OOM: Nightmare

Alone

"Please." The word is a whimper. Sara turns restlessly, bumping into Mark.

Unloved.

"Don't leave me--no, it wasn't me I swear it wasn't me..." Her body trembles, sweat gathering on her forehead.

Unwanted

"Mark, no Mark I love you I need you please......"

Her hand reaches out, seeking someone, anyone, finding only solitude, though he is beside her.

She cries, still caught in the dream, in the nightmare, in the reality she still believes she will see.

He kisses her deeply for a long moment, then gets up. "Hold on a minute." It all makes sense when he returns about two minutes later with something in his hand. Opening his hand, lying innocently simple there, is an engagement ring, a perfect one-carat diamond in a platinum setting. "I guess I should make it all official."

She can't speak.

She just holds out her hand, tears welling in her eyes once again.

But they are from happiness.

Mark beams, putting the ring on her hand, and wrapping his arms around her, kissing her again. "I love you, Sara. And I'm never leaving you. No matter what."

"I love you, Mark. So much." She kisses him back, holding him tightly.

He can't even find words, just kisses her back. Part of him is still on the floor that she actually accepted.

He'll figure out logistics later. For now, he just wants to spend time with Sara. His fiancee. That's going to take some getting used to.

"This isn't a dream." Said like she wants to be sure.

"No, it's not a dream, Sara. I promise you it's not." He kisses her. "We're going to get married." It feels strange, somehow, saying that. It's what he wants, though, more than anything in the universe.

"We are." She begins laughing, but it is a joyous sound.

Mark's just beaming. If he was grinning any more, he might actually be glowing. "I just... wow." He grins, and decides to kiss her again, instead of fumbling for words.

"I don't think I'll have that nightmare again."

[identity profile] bohemian-mark.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, good." He smiles at her. "I'm not leaving."

"I'm not leaving." She is still clinging. "We'll figure everything else out."

"It'll work out. Because I'm not losing you." It's more confident than he's sounded in a long time, if ever.

"Good. I'm not losing you."

[identity profile] bohemian-mark.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
He kisses her again. "I can't believe this is really happening." For all of his confidence, he's still in a state of shock.

"Me neither." She buries her face against his shoulder. "Nothing good has ever come from a nightmare."

[identity profile] bohemian-mark.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sometimes good can come from the strangest things." Like a mugging. Or a blown-out candle. Or a protest. He takes her hand, the one with the ring. "I promise this will be good, Sara. I promise with everything that I have."

"Don't promise to take the blame for the things that life might throw at us," she says gently. "But I can and will promise to be there every step of the way." And after if I have anything to say about it.

"I love you." He kisses her again. "We can take on anything together."

"We can damned well try. I love you."

Mark just beams at her some more. "This is amazing. I... yeah." He leans over and kisses her.

Which they're likely to continue doing, and Sara certainly will not complain. Her ring catches the glint of lighting from under the hall door, glistening.
