Chapter 25

1194

Robin awoke to the comfort of a bed; although it wasn't exactly a comfortable bed, it was better than what he had been sleeping on for a while. He felt the presence of Marian in front of him. He lay resting with his front against her back, draping an arm around her body to draw her closer to him. He then pressed a gentle kiss to her neck which made her stir.

"Hello my love," he whispered into her ear.

The warm sound of his voice made Marian smile.

"Hello," she replied. "How long have we been asleep?"

"A while," he smiled. "I do not know what hour of the day it is though." He added as their room did not have a window.

Marian simply nodded before settling further into his tight embrace.

"I do not wish to get up," she sighed.

"You do not have to," he smiled.

"hmm" she mumbled softly.

"I cannot believe we fell asleep," Robin laughed lightly.

"I know we must have been tired."

"Yes, because that was not what I had planned to do at that moment," he smirked.

"Really?" she asked, knowingly, turning her head to the side to see him better.

"Of course," he smiled before meeting her in a kiss.

When they broke apart they lay in each other's arms, enjoying the moment.

"Do you know what I dreamed about last night?" Robin asked her.

"No, what?"

"Well it wasn't really a dream. More like a memory. It was the time when we almost kissed."

"Robin there have been many times where we have almost kissed," she laughed.

"I mean the first time. When I was 16 and I climbed to your window while my father was away."

Marian remained silent reflecting on what he had said.

"I remember," she spoke softly.

"That was when I first realised that I had feelings for you," he admitted.

"It was the same for me," she smiled.

He kissed her on the cheek as they both happily reminisced about that day. Then a thought came to Marian's head and she couldn't help but ask Robin.

"Robin are you going to speak with Much today?"

Robin groaned in slight frustration before answering, "Why are you so determined for me to speak with him?"

"Because it is important that he understands that you still care for him. Robin I am not going to repeat our conversation from before. You need to speak with him," She told him firmly.

"Fine," Robin surrendered, not wanting to get into an argument with her.

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"Shouldn't you go and see to Much?"

"Now?"

"Yes now is the best time I think?"

Robin sighed before reluctantly getting up from the bed and putting his belt on.

"Are you happy now?" He asked mockingly, demonstrating that he was walking to the door.

"You have not spoken with him yet," Marian smiled, enjoying tormenting him.

Robin laughed as he said, "You are a handful do you know that?"

Marian just raised her eyebrows contentedly as Robin walked over to kiss her.

"I will see you soon," he told her lovingly.

"I will be waiting," Marian replied softly.

He then planted another kiss on her lips before walking out of the room to speak with Much.
