My Dream is Yours

    By Mallory Quinn and Klgina

    Chapter 1
    “Embers in the rain”

    We’re starting this fanfiction from episode 45 and gave it our own twists. Enjoy!

    Candy had just fell from a tree. She was startled to see that she fell right in front of a white horse. Sheila, Terry’s horse with Terry on it.

    - Candy, is that you? Did you just fall from the tree?

    - Terry…

    - I thought I saw a monkey swinging from tree to tree

    “Oh my God, he thought I was a monkey!” Said Candy in her head.

    - I was just having fun, said Candy

    - You’re not going to Eliza’s white party? Asked Terry

    - No, I didn’t feel like going

    - Why?

    - Well I don’t know if you’d noticed, but she's not really nice to me…

    - All right. I’m not going either then…

    - You don’t have to do that…

    - I was going because I thought you were going to be there…

    - Oh…

    - You want to hop with me? It’s going to rain soon…

    - All right…

    - I’m inviting you for tea at my place

    Candy smiled. Terry chose to stay with her instead of going to Eliza’s party. She was the happiest girl on the planet. Terry helped her get on the horse and she was sitting in front of him. She was so excited inside to ride with him. They already rode together so she could get over her trauma from Anthony’s death. Having her body against Terry’s made her feel right at home. Terry was happy to have his Freckles in his arms. He could smell the scent of her hair, her beautiful wavy hair. He was looking forward to spending time with her at his father’s castle.

    Candy was thinking about what she was feeling while in she had Terry’s arms around her waist. This time she was sitting on the horse with her legs on both sides; the skirt of her dress was wide enough. The smell of the horse, the scent of Terry’s cologne was making her head spin… She wished she had the courage to tell Terry what she thought…

    Can you read my mind?
    Do you know what it is that you do to me?
    I know you’re just a friend
    Just a friend a very good fried…

    Here I am, a kid out of school
    You’re holding my waist
    I'm a fool

    Will you look at me
    Quivering
    Like a little girl
    Shivering?
    You can see right through me

    Can you read my mind?
    Can you picture the things I'm thinking of?
    Wondering why you are
    All the wonderful things you are

    You make me feel like I can fly!
    Like we belong in the sky!
    You and I
    Could belong to each other …

    If you need a friend
    I'm the one you can come to
    If you need to be loved
    Here I am…
    My heart is beating so loud
    I’m afraid you can hear it….

    Read my mind, Terry

    Candy’s heart was beating so loud she thought Terry could actually hear it. They arrived at the castle. Got off the horse. A foreman came to take care of the horse. Terry took Candy’s hand and they walked together to the door.

    - You want me to give you a little tour?

    - Yes, she said smiling

    - All right….

    He was still holding her hand. He showed her the house and they got to a storage room.

    - Look at all those old stuff, look at that armour

    - Well sometimes, the ghost of their previous owners would still come and make it move

    When he said, coincidently, the armour in question moved. Candy was frightened.

    - Ahhhhhhhhh! She screamed

    And she ran into Terry’s arms, who was only too glad to embrace her.

    - I was joking! Relax… , he said

    - What? She said pushing away, how could you scare me like that!?

    - I needed you in my arms…

    - Oh you! She said hitting him with her arms

    Terry burst out laughing and Candy got out of the storage room. There was a small breeze.

    - I’m cold, said Candy as they arrived in the living room

    Terry gave her a pink robe.

    - You can wear this… My mother left it for you

    - Oh, said Candy putting it on, thank you

    She put on the silk robe and wasn’t cold anymore and the fire in the chimney helped.

    - Did you and your mother talk?

    - Yes, but we were mostly silent most of the time enjoying each other’s company

    - Oh…

    The fire was warm in the chimney. Candy and Terry were sitting on the couch in front of the fire. Candy stood up because she was sad. Terry was talking about his mother and she wished she had a mother of her own. Terry stood up. He didn’t like to see her sad.

    - Candy, he said putting his hands on her shoulders

    They looked at each other. She looked so sad and vulnerable. Terry wanted to kiss her, he was leaning towards her lips when…They were interrupted by the queen of mean who had a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

    - I knew it! She yelled

    Candy and Terry were startled. Terry let go of Candy’s shoulders and they both turned around to look at Eliza.

    - Eliza…, said Candy

    - You did this! She said yelling at Candy and completely ignoring Terry, you stopped him from coming to my party…

    - No, that’s not true! Said Candy

    - You biyotch! Said Eliza hitting Candy hard with the flowers

    She hit her once, twice, the third time, Terry stopped her hand.

