Running On Empty

Chapter 29: Just the Beginning

Hello you guys!

I am so happy to present you with the new and well overdue chapter of this story! I finally had time to get away from college work and I am enjoying my spring break now! I have to say that I am so glad that you all continue to read my story even after I have been gone for a while. With this chapter, I had a lot of fun writing it. I think I will be adding a second part to this chapter later on. It does not feel to complete yet. Who knew that writing a love story would make me feel this excited. I hope that you have all been doing well. Thank you to the person who just encouraged me with their words in the last chapter. I tend to get writer's block a lot, so it's always nice to see that there are fans that are there to cheer me on!

I think I will be writing a side story for Zootopia as well because it has become such a big inspiration. For those people who are fans of WildeHopps, I hope you will give this side story a chance. I really think that a lot of my inspirations come from that movie. Someone that I like as well finds their story to be magnificent. I can hope that the creators will make a second movie with a powerful message. 

Feel free to leave any comments or favorites! 

I will be able to reply more since out of school now!

Her arms wrapped around me for the first time in two whole years!

This must be a dream, right?

My fingers shook, as I stroked Silya's hair. I felt the hairband that was holding her ponytail in place and untied it, letting her long black hair fall. I liked her hair this way the best.

I listened to her breathing, her heart beating to mine.

Her and I are finally one.

"You're really home, Silya!" I dug my face into her shoulders, like a child that had just been found after being lost in the mall.

Silya held me, tightly, her fingers gripping my back like a newborn baby. "You missed me, huh?"

She pulled away for a split second to look at me, but I pulled her back in, pressing my lips against hers. Admittedly, I might have rushed this, but she was finally here after all this time.

Her lips instantly locked in with mine. They were soft, and a bit chapped. I tasted blood at the tip of my tongue. Her breath melted me, making me weak to my knees. It was hot, wet, sticky. Our tongues smacking against each other, overlapping. Her saliva was in my mouth and mine in hers. My hands wrapped around her waist, pressing her against my body.

She is here! This is NOT a dream!

I wanted to push her against something. I wanted her to stay with me in this moment just a little more.

She sprang back a little and smiles at me gently, "Now, this is what I missed all along!" Her dark brown eyes gleamed with excitement, pushing me beyond my limit.

"I'm sorry, I guess I did it without thinking that you needed air." I chuckled nervously. I couldn't help but smile at the way she looked. She hadn't changed a bit since we last saw each other. Her hands were stuffed in the pockets of her sky-blue jacket. She had on long jeans that stuck tightly, showing off her figure with her dirty sneakers.

"You look a lot taller than before," she smiles, looking back at me, noticing how in awe I was. "I didn't think you would be that much taller than me." She grabs a crutch, and laughs lightly, "It looks like you are more comfortable with using the crutches too."
