Valentine's Day Ball: The Grounds

Feb 15, 2006 13:26

The grounds of Ringmore Suites extend quite far, for all that it is centered in Tamarind. The gardens are seperated by low box hedges, carefully trimmed into perfect rectangular shapes. The closest garden to the hotel is a formal affair, an English garden with perfect geometic shapes bordered by perfect stone paths. In the chill of late winter, ( Read more... )

Phoebe had been wandering and when she found her way to the Japanese Garden, her face lit into a smile. Sanctuary.

An eerily familiar figure sits on a low bench, contemplating the stones as cigarette smoke curls around him in faint blue tendrils.

Phoebe stops, tilting her head. When she's sure, she smiles and goes to stand near him.

"Still the flashest demon I've ever seen..."

"Hello, pet." the smile is evident in his voice, and he turns slowly toward her. "Didn't know you were here now. Haven't seen you in a decade."

"It's been a long time, dearest." She moves closer and puts a hand on his shoulder. "A decade for you? It's only been five years for me. Happy to see me?"

"As always, dove.

If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two ;
Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th' other do.

You've always come to me, witch. I'd like to think it's not our agreement, but that oft mentioned fondness you have for me."

He speaks softly, affectionately almost, and reaches his hand out to her.

"And though it in the centre sit,
Yet, when the other far doth roam,
It leans, and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home."

Phoebe takes his hand. "I always will, and you're correct. It's not the agreement, but indeed the fondness I have had for you. I would have come soner, but the being on the run puts a dampener in plans."

"Witch, didn't I tell you? Nothing hurts my girl..." he bends to kiss her knuckles, lingering for just a moment as the Grace within her warms his lips. He takes none, vacation rules and all, but it doesn't mean he can't dally.

Phoebe smiles and runs a hand through his hair once.

"I know and I still believe you, Ant---dearest." She isn't sure how much has changed between them, or if she can still call him the things she used to. "Might I get a hug?"

"You may have anything your heart desires, lover. Even now I think you can feel safe with me...and my name."

Rising from the bench, he wraps his arms around her and pulls her close. His hips jut forward and rub against her as his fingertips trail down her spine.

"Would you like a kiss too, sweetness?"

"Of course... it has been a long time." Phoebe makes a soft sound and then smiles up into his face. She hugs him.

"I have missed you, Anthony," she says softly.

Holding her again, after so very long...the last time he saw her she...

don't think about that demon, she's here now. no use questioning the Ineffable.

"Oh, Phoebe, how I've longed for you." He drops his mouth against hers, kissing her with reserved passion, the tip of his tongue flicking lightly against her lips as he holds her tighter.

Phoebe hugs him to her. It had been five years and the last time...

...she shakes her head inwardly. She isn't going to question anything that she sees or feels right now.

"Never forgot about you," she says softly.

"I've never forgotten you, darling girl. First among wives, mother to my..." he shakes his head to clear the thought.

"Still so beautiful...and I'm still a wicked liar."

She smiles and strokes his cheek.

"What are you lying about tonight?"
