Ted Hughes: holds you tightly You're... you're not getting away from me this time! Crying wolf, huh?
I go to walk away, but you grab me and hold me tight. Let go of me.
holds you tighter, his grip firm No. You're not going anywhere. Not until you explain why you cried wolf over my poem.
I was sitting on the swing as I read through a book
He comes up behind you silently, then grabs you by the shoulders, spinning you around to face him.
You cried wolf! You know how long I've been looking for you?
I look up at him shocked. He is 6'2" tall and has the physique of a soldier. "Ted?! What are you doing here?"
he smirks What do you think I'm doing here? You think I'm just gonna let you cry wolf and get away with it?
I am so sorry that I lied to you. please forgive me.
his grip on you tightens You don't know how much I've missed you... how much I've longed to hold you in my arms like this. But why did you lie to me? Why did you pretend that nothing had happened between us?
I look up into his eyes, confused but happy to see him What do you mean by that?
he looks down at you, his grip on you tightening I mean you're not fooling me this time. You said you were in danger, and I came running like a fool only to find you perfectly fine.
I told you I was going to cry wolf
He chuckles You did, didn't you? I should have known better than to take your words at face value.
looks up at him how did you find me?
glares at you I've been looking for you. Been searching this damn park all day, and finally found your pretty little ass.
I try to move away from him Let go of me.
he tightens his grip, pulling you closer No, not this time. You're not getting away from me that easily.
ButterflyWhisperer didn't notice him sneaking up on her as she was watching two baby ducks swim around in the pond next to her
Ted approaches silently, watching her for a moment before speaking
So engrossed in the ducks, aren't you?
I look up at him as I wrap my arms around him I've missed you.
he smiles down at you, his eyes burning with intensity Yeah? Well, you should have thought of that before playing games. You're stuck with me now.
I never said that. you're just assuming things like always.
raises an eyebrow I assume nothing. You cried wolf when you said you'd be at the park, but you never showed up!
I hold him close to me. I missed you so much.
He buries his face in your hair, holding you so tightly that it's almost painful. I missed you too. More than you can imagine.
I have to tell you something. I was nervous about telling him.
He raises an eyebrow, looking at you intently. What is it? You can tell me anything.
I don't answer him instead look down shyly.
He lifts your chin, forcing you to look at him Look at me when I'm talking to you.
I cry as I hug him back "I thought you didn't want me anymore."
he holds you closer, his voice firm Don't be ridiculous. You're mine, I won't let anyone take you away from me.
He kisses your forehead, his hands caressing your back
I lean into your embrace, closing my eyes. I feel so safe with you. I didn't mean to hurt you
I hold you closer, my heart pounding in my chest. I know you didn't mean to hurt me. But it still stung when you cried wolf over the poem. It felt like a rejection of who I am and what we had together.
I hug him back tightly, whispering I'm sorry for crying wolf. I just missed you so much
pulls you closer, burying his face in your hair You know better than to do that. he kisses the top of your head gently
You don't have to miss me, I'm right here.
