A Life Long Wait... By Fleur and Zombierocker NEW!

"I thought we'd might like eating in here..far less formal than the dining room..Unless you'd prefer that?" She said as she came back into the room and handed him a half full wine glass.
"No no, this is very old world..I feel quite comfortable here." He took a sip of the wine. While it was red it was not the wine he had brought. But then he imagined she was saving it for dessert.
'Just like Lil' to save the best for last.' She had always done that with her food. Would she do that again? would she end their lifetimes of longing by finally chosing him?

"Sit down please...How was Byn? did your panned surprise work well?" She sta down near him and the smell of her, not her perfume but of her skin, reminded him of their prior times, times where she allowed him more than just a kiss. It made him WANT to fall at her feet and beg her to remember. He forced himself to remember to answer her about their present.
"oh Yes! Very well..Rardy even got her to eat a bit more than she has been. Although I am afraid we had to frighten her a bit with a threat of a tube...I am sorry to have done so."
"Don't be!" she said her eyes glowing with determination. "IF that's what it takes to scare her into following the treatments so be it! I trust you..AA..I..somehow, I KNOW in my heart, that you will do what is best to take care of her. I Know you will fight for her to have every chance to beat this cancer...almost as if she was important to you...I mean personally."
His mouth opened a moment and then closed. He was trying to decide if he should admit how true those word were. He open his mouth again and looked into the soul he had loved thousands of times before.
"Because.., She is. She is YOUR daughter. I KNOW how importnat her survival is to you..." he dared to reach out and touch a soft curl threatening to fall into her face. He brushed it back behind her ear. He licked his own lips and leaned in closer to her. "And Your Happiness is VERY important to me. I never wanna see you crying..UNLESS it's happy tears when we can finally say she'll make it. I want to be at your side when she walks out of the hospital. When she walks to her future.." He leaned closer, his lips so near she could feel his breath on her.
"I want to see you happy..And I want to be the one you chose to celbrate that glorious day with..on that day and every other..." He closed the distance between them and captured her lips with his. Although he'd only leaned his face to hers and not the rest of his body, he still felt that delicous heady fire spread through him.
It only intensified as Lil' moved her body closer to his.

AA wasn't sure how it happened so quickly but he found himself on the floor with Lil in his arms. He felt every nerve in his body sing at her touch. Lil smiled down at him as he lay on the floor beneath her. They were still fully clothed, but AA wasn't sure how long that would be the state they remained in. Lil pulled away for a moment breathless. "One moment..I just need ONE moment."
He watched not moving as she ran from the room into the next . He heard her open and close the refridgerator door and then another door open and close. Then a click of glass on glass and then he felt rather than heard the footfall as the vibrations came up through his body as her soft foot fall made no noise on the carpet.
She was as beautiful as a spring day as she quickly came, although it wasn't quite running, back into the room. She knelt down next to him, placing a bowl full of chilled strawberries and the rest of the wine within reach. She slid her body down next to him.
"I didn't want to ruin dinner..And I USUALLY want to save the thing I want most for last..But tonight...I can't wait. I can't NOT be in your arms..But..IF we do this...Will they make you drop Robyn's case? Because I REALLY don't want to lose you as her advocate..AND with you on her side..I KNOW she will make it..I WILL wait for..what I so desperately want tonight if there is even a CHANCE she might lose you as her...I dunno...I almost see you as her angel...I WANT you AA...I really do..But I can't risk Byn."

He pushed himself up onto his elbows.
"I wouldn't risk Byn's care, if you don't realise that already...I am telling you that now..I know how much it would hurt you...and I would NOT risk breaking your heart like that...While I agree we should be..careful around Dr. Friz. BUT... I have waited a lifetime for you Lil'. You have to know that as well." He leaned up to kiss her just once before he gave her the final decision. He was stealing himself to be told to go. He pulled his lips back and touched his forhead to hers waiting to be told to leave.

