(Page 2 of 2) Anarchistic Knights-a serialadventure Chapter 18B-Becca by Joe BandelYou will probably get to initiate me again."
She smiled, "we'll just have to wait and see. I've got to get to the circle now though. See you later, ok?"
With that she gave Tobal a hug and he went looking for the girls. More and more he looked forward to the circle time he shared with Melanie and Becca and sometimes Nikki. He had come to think of it as something they did together as friends.
He had noticed the last few months that Melanie was spending a lot of time with Becca. Part of him was sad and upset but part of him was honest enough to realize Becca was a lot different than he had imagined her to be. He had been thinking about her quite a bit these last few days and didn't really know why. She wasn't at all what he had expected.
She hadn't shown the vicious, aggressive behaviour she had during the disasterous night of the Halloween dance. Instead, she seemed more aloof, unemotional and withdrawn as if she was hiding some deep secret or misery and keeping it to herself. It was only with Melanie that she seemed to cheer up and laugh about things. Several times he suspected they might be laughing about him but pushed that thought away. He was hoping to get a little time alone with Melanie. But it seemed that was not to be and with good humor he filled his tankard and moved over to sit beside the two girls.
"There any room for me?", he teased.
Melanie and Becca both jumped with delight and took turns giving him a hug and a kiss. Melanie's hug was delicious and his arms folded around her as their lips met in a kiss that was longer and more passionate than he had been expecting. He took his time thoroughly enjoying it and almost regretfully stepped back.
"My turn", Becca quipped and stepped up to him with a glint in her green eyes he didn't recognize. She pulled the hood off and shook her red hair so that it cascaded freely around the fur of her jacket. Then she reached up and pulled his own hood back and ran her fingers throught the hair at his temples till her fingers found the back of his neck and pulled his lips down to hers.
It seemed as if the universe had stopped and there was only this one moment frozen in eternity as he breathed her essence into his lungs and heart and breathed his back into her. Almost reflexively his arms tightened around her and crushed her against his body. Their lips fed on each other with a passion that consumed them in an whirlwind of feelings he had never felt before.
He moved first lifting his head up and shifting his grip as he stepped back. Her eyes met his in a soundless plea that he couldn't answer. He saw the hurt come into her eyes as he moved back and looked away.
"Wow", he said. " I need to sit down after all that and I'd better sit between you two so you don't fight over me." Instantly he knew that he had done and said the wrong thing. Both girls instantly went from being glad to see him to cold as death itself. He pulled the hood back up and so did Becca. They sat in frozen silence.
