CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
" Wow, nice room." Abigail said looking around, " I mean cabin. That's the correct term isn't it?"
Lorne tipped the porter and closed the door. He took her in his arms and smiled down at her.
" What do you want to do? Explore the ship?" Abigail asked. They had left the port of LA.
" Actually I want to stay here for awhile." Lorne said, " There's no rush. We've got two weeks to explore and enjoy what this ship has to offer."
" Okay," Abigail agreed staring up into his brown eyes. He kissed her and the kiss turned passionate.

Abigail's stomach growled as she lay in Lorne's arms. It was nearly 6pm and they had spent all day in bed and she was starving.
" Do you want to order room service?" Lorne suggested as he opened the bedside drawer to take out the menus.
" I feel like going out to eat," Abigail admitted, " See what this ship has to offer."
Lorne smiled and kissed the top of her head. He had to admit he was ravenous. Abigail got out of bed and went to have a shower. He joined her and once again they made love. Abigail laughed as she pushed him away afterwards, " At this rate, we'll never leave the room."
" That's fine with me," Lorne said grinning as he reached for her again.
" The water's too cold…let's get dressed and have dinner." Abigail said and went back into the bedroom. She put on a pair of jeans and a blouse. Then they headed out.
As they headed for the restaurant, Abigail looked over her shoulder. She had a strange feeling she was being watched. She linked arms with Lorne and looked straight ahead but the feeling wouldn't go away.
" You ok?" Lorne asked as they entered the restaurant.
" Yep." She nodded as a waiter showed them to an empty table.

He watched the couple enter the restaurant. They looked young, happy and in love. There was the girl. The Protected One. She was petite with brown hair and hazel eyes. The man's arm was around the woman's. His appearance startled him. He had once been a demon and was now human. He wondered if the chance was permanent.
" Would you like anything else sir?" a pesky waitress asked him and he just grunted and waved her away. She was obscuring his view of Abigail.
One of the rules of his assignment was never to let her know he was around. If she learned who he was, she may very well kill him. Or her boyfriend might. So he must stay invisible at all times and protect her.
That was his duty. Wether he agreed with it or not, remained to be seen.
