Hello once more. So please don't be mad but I decided to forego the rated "M" part. I'm liking this story and don't wanna ruin it with a poorly written lemon. I have never written any romance stuff before, and am actually fairly new to writing in general. However, I am considering writing a "lost chapter" when the story is complete? It's all in the air for now, sorry if I disappointed anyone...especially the one person who actually reviewed and asked for the lemon...

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and the others are being written consistently so hopefully I'll have more up within the week! Enjoy!

I waited until she closed her bathroom door with a soft click. I heard the faucets squeak into place, and the water begin to flow.

This was my chance to leave and never return. It would be better this way than to stick around. I stood up with ease, my body recovering more quickly after some rest and drink. The soreness remained, but that was to be expected after the gash that had been inflicted.

Before picking up my clothes I found myself walking over to Audrey's bookshelf, a hint of curiosity begging to be indulged before I left. There were dozens upon dozens of books resting on the grand bookshelf. The books ranged from old and tattered classics to more current and crisp reads.

It appeared that she enjoyed reading- there was an indent on the pillow nestled on the window seat from many hours of use. Through her small talk and overall demeanor- she seemed almost interesting. The thought of her reading with only the ticking of the clock on the wall set me at ease.

I walked over to the pile of my clothes on the floor, only slightly damp now. With the bundle in my hands I froze and pondered.

"Why not stay and take advantage of her hospitality? If there are more demons on the prowl I'm not up to a full-on fight just yet," I thought to myself.

The clothes slipped back onto the floor with a dull thud.

-Audrey

I lathered my hair gently, massaging my scalp while deep in thought. The thick scent of my honeysuckle shampoo filled the bathroom and mixed with the hot steam.

"Vergil," I said to myself softly," what a lovely name. It sounds rich and full of history." His face flashed before my mind while I continued washing my hair.

I massaged my body with thick suds- Vergil once again came to my mind, this time it was his smooth, broad chest.

"Whoa, calm down Audrey," I began as I rationalized everything," I know he is attractive but be serious here…" Even as the words left my mouth, I couldn't keep my mind from wandering back to Vergil. The intoxicating scents and thoughts were overwhelming.

I finished up my shower, then dried off and put on my favorite vanilla body lotion. I might have put on a little extra- but just because my skin was a little dry…..no other reason.

I dressed myself in a pair of soft black sleep shorts with a close-fitted green tank top. I topped it off with my soft pink bathrobe to keep warm. I exited the bathroom and stepped into the living room.

"Hope you didn't get into any trouble…," I began only to see that there was nobody in my living room," oh." My heart sank a bit, at realizing that my guest had left without a word. Disappointment swept over me as I went to the kitchen to clean up.

Upon entering the kitchen I let out a gasp. There was Vergil- with a fork in his hand and a mouth full of cake.

"Haha," I let out a loud laugh," somebody has a sweet tooth. I thought you had left."

"My apologies, I just wanted more cake," said Vergil calmly.

"There's plenty of food if you're hungry, you don't' have to fill up on cake," I explained.

"Cake is fine," he simply retorted. I smiled again before picking up the kitchen a bit. I collected a few plates and a mug from the counter before I made my way over to the sink. Vergil was standing in front of the sink finishing his sweet treat.

"Sorry, excuse me," I said. He moved to his right as I moved to my left and our bodies collided. A mug fell from my hand and crashed to the floor.

"Crap!" I said as I bent down to collect the pieces. Vergil bent down at the same time and our eyes met. For a few moments we were caught in each other gazes. His cool blue eyes stared deeply into my green orbs.

I blushed and looked away as we both collected pieces from the ground. I glanced at him again to see a tiny smile playing on his lips.

After dropping off the unbroken dishes in the sink I swept the floor to remove any tiny shards.

I watched her float about the kitchen tidying up here and there. My eyes never left her as she maneuvered about putting things back in the cabinet and throwing away any stray trash.

"Why does your home smell so sweet," I asked flatly.

Audrey stopped and stared for a moment before answering with her standard grin.

"Well, I bake a lot, it's a real passion of mine actually," explained Audrey," and I sometimes burn sweet candles like pumpkin spice and warm sugar. Huh, I never noticed it smelling especially sweet in here- but gosh between home and work I'm surrounded by it all day!" She giggled coyly.

"It's nice," I simply stated," and your collection of literature is impressive."

"Thanks, I just find it so relaxing to curl up with a good book and get lost for a while- you know," Audrey stated ,"sometimes life throws you a lot and it's nice to escape."

The mood had taken a shift- her eyes changed from their normal gleam to something a bit more foreboding. I felt the deep meaning in her words and thought of my own life.

"I think I know what you mean…"

The clock in the next room chimed - it was midnight.

"Goodness, I didn't know it was so late," gasped Audrey," let me fix the guest room for you real quick." She scampered off through the hall attached to the kitchen.

I pulled back the covers on the bed and fluffed the two pillows near the headboard. The queen size bed looked comfy and sported a dark blue and silver comforter. I clicked on the lamp on the bedside table and turned off the overhead lamp.

Vergil stood in the doorway of the room looking tired and cozy in my worn pajamas.

"Well her e you go," I said cheerily," I hope it's comfortable. And again, if you need anything at all please don't hesitate to ask."

Vergil stepped closer to me.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Audrey." A cool shiver ran up my spine as I heard my name cross his lips.

"Your very welcome, goodnight, Vergil," I said as I slowly exited the room and went next door to my own bed. I grinned madly as I pranced down the hall until I was in the safety of my bedroom. I collapsed into bed with a sigh and felt a warm feeling flood my body.
