Sorry it has taken me so long to upload the chapter, I feel really bad to because Saramagician was just saying something about not being able to upload on time and that it was annoying so after I read what you(Saramagician) had to say I realized this story was begging for attention. So here is the partially edited, due to requests, next chapter of my story that is suffering from a few technical issues, that not even a review can fix, but anyway. Enjoy!

Chapter 12,

Newly Wed,

Everyone who was watching the ceremony take place soon rose and walked to the tables that were ripe for the picking. While Guy and Annie slowly walked together to the table, with his arm firmly wrapped around her waist, and hers around his waist.

Two younger girls led them towards the cake that was set in the middle of the table,

"You have to cut the cake now." One girl giggled,

"It's always been done that way." The other giggled, as she handed Guy the knife,

When Guy was about to cut the cake Annie placed her hand on top of Guy's and so she guided his hand, and he guided hers. When the first piece was cut Annie slid her finger through some of the icing, and she soon dabbed it on the end of Guy's nose, he wiped it of and licked his finger.

After cutting several more pieces for those who held out empty plates, they soon found a seat together, in which they shared their slice of cake. But they were interrupted when the crowd started to call out for a toast, so Guy walked over to the table and soon took a goblet of wine.

"I propose a toast to my lovely wife Annie of Gisborne." Guy called out,

He raised his goblet into the air, the rest of the crowd soon raised their goblets into the air calling out, 'Annie of Gisborne' just as Guy kissed her on the cheek. It was then that a soft calming melody began to play, and Guy soon looked to Annie who looked up at him.

"May I have the honor of this dance?" Guy asked,

"With pleasure." Annie replied,

So Guy then unbuttoned his coat and soon he slipped it off his shoulders, finally revealing the doublet and leggings he had bought earlier. Guy than held Annie by the hand as he led her to the center of the cleared dance floor, he soon slid his arm around her waist, as she did the same, before they began to rock to the melody.

His body was pressed against hers, as they gracefully danced across the wooden floor, their footfalls nearly impossible to detect amongst the music. Annie rested her head against Guy's shoulder, and took her hand out of his to place it on his shoulder to hold him tighter and closer to her.

The first dance was slow and soft, and it was truly heart warming, as they had time to finally do something as man and wife. Several minutes elapsed, and still Guy and Annie were close to each other slowly moving about the dance floor.

But soon the tempo changed as a new tune was starting, and soon several more couples joined in on the dance floor, because it was a group dance. First the women lined up on one side, and the men did likewise, they then bowed to each other before they began to bounce about.

First they went in circles interlocking arms with different men, it wasn't until every woman had locked arms with all the men did the next phase start. The women then took center stage as the men stepped back, they then began to twirl around as fast as they could, their squirts turning into flying circles.

Halfway between the spinning the men then joined their partners, only they didn't join in on the spinning, instead they began to start a form of tap-dancing. One arm was raised in the air while the other was poised at their chest, but most of the action started when they slapped their shoes on the hardwood floor, adding to the rhythm.

After a few moments more of the tapping and spinning, the men stopped and lined up in a row while the women spun for only a moment longer. They then briskly walked over to their partners, where they were all leaned back over the men's knees at once. While one arm was extended upwards the other arm kept the women from falling, then the music stopped, and everyone began to clap loudly.

They then rose back to their feet and bowed as a group, before they retired to the tables for a drink to refresh themselves and give themselves time to rest. Guy was glad that even though he had spent a while living in the forest with Robin, he was still capable of conducting himself accordingly around the fairer sex.

The whole time they danced Annie had the most pleasant smile on her face, which Guy couldn't help but mimic, because they were both exceedingly happy. While Guy and Annie held a goblet of wine in their hands that they sipped frequently, they watched as other young happy couples entranced others in their dances that they entwined with their love, as memories of their own marriage no doubt flooded back to them.

Annie had left Guy to continue in the dancing; instead Guy sat back and watched her gracefully floating about the dance floor. He had never really been a man for dancing, but there were times when he made an acceptation, and when the tempo changed again back to a soft rhythm he made an acceptation.

He soon was once again in the arms of his lovely bride, only this time they moved about more, the only thing that remained the same was that they were in each others warm embrace. The afternoon was soon danced and drunk away, and when nightfall approached, it found Guy and Annie getting ready to ride into town.

Annie had seen to it that they could be alone for the night, as she had made preparation for Seth to be looked after by one of the women that attended the wedding, as she was a close friend. Guy helped Annie mount his horse, before he mounted behind her; he had his arms around her waist as he held the reins firmly.