"I...We'll be careful.." She whispered as she pressed her lips to his. His arms wrapped around her almost violently. As though he was a drowning man and she his only life line.
"Lil?" He groaned into her lips, trying to speak as he was overwhelmed and consumed by the despearte passion he felt for her."Lil' I will FIGHT for your daughter..Tomorrow..But tonight...tonight I am ONLY yours."

Lil' inhaled sharply as she heard those words escape AA's lips.

The one thing she had always wanted from every other relationship she had ever had was, to be sure, even for just ONE moment, that NOTHING was more important to her lover than she was.
And at this moment here in her own living room she was.

As the fire played in the hearth she watched as he lay back down and reached for her as though she was the most beautiful creature that had ever been created.
She had NEVER felt like that before.

But as she looked down at the expression in his eyes, and the longing she saw in them, it was like it was REALLY true that he had waited for her.
But that couldn't possibly be true? Could it?

The only reason she'd ever met him was Byn's sickness. It wasn't like they had known each other for that long. HOW could he possibily really mean it?

But then Lil' looked at him. His almost serene face as he carressed her arms. Just her ARMS, not even trying to push her to do anything else, she wondered if there wasn't something to fate, or kharma or whatever. She had never really allowed herself to believe there was "the One" out there somewhere for her.
As she looked at the almost beautiful man before her, she considered 'Maybe...I was wrong.'


But as he pulled himself up to her and cupped her skull with his hand and pulled her face to his, the thought occured to her,
'Then again..MAYBE he's just REALLY good at making a woman feel this way..Maybe he's JUST a great Lover.'

As AA's lips carressed hers, again she thought, 'Just a great lover huh? WHEN was the last time you had one of those? Lil' just STOP thinking and enjoy him. Tomorrow you can figure this all out..Hell by tomorrow he may not even remember your name.'
Lil' stopped thinking and started to let herself just feel.

AA thought that if an Angel could die and go to heaven, he had infact done so. Lil was in his arms again. True when they had fallen in love the first time, Lil'la'yn (Lil- la-EEN) had been her name.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She had been the daughter of a Greek warlord/princeling and he had been in The Maker's service for as long as he could remember. He had been both a Guardian and a Warrior for The Almighty, and even on occasion a Messenger.

It was on one of these occasions that he had first seen Lil'la'yn.
It was a bright day. Warm and sunny. The princeling's household had been moved to a villa on an island. The Greeks at that time envisioned The Almighty, as many Gods and Goddesses. And The Creator had not chosen to correct their visions yet.

But The All-Powerful did hear and answer their prayers.
The Prince had prayed for the wisdom to avoid un-due conflict. He wanted to be sent an Advisor, a counselor to guide him in his decisions. He wanted no Un-due blood shed.

This pleased The Almighty, and so both as a Messenger, and if need be as a Warrior, Azrael was sent.

He appeared to Kal'ahan her father, dressed as a Warrior. The Warlord would show him proper respect that way.
The princeling believed him to be, if not a godling, than atleast and messenger from them. Kal'a han made a low bow and begged the stranger to stay with him and in his court.

Azrael KNEW he was only meant to appear on occassion. But then as Kal'a han called for an offering of wine and fruits as was customary in those days, his women, wives and daughters and concubines, came up from the sea and onto the overlook where Az had appeared to the Warlord.

And Azrael was stunned.

The one alabaster beauty was laughing and smiling with her sisters. Her dark curly hair had touches of copper mixed in, and as the sun caught in it, it seemed to sparkle. Her body was lithe and despite the bright sun she seemd to almost glow with a pale light.
As she smiled and gigled Az thought no heavenly choir sounded as pleasing. The white linen she wore draped about her, looked dull next to the smoothness her skin appeared to possess. The Angel wanted nothing more than to reach out and confirm for himself it's softness.

He knew then, at that moment he could never be, the aloof being that Angels by their very nature needed to be, ever again.

He wanted to have her for his very own.

And Kal'a han saw that.

