Author's Note: WCWD stands for Who Can We Disturb. LOL true, no? And yes,
the fondue is for luna… :o) Enjoy.
Chapter 16: Extra Extra, Read all about it: Reporter Interrupts Tender Moment!
Ardelia enjoyed the late night supper John prepared for them. The pasta, that was oh so good, and the 1984 Chianti that he had gotten especially for her. He surprised Ardelia even more with dessert: fondue. The only fruit he had bought was strawberries.
"John?" Ardelia called as she held a chocolate covered strawberry to his delicate pink lips, "Are you always so sweet?" John smiled at this compliment and took a small bite from the strawberry.
Then he moved the fondue onto the coffee table and lay down beside her. "Did anyone ever…" The doorbell rudely interrupted John's sentence.
"I'll be right back," Ardelia assured him. She was disappointed at the interruption. It was the second time that night that they were getting cozy and then someone calls or comes to the door.
Ardelia opened the door to two newscasters. "Hi," a lady in the white jacket and bright green pants said in a much too cheery voice. "We're from WCWD, we were…"
"NO! GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE!" She yelled at them. She couldn't take it anymore. She slammed the door shut and locked it, nearly knocking over the cameraman.
"Hey, watch it!" The man yelled. Ardelia yelled back, "Suck it up!" She slowly walked back into the living room.
John had disappeared once again, and tears overwhelmed Ardelia and she sat down on the floor as her knees gave out on her.
"Why am I stuck with this," she wondered aloud, not knowing exactly what she was talking about. The wine had gotten to her head. She then curled up on the floor, and fell asleep in a matter of seconds.

John walked back into the living room after he cleaned out the fondue pot, and relieved himself. What he saw on the living room floor when he came back surprised him.
His little Ardelia was curled up in a ball on the floor, fast asleep. "I never knew someone could fall asleep so fast," he whispered to Ardelia as he scooped her off the floor.
John carried Ardelia up to her bedroom and set her on the bed. Digging through her drawers, John found a pair of silk pajamas that looked more comfortable than the baggy t-shirt and old shorts she was wearing now.
After John changed Ardelia and tucked her in once again, he went downstairs and cleaned up the living room and organized the room as it had stood earlier. He cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen and started the dishwasher. He cleaned up, and went upstairs to watch Ardelia sleep.
He soon got tired, so crawled in beside Ardelia and cuddled up close to her, not realizing that she was actually awake. A single tear then ran down Delia's cheek, as she whispered silently to John, "You're just to good to be true…"
