Hey everyone I'm so sorry that it took me this long to update. I had forgotten about it for a bit and then I was stuck for some of it. Bright side, I've already started the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 19

Mary-Lynette's POV

"Sure, that sounds great." I saw his muscles relax and his shoulders lower when I answered. I had expected him to listen in on my thoughts so he would know what I was going to say before I even said it. That way he wouldn't seem so surprised on what my answer was. It did make me feel better knowing that he wasn't going to be listening to my thought the entire time that we were together.

I followed him to his room which was only two doors down from where I would've slept originally. Surprisingly it was neater then I would've expected a guy's room to be. The layout of the room was pretty much identical to my original room. We walked in and he motioned to the bed while he walked into another room which was probably the bathroom.

Sitting down on the bed I started to fidget, I was actually going to spend the night with him, alone. I didn't know what to really expect to happen but I was just happy to finally be with him again.

It wasn't long before he came out of the bathroom. He scanned me from head to toe with his eyes. His eyebrow raised slightly by the end.

"I thought that you were going to change while I was in the bathroom." The corner of his mouth lifted to show his teeth as he smiled at me. It almost seemed that he was nervous about this to.

"I didn't know that I was supposed to." I could feel my cheeks rise in colour as I sat on the bed. "Besides my clothes are in the other room."

Very casually the corners of his mouth rose as he walked to the one side of the room. "Well I already told Rowan about what I was going to ask you and she was pretty sure that you would say yes – which she was right about – so she put your stuff in my room." He lifted my bag and placed it on the bed. "If you want I can go back into the bathroom while you change."

"Um, sure." I knew that eventually we would be changing with the other in the same room but for right now it just seemed too fast.

Instead of heading to the bathroom he walked closer until he was standing right before me. He bent down slightly and kissed my forehead. "Take your time. I'm going to go and talk to Quinn for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can." His hand hesitated to touch my cheek and in the end he dropped it.

He left and I was left alone in his room. I didn't know how long he was going to be so I quickly got ready for bed. When I was done changing he still wasn't back so I took a look around and what he had here.

There wasn't a bunch of stuff in his room. He just had the usual things that most people would have. He did have some pictures placed on his desk. I made my way over there to see what was in each frame.

The one was of him and his sisters. Ash and Kestrel looked like they would rather be somewhere else. Jade and Rowan however actually smiled at the camera. There was another one placed right beside it. When I saw it my eyes widened in surprised.

Just then a knock came on the door. There was a slight hesitation before I went to the door. Opening it slightly I saw a smiling face staring right at me.

"I take it you're ready for bed then." Ash slowly made his way back into his room. "So you can have the bed, and I guess I'll sleep on the couch." It seemed weird for him to say that. I was sure that he would've wanted to just share the bed seeing as we were soulmates. Eventually though we were going to have to share the bed so why not start now.

"It would make me feel better if you were with me though." I rubbed my arm as I spoke. This was something that was completely new for me and I didn't really know what to say.

He didn't argue or anything. It seemed that he realized this too but just didn't want to say anything. "I just didn't want to push you into anything." His hand went behind his head as he made his way to the other side of the bed.

It didn't take long before I was comfy laying within his arms and feeling like I was completely safe from anything. I didn't know how he was feeling but I just didn't want this to stop.

"So what have you been up to?" It was a simple question but when he asked it but I felt like tears were about to form. How was I supposed to say that I was just waiting for the day that I saw him again? Instead I just slightly tighten my grip on his shirt.

"Just the usual: school, stargazing and hanging out with friends." I closed my eyes and just hopped that I wasn't dreaming about this. "How about you?" I rested my chin against his chest as I watched his reaction.

"Well . . ." He looked at me watching him and started to smile. "I ended up saving some lives even before I joined Circle Daybreak. Gillian was one of them and she was the one that actually saved me from James when I walked into here. Other than that I was just waiting until I could see you again. I would call Rowan and ask her how you were doing and everything." He moved forward and kissed my forehead again. "You should get some sleep."

Just as he said it I yawned. "Will you still be here when I wake up?" I moved slightly and got comfortable lying beside him. My eyelids grew heavy and before I knew it I was falling asleep.

"Of course I will be." It sounded like he was whispering and before I knew it I was completely asleep.

Hope that it was worth the wait. REVIEW!