He applied pressure with the heels of his boots in Renatus's side, which soon found him walking briskly along the rode to London. When they had arrived in town, Guy led his horse to the hotel he dismounted and helped Annie down, they soon walked arm in arm towards the front door.

"Don't you want to hitch him to the post?" Annie asked,

"There's no need, not with this horse." Guy explained,

"What's his name?"

"Renatus." Guy replied,

"See even you know you're capable of reconciliation." Annie said,

"You know what it means?" Guy asked,

"Yes I do…and I'm proud of you." She replied, as they made their way to the front desk,

"I bet I can guess what you want before you even say anything." The long red-haired woman began, "You want the bridal suite don't you?" She asked,

"Yes that's right." Guy answered,

"That will be six shillings…and here is your key." She explained, so Guy handed her the money,

"It's on the top floor…we made it that way so that the new couples that came in here could have peace and quiet." She said, as she pointed towards the stairs,

"Thank you." Annie said gratefully, as she and Guy ascended the stairs,

Once they had made it to their room, Guy unlocked the door so they could enter; he then locked the door behind him so they could not be disturbed for the rest of the night. Annie dimly lit the lamps, so they could see what they were doing while Guy began to shed his doublet and undershirt leaving only his breeches; after she lit the lamps she began to loosen the string on her wedding gown.

After Guy had finished undressing, he helped Annie with her jewelry, after he had placed it on the table that held the lamp, he turned to see Annie sliding her dress off her hips. She soon stepped out of it revealing a white silk nightgown; Guy soon took her into his embrace, her body pressed against his, her eyes locked onto his.

"Today you have made me the happiest man in London." Guy said, as he kissed her cheek,

"And you have made me the happiest woman in London." Annie said, as she moved into his tender kisses,

Only moments later Guy and Annie had crawled into the large soft marriage bed, Guy is almost in a sitting position while Annie has her head resting on his chest, and he has one arm resting on her back.

"Now that you are my wife…I will do everything I can to keep my past from coming after you." Guy said, "Because I would never want to lose you." He added as he moved away slightly, this revealed the cuts on his stomach, Annie was horrified,

"Guy what happened to you?" She asked, still somewhat in shock,

"It's nothing Guy said, But there was no way he could hide those scars,

"That's the past you want to protect me from isn't it?" Annie asked,

"That past is my sister…and Prince John." Guy replied,

"What happened?" Annie asked,

"I was about to be executed…I had no idea what was going on because I was blind, but I could feel every little thing that they did to me…and I will never let it happen to you or Seth." Guy said protectively,

"It's alright…I know nothing can touch us now we can start anew." Annie assured,

"Tomorrow I have to leave Annie." Guy said, sadness soon taking over his speech pattern,

"Why…we can be happy here?" Annie asked,

"I have to go back to Nottingham Robin is waiting for me there…he needs me." Guy explained,

"But I need you…is he more important to you than I am?" Annie asked,

"Of course not…nothing will be more important than you and me." Guy said, as she shifted closer to him, he then kissed her on the back of her neck,

"Then stay here with me." Annie said,

"I have to make things right with my sister…when things have been set the way they should be, I will send for you." Guy said,

"But I will miss you to much."

"And I will miss you, but as long as we remember our vows at the alter, we will never be apart." Guy explained,

"You're right if we are to start anew then you must make things right…tomorrow I will long for your message." Annie agreed,

"And the day I send it I will be awaiting your arrival in Nottingham." Guy said, as he begun to stroke her soft brown hair, which she had taken out of the plated bun,

"But we can worry about that tomorrow can't we?" Annie asked, as she looked up at him,

"Of course we can there is no room for unpleasant conversations tonight." Guy said, as he saw a twinkle spark in Annie's deep hazel eyes,

"In that case." She said, as she pulled away from Guy's grip to sit on his hips, she then placed her hands soothingly on his waist,

"In that case…shall we?" Guy asked,

"We shall." Annie replied,

She then lay on him so her head was in close proximity to his; Guy then kissed her as he wrapped his arms around her to pull her closer.

"We'll talk more tomorrow." Guy said, before he kissed her again,

Tonight he was going to enjoy his marriage; tomorrow he would consider returning to Robin, to his gang, the camp, Nottingham, and Isabella. There was no way he was going to spoil the night of his marriage, but if he was going to consider changing his sister's mind about Prince John, there was no reason to let Robin in on his idea.

Well I hope you liked the story, since it took me long enough to get it to you, but if you have enjoyed it, then feel free to tell me what you think :o)
