Chapter Song: Slow Dancing In A Burning Room by John Mayer

Chapter 9: This Love That We Been Working On

As it turned out, human food was disgusting to Galen. Godric, Celia, and Rodrick found her reaction to this fact hilarious. She hurried to spit the food out while no one was looking and immediately dove for Godric's bottle of TrueBlood, not caring what type it was.

"Careful, darling. You don't want to drink so fast!" Godric chided jokingly.

"Shut up!" Galen choked out before drinking her own bottle of TrueBlood. Celia laughed, her hand settling on Rodrick's. Galen eyed the exchange and smiled to herself. For the rest of dinner, they laughed and made jokes and Galen was glad for it.

It had been a long time since she'd been with family and this was something she could get used to. They rode back to Godric's nest in comfortable silence. Once inside, Godric and Galen bade goodnight to Celia and Rodrick and went upstairs to their room.

"You enjoyed yourself tonight, I hope?" Godric asked as he unzipped Galen's dress for her. It fell to the floor, revealing her half naked body. She turned her head slightly over her shoulder to look at Godric.

"It's the most fun I've had in ages." she replied, taking the pins out of her hair, letting it fall down her back in soft curls.

He smiled wryly as he watched her remove her underwear, tossing them into a hamper near the bathroom. He heard the shower running and distinctly heard her climb inside. Smiling to himself, he discarded his clothing and joined Galen in the shower.

She sighed in content when she felt Godric's arms wrap around her waist under the constant spray of water in the shower. Her dark chocolate hair touched the top of her waist now that it was flat and wet. She reached for the shampoo but Godric took it from her and proceeded to wash her hair for her.

"You don't have to that, honey. I can wash my own hair." Galen said, turning to face Godric. He smiled and pushed her against the shower wall so that the water was rinsing the shampoo from her hair.

"I want to take care of you, Galen. Stop being so stubborn and just let me do what I need to." Godric answered, his arms moving so that they were around her waist.

Galen rolled her eyes and kissed Godric softly, tugging at his bottom lip. "I don't deserve a man as good as you, Godric. I want you to know I appreciate everything you've done for me even if I don't show it that well."

Godric looked at Galen seriously, moving even closer to her than humanly possible. "It is I who does not deserve you, Galen. You mean much more to me than should be possible and I appreciate the light and meaning you've brought to my life. I love you, Galen, and I will continue to do so for the rest of eternity."

Galen felt ruby tears slide down her face and she rushed to try to wipe them away but Godric was faster. His face moved closer to hers and he licked the tears away from her cheeks. He kissed her forehead, both of her cheeks, her nose, and finally her lips.

It was urgent, soft, and passionate at the same time and Galen practically fell to her knees when he pulled away. Just when she thought he was going to leave her alone in the shower, he picked her up so that her legs were wrapped around his waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

"And just what are you about to do?" Galen asked playfully.

He laughed and kissed her fiercely before saying, "That's for me to do and you to scream about."

Galen faced the wall in deep thought. She could vaguely feel Godric's fingers tracing the curves of her body. She smiled and turned over, a smile on her face.

"Finish your sentence." Godric said softly.

"What was I saying?"

"You were telling me why you think you're a terrible vampire and I was disagreeing." Godric answered.

"Well, I don't feel right drinking TrueBlood."

Godric laughed and linked his hands with hers and kissing them.

"It's true. I'd rather be doing stuff as a vampire than just sitting around doing nothing. And then you're always killing, but I haven't done that yet and I think I'm afraid to." Galen confessed.

"You could kill a man." Godric replied.

"But only for self defense, not for lunch." Galen said honestly, rolling her eyes.

"Well, you'd adapt...like we all do, trading the sun for the moon and stars." Godric replied.

"Nope. Not me. I think I want them all." Galen said, her voice sounding like bells. Godric pulled her slightly closer.

"Greedy." Godric laughed softly.

"Yeah. I guess I am." Galen smiled back at him, her legs tangling slightly with his.

"I love it."

Galen reached over and traced invisible patterns across Godric's chest, smiling as she did so. Godric ran his fingers through her hair slowly before kissing her hands again. He pulled himself so that he was closer to her. "You have the right temprement for a vampire."

"What? Why? Am I high maintenance, bloodthirsty, and old as dirt like you?"

"Me? High maintenance? I do not think so." Godric replied with a smile. "And bloodthirsty, yes, you are."

"I am not."

"Everyone thinks you're sweet, don't they? I know I do." Godric confessed, tracing her shoulder again.

Galen shivered at this and sighed. "I am sweet."

"That may be true. But I've witnessed the way you are about your mother. You're ruthless when it comes to the people you love. You would do anything for them."

"Godric, if, by 'people you love', you mean you, my mother, and Isabel, then yes, you're right." Galen replied, smiling barely.

She sat up slowly in an attempt to stretch her neck. Godric took advantage of this and began to kiss her neck fervently before tracing her chest much like she had his. "I sometimes think you have no patience." he said.

"I sometimes think you're a hardass...who just wants to make my existence miserable." Galen replied simply.

"And what do you think of me right now?"

"You care for me, more than you should, you understand me, you're overprotective. There's love in you." Galen ticked off, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Only for you, Galen." Godric answered before leaning forward to kiss her passionately. She sat up slightly, but to this, Godric pushed her down and hovered over her. "This is only the beginning."

With that, his kisses became far more urgent as he moved from her lips and down her chest. She sighed in content and was on her way to wailing when there was a knock on the room door. Annoyed, she and Godric both sat up.

"What?" she called out, annoyance rising every word in her voice.

"Godric, there's someone here to see you. His name is Appius. He says its urgent." Isabel replied, her voice slightly shaky.

Godric's eyes widened considerably and he threw the covers from his form. "Shit!" he hissed as he quickly pulled on some dark jeans, a gray V-neck, and black dress shoes with a dark leather jacket.

Galen had never known Godric to cuss and she knew then that something was terribly wrong. "Godrc, what is it? Who's Appius?"

Godric hurried from the clsoet with a bag and threw some of Galen's clothes inside. She sat up and looked at him, worry filling her. "Who is he?" she asked.

"Galen, take your mother and go to Shreveport. When you get there, go to Eric's club. His progeny Pam should be there."

"Godric, what's going on?" Galen asked, leabing the bed quickly as Godric handed her a dress to put on.

"Galen, Appius is my maker."

A/N: So, what do you think? I'm still trying to decide if I want to make him evil or not. It all depends on what you guys want :) Until next time...reviews make me happy 3
