INU POV

He walked carefully down the stairs; his senses were heightened as he looked around him. He didn't sense anyone in particular. A couple of help but it wasn't anything alarming. He was actually on his toes searching the house for her scent. He woke up a little late, when she had left his room last night, he found it very hard to go back to sleep. She kept running through his head over and over again until sleep was almost impossible. He spent most of the night pacing around, at dawn he went jogging, he had come back around 2 and still he couldn't sleep. It wasn't only the image of her naked on top of him that had him on edge. It was also her thought process. The way she did things, she had changed a lot from the innocent girl that he remembered when he was younger.

He left the winding stairwell and headed into the dining room. He didn't have to walk fully in, he sensed her immediately. He paused and reconsidered eating breakfast; he could write a bit more, look up some offers, he decided that he really wasn't all that hungry. He let himself take a step back before deciding that he was being a bit ridiculous. Was he so afraid that it would be awkward that he was willing to miss a whole meal? He stepped forward slightly and her scent mingled with the saltiness of the ocean took over the room.

She sat at her end of the table, her knees were up, her plate sat on top of them as she picked pieces of a wrap apart. She put some into her mouth and he took a deep breath before bowing back out of the room. He paused for a fragment of a second before stepping out of the corner into the dining room.

As soon as he entered she looked up. She watched as he slowly made his way to the head of the table. She placed a small piece of mushroom into her mouth while she surveyed his form. He had a pair of dark jeans on and a blue buttoned shirt over it. He sat in his usual spot and looked down at his food before glancing up. He was slightly shocked to see her just openly staring. Her hair was damp and placed away from her face. She held no emotion on her perfect face, she just stared ahead. He picked up the fork beside the plate "hello…" He said quietly, she caught it though, but didn't reply.

She just casually continued to stare as she tore another piece of the veggie wrap. She placed it in the middle of her full lips and chewed slowly as she continued staring at him. He pushed a small piece of egg into his mouth as he used all his energy to not look up. He could feel her dark eyes staring at him, but he decided that he wouldn't respond to them. He told himself he'd just ignore it, but as he rose up to get his glass of juice he found it increasingly hard to just ignore her.

He looked up meeting her eyes. She didn't look away she kept her glance and he tried as well. "So…." He said as he let his eyes drift to the table, memories of last night drifted back to him, and he coughed slightly as his heart beat spiked and his blood heated. "Uh… what have you been up to all day?" He asked, she stared for awhile more before suddenly looking away. She set the plate down on to the table and grabbed hold of the glass near it. She placed it to her lips while staring forward, past him. He questioned if she knew normal people didn't act like this.

She picked a bit more at the wrap placing a small chunk of a pepper into her mouth. When she finished she placed her index finger into her mouth and glanced his way again. He found the small act a lot more arousing than it really should of. He felt himself grow even more uncomfortable, and though he didn't feel this way before, he actually felt as if he knew nothing about her. He watched her place the glass down and hug herself completely. He sat up and slowly drummed his finger on the other side of the table. "So…" he said but his voice didn't spike any emotion in her. "I was planning on taking a trip to the other side of the Island." He lied, at that she looked up and he gulped at the interest in her gorgeous blue eyes. She never seemed to care about anything, and though he had no interest in going to the other side of the Island, he actually felt obligated to go now. "I was wondering if you wanted to go?" He asked. She didn't say anything and he looked down at his plate… "Or not…"

"When…" She said suddenly, and he looked up at her. She stared his way, and he processed her words before glancing ahead for some sort of time indicator. It had to be around nine now.

"At any time, when do you want to go?" He asked, and she dropped her long legs to the floor. She rose slowly from her seat, and he took in what she had on. It was just an average grey oversized sweatshirt. She had no pants on and he knew under it she was naked.

"I have to get dressed…" She said before walking quietly out of the dining room. He watched her leave as he sat there for a moment. He let a few thoughts run through his head before rising up from his spot too. He had a lot of things to do if he was seriously going to drive to the other end of the island.

Kag POV

She buttoned up the black cardigan before pushing a hand into its pocket; there was a half pack of cigarettes in it and a lighter, the standard of most of her jackets and cardigans. She had on a long ombré dress, it ranged from white to grey and then black. It went far past her feet, it wasn't a choice that she debated on for too long, she picked the first thing she got a hold of in her bag. She turned around towards the door. She had her arms crossed as she walked down the hall into the lobby of the house.

