The Labyrinth felt the sensation of her touching him. She found him! Now it was only a matter of time. Yes My Champion! I knew you could find him. I knew he was close to you! Even though he does not know me, we are still connected, him and I. He just needs to break through the barrier that is keeping him from his true self. You, My Queen, must rip that wall down and make him face his pain, so that he may find himself again. I will do what I can, but it is up to you. You are his Champion as well as mine. You must be the one to fight for our survival.
Sarah got up and ready and was out the door quickly. True her role was minor but she was vigilant in making sure she did it right. She didn't feel as run down this day and took advantage of it.
Rehearsal seemed to crawl by. She could not get her mind off the bartender. That she gave him her number at all was surprising even to herself. She never did things like that. For some reason she could not refuse him.
Finally rehearsal ended and she raced home. She wanted to make sure she was the one who answered the phone in case Wendy was there.
Thankfully it seemed her roommate was out, so when she opened to door at 10 minutes to 3pm, she was relieved to find herself alone.
She kicked off her shoes and grabbed some juice, then took a seat and waited, fidgeting. She watched the clock tick round and round, silently counting down to 3 o'clock. 3pm the phone did not ring and her heart sank.
She chastised herself. Is this what I've come to? Waiting for a guy to call? What is wrong with me? So what if he..
RING!
Sarah's heart jumped into her throat, she stared at the phone like it was an alien.
RING!
She went to pick it up but hesitated. Oh God! What do I say?
RING!
Pick it up and say hello Sarah! Her inner voice said.
She picked it up as it was starting a 4th ring.
"Hello?!" She bellowed a little to loudly into the phone, cringing at her own volume.
"Sarah?" Said the smooth male voice on the other end.
"Oh Hi! This is Tommy the bartender right?" She said brightly, but quieter.
A warm rumbling laugh came over the receiver, giving her chills.
"Expecting someone else?" He said.
She could tell he was smiling. "Uhh..no. Sorry it took so long to answer, I was looking for something." Damn that sounded stupid, she thought.
"Well, I sincerely hope you found it." Was the reply. "So, dear Sarah, would you like to join me for dinner? I got the night off."
Sarah paused. Should she? I mean she just met the guy. He seemed nice but this was the city and lots of nice guys turned out pervy.
He inner voice spoke up. Oh for goodness' sake Sarah! It's just dinner and he is waiting!
"Sarah? Are you still there?" His voice shook her out her inner conflict.
Sarah blushed even though no one was there to see it. "Oops sorry. Umm..sure. Where at? I can meet you somewhere."
He told her the name and address of a nice local Thai place she had been to before.
"Okay. That will be fine. I love Thai food. I'll see you then, Tommy."
"Lovely. Thank you Sarah. 7 o'clock okay?" He said.
"Haha I almost forgot to ask for a time. 7 o'clock is fine." She answered mentally kicking herself.
"Goodbye love. See you later tonight." Said the man on the other end. She could tell he was still laughing to himself at her scatterbrained replies. She didn't blame him she sounded like an idiot.
"Bye!' She said, too loud again.
Once she hung up the phone she shook her head at herself. "Damn Sarah, what the hell? You are acting like you never talked on the phone to a guy before. Get a grip!"
Tommy. So he looked like some "probably a dream" Goblin King fantasy figure she pined for as a teenager. Jareth, she remembered. The Goblin King is Jareth. Or was Jareth. Not Tommy.
That made her laugh. "Oh I am the all powerful Goblin King..Tommy. eesh!"
She looked at her watch, it was nearly 3:30 so she went to her room to decide what to wear and begin to get ready for her date.
She decided on a black jersey skirt and a silky blue blouse, with a black jacket she could shrug off once the got to the restaurant. It was going to be a nice cool evening, just warm enough for the jacket while she was outside.
She showered and twisted her hair up into a loose knot with tendrils hanging down around her face, then applied a bit of makeup. A little black eyeliner and mascara with a touch of blue shadow to match her outfit, then just a bit of clear gloss on her lips as her own were naturally red.
The only accessory she added were a pair of sapphire earrings her parents had sent her as a Christmas gift a few years earlier.
She dressed and put on her watch and a pair of low heeled black sandals, then she was set. She left a note for Wendy who would probably be home around 8pm, she had called while Sarah was in the shower and left a message. At 6:15 she left to meet Tommy at the restaurant. She a deep breath as she opened to door to the street and headed out into the evening.