    - Eliza, that’s enough! Said Terry

    - No, I want to make her pay for stopping you from coming to my party! I was waiting for
    you…

    - That gives you the right to come here and hit my guest?

    - The party was for you for saving my life…!

    - You know how to swim Eliza, you weren’t in any danger thus I didn’t save your life… you just wanted to be in my arms…

    Eliza blushed with anger.

    - This is all your fault you stable girl! You’re going to pay for this!

    - Eliza, this is my house and you’re not welcome here… would you please leave?! Get out of my house!

    Eliza humiliated had no choice but to leave. She was furious.

    - I’m going to get you Candy! Yelled Eliza getting out…

    Candy and Terry were alone. Terry looked at Candy. She was bleeding were Eliza had hit her with the flowers.

    - Well that was fun, said Candy

    - That girl is a menace, said Terry, Candy, you’re bleeding

    - Oh…where?

    - On your left cheek…

    Candy put her hand on the cheek in question, she felt the blood and she looked at her fingers.

    - It’s probably nothing, I have to go. Eliza is going to attack Annie and Patty as a revenge

    - So what? Said Terry, you’re not their guardian, they are big enough to take care of themselves…

    - But…

    - Candy you’re hurt…

    - It’s nothing, my friends need me

    - Candy you need help! You’re hurt…your wound might get infected

    - But…

    - Your friends have to learn to defend themselves, you’re not always going to be there to help them…

    Candy looked at Terry. He was lonely, she wanted to stay with him. She missed him the day before when he left after saving Eliza from her fake drowning… Annie and Patty could take care of themselves, Alistair and Archibald were there … She was going to stay with Terry and get pampered… Terry didn’t want her to leave he needed her, he wanted to be near her.

    - All right, she said, I’ll stay

    Terry had a sigh of relief.

    - I’m going to go get something to clean your cut… wait for me here, said Terry

    - All right Terry, said Candy sitting on the couch

    She was looking at the flames in the chimney. She wished she had a mother. She wished she was part of a real family, with a mom and a dad to whom she could go to for comfort. But she had Terry. It felt so good to see him defend her to Eliza like that. She felt safe and secured…like she should’ve felt if she had had a family… Terry felt like her family…

    “Oh my God, she said, I love him so much…I feel so good with him…I want to be with him for the rest of my life…But that’s only a dream…I must only be a fling for him. All the girls are crazy about him… Eliza is going to get her revenge on me one way or the other, because she found Terry and I so close and almost kissing… Kissing! He was about to kiss me, when Eliza…Oh my God!”

    Candy’s heart started racing…Terry wanted to kiss her…But…what would she do if he wants to kiss her again? Maybe she should leave… but, she didn’t want to leave. She wanted to be there with Terry. She was so happy he invited her for tea. The day before with Eliza and her theatrics, he had just left without even a goodbye and she was walking in front of the castle, outside his window hoping to see him and wondering why he had left without saying goodbye. She couldn’t stay away from Terry even if she wanted to, she was drawn to him, she wanted to be with him and … she loved him! She felt a hot flash, her heart jumped to her throat which felt like it had a knot…She was afraid of the sensations, yet she loved every second of it…

    Terry came back in the room with a bowl of hot water and some tiny hand towels. He put the bowl on his lap. He took the small towel and dipped it in the hot water. He started wiping Candy’s face. She had a few bruises, scratches and a small cut which was bleeding.

    Candy didn’t move. She was shaking inside. She had just realised she loved him and every touch was like a sparkle of fire touching her. She closed her eyes.

    Terry looked at her with her eyes closed. He was gently wiping her face, and he loved every second of it. He had the girl he couldn’t stop thinking about in his living room on his couch. He was taking care of her bruises and cuts, like he took care of her cut after the forced horse ride. He had to make her forget about the past and look toward the future, a future with him. Yes he wanted to be with her…

    - Ouch! Said Candy when he touched her cut with the towel

    - I’m sorry freckles; I’m trying to be gentle...

    - I know…it’s not your fault

    - You, on the other hand, hurt me on purpose, when I came to your room by mistake…

    - I was so angry at you! How could you put your life in danger like that!? You could’ve been killed!

    - I didn’t know you cared so much…

    - I care about everybody, said Candy blushing and looking down

    - But you have a special soft spot for me…admit it…

    They looked at each other. They had a special connection an invisible link that was just getting tighter…

    - Why would you say that? Said Candy blushing some more

    - Because you’re blushing like a bride…

    - Oh… said Candy embarrassed

    - It’s good to see you blush like that…it’s a change from when you’re angry…

    - That’s because you provoke me…

    - I provoke you because I like you Candy…

    - Really? She said softly, you left yesterday without even saying goodbye…

    - I was wet, I just wanted to get home and change and especially away from that lying tarantula! I’m sorry, I wanted to take you with me but…

    - But what?