The front door was wide open and the wind blew through widening the entrance. She stared at the beach out in front, she could see the wave's crash into the shore, it caused a small smile to light up her features and she let her thoughts drift a bit. She took a few steps out into the porch. The wind picked up again and played with her drying hair, some sand lifted up and she stepped down the stairs onto the boardwalk. She was going to head towards the shore when she heard the sound of an engine starting. She hesitated before turning towards the side of the house. She couldn't see anything so she began walking slowly through the sand. As she got closer to the other side of the house she could see more of the forest and a few tire marks in the sand. It wasn't long till she spotted several cars, they weren't conventionally parked, and they just lined up one after the other. In the far back she could make out an opening through the forest where all the cars traveled from, she walked farther up as the sand turned into hard rock. She wasn't wearing shoes, but she didn't seem to mind, as she walked the cars began looking newer, they were parked in an organized fashion, and they seemed as if they were for fashion more than use. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked around.

She walked further into the gravel, the sound of an engine revving sounded again and she paused while looking around. She couldn't tell which one of the cars the sound was coming from, and after awhile she gave up. She walked further down the makeshift parking lot looking around before pausing a few paces from a car with its hood up. She watched as the person at the other end stepped back from the dark red jeep, he closed the hood and walked towards the driver seat.

It was of course Inuyasha, and though she thought she should have let it be known she was there, she didn't. She watched as he turned the key in the ignition and allowed the car to start. It ran for a while before he shut it off. He knew she was there; there was no way of not knowing. The wind had picked up and every time it blew her scent whisked past him. He didn't turn to face her though, he waited to see if she'd do it, but he had a feeling that it might never happen.

He started the car again and shifted to reverse, she watched as the car backed up from its spot to face directly towards her. He stared at her as the wind blew her long hair every which way, her dress flew as well and he let an unnoticeable smile play at his lips. He shifted to drive and drove forward slowly until the car sat beside her, she didn't move at all, and he didn't exactly expect her to. "It's good you came back here, I don't have to come get you from the house." He said, she dropped her head slightly before turning to face the passenger side of the car.

He unlocked it quickly as she pulled the car door open again. She climbed in slowly sitting on her left leg and propping the right knee up and placing her chin on it. She wrapped her arms around the sitting leg and stared forward. He glanced over at her for a moment before backing up and turning the car around, he drove down the gravel road for awhile before getting to the opening of the forest. She remembered the opening from her childhood, when her dad was invited to the Takashi Island on vacation, early in the morning he'd wake her up and they'd hike to the waterfall. She remembered the springs that lined mountain tops, the house had changed since then of course. When she was younger she usually camped outside, but the old beach house had been remodeled into a mansion, it had enough rooms for everyone now.

The jeep slowly left the gravel and entered the forest. She turned towards her window as she looked around at the various trees and bushes; the ground was covered in mossy like grass and sand like dirt. She stared down as the jeep drove slowly onto what looked like a dirt trail. It began driving smoothly suddenly and she returned her view to the front. Inuyasha turned towards her, watching her expressionless profile. He searched his mind for something to say, but it was hard, in order to have a conversation he'd actually need to bring up a topic that would enact an actual response from her, and that was no easy task. He thought about the interest that lit her eyes when he asked if she wanted to go to the other side of the island. He decided he'd play off that, "Uh, so there's this waterfall…" He said she didn't move she kept staring ahead. "There are some springs too; we can stop by if you want to see them," He said she didn't say anything and he stared ahead for awhile before turning to face her slightly. "The biggest one is actually off on top of…"

"I know…" She said silently as she stared ahead. There was a slight fork in the road, one was leveled and the other branched off uphill. He drove towards the left where the land rose slightly. She recognized it but it didn't ignite the feelings that she thought it would, most things didn't.

"I keep forgetting you practically lived here." He joked it made her face him but she didn't comment on anything. He adjusted himself slightly, every time she looked his way he always felt a bit awkward. "It's probably because you've changed a lot." He mumbled silently. He automatically realized that was the wrong thing to say. "I mean you haven't changed that much…." He lied, "well you've changed but it's for the better, you've changed physically…. I mean personality wise I wouldn't know." He stuttered. "We all actually change, who doesn't change, I've changed…."

