Chapter 14
Robb smiled lightly to himself as he exited his office. It was another day of work; the museum had drawn the usual groups of people. He listened in on their conversations as he passed, pleased that the museum was still drawing so many interested clientele.
As he walked he pondered on some of the recent things he had heard. After knowing about his sexuality for a long time, he and his family finally heard about Robin finding love, with Tommen Baratheon of all people. Each of his sibling's relationships were still going strong, particularly Arya and Gendry.
'Honestly, how close they are, a wedding would merely be a formality.' He thought amusedly. 'A way to make it official; they're practically already married, the way they carry on.'
He knew that right now Sansa and Podrick were likely on a study date. Unlike most on study dates however, they would be studying. The others were at school but Gendry and Meera were unlikely to be far from Arya and Bran's thoughts.
Robb shook his head. 'Knowing Arya she's more than likely to be secretly texting Gendry when the teacher's not looking.'
He sighed indulgently at the thought and just hoped that his little sister didn't get in trouble, again.
Then of course, there was his relationship; he stopped, smiling widely, as he stood outside the door. Peering in through the glass section of the door, he watched as Myrcella worked on teaching the children how to draw.
Like any true artist, she frequently tried to take in the world around her. But here, in a teaching environment, she was the most focused person Robb had ever seen. She was smiling, clearly enjoying her work, she was talking to one of the children, apparently pointing something out. The young boy nodded, all smiles.
Robb couldn't help but note. 'She enjoys her work, it helps her dreams…and she's really good with children.'
That last part suddenly made him nervous for some reason. He shook his head, to clear his thoughts and, catching Myrcella's eye, smiled and nodded. She returned his smile before they both returned to work.
'Seriously, what was I so worked up about?' He wondered. 'It's not as if…ah wait, now I see. Thinking about how good Myrcella was with the children; makes me wonder what she'd be like with a child of her own. Whoa, gotta slow down there.'
He quickly cleared his head of such thoughts; after all, he and Myrcella had even gone past kissing in their relationship yet. He shouldn't be thinking about that until much later, not until they had been together for some time and were sexually active.
Myrcella observed carefully as the children began putting the finishing touches to their drawings. She smiled, they had all done really well, and were such a delight to teach. All of them so eager, sometimes she had to reign them in.
However she did so gently, and with such subtly, that they didn't seem to notice, or even mind. Finally they finished and were all clamouring to show her their work. She indulged them gladly, offering praise, advice and even a few alternative ideas which they seemed to like.
It was shortly after all this that the parents arrived and the kids all said goodbye. They then left with their parents, all talking happily.
Myrcella sighed gently as she watched them go. 'They're so good; this is such an amazing job. Oh, things just keep getting better and better.'
She knew it was nearly time and she began to pack up the equipment. Just then there was a knock on the door and Robb stepped in.
"Hey." He greeted her with his usual smile.
She returned it and kissed him. "Hey, yourself."
Robb sat down in a nearby seat. "So, how was it?"
"It was fun, it's always fun." She replied, taking the seat next to him.
They sat talking for a while, then it happened. Myrcella wasn't sure how, somehow their conversation turned to artwork and drawing, the next thing she knew, she was showing Robb how to make the most out of any artwork. Frequently during this 'lesson' their hands touched and they shared knowing smiles.
Much later, as Robb drove her home, Myrcella was grinning. While they had enjoyed their impromptu lesson, it had, at least three times, been abandoned for a make out session. She wondered briefly about her future with Robb.
'I wonder, how long until we…' She blushed, just thinking about it. 'I wonder if I should, say something, not yet of course, some other time. But still; I'd really like to maybe take things a bit further.'
Unbeknownst to Myrcella, Robb was thinking about the same thing. 'I love her so much; even though we've not really gone that far. I just, I want to do this right; to treat her with the respect she deserves.'
They finally arrived at Myrcella's apartment and, at her invitation, Robb came inside and they sat together, having coffee. Wanting to distract himself from his currently awkward thoughts, Robb decided to ask Myrcella about what he had heard recently.
"So, I heard you and your mother have finally made up."
Myrcella brightened immediately and nodded. "Yeah, we did. I've…I've spoken to the rest of the family too; they're all happy for me."
Robb was pleased to hear this, glad that things had been mended between them. "I'm glad to hear it, it's good that things have finally been sorted out."
"I know." She said softly.
Finally, sometime later, they kissed goodbye and Robb headed for his car. They were both happy, having really settled into their relationship; but Robb knew he wanted to do things right, but first, he'd need to organize everything, so it would be perfect.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