"Stay with us Great One..My daughters will serve you and keep you company when you are not giving me counsil. My eldest is quite accomplished at games of skill. Her thinking is almost that as of a man's when it comes to games of war." he said as he motioned the copper haired vision over.
"There is nothing manly at all about your daughter if this is she Warlord." Azrael reached out his hand to her as she dropped into a deep bow before him
"What is your name fair one?" he caught her hand and motioned for her to stand, he did NOT want this fair blossom bowing before him.

She looked at her father, he nodded, and with that she stood up. Her eyes as deep and clear as the aegean stared into his.
"I am Lil'ah'yn My Lord. I am My father's pet curiosity, as I have no wish to find a husband and be mistress of my own home. I am contenet to live here..Yet my sisters are annoyed at me that father wishes to marry us off in the order of our birth."

"So until you find a man that suits you...you will not accept a husband?"

"I would accept what ever my father wills me too, as a husband or a lover..I have not, until today, seen a man that I would hope to impress."
He smiled softly at her flirting, "And today?"
"Today I see one."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AA now held her in his arms again. His body straining within the confines of his clothes. He Needed her. More than he needed ANYTHING else. More than a fish needed water, MORE than a mortal needed air.
NOW tonight..He needed to be with her, lay with her again.

But he would NOT force her. He never had before..He would not now.
HE, AA would let her lead. Let her decide their pace and how they would proceed.

"Lil?..WE..we can stop if you still choose to.." Her face fell a bit.."NO! Not that I want too..Not even the tiniest bit..But I don't want you to feel pressured either."
At that Lil's face relaxed and she smiled. AA felt his heart seem to turn over in his chest. He fell inlove with her even more deeply than before. Each time it seemed he loved her more that the last time. AA wondered if he was doomed to go on loving her, and still lose her over and over? That thought troubled him.
It must have shown on his face.

"What's wrong? Did..Did you change your mind about wanting this...wanting me?"
AA let out a soft sound of disbelief, and sat up.
"How can you think that for even a moment? Don't you know I would do anything to have you in my arms ...even for JUST one night." he said as he cupped her face in his hands.
Lil' looked into his eyes. He said it with such sincereity and with such.., HONESTY in his eyes, she couldn't even question it.

He carressed her cheeks with his thumbs, as he whispered. "EVEN if all you'll give me is ONE night..But..If I have anything to say about it...it will be MANY more days..and nights..A long and Happy life."

Lil KNEW she should be frightened at him talking this way This fast.

But somehow...she wasn't..She was instead...Comforted by the sound of it. The thought of having AA with her...by her side for a long time felt..RIGHT.

"I KNOW I should be afraid..I should think you're crazy..I mean how long have we known each other..? But I don't. I LIKE feeling this wanted..this..LONGED for."

"That's EXACTLY what you are Lil' I have longed for you..even though I didn't know where you were, or what you looked like, or knew your name..But I have been waiting..Longing for you...aching for you. Please..Don't make me wait any longer...Please let's find each other tonight?"

Lil pushed him back to his elbows and reached for her glass of wine. She took a sip and then offered him some. He drank looking into her eyes. She took the glass away and then slowly started to unbutton his shirt. He looked down for a second and then back up at her.
"Are you going to have your way with me Lil'? Because I want nothing else than to make you happy.. nothing more than to please you."
"YOU make me feel like I am a goddess or a princess or something...the way you look at me..You make me feel like Venus or Aphrodite or something.."
"You out shine them all." He reached up to touch her hair.
"I have Never seen a lovelier face, nor wanted some one as much as I want you, not in all my days."

Again Lil' didn't see a drop of sarcasism or deceit in him when he said that..if nothing else at this moment he REALLY believed what he was saying was true. And that was good enough for Lil'.

"Lay back AA. You make me feel like a princess, let me make you feel like a king."

And with that he took a deep breath, lay back, and waited for the night he'd waited HER whole life for, to come. The night she'd lay with him. The night he hoped she'd start to fall in love with him all over again.

Az lay looking up at the only soul he ever wanted to join to during his long years. He reached one hand up to carress her. He caught her curly hair in between his long gentle fingers. "Softer than silk..Do you know how beautiful you are? Do you know how long I have waited for you?" he said softly as he watched the fire light play across her face.

