She waits for him in the hallway trying not to look so obvious. Her heart leaps in her throat as she sees him approaching, looking so good in all the black leather. "Taker." She says casually as he walks by, so lost in his thoughts he doesn't even see her there. Stunned slightly he turns towards her. "Sorry I didn't see you there." "It's ok." She replies taking his hand. He looks down at their hands confused then sees the note she places in his hand and closes his fingers around it.
"There's so much I had to tell you but I can't sneak away to tell you." She says. "We'd better part ways, John will be coming down here soon." He nods and looks her in the eyes before walking off slowly.
Before Taker is even out of sight John comes. "Feeling better?" he asks. "Much." She replies. "Did you mean all that earlier?" he asks. She puts her arms around his neck and kisses him, a real kiss this time. "I guess so." He laughs. "Let's go get ready for our 'appearance'." He says reaching for her hand this time and not her wrist. John pulls a big white box out of his locker and hands it to her when they get to their locker room. Inside lay a blood red corset dress. "Like it? He asks. "I love it." She says, actually meaning it this time. "Go put it on."
"How does it look?" she asks walking out of the bathroom. "It looks gorgeous on you my dear. You look like a million bucks." She smiles and hands the box with the crucifix to him. "Clasp it for me?" She feels his hands brush the back of her neck as he pulls the delicate chain around her neck, sending chills down her spine.
