Eve stood by her front door, her face was illuminated by the street light.
'So, is this goodnight?' she cooed
'I guess'
'Do you want to come in and get more comfortable?'
'You see, I really like you but I don't want to rush you…I mean us' he blushed slightly thinking that this was the end.
But Eve smiled,
'Good, I've seen too many men take advantage'
'So, I'll see you in the morning then?'
'Yeah, see you in the morning'
Not knowing what else to do, he leant in to kiss her. To Much's relief, she did the same. It was a beautiful, if slightly awkward kiss, and they both knew they'd never be this happy again.
Robin and Marian were in the full heat of the moment when they heard the lift coming up followed by a key turning in the lock.
Much strolled in, beaming.
'Jesus Much!' Robin cried as he grabbed his jeans and threw Marian his shirt, which she hastily put on.
But Much didn't seem to notice either of them, he just kept walking to his room singing to himself in a rather toneless way. But it was still a happy song.
'Sorry, I guess I over estimated him!' Robin sighed as he turned to Marian
'It's ok. If you want we can go back to my place; my dad's defiantly not going to arrive in the middle of something'
'Ok,' Robin nodded, 'just give me a second to freshen up in the bathroom. Chuck me my shirt please.'
She pealed it off and threw it at him before searching for her own clothes. Robin laughed,
'I think they're behind the sofa' then he disappeared into the stylish bathroom.
He ran a comb through his hair and splashed on some of the aftershave Marian had given him a few years ago; this night was going to be perfect. He grabbed a box of condoms (just in case things got very heated) and slung his jacket over his shoulder before walking out again. Marian was standing there, fully clothed, looking at a piece of art work. It was a modern piece, just paint splashed about everywhere. But the colour really captured her,
'Who painted this?' she asked
'I did,' Robin laughed, 'one crazy day at uni. You were there when we did it!'
'Oh yeah. I was, wasn't I?'
'Come on,' he put his arm around her waist and steered her towards the door.
Robin and Marian lay side by side in her bed. By now they were just in their underwear. Marian was tracing Robin's abs with her forefinger dreamily. Suddenly Robin sat up and reached for his jacket, which was lying on the floor. He pulled a small box out of the pocket and turned to face Marian.
'I know this is normally done on one knee, but I think I'd get cold dressed like this' he tried to make light of the situation despite his heart pounding in his chest.
He prised open the box to reveal a ring, not dissimilar to the one Marian was wearing on her finger already.
'Marian, will you marry me?'
Hehe
I'm gonna leave it there 'cos I'm such a tease!
Because it's a BIG cliff hanger, I want 15 more reviews before I post the next chapter please. I'm so evil!
