ONTO THE STORY!
××Nicolette's POV××
As I led Legolas out of the bathroom and through our bedroom (That sounds so weird to say!) I didn't see the bed behind me and fell flat on my back on top of it, dragging Legolas down with me.
The bed groaned under our weight but stood up.
Legolas kissed down my jaw line and then to my neck and shoulders, whispering words to me in Elvish. One of the few moments I wished I had paid attention to my Legolas-obsessed friend Ariel when she was explaining the Elvish language and it's intricacies.
"We shouldn't be doing this…" I said breathlessly as I kissed him.
"You're right, we shouldn't," He replied once our lips parted, he continued to kiss my neck, my towel the only thing between him and me.
I smiled and laughed a little bit, truth be told I was incredibly nervous. I had been in worse positions with a guy before but this was different. This was with the Prince of Mirkwood. As we continued to kiss I had little flashbacks from classes about saying no to sex, my church, thinking about friends who had gotten pregnant by accident and their life went down the drain…
Finally I gave in, "Legolas, I can't do this, I'm sorry. But I just can't, please forgive me," I said. My face was flushed and I imagine that I looked like a mess.
Legolas got off of me and that dim, wanting look in Legolas' eyes faded away slowly, he smiled nervously and put a hand on my shoulder, "I'm the one who should be sorry, Nicolette. I'm the one in the wrong."
I looked at him seriously, "Legolas, you did nothing wrong! I'm the one who kissed you". I let my instincts cloud my judgment; it was my fault!"
"Nicolette, I took advantage of you…" Legolas began but once again I cut him off (I'm starting to get really good at that!)"
"Legolas! Knock it off! Look, I love you and I wanted you. And I let that rule my actions, so it's my freaking fault!" I said, hoping to get him to shut up. Then I realized what I said. "I mean uh- I…um…Oh screw it! I love you! I've loved you ever since we left Lothlorien and it's only gotten stronger since then, okay!" I looked at Legolas, he was one of the few people who had gotten past the walls I had built around myself, now would he take my heart or break it?
Legolas smiled, he sensed my thoughts; I could tell. "I have a confession to make," He said softly.
I raised an eyebrow; I was no fool. I knew where this was going, "Yeah?"
"I love you, too."
I laughed and grinned like an idiot. Then I threw my arms around Legolas and kissed him long and hard.
His arms snaked around my waist, when we parted he whispered in my ear, "Does this not feel so right?"
I nodded and rested my head against his chest; his chin perched atop my head.
And we stayed like that for a long time, until finally I asked him, "Why do you think we got stuck in the same room?"
Legolas, to my surprise, laughed heartily, "When we were entering the city and you were still asleep, Gandalf didn't want Grima to know who you really were so he said you were my wife.
"God bless Gandalf…" I murmered. I felt my eyelids beginning to get heavy; I snuggled deeper into Legolas' chest and fell asleep.
××Legolas' POV××
I smiled at Nicolette's sleeping form; I was still angry with myself for my ungentlemanly earlier. But I pushed those thoughts from my head and focused only on her. The steady rhythm of her breathing, the way the setting sun reflected off her coppery-brown hair, I listened closer was she saying something in her sleep? I listened for a few moments I heard:
"Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clickin,'
A temperamental glow,
How far will you take it?
Well no one knows.
Don't let me go.
I got a hold on you tonight.
Uh oh its magic,
When I'm with you,
Uh oh its magic,
Just a little magic,
You know it's true,
Got a hold on you,
Twisted, under sideways down,
I know you're getting twisted.
And you can't calm down.
I see you under the midnight,
Love darts in your eyes.
How far can you take it?
Till you realize?
There's magic in your eyes,
I got a hold on you,
Got a hold on you,
Got hold on you, tonight.
Uh oh its magic
When I'm with you
Uh oh its magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you…"
I grinned, more of her songs. Despite that one song she called "You Shook Me All Night Long," I enjoyed her singing. Her voice was deep and held a certain…melancholy too it. Or perhaps love is as deaf as it is blind.
Soon Nicolette began to feel heavy, I gently laid her down on the bed; she stirred slightly then rolled over.
Running my fingers through my hair, I collapsed into a chair and began to doze off when I heard a loud, thumping on the door.
Yawning, I stretched and rose, I opened the door as Gandalf and Aragorn burst through the door.
"Please, come in!" I said sarcastically.
Gandalf turned to me, "Legolas Thranduilion! I have not come here to bandy words with you! I discovered that Éowyn, thinking that Nicolette and you were bound, gave you one bedroom. Aragorn overhearing this insisted we come over here and make sure you weren't…"
Aragorn came to Gandalf's rescue, "Basically, my dear friend. We feared for your health when Nicolette discovered that we made you both pose as husband and wife." His weathered face cracked into a smile.
"Damn straight," We heard a certain young woman who was supposedly asleep mumble.
I could tell that Aragorn was trying very hard not to laugh, but Gandalf's face was a perfect picture of sternness.
Nicolette looked up and saw Gandalf's face; she gave him a wide-eyed, innocent look.
"Hmph!" Was all he said, and then he left in a flurry of his gray cloak.
Nicolette looked at me. "You think I offended him?" She asked earnestly.
I smiled inwardly; despite her outwardly tough appearance she cared for others deeply, and wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone.
"No, I don't think so. He's just a bit annoyed."
Aragorn laughed, "And he has a just cause! The woman speaks like a sailor!" He added quietly, "Dresses like one too…"
"Heard that."

A/N: Jesus! I think I broke some sort of a fan girl law by not making them officially get together until the fourteenth freaking chapter! I wonder if I will have to go before a jury of valley girls…Oh lord help me.
