Lavender - thank you lol.

The next day Marian was up early and was dancing around the living room in only her underwear and one of Robin's hoodies to ABBA's 'thank you for the music' on her headphones. Robin came downstairs in his boxers and bed-head hair looking lightly spaced.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Marian frowned then held her finger up, switched her iPod off and took off her headphones.

"What did you say?" she asked

"What are you doing?" Robin asked again.

"Erm … dancing" she answered

"It's 6 in the morning," Robin said sleepily. Marian just shrugged. Robin shook his head and laughed.

"I'm getting coffee you want some?" he asked

"Yes please" she had her hands behind her back and one leg bent at the knee looking so innocent the fact she was barely 5ft 2 just added to the little girl look. Robin laughed again and Marian went back to her music.

"Hey don't forget we have John's birthday party tonight at his place so don't be in late" Robin called from the kitchen. No answer. "Marian!" he shouted as he came back through to the living room.

"What?" she asked as she took her headphones off again.

"John's party. Tonight. At his place." Robin shouted again like she still had her headphones on.

"Ok!" she shouted back in the same tone and they both laughed. Marian drank her cup of coffee and went back to dancing. Robin watched her as she spun around the room mouthing the words to herself. He smiled to himself, his girlfriend was crazy and he was the luckiest guy in the world to have her.

The music blasted in her ear. She just wanted to get out of it all.

"Another one please" she asked the bar tender

"I'll get this." a man swooped in beside her and paced the money in the bar tenders hand. "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" She rolled her eyes and smiled but soon went back to her sighs.

"That's a big sigh. Anything I can help with?" Marian gulped down half her drink and slammed it down on the bar.

"Piss off" the man laughed.

"Want to come back to my place?" he asked placing his hand on hers. Marian looked down, finished her drink and slammed it back down.

"Abso-fucking-lutely" Marian hopped off the bar stool and grabbed her bag of the bar and walked to the door. The man followed and ushered her into a waiting taxi. They got to the door and staggered in laughing.

"And you haven't had a boyfriend since?" he asked crying with laughter.

"Hey! Just because he had a fetish in the kitchen doesn't mean it was my fault he nearly got his … thing cut off. I've had plenty of boyfriends thank you very much" she tossed her bag over her shoulder and flounced over to kitchen counter and perched on it. "What about you? You had any weird fetish people in your bed?"

"Oh yeah. Erm let me see. Gay porn, latex, cyber-sex, whips and chains." He said counting on his fingers.

"All the same girl?" Marian raised her eyebrows

"God no. I would of died if it was. I still have the scars to prove the last one" he gave a cheeky smile. "So no current boyfriend?" he asked

"No. Plenty of them but none of them seem to stick around much" she looked up into his eyes "They were nice of course. Well. Not all nice. Defiantly not all nice." she stared at a spot on the wall and looked blank.

"This is usually the part when I try and get in your pants but do you want to talk?" he said moving towards her.

"This last guy. His name was … well never mind. He was kind of rugged. Didn't know how rugged he could get. He beat me black and blue in every place that couldn't be seen if I was wearing a mini skirt and a strappy top. I'm not stupid I got out of it as fast as I could. Then he called me and said if I didn't get back he'd kill me. I didn't believe him but he came after me beat me up all over again. He left me in the alley for dead." Marian choked back the tears and shook her head "but I told the police fortunately he had already been caught for drugs or something." She smiled "just drowning my sorrows at the bar. I'm fine now"

He leaned in and kissed her. Passionate and fiery. "Now the last time I saw you." She began. "You were being told off in Miss Green's English A-level class because you had a boner whilst reading Shakespeare," she laughed and held her hand to her mouth.

"It wasn't the Shakespeare," he admitted. Marian cocked an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah? Well who was it? Jessica that sat in front of you? Abigail in the second row?" she teased.

"You" he said

"Oh that's nice to know" she flipped her head. She stared at him again. She grabbed his neck and kissed him fiercely.

Marian woke up with a hand on her waist. Not her hand. She looked to the owner and smiled. She pulled the covers back and tiptoed over to the mirror.

"Morning" the hand owner said sleepily from the bed.

"Good morning" she looked back over her shoulder and got back into bed.

"I love you, you know that?" he said. Marian let out a laugh

"It's been three years since we saw each other Locksley you're not seriously in love with me."

"I am. I always have been. I want to make something of this," she laughed again.

"You couldn't make any relationship never mind this, last a week" she said, "Well, I'd give you two" she swung her leg over and sat on top of him "I'm a pretty good shag" she winked Robin began to tickle her and she screamed.

"Marian" he kept calling "Marian"

"Marian" Marian jumped in her seat.

"What? Sorry I was miles away" she looked around and realised she was at work in the canteen.

"You weren't listening to me were you? I told you she never does" the girl said laughing and turning her head to the girl sat next to her. "I was saying I don't know how people can do this" Marian's mind was blank

"No Mandy I wasn't listening to you. And what the hell are you on about?" Mandy rolled her eyes and turned the paper she was reading towards Marian.

"I don't know how people can do this. Kill themselves. I couldn't do it"

"Yeah but you're too chicken shit to do anything" the girl by her side said.

"Shut up Gwen" Marian studied the article.

A mother. A wife. A daughter. She killed herself and left everyone behind to suffer.

"I tell you what though. I could bloody kill that Josh of mine sometimes" Mandy said jokingly.

"No even I couldn't do that," Gwen said.

"Yeah me either" Marian said. "Couldn't kill me. Couldn't kill Robin." She said clutching the paper with the picture of the deceased. "Couldn't kill me couldn't kill Robin" she smiled then looked at her watch. 3 o'clock. "Sorry ladies" she finished her coffee. "I have a party to go to"