_
Tommy was still snickering to himself after he got off the phone with fair Sarah. She was obviously flustered by him for some reason. He could not help but tease her a little. It was so easy.
He knew he would need to try and not do that this evening. He didn't want to chase her away before he got to know her.
He had woken up with yet another hangover, but by 3pm had felt better. After talking with her on the phone. He had felt quite good. Just her voice seemed to clear the cobwebs from his mind.
He was glad he had gotten the night off. He had asked the manager the night before, before he had left. The manager was kind enough to let him off. She knew he hardly ever asked for time off and covered for those that did more often than anyone else, so it was only fair.
He looked through his clothes to find something decent to wear. While he kept everything neat and clean, his wardrobe was fairly basic. Except..there. He moved his clothing in his closet until he reached the back. Not that is was a big closet. He took the bag out and unzipped it.
He had been purusing a vintage shoppe a few months ago and came across this gorgeous silvery silk shirt. It cost a bit more than he would usually spend but something about it caught his eye. He had splurged and bought a pair of nice black leather trousers to go with it and a jacket to match. One really nice outfit for a special occasion.
He laid it on his bed and went to shower.
After that was done, he decided to forgo his usual ponytail and fluffed out his shoulder length hair, shaved, and dressed. He examined himself in the mirror. He had to admit, he looked quite dashing. He wished he didn't feel quite so nervous.
The question of why he was dressing up for her, when he had never done so before for any of his dates with others briefly flitted through his mind before he dismissed it.
"No matter. For her, I want to look my best. Sarah. She is special. I just know it." He told himself out loud.
He slid his feet into his boots, grabbed his keys and wallet and left to meet her. As he left his building and walked to the restaurant, he started whistling.
He paused. What was that song? He didn't recognize it. Odd. He shrugged and continued, still whistling the mysterious tune.

_
Tommy was waiting by the door to the restaurant when he saw her approach.
She was beautiful. From the tips of her toes to the top of her lovely head she looked even more stunning than she had the night before. He stepped forward and gave her wave. She smiled and her eyes lit up, then widened slightly at his appearance.
Sarah had almost reached the building when she saw him step away from the doorway he had been standing in and wave at her and smile. She waved and smiled back..then took a good look.
She sucked in a quick gasp, trying to not be obvious. My God but he was gorgeous. The boots and leather pants, the sexy as hell shirt, with the first few buttons open, the leather jacket. The hair down and slightly mussed in a totally sexy way. Gulp. Like if her fantasy Goblin King had come to life and been reinvented as a human man.
He offered his hand as she walked up to him and smiled. She took it.
Both of them were startled at the instant waves of energy that travelled through both of them, but neither mentioned it. Even though when their eyes had met they both new the other had experienced the same jolt.
"Good evening Sarah. You look lovely." Tommy said.
Sarah kept smiling at him. "Thanks, you do too! I mean you look handsome." Her smile became a bit sheepish.
He laughed just a little. "Why thank you. Shall we?" He gestured towards the door.
Sarah nodded as he moved so she could go in ahead of him, then the door closed behind them both.
They were quickly seated and given menus. Once their food was ordered they ordered drink and got comfortable while they waited for their food to come.
"Soo.." Sarah started. She wasn't sure what to ask him. Or say to him. The questions that came to her mind she was fairly certain he would think she was insane if she asked.
Tommy to a sip of his whisky. He hadn't ever felt nervous before with a women. Well, that he could remember anyway.
"Yes. So. Tell me Sarah, what do you do for a living?" Tommy asked her.
He mentally cringed. How inane can you get.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Okay that was an easy one. "I work at one of the city libraries. I have a bachelor's degree in Library Science, with a minor in theatre. Someday I might go back to get my Master's in the former."
He nodded. "Ah. So, an actress then. Of course. you already told me that when you said you gave me your number. Is that your passion?"
She thought. Was it? "I don't know. I used to think so. But now not really. And I like my job, but I don't think that is my passion either. To tell you the truth, I'm kind of..lost I guess you might say."
He tilted his head at her and smirked. Her knees rattled a little. That look. Damn. How could do that and not know?
