Lexx had hardly moved from her bed for days. She would get up to eat a little when Gordon had one of the maids bring some food up for her. She was about drift back to sleep when one of the maids came into her room.
"Excuse me miss but miss Aimee and two other ladies are here to see you. They say it is urgent."
Lexx looked up at the maid from under her covers. "You can send them up Judy, thank you."
Judy nodded and walked out of the room to send up Aimee and whoever else was here with her. About three minutes later Aimee, Mama, and Bride came walking into her room.
"Alexandria, why are still in bed at this hour? Come on cheri we are going to make you feel much better." Mama said, pulling the covers off of Lexx. "The first thing you will do is get a bath, you look absolutely dreadful."
Lexx slowly climbed out of her large bed and heard someone already drawing a bath for her. She smelled her favorite Lavender bubble bath. Aimee wrapped an arm around Lexx's waist and walked her to the bathroom.
"Come on Lexx, we're going to piece you back together." When they got to the bathroom Aimee left Lexx to wash up.
Lexx took her time with her bath. She forgot how a nice long soak in the tub could feel. The hot water soothed her body, and the smell of lavender soothed her mind. For the first time in days she let herself actually think about Remi, she missed him so much. She felt like a part of herself had been torn out of her, she just felt empty. After about a half hour Lexx got out of the tub feeling refreshed. She dried off, combed out her hair and wrapped the towel around her. When she opened the door she saw that Aimee had an outfit for her lying out on the bed. Lexx walked over and took the clothes, quickly slipping them on. She put her hair up into a messy bun, slipped on her black Vans sneakers and then went out into her sitting room.
Aime, Mama, and Bride were all sitting around talking about something but then stopped when they saw Lexx had finally come out of her room. Mama stood up. "Alright Lexx we are going to take you to Bride's shop and get you a new dress."
"Why?" Was all Lexx could say.
"Because you deserve it my dear, my son broke your heart and I want to make you feel better." Mama walked over and put her arm around Lexx's shoulders. "Now come on, this day is all about you."
Everyone else stood up and they walked out of Lexx's room to head down the steps and out of the house. Little did Lexx know that not only was the day all about her, it was all about getting her and Remi back together.
Two hours later Lexx felt like a new woman. Mama and the girls had taken her to a spa and got her pampered, they bought her a new dress from Brides shop, and they had taken her to beauty shop to get her hair and nails done. Lexx stood in front of a mirror at Bride's shop where they had returned to. She wore a dark emerald green dress that matched here eyes perfectly, it had an empire style bodice that hugged her slim figure and pushed her breasts up creating a view of tantalizing cleavage. It had small shoulder straps that were pretty much just there for show. The dress flowed down to her ankles; the whole thing was made out of the finest silk so it laid on her figure just right. Lexx couldn't help but smile, she had never looked more beautiful in her life.
Lexx heard a noise from behind her and saw Vane standing there with a smile on his face. "You look beautiful, no wonder Remi was so taken with you. He's miserable without you, you know." Vane came closer and she knew by the look in his eyes that he was telling the truth. "Please return to him Lexx, I hate to see a man in that much pain. I know what it was like when Bride got frightened of me and threw me out of her home."
Lexx could see the pain in Vane's eyes when he spoke of that incident. Was Remi feeling pain like that? Was he hurting as much as she was, or more? It made her heart ache just thinking about it, it made something deep inside her yearn to feel Remi's touch to have him hold her in his arms again. But how could she go back to him after what he had almost done? What if it happened again? Or what if he actually hit her?
Lexx had all these thoughts flying through her mind, it was driving her crazy. She looked up at Vane with a pleading look. "Vane, I don't know what to do?"
"What does your heart say? Forget about what your mind is telling you." Vane replied.
"My heart says to go back to him." Lexx said barely above a whisper.
Vane smiled down at her. "Then go to him."
At that moment Lexx's mind was made up, she would go back to Remi. But how would she do it? What would she say?
"Come on I'll take you, you can stay dressed like that I got the car." Vane said grabbing her hand and leading her out of the store before she could say anything.
