hey guys, this is to celebrate over 100 reviews. thats made me so very happy, especially when ive had an absolutely shit week.

ok, im introducing another OC that i think needs to be in my story. eugene has been around a long time and before he was infamous he must of had friends and i think he would be loyal to his friends.

fraur001: thanks for all the long reviews, they were lovely

c.: i know it has to be stressful, and i wanted some realism so they had to fight about something big

im hoping you all kinda see why i put in the attack scene, with gothels manipulations and her attack it would make her terrified of the world and its up to eugene to help. i dont know if im planning to put any horrid gothel confrontation in just yet, let me know what you all think? should i have more angry gothel?

so here it is, as usual i own nothing

Chapter Fourteen

"Then, then she threw me out! She actually threw me out! All I was trying to do was help her and what does she do! Throw it in my face! She'd rather stay with her evil, brainwashing, so-called mother then come with me! How the hell could she do this! I mean, I'm Flynn Rider, Flynn Bloody Rider! Women throw themselves at me on a daily basis and this one, naïve, giant green eyed girl wont even leave her poor excuse for a home slash prison, cause that's what it is, a prison! She wont leave that fucking prison to be with me! How the hell could she do that!" Eugene said while downing maybe his ninth tankard of ale.

"Oh, I'm allowed to speak now Eugene." Said the sandy haired young man sitting next to him who was nursing his third tankard of ale. The man was just a few inches shorter than Eugene but built slightly bigger with a very deep tan and this was obviously from all the work he did outside as he was dressed fairly plainly and practically. Anyone in the near vicinity would tell that he was a farmer.

"Hey, hey, hey! Watch the Eugene talk, I've told you bout that Tom." Eugene said while turning to the other man, losing his balance and slightly slipping off the bar.

"Sorry, Flynn. I'm guessing you want an answer better than you're an idiot?" Eugene just looked dumbfounded at his friend.

"Look Eugene, or Flynn or whatever you want to be called nowadays. I've been your friend since we were what, four? I know you better than anyone and probably better than you know yourself, so you can completely rely on my opinion when I say your being a complete idiot."

"How?"

"You love this girl; you can tell you love this girl a mile off. You're just afraid of losing her so you've decided to have this big fallout so you can leave instead of the other way around. I mean did you really think that she would leave everything she knew to be with you after only three, four weeks?"

"What makes you an expert on everything about me and my life? You don't know shit about my life!" Eugene said as he jumped to his feet in outrage, but misjudged the distance between the stool and the floor and stumbled over the stool, before falling down.

"Yes and I believe I have you to thank for that. So let me do you a favour and stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life." Tom said to his friend tying to get him to sit back down on the stool. Eugene looked up at his best friend, because Tom was really his best friend. They had both lived in the orphanage together, whereas Eugene had been orphaned through a horrible accident, Tom had been a bastard child left on the doorstep. This of course made life miserable for Tom, until Eugene showed up with his book. The book was something that his father had read to him, and one of the few things that escaped the fire that destroyed his family. After a few weeks the two became inseparable and that included the start of Eugene's life of crime. At that time they were merely pickpockets trying to get some extra money before being sent out to live in the big, wide world. Unfortunately the security around the capital was a lot more than they expected and Tom got caught, but Eugene wasn't going to let his best friend's life end. He managed to get Tom out of trouble and the guards after him. This was the start of the life of Flynn Rider, and while he became the most infamous thief in the kingdom, Tom was taken as an apprentice farmer and has been working his way to owning one of the most successful farms in the central kingdom. Tom feels he owes Eugene everything, including his future wife and his career, so he doesn't want him to throw away something that is obviously going to make him so happy and complete.

"Listen, I owe you so much Eugene and I want to see you happy. I know you're not happy," Eugene started to object to this but Tom held up his hand for silence, "Let me finish. You've lost everything and everyone you cared about, don't lose her too. I mean for the past few weeks you've been talking about going away and retiring to a normal life, why throw that away on a stupid…"

Tom didn't get a chance to finish that sentiment as a tall, busty maid with long, dark hair suddenly leapt onto Eugene's lap. She flung her arms around his neck and began to nibble against his ear with no warning. Eugene just sat there trying desperately to remember this woman's name, though he thought it started with an "M", so was merely repeating all the names beginning with "M" that he could remember.

