I shook my head at Zara, who was sitting on my bed.
"I really dont wanna talk right now..." I said. It was true. I was still hurt over Caelin's kiss. It had truly been the most perfect moment of my life, and it pained me more to pretend otherwise. And...
I hurt me to see the look of despare on Caelin's face every time I saw him. His impossibly dark eyes were no longer sarcastic, or witty. They were broked. He looked like a beaten puppy. Who, y'knoe, had big black wings...
"Deliah, hun, its about Caelin." Zara said.
"What about him?"
"What do you really think of him?" I could tell she was bursting to say something.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you really hate him as much as you seem to?" Zara asked.
"Yes. Well, no. I dont know." I flopped onto my pillows. "I feel like there's something pulling me toward him, as if he is where I am supposed to be. I think I hate him, but I need him. Does that make any sense?"
"Nope." said Zara cheerfuly.
I sighed and continued. "I feel like there's something deeper to him. I know there's reason he brought me here. I dont know what it is, but," I took a breath, "I think theres a lot more to know about him. And, well, about me."
Zara was almost bouncing up and down. "But, Delaih, dont you see? There is a reason-"
"God, Zara, do you want to know the truth?" I inturuppted (sp?)
Zara tilted her head to the side. "What?"
"I think I love him." I was feeling so sleepy now. So warm. This relevation was true, and that exploded inside me all at once. I loved Caelin, and in a way that nobody has ever loved somebody.
I swear Zara shrieked. "Deliah, thats great, because-"
"Promise not to tell him?" I begged.
"Huh?"
"He cant know. Please?"
Zara sighed, looking crestfallen. "Sure."
With my last bit of consiousness (sp?) I said, "Thank you."
I drifted to sleep.
**Caelin**
Zara walked into my room, hanging her head. I didnt know why, because I felt great...
"Did you tell her?" I asked.
"No. She fell asleep."
"Perfect!"
Zara's head snapped up, her cat-green eyes confused. "Wait, what?"
"I've given it some thought. I want Deliah to love me before you tell her."
Zara's eyes got wide. "Uhuh. Okay. Good." she walked over to my wall and...
Promptly started banging her head against it.
I rushed over to stop her, taking her by her shoulders. She rubbed at one of the small white horns on her head.
"What the fvck?!" I said.
"I CANT TELL YOU!" Said Zara.
"Tell me what?"
"Did you not get my last statement? I made a promise. I'm sorry, Caelin."
She turned and walked out of the room, grumbling.
