Hey everyone, sorry for the delay. I've been very busy with school starting back, and I've been trying to find time to write. Thank you to those who have commented, and KEEP THEM COMING because i love seeing feedback. As always feel free to comment, or if you have a question PM me. Enjoy.
I woke up early that morning, and I started to get up to start my morning routine when something stopped me. More specific, someone had stopped me. I looked down at the small elf who had curled herself into me during the night. "So," I though, "She actually found me." I couldn't help but notice the peaceful look on her face as she slept. That was, in till she woke up. At first nothing happen, she looked up with a sleepy gaze and smiled at me. Then her eyes widen as she noticed her arms around me, and quickly pulled her arms back and jumped out of bed.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so grabby," she said eyeing the floor. Even with her darker skin color, a heavy blush appeared on her face.
"It's fine Holly, you don't have to apologize for that," I said smiling. "If it makes you feel better I can start sleeping on the couch," I offered.
"No, no, you don't have to do that. I'm fine with sharing the bed," she said sternly.
"Well are you hungry," I asked.
"A little bit," She said finally smiling.
"Then go get ready, and I'll start breakfast. The shower is down the hall," I say. pointing to the door on the right.
"Wait, since when do you know how to cook," she asks.
"Well when you live by yourself, one has to adapt and overcome," I say heading towards the kitchen. When Holly finished getting dressed after her shower, she headed for the kitchen to be greeted by an amazing smell.
"What is that wonderful smell," she asked heading towards the source.
"Waffles and eggs, I remembered that you don't eat mean, and deiced against the bacon," I say fixing two plates.
"My favorite, I'm surprised you remembered," she said while taking a big bite out of a waffle.
"How could I forget, you mentioned it every time I ate meat," I said laughing.
We ate in silence, and enjoyed the meal. When it was finished I collected the dishes, and put them in the sink.
"So, when you going to tell me about your job on the surface," Holly asked as we moved to the living room.
"Well, I guess I should start from after I left," I said thinking back to that day. I had just returned to London all the way from Terra. I walked into the HQ of MI6 to be informed of my assignment. When I reached my office, there was a case file on my desk. I opened it, and scanned it's contents. An old friend of mine had been accused of placing a bomb in the garage of MI6. It had killed an officer, and since I was both Homicide Detective and the closeted to the suspect. I was called to handle the job. Later that day I had looked over the crime scene ,and every piece of evidence collected. Months went by without anything new. It wasn't in till 13 months that I found what I needed. A video of a person leaving the area right before the bomb went off. It was erased from the data banks, and I was surprised it was found at all. Even with the new clue, it wasn't in till 8 months after that did we find the person we were looking for. Once we had them, it didn't take long before they confessed, and where giving a court date. That was three months ago. The trail was still taking place, and I was needed to present evidence against the suspect. I looked at holly, and she was starting to laugh.
"What's so funny Holly," I asked her a bit confused.
"I would have solved it faster," she said.
"Sure you would have," I say rolling my eyes.
"Speaking of your job, when do you have to go back?" I ask.
" I Have to leave the day after tomorrow, and I have to update your file since I know your not MIA," she said.
"Who said I was MIA," I ask a bit concerned.
"Well that's normally what its called when an officer gets up ,and leaves his job without telling anyone," she says a bit irritated.
"I told you I was leaving in my note," I say.
"Yeah, but did you happen to tell in that little note of yours where it was you were going?" she asked.
"No…" I say.
"Exactly," she tells me as she leaned back into her chair.
"Your not ever going to forgive me ,are you?" I ask.
"If I ever do it will take a long time," she says as she looks at the floor.
"Well, if I understand this correctly. You fairies live a long time, so I think I can get you to forgive me," I tell her.
"Shut up," she says with a laugh. "So, can I ask you something."
"Well it depends on the question," I say a bit nervous.
"What did you do before you came to Haven?" she asks. This caught me off guard because I wasn't expecting to tell her so soon.
"I told you. I work for MI6 here in London," I say.
"I know, but what did you do exactly," she pushes.
"Dang she's persistent," I thought. "Well, I started as a sniper. Which explains my marksmanship back at LEP, and I was an undercover agent for some time. I was trained in many forms of hand-to-hand combat, and with many weapons. I spent the last years as a police officer, and left as a highly spoken of detective," I finished.
"Why did you leave," she asked.
"I came into some info about The People, and decided to check it out. When I found it ,and walked into a shuttle port. I was surrounded by LEP officers, and I fought them off till one caught my eye, and…"
"That was you who I knocked out all those years ago, but I though you were sent to the surface with a mind wipe?" she shouted.
"Well, they thought I could be some help in recon being a human of my record, so they put me there. Under tight supervision for months first," I explain.
"I'm sorry for hitting you so hard," Holly said shyly.
"Don't worry I was fine, and you didn't know. How could you have known," I say trying to make her feel better. I look at the clock and almost faint.
"D'arvit I'm going to be late," ask say as I race to get ready.
"Late for what?" Holly asked getting up.
"The last day of court on that case I left to work on is today, and I was so surprised with you finding me that I forgot about it," I said grabbing my suit jacket.
"Well you look nice," Holly commented. I was wearing my suit I wore to work every day, and I didn't think anything of it till Holly complemented me.
"Thanks Holls," I said as I kissed her quickly heading out of the apartment.
"Wait, you going to just leave me here?!" She said crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry darling but I have to be there, and I wasn't expecting you to show up like you did. You could come, but you would get bored," I said trying to explain to her.
"What did you just call me," she said cutting me off.
"What?" I ask.
"What did you just call me," she repeated with a slight blush she was trying to hide.
"Oh, I said Darling. Do you not like that?" I asked. She kissed me pushed me towards the door.
"Stupid Mud boy, hurry up before your late. I'll find something to do." she said
"OK, just stay out of trouble," I turn to see her giving me a sly smile.
"Don't I always," she said closing the door. I smile as I made my way to the court house.
I walked down the hall to my apartment. "I hate court duty in these cases," I thought. "Maybe Holly hasn't made too big of a mess." I unlocked the door. The lights are off but I don't turn them on because I notice the sleeping form on my couch. A couple of my DVDs were out, and a bowl with popcorn sat on the table. I closed the door, and hung up my jacket as I walked to the couch.
As I sat down I noticed how small Holly looked on the large couch. "She must have fell asleep while watching a movie," I though as I ran my hand through her hair. "Its gotten longer since I last saw you, and I think I've gotten taller," I smile at the thought. I started picking up the movies, and putting them in the respective place when I heard a small noise. I looked over at Holly. She had said my name in her sleep, and she looked very peaceful. I walked over to her, and picked her up to take her to bed.
"What time is it?" holly asked drowsily.
"Late, I'm sorry I left you here alone all day," I say.
"Its fine, it gave me a chance to snoop around," she giggles.
"Whoa, did Holly Short just giggle," I ask, "I thought I would never see the see the day."
"Shut up, I'm tired," she complains.
"OK," I tell her as I lay her in the bed. I start to leave when she pulls me back, and pulls me onto the bed.
"Lets sleep, OK. Its very late, and you look tired," she says wrapping her arms around me so I couldn't leave. "Besides I have to go back to work tomorrow, and who knows when I'll see you again," she said sadly.
"Don't worry, Holly. I'm not leaving you again," I told her as gave her a kiss on the forehead. After the kiss we fell asleep together for the second night, and after 2 years of being apart this was bliss. Little did I know, it was the beginning of something great, but also, the start of a great struggle.
What do you guys think about Rycar's background, and do you think he's leaving something out? Also, what might this struggle be. Have a good week, and see you later.
