Our Llama, Lion Love

First Kiss

As Sage and Rachel settled into life in London, they established a routine. Every morning they would meet the boys and go for breakfast in their apartments or visit Starbucks and then the rest of the day consisted of just hanging out in the city or catching up at home and of course some Pokèmon sessions. The pairs grew closer with every passing moment and spent most of their time in the presence of each other. Dan was clearly falling for Sage, whenever she came near he could feel his heart hammering against his ribs and although Sage tried to seem relaxed and cool when Dan was around, she too couldn't help but look forward to anything she did with Dan. Rachel and Phil were already extremely fond of each other and were constantly holding hands and hugging.

Sange and Rachel treasured the time they spent with the boys, and Dan and Phil alike. The pairs seemed destined to be together.

"Okay, so Saturday for the fair?" Rachel held the phone to her ear. "Yup" Phil's voice sounded from the speaker. "Great, see ya then Philsicles," She giggled at the nickname she had made up for him. Phil hearts pounded at the her adorable laugh. "Haha yeah, bye Rachellito," He laughed back. Phil was pleased to hear Rachel's infectious giggles increase from the other line. They both said bye again and hung up. Rachel flung her phone onto her bed and lay down on her back, sighing with happiness. She felt her heart beat loudly and giggled again. "Jesus,"She thought to herself. "I've never giggled like that since Eric..." She winced at the thought of her ex. His golden complexion, his sandy blonde hair curled perfectly into a quiff, the water droplets sticking to his long eyelashes, his piercing aqau eyes. Before she knew it, tears clouded her vision and startted running down her face. "No," Rachel said quietly, forcing away the thoughs of her ex boyfriend. His face came into her mind, as she tried desperately to suppress the thoughts. To push them down into the deep pit in her mind where they belonged. "NO." She screamed out at the wall. Breathing deeply, Rachel calmed herself down and glancing down at the pools of tears that have soaked onto her peach coloured shirt.

Then suddenly an image of Phil invaded her thoughts, tall and lanky, his icy eyes shining, a small lopsided grin on his face as her eyes slightly lit up at his adorable crooked smile and shining eyes. Rachel gently wiped the tears from her face, straightened her shirt and stood up shakily. She disappeared out the room and ran hurriedly down the stairs, opening the door and walking out into the cool, crisp London air. The wind brushed away the tears and she wandered down the busy road thinking about Phil, Dan and Sage, wondering if she had finally found the person to replace the hole in her heart that Eric had left.

Sage lay there, in pools of rumpled sheets and pillows. Her skinny frame was hidden by a mass of blankets and the only sign of someone actually in there was her lightning blue hair, standing out prominently against the black duvet, And of course the copius snoring that sounded from her room. After tossing and turning for, what seemed, an eternity, Sage slowly awoke, wiping her eyes, before wincing at the midday sun pouring through her wide window. Blinded by the light, she attemped to untangle herself from the blankets, and fell of the bed. "Blerg," she mumbled in some sort of curse. A metalic objects caught her eye as she sat on the floor, the blankets surrounding her. As Sage reached for her phone, the screen lit up, recieving a message. She quickly tapped in the password and glanced at the time. "12:32" She sighed, regreting staying up until 4:00 a.m. last night on the internet. Sage's face lit up when she saw the text.
