 Strangely Natural 2008-04-03 . chapter 14One-liners and scenes such as these:
1. “Telephones were too hazardous; they promised only brief conversations when time allowed.”
2. “You’re not,” She near growled.” Besides, I want you to come. I don’t know if you’ll like it but there’s only one way to find out. You can even help if you want.” She smiled at him.”
3. “And suddenly he knew why she loved the woods so much. She was part of the forest, a master of them, sharing with them her ethereal beauty. She belonged here, a goddess of nature. She reveled in the splendor, and in turn nature revealed her for what she really was. A goddess. A masterpiece. Beautiful.”
4. “He had found nothing, yet he persisted. Her heart lurched, glad to see him so involved.”
5. “His eyes met hers, and then he smiled. She barely contained her shock. Only the day before he had been near breaking, and in less than twenty-four hours he was smiling, smiling like he had done when they were only children and had not done since.”
6. “Dark settled upon them hours later, cloaking them with its’ inky spread.”
7. “Do you really think I’m strong?” he asked softly, gently pushing aside dirt with his p alms. He avoided her gaze, not wanting her to see his vulnerability, an emotion he had experienced too much of late. Her dirty, slender hand reached out, cupping his cheek, gently turning his face towards hers. “Yes,” She answered, looking deep into his brown eyes, eyes that were baring his tortured soul to the world, to her.”
8. “I’m not that selfish that I would keep you from doing this so you could always be with me. You’d never be happy. And, come to think about it, neither would I, knowing I caused your misery.”
9. “She found herself talking to him just to hear his deep voice, showing him objects that she knew would make him smile.”
10. “Soon his warmth infiltrated her, comforted her, making her drowsy.”
11. “She knew there would be times when he would need her again, and she would always be there for him. He knew that. She made she he did.”
12. “Somewhere in her thoughts, she heard her name, made a verbal caress by his deep voice.”
13. The end of chapter seven was just perfect as a whole, can’t piece that up, it was just right in its retched torn despair.
14. “For though her soft, sweetly curved body tempted him, and her personality seduced him into thinking things he didn’t know he could.”
15. “How can you think that would be a complication? If you ask me, having a beautiful woman love me, truly love me, could never be a problem. I imagine he feels the same way. I’m sure he’d give everything up to have someone waiting for him when he came home. Why not have that someone be you?”
16. “I can’t just show up unexpected.” “Why not? He does.” He had a point there.”
17. “If you want my opinion I think once he finds out you love him, he’d lock you up in his room with him and we’d never see either of you again. But find out for sure. Go to him. You need him. And damn if he doesn’t need you.” That was just cute ;)
18. “She expected some one shallow, and yet Cheyenne was a mystery.” That sums her up nicely.
19. At that, Maggie laughed.” Sound as though you’re in trouble then. Shall I try to keep her dirty and filthy then? Make her as unattractive as possible?” Donovan chuckled.” I’m in agony and you’re making fun.”
20. “beautiful in clothes that would have made others look careless.”
21. “just haven’t found a woman who understands me, who listens, who’s there when I need her and doesn’t expect me to be the strong one all the damn time,” he cocked his head, looking at her thoughtfully.” Save you.” She laughed at that. “I pity you then.”
22. “Night had settled over the land, shrouding it in darkness, creating an illusion of serenity and peacefulness.”
23. “She loved the wilderness, and in return it loved her, letting her stay and explore among its shadowy depths. It lent her slightly tan complexion, the luscious gold in her brown hair, creating a beautiful woman, one who was worthy to walk among the gorgeous forests and jungles of the world.”
24. “He pulled away first Maggie. I’d loose my best friend because I couldn’t control myself. I won’t do that. I will not let that happen,” determination filled her eyes, stiffening her spine.”
25. “It came naturally to him, something unconscious yet sinfully glorious.”
26. “What do you want to do? I’m not leaving you again Cheyenne. If I go or you go, either way, you’re with me.” Sweet.
27. “You’re right. As to where we can live, well why not buy a house outside of Los Angeles, you know, close enough for you but far enough away. And we can also keep this house, so we can come back whenever we want. That way, you can still have your city, but I can have my country…“Cheyenne?” he asked suddenly, his voice taking on a serious tone. “Yes?” “You know I’m going to marry you right?” She smiled at him gently, softly, moving then to stand in front of him. She lifted a hand, rubbing his rough cheek. “I know.” Defining their natural flow, with just a few words.
And the hopelessly powerful sentiments effectively portrayed make this another masterful piece, I’m happy to have read. |
