The rain had died down and there was not longer thunder and lighting. Ghastly and Tanith had gone home but Fletcher was still at the house. He had gone to the bathroom to clean of all the mud. Skulduggery and Valkyrie were in the lounge room. Valkyrie was lying on the couch and her head was resting on Skulduggery's lap. Skulduggery looked down at Valkyrie. She was asleep. She seems so peaceful Skulduggery thought she looks calm and happy. Am lucky to have her. Skulduggery reached down and put a piece of hair behind her ear. Valkyrie's eyes snapped open and she looked up into Skulduggery's black eye sockets.
"Hi" Valkyrie whispered.
"Have a good sleep?" Skulduggery asked
"Yeah no nightmares"
"That's good"
"Skulduggery?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"I love you too" Valkyrie could hear the smile in his voice. Valkyrie sat up and gave him a quick kiss. Once again Valkyrie felt soft lips against hers.
"Skulduggery?" Valkyrie asked
"What?"
"Every time I kiss you I feel soft lips. But you don't have any?" Valkyrie blushed deep red
"Well am sure there's a reason for that"
"But you don't know do you?"
"Umm….No" Valkyrie laughed.
Fletcher appeared out of no were and saw how close Valkyrie and Skulduggery were.
"Hey Val I have a question?" Fletcher asked
"What is it?" Valkyrie answered
"Whose a better kisser me or him?" Fletcher asked pointing to Skulduggery. Valkyrie frowned
"Do I have to answer?"
"Yes or…."
"OK I'll answer" Valkyrie thought about it. She already knew the answer to the question but she didn't wont to answer to quickly. She wanted Fletcher to think she was going to say him. She wanted to see the look on his face when she answered.
"Skulduggery" Valkyrie answered
Fletcher's mouth dropped open. Yep that was the look she was looking for.
"You can't be serious?!" Fletcher asked
"I am serious"
"But why?!"
"Because your lips taste salty" Valkyrie said and made a face. Skulduggery started laughed. Fletcher scowled. Valkyrie went into the kitchen to grab a drink of water. She came back into the lounge room and sat back down..
"I have another question?" Fletcher asked.
"What?" Valkyrie answered while taking a drink of her water.
"Ummm…..uhhhh…how…do…do you guys do it?".
Valkyrie spat out her drink all over the floor. And Skulduggery went stiff besides her.
"Fletcher!. He's a skeleton for goodness shake!" Valkyrie growled.
"So? Haven't you ever heard of a--" Fletcher was interrupted when Valkyrie threw a pillow at him.
"Enough with the stupid questions" Valkyrie mumbled.
