**Author's Note: Hmm… well I'm not quite sure what to write about, or how to continue the story… I honestly don't want it to end just yet. So Well I'm just going to write and let the words flow… Hope it works out! **
They were both sitting in Bert's living room, side by side on the couch watching the fire burn. They hadn't spoken to each other for a while, both pensive about their actions.
Mary didn't know what could have happened that made her deserve these moments. Something inside her told her this wasn't what should be happening. In her mind, she had never thought of doing… this. She never imagined herself loving someone, being too close to someone, having affection and wanting affection. Was she being practically imperfect? Her mind couldn't bear not to doubt, and now she was left with sorrow. Of course she knew it would hurt Bert if she left all of a sudden after telling each other about their feelings. Does a prim and proper lady let herself kiss with passion and enjoy the bliss?
Bert on the other hand, had other thoughts. For example, was he pressing his advantage? Both of the kisses they had recently had, and the only kisses they had ever had were both commenced by Mary. Yet, was he still in a perspective pressing his advantage? While of course his eyes glistened with joy. Always, since the day he had met had he wished of these moments. But now he was doubting himself.
What exactly would happen to this couple? This couple that just a few moments ago, had shared their first kiss? The couple that incoherently, yet with meaning, shared their true feelings to one another. The same questions lay in their mind and hearts.
"Mary?"
"Bert?"
Bert chuckled and Mary smiled at the remark that they had spoken at the same time.
"You go first." She said politely while he insisted on her going first, they drabbled for a few moments and then an awkward silence fell between them.
"Bert, I believe, I should get going, and it's really getting late…" She got up the couch and walked over to the hat stand. Bert followed her and helped her get her coat on. She looked at him and smiled to him; she caressed his cheek and turned around to open the door. He beat her to the door knob and stopped her from opening it.
"Tomorrow? Will I see you tomorrow, Mary Poppins?" the only thing she felt compelled to do was smile at him and nod, "Of course, Bert." he then opened the door and let her out first. Unusual though, he stepped out of his flat as well. Mary looked at him confused.
"Being the blue blooded gentleman that you say I am, I couldn't allow myself to walk down the streets alone, at dark, could I?" He smiled at her and stood besides her allowing her to link arms with him, she cordially accepted.
"Oh, Bert, you really don't have to."
"Mary, I know I do." She looked over at him and smiled. They walked in complete silence towards Uncle Albert's house. They stood outside the house for a moment and she broke the silence.
"Goodnight, Bert." She kissed him on the cheek and turned around.
"Goodnight, Love." He whispered back at her, and was unsure she had even heard. Though he was unaware of the smile she had on her face as she walked over to knock on the door.
"Mary Poppins. Come in my dear please." Mary Poppins stepped into the cozy flat of her Uncle.
"Why, my dear, I didn't hear you come out! Where were you?" she looked at him and thought of something to say, but at the end found herself confessing the truth.
"Oh, I'm truly sorry Uncle Albert. I went out to get some air and found myself with Bert. Moreover, he invited me to his flat for a cup of tea and lost track of time…" he grabbed her hand and pat it.
He sighed and said, "Oh dear it's alright, really it is. Now, I think you should get some rest it truly is late don't you think?" she nodded and headed over towards the stairs. She stopped herself, though, and confessed EVERYTHING to Uncle Albert, she truly couldn't get this emotions of sorrow to herself any more.
