Chapter 51:

Whoop, just done GCSE English Lang Paper 1 (literally started writing this chapter 5 mins after - even though my hand is dead!) so here's a chapter:


We wait for Michael to come home in silence, me hugging Myrnin although it's not calming me down.

"I swear, he is dead," I say into his neck, and he sighs - I'm probably going on for a little too long about this but I don't care - HE STOLE MY CAR!

"Honey, just calm down - I'm sure he has an explanation for his actions and you'll get to hear it very soon," he says placatingly to me. I reach up and kiss him, weaving my fingers into his curly brown hair. He returns the kiss and then my feelings of hatred fizzle away for the duration of the (very long) kiss.

"Well, wasn't that nice, my husband-to-be?" I say into Myrnin's face as our foreheads touch (yes, I'm more crouching than sitting to be like this, but it's rather comfortable actually!).

"Not as nice as this is!" he says, grabbing me and tilting me backwards onto the sofa. He kisses me, and for a while I'm completely at bliss. Just before the front door bangs open - Michael is here! I immediately sit up, shove Myrnin off me, and glare at Michael who looks as if he didn't want to see us. Or me, whichever.

"I can explain," he says, holding his hands up in peace. I ignore this, however, and run towards him with a murderous expression.

"You stole my bloody car Michael!" I scream, breaking every sound level I, or anyone in this house, have reached before. Hell, I think it broke the noise lock on the portal system it was that loud.

"I can explain," he repeats calmly. Behind me, I hear the portal open and Sam step through. He takes two steps before stopping and rubbing his hands in glee/anticipation (I'm not sure which one).

"You can explain Grand Theft Auto?" I screech, "You can explain having your own car but still stealing mine - what, were you too lazy to take it?" I ask and he says "No." Which infuriates me further.

"It was a bloody rhetorical question!" I yell and he backs away slightly as my fangs come down in anger. "Why the fuck didn't you use your own car?"

"I was at the lab and I saw your car there and I had to get to work so I borrowed it. I had hoped you wouldn't notice," he says meekly and Sam laughs.

I don't reply to this, I simply pull my phone out and scroll down the contact list to Hannah, before pressing the big green button.

"Hello, Chief Moses," she says brightly and Michael looks on in horror whilst Myrnin and Sam laugh, hard.

"Hey Hannah, I've got a crime that's occurred at home please," I say brightly.

"Oh, what is it? Is it dangerous?" she asks, all business.

"Erm just a charge of Grand Theft Auto to be brought against Michael Glass for stealing my car," I say sweetly and she laughs.

"I tell you what, I'll come down myself," she replies before I hear her engine starting.

"Enjoy your last moments of freedom," I tell Michael who looks rather stricken.

I turn around and face Myrnin and Sam, the latter of whom appears to be hastily dressed with his hair rather messy. Not exactly hard to tell what he was doing.

"Amelie forgave you?" I ask him and he blushes before nodding.

"Uhuh, well I told Michael that you would react like this so I heard you yelling at him so had to rush through and hear the yelling," he says with a grin - he knew about this.

"If you weren't married to Amelie I'd have you arrested as well, but Amelie'd kill me so..." I say and then Amelie appears. She's just as hastily redressed as Sam but at least she appears to have brushed her hair.

"Why am I killing you Claire?" she asks me.

"Because Sam could be arrested for Accessory to GTA, but you'd kill me if he was arrested," I say, anger in me beginning to cool from the boiling, bubbling, stage it's currently at. She raises her eyebrows before taking Sam's arm. Hannah then knocks at the door so Myrnin takes the pleasure of answering it, shutting the door before the light could hit us.

"Well, sorry Michael but you broke the law," she says and he duly puts his hands behind his back to be cuffed. She's just about to walk out of the door with him when Amelie says:

"Hannah, I've an accessory to GTA here," and pushes (a rather shocked looking) Sam forwards with an evil grin. Hannah looks rather shocked, but cuffs up Sam as well before marching them both out of the door at a hair-raising speed.

"Well I'll go put them out of their misery in about an hour or two," Amelie says as she sits down on the sofa. I hug into Myrnin as she says:

"So why did you need your car Claire?"

"We were going venue shopping," I say softly and she looks delighted at this.

"You've set a date?" she confirms and Myrnin nods his head.

"The 22nd March," he elaborates and she stands up in elation.

"That's when..." she begins before saying, "Well I'd best be off - there's just so many appointments I can make!"

With that, she zooms out of the living room, before I even notice she'd moved!

"You know, I don't remember being quite that happy as her maid of honour," I say wistfully, "In fact, I wanted to kill her more frequently than help her!"

He laughs, before saying:

"Amelie loves power and she'll claim it anywhere she can."

Amelie then calls through (the portal was left open)

"I heard that Myrnin!" Which makes me laugh as we sit down on the sofa.

"So, when do you want to go shopping for a venue?" he asks, puppy dog eyed.

"I'm meeting Eve tomorrow, Richard Friday, so Saturday?" I say and he considers this - honestly, what does he have to consider. It's not as if he's got any plans! - for a moment before nodding.

"Saturday it is," he says before kissing me. He then leads the way (a while later, sans a few articles of clothing) to his lab, decisively slamming the portal when we're through...


Haha, nice bit of law enforcement in this chapter: love the way I know what the term is in american law for car theft, not in english law & I'm english!

Also, what did you think of Amelie's wedding dress &Claire's bouquet?