"But AA we haven't known each other that long.." she said with a soft smile.

His smile answered hers.."Perhaps...but I knew you were out there some where...I Knew I had a hole in my heart as I was waiting for you..I didn't know who or where you were...but I knew I ached to find you.."

Lil' blushed as he looked at him. She suddenly felt young and carefree. She could, for just this short little while, forget what had brought them together. She looked down at herself and began to unbutton her own buttons.
"Then tonight you found me. Tonight at least we focus on each other.."

AA lay there and watched her his face suddenly angelicly beautific. All his hopes and dreams suddenly coming to fruition at this moment.


"Lil...no matter what happens ...I will never forget this night. Never forget you."

awwwww YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!

im so HAPPY for AA!!! Gosh, that would SUCK!!

Roaming the earth living through all ages of man to love and lose for all time???!!!

GAH!!

A small update, but dang if I have not missed this one.

********
Robyn woke up with a smile, sunlight in her eyes. She looked over at the clock her mother had left her and noticed that it was well past nine in the morning. With a satisfied sigh she snuggled into her blankets, trying to recapture the dreams she had been having. They had been sweet ones about she and Gerard, happy and healthy and together. She wanted that, for them to be happy and out of here. Maybe even married and with children, wouldn’t that be amazing?
As Robyn was thinking of her dreams, she began sitting up in bed, wanting to hurry and get her day on the way so she could talk to and see and be with Gerard. She wondered if there was anyway that they could have communication besides face to face, so she would not have to wait for visits to talk to him. Maybe she could talk to her mother or maybe Azrael to see about walkie-talkies or maybe another kind of intercom system, because waiting all day for a visit was killing her…kind of literally. She felt stronger…better around him. What if he was the cure to cancer? She giggled at the thought, but it was plausible, she thought, that he could be the cure to her’s, and her to his’.
As she was daydreaming Azrael came into her room, breakfast tray in hand and a smile on his face.
“Good morning Miss Robyn, how are you today dear?”
Robyn turned to him grinning, “I am doing splendidly.”
“Glad to hear it, you look better as well. Perhaps more time spent with young Gerard is in order.”
“Oh yes, about that Az, can we have walkie-talkies or something. Its so boring waiting to visit all day long.”
Azrael gave her a sly smile, “I could have a solution to this problem…I’ll have to talk it over with some people first.”
“Oh,” Robyn exclaimed, “th-thank you Az.”
Azrael smiled, giving a sigh and coming toward her with her breakfast tray.
“You know Az,” Robyn said with a smile, “by the look on your face I’d guess that your date with my mother went well too.”
Azrael seemed to blush as he laid her tray of food down, but Robyn was feeling so great she didn’t even turn up her nose at it. Instead she began to eat some of the bland grits on her tray as Azrael stood next to her, feeling her forehead for a fever.
“Well,” she asked after downing a mouthful of grits, “are you going to tell me about it or not?”
Azrael smiled, “I do not want to…bore you with the details, but suffice it to say I kept your mother entertained for the night.”
Robyn wrinkled her nose, “ya know…I wish I didn’t ask.”
Azrael gave a warm chuckle as he began to leave the room, “I am sorry if my statements embarrassed you, but I only wanted you to be assured that your mother was happy.”
Robyn nodded, “just be careful with her, please. She is the only one I have left…we only have one another Az.”
Azrael looked at her, his eyes sincere, “I promise, I will be very careful with her heart.”
“You better be, cause I know where you work and I can find you easily A.A.” Robyn said it in a joking manner, but her hard eyes spoke of anything but a joke.
“I promise you dear, and I am a keeper of promises.”
Robyn smiled, “I trust you Az, she might need someone strong like you someday.”
Azrael grimaced, not wanting to think of what she meant, as he began to leave again.
“Oh, and A.A.? Tell Gerard good morning for me.”
Azrael flashed a small smile, “will do. Now eat, and I’ll talk to someone about my way to get the two of you together more often.”

