~*~* A/N: Okay.. this is.. going to be a good chapter *pants* *~*~
After De nearly picked up Merry and dragged him to Kristin's room, Pippin looked up, worried.
"What's she going to do to him?" he asked, and Kristin smiled.
"I wouldn't be too worried. De may be a stripper, but she knows when and where to stop."
Pippin nodded, and followed Kristin to a chair. She picked up a book, and he curled up in her lap, resting his head against her chest.
"I can hear your heart," he said, looking up at her. She smiled, looking down at Pip fondly.
"It's yours," she said softly, and leaned down, kissing him gently on the lips. He returned it, squirming, kneeling on her lap. Wrapping his arms around her neck, he scooted closer to her.
She pressed herself against him, running one hand through his hair and resting one on his chest. Just as they were about to get serious, the door to Kristin's bedroom flew open, and Merry came out. His face was red, his hair mussed, breathing hard. He looked at Pippin, and Pippin regarded his friend with some concern.
"You.. Have no idea.. How good that was," breathed Merry, and collapsed onto the couch. Kristin heard a giggle from her room.
"Oh, De, you didn't!" she exclaimed, and Merry nodded, his eyes wide.
"Trust me.. She did everything."
"She put it where?!" came Pippin's surprised voice from the living room, as he and Merry discussed the evening's events. Kristin smirked, pouring her and De some tea.
"What was it like?" Kristin asked, her eyes wide.
"Well, let me tell you, if I would've known midgets were *that* well-endowed, I would've screwed one long ago," said her friend, giggling. Kristin gulped down some tea, and smiled.
"Really?"
"Oh, yeah," De said, nodding. "The best thing about your friend Merry was, he's not into relationships either. Just casual, non-committal sex."
"When are you going to finally settle down, De?" asked Kristin, turning the conversation serious.
"How about this? When you get laid," De said with a giggle, "I'll settle down with a nice, stable guy. In other words, not anytime soon."
Kristin kicked her playfully, rolling her eyes. "Not funny."
"So, are you really in love with Pip?" De asked, changing the subject. Kristin smiled, her eyes twinkling slightly. "I'll take that giddy smile and dreamy look in your eyes as a "yes"."
Kristin smirked, handing the hobbits their clothes from the dryer. They took them thankfully, and ran to change. They didn't fancy Tim's clothes much. She waited for the bathroom, and when Pippin opened the door, she grinned down at him.
"I'm going to take a shower - you two don't get into any trouble, okay?" De had left a few minutes ago, so it was just she and the Hobbits in the apartment.
"Of course," Pip replied with a charming smile, taking her hand and kissing it softly. With a sigh, Kristin closed the bathroom door behind her. She undressed quickly, and got into the shower, groaning softly under the hot stream of water. She leaned against a wall of the shower, her eyes closed.
"What am I doing? Pip's from another world, a different time, and yet I'm allowing myself to fall so completely in love with him. What will I do when he has to go back? I couldn't possibly ask him to stay here, I know how much he adores his home."
She sighed, shaking her head. She wouldn't allow herself to think about this. Taking the bottle of pink Herbal Essences, she lathered up her hair, singing loudly, the first song that popped into her mind.
I feel so foolish,
I never noticed
You act so nervous
Could you be falling for me?
Let's give 'em something to talk about,
A little mystery to figure out,
Let's give 'em something to talk about.
She skipped around, filling in words where she forgot them. She reached out, grabbing her towel. Drying off her hair, she looked at her face in the mirror. A little too wide, a nose too big, lips stuck out way too far. Big ears. Weird eyebrows. She leaned close, dissecting and analyzing, criticizing every of her features.
"Ugly," she muttered, frowning at her reflection. With a sigh, she shook her head. "I don't even know how Pip likes me," she said to herself, and wrapped the towel around herself. Opening the door, she peeked out. Pip sat in her chair, reading. As he heard the door open, he looked up. She smiled, and stepped out into the hallway. A smile appeared on his gentle face, and she gestured for him to follow her into her room. He did so, without a word.
She closed the door behind her, and sat on the bed. Her leg peeked through the towel, and Pippin gulped as he sat beside her.
"I just.. Thought that, since Merry did .. you'd want to.."
"We don't have to," he said softly. "If you don't want to, I'd understand." She shook her head, and smiled.
"No, Pip.. I want to. It's up to you. If you don't think you're ready, or if you don't want me .." she trailed off.
"Want you?!" Pip exclaimed, turning to her, placing a hand nervously on her knee, then letting it wander up to her mid-thigh. "Of course I want you, who wouldn't?" Kristin looked down, a smile on her face. Pip's hand traveled further, and her eyes fluttered a bit as he touched a most private place.
"Oh, Pip," she breathed, and he paused.
"Do you want me to stop?" he asked, and she shook her head rapidly.
"No, no, please don't," she responded, and he grinned. He pressed his lips against hers, and laid her down on the bed.
Merry rolled his eyes as he heard loud moans, groans, and grunts coming from Kristin's room. He flipped on the television, and grinned, sitting back on the couch.
"Boy, it is about time those two made it," he said to himself.