He mentally slapped himself while taking a small glimpse her way. She had rotated herself towards the open window of the jeep. He could see a cigarette on the tips of her fingers. He hadn't noticed the smell till now and he sighed slightly. She had half of her body out of the jeep almost as if she wanted at that point to leave. He felt as if he should explain but he decided that would just make it worse. As they drove up the mountain top a shallow building could be seen far away, he decided he'd just change the topic. "That's Where the…" as he spoke he paused, he remembered instantly what she said last night…

"Don't tell me you don't have sex with all the maids around here. Why else would they be wearing those slutty little outfits, so what...? I wanted to have sex. I went for it. I would have had sex with one of them, but I don't know where they stay. It's just sex."

As soon as he thought back to that he shut his mouth. He didn't want to have to tell her where they stayed, though she probably knew herself. He clenched his jaw and she turned to face him, noticing it automatically. She knew exactly what he was thinking, she knew what he thought of her, she wasn't dumb. He stared out at the building, and she knew that was where the help stayed. She had sensed how tense he was since breakfast this morning, she was hoping he wasn't using this trip as a chance to talk, because if he was, then she rather walk back to the beach than sit there and hear him preach.

She always hated Inuyasha, when she was younger he had thought he was better than her, he teased her, made her feel horrible, and now that he had had his break down and was seemingly better. He thought he was even more perfect; she liked it better when he was bitter and hated everyone. He slowed down as the sound of rushing water started surrounding them. She flicked her cigarette out as she looked to her left. He quickly turned away telling her he was in fact staring at her. She rolled her eyes and looked away. It was rare for her to actually exude that sort of emotion. She only had two types, one was boredom, the other was none. All the other expressions she kept to herself, and she let them run through her thoughts, rolling her eyes was a sign of annoyance, and if her grandmother would of saw it she would of actually been a bit pleased.

He stopped suddenly and undid his seat belt. She was looking away from him into the forest on the other side. "I can't drive any further we'd be off the cliff." He said and she looked down at her lap before dropping her legs. She didn't say thanks, she just opened the car door and stepped out of the jeep. She stood on hard yet a spongy material and she recognized it to be the mountain top, the sponge being the moss. She hugged herself and walked around the car towards the mountain edge. She could see the waterfall pouring harshly into the river bellow it; she stepped even closer as Inuyasha turned slightly to watch her. She walked to the very edge and looked down; under her was the rushing river with the soft sand running against each side of it. The view took her breath away and made her heart beat increase as her eyes tried to take in the scene. "It's gorgeous right?" He asked, she didn't face him she just stared downwards for awhile, she could feel her heart become heavy and her eyes gloss. She remembered instantly the times she hiked up here, she remembered going with her father, her brother, the emotion she wanted the trip to ignite happened so quickly that it overwhelmed her.

He could smell the saltiness of tears automatically, and as she stepped back she looked away from him. She stared forward and walked away slowly. He didn't follow her, he wanted to but he didn't, instead he walked to the edge and lowered himself, sitting down and letting his legs dangle off the top.

He sat there for awhile toying with his cell phone before rising up and walking towards the jeep. He thought about waiting for her in there, but he was a bit curious, what was she doing? He had to admit he had a lot of questions; she spiked a lot of different thoughts in his head. Why had she been crying earlier? What thoughts were going through her head? What emotional state was she in really, was she depressed, crazy, or was she suicidal? What caused her to get like this? He took a step back from the car and walked forward. The mountain took off on a series of lower rocky steps, as he walked he could see something black and cloth like on the ground. He walked towards it, noticing that it was her jacket. He crossed his eye brows before picking it up and going forward.

At the far end was a rising smog of steam, he knew that was the spring so he didn't think anything of it. He couldn't exactly sense her; he decided that she had to be near the spring. He couldn't get a feel of anyone or anything when there was a rain storm or any sort of liquid barrier. He walked forward spotting something else along the side of the path. He turned towards it and he noticed immediately that it was her dress. He lifted an eyebrow before increasing his walking speed. When he got there he saw both her bra and underwear sitting on the edge. He stepped a few paces forward letting the steam engulf him.

He stared forward spotting her immediately. "So…you defiantly have a knack for getting naked." He said as he took her form in. She was lounging in the stream, her head laid back and her eyes closed. She moved immediately when she heard him and she moved up to face him. She looked at him for awhile before mentally rolling her eyes and leaning her head back again. He watched her for awhile before slowly walking closer to her. She sensed the movement immediately and she sat up exposing her bare breast. She rose up and turned to face him before lifting herself onto the ground. She was completely nude and he could feel his heart beat quicken and his body heat up.