"I know how you feel Sarah. I've been in that place before. Not knowing who you are, or where to go from that point on. It's a very unsettling feeling."
Sarah said nothing, but took a long sip of her wine.
Just then their food came, and talk turned to discussing their meal in between both trying very hard to make sure their mouths were full of food as much as possible. Sarah had the Thai pineapple chicken curry, which was delicious and it wasn't hard to concentrate on that for a bit.
Tommy watched her eat. He knew she was avoiding conversation.
He smiled and jumped in again. "You must like it hot and sweet." He said, smiling. He couldn't help it.
She stopped mid chew, staring at him. What? She swallowed and took a drink of iced tea that she had ordered with her meal.
"Umm..what?" She asked him trying to ignore the double entendre.
"Your food. You must like it hot and sweet. Curry, pineapple. See?" He laughed just a little.
Sarah narrowed her eyes. Ohh. "You're teasing me."
He laughed out loud then. "I'm sorry love. I had to say it. It was right there. I wasn't teasing you, I was flirting with you. It appears I'm losing my touch."
Sarah blushed. Why does that keep happening? She thought. He keeps catching her off guard.
She looked at his plate. "Well you are have red curry chicken and coconut soup..so you must like a bit hotness and sweetness yourself."
He bent his head in a small nod. "Yes I do. hot and sweet is my favorite kind of thing. In several aspects I might add. I would say you have an abundance of both. Very hot, and sweet as sugar."
He leaned in a took her hand. "What do you enjoy, Sarah?" He said in a low voice.
Sarah felt heat pool low in her belly and spread downward. At first she thought to pull her hand away and ignore the question. She had a feeling he wouldn't let her go so easily.
She took a different tactic and leaned in. "If I told you, then I would have to kill you." She whispered.
Tommy's eyes got huge, then he leaned his head back and laughed. The other patrons all turned and looked at them.
Sarah laughed too, despite herself. He let go of her hand and went back to his food. She felt the tension ease a bit.
"I must say, you are the most delightful woman I can remember meeting, precious." He said, eyes twinkling with mirth.
Sarah gasped and dropped her fork, staring at him. Precious? What the hell?
He stopped in mid bite and met her eyes. "What? Did I say something wrong?" He asked confused, as his hand, with fork, hovered in the air.
She had to say something. "How did you know that? Why did you call me that?"
He set his fork down. "I'm not sure what you mean. I called you precious because you are. Nothing more. How did I know what?"
She gulped and looked down. Not sure how to answer. "It's just..someone I knew a long time ago called me that. You look a bit like him too. It's just so weird."
An odd feeling came over Tommy. Like he already knew that. Maybe..but.. no. It wasn't possible that this was that Sarah. She was too young. It was going on 10 years now, and she would have been a young teenager. He got a little dizzy. He took a long drink of water, then ordered another whisky.
"Tommy are you alright?" Sarah asked. He seemed to withdraw completely for a moment. Then he ordered another drink and when it came downed it. That was his 5th since they sat down.
Tommy cleared his throat and nodded. "I'm perfectly fine dear. Really. I think this shall be my last drink here, I seem to have gotten a little tipsy."
"Good idea. You don't want to drink too much." Sarah answered.
The man across from her smiled wanly. "I suppose not. Well, would you like dessert? They have a lovely mango sorbet here."
Sarah agreed enthusiastically. Once they had eaten and Tommy had paid the check and at Sarah's insistence she left a generous tip, they left the eatery and strolled casually along the street. They chatted about this and that. Sarah lost track of the time and before she knew it, it was nearly 1 a.m. She had been having such a good time just walking and talking with Tommy she hadn't paid attention. When she finally noticed she realized she had led him almost to the front of her building.
Sarah turned to him and gestured behind her. "Well, this is my building. Thank you so much for dinner, Tommy. I had a great time." She smiled up at him.
He smiled back. "As did I, lovely Sarah. You have been most stimulating company. Can I see you again?"
Sarah nodded. She put out her and he took it. The tingly feeling coming over her again.
He kissed her a hand and held it not ready to let her leave yet.
Sarah thought for a moment then took a step forward in anticipation.
Tommy watched as she got closer. The nervous feeling coming back. He had kissed plenty of women certainly. This one though. She was so incredibly special.