YAY! Now we have to see what Lillith's pov is

Okay...I'm bored and I had been thinking about LLW while I was dozing off today. I might start another Board Story or a Role Play soon too...<_<...>_>...<_<...O_O We shall see.
-------------
Gerard, unlike Robyn, woke early with the sun. He always found it hard to sleep when he was excited, and he supposed that his night with Robyn had been enough to keep him awake for a while.
He had spent the time since he had awakened drawing. His bed was covered in the art supplies that Barbie had given him, and the rolling table for his bed was covered with drawings...drawings of Robyn.
Gerard knew it was odd, maybe even slightly stalker-ish, but it was all he could think of to draw. All his mind, and maybe even his heart, could see.
By the time Azrael came into his room with his breakfast, after visiting Robyn with her's, Gerard had a small bundle of drawings already done. When Azrael entered the room, Gerard hurridly grabbed the pictures, not wanting Azrael to see them and tell Robyn how nutty he was.
"Good morning," Azrael said, hiding a smile as he set the breakfast tray on the now clean table.
"Um...yeah...m-morning," Gerard muttered, looking to make sure all his drawings were hidden.
"Robyn says good morning to you as well," Azrael said, picking something up off the floor. Gerard groaned as he saw that it was a drawing of Robyn's profile, the left side of her face...the side he had been looking at all night instead of the movie.
"I believe you dropped this," Azrael said, handing it to him with a smile.. "Or did you mean me to give it to Robyn?"
"No," Gerard shouted, grabbing for the drawing, "she can't see this...what would she think?"
Azrael pulled the drawing back from Gerard, looking over it.
"I believe she would be flattered. You've made her look very pretty."
Gerard frowned, she was not merely 'pretty'. Gerard thought she was beautiful. He snatched the drawing from Azrael, the frown still creasing his brow.
He looked down at the drawing he'd done, his favorite out of the ones he'd done this day. It had tried his best to remember everything about that soft cheek. He had highlighted it, making it look like she was blushing. Her eyes were drawn wide with wonder and near her left eye was a spray of freckles, like God had use his paintbrush to give her just the perfect amount of them right where she needed them. He brushed his fingers across them on the page.
"She is not pretty," he finally said to Azrael, "she is beautiful." He finished quietly, putting the drawing with the others.
Azrael chuckled, "beautiful is she...yes. I believe so. But have you told her yet?"
"Wh-what?"
"Told her my boy...she is not a mind reader after all."
Gerard blushed, "well...we...we are not alone that often so..."
"Alone time," Azrael smirked, "I believe young boys and girls need not be alone very often."
Gerard's cheek's got red, "I wouldn't...I mean...Robyn's never and we are too sick. It should be special, right...not...not here."
Azrael looked thoughtful, stroaking his chin as he sat on Gerard's bed.
"Well, I suppose I could find a way to get the two of you together more often. After all, she wishes to see you more often as well."
Gerard perked up, "really? You mean it A.A.?"
Azrael smirked, and Gerard had a feeling he had been working on this plan all along.
"I will talk with her mother, perhaps your parents too, and see how they feel about it. If they like it..."
Azrael let the implication hang.
"Anyway," Azrael said, standing from the bed, "you need your breakfast. Once you and Robyn eat I will see about getting you two together for the day."
Gerard smiled, then hurridly began to shovel food into his mouth as Azrael left with a smile.

awwwwwww YAY!!!

Ive missed THIS fab four!

AWWWW


Sweet Rardy, thinking about how special it should be...

Hope he gets a chance to find out

Lilly woke up alone.

But on the pillow next to her, the most perfect rose she had ever seen. And a note.

My Dearest Lilly,

I could not bear to wake you, you looked so peaceful in your sleep.

Last night was the happiest night I have had in YEARS. Laying with you, I truly felt like a man again. A very BLESSED man.

I go now to fight for your daughter. Forgive me for not staying to see you awaken, or to make you breakfast. It is my GREAT hope that I will have another opportunity to have you awaken in my arms.