"Aw Flynn, you don't remember me and all that I could do to you?" The woman said in a husky voice.

"Jane!" Eugene exclaimed.

"Oh Flynn, where have you been the last few weeks, I've missed you and your magic hands!"

"Oh, busy" Eugene said while Jane started to kiss down his neck towards his collarbone, unbuttoning his vest and shirt along the way. "I've had some jobs to do, you know, that kind of thing."

"All work and no play makes Flynn a dull boy. How bout I help you relax a little." Jane didn't give Eugene a chance to answer before dragging him upstairs towards the rooms. Tom merely yelled towards his friend, trying to plead with him to see sense. When he watched his friend disappear upstairs he shook his head into his ale. When he finished he decided it was best to leave his friend to another stupid mistake and return to his own home. Maybe this would make Eugene see how much he needs this girl.

Eugene on the other was lost in the lust that was now being forced upon him. He remembered that Jane worked at this tavern and thus lived here. That would explain the room he was in right now. He had slept with Jane many times, for what he would class as stress relief. He was always gone in the morning but she always seemed to be willing to fuck him again in the next few weeks. That's what they did. Fuck. It seemed like such a horrid word now. Ever since he was with Rapunzel he had thought about making love, not just fucking. He now saw that there was such a difference.

He felt himself land on the bed, which was soft, but not as soft as Rapunzels. The woman, Jane was straddling him, kissing his now bare chest. He was beginning to get lost in the fog of lust and sexual tension. He was so horny. Normally he would find girl and crawl into bed with her for a few hours, but he didn't want to since he met Rapunzel. Every smile was all for him, every touch made his heart leap and every second he spent away from her made his soul a little sadder.

He felt her reach lower and grab onto his cock, which was still flaccid. She was looking a little shocked; normally Eugene was able to get hard really quickly but was able to sustain it for a very long time, bringing multiple orgasms before he came into his whatever woman he was with. But now he couldn't do it. The only woman he ever wanted to be with ever again was Rapunzel. He had to get back to Rapunzel.

He jumped up, pushing Jane off his lap as he went, yelling some sort of apology as he ran from the room. Buttoning up his shirt, vest and trousers on the way. He raced down the stairs and said a quick goodbye to Tom on the way out, all the while being yelled at by Jane. She was yelling for Flynn to come back at the top of the stairs in a state of semi-undress. But Eugene didn't hear this. He was already out the door and running in the direction of the tower. He didn't want to lose anymore time.

It was getting towards dusk and he knew he couldn't make it back to Rapunzels tower before nightfall. He could have waited till morning, but he had no idea when that witch would be back. If he didn't go now he could lose Rapunzel forever. That's when he saw it. The light brown horse that was tied to the front of the tavern.

"Well," he thought, "I am a thief after all."

Rapunzel had finally settled down at her dinning room table. She had spent the day in a variety of moods and activities. She had cleaned furiously before collapsing in a head on her bed. She had painted before angrily destroying her own bedspread to make another. She had cleaned again. She had baked before getting angry and throwing it all aside to try something else. Finally she had rounded on her bed. She got down on her knees and hauled out a large wicker basket that she was keeping under her bed. She threw the lid of this halfway across her room before throwing everything else out of it. This was where she kept all the things that Eugene had brought her the past few weeks. All her book, paintings, sketch pads and souvenirs that he thought she would like. She intended to throw all these out and be done with all thoughts of Eugene. But she stopped when she saw the painting that she had done last night while he slept. It was one of him asleep beside her. She then saw the flag that he had gotten her on the best day of her life. She then looked at the pile of books.

There were twelve of them now. There were two on geography. Three on history. One on animals. Four fiction novels. One on human development and one other on relationships. She took each one out and looked at the cover lovingly. There was so much thought and care compressed into that wicker basket. He really was trying to show her the world and she was so ungrateful as to throw it back in his face. She looked back into the basket and saw another book that she didn't recognised. Its title said The Art of Love Making. She opened the front cover and saw that there was a note written;

Dear Blondie,

I know all this kind of stuff scares you, but I wanted to show that it isn't horrible or sinful. That is actually love some of the time. I have done these things before and I can't help but think that with you it might be something great, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I won't try to do anything until you're good and ready, and that includes everything in life. I want you to want to do everything and be able to do it, with me.

