Jeremiah walked down the streets of London. It was very late but that's what he wanted, alone time. He grabbed some coffee from a late night cafe. He sipped on it every now and than. He kept walking, letting the steam from the coffee warm his face. He could feel his lips turning blue. He walked faster, which didn't really help, just made the wind blow harder. He came to a park and saw a small gazebo. It's not home but at least its covered. He sat on a bench in the gazebo, drinking his coffee, and watching the few people pass by.

Scarlett practically bounced along despite the cold, it was just the kind of person she was. No matter what was going on around her she tried to keep her manner pleasant and bubbly. And most of the time she succeeded. As she continued to bounce along through the park, she wrapped her jacket closer to her. She looked up to see a gazebo in the distance. She loved gazebo's, always had.
She sighed and headed that way. When she was nearly there she sniffed the air and noticed a distinct coffee smell. She smiled, she could meet someone new. She just loved that. She climbed the steps to the gazebo and opened her mouth to introduce herself, but stopped dead when she saw the person sitting on the bench.

Jeremiah continued sipping his coffee, the wind getting colder. He looked around and saw a young woman walking this way. She looked very happy and bubbly. It made him smile. Happiness is all he asks for everyone. He looked away and sipped his coffee. He turned when he heard someone come up the gazebo's stairs. He turned to face them and froze when he saw their face. No...it...it can't be... he thought.

Scarlett moved closer slowly and let her eyes roam his face, taking in every detail. She was literally seeing a ghost. "Jeremiah?" She asked, her voice utterly soft, bearly audible. Her eyes burned as tears threatened and she moved closer, reaching out a hand. She had to touch him, see if he was really there. "Is it really you?" It couldn't possibly be, it had to be someone that looked like him, Jeremiah had died that night. She had never made checked but the blood she'd seen, she'd been sure.

Jeremiah just started at the girl. He was frozen to his seat. He breathed in her scent. She was wearing the perfume he bought he for her last birthday. It was her. "Scarlett..." He took her hand in his and kissed it softly. He brushed where he kissed than looked back up at her. "I...I thought I had lost you." He raised his other hand to her face and laid it on her cheek. She was still as beautiful as the day he met her.

Scarlett trembled at his kiss and his touch. "Oh god, it is you." At her words a few tears managed to leak out of her eyes. "Jeremiah...I thought I'd lost you too. Oh, Jeremiah." She pressed close and wrapped her arms around him, pressing her face into his chest and breathing in the scents that made him himself, though something seemed a little off. She dismissed the thought. "What happened? How are you still here?" She asked, pulling away just enough that she could look at his face, but keeping her arms firmly wrapped around him. She was terrified he might disappear again.

Jeremiah wrapped one of his arms around her waist and used the other hand to run his fingers through her hair. He kissed her tears away and held her close. He hesitated when she asked him what happened. I can't tell her, not now. "I was able to get away. Sirens scared them off. I took Jewel and I ran home. But I left after that, felt too guilty for Jewel's death." He buired his face in her neck.

Scarlett shook her head. "You shouldn't feel guilty...it was my fault." She looked down at the ground and more tears threatened. "I tried to save her and I ended up getting her killed. You were trying to save both of us. I ran for help, but when I came back I saw blood where you'd been." Her entire body shook at the memory. "I thought you had died, it looked like so much blood." She looked at him with haunted eyes, hoping he wouldn't hate her for what she'd done, given up too easily.

"No, no." He wiped the tears from her face. "Don't ever say it was your fault. You fought to protect her but they were just too strong." He put her head on his chest and kissed the top of her head. "I just, got stabbed, on my neck. That's where all the blood came from and Jewel wasn't that great herself." He squeezed her lightly, so happy to have her back in his arms.

Scarlett sniffed lightly and pressed herself against him again. "I'm so happy you're okay, all this time the only thing I could dream about was you. I kept thinking I saw you everywhere I went." She laughed slightly. "Which now, is entirely possible." She pressed her lips to his neck, the only thing she could reach from this position, just wanting to feel him again. She sighed joyously, hoping against hope that this wasn't a dream.

Jeremiah held her close. He didn't want to ever have to let go of her ever again. "You were always on my mind. I didn't know if you were alive or dead. Jeremiah lifted up her head and kissed her long and soft on the lips. Something he had wanted to do for a long long time. As he pulled away, he helped her up. "Are you staying anywhere? I have a small apartment near here."

Scarlett met his lips with her own and whimpered slightly when he pulled away. She hadn't wanted the kiss to end. "I'm sorry I worried you." She nodded at his question. "I live in my aunt's shop, but I'd much rather be with you." She smiled up at him. "Kiss me again please." The contact from before had not been nearly enough, she wanted another and another. The love she had tried so hard to forget was rising inside her again, this was her Jeremiah and he was back in her life.

Jeremiah smiled, put his hand on the back of her head, and pulled her in for another kiss. He closed his eyes and pulled her closer. The softness of her lips sending a shiver up his spine. His mind was flooding with memories. He had his Scarlett and he couldn't lose her not again. He deepened the kiss, pulling her as close as she could get.

Scarlett wrapped her arms around him, allowing him to pull her as close as he cared to. Her lips pressed fervently against his and one hand drifted up into his hair, which was just as soft as she remembered. Her lips opened as she let out a soft moan. No one's lips had touched hers since the night Jewel died, and those lips had been Jeremiah's as well. She'd had so many offers but she had never taken any of them. She could only hope he'd been as true. She pushed these thoughts away and focused on his lips.

Jeremiah kept kissing her, his hand running through her hair. He smiled slightly when he heard her moan. He moved his lips down, kissing her cheek and neck. "You were my first and only kiss, Scarlett. And it will always be like that." He whispered in her ear. He kissed her neck softly.
