"I can do this" Tamani said to himself as he got ready to head out to the human world. He was nervous on how he would react to humans walking next to him, with out having already assumptions, that they were un-trustworthy animals.
Tam walked across the street for the first time, since Laurel came to say good-bye to him. Even though she did not say it to his face, and he knew deep down, she loved him, but it still shattered another piece of his soul.
He loved her since he could remember.
Tamani asked, to be assigned to the human world, to be able to protect Laurel better. He knew something was going to happen, he was not able to protect her from the land. He needed to put his fears aside of the "mortal" world, and be the worrier that he is to be able to not only protect laurel- it was much bigger than that- but the whole population of Fae.
He also, didn't put the idea past him that he was going to fight for Laurel, now that they were both on even grounds.
There was now, no excuse for her to deny him. He has come to the human world, for as long as it will take to win the fight, and her heart.
Laurel woke up to the sun pouring through her window, the house was quite as always. She got out of bed, put on jogging pants and a sweatshirt. Tied her hair up in a high pony-tail.
Her heart was heavy. She knew she had to say good bye to Tamani. Her heart wanted David at this time and it was wrong for her to string him along. If, he could, have happiness (she didn't want to think of him being with someone else), but who was she to say so, when she was with David.
" I love David, I love David, You did the right thing Laurel. It was the best, for the both of us" Laurel, said it over and over to herself, almost seeming like if she said it enough times, her heart would believe it.
Laurel ran down the stairs, to the kitchen to grab sugar-water that her mother made. After, they got over the whole "I am a Fairy" thing and her mother came to accept it, things were starting to go back to normal. Even though she did not like the idea of her going to Avalon.
She closed the door behind her and made her way down the block. It was still, so early that everyone was still tucked warm in there beds. She could have probably slept a little longer, but her head was to busy.
She ran, and before she knew it, she was in front of David's house. She got the warm feeling running through her, when she thought of David's hands on her and his fabulous kiss. Although, they didn't make her toes curl as Tamani's sweet nectar filled kisses did.
"Stop it", she scolded herself. It will take time she reminded herself.
As she brought her fist up to the door, the door opened revealing David who was rubbing, she guessed, was sleep out of his eyes. "Laurel?" David asked, now blinking from the sun shinning in his eyes.
"sorry, I know it's early, but I couldn't sleep and I was running.. And er.. I kinda ended up here" she rambled, when she didn't know what else to say.
David, opened his arms and Laurel stepped in them, gaining the comfort that came from the hug. She knew she made the right choice.
Again, she was till trying to convince herself and she took a big whiff of the smell coming off of his shirt.
"You want breakfast?" David said, as she scratched his head "I think my mom has some fruit" he took Laurels smile as a yes, and walked to the kitchen.
He found a pear and tossed it to her, while he scrounged up some bacon and eggs for himself.
"You are going to clog your artery's eating that stuff" laurel said as she made a face at the fatty bacon sizzling on the stove.
David turned to her and smiled, "then I will die a very happy man, with a belly full of bacon"
Laurel threw the pear core at his head, and smashed it dead-on in the center.
"Ouch" David rubbed the sore spot, "What was that for?"
"sorry, but I don't want to think about you being hurt or anything along those lines" she stood up and walked to him. He couldn't help the feeling that he got, when he watched her walk to him.
David liked the way her body moved, it seemed like, she moved to her own sound, almost the same way the wind blew. His mouth got dry as she stopped in front of him. Laurel brought her fingers up to his curly hair, and pulled to bring his lips down upon hers.
At that moment, he completely forgot that bacon was cooking on the stove. The smell of burning bacon is what brought him back to reality.
'I love you" David said to her, as he slap her behind gently as he pushed her towards the table.
His bacon was a little over cooked, more so than he liked, but he was really hungry so he put it on a plate and picked up another piece of fruit for Laurel.
He set the dish on the table while handing her an apple. "thank you", she said as she plucked it from his hand. He nodded his head in her direction.
David still couldn't believe how unbelievably lucky he was. He watched her as she took a bite from the apple. He has a fairy, for a girlfriend. He knew, he was so close to losing her to the Fairy- man that was in love with, her as well.
Even though she sat across from him at this second, he still couldn't help but have hatred jealously over Tamani.
Tamani was fairy, he was not.
He knew eventually, she would go to him. He couldn't give her everything she would want. It's not they could get married and have children, and he can't be turned into a fairy.
He shook his head to get the horrible idea's out of his head. When the time comes, he will take care of it.
For now, being young with the love of his life, that filled him so fully was enough. For now.
"so do you want to do anything today?" David asked, laurel as they both finished there breakfast.
'We can do something until, I have to go to work at 3" David would call off of work if, she asked him to.
" We can go shopping? Christmas is coming soon, and I have some money, I would like to get a head start on shopping" laurel asked, while smiling; the one where she can get what ever she wanted.
David just nodded his head. He could never say 'no' to her, even if he tried.
He got up from the table and scrapped the remaining contents of his food into the garbage and rinsed off his plate.
"I am going to go take a shower and get changed. You can watch TV, in my room if you want to"
"Yeah, I will call my mom too. I left when they were still sleeping. I don't need her to worry."
The both headed up the stairs and walked into David's room.
David went to his chest to grab clothing and told Laurel he would be right back.
Laurel couldn't help but to think what Tamani was doing at this moment. She never really got to say good bye to him. He was re-assigned to some where else. She wondered if she would ever see his beautiful face again.
No matter how hard she tried to keep him from her thoughts, he still some how weaseled himself back into them.
Laurel got the feeling of being watch, the tingle sensation that you get in the back of your neck.
She turned her head to the surrounding forest. It seemed, like it was calling to her, for her to come home. She saw something, and she couldn't help but gasp.
"Tamani"