The night I just spent with you was the stuff of dreams. You have no idea how gloriously happy you have made me by accepting me as your lover.

But I MUST remind you, when we meet at the hospital, I MUST appear as professional as possible. But PLEASE do not question my interest in you. I ONLY appear removed and restrained in order to not alert Robyn's doctor to our closeness. I do not want to give him any reason to call for my removal as he advocate.

I hope you slept well my beauty. Know that you are in my thoughts.

Yours alone.

AA

Lilliy smiled and took a deep breath, the rose's fragrance filling her.

"AA?...What am I going to do with you? You make us sound like..lovers, like this is an affair..I don't know that I can handle any affair..I HAVE to think of Robyn."

She sighed. "But then again..I think YOU are thinking of her too. FAR more than her father is."

She got up and found a vase and placed the rose in it. She needed to shower and dress.

Her daughter needed her, she may not have much time. She would worry about her own love life, once she knew her daughter was getting better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frank felt the warm body next to him. He was laying on his side, and his arms were around her. Barbie slept peacefully in his arms.

He lifted his head as the sunlight began to filter in the room through the semi-shear curtains. He looked down at her, her hair was VERY short. And not completely filling in. He understood why she felt like she needed the wigs.

But NOT in his eyes. In his eyes she was beautiful just the way she was.

He leaned up to place a light kiss on her temple. And then lay back down this time stretching out on his back.

The loss of warmth made Barbie stir. She rolled over and nuzzled her face in his neck.

"Frankie? Are you sorry you stayed? That you had to see me this way?" she held her breath, she was afraid of the answer.

"No!! Wait? What do you mean?..You mean your bed head?" he tried to lighten the mood. "I bet I got WAY worse than you."

His teasing tone, not hurtful, but gentle gave her the nerve to look at him.
"Really? It doesn't bother you?"

"Nah..I mean if people see us out and you don't wear a wig, they'll just think you're more butch than me...which is true...I remember you on that soccer field."

She beamed at him, as she reached up to kiss him.
"Damn straigt I am...but dont worry, I'll let you pick out my wigs so no one will know." she wrinkled her nose at him. She sat up and reached for a robe draped over the chair next to her bed. She pulled it on and then turned to kiss him.

"There's sweats and tees in the top drawer. I'm going to start breakfast. I'll have coffee and juice ready when you are...and Frankie...I'm REALLY happy you stayed...I'd like it to happen again..maybe even tonight." and she dissappeared from the room.

Frank stretched out with a HUGE grin on his face. Today was going to be a GREAT day.