He took her cardigan off of his shoulder and placed it down to her eye level. "Luckily I have this right." He said making her turn towards him. He smiled slightly and she let her eyes take in his overly handsome face. The last time she saw him pull off that sickeningly charming face was in one of his ridiculous horrid movies. She hadn't seen him pull it off in reality since she was younger; she wasn't exactly melting like every other girl. She was actually partially surprise that he'd be throwing the look her way, especially since last night, when he had denied her. Something that no man had ever done. It made her feel like she wasn't Inuyasha worthy, something she never was. But she had personally learned that it didn't matter when it came to sex.

He walked around to her; she move or rise from her spot. She just sat there crossing her arms. She looked forward when he finally approached her. She didn't know exactly what she expected; maybe he'd kiss her on the neck. Maybe he'd lay her down, what she didn't expect was for him to just place her cardigan on her shoulder and stand up again. She slipped her arms into the sleeves and turned to face him. He could see the surprise in her eyes, he didn't know why they were there, but he noticed them.

"I thought we should start driving now, if we wait we'll get their really late…" He said, he was going to continue but his words were cut off when he took in the uncharacteristically gorgeous smile that took over her endearing features. She rose up from her spot and turned to face him. His mouth parted slightly as he let his eyes lower down to her body. The cardigan was only partly on, he could see her breast, her flat stomach. He could make out her shape, the small of her waist. She crossed her arms, but not to block his view, just by force of habit. Her smile never faltered as she stepped closer to him.

"Or…we can just wait, and get back late." She said cheekily and he was actually taken aback; the fact that she could form a completely normal sentence that wasn't lined with anger or sarcasm. He did notice that when she wanted something she was good at that. He stared as she closed the small distance between them. His stomach started doing flips and the same emotion from last night came back stronger and with vengeance. He'd have a very hard time fighting her off this time. He sort of just stared down at her as she grabbed hold of his arms. He allowed her to; she looked up at him as she placed both his arms around the small of her back.

He tightened them as she began to place her damp hands under his shirt. He could feel himself lower down towards her. His body began to shiver slightly as her cold flesh touched his. She rubbed her hands over his toned stomach before slipping them out and beginning to unbutton his shirt. Her lips trailed down his neck and he froze, all his thoughts ceased and he let his own hands slip under the cardigan. He touched her bare skin as her lips crashed into his. She left his shirt alone and slipped her arms around his neck as he lifted himself and her up as well. She had to stand on her tippy toes on the edge of his shoes. He could feel the passion in her kiss, but he could also tell the passion wasn't for him exactly. She had other things rattling through her head; he was willing to guess that whatever she had been crying about earlier was hiding in the kiss.

When her lips dropped from his she backed up and returned to unbuttoning his shirt. He looked away from her to the scenery of the forest tops ahead. He could feel her drop the last few buttons of his shirt, she moved from his shirt to the belt of his pants. He felt his stomach heat up with desire, his groin ache, but he also had a very uneasy feeling. He felt as if he might be doing a disfavor on her part if he did this. He placed his hands on her shoulders and he backed her up. "I'm not doing this." He said softly.

She stared up at him, the look of her face almost made him reconsider but he didn't. "I'm probably the last person you'll ever hear saying this, but can we slow this down?" He asked she didn't reply she just lowered her arms and turned away from him. He watched her walk away; he could see her arms moving to button up the cardigan she wore. "Kagome…" He called out but she ignored him as she walked quickly away. "Kagome, can we talk…please."

He followed after her as she passed by her various articles of clothing, up the mounted stairs. She realized he was following her and she paused slightly. "I have nothing to say…." She announced he stopped himself.

"Well can you listen than?" He asked, she didn't seem bought. She kept on walking. He watched her form, the cardigan stopped at the very top of her thighs, and she hunched over while crossing her arms, as if she was a bit cold. She walked quickly past her dress and up the trail. "Why are you acting like this?" He asked, she didn't say anything, she just kept on walking. "Why can't you just hear me out for five seconds…?"

"Because I'm not interested in anything you have to say." She said. She took a deep breath as she heard his footsteps stop.

