"Don't Vash...lets not start it again" she said standing. "Come on I'll show you to my apartment, it's through the park" she said. Vash frowned and followed. They walked the short distance in silent. Each trying and hoping that a whole on the ground would just swallow them up. They neared a small apartment building going up to about 8 floors. "I live there, because you can at least see some green when you look out the window" she said as she pushed open the door and walked inside. They got on to the elevator, another 2 minuets of cheesy music, and then they were on the 6th floor. "This is my apartment" she said as she unlocked the door and it opened to a cream colored wall of the hall way, the walls held painting and picture frames the ceiling had a small simple yet elegant lighting system. Vash stepped in and Meryl after him closing the door. Vash walked forward and entered a fairly large room which had walls of an ivory color with white roses as border, the room was full with beautiful creamy white sofa, a 'love' seat right next to it, and a chair across from the love seat, in the center of the whole seats was a glass table, which held a patter filled with dried flowers. [AN: potpourri is the dried flower with pretty colors and smells nice] Ivory vintage lace jacquard panels and scarf over them on the big windows that looked in to the small park they had just past. The room contained other items, But all in all it was an orderly and beautiful place just like the owner. "It's a nice place" he said. "Thanks" said Meryl hanging her cape on the hook. Vash looked around, the room was filled with picture of her and Milly, and her, and others that he didn't know.
Those pictures started to bring questions about her past and about her life. Come to think of it he didn't know who Meryl Stryfe was when it all came down to it. He knew her as the insurance girl, and that was all. Meryl watched as he looked around. She smiled. This place was so big in her eyes, just perfect for two people to share, she was here all that was missing was standing in front of her yet she was afraid to grasp it. Meryl shook her head and walked in to the kitchen. She felt silly, and she felt like she was back to the beginning, struggling to tell him that she cared. She looked around and then at the clock which read 3:30. Again time was running a marathon with her time with him. She stood frozen for a minute before she started to take some items out to make Vash dinner. Vash finally noticed that Meryl wasn't in the room with him, and heard noise coming from the what he assume was the kitchen. He walked in to the kitchen to see her busy with cutting up something and humming to herself as she did. Vash would have laughed if he wasn't in love with this woman, she was perfect in situation you threw at her. A house wife, a mother, an insurance girl, a body guard, anything. But the horrible truth was she just couldn't be Meryl.
************************************************************************ *********************************
Meryl turned and saw Vash standing behind her. She let lose a small smile. "I was just starting on dinner" she informed him. Vash nodded as he looked around the kitchen that was neat and clean like the rest of the place. "This is very nice place you have" he said again as if he didn't know what else to say. "You should go and wash up" said Meryl. "Yeah" said Vash. "The bathroom-" before Meryl could finish. Vash shook his head. "Can you just show me, I had enough directions for one day" he said remembering the man at the INFORMATION desk. Meryl giggled and took his hand as if he was a child and lead him throw the hall and in to one of the doors that was there. She opened the door to a blue colored walls, with the usual things in the bathroom only this was 'pretty' and clean. "There. Was that so hard?" she asked. Vash pouted "I don't appreciate you making fun of me" he said, Meryl smiled and nodded. "I'm sorry what will make up for it?" she asked. "How about joining me for a shower" he said. Meryl stared at his eyes for a moment before she smiled. "Nice try" she said and walked back towards the kitchen. Vash smiled and walked in to the bathroom.
Meryl walked in to the kitchen and started to work on the dinner once more. She blushed at the thought, but then all went black, as if every time she lit the candle reality would blow it away. Meryl stopped for a second and stood there staring at the wall. Was she really happy? The short time she spent with him today was the best in two years, yet she still had doubts. The door bell ringing snapped Meryl out of her thought. She walked towards the door. "Who is it she called" as she opened the door. "It's me" said the deep voice of the chief. "Jonathan?" She asked. "I wanted to know if you were all right" he said. "I'm fine why wouldn't I be?" she asked already knowing the reason. "You left so early..." he said. "Oh" was all she could say. The day was filled with awkward silences for Meryl. "Hey Meryl do you have an extra towel for my head?" he asked. Meryl turned towards the direction of the bathroom. "Yeah, hold on" she yelled back. "Why don't you come in" she said. The chief nodded and walked in closing the door behind him. Meryl pulled out a towel from the closet and walked towards the bathroom. The chief heard a small yelp, and laughter afterwards. "You broom headed idiot!" yelled Meryl as she walked in to the living room with a small blush and a smile. "Something smells nice" said Jonathan. "Yeah, I just started on dinner" said Meryl. "Oh, I didn't know you could cook" he said. "I don't do it much but...would you like to stay for dinner?" she asked.
*She treats me like a guest, she doesn't treat me like the man that wants to spend the rest of his life with her* he thought. "Jonathan about this morning..." started Meryl. "No, you were right I was pushing you...I shouldn't have" he said. "No...I shouldn't have said what I said" she whispered. The chief smiled at her "I always thought of you as wonder woman Meryl, you could do anything...and everything a man could do, and still be a woman" he said. "Jonathan" she said again. "I would love to stay for dinner, but I promised my niece that I would take her and her friends to some fun park" he said getting up. "Sorry about lunch" said Meryl. "Don't worry, we can go some other time" he said. Meryl nodded. He walked out the door thinking how happy she was at that very moment, but it wasn't him that brought it out. Meryl looked down at her hand, she knew she was being selfish but she was so lost. Vash who had been listing to the whole conversation knew exactly how she felt, and that brought both pain, and doubt in to his head. He watched as she set the small table for two. Her body there, but her mind somewhere else. She let out a small sigh as she stopped for a moment to look down at the items in her hand. "Need any help?" asked Vash. "Huh? Oh I'm almost done" she said. "You know you don't have to do everything by yourself" he whispered. "Don't I?" she asked.
Vash sat and watched as she at everything down, he knew she was a great cook, the smell and the look told it all. "This looks great" he said as he took spoon full. Meryl sat across from him, a small smile at her lips as her eyes watched him. Vash stopped to look at her. "Aren't you going to eat?" he asked. "I will, I just want to watch you" she said. Vash smiled and then his eyes gave off the goofy smile. "Now, Now I feel self conscious" he said. Meryl growled and started on her own food. The rest of the meal went like that, after half hour of devouring everything, Vash sat and watched as Meryl took all the dishes in to the kitchen. Her hands reached for the desert plate when Vash chuckled. "What?" she asked. "I forgot how good you cooked" he said. Meryl found herself tremble as if she was a China about to fall from a shelf and break. "Meryl..." Vash said as he watched her. "Don't..." she whispered as she pulled her hands to her side. Vash stood and was about to hold her when she backed away. "Meryl?" he asked. "Don't stand there and smile at me...I can't take it" she whispered as she backed up against a wall. Vash walked towards her. "Meryl..." he whispered. "Your breaking me in Vash, I'm letting myself hope" she said. "Is it so bad to hope?" he asked placing his hand to her cheek. "It is if your Meryl Stryfe" she said.
Vash wiped the tears that stained her face. "Meryl I'm here" he said. "Your here now, but what about later?" she asked pulling him close. "I need you all the time Vash, I'm weak" she said. "No, your not Meryl" he said. "No, I am and I'm selfish" she said. "Meryl" he whispered. "All day all I could think of was how I wanted to just hold you and kiss you, how handsome your smile was, if you keep it up...I'll lose control" she said. "And what if you do lose control, will it be that bad" he ask stroking her hair. Now centimeters away from his lips. "Yes," she said, before Vash closed the space between them. Meryl wrapped her hand around his neck pulling him as close as it gets, tasting him, feeling his touch...
