Hello all!
Long time and no post, right? Gosh, how I've kind of missed LJ in a sense... I simply wanted to give everyone here (if there are those who still do follow here) that the next installment of I Am The Liar and You Are The Saint is coming soon! It's been so long since the last, about five months, and goodness it feels good to be writing this fic again. I'm so sorry I've abandoned it for so long. I actually wanted to get the next chapter posted before Christmas, which obviously didn't happen. So as a gift I have a little tiny unedited excerpt from it. Just a little Christmas present from me since I'm a slacker and can't give a full update just yet ;)
Naya raised her brow, but chose to remain silent and instead opt for another soft kiss of Heather’s wonderfully peachy lips. Heather took Naya’s hands and interlaced their fingers together.
“I… I feel like I have so much to tell you. Tonight made me think a lot,” Heather started quietly and Naya nodded supportively.
“Naya I…” Heather looked into Naya’s eyes and her mind went blank again. She breathed out through her nostrils in frustration as she continued to toy with Naya’s fingers. “I have so much to say, but I don’t know where to start without sounding like some mushy sap that came out of a romantic comedy flick…”
Naya smiled knowingly, “It’s okay, Heather. Take it slow, remember?”
“I know, but… Naya I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. And you deserve better than this.”
“As opposed to what?” Naya practically chuckled. “Heather we went over this… and I’m not sure how else I can tell you how happy I am being with you-”
Heather put up her hand to stop her and tossed her frozen pea bag to the side to concentrate.
“No, no… I… I know that and I’m so, so happy too. I need you to know that I care about you so much. It’s just that, sometimes I feel like I’m trying so hard to make this perfect, when it already practically is. But then I keep on overthinking things or, or I freeze up when we want to tell people and chicken out when you do that amazing thing with your fingers. It’s not till after all that when I realize the only thing that matters is how much I’m in…” Heather had ranted out wildly, expressing her bottled up thoughts with her hands. But suddenly her voice quieted and all she could see was shiny chocolate eyes.
Her mouth opened, but nothing came out; her words yet again caught in her throat. She grunted angrily, never more frustrated with her torn mind in her entire life. This time Naya raised her hand and placed her index finger against Heather’s lips to get her to calm down. The soft touch quieted Heather. A shy, supportive smile spread on Naya’s pouty lips.
“I know, Heather,” she said simply in a quiet whisper.
Heather let go of a pained sigh, but still let slip at relieved smile. She was still mentally kicking herself. She was being so ridiculous and so immature she knew. She truly wished she were braver for Naya’s sake. Somehow, Naya seemed to read her mind as she squeezed her hands in reassurance. With Naya holding her hands gently and nose nuzzling at her cheeks and neck, Heather felt like everything was going to be okay in time… she couldn’t believe how lucky she was. If it were anyone else, they would rid of her in a heartbeat with her commitment issues.
“I guess I’m not used to this…” Heather whispered against Naya’s cheeks.
“What do you mean?” she whispered back into her neck.
“Being in a relationship with someone who just… knows.”
Such a little tease! I know... wish I could give more away than that, but I wouldn't want to spoil it!
Just a little reminder that I'm still here and very much dedicated to finish this story for all of you. I think you will all enjoy this long awaited Liar/Saint chapter. I know this story has had it's ups and downs, but in the end, it will always be my first and I'll be forever be amazed with everything that this story was for me and for so many readers. This journey has been an amazing one... to think I started this story about this time last year. Don't worry, the fic isn't finished yet. I have a few more chapters after this one. But in the holiday spirit, I wanted to let you all know how much you have all given back to me as readers with your reviews and comments. You are the ones that keep me going. To many more chapters and stories to come!
Happy holidays :)
