"Whats for dinner? I'm starved!" Markus yelled, "Will you sit down and be quiet!" Samantha Rose hollered at him from across the table.
The dinner was a large roast, with potatoes, and for desert a wonderful, chocolate pie.
After dinner, the children said goodnight to their father, and to Melinda and followed Katrina to their rooms, Lazarus still sat at the table, silently, Melinda looked up at him and couldn't look away, he smiled and asked, "Would you like to see the gardens? They are extrordinary at night." She snapped out of her daydream, "Oh yes, I would love to."
She followed him out of the dining room, into the hallway, he offered her his hand, she took it without any thought, they walked out into the gardens, "Wow, This is beautiful."
Lazarus looked at her, "Thats not the only thing out here thats beautiful," Melinda blushed, "You're far prettier than any flower." He sat down on the grass, "Care to join me." She realized she was still holding his hand, she nodded, and he pulled her down with him. She lost her ballance and fell right on top of him, blushing when she realized that she had fallen. He kept his arms around her, "Sorry, I guess I pulled you a bit too hard." He said with a smirk on his face, She blushed again, "It's alright." He looked at her, "You know I havn't been able to keep my eyes off you all day, what is it about you?" She sighed, "I was going to ask you the same thing, I hardly know you yet, I want to be close to you."
He gently kissed her, She melted, and as soon as the kiss had happened, it was over, she lay there in his arms, and fell asleep.
When she woke up she realized she was in her bed, she stretched, and realized much to her surprise, that Lazarus was asleep next to her. She looked around, she was wrong she was not in her bed at all, she was in his, she looked over at him, so peaceful, she sighed and went back to sleep.
