Chapter Thirteen

Waiting was never a thing I did well. But I managed by watching a bit of TV and rearranging my suit case twice. Finally when I gave up I moved to the bed and lay down beside Godric. I watched his still form. My gaze lingered mostly on the bits of his chest tattoo I could see and his face. My attachment to Godric wasn't all the healthy. And I knew once the time came, and I was safe, he'd leave me. I might think he won't leave but we're different.

Godric was the unliving and I was completely living. He slept through the day and walked around at night, I was the opposite. I breathed and he didn't.

Even though I knew the chances of anything happening were slim, I still enjoyed the thought of it. Sleeping when Godric slept, being awake when he was awake. Going for nice night walks holding hands. Sweet kisses whenever, and then those that were more passionate when no one was around. Lying in his arms in bed. And being physical with him in the most personal ways. Such wonderful thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" came Godric's voice startling me, looking at me from his place next to me on the bed. He looked to have just woken up. His hair, though short, was slightly messy and his eyes half open like a humans would be when they woke up. And there on his lips was a small, pleased smile.

"How long have you been watching me?" I asked softly.

"Just long enough to notice your new look and that you were thinking" Godric replied sitting up. The quilt covering his chest fell, pooling in his lap.

"Oh…" I said looking over the tattoo on his back that followed his spine. I was tempted to touch it, follow it from the bottom and work my way to the top. But I held myself back.

Godric moved from the bed and stretched lightly, before heading to the bathroom for a quick shower and to dress. Now alone in the room, sitting on the bed, I felt a little depressed. I had hoped he would have said more about my change. Maybe he didn't like it? Maybe he just didn't care? Why did I even care? I liked it and that's all that should matter, right?

"It's not like I mean anything to him…" I muttered especially softly with a sigh.

I guess it hadn't been all that long before Godric exited the bathroom clean and dressed in dark gray pants and a lighter gray long sleeved top. I watched him as he gathered his things, getting them ready to take when we leave. Though I liked the linen pants and shirt, I rather liked how he was dressed right now. Godric was over two thousand years old, but when he was turned he wasn't all that older then I am now. So seeing him dressed like this made him look his physical age, if that made any sense.

Getting up from the bed I decided to wait with my suit case, which was by the lounge. Just as I passed Godric I felt his hand grab my wrist, stopping me in mind step. Pulling me back slightly, silently telling me to wait, I turned back to face Godric. He looked thoughtful and when his eyes came to mine I was proven right.

"I never told you how beautiful you look, right?" he questioned tilting his head slightly. "No, I never did. Forgive me?"

I blinked. "You're forgiven?"

He smiled softly. "Thank you." His eyes moved to look at my hair. "I do love you're new hair colour, very warming and brings out your eyes more."

I could feel my face heating up, and it only got worse as Godric took a piece of hair framing my face between his fingers. He studied both color and feel, he seemed curious about it in a way that made him so cute. A smile slipped over my lips and it wasn't missed my Godric. His own smile seemed to grow a little bigger. That was when I remembered the present I bought him.

"Wait here" I said pulling back from his touch of my hair and then removed the hold on my wrist. "I have something for you" I stated heading for my bag, which was on my suit case.

Reaching my bag I opened it and pulled out the small bag with his gift. When I went to walk back I found Godric beside me with a quizzical look. When seeing the bag he looked very interested with slightly wider eyes, and that's when I giggled.

"Here you go" I said handing him the gift.

Godric looked at it before looking to me with a 'this is for me?' looking, and I nodded. Slowly and carefully he opened up the bag, and then proceeded to remove the contents. The next look to wash upon Godric's face was hard to read. But then when he pulled me into a comfortable hug I knew he liked the necklace.

"Thank you Fay" he whispered in my ear. "I will treasure this."

Pulling back from the hug I smiled brightly. "I'm glad you like it. When I saw it I thought of you…" I averted my eyes out of shyness.

Sadly his hand brought my eyes back to his, which shined with happiness. "I more then like it little one. It has been many, many years since I have received such a thoughtful gift."

It was that moment someone decided to knock at the door, destroying what a wonderful moment I was having with Godric. But it wasn't like we could be like this forever. It must be about time for us to leave. I just hope it wasn't Eric behind the door.

"It's Isabel" said Godric softly. "Come in."

I let out a soft sigh as said woman entered. She looked a mix of happy and sad. I guess happy because Godric was still here, but sad due to the fact he was leaving. She came up and said how she enjoyed serving Godric, and that she would miss him. They had grown so close over the years together. Then her eyes came to me.

"Could we have some time alone?" asked Isabel with a small smile.

Godric nodded his head, gathered mine and his things before leaving. Isabel promised to walk me down once we were done. So there we both sat on the lounge. She continued to smile at me and it wasn't all that uncomfortable.

"In such short time you have had some kind of influence over Godric, a good influence of course" she said with a small laugh. "You kept him company when he was at the Fellowship, and then got him to come out of there. Then you stop him from meeting the sun. Fay you are an amazing girl, who I know will keep an eye on Godric when you're in Louisiana."

"I'm not all that amazing, Isabel. Godric promised to protect me from the Fellowship 'cause I wasn't going to leave when he was. And when he was going to meet the sun, I had to remind him of his promise…all I've been is selfish."

She shook her head. "No, not selfish. It may seem like that but you care for Godric, more then I have seen most humans or Vampires." Isabel's hand came over to rest on mine. "And I can see the same in him."

"Even though I don't know you all that much Isabel, I am going to miss you dearly" I said sadly.

She pulled me into a light hug and told me 'she would miss me too'. Isabel saw me as a friend, one that could have become good friends over time. As she rose to her feet I grabbed my bag and took out her gift.

"Before we go I have something for you" I said holding out the small bag.

With surprise Isabel took the gift, not before saying she didn't expect anything. I told her it was just a thoughtful gift that when I saw it thought of her. She found that sweet. Taking the earrings from the bag Isabel seemed to love them, and then she voiced it with another hug.

"They are beautiful, thank you."

I was very happy that both Godric and Isabel loved my gifts. It made me feel like I knew them in some way. Isabel didn't waste any time putting them in, which made me laugh. With that we headed down to the lobby where everyone must have been waiting by now. Exiting the elevator I was greeted with Jason, Sookie and Bill standing off to the side, and Godric and Eric in the centre. Godric looked in my direction once sensing me. He smiled at both Isabel and me.

Eric seemed to notice Godric's lack of interest in him and looked to what his maker was looking at. When he saw me he seemed smug, possibly he liked the new me? I didn't know if I should feel flattered or scared. But I pushed it away as I walked over to the pair with Isabel.

"You look lovely Fay, very different" stated Eric. Maybe it was a compliment.

"She does" said Isabel wrapping an arm around me. "My friend did a very good job."

I smiled up at Isabel before looking back at Godric, as he was quiet. That's when I noticed around his neck was my necklace. Now I felt happier. Knowing Godric was wearing the necklace told me he really was thankful and loved it. Maybe he would grow to love me at some point.

"The car is just about here" said Eric looking over Sookie, Jason and Bill.

Reaching into my bag I pulled out Eric's card. "Here Eric, just like I said I would."

I handed him the card without a second thought. "Thank you Fay" he replied pocketing the card. "Have you chosen an alias name yet?"

"Yes I have" I stated with a smile. "I will be Eliza Smith. After all there are many Smith's in this world, who would question such a last name?"

TBC...
