Chapter 4
Molly awoke to the sounds of boxes being moved and decided to go and investigate. She went into the living room and there was Gene and Christine sorting through their things.
"What's going on here?" Molly asked.
Gene looked at her sadly.
"Well with what has been going on and by the advice of our pastor, we thought it would be best to leave, especially since you and I are not married yet." Gene explained.
"So you're leaving because you don't want to live in sin?" Molly asked him.
"It would not be pleasing God if I continued this." He told her.
Anger flashed in her amber eyes as she turned her glance towards Christine who was right next to him.
"Did you have anything to do with this?" She asked her.
"Well it is wrong to be living together before marriage." Christine told her.
"Will you be leaving too?" Molly asked.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"But ..."
"No 'buts' about it! If he's leaving, I want you gone too!"
"I don't know where to go!"
"You had your parents before you moved in here and started to mooch off of me. Now I want you out!"
Molly headed back to the bedroom but just before she did, she popped her head from behind the corner.
"Oh and by the way." She said.
"What?" Gene asked.
"The computer, the TV, the phone, and the stereo are all mine, especially since I paid for them with my own money."
"But ..." Gene started to speak.
"But nothing asshole! If I find these missing when I get up I will call the police and have you both thrown in jail! Got it?"
Christine folded her arms and scowled at her as she spoke.
"Yes, we understand." She answered.
"Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed. I have to go to something called work."
She went back to bed and for the first time in a long while she would have a peaceful sleep.
Her eyes fluttered open and she was shocked to see Elrond sitting at the edge of her bed.
"What are you doing here?" She asked him.
Elrond just smiled lovingly at her as he slowly moved towards her face, stroking her cheek with his hand.
"Only you know why I'm here." He answered.
Electricity, eye to eye
Hey don't I know you I can't speak
Stripped my senses
On the spot I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this
You speak and I don't hear a word
Molly's heart started to beat faster as she looked into his beautiful blue eyes.
"I don't understand, why me?"
And then his lips brushed hers softly.
What would happen if we kissed
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away, would you stay
Or would I melt into you
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
And then she kissed Elrond back.
The room is spinning out of control
Act like you didn't notice
Brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit
Ring on my finger
You're such a moral, moral man
You throw it away, no question
Will I pretend I'm innocent
As they continued to kiss, his hands traveled down her torso. She was trembling with desire as he touched her.
What would happen if we kissed
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away, would you stay
Or would I melt into you
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
"This can't be real." She said to him under her breath.
"I'm very real Molly." And then Elrond kissed her again.
I struggle with myself again
Quickly the walls are crumbling
Don't know if I can turn away
They continued to kiss until Molly heard the alarm. She awoke feeling quite sexually frustrated. She laid there for a moment because she didn't want to see what kind of a shambles the house would be in. After a few minutes of deciding to get up right away. She decided to brave it. She stepped into the living room and of course the furniture was gone. They had left behind what they had been told to leave. The computer was still there, along with the phone, the stereo and the TV.
"Now finally I can get some peace." She said out loud to herself.
She looked at the clock and realized it was time to get ready for work. And for the very first time, she felt as if she could go to work without any drama.
About a half hour later she reported for work to relieve Vesta. Vesta noticed her co-worker's change in demeanor.
"Hey girl!"
"Hey Vesta!"
"You seen chipper today? What's up?"
"Let's just say I finally got that problem taken care of."
"Kicked the born-again moochers out finally?"
"No they left of their own free will believe it or not."
Vesta's eyes got huge.
"Shocking!"
"Yeah, no shit!"
Vesta grabbed her purse and headed for the door.
"Have a good night Molly."
"You too."
Vesta headed for the door and then she turned around and said one more thing to Molly before leaving.
"Oh yeah, try not to wrestle with Elrond tonight." She said with a chuckle.
"I promise Auntie Vesta." Molly said sarcastically
"Night hon."
Vesta left the building finally leaving Molly all alone to do her rounds. The museum seemed a little creepy at night but she thought nothing of it since she was used to it by now. Hopefully her mind would not be playing tricks on her, now the stress at home was alleviated. She finally made her way to The Lord of the Rings display and every character was still in place, including Elrond. But the creepiest one of all and that everyone agreed on this was Golum. Thankfully he didn't come to life. If she had the choice, it would be Elrond any day. She turned her back to display and she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Hello Molly." It was Elrond.
Molly turned to see him in the flesh.
"Oh no! Not again. I'm losing my mind!"
Elrond laughed.
"No my dear lady, you are not losing your mind. I am very real."
He stepped off the display and walked towards her. Molly was frozen in her tracks.
"I'm not even going to call for help this time, because I'm going to look like a fool when the cops arrive." Molly said.
"I understand that you were only doing your job."
"But why are you here?"
"It's very hard to explain, but you summoned me."
Molly looked confused.
"I summoned you? How in the hell could I do that?"
"I don't know you just did."
"Now I know I'm going crazy." Molly said out loud to herself.
