Dalla slept in the manor that night and in the morning Robin would find her a house.
"So who are these two people you want me to see?" Dalla asked Robin as they ate breakfast.
"Wait and see, you'll find out when we've finished breakfast." Replied Robin.
"Well I'm finished, now please can you tell me?"
"Very well" Robin stood up and walked towards the door "come." He beckoned Dalla "See that house there," Robin said pointing to one of the cottages in Locksley
"Yes" Dalla replied eagerly.
"Go and knock on the door and ask for the man of the house." Instructed Robin
"Ok then, thank you robin, you have been so kind to me." Dalla said as she gave him a big hug. Then she picked up her armour and other luggage and headed towards the house.
Dalla sheepishly approached the cottage not knowing what awaited her. As she knocked on the door a heavily pregnant dark skinned woman appeared in the doorway.
"Can I help you?" She asked
"Err...Yes I'm looking for the man of the house please" Dalla replied.
"Will" the woman shouted into the house
"What" came a sleepy reply as a half awake man with dark hair and green eyes appeared next to the woman. Then he suddenly woke up fully as he noticed the teenager on his doorstep. "Dalla!" He said astonished as he pulled her into a warm embrace.
"Will" Dalla replied equally surprised.
"Luke and I have been wondering what happened to you." He said as he let her go "Oh Djaq this is Dalla her father was a great friend of my Father and Dalla this is Djaq my wife."
"Hello nice to meet you" Dalla addressed Djaq "I often wondered weather Will would marry a girl, He's so quiet but he is sweet and I wish good luck to you both..."
"Dalla do you want to see Luke?" Will interrupted before Dalla started on a full blown rant about something completely irrelevant which she tended to do.
"Yes please where is he?" she answered eagerly
"Over in that cottage there" Will said as Dalla ran as fast as her legs would carry her. How she missed Luke her childhood sweet heart it had torn her heart in two when her mother decided to leave. She still loved Luke with a passion and hoped he still felt the same.
She knocked on the door not knowing what to expect then she felt a tinge of worry. What if Luke had a dark skinned woman? What about if he hated her for leaving? However all her fears went away when the door opened and Luke cupped her face and kissed her passionately not stopping to consider whether she may have a new man. Although this was certainly not the case because as soon as they break apart Dalla pulls Luke close and whispers in his ear "I love you" as she presses a soft kiss on his cheek.
"And I you" Luke replied
So that's chapter two done. I still promise there will be some more exiting bits to come.
