Oh I so want to go in there that dress is georgious." She sighed. The dress that had caught her eye was a deep Emerald green with white billowing sleeves and intricate embrodiary in the bodice. Philicia sighed again and started moving on .Just then Thorin grabbed her arm " Did you not want to go in here"?Thorin asked ." I do but well you know I don't think they would accept good old american cash. " She pulled out a twenty dollar bill and showed it to Thorin."Here Take this ." He said handing Philicia five gold coins ." This should cover anything that you need". Thorin and his nephews waited outside for her as she went in the shop. "Good morning miss what can I do for you "? The shop keeper asked her."That green dress may I try it on please "! Philicia waited as the lady took the dress off the manniquin and handed it to her . "You can change in there" She pointed to a curtained alcove near the back of the shop. Philicia came out a few minutes later with the dress on it was a perfect fit . She paid the shopkeeper and was extatic about having been able to buy the beautiful dress. "You will have to show us later Lady Philicia" KIli mouthed earning a scowl from his uncle. They went in another shop where Thorin and his nephews purchases more clothing for the road .Warm breeches a few extra cloakes and underclothing. An extra pair of boots was added for each of them as the pile got bigger and bigger. Finally satisfied they paid the store keeper and left their purchased slung over their backs. After a while they met up with the rest of the company and all agreed to meet at The Green Dragon for lunch at mid day. Philicia went on a few more shops till it was time to meet up with the others." I am starving ." She said smelling something good from close by. "Let us go everyone is more than likely waiting ." Thorin said taking Pilicias hand as they walked into the pub. They spotted the rest of the group at a corner table already eating and mugs of ale being drank. They were laughing at something Bombar had said as Thorin approached. Could you not wait for us" He addressed his company." Well laddie we were quite hungry besides we were not sure how long you would be with the lass and all." Balin always the diplomat motioned for the waitress for more ale. "What do they have on the menu?" Philicia asked taking a chair next to Thorin. "There is a good Mutton Stew ". Nori said taking a bite from his bowl. " They don't have Cheeseburgers and Fries here " She asked?" scanning the menu again. "My dear may I ask what are Cheeseburgers"? Dwalin asked giving her a strange look. Philicia looked at Oakenshield acceptance and nodding his head she began" Well where to start. First of all you take ground beef thats cow meat, then it is shaped into patties fried till cooked then it is placed between two buns of bread topped with cheese , lettuce tomatos pickles onions, mustard or catsup or what ever is preferred. then you well , you eat it. "All the dwarves started with questions all at once ."OK, OK I'm geting there" she said holding her hands up. "And these French Fries how are they done" Bombar asked. " Well you take potatos peel them cut them into long strips fry them in oil till golden brown sprinkle with seasoning salt smother them in catsup and enjoy." Philicia earned hoots and cheeres from the dwarves and only after agreeing to cook supper that evening did they let her eat the stew she had ordered. After a while The group left and split into the same groups as before agreeing to be back at Bilbos house by the five o-clock hour. " If I am going to cook dinner I am going to find a grocery store of some sort." After asking around they found a open market and Philicia purchased the things needed for tonights dinnner. "Fili,KIli you both take these back to the Hobbits house stay there I will be there shortly." Their Uncle told them." And stay out of trouble". With that Thorin took Philicias hand as they walked twords the hill overlooking the lake. They sat down on the soft grass , Philicia sitting between Thorins outstretched limbs. " What are you thinking"? he asked her planting featherlight kisses on her exposed neck. "I was just thinking how peaceful it is here. No sirens from firetrucks ,police cars ,ambulances no city noises. Just quiet I don't have to listen to anyones annoying cell phone ringing, oh I could stay here forever." Thorin pulled her closer, before she could take her next breath he turned her in his arms placing his huge hands on her head pulled her lips to his. The contact was like lightening and shivers ran up her back chasing the path Thorins hand was taking. The kiss took her breath away as his mouth moved over hers nipping and playfully tugging at her bottom lip. She tangled her hands in is hair grabbing his beads between her fingers. Thorin wanting to be closer pulled Philicia onto his lap till both her legs were straddeling his he bit her lip and she gasped opening for him as his tounge intertwined with hers. "Philicia "Thorin moaned as he continued to devour her mouth. She returned a moan of her own as his hand found its way under her shirt touching her softness for the first time. "Tell me you want this as much as I do"? He panted burying his face in her shirt front. Thorin laid her down on the soft grass and planted kisses all over her face,up and down her neck and back to her swollen lips. " I don't know, the thought scares me". She said returning his kiss. "You deserve so much better than me you are a king and I am just a girl from, nowhere" Philicias eyes teared up she was certain what Thorin wanted to tell her " He did not take his eyes off hers the emotions pouring out."Philicia do you love me truly please azyungal I need to know." Thorins eyes bore into hers and in them she saw all the love he felt for her but was to afraid to voice aloud."Oh you gotta know it Thorin ,yes I do, I always have , I meant it then and I mean it now. What does azyungal mean'? she held her breath. Thorin traced her cheekbone with the pad of his thumb" It means my love or my lover whitch ever applies." She went still as he let his heart show" Philicia I love you " He expelled the breath from his lungs waiting for her responce. "Thorin" She cried her arms closing around him pulling his mouth to hers once again. Now that they had admitted their fellings to eachother their growing relationship took on new meaning.