"All this animosity because I wouldn't have sex with you?" He asked and as soon as he said that he wished he could take it back. She tensed up, her back went straight and she stood in her spot. "I mean, it's not like I didn't think about it. I've considered doing it… you make it really hard, you really do, but I can't…" He ran a hand through his face trying to think of something else to say. Something to soften the blow..."I mean I look at you, and your gorgeous," he admitted. "You look nothing like you use to, you look nothing like I thought you would." Her shoulders slumped suddenly and she slowly turned to face him. She could see the complexities in his face. "I mean look at you, you know you're gorgeous." He said as she just stared at him. "But sex to me doesn't mean the same thing as it does to you." He said "And I just…I don't understand why you sale yourself short." He cursed mentally when he said that, he didn't mean that either. He looked away from her at that as she stared directly at him.

He tried searching for something to say, something to make things less awkward, but he couldn't. "What changed?" She asked suddenly out of nowhere. He faced her again; she had both her eyebrows raised as she stared his way. At first he thought that she was asking what had changed that made her so gorgeous to him now, but he could tell she was being sarcastic by the way she stood. "What changed that made you see things differently? Please tell me Inuyasha, cause as you can see, I'm just a whore who sales herself short?"

"I didn't mean it like that." He said and she shook her head as a sadistic grin took over her face.

"No I want to know? What's so damn different, what makes me gorgeous, what makes you so perfect, because not that long ago you'd fuck anything with a pulse. Not that long ago I was that hideous normal girl that you'd never look twice at…I want to know what's so damn special about this Island that you've actually changed your ways." he looked away as she waited for an answer. She waited for an actual answer and all he could do was stare at her.

"I didn't mean it that way…." He mumbled. "I don't think I'm perfect." She took a deep breath before rolling her eyes. "But you'd have to be crazy Kagome to think that you haven't changed, that I haven't changed."

"No you haven't changed, you're the exact same, back then you stuck your nose up at people, put them down, thought you were better, now you're the exact same way, but instead your into playing perfect." He stared at her not knowing what to say. "And yes I've changed," she announced and he smelt the saltiness of tears again. They didn't surface, they only glossed her eyes over, he had a feeling that she didn't cry very often. "My dad's dead, my parents are gone, sorry if that changed me a little…before he left he didn't leave me an island where I can hide out to solve all my problems." She said before looking away from him.

He stared at her before taking a couple steps forward, she backed up and he looked to the ground. "I'm sorry, I really am, but that doesn't mean you have to sell yourself short…I just meant that you're so much better than this. You don't have to have sex with just anyone, you can find someone you like, and I know you hate me, but…"

"I find that hard to believe coming from you." She said and he sighed. "Listen you might not know this, but life isn't just black and white… it's not as great as you think it is. What I chose to do with my life is my choice." She shrugged while cleaning off her dry cheeks. No tears had fallen; he imagined that was the norm with her. No tears ever left the surface. She stood there for a moment before turning away from him. She continued marching up the mountain top. He followed slowly behind her and in the middle of her walk; she turned back around to face him. "I don't need you to ever feel bad for me." She warned. "Ever…" he didn't say anything and she turned back around walking further up. She approached the jeep, but instead of going in she walked past it, he blew out air in frustration.

"Come on Kagome… we can go back to the house, you don't have to walk back." He told her as he unlocked the jeeps door and sat in it. "I won't ever bring it up again… you do what you want, I get it." He said as she rounded the corner into the forest. He sat down and pulled on his seat belt before backing the car up quickly and turning it around. He drove slowly out into the forest. It didn't take him long to catch up with her. She was hugging herself and walking quickly down the path. "You're not wearing anything; you don't have shoes on… get back in the car." She didn't say anything she just continued stalking forward. He slowed the jeep up as he drove side by side with her. "You know I get it…" he said, that didn't ignite any emotion in her. "I'll let you fuck whoever and whatever you want… I'm sorry." He told her but she didn't seem to care.

"I just….I hate that you still think of me…you know the way you do." He said, she didn't say anything so he continued on. "I'm sorry for the things I did to you back then, but I'm not the same person anymore. And you only think I'm the same because you're thinking in terms…."

"What are you going to gain by this?" She asked suddenly. "Do you want to get me in bed on your terms, because if not I don't understand why you're wasting your time."

"Well it's not that Kagome, not everything revolves around sex…." He said while stepping on the brake. "I just don't like you thinking the worst of me. I was a lot younger then, doing something I didn't like."

