Chapter 2: Discovered
I opened my eyes, hearing a soft snoring beside me. I looked down at Holly, who was asleep, leaning on my chest. Only one thought was running through my mind: "Did that all really happen?"
I didn't move, afraid to wake her up. She looked like an angel...an angel, that's what Holly was. There was no doubt in my mind that she was my guardian, sent down to protect me.
After quite a long time of just laying around, waiting for her to wake up, I heard a noise, not unlike a groan. I smiled as she opened her eyes and smiled back at me. "Good morning, Artemis," she mumbled sleepily.
"Good morning, Holly," I answered in the same tired tone. "Maybe we should get up now...someone's bound to be looking for us."
She groaned again. "But Artemis...I don't want to get up. Can't we just stay like this forever?"
I chuckled softly and ran a hand through her hair. "Nope, sorry. I wish we could, but not today. Maybe on the weekend."
She sat up and gave me an annoyed look, before she leaned forward and kissed me gently. Me, being the love-starved twit that I am, deepened the kiss. I was in heaven. This is what I lived for. Then, Holly did something that I wasn't counting on: she pushed me back so I was laying down again. "Artemis?" she asked uncertainly.
"Yes?" I replied, looking straight into her gorgeous hazel eyes.
She smiled teasingly. "Are you sure you want to get up?"
I shook my head, and she grinned. I took a deep breath and grinned back.
"Then whatever shall we do?" she asked, her voice layered with false innocence.
I sat up again, my face as serious as was possible. "Whatever you want," I answered.
She ran her hand down my chest and leaned forward again, catching me up in a long, rough kiss. And that was when the door opened, and Commander Root stepped into our room.
