A nightmare from the past (Editing)

Chapter 20

Seeing the gleam in her eyes and her inviting lips, made his body tense up once again. Knowing this was probably the last time they would have together before she had to leave, and he wanted to make it last forever in her memory.

He gently brushed her long dark hair, watching as it billowed around her head on the pillow. He inhaled the beautiful vision of her, smiling at her, then he lowered his mouth to hers in a sweet tender kiss.

"I have no intension to go easy on you " he breathed as they slowly parted, "I want you to remember this forever."

Saying that, he enveloped his arms around her and commenced what he had promised to to with a breathtaking and passionate kiss.

Sitting on the porch of the boardinghouse, Kid Curry looked around. He had come to like this place, and the people of this town, a lot. Well, perhaps not Mrs Tibbs, the merchantile owner...he could certainly manage without her. But all the others, Millie and Lorne in particular. They had become good friends. He knew it would be hard leaving this place, but they had to. Leaving places were something they were used to, but this would be somehow harder than usual.

All of a sudden he heard a familiar barking and he looked towards where it came from. Around the bend in the road came Octo leaping like crazy, and after him came Millie and Lorne comfortably seated in a buggy.

He stood up and greeted them with a smile and tip of his hat as they climbed down and walked towards him.

"Lorne! Millie! "

Lorne shook his hand nodded to him with a smile that showed both pride and gratitude.

"Thaddeus " he responded, looking around." Where's..?"

Before he had time to finish his question, Millie had stepped up on the porch about to enter the house. Kid grabbed her gently on her arm, spinning her slowly around to face him.

"Eh, let's not go in there, not just yet, " he saw her giving him a quizzical look, frowning, " Joshua is sort of saying his goodbye to Chyenne. It might take a while.."

Lorne had to stiffle a chuckle as he saw the expression on his wifes face when the meaning of it dawned on her. First her jaw dropped, then her face turned crimson as she tried to say something, but faltered.

Having tried his best to get everybodys attention, Octo got fed up with jumping up and down, and instead he started barking.

"Oh, I'm so sorry my friend " Curry greeted him too with a nice round of pats on the back, " Of course you gonna get your share "

The three of them sat down on the edge of the porch, talking, and in between sentences Curry entertained Octo by throwning sticks for him to fetch.

After what seemed like an eternity, the door behind them finally opened, and a love flushed Chyenne slowly stepped out. She was dressed in that yellow dress Millie had bought to her, the one she first had wanted to get rid of, but after Millie had refused to take it back, she had been forced to keep it. Deep inside she had to admit to herself she was quite happy that Millie had said no to having it back...she actually liked it. It made her feel like a woman...and together with Heyes, she wanted to feel like a woman, she needed to feel like a woman, and by god, he sure made her feel like a woman, in every single fibre of her body.

She smiled shyly and nodded to Lorne and Millie.

A moment later Heyes came out. Curry observed him from the corner of his eye. The look on Heyes' face showed satisfaction but also a hint of deep and profound misery.

"Lorne, Millie " Heyes shook Lorne's hand and graced Millie with a polite smile, then he eyed the buggy in the yard in front of the house, " so...all set and ready to go?"
