A/N Thanks so much for all your reviews. It really lights up my day especially as I was feeling really down. I will try to update everyday. I hope you like my story. This story line may go on longer than intended as I've come up with other parts to it to add. Keep on reviewing please.
Valkyrie loved lying down with Caelan. It was two thirty and she had been in this position for nearly three hours. It was peaceful as she got lost in her own thoughts and subconsciously played with the blue doona cover. A sudden and loud version of Given a Dog a Bone by ACDC started and she fell out of the bed in shock. Caelan was immediately beside her helping her up. Something started vibrating in her pocket and she realised it was her phone making all the noise. Having successful helped up by Caelan she pulled it out and glanced at the caller ID. She turned to Caelan.
"Fletcher, sorry I have to take this." He nodded and took a step back. She walked forward facing the TV so her back was to Caelan. Flicking it open she answered the phone.
"What do you want?" She asked rather rudely.
"Wait; there is no need to be pissed. I just wanted to know what was happening."
"Well I'm really busy right now so call back tomorrow." She started pacing back and forth.
"So we can't go and get some ice-cream?"
"Fletcher, it is the middle of winter, why would I want ice-cream?"
"Well I was going to take you to Bondi beach in Australia. You did say I needed to take you places more so how 'bout it?"
"I've already said that I'm busy and do the math over there it would be like 10 at night!"
"Oh…well I'll guess I'll leave you alone then?"
"You better!" She immediately hung up. She turned abruptly to see a huge grin spread across Caelan's face. She sighed and sat down on the end of the bed. She put her head in her hands. She felt a smooth and cold arm wrap around her shoulder and sighed again. She turned her head towards Caelan who was sitting next to her.
"What have I got myself into, Caelan? I feel as though I am cheating everyone one." He gently pulled her to his still bare chest.
"Why is that?" He murmured barely loud enough to hear.
"I promised Skulduggery that I wouldn't lead you on but here I am being all alone with you and I kissed you again. I promised Tanith that I wouldn't kiss you again. I just blew off my boyfriend to be with another guy. Why does life have to be so complicated?"
"It is only as complicated as you make it. Think of it this way. You didn't lead me on because I was already on from the start. Tanith only thinks for what is best for you and right now, as hard as it may seem, I am what is best for you. I'm your guardian angel. To make you feel better you can think of me as being a monster not another guy."
"Wow," She said teary eyed, "you really do care about me."
"Of course I do, of course I do," He murmured pulling her closer.
Valkyrie closed her eyes enjoying his coolness and smoothness as long as possible. Caelan started to pull away slowly.
"What's wrong?" She asked cautiously.
"Look at the time. It is three o'clock, the favour has been repaid."
"That doesn't mean we have to stop," She muttered. A grin rose on his face.
"I just had to make sure. What time do you want to go back?"
"I don't know. Never really. I don't want to face the consequences for what I've done."
"What do you mean face the consequences? No one will find out."
"It's too late, look out the window and on top of the neighbouring building. He's been there the whole time. I saw him this morning but forgot about it. I remembered when Fletcher called," she sighed as Caelan took a look. "He has seen this whole thing but he doesn't know that I've seen him." An idea lit up her face, "I can always call Ghastly and tell him about then Skulduggery will be in more trouble than me." She leapt off the bed and dialled a number on her phone. After a quick conversation, she hung up and went back to Caelan.
"So what are we going to do now?" He asked.
"Watch Skulduggery get a very unpleasant phone call."
Skulduggery watched as Valkyrie fell off the bed suddenly and was helped up by Caelan. He watched as she started pacing around the room with the phone to her ear angrily. He briefly wondered who had called when she sat down on the bed and fell into Caelan upset. He watched curiously when she suddenly jumped off the bed and called someone. When she hung up Skulduggery's phone had started to sound. Looking at the phone he recognised Ghastly's number and answered. When he turned beck to Valkyrie she was smiling and waving. Oh no he thought. He put the phone to his ear.
"SKULDUGGERY HOW COULD YOU?" He accidentally dropped the phone in fright. She couldn't have. No she just couldn't have.
A/N What do you guys think? What do you think Ghastly will do? Pay back is sweet! Please review!