Love Eugene

This of course brought on a fresh batch of tears. She may have just lost one of the most important people to have ever entered her life and there was nothing she could do about it. She started to put everything back in the basket, leaving out the book on relationships. She thought it might be useful to look over the thing that she had lost and the thing that she had decided to keep. She sat herself down at the table with a mug of tea and began to read, hoping that it would take up the rest of the day.

By the time Eugene had arrived at the tower the light was beginning to fade but he could still see that the shutters were closed. He yelled up for Rapunzel, but there was no answer. She was either asleep or ignoring him. With everything that had happened today he thought that she probably was ignoring him. So he decided that if she wasn't going to let him up, he would have to climb up.

Rapunzel had finally fallen asleep, face first, in her book. She had been having that dream again. The one with the suns and the couple in the shadows, except this time there was another part. There was a single lantern. As well as the couple calling her name, softly, longingly. It was all very confusing. She would love to have asked Eugene but he was gone. She was cleaning up the table when Pascal suddenly jumped from the table and ran to the window and started pointing towards it. Rapunzel had no idea what her friend was trying to say until she heard the grunts coming up towards the tower. She ran to the kitchen to grab her trusty frying pan. Then she heard something slightly unfamiliar. It was a soft knocking followed by a familiar voice saying her name.

Rapunzel went to the window and unlocked the shutters, seeing Eugene sitting on the windowsill. He smelled of alcohol and the buttons on his shirt were slightly misplaced. But he was there, looking at her with his deep brown eyes. Almost pleading to come in.

"I'm so sorry," Eugene said. It broke Rapunzels heart to hear these words spoken by the man in front of her, but she was still mad at him and something inside her told her to get more than that. She stepped backwards to allow him in and as soon as she did he dropped to his knees in front of her.

"Please Rapunzel. I don't know what I was saying and I can't stand it if you left. You're the only one who's cared for me since my family and I lost them. I can't lose you too. I'm so sorry. I was so wrong. It was too soon, I'll do whatever you want. Just don't leave me alone again." He practically sobbed into her abdomen. The tears started to roll down her checks as she took his face in her hands as she got to her knees too.

"I'm sorry too. You were right. I need to leave here. I just cant right now. But I want to. As long as I'm with you."

There were staring intently at each other. The tears still falling from each others eyes as they closed the space between them in a deep and meaningful kiss. They pulled each other closer and closer. There was no longer any distance between them, both literally and figuratively. Eugene had given her his heart and soul and Rapunzel intended to take good care of it.

The kiss was becoming more passionate and needy. His lips suddenly left hers and buried into her shoulder. One of his hands ran into her hair while the other grabbed at the small of her back, pulling her flush against him. Her hand grabbed at his hair and his shoulder, refusing to let the contact go. She was trying to get closer, she still had no idea why, just that she needed it. She was beginning to descend into a haze of lust again. The only thing that brought her back was the feeling of suddenly being off the ground.

Eugene had picked her off the floor. He looked into her shocked eyes before sealing his lips around hers again. He carried her up the stairs and into her room, laying her down gently on the bed.

"Eugene," She gasped. He complied with this and stopped. He wanted her so much, but he stopped. He kissed her softly on the lips before lying on his back. Rapunzel grabbed his arms and pulled them around her body. By the time she lay back down Eugene had already fallen asleep. This made her smile, but not for very long as she fell into a deep sleep right beside him.

right, i just did some rejiggling of my chapter plan and realised with all these extra bits im adding in this story might end up being over 30 chapters long. but with any luck i might get this finished before the summer.

as always, thanks for the reviews and keep them coming, they really do cheer me up.

and one other thing, if you see someone having a fit on the street please stop and help them, you have no idea how many people walked past this man this morning until some woman ran to get two porters on break and i went over to see what was going on. be good samaritans! its good karma.
