Ok guys I am really really sorry about the delay. I could give you a ton of excuses as to why I haven't been posting my story, but like I mentioned they would only be excuses. Even after saying that I am going to mention one thing. One reason you have heard less of me is because I have been trying to help and participate in the save Joan campaign, for any of you who don't already know about this please visit Joan of arcadia. com to help save the show anything you do will help. Well with that said I'll get to the story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 13

After Grace hung up the phone with Joan she laid back against Luke smiling.

"You know if you and I are going to stay together we aren't going to be able to go back to Maryland, at least not for a while."

"Why not?" Luke said already knowing the answer asking in hopes for more information about this guy.

"Luke. You know why. Look, you didn't have to come here, in fact I insisted that you didn't, I …"

Luke put a hand on hers to relax her.

"I came because I wanted to. I love you Grace. Living without you knowing that you are out there, knowing that you feel the same for me as I do for you, it's impossible."

This comforted her to know that he would do that for her, even she was aware that not everyone would travel that far for someone, especially if they were not sure of the outcome.

Grace began to tease him in spite of this fact. "Who said that I love you?"

Luke smiled. "Your eyes do everyday."

"Grace began to feel like what she thought Joan acted like everyday. Girly, too girly. It reminded her of Adam and Joan when they were still together, all the mindless talk that she detested and the extra care with her words and looks. She was becoming the epiphany of the very thing she detested. Then, she looked at Luke and decided she no longer cared. She pulled him into a long kiss before walking arm in arm under the stars to their hotel.

When they reached the hotel Luke began to get more serious.

"Hey horn dog! Not happening! We just got back together, I didn't allow it then what makes you think it's happening now?"

"Sorry, I just got carried away, you never uh… Acted like you did uh … before we got to the hotel. It won't happen again. I promise."

"Good." Then she leaned in and kissed him again, shortly this time.

"I'm taking a shower I'll be out in a few." She said.

"Need any help?"

She smiled at this and responded in a playful but serious tone "Not unless you want to be eating your food through a straw."

"Uh no, I'll pass."

"That's what I thought." She said with a smile as she headed toward the shower.

While Grace was in the shower Luke turned on the TV. There was a rerun of Bill Nye The Science Guy on. He began to laugh to himself when he thought of what Grace would say to him if she saw him watching it.

When she came out it was still on. Here first reaction was to laugh at him and call him a geek, but in his defense she did sit down next to him and cuddled more than usual. He wasn't sure if it was to get him wet with her hair or to just be with him, but he decided on her attraction to his geekiness based on the evidence that she would not have given him a second chance with her.

When Bill Nye was over they decided to go to bed.

"So, Luke said a little nervously. Where am I sleeping?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I mean we just got back together and…"

"Luke, I already said that we aren't going to do anything, not that you didn't already know that, so I don't see why things have to be any different than before when we lived together."

"But Grace they are different! We are in Indiana and you are running from some guy I know practically nothing about! I don't think it would be the right thing to do. What if in the middle of the night you had a bad dream and woke up thinking I was him! In your bed!"

"Luke, Enough! I don't need to hear about him all right! I trust you. You know that. Now come to bed."

These words sounded weird to Grace. "She trusted him" it was then she realized that she really did. Those words had just come from her without thinking. They were her true feelings, not just some she had to make up to seem tough.

Luke didn't agree with the sleeping arrangements but he wasn't about to argue with her. If he had learned one thing about Grace from being with her it was that arguing about things with her would only cause you to become seriously injured or upset. He learned that you only argue about something with her if you feel very strong about it, even then you could become hurt, but at least you might get your point across. Luke then decided that the phrase "Choosing your battles wisely" must have been the words of a genius, or from someone who loved one of Grace's ancestors. He had learned a lot about Grace over the time he had known her. Probably more than any other person would ever get to know. Still, even after this long thought he had something still bothered him. What wasn't Grace telling him?

He reached over to the other side of the bed and put a hand on Grace's hip and pulled her over to face him.

"Grace, What were you like, before this guy?"
