A/N This is kind of a ' I'm still sorry if you guys thought I was dead present^_^; ' Another chapter!:D Enjoy!:)

She actually kissed him.

And he kissed her back.

If only her life was this simple, she would have kissed him forever, however, she was Independent. But as of this moment, she could care less right now. Right now, she would make the most out of tonight and worry about it all tomorrow. Tonight, she was happy for the first time in 3 years.

For what seemed like years, they finally broke apart. "I'm sorry. So, so, sorry. It was an accident, I swear it was." They whispered at the same time.

"It's okay." They once again, whispered together. Then,Elizabeta did what seemed like the only thing she could do at that time: She laughed. Grabbing her sides and rolling over on her side, she howled with laughter.

Roderich watched her as she laughed, and soon, he also found himself laughing right beside her.

Elizabeta knew that she should enjoy this moment with a good laugh because as soon as she got home, she would spend the next few days mopping around and being depressed until she talked herself into being back to normal. But the both of them could use a good laugh.

Elizabeta continued laughing as she rolled over on her belly. She stopped laughing when something poked her in her pulled out what poked her and out jingled her keys.

At that moment, Roderich and Elizabeta had never laughed so hard so hard in their lives.

As Roderich drove home, he sneaked a glance at Elizabeta who was sound asleep. He smiled softly, 'When she said that when she's sleepy, she's going to sleep..She meant it.' His thoughts stayed on Elizabeta the whole car ride home.

Roderich wouldn't be surprised if he didn't wake up in the morning, for he had already knew the possible consequences of kissing an independent woman.

'What if the penalty is death? Or worse, a frying pan to the face?' He thought as a shiver went down his back as he thought about his the consequences of his actions.

However, if the independent woman was no one other than Elizabeta Héderváry (Which it was.), then at least he would die happy knowing that he kissed the lady that he loved.

Lady that he loved.

Did he really love Elizabeta?

He sighed, never had he felt this way about a woman before. Whenever he was around Elizabeta, he never seemed so happy in his life. With her, it seemed that she was the only on that could tell a joke and he would actually laugh...Elizabeta had a very adorable laugh...And smile.

He also loved how she always smelled of Sweet Vanilla or Cinnamon Apple. However, his favorite thing about Elizabeta was her hair. He loved how her curly hair would always bounce with every step she took.

And little did he know, that the more he thought about Elizabeta, the more he fell in love with her.

Roderich took the last turn on the street that Elizabeta lived on. He parked the car in the garage, got out of the car in into the dark garage. He clapped his hands twice and the lights flicked on.

Roderich smiled, "I can see how one can enjoy turning on lights like that." He said as her walked around to the passenger side. Roderich opened Elizabeta's door and carefully picked he up so that she wouldn't wake up. He carried her inside and to bed. After that, he slipped off her shoes and and pulled her cover over her.

Unaware of his actions, Roderich started to run his fingers through Elizabeta's hair. He always wanted to touch her hair. Usually he wouldn't even touch his own like this, but her hair was just...amazing to him. Every time he ran his fingers through her curly locks, it would just bounce back.

Suddenly, Roderich untangled his hand from Elizabeta's hair to cover his yawn. He was tired, but he really didn't want to stop playing in her hair. He sighed. 'I guess I should really get some sleep right now.' He thought.

Roderich pushed the hair that fell into her face and softly said, "Good night Elizabeta." With that, he turned off the light and left the room, closing the door behind him.

The next morning, Elizabeta found herself still in the clothes she had on yesterday. 'How did I get in my bed?' She thought as she pulled off the covers and walked out of her room.

When she walked into the living room, she wasn't surprised to see Roderich asleep on the couch. She noticed that he didn't have any cover on him. Had he been cold all night? 'I hope not?' She thought as she covered him up with the Throw Blanket.

After that, she waled into the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee. She took a mug out of the cabinets and sat down at the dinning room table.

While she sat at the table, she looked in the living room where she saw Roderich still asleep on the couch. As she continued to gaze at Roderich, she thought back to last night. Honestly, her stomach still kind of hurt from laughing so hard last night. Then, she thought about the reason why she was laughing.

Elizabeta frowned and rested her head on the table. 'How could I have been so stupid as to kiss a man?' She thought.

"Elizabeta?"

Elizabeta looked up to see Roderich still wrapped in the Throw Blanket.

"Good morning Roderich." She said with a fake smile.

Roderich smiled back. "Good morning."

There was a soft beep into the kitchen and Elizabeta got up from the table with the coffee mug in her hand.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" She said walking into the kitchen.

"A cup of coffee sounds nice." Roderich said walking into the kitchen with Elizabeta. He pulled out a coffee mug and Elizabeta poured the coffee in for him.

"Thank you." He said.

They both sat in the dining room drinking coffee in the silence.

"Um, Elizabeta? Are you okay? You look worried." Roderich asked.

Elizabeta sighed softly, but continued to smile. "I'm fine Roderich, thank you for worrying about me though."

Roderich slightly frowned. "I don't think that your telling the truth Elizabeta. You can tell me if it's a secret, I promise I won't tell another soul."

Elizabeta's heart sank. 'He promised.' She thought. Whenever Roderich promised, she felt like it was a need to tell him. She didn't know why she thought that, she just...did.

