Sunday, January 13th, 8:15 am, Elise's apartment....

Elise hummed softly as she turned the bacon on stove. Henry rubbed up against her legs, purring. "Aww, Henry, you'll get some as soon as it's cooked." She bent down and patted the kitten.

"Good morning."

She looked up and smiled. Virgil stood in the bedroom doorway, a towel slung around his neck. He wore his pants from last night, but was barefoot and his hair was damp from his shower. "Good morning."

He walked over and kissed her, then turned his attention to the stove. "Bacon? You're making me breakfast?"

She laughed. "Bacon and eggs. And there's coffee on the counter."

"I may never leave." Virgil padded over to the cupboard and took down two mugs. He filled them with coffee and handed one to her. She added milk and sugar, then nodded for him to sit down at the table.

"Go ahead, this is nearly ready."

He sat down, keeping a wary eye on Henry, who in turn was watching back. Virgil shook his head and laughed to himself. He then looked up to watch Elise finish cooking. She wore a thin white robe and her blonde hair fell loosely down her back. She took a piece of bacon from the pan and tossed it from hand to hand until it cooled, then smiling, knelt down and fed it to the kitten. She talked baby talk to the little cat, who looked up at her in adoration.

What is it about her? Virgil thought to himself as he sipped his coffee. She completes me somehow. Like there was some part of my life missing, that I never realized until I met her. It's more than just attraction. Much more. He smiled as she crouched, still talking to the kitten. Then it hit him. My God...Now it makes sense. Should I? He took a deep breath. What the hell. "Elise?" She looked up. "I love you."

She stared at him in shock. "You...what?"

Feeling like a huge weight had lifted from his heart, Virgil walked over and pulled her to her feet. "I love you." He kissed her and spun her around in his arms. "You know, I never knew how wonderful it felt to say that to someone."

"But, Virgil..."

He silenced her with a kiss. "Elise, I've never felt like this with anyone before. You're smart, witty, beautiful." He kissed her again. "And all mine!"

Elise shook her head. "Virgil...I don't know what to say..."

"Then don't say anything." He rested his forehead on hers. "You don't have to say it back. Just know that I mean it. I love you."

She pulled back and walked over to stand in front of the doors, watching the sun glint off the waves. "I've never felt this way either," she said softly. "I never thought I could." She turned to face him and smiled. "I guess that means, I love you, too!" She laughed. "You're right. It is a wonderful feeling!" She jumped into his arms, kissing him. Within a heartbeat, the kiss turned from friendly to steamy. She broke apart and took his hand, leading him back to the bedroom. "I think you're going to need another shower."

98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
