Starfire had waken up in a hurry, Nina had come to wake her, saying Richard was downstairs waiting for her. She quickly dressed and put her hair up, she didn't want to keep Richard waiting too long especially if he was down there with Blackfire. When he had said he would come for her the next day she did not know he would come so soon but he did and in a way she was glad he was so eager to see her.

As she walked down the stairway she saw him rise to his feet and take off his top hat, he was very handsome today.

"Good morning Starfire." He bowed to her as she reached the last of the stairs.

"Good morning Richard." She bowed back and slipped her arm through his as they walked out of the mansion. Totally oblivious to the fact that Blackfire was standing right there.

He smiled at her as he helped her into the carriage and they rode away.

"Where are we going?" She asked once they were settled in.

"To where I live."

"Oh." She blushed, she hadn't expected for him to take her into his own home yet.

Richard took notice of her face "Don't worry we'll only be there for a minute, I just want you to see where I live."

"Alright." She smiled softly not wanting Richard to know she was a little uncomfortable.

"We're here." He said after minutes of viewing the many simple sites of Puebla as if they were tourists visiting for the very first time.

He reached over for the door handle and pulled it, she watched and waited for his hand to be extended back in, when it was she took it and stepped her way out of the carriage landing gently on the ground. She noticed instantly that his home was more unique than hers.

They knocked and one of the servants opened the door right away. She marveled at the peculiar shape of the house, it was square. It had two stories and about ten or twelve rooms, the middle of the entire house was completely hollow, not even a roof to shade the area in which a couple of chairs and benches were settled, it looked like a patio. As she tried to take everything in Richard made sure everyone knew Starfire was going to be the new lady of the house, and all the servants agreed to care for her as they cared for him and Gar.

He walked over to Stafire and placed his hands on her shoulders, "This is all yours." He whispered.

She didn't know what to say so she didn't say anything.

"And there's more but I'll let you see that later."

"Is this where we're going to live?" She found her voice.

"Yes, I'd rather you live here close to friends and family then take you all the way to my ranch."

Starfire smiled and leaned her head on her shoulder near his hand, he was so good to her.

"But sometimes I'll have to leave you for a while to take care of the ranch."

"Mhmm." She nuzzled at his hand.

Richard laughed at her nuzzling, it tickled him. He slid his hand under her chin and pointed her face towards his and planted a soft warm kiss on her delicate lips. Starfire blushed and after the kiss she turned away.

"There's no need to be shy."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry." He gently scolded. "We're going to be married soon and I just want you to be comfortable around me."

"I am."

"Not as comfortable as I want to be." He grinned slyly and Starfire was shocked at his bold incinuation.

One of the servants called to Richard. "Feel free to look around." He yelled back at her as he left.

At first she sat on the benches waiting for him to come back, he could have been back in a matter of minutes. But after about fifteen minutes of waiting she decided to get up and explore.

She walked up the stairway on the right to the top floor, she was afraid of heights but it felt good to feel the wind blow around her. The rooms at the top were nothing special mostly guest rooms and some were for the servants. When she went back down to the bottom she walked over and started on the left. The first room was the kitchen then it was the library, the study, the lounging room, then it was another room but it wasn't empty and she could tell someone lived in it because it was very messy. The servants wouldn't be allowed to keep a room this untidy, she left it and the last room she saw was Richard's she knew it was his when she first entered the room.

His aroma lifted into the air and into her as she took it in, she walked further into the room. Nearly the whole room was made of red and gold and it went nice with Richard's character. She walked over to the bed and felt the sheets, they were so soft and smelled of him too. She stretched herself on top of his bed, the spongy mattress molded into her form. It was like floating on fluffy clouds, and for a second she imagined what it would be like to feel his touch.

Would she like it? Or would it hurt everytime? Maybe if she wasn't ready, he would wait. Of course he would wait, if he loved her than he wouldn't do anything to harm her. She rolled over to her stomach and leaned on her elbows while her head rested in her cupped hands.

