Riara in Morocco

Chapter 6: Final Chapter

Hey guys! New part… and last part I have to make unfortunately. Too many things are not giving me time to write these days and feels like I will not be able to see a light to the end of it. I had this whole journey with this story but unfortunately I will have to end it sooner than I wanted to... not to say I could come back a very long time later and complete it, but most likely I will have lost the feel of the story by then. So here is an ending… a quick one but at least something for me to leave it off on for you guys. Anyway, thank you guys for being here, for reading my story and sharing the journey until here! I so grateful for you guys!! Thank you for all the comments too!! and votes!! and for being patient with me with ever update. Anyways, hope you all enjoy, and can’t wait for s4! I saw they finished filming and am so excited to see the new season! we need to see more of Riara and hope they give us something! And sorry I could do more for the story. Take care guys!

A tungsten lamp on the porch illuminates a gentle dim glow of russet light over the Rafe and Kiara as they stood on the porch and watched the car disappear into the far distance of the dirt road. It begins to vanish into the deeper shade of the night. Rafe looks for where the car disappeared into the darkened road, where the tailgate lights gradually diminished from sight and the car drove further off, veering onto another road. 

They’d been alone…

It was late- well past midnight, and the night was dark enough to expose all the stars littered over the indigo sky. The breeze picks up, and it becomes a crispy cool, playing with her hair, the iciness bites into Kie’s bare arms- she held her arms tightly, shielding it from the cold, and rubbing at them to provide herself warmth.

Rafe shifts on his feet. He could hear the movement of her hands over her arms, and then her soft shuffles. His lips quirk up, tensing on the thought of facing her, some nerves coming on… but he’d been waiting to finally talk to Kie… he’d been burning to know what had happened between them, what had been on her mind… why Kie kissed him?… and now all he felt was his nerves pick up, pulling at his chest. 

He turns, lifts his gaze, glimpses softly at Kie, taking her in momentarily. 

Her cheeks stain a rose tinge, and her smile flickers across her face as her eyes come up to meet his. Rafe could tell she’d looked slightly nervous, and cold, running her hands over her arms as she hugged herself. 

The soft glow of light gently touched her face, her honey skin covered in a light velvet amber glow- and she looked worldly to him… Rafe thinks he could indulge in gazing at her all night- he doesn’t want to admit how he itched to kiss her again- how much he’d felt swell in his chest when their lips had meet... Rafe had suppressed all he felt for Kie long ago, all those feelings, those emotions he wished to not resurface, and now he thinks he's done it- his dug them up, he'd stepped over, let them out- his going to inevitably destroy himself- letting his heart chase something that would most probably not return the way he felt... something he kind of wished he couldn't say- he'd felt familiar to… His eyes gently flicker over her… she was breathtakingly beautiful and his done for… 

Kie clears her throat, drawing him out of his thoughts, and the air felt slightly tight… he could feel the words linger in her eyes she wanted to say- they held there, softly gleamer at him- and he lifts his gaze up, focusing more firmly, his eyes steady to hers, drawn to needing to know what were held in her thoughts. 

She looks away, disappointed that she can’t get her words out- the words stuck in her throat… she felt some emotions swimming in his eyes and it made her brain stop. Kie twists her hands tightly in each other as she forces her words out, and then her eyes flicker up again to meet his more steady this time.