"Well you see, I'm independent right?"

"Right."

"And I kissed you last night."

Roderich blushed, "That is correct."

Elizabeta started to tear up. "And-and I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to." As she continued to talk, she actually started to cry.

"I'm sure you didn't mean to."

"I-I mean, how am I supposed to stay independent if I just keep going around kissing hundreds of guys like I'm some slut?" She yelled.

As much as Roderich didn't understand, he tried his best to be understanding. Were all girls like this? Is this what happens when they release all of the feelings they had bottled up inside of them? So many questions ran through Roderich's head, but he chose to ignore them and help Elizabeta. He got up and gave her his handkerchief.

"There, there," He said rubbing her back. "Technically, you just kissed me and didn't go around kissing hundreds of of guys all willy-nilly. So in conclusion, you're not a...slut."

"Roderich?" Elizabeta said.

"Yes?"

"Don't say slut. Slut:Is a bad word. Never say slut."

"But you just said it 3 times in 1 sentence."

"Well, that's because I'm an adult."

"Am I not 26-years-old?"

Elizabeta laughed, "I didn't mean it that way."

"No, no, no. This is perfect. I am no longer 26, but 6. Now, I can go back to eating nothing but chocolate cake and playing the the piano all of the time. And what's best is that I no longer have to worry about a single thing."

Elizabeta laughed even more.

"Do you feel better now?" Roderich asked.

"Kinda."

"Well I have a method that I always use whenever I'm down. Maybe it'll work."

"Well what is it?" Elizabeta asked.

"How about you get cleaned up first and meet me at The Shadow's?" Roderich said with a smile.

Elizabeta smiled back. "Okay."

Elizabeta opened the door to The Shadow's Cafe where she she found Roderich sitting at the piano. She walked over and sat down next to him. "I knew playing the piano cheered you up." She said with a smile.

Roderich smiled back. "Are there any songs you want me to play?"

Elizabeta thought for a moment. "If I tell my request you have to promise not to laugh."

"I promise."

"Can you play the first level of Super Mario Brother's? If you know that song."

Roderich smiled. "Some request you have there, but I know the song. I used to play it as a child all the time." He said looking for the key that it's played in. When he found it, he instantly started playing and Elizabeta started humming along.

When he was done, Elizabeta couldn't stop grinning. "That was amazing."

"Do you want me to play the 2nd level also?" He asked.

"NO!" She instantly yelled making Roderich jump."

She smiled sheepishly, "I mean no. It's just that the 2nd level song kinda creeped me me out as a kid. Every time I played it, I would always mute my television. The same goes for that one level with the castle."

"Level 4?"

"Yeah! That level!" She said before she started laughing.

"I can also play 'Green Hill Zone' from Sonic:The Hedgehog."

"Well you should play it like, right now." Elizabeta said smiling.

Roderich nodded and searched for the key the song was played in. Like before, as soon as he found the key he started playing. And like before, Elizabeta hummed along.

After he finished playing, Elizabeta couldn't stop grinning. (again) "That was amazing." She said again.

"Thank you," Roderich replied, "Now, are there any other songs you would like me to play?"

"Um, instead of a request for a song, do you think you could teach me how to play the piano?" She asked shyly.

Roderich smiled. "I would love to teach you. Do you know anything about the piano?"

"Oh! I know this." She said and pressed middle 'C'.

"...That's it?"

"Yeah. That's all."

"Just middle 'C'?"

"Yep."

Roderich chuckled. "Well I know we have a lot to work on, starting with the basics."

"Like what?"

"Well things such as major, minor, and chromatic scales, reading sheet music, cords, etc."

"Well let's get started." Elizabeta said happily.

Elizabeta was a very fast learner, and Roderich was a very good teacher. He taught her everything he said he would. By the end of her lesson, she had made her first cord... Roderich has never been so proud.

It was needless to say that Elizabeta actually forgot about being depressed. In truth, learning about the piano and having so much fun while doing it almost made her forget about the whole day yesterday.

"Roderich? Elizabeta?"

They looked up simultaneously to see Francis leaning over on the piano.

"You do know it's 8 right?" He said.

Roderich and Elizabeta exchanged looks. Had it been 8 o'clock already? Last time Roderich checked his watch, it said 4:45. He gazed at his watch again.

"Well what do you know? It's 8 o'clock. That means it's time to start." Roderich said.

Elizabeta nodded and scampered off to her usual seat in the café.

"Well now that that's taken care of," Francis said over the microphone, "We can get started. Good evening everyone. I'm Francis Bonnefoy, owner of The Shadow's Café. I would like to thank everyone for coming out tonight, you're always appreciated here. Now I will turn the microphone over to Madeline Benoit who will be sharing some of her poetry with us." And with that, he handed the mic. over to Madeline who was sitting up straight on the mumbled a 'Thank you sir.' and started to speak.

"Hello everyone. I'm Madeline Benoit waitress at The Shadow's Café and when I'm not working I'm at home, writing poetry and I just thought it would be nice to share some with you all tonight." She said and took a deep breath.

Dig

I dig, you dig, we dig.

He digs, she digs, they dig.

We all dig.

It's not a very beautiful poem, but it's certainty very deep.

The crowd erupted with laughter.