Lexx noticed that the store was empty. "Where is everyone?"
"Their around, don't worry." Vane said with as much secrecy in his voice as Ash.
Lexx just took a deep breath as Vane helped her into her car. "Here goes nothing." She said to herself as Vane got in the drivers side of the vehicle.
It took only a few minutes to get to The Sanctuary, and it felt all too soon to Lexx. She was more nervous that a virgin bride on her wedding night. Vane let her out of his car and escorted her into the building as soon as she walked in she knew something was up. The place was practically empty and it was completely dark except for the candles that were set about. Vane led her over to a table that was set in the middle of the floor and pulled her chair out for her, urging her to sit.
"Stay here, I'll be right back." Vane said right before he disappeared into the kitchen.
Lexx sat there in the dark silent room waiting for, she didn't know what. She was about to get up and go see what was going on when she heard a noise form the stage. Suddenly a small light clicked on illuminating the stage where Remi was standing with The Howlers. Remi was dressed in black leather pants and a black shirt that molded to his body. It was one of the outfits that Remi had that made her practically drool. It was running amuck on her hormones already. She looked up and caught his eyes, and she was pinned to her seat. The pain she saw there wanted to make her run up to him and hold him, but the love she saw in them made her want to weep.
The band began to play the music to her and Remi's song. Now she did start to cry because not only was the band playing her song, but Remi started to sing it to her. His voice came out in a deep, husky timbre that strummed spots her he could never reach with his hands deep inside of her.
I
am a vision
I am justice
Never thought that I could love
Living
in shadows
Fading existence
It was never good enough
Within
the darkness
You are the light that shines the way
But you're
trapped in violence
I can be the man who saves the day
I'm
there for you
No matter what
I'm there for you
Never giving
up
I'm there for you
For You
Someone's changed
me
Something's saved me
And this is who I am
Although I was
blinded
My heart let me find out
That truth makes a better
man
I didn't notice
That you were right in front of me
Our
masks of silence
We'll put away so we can see
I'm there for
you
No matter what
I'm there for you
Never giving up
I'm
there for you
For You
Within the darkness
You are the
light that shines a way
In this blind justice
I can be that man
who saves the day
I'm there for you
No matter what
I'm
there for you
Never giving up
Cause you know it's true
You
were there for me
And I'm there for you
For you
For you
For
you
When Remi finished singing Lexx was on full blown sobs. He actually loved her; she had heard it in his voice. Remi stepped off the stage and began walking towards her, she was riveted by the way he walked; it was almost like he was prowling. Her tears began to subside, allowing her to stop hiccupping. When he reached the table without saying a word he took her hand and knelt down on one knee in front of her. Lexx got a confused expression on her face, not knowing why Remi was doing this.
Remi looked up into the eyes of the woman he loved and let the words he had always wanted to say to her flow from his lips. "Lexx baby, I can't promise you a perfect life. I can't promise you there won't be unhappy times. But I can promise you that I will always be here for you, I will never leave you and I will never hurt like that again. I would rather tear out my own heart than to hurt you." Remi stopped for a moment and pulled out a small velvet box from under the table. He opened it to reveal the most beautiful ring that she had ever seen. He then looked back up at her, holding her gaze. "Alexandria Vivian Surion, I love you with all my heart and soul. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and never let you go. Will you marry me?" Remi waited silently for her reply, holding his breath.
Lexx began to cry once again. "Yes, yes Remi I'll marry you." She couldn't help but get a big smile on her face.
Remi slipped the ring on her finger, and then stood up to take her into his arms. He picked her up and spun her around a few times before claiming her lips in the most passionate kiss they had ever had. "I love you" he said over and over again between kisses.
Lexx pulled back from him and looked into his eyes. "I love you too Remi. I not only want to be your wife, but I want to be your mate. I want to bind with you for eternity."
Remi couldn't help the big goofy grin that spread across his face. "I'll love you for eternity, I promise."
Lexx looked back to the kitchen when everyone came out applauding. She was the happiest woman on earth right then, she couldn't wait until her and Remi bound their souls.