"You don't know anything about doing something you don't like." She mumbled. He didn't know what that meant so he decided to continue on.

"I never really wanted to be an actor." He admitted, and though she didn't show it, that sort of peaked her interest. "I sort of did it because I thought it was what I was supposed to do. And I kind of took out some of my anger on a lot of people, especially you because…well everyone thought you were so special and I thought, hey, she can take it." He admitted.

"I don't care," She said while continuing her walk. He stared at her as she passed the jeep. He began to feel the frustration soak in and he pulled the key out of the ignition before pulling off his seat belt and opening the car door. He quickened his walk catching up to her quickly; he didn't know why he felt compelled to this. He knew he'd question it later, but without much thought he whisked her up from the ground. She was extremely light and though she struggled all he had to do was set her on his shoulders.

"Okay so I get it, you hate me, but if you walk from here back to the beach it'll be late and it's extremely easy to lose the trail at night and theirs all types of animals…" He said while going back to the car and setting her on the passenger seat. He slipped back into the front seat and started the car up again. She organized herself as he pulled out. She stared out her window away from him as much as possible. He didn't say anything; there was nothing to say to her. Nothing he'd ever say would mean anything to her.

Dinner

(Inu POV)

He looked down at the script synopsis for awhile before pausing as someone entered the dining room. It wasn't her; he hadn't seen her all day. It was one of the help and she smiled his way while setting a plate beside him. "Thank you…" He said as she nodded and turned back around. In her right hand was another plate but she hesitated to put it on the table.

"Is she eating?" She asked and he looked up at her spot before shrugging. The woman looked back at the empty place for awhile before shrugging herself. He let her leave before feeling uneasy all of a sudden.

"Wait…" He said and she paused before coming back into the room. "Leave her food here and go look for her." He said. The woman nodded and left as he went back to over reading a simple paragraph. He didn't put the paper down till he sensed her come into the room. She smelled like herself, and when she entered, she entered dry. Her long hair was in a lose ponytail cascading down her back. She wore a short black tank top that seemed a size too small and stopped at the small of her waist, but failed to cover up her naval. She had on a long black skirt as well that fell down to her feet.

He was actually shocked by her appearance, she seemed so fresh faced and actually approachable. She walked past him slowly before taking a seat at her spot. "Hi…" He said, she didn't say anything; she took her seat and looked down at the food. "You look…good." He said. She threw him a look, it was a subtle look that didn't show any sort of emotion, but it left him wondering what it meant. "I told the cook last night you were a vegetarian so I don't think you'll have to worry about anything." She picked up a steamed carrot and placed it in the corner of her mouth while looking up at him. She carried no expression on her gorgeous face, she just stared while eating.

"So what have you been up to all day?" He asked, she didn't answer, she just stared and he sighed while picking up his own fork. "You know, it confuses me when you do that." He admitted for the first time. "You know when you just stare at me? Do you want something?" He asked.

She didn't answer she just continued staring and he sighed. He picked up his fork and placed another fragment of food into it. When he looked up again she was still staring. He narrowed his eyes faintly and she smiled sadistically slightly at his discomfort. She didn't think he noticed but he did and it had him smiling a bit as well. She placed more food in her mouth and he stared at her silently waiting for her to notice.

She didn't right away but when she did she sort of paused and stared back. None of them said anything and she looked down at her plate suddenly. "You see how it feels…" He said. She didn't reply she just ate a bit more before sitting back in her seat. Her legs were crossed but he couldn't see much, her skirt was so long. He looked up at her and when she felt she had his attention she spoke. "Why did you change the beach house?" She asked. He raised both his eye brows. He was taken aback at the question, it came out of nowhere, and it was sort of unexpected. It didn't hold the hostility she had from earlier today.

He shrugged…"I didn't change it, my father did." She nodded while looking around the dining room like it was the first time she set foot in it. She grabbed the glass from the side of her plate and put it to her lips.

"I liked it better before…" She stated and he just stared at her as she continued eating.

He smiled slightly…"I like it better before too…" He agreed and she nodded as if that was plausible. None of them said anything for the rest of the meal.

Happy ending of a chapter I think. Sorry for the wait, my lap top broke and I had to write this chapter over again. Sorry… I'm also working on another story, a new one, I've written a few chapters of it, but I'm not letting it out till after Christmas along with Indebted, the sequel to You Owe Me. I might actually let out Indebted around Christmas time.