Without her noticing, the door slightly opened behind her and a figure crept up next to her. The figure made its way towards her and rested itself lightly on top of her.

She let out a gasp as she felt something breathing at the back of her ear then she heard a chuckle. "Don't worry, it's only me." It was Richard and she was so relieved to hear his voice.

"Sorry it took so long." He apologized sincerely.

"What happened?" She questioned still a little out of it, he had appeared so suddenly.

"I'll tell you later." He replied.

He turned her on her back and looked down at her with the most beautiful deep blue eyes she had ever seen. They were so vibrant, it was a waste that she had never noticed them until now.

He looked back at her and noticed the same green eyes he had fallen in love with the very first day, emerald green orbs filled to the edge with green that had yet to see what real happiness could be and right now, staring down at her the way he was right now, he solemnly promised to make her his in body, mind and in any other way possible.

He leaned in towards her and kissed her bare neck, like a rush of blood that ignited his veins with fiery passion he couldn't fight the urge and kept going, nibbling at her ears while she gigled and licking at her lips while she found herself biting back. Richard slowly pushed his tongue in and out of her mouth and she liked it. Richard was a very passionate man and Starfire found herself wanting to experience that passion with him but not now.

She gently pulled his face away with her hands and Richard rolled off her, understanding. They lay there catching their breathes until Richard had enough to speak.

"Now that's what I call comfortable." He smiled and she smiled too while scooting over to him and laying her head against his chest.

Over the next couple of weeks Starfire and Richard had become closer, spending more time with each other and planning the perfect wedding. Of course most of the guests would attend only to see the single Grayson get hitched but that didn't matter as long as they had most of their friends there too they would be fine and enjoy the wedding.

One day when they were riding along back to Starfire's house in Richard's carriage coming back from handing out the last of the expensively decorated invitations Richard brought up an old conversation.

"Uhh Starfire?" He asked.

"Hmm?" She turned her attention from outside the window where she was watching the different houses speed by, to him.

"Do you remember the first time I took you to see my-, well our future home?"

"Yes."

"Well that day I got this telegram and it said I have to be at my ranch, there's some sort of legal document or something I have to deal with."

"What?" She didn't understand.

"I didn't tell you before because I thought this could be sorted out without me being there but yesterday I got another telegram and I have to leave."

"When?"

"As soon as possible."

"But Richard there's only five days left until our wedding." She started to panic.

"I know Starfire, I know but I'll be back in time I promise."

A frown was placed upon Starfire's brow when the carriage slowly came to a halt outside her mansion and she got off hesitantly. He got off after her and walked up to the front door with her in silence. Before she went in Richard couldn't let her go like this, she was still worried and he could feel that she somehow didn't believe he would be back in time.

"Starfire." He called as she made her way through the door, she stopped.

"I'll come back and we'll finally be married, okay?"

From behind she merely nodded but in front the tears were pouring down her cheeks with no stopping them. Richard turned around and slowly started to walk back. He heard the click of the door and sighed, this was their goodbye? No, he couldn't leave her like this.

He turned around and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Starfire was right in front of him. Tear stained face and looking straight at him.

"Starf-"

"Promise me." She cut him off. "Promise me you'll come back, promise me you won't forget me."

Richard stood there standing listening intently as she kept going.

"Promise me you won't leave me, just promise me you won't break my heart." She whispered the end, more tears didn't wait for her to finish her sentence and her knees gave out.

Richard was there to catch her and she stayed there in his hands giving no objection. She was crying and Richard couldn't stand her tears, he pulled out his custom made hankerchief with his initials on it. Beast Boy had advised him to always carry one around when he dragged him shopping that one day and he had been right, what were the odds of that?

He dabbed at her tears and she blew her nose a couple of times while he smiled at how childish her nose sounded when she blew. While she tried to find consoling he tried to think of the right things to say to her.