    - I was afraid of what it would do to you if you knew my real intentions…

    - What are your real intentions Terry; to bring me in a dark room and scare me so I could run in your arms?

    - It worked didn’t it?

    - I don’t get you guys; you want something, why don’t you just ask for it?

    - Because you would’ve pushed me away if I had asked you…

    - You want me to be in your arms…, she said with her heart beating loud

    - Yes, Candy, I want to be with you…

    - I'm with you now…be with me how?

    - I thought you had a boyfriend in America…

    - We were very young…

    - In other words, nothing happened…

    - Nothing happened…with us either…

    He looked at her. He was done cleaning her cheek. He was putting a medicated cream on her bruises. He put everything on a small table in the room and he went back to sit with her on the couch in front of the fireplace.

    - Thank you Terry, she said smiling

    - You’re very welcome…

    - It’s becoming an habit for you to take care of me

    - You took care of me when I came to your room by mistake…

    - You left before I came back with your medicine…I asked you to wait for me…

    - I didn’t want you to go, I didn’t want you to get in trouble…

    - That was my decision to make! You didn’t even seem to be grateful; you wouldn’t even thank me… I was worried about you!

    - I’m sorry about that… I was a real lout…

    - You can say that again!

    - I was a real lout…

    They burst out laughing. But Candy touched her cheek which was painful.

    - Oww! Said Candy touching her cheek…

    - Oh…it still hurts… I'm sorry

    - It’s not your fault…

    - In a way it is… if she wasn't attracted to me…

    - Oh Eliza doesn’t need a reason to attack me, believe me. She hates my guts plain and
    simple…

    - That’s because you’re everything she’s not…

    - She’s beautiful, rich…

    - She’s very ugly if you ask me…, said Terry, she’s so mean that you don’t even see her supposedly physical beauty…

    - Supposedly?

    - I don’t want to talk about that lying tarantula…

    - Lying tarantula? Said Candy smiling, you have a nickname for everybody don’t you?

    Terry smiled.

    - I don’t want to talk about that mean girl…, said Terry, I want to talk about you… about us…

    - There is an “us”? She asked

    - Yes… I like it when you’re around, I like teasing you… I….like you…

    - You like me? Like a good friend?

    - A good friend? Like a man likes a woman…

    - Oh… said Candy blushing, since when?

    - Since the first time I laid my eyes on you…

    - Really? You really have a weird way of showing it!

    - But you were thinking about your old boyfriend…

    - Well at least I was honest…

    - You’re so innocent, you know that? You talk about Anthony to me like it was nothing, like it was natural…while I was dancing with you!

    - Well it was the same music…

    - Don’t remind me!

    - You wanted me to lie?

    - You didn’t have to be so honest…you hurt me…

    - I’m sorry Terry. That wasn’t my intention, I just answered your question honestly, I was thinking about Anthony, how happy I was with him…

    - Candy…, said Terry looking away

    - But you didn’t let me finish. If you hadn’t shoved me to the ground, I would’ve told you that I was also thinking about how happy I was dancing with you… I was starting to realise that I was beginning to move on…. With you… you made me happy Terry when we danced…

    - I was very happy to dance with you too… you had to ruin it…

    - But you saved me from Eliza…That was very nice of you…

    - I didn’t want you to get in trouble

    - Your first instinct is to protect me…. That’s why you left my room that night…But I was so angry you didn’t wait for me. But I did meet Albert that evening, so one good thing came out of it…

    - Yeah Albert… you like him a lot

    - He saved my life, without Albert, I would’ve been dead. I owe him my life… I see him as my big brother…

    - And how do you see me?

    - You want me to be honest, or you want me to lie…?

    - I like your honesty even if it’s sometimes hurtful…

    - All right, you asked for it…

    - I’m not going to get mad…

    - I think you’re a very sensitive and lonely boy, who’s acting out to hide how he really feels. You felt hurt and abandoned…and making up with your mother mend a part of your heart…the other part needs to be mend by your father…I consider you a very good friend… even though sometimes you make me scream…and… I can’t stop thinking about you…

    Terry’s eyes lit up all of a sudden. She thought about him; he knew she did, but to hear it from her very innocent mouth was music to his ears. He smiled.

