, awaiting the arrival of her
hallowed prince. In a flash, the shadows of the night became my flowing
cape upon her balcony. She opened the window without second thought,
and let the gentle breeze throw her beautiful blonde hair about the
room.
With ne'er a word, I outstretched my hand to she, my bunny, my love, as
a smile crossed my face. She took my hand without a second thought, and
stepped onto the balcony. I held her against my chest as we bounded
once
more, this time toward the park. Dancing in the roses with my love was
all I could dream about. Was this the night of epic romance, or had
that
act been played out already?
We landed softly upon the emerald grass, Serena's lovely figure still
clutching my chest. I released her gently, and she smiled at me
likewise.
As I stood, her dainty figure rose with mine, and clutched my hand
softly
and lovingly. The stars above shone brighter than all the angels on
high,
yet my Serena shone far brighter. What beauty lay here before me. At
that
moment, there was no Mina.
Moments are just that though, and as such, my rational thoughts returned
instantly. Serena looked at me in wonderment, and I returned to the
self
which had brought her here. I gazed into the ice blue eyes set
wonderfully
in the dazzling face before me, and said those words she ad longed to
hear.
"I Love You Serena"
Before she could reply with the words I knew she would speak, I kissed
her
gently. When our lips parted, the look in those deep blue eyes spoke
the
magical words a million times over. Regardless of her dazzling look,
she
spoke to me in a whispered voice, "Thank you."
"For what?" I replied, puzzled at what she meant. I hadn't done
anything
beyond the norm, at least as far as I could see.
"For being you." she said as she buried her head into my chest. Her
eyes
closed, I stroked her hair, and kissed her shoulder lightly.
Unknowingly,
we had begun the dream. There we danced in the glorious moonlight. My
hands rested upon her soft waist, as we spun beneath the stars. The
undeniable feeling of d�ja vu had set in.
She was soon asleep in my arms, like the sweet bunny that she was.
Before
either of us knew it, I had laid her upon her bed, and closed the
window.
This time, I would be there. We lay down together upon her soft bed,
letting Luna curl up between us. I wrapped my arms around my beautiful
Serena, and began to softly weep.
I laid a gentle kiss on her cheek before I too succumbed to sleep.
*** And so I dance with you in my dreams, dear Serena. You smile at me,
I guess ***
*** I'm just a fool. I gave up so much just to hold you in my arms.
You may ***
*** never know just how
much. ***
Why me?

I'd like to mention Patch, and her story "A Destined
Love......Forgotten?" because
it pretty much inspired this whole park thing. Thanks Patch.