He looked down at her, she was beautiful and he didn't know how he had grown to love her as much as he did. He didn't think it was possible, all his life he had looked out only for himself and never cared for anyone else. Even the women he had been with before were insignificant to him when he was with them.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked.

"Starfire, I would never even think of hurting you." It came out so easily, probably because he really meant it.

Starfire felt embarrassed she had let her feelings get the best of her in front of the man she would marry and let him see the weak side of her. She tried to cover her face with her hands but Richard stopped her with his own.

"You don't have to hide from me." He said.

"I'm sorry this happened. I just-"

"It's okay." He was actually happy that Starfire could be so open with him, although he still didn't feel like he could be open with her.

"Right here." Richard spoke and helped Starfire to her feet. "I want to promise you that I will never do anything to harm you Starfire." He kneeled in front of her like he was proposing.

"Physically or mentally, never."

She giggled and bowed. "I accept your promise." She said cordially.

Richard laughed at her playfullness. This is the way he wanted to remember his Starfire, happy and always willing to make him laugh.

He stood up and scooped her in his arms bridal style spinning her round and round while she laughed out loud. "I'm going to miss you so much." He nuzzled at her neck.

"Mmmm" She enjoyed his touch and rubbed back at him with her cheek. He let her down and embraced her lips with his own, he pulled her in close and wished he could never let go. He slowly pulled away and then came back taking a soft, slow, bite from her bottom lip. Then he ran for the carriage before he could regret it while waving goodbye to his soon to be wife.

She waved back, knowing this was the last time she would see him until their wedding.

With Speedy and Kip...

Back in the cell they were before, they weren't allowed to leave it even if it were to get some sun. Speedy was tired of waiting and impatient to get back to his Starfire.

"When are we leaving?" An agitated Speedy asked his so called healer.

"Soon, your leg is almost healed." Kip said examining his leg one more time.

"We should have left by now."

"Well it's not my fault you keep getting up to practice your walking."

Speedy didn't answer his friend there was no point in arguing right now he had to get it through to his friend that this was important.

"We're leaving tomorrow." He told his friend.

"What! Are you crazy? Everything's not ready yet." Kip tried to whisper without the guards hearing.

"Well you have all of tonight. Besides, it'll take days for us to get there."

Kip sighed angrily.

"You know I have to get out of here Kip." Speedy told him trying to sound convincing and he did.

"Yeah okay." He responded. "Since this is really important to you I'll get going."

Speedy heard scrambling around, it was probably Kip trying to get loose from the cell. He was used to that sound, so many nights had Kip snuck out to get the herbs Speedy's leg needed. He was a true friend to him and that was a big part of Kip coming with him, he needed someone like that next to him.

"Just a little longer Starfire." He whispered outloud hoping his voice would wander the earth and reach his eternal love.

"Just a little longer." He fell asleep whispering the same words over and over again.

With Richard...

It was night time and after a good shower Richard found himself ready for bed and the early trip he would need to take in the early morning. He thought of earlier, Starfire had seemed so..hurt when she had told him to promise he'd be back. It seemed like she had already been hurt enough to know the pain of a forgotten love. He felt so bad that he had to leave her but he would be back in time for the wedding ceremony, that he promised, to himself and to Starfire.

With Starfire...

She had been so desperate when she had begged him to promise. She knew Richard had seen it but what else could she have done? She was just glad he didn't ask any questions about Speedy, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to answer them for him. But she needed to make sure he would be back because she could never go through another heartbreak after what Speedy had done to her. She wouldn't, she just couldn't.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Just so ya'll know Richard doesn't know about Speedy, he doesn't know what he did to her but remember that he didn't do anything to her, it was Blackfire AND Starfire doesn't know that Richard doesn't know about Speedy, gosh this is getting so confusing LoL but oMg oMg oMg oMg I can't wait for me to finish the next chapter so you guys can read it!
