| THE ADVENTURES OF THE O'CONNELL FAMILY Page 21 |
| Rolling her eyes, Gabrielle looked at Jonathan disbelievingly, "Are you always such a wimp or did I catch you on a good day?" Snorting Jonathan started to shoot back with something just as witty, but then stopped when he realized he didn't have anything in mind so just snorted again to make up for his wide open mouth. Jonathan stared at the fire for a few moments until he realized that Gabrielle was looking at him with an amused half smile. His lips tugged to smile themselves but instead he put up his defense, "What?" He could have sworn that the young thief blushed then, although he thought it impossible, but she looked down before he could tell for sure. "You just remind me of someone." "Alex perhaps?" Her nose wrinkled as she grinned, "I suppose so. He has you and Evelyn's eyes." Beautiful eyes, she thought to herself. Jonathan nodded a few times, just watching the beauty in front of him. There was no doubt in his mind that this was the girl in his dreams. She had the same big brown eyes, tan skin and beautiful dark hair. Full lips too, he noted lustfully. Before he could stop himself, it just came out, "You are even more beautiful then the dreams..." Evie (IcePrincess [email protected]) March 25, 2002 Gabrielle stared at him open mouthed. Not knowing what to say. "You aren't so bad looking yourself either." She said looking at him from head to toe. "Uh oh, Jonathon has another crush." Rick jokingly whispered to Evie. "At least it isn't that bitch Bonnie." She said smiling. Then all of a sudden there was a noise from outside.. Like someone around there..They all turned in that direction, and Gabrielle went to see what it was.. What she saw made her gasp..... Heidi Rittner ([email protected]) March 28, 2002 Gabrielle could not believe who was standing at the door. �What in the name of Horus are you doing here? You must be begging for a beating!� All of her rage and anger build up as she drew back her fist and was about to send it flying into Bonnie�s face with every ounce of her strength, but a hand grabbed her arm. She frowned and turned to see that it was Jonathan holding her back. �Bonnie! My love! What has happened to you?� She felt her heart shatter into a million pieces as she heard him refer to Bonnie as �his love� and at the way he looked at Bonnie. At that time, the rest of the group had joined them by the door and they all had a look at the visitor. It was Bonnie all right. She looked terrible though. Her hair and clothing were disheveled and she was visibly shaking. She looked terribly frightened and she immediately stepped inside and embraced Jonathan. They stood by and watched the exchanges between Jonathan, Bonnie, and Gabrielle. �Oh it was terrible! Some crazy man had shown up at Evie�s vacation house and he snatched Alex and I and took us here. He locked us up and I had just managed to escape when I saw you and followed you here!� She looked Jonathan in his eyes. �I�m so glad you�ve come to rescue me.� Bonnie kept her eyes locked on Jonathan�s in order for her hypnotizing to take effect. She had noticed that her spell on him had warn down quite a bit. Gabrielle was furious! �Why you lying piece of camel�� She stopped as Jonathan broke his eye contact with Bonnie to look at her. His eyes were not normal. They looked as if they were clouded over. She was on to Bonnie�s trick. Bonnie grabbed his arm to get his attention. She had to get him alone to complete the spell without any interruptions. He looked back at her. �Please Johnny. Can we go outside to talk alone? I really need your comforting right now.� Evie cringed as she heard Bonnie call him �Johnny�. She knew that Jonathan hated that nickname and immediately stepped forward. �I don�t know if that�s a good idea Jonathan. How do we know if we can trust her?� Rick put his arm around Evie. �It�s alright love. She looks like she�s been through a lot. I�m not sure if we were right about her. Just give them a few minutes of privacy.� Bonnie gave him a smile of appreciation and led Jonathan out into the night a few feet outside. Everyone except Gabrielle headed back to get some sleep. Gabrielle was fuming! She had to do something. She watched from inside as Bonnie spoke to him and kept her eyes locked on his. There was only one thing she could do to break that spell and it gave her butterflies just thinking of it. �Bloody hell�� she muttered the new phrase she had learned from Jonathan and stormed into the night in their direction. She grabbed Jonathan�s arm and swung him around to face her. She put her hands on either side of his face, stood on her tiptoes, and gave him the kiss of a lifetime. Bonnie watched in shock and knew that Gabrielle had ruined that plan. She immediately fled back to the palace so that she and Seth could come up with a different plan. She had only meant to give him a short simple kiss, but the sparks flying between them was fueling the fire. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He put one hand at the nape of her neck to deepen the kiss and his other arm wrapped around her waist to bring the full length of her against the full length of him.

I tried to get to him but that cursed Gabrielle got in my way." "And you didn't find the boy?" He asked again. "NO!" |
