Back to the Old Apartment

She let out a small giggle. "Yeah me too." she said as she smiled letting out a soft moan as he kissed her neck. God how she missed being with him. She couldn't remember the last time they were like this. She hated the fact she was having to go back to school because she wouldn't be able to see him all the time.

She sighed as he played with her hair, "I've missed you so much I can't even begin to describe it..."

Hours Later...

"I think I've missed being in your arms the most." she said as she kissed him sweetly on the lips. She frowned a little at the mention of Christy, "I know you compare us, but do you have to do it in front of me?" she asked secretly glad he liked her in bed more than her. That was something she felt almost proud of. "I guess we should get my one little box and get going?" she asked curiously.

Varod sighed.

"I'm sorry baby, didn't mean to..." he whispered, not commenting on the flash he saw in her eye. "Yeah. Let's go. Where's this box?"

He stood and got dressed quickly. "Then I can show you my house. I have a roommate now, you might know her. Her name is Aurora. But she's normally out in the forest so she's not around much."

Smiling at her, he pulled her gently to her feet.

She smiled at him, "In the kitchen." she replied as she got up, fully dressed now. She walked hurriedly into the kitchen and then back into the living room. The box was huge and it was amazing how she could even manage to pick something like that up. "Wow I didn't think it was this big." she said as she sat it back down.

"No..." she replied about his roommate. "I don't think I know an Aurora. Maybe I'll eventually get to meet her." she said as she kissed him on the cheek, "Well are you ready to go then?"

Varod picked it up.

"God that would have sucked for you," he said, hefting it onto one shoulder as to leave his other hand free. "Yeah you'll meet her eventually, but now, let's just take this wherever. Where are we taking this again?"

He kissed her lightly on the lips and opened the door.

"We can take it with us." she replied looking at him. She wasn't in a hurry to see her brother or his wife at the moment. It wasn't her brother she really had the problem with. They got along great...as long as that woman wasn't around. She was always second best when she was there. It was why she had gotten her own apartment in the first place.

"But where do you live exactly?" she asked him curiously and returned the kiss.

"Near the Forest of Dean. You'll see. There's this niiice little village. Maybe you've been there?" he said quickly, opening the door and walking out before turning to allow her out. "I really missed you Ashling. You're the most important person in the world right now you know?"

"I've been to the Forest of Dean before." she replied smiling, "I think I was with you when I went. But I haven't been there in a while." she stood there in thought as she began to walk out of the door. She turned and locked it quickly. "I didn't know there was a village near there though."

She listened to him talk. He had actually called her Ashling. She couldn't remember him ever calling her that. Or Kiara...just Ash. Of course it was what she liked but she also liked the sound of Ashling from his lips. "Really?" she asked looking at him blushing. "You really mean that?"

"I mean it," Varod said, nodding as he kissed her lightly and lifted her up. Walking down the stairs, he walked across the street to an alleyway and pulled a broom from behind a dumpster. "This is how I got here."

With a nervous laugh remembering when he had showed Christy his house, he climbed onto the broom and settled her in front of him.

"Ready beautiful?"

She smiled and kissed him back laughing as he picked her up. She wrapped her arms around him as he carried her down the stairs, feeling a little funny as he did so just because she could walk, but happy none the less because he was holding her. She bit her lip nervously as he climbed on the broom and put her in front of him.

"Yeah." she said nervously. She had always been afraid of riding on brooms. She had no clue why but she had. She immediately turned herself around, wrapping herself about him and buried her face into his shoulder. "Just let me know when we get there ok."

Varod chuckled as he set off, stroking her hair with one hand as he flew in the direction of the forest. "It's okay. i won't let you fall. But don't pull your head up-I like the way this is."

Smiling, he bent his head into the wind over the forest. Dark trees nicked at his legs so he pulled up a little bit. Soon, however, he landed onto his usual patch of ground behind the house.

"Come on, it's done babe," he said gently.
