Hey all. I was at my Gran's all day and was able to write (in my diary, my Gran don't have no computer) chapters 8 and 9, with the beginning of 10. It doesn't really get interesting until that chapter but clearly people loof it.

Bradhadair: I feel so loofed! You haven't reviewed this story until now. I loof getting reviews. I cry when I don't. Thanks for the complements which your review was full of (my favourite kind), seriously that's all you wrote (did I mention how much I loof those kind). Anyway, you should feel sorry for Elsu. As I said to Wiccan-gal, I am not at liberty to discuss the relationship between Him and Moira, because I don't know. I'm just pulling your leg (which I imagine is sore); I have the whole story planned out. But I'm not revealing anything. Not a, nothing. Ducks and screams as nofurylikewiccanscorn and wiccan-gal start to quack like ducks. I don't like ducks! Nah, I loof ducks. Anyway…

Wiccan-gal: Stop asking for Elsu and Moira. I get it. You want them to be together. But I'm not sure if that will happen because…ermm… I said so! But keep reviewing. You make me want to write more, I know at least one person wishes to read the story. Although other people do to, this makes me happy!

…

Gideon sat their explaining his current situation with Hope to his friends. It had been seven months since he had first meet her. Since then they tried to see each other every weekend.

"So how long is she staying for?" asked Ryker.

"Two weeks." Since school was officially off for summer, Hope had decided to stay with her mum, Kira. He remembered when she had told him which only last week was.

…

"You're not serious!" He said. His face was bright with the news. She nodded and ran into his open and welcoming arm's He held her and spun her around. When he stopped they looked at each other.

"She said it was ok." He asked. He was referring to Kira of course. The last time Hope had asked to stay here; Kira had down right refused, saying it was irresponsible and a bunch of other reasons forgotten and lost to him.

"Yeah. Of course, that was after we talked." Still wrapped in each others arms, Gideon moved strands of hair to reveal her beautiful face. She wrapped her arms around his waist and held on tight, like someone was pulling them apart.

"About what?" He asked and returned his hand to her back. They were in the local park; it was a sunny day that was rare to this place. Hope brought her hands down to his and joined hers in his. She started to walk to the great oak in the middle of the park. Its branches stretched and were covered by new leaves, fresh out for the summer.

"Us." Was the simple reply that made the two fall silent. All the noises usually hidden by the outside world could be heard in this moment.

"How did she take it?" He asked, shocked. Hope had been the one to say they shouldn't tell her and his parents. It would complicate things; make things awkward between the families.

"It's not as if she didn't already know." She said and laughed slightly. Gideon smiled but Hope was unaware. Her head was to the ground as not to see a reaction unwanted. This relationship had changed them both of them. They grew patient, loyal and responsible. They had never felt feelings like this. It made them wary let long for the other when alone. When she stopped talking, Gideon ran his thumb up and down hers. She smiled a little.

"She asked how long, I told her since I first met you. She asked how and I explained it to her." Since they were together, Hope had managed to come over to Ireland using a simple teleportation spell. Other times, Gideon would travel to England the same way. They wished they could stay together forever, but they lived different lives. Gideon had to stay with his family and Hope led a life much like her mother's. So the spell was designed to send the teleporter in question back after a set time. Usually an hour but sometimes it was extended.

Gideon wished so much she could stay here and live a normal wiccan life. She would have loved to. She had met all his friends and they seemed willing to accept her. But she knew it wouldn't work. She didn't have that life, although, she wished she did.

"And she asked if I loved you." The question startled Gideon. Not as much as the answer will, he thought to himself. Hope sack to the ground and leaned against the tree for support. He dropped down beside her and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into him slightly.

"What did you say to her?" He asked her, trying not to push her. He had never asked the question to himself. Did he really love her or was it just raw desire?

"I had to tell her the truth, or she would have known." He watched as a silent tear fell from her eyes. He pulled back some hair out of her face and kissed the tear away. He squeezed her hand as to mean she could tell him anything.

"I told her I do." She said and looked up at the shocked face of Gideon. She saw his reaction and looked down at the ground, shaking her head.

Out of the blue, Gideon took her chin in his hand and drew her on a deep passionate kiss. When they pulled apart, Hope was breathing heavy and Gideon was smiling.

"I love you too." He said. Hope let out a gasp of air and smiled. They closed in on each other for another kiss.

…

"Wow, guess we won't be seeing you for a while then." joked Elsu. Gideon was glad he was able to do that. If he and Hope ended, he wouldn't have even made it to the circle. It must have broken his heart when it happened. They all laughed at his joke and Gideon looked around at his friends. Ryker had his arms around Ebony and as lay back on him. They were forced to sit on the floor as Gideon, Moira and Elsu were squashed onto the small couch. Most of the coven was already here. Some people from the town were not here yet, and Kira had gone to pick Hope up from the airport. The spell would not allow her to be here for that long so she needed to catch a plane.

He felt a twinge of emotions, and then realized that Kira and Hope were home.

"Gotta go." He said, standing up and heading for the door.

"See in two weeks." Moira called after him. He heard laughter and just rolled his eyes.

When he came outside he could barely make out the outline of the two women. When one started to advance towards him, the porch light turned on and revealed it was Kira coming up with two bags in her hands. She brushed past him silently, either aware that him and Hope would want to be alone or still pissed at him for not telling her about them. He was aiming for number two.

"Hey there, Cowboy," called Hope. They run up to each other. Gideon wrapped his arms around her and kissed her with such a passion he never wanted to let go. She wrapped her arms around his neck to hold herself up. When they pulled away, Hope was glad she had her arms around his neck to keep her standing.

"Wow," was all she could master.

"Yeah," He agreed. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. They leaned against each other and closed their eyes. "I'm so glad you're here."

"Me too." They stood in silence for a while.

"You look gorgeous tonight." He said as he looked down at her.

"You say that every time you see me." She said grinning. He caught her chin in his hand and pressed his lips against her softly.

"I mean it every single time." She smiled, absorbing his complement. "But tonight you look extra special." She was growing her hair longer and now it hung elegantly down her back. She wore a tight green, velour sleeveless top that ended just before her belly button. Her black skirt reached down to her ankles and flared as it went down.

"Thanks don't look so bad yourself." She said, her smile stretching from ear to ear. She still couldn't believe that she was getting to spend the next two weeks with him. Especially now she knew he loved her. She loved him too, more than anyone would ever know.

"Let me help you with your bags." He offered.

"My Mum already took them in, sorry." She said as he remembered Kira walking up the path with bags in her hands. A playful smile creped onto his face.

"Well I can't carry your bags in…" One of his hands slid down to her leg and the other remained on her back. Within an instant, he had swung her up in the air and into his arms. He started to walk up to the house. "…I'll help carry you in."

"No, Gideon, put me down." She yelled playfully as he walked up the stairs. Her grip around his neck tightened. He stopped suddenly.

"Well if you want me to put you down." He pretended to drop her and she squealed. "You know I would never do that, love." He said reassuringly.

"I know." She put her head on his chest and heard his heart beat a rhythm familiar to her. He walked up to the house with his love safely lying in his arms.

A/N: I like Gideon and Hope. They are my favourite couple out of the two. Anyway. I'm going to wait until I have written the next two chapters out in my diary before I type them on the computer. Although you think you don't need to review. YOU DO!