    - I like your honesty in this case, he said

    - Your turn…

    - My turn to what?

    - To be honest with me…

    - I never said I would be honest with you…, he said with a mocking tone

    - Terry! Stop teasing me! Can you be serious for a moment? This wasn’t easy for me to admit

    - Freckles…

    He looked at her with so much love. He might as well tell her…

    - I can’t stop thinking about you ever since we met on the Mauritania he finally said

    - Since our first meeting? Oh my God!

    - I know you were thinking about your… poor boyfriend

    It took him a little effort not to be mean about Anthony. Candy realised that and she was happy in her heart.

    - But I knew one thing, I wanted to be with you…

    - You didn’t look like you wanted me...

    - You’re the only girl I talk to…

    - Really?

    - Well I saved Eliza from a hole her brother and his friends did to trap you…

    - What?

    - I got her out and…

    - And what did you do?

    - I kissed her hand…

    - Oh…so Eliza is not delusional… you were nice to her…

    Candy felt a little jealous. Terry was happy she was jealous.

    - I was being polite… a gentleman…

    - Now Eliza thinks you belong to her…gee, I wonder what gave her that idea!

    - You’re jealous…

    - You were polite with her when you always seemed to be provoking me…

    - I provoke you because I like you, Freckles…because I want to be near you…

    - By pushing me away with your provocations?

    - You kept coming back for more…

    - I … couldn’t stay away from you… I can’t get you out of my head…

    - I thought your thoughts were with someone else…

    - Well you thought wrong… it was you , she said with a very soft voice

    - Oh Candy…

    - Where does that leave us?

    - I can’t stop thinking about you, you can’t stop thinking about me…we like each other’s company…I say were officially a couple

    - A couple?

    - Boyfriend and girlfriend…

    - Meaning?

    - Boy, you’re going to make me spell it out for you are you?

    - I just don’t want any misunderstandings…I want to be with you Terry…

    - And I want to be with you… I want to see you everyday I want to kiss you…

    - I’ve never been kissed…, she said with a soft voice

    Terry thought she was so cute; he smiled. He was feeling all warm in fuzzy inside. His heart was beating.

    Candy was looking into Terry’s eyes and she could feel the love he had for her and her heart loved him even more. Her heart was beating loudly…

    - You want to try? He said

    - It’s so weird, she said, I’ve never kissed a boy before, but I’m dying to do it…with you…yes, I want to try it

    Terry leaned towards her and put his lips on her. Candy’s eyes were opened when Terry’s lips touched hers. She felt his tongue in her mouth. The sensation was a little weird. The tongue was tasteless and it was caressing hers. She instinctively closed her eyes and started to caress his tongue with hers. She felt like she transported in another parallel world of ecstasy. All her senses were multiplied by 10. She put her arms around his neck and she was caressing his long hair. The scent of his cologne only made things better and complete. She held him tighter against her; she didn’t want the kiss to stop. Terry was doing what he dreamt about since the first time he saw her on that boat. She was responding to the kiss like she knew what she was doing. He was gentle in the beginning, since it was their first time, but the passion was just getting more intense he held her tighter against him. Her caressing his hair only made him more eager to kiss her. The sexual tension was there since their first meeting, it built up, getting stronger over the time and now it was finally being explored and the two love birds were floating in the air…They had both forgot about the outside world. When they finally stopped. They were breathless…

    - That was wonderful, said Candy

    - Better than in my dreams…

    - You dream about kissing me?

    - You don’t dream about me?

    - I even have daydreams about you… I used to see you in my bowl of soup

    - Really? He said smiling, and did you eat all your soup?

    - No I would just look at the bowl and forget to eat…

    - Just looking at me would fill your stomach?

    - Actually I would be hungry afterwards and I would curse myself for being so foolish …

    They burst out laughing. They were still very close to each other.

    - How’s your cut? Asked Terry

    - What cut? She said, oh…I don’t know. I’m not thinking about it, I’m distracted by my caregiver’s kisses…

    - Since you’re my patient I have to make sure you’re all right.

    - Your kiss was a great medicine, it made me forget about everything…all the pain… but now the pain is back…

    - So you need more kisses?

    - As long as I don’t overdose on them, it should make me feel better…what do you think?

    - I think there’s a lot more where that kiss came from…

    Their lips were welded again in another passionate fiery kiss. They were in front of the fireplace because the room a little frisky… but they didn’t need the fire at all, the fire within them was keeping them warmer than any other fire in the world.

    Outside it was raining hard again, with thunders and lightning. A storm.