sounds like a great day ALLLLL around

Robyn was reading a comic book that Frank had left her when her mother came in for her visit. She swept up to Robyn, pressing a kiss against her forehead before saying a word. When she saw that she had no fever, that she could feel at least, she relaxed into the chair that was near her bed. Robyn looked her over, seeing the delighted look on her mother’s face.
“So, I am guessing that the date went well for you too,” Robyn asked with a smile.
Lillith’s eyes grew large in her face, “oh…oh you knew about that?”
Robyn laughed, “of course. Azrael told Gerard and I at our dinner.”
Lillith seemed to cling to the idea of her daughter’s date, “that’s right. How did your dinner and movie go?”
Robyn let out a dreamy sigh, remembering Gerard’s soft lips on her’s and the thought of seeing him later that day.
“It was…great. We talked and watched an old Vincent Price movie, and A.A. brought in our dinner on a cart with silver platters!”
Robyn let out a soft sigh, smiling at her mother. “He is really wonderful mom. Even made sure I um…finished what I could of dinner.”
“Good,” her mother said, looking at her breakfast plate to see that she still had some eggs on her plate, but the grits and toast were gone.
“I see that you ate breakfast well too. How is your stomach feeling?”
Robyn’s smile faltered a bit, “my stomach started to get upset with the eggs, so I stopped eating them. Other than that, I am feeling ok.”
Lillith gave Robyn a smile, seeming to be trying to keep a positive outlook on her daughter’s health.
“Maybe the treatment will work this time,” Robyn said softly.
“It will work, I know it will my darling.”
Robyn smiled at her mother, wanting to give her hope if nothing else. That, and maybe coax her into accepting more of A.A.’s attentions.
“So mom, you didn’t tell me, how was is with A.A.?”
Her mother blushed, “it was…strange.”
“Strange,” Robyn said, alarmed that perhaps Azrael was not as kind and thoughtful as Robyn had thought.
“Yes, he seemed to know so much more about me than he should have…and he was very…careful with me. Not wanting to cause me any undue stress…but it was not…unpleasant.”
“Will you be seeing him again,” Robyn asked eagerly.
“I…I am not sure. After all, we have your and Gerard’s health to think over. When you are healthier then maybe…”
“Mom no,” Robyn cried, struggling to sit up. Her quick action caused her to start a coughing fit though, and Lillith rushed over to calm her child.
“See Bynnie my child, this is what I am talking about. I need you well and not getting so upset over silly things.”
Robyn sat up, clutching a handkerchief in her hand, “I know mom…but I want you happy. Az does too…you should try to stay close to him. He really likes you I think.”
Lillith scoffed a bit as she settled Robyn back in the bed and covered her up. A moment later Azrael walked in the room, looking glorious as ever. “I heard coughing, are you alright Robyn?”
Robyn nodded her head, “yeah…just a cough. Nothing bad.” She gave a smile.
“Wasn’t there something you wanted to talk to my mother about A.A….since you are here?”
Azrael looked at Lillith and smiled, “of course. May we talk Lillith?”
Lillith threw Robyn a final glance before leaving the room with Azrael. When they had left, Robyn opened the handkerchief, showing a small spray of red from her coughing fit. She’d need to tell Azrael about it, and she would, but not yet. She wanted to give he and her mother some time together. When her mother had gone home, then she tell him. Until then though, she hid the handkerchief in her bedside table drawer.

ummm... thats not good.

you shouldnt hide things like that!!

When Robyn got her next visitor of the day she was reading one of the books her mother had bought her. It was the only one that did not have a man on the front that looked like a blonde god, but instead it was featuring a dark haired male. It was a romantic vampire story that Robyn was reluctant to admit she was enjoying a lot. Just as she was getting to a part that was making her toes curl into the bed sheets, the male vampire and main girl were sharing their first passionate kiss, there came a knock at the door.
Robyn jumped, putting her book down in her lap as Frank entered the room. Robyn smiled at him, seeing a bright smile on his face.
“So,” Robyn said as she sat up better in the bed, “I am guessing your date went well last night.”
Frank grinned like a Cheshire cat as he sat on her bed, “well, I’m not really one to kiss and tell but…”
He let the phrase hang while Robyn rolled her eyes, “but what? Come on Frank, I’m dying.” She said the words as a joke, but they made Frank pale slightly.
Robyn realized to late the mistake in her words, and cleared her throat, trying to change the subject.
“W-well if you won’t talk about you and Barbie, I will certainly talk about Gerard and my evening.”
Frank smirked, “oh yeah, how was the movie? Looked good.”
Robyn blushed, “oh…movie?” Robyn frantically tried to remember any of the plot points.
Frank laughed, “hm, good night huh? Sounds like mine, except I watched a good deal of my movie.”
Robyn stuck her tongue out at Frank, “I saw the movie, but well…Gerard and I talked some and um…”
She nibbled her lower lip, blushing a bit. Frank smiled wide again, “yeah, Barb and I did that a lot. Even stayed the night.”
Robyn’s eyes pierced into Frank’s at that, glaring just a bit.
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah, we had wine coolers, pasta, watched some chick movie and I stayed the night. We were all snuggled together, really nice.”
Robyn’s nose involuntarily wrinkled, “sounds fun,” she said coolly. Frank caught the signals, and stood from the bed.
“What, your night not go that well?”
Robyn blushed, “no…it went well. It’s just,” Robyn sighed, slouching across her bed. Frank reached across and patted her shoulder, “is he…making you do things you don’t want to do.” Frank asked, an edge of danger in his voice.