Tommy dropped her hand and took her face gently between his palms. He searched her eyes to make sure this was what she wanted. All he saw there was a longing..the same longing he felt.
He bent in and softly pressed his lips to her soft full mouth.
She tasted slightly of mango and sugar, and so much more. He got closer and deepened this kiss. She opened her lips to him. He slipped his tongue between her lips, touching hers.
Sarah moaned just a little. He was sweet and minty and his lips were so soft.. She could not help but let him kiss her more. She pressed closer and bent her head back more as her arms moved to circle his waist and his around her back and down just above her backside, pulling her closer.
It was electric and magical. His tongue glided against hers and her knees gave out, practically collapsing her against him.
Tommy felt her body melting against his and stiffened his body to bear more of her weight. He pushed her back until she was against the wall of her building. He wanted to lift her up and make love to her right there on the street. But he couldn't. After a few more minutes he gained some control over his raging desire and pulled back, but still held her against him so she wouldn't fall.
He smoothed the hair back from her face and stared into her eyes.
Sarah had never felt such a powerful connection before. Tommy was the most amazing kisser she had ever known. She felt loopy and drunk on passion. She looked up at him with what she knew was a stupid grin on her face but she couldn't help it.
"Sarah..." He sighed. "Sarah..I best go. Let you get upstairs now. If I stay any longer, I will not ever leave."
Sarah blinked and felt herself coming back to normal. Tommy backed up with her in his arms and let them drop then backed away.
Sarah looked at his feet, unable to meet his eyes as she blushed again. "I understand, I agree. I would invite you up..but, Wendy, you know. We kind of have an agreement to not have overnight guests without some warning. If you know what I mean." She gave a small nervous laugh.
He inclined his head. "Yes, I do know what you mean. If you..I mean it we..if it gets to that point, just so you know, I live alone." He said to her, giving her a knowing flirty smile.
She giggled. "Ah! Okay. Yes, that's good to know. I mean if things progress in that direction. Eventually."
Tommy stepped forward again and kissed her, only this time it was just a light peck. "Goodnight Sarah. May you have the sweetest of dreams."
He reluctantly turned and walked away towards his apartment. He began to whistle a familiar song she couldn't quite place.
Sarah watched him until he was out of sight then went in and walked up the stairs to her door.
Fortunately when she went in Wendy was already in bed. All she had to do was wash her face change into her pajamas and crawl into bed. She wanted to savor the evening without a million questions.
She went over the events of the night, smiling to herself. She was still smiling as she fell into slumber.

_
Tommy practically skipped home once he was out her sight. He knew she was watching him.
He had a wonderful time.
She was the most interesting, intriguing female he had ever met. In fact she was the interesting person he had ever met altogether. He had found himself completely enamoured of her.
Her sparkling green eyes, her smile, her lush body. He was so close to begging her to let him in, or for her to come home with him. But he didn't. Not yet. Not on the first date. He didn't want to muck things up with her. She was too wonderful to let go of.
He got into his apartment and had a smoke first thing. He had refrained from smoking on the date as he knew lots of girls were put off by it unless they smoked themselves. He really hadn't even thought about it the whole night.
He grabbed up the half a bottle left over from the night before and took it into his bedroom. After stripping down he got into bed naked and sipped at the bottle as he thought of her. He had to be careful how much he drank around her. He didn't want to lose control. By her little comment of him not drinking too much he guessed she wouldn't approve if he had drank any more than he did in front of her.
He looked at the bottle and noticed he had only had a few sips this night. He put the lid on and sat the whisky next to the bed.
As he waited for sleep all he could see was her face. He went to sleep smiling, not feeling empty for the first time since waking up nearly a decade before not know who he was.
Okay dear AFF readers, I will leave you with the first 3rd of the story for now. There are 13 chapters, the prologue and a short epilogue, so I will post 5 more tomorrow. Muah! Love on ya! As dear DB says!
If you are wondering about Tommy's look for this story, google David Bowie and look for pictures from 1999-2001 when he had the longer shaggy hairstyle(not the wavy style from Glastonbury but the straighter hair). I loved that look.
Oh, anyone hear the DB "More Music Soon." bulletin? Woot!
I got the Bowie- Reality Tour Live DVD. Freaking brilliant show. I hope someday I get to see him live. :crossing fingers:
