"Marco"

"Polo"

Helen was standing against a wall listening, waiting for somebody to move a little to fast so she could catch them.

She made her way slowly to the middle of the pool.

When she came to a stand still, she realized everybody must be holding there breath. It was deadly silent. She felt a hand run up her leg and dived under to grab the person who did it. But there was nobody there. And then it happened again, but this time along her belly. Who ever was doing it was fast. And had guts.

Nikola. He was the only person who was fast enough and could see very well underwater because of his vampirism. She didn't want to admit that she liked how it made her feel, but she had to take action… if any of the others saw….

She used the lights to orientate her self and turned around facing the edge. She knew Nikola wouldn't be able to resist touching her ass so she just waited.

Sure enough about a minute later she felt a hand gently run up the back of her thigh and brush against her ass so she used the wall the push herself back onto him.

"Gotcha!" Helen said triumphantly opening her eyes to find a very annoyed looking Nikola.

"You're very predictable Nikola."

This earned her a scowl.

"No I'm not, take that back!" He growled.

"Nope" Helen said walking back towards the other end of the pool to get the others out from behind the waterfall, but making sure the wiggle her butt just a tad for Nikola's benefit.

"Come on we have a lot of work to do tomorrow. So I suggest you all get some rest" Helen said, poking her head through the running water.

They all filed out looking like little children who'd parents had sent them to bed early.

Helen couldn't help but laugh at the look on there faces which just earned her the cold shoulder.

When they had all gotten out of the pool Helen ducked through the water fall, waited a few moments before ducking into her secret hideaway.

She slowly made her way out of the cavern and into the fountain. The fountain looked ordinary from the outside but on the inside the water came up to your waist and there was built in ledges that made miniature waterfalls as the water flowed over them.

She looked around at the garden that Big guy had taken the time to tend to. She had chosen a red and white colour scheme. All the Roses were out in full bloom. And the large red apple tree had fruit hanging form every branch. It looked magnificent.

She waded over to the end and looked up at the stars. She could see the Gemini twins and Cancer.

Her head started to ache from her hair being so tightly bound. So she reached up and removed the hair tie and started unweaving her hair, taking great care not to tangle it.

She had been doing it for about a minute when her arms started to ache from being held up so long. She decided to have a break and continue soon but someone came up behind her and gently started unweaving the rest of her hair for her. His fingers were so sure and strong that there was no mistaking who it was. She secretly loved it when Nikola played with her hair. Once he had finished and her hair spilled around her shoulder's he gently massaged her scalp.

He leaned in to her ear and she could feel his hot breath on her neck.

"There, is that better?" He whispered and kissed the spot just behind her earlobe.

She couldn't stop the groan that escaped her lips. She could see his smug grin in her mind so clearly she didn't need to turn around to see it on his face.

"I'll take that as a yes"

He untangled his fingers from her scalp and gently combed them through her hair before taking them away entirely. She whimpered at the loss of his soothing fingers.

"How did you find me?" Nobody knew about her spot.

"I saw you go into the waterfall and after you didn't come out I went in after you. You were nowhere to be seen so I figured there must be some kind of secret entrance somewhere in there. And I know how you've always loved water. Yes I know you also swim everyday. So I looked around underwater and I saw it. Very clever Helen.

I can understand why you love it out here though. I didn't know you had a thing for red and white roses, I'll have to keep that in mind…"

He snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her close. He was surprised when she didn't pull away bit instead leaned into the embrace.

They stood like that for along time just watching the stars until Helen's eyes started to droop. It had been along day, the abnormal had been very difficult to capture and required them to chase after it into the sewers.

Nikola felt her starting to go slack in his arms and gently picked her up.

His action shook Helen awake and knew she should get to bed but didn't want to leave Nikola's arms just yet.

He placed her on the ledge facing him so he could study her face. She had bags under eyes and she generally looked sleep deprived.

"I think you should get some sleep"

"Mm mm maybe" She gave him a weak smile and she knew he had won with out having to utter another word. She put her arms around his neck and leaned in, giving him a gentle kiss that he responded eagerly. When they broke for some much needed air Helen had a lopsided grin on her face, like a teenager after her first kiss. She took his hand and headed for the steps to get out. Nikola noticed she hadn't let go of his hand yet and smiled. Maybe after all this time she had come to her senses. She led him over to a small building tucked away very skillfully behind some hedges worked into the layout of the garden. Helen pushed them both under a shower and turned on the water. To Nikola's surprise it was warm.

Nikola watched as she tilted her head up to meet to steady stream of water and combing through her hair. He took this time to look around the interior or the building. It was made from wood and white tiles covered the floor. Small spotlights dotted the ceiling but were powerful enough to light up the whole room nicely. The single shower they were standing under was just a shower head poking out from the wall along with a set of taps and a small shelf. On the shelf he saw some hair shampoo and conditioner. Figuring since there was only one shower and Helen's reaction when he found her, she was the only person who used this place; therefore, they must be hers. He walked over to the shelf, picking up the bottle and walking back to the steaming water. He squirted a generous amount on to his hand before massaging it to Helen's scalp. Making her drop her hands to her sides and sigh with content. She loves massages, Nikola thought, tucking away that thought for a later date. Nikola ran his soapy hands over her shoulders and guided her back into the water so she could wash the soap off. He started massaging the conditioner in the same way but this time combing his fingers through her hair as he had seen on Television.

"Thank you Nikola, it feels really good. Your hands are amazing" Helen said softly.

"No problem. You saved my life today Helen if you hadn't pushed me I may have been in a lot of trouble. Not even a vampire could survive having his head ripped off. And you can't imagine what I can do with my hands Helen" He said, winking.

His last comment made her blush at the scenario's her mind conjured.

"Your welcome. I'm going to have to save your life more often if this is how you repay me" She laughed softly.

"You don't have to save my life for this Helen, just ask"

She was taken aback by the sincerity in his words and the butterflies in her stomach.

All she could do was smile, for the first time in Her life, she had been to shocked to speak.
