Chapter 3
The next morning Emma quietly made her way to the kitchen trying not to disturb the sleeping feral on her sofa. When she bent down to look through a cupboard for something to put her cereal in a pan fell out making a loud crash. Cringing she popped her head over the counter to see Shalimar sitting up fully awake.
"Sorry." Emma said half smiling.
Shalimar smiled back. "It's ok but since you woke me you can make me what ever your having." Her smile grew even bigger.
Emma laughed at the feral, "Sure. Is cereal ok?" At Shalimar's nod she continued with her task.
Shalimar stood and walked into the kitchen. Sitting down at the breakfast bar across from Emma she started to eat her cereal.
"I've missed this" Emma said looking over at Shalimar.
"Eating breakfast?" Shalimar said teasing.
"No, eating breakfast with you...half naked." Emma laughed.
Shalimar looked down at herself sitting in her short top and boxers. Looking up at Emma she faked a shocked expresion. "I wasn't always half naked."
"True, sometimes you did actually put some clothes on." Emma said laughing. "I remember how Brennan used to stare at you so hard I thought his eyes would pop out."
Shalimar laughed along with Emma. Once the laughter died down Shalimar looked at Emma with a sad expression on her face.
"I want to see them again Emma. I miss them so much."
"I know me too. We'll try find them I promise." Emma said reaching across the table and squeezing Shalimar's hand.
After Emma had showered she sat in the living room watching T.V. She was waiting for Shalimar to get ready then they were going to go and get Shalimar's belongings to bring back here. They had talked over breakfast and had decided that it would be safer for Shalimar to move in temporarily.
Realising that she had left her watch in the bathroom she stood up. She figured that Shalimar would be in the bedroom getting dressed. Opening the bathroom door she quickly slammed her eyes shut when she saw the feral just stepping out of the shower.
"Sorry" Emma said eyes still closed. Turning around she could hear Shaimar giggling.
"I didn't know that my body was that frightening to look at." Shalimar said joking while wrapping a towel around herself.
Blushing Emma turned back round. "It's not...it's just...sorry I forgot my watch and I thought that you would have finished by now."
"It's fine. No need to apoligize." Shalimar said smiling at the psionic.
Still blushing Emma quickly reached across and grabbed her watch. Turning around she walked straight into the corner of the door.
"Owww. Shit." Emma said reaching up to carefully touch her right eye where she had hit.
"Christ. Your bleeding." Shalimar said grabbing a cloth and holding it to Emma's wound.
"It's fine." Emma said taking the cloth from the feral. "You go get ready and I'll deal with this."
"You sure?"
"Yeah it's only a little cut."
Nodding Shalimar walked off to get dressed.
