Scarlett took in a quick breath when he moved away from her mouth, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She smiled widely at his words and purred as he kissed her neck. "I love you Jeremiah, that never changed. No other lips shall ever touch these, I am yours and yours alone." She almost felt corny saying such things, but they were true and she needed him to know. She turned her head and dipped down to catch his lips again, pressing against them and then pulling away. "Ah, the things you do to me Jeremiah, I missed them so."

Jeremiah smiled and kissed her back softly. But he knew he had to tell her. He looked deep into her eyes. "Scarlett...there is something I need to tell you but I don't know how..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Something did happen to me that night....I was...I was made in a werewolf." He looked into her eyes, not breathing, waiting for her response.

Scarlett stilled completely at his words. She prepared herself for the worst. She was shocked at what he said and very nearly started to laugh. Until she realized he was serious. Her heart beat slowed considerably. "You're a....a werewolf? As in, you can turn yourself into a wolf at any moment you chose? As in you go crazy under a full moon? As in mythical creature that is apparently real." She knew he wouldn't lie to her about something like this, but she was still in shock. She placed her hands on either side of his face and let her thumbs brush his skin. "Are you....okay?"

Jeremiah sighed happily when she didn't freak. "Yes, I'm fine." He took both her hands into his and kissed both of them and then her lips. "I want you to be by my side forever...but I don't know what to do with a full moon. I can't handle myself. I could hurt you...or worse kill you. He looked down and closed his eyes, fighting back the tears. He could never hurt Scarlett...if he did...he would never forgive himself. He rested his head on her chest and sighed. "I love you, Scarlett. Now and for forever."

Scarlett cradled him against herself and shook her head. "Hush. We'll figure something out. Don't worry, you won't hurt me." She felt thrills run through her body when he said he loved her. She had known it all along but it always felt a million times better to hear the words spoken. "I love you too, and I will stay by your side for as long as you'll have me." She kissed his head and lifted his face so she could see his beautiful eyes. She pressed her cheek to his and wrapped her arms around him. "As long as we're together everything will be okay. I promise you that." She would do everything in her power to keep that promise.

Jeremiah smiled and held her tight. She was always so understanding. No wonder he was so in love with her. He looked deep into her eyes. "What are we gonna do? The full moon is in two days? His eyes glistened with tears. He couldn't lose her but he couldn't hurt her either. He closed his eyes and rested his head back on her chest. If she said they would work, he knew it was true.

Scarlett closed her eyes and tried to think. "Shhh, I'll think of something before then." She had no idea what she could come up with but she would find some way. "I don't want to have to cage you or anything. Maybe we can just drive you out to the middle of nowhere. Some place with lots of fluffy animals to distract you. There has to be something to do, how do other werewolves keep from hurting others?" She ran her hand up and down his back, trying to soothe him as she thought.

Jeremiah sighed and moved closer to her. He knew a way, but he could never do that to her. "I can hide in the forest. I always hunt there. You can stay home and I'll come to you when I'm...better." He said better because he thought of this as a disease. You couldn't cure it or control it. It controls you.

Scarlett nodded. "Okay, as long as you come back. Though I can't promise you that I won't worry about you all night." She shook her head, they had been down long enough. "Come on now, love. We've found each other again after so long, we should be celebrating and making the most of it, not worrying about what's to come." She pressed a kiss to his neck and pulled away. "Not to mention it's a little chilly out here."

Jeremiah smiled and got up, taking her hand and helping her up. She always knew how to make him smile. "My apartment may be small, but it has great heating." He grinned and wrapped his arm around her waist, leading her down the gazebo steps. He was happy to have her back. He wouldn't let her out of his sight, never again. [/font] |

Scarlett grinned and followed him out of the gazebo. "Oh heat sounds delicious right about now." She was back to being herself now and she snuggled close to him as they walked. "So, is there anything else I need to know about what's happened since I last saw you?" She played with the fingers on the hand around her waist and smiled, happy to be near him again.

He smiled and pulled her closer to him, kissing the side of her head. "Well, um, I'm a writer. I write poetry books and for the newspaper. Not a great paying job but it pays the bills." He smiled as he said so. He couldn't help but smile. He had his love back. He walked her up to his apartment, got out his key and unlock the door. "Welcome to what I call home." He took her jacket and hung up. [/font] |

Scarlett gasped, suitably impressed. "A writer, of poetry. I always knew you had it in you. My sweet, sweet poet. I've always wanted to be able to say I was in love with a poet. Now I can." She grinned and examined his home. "It may be tiny, but it's perfect for you." She let him take her jacket and sighed, leaning against a wall. "Warmth, it is so lovely to have warmth." She looked at him and reached out her hands, "Shall you give me the ten cent tour now?"

He laughed and smiled."I guess you can say you are." He planted a big kiss on her lips before taking her hand. He led her into the kitchen which was on the right."This is the kitchen. Not that big, but big enough for me." He led her out of the kitchen and into the living room. He had a couch, a small love seat, and a decent size tv. "Told ya it pays the bills." He winked and laughed. He skipped the bathroom. Not that important. The last thing he showed her was the bedroom. It had a great view of the city. A soft queen sized bed and a desk in the corner, where he writes his poetry. "Well, this is my little home." [/font] |

Scarlett smiled as she followed him through the apartment, she made no comments, simply looked. When they made it to the bedroom she looked around and turned to him. "It's perfect. I don't think I could have imagined you anywhere else." She walked over to enjoy the view before turning to him once more. "You've managed to get yourself a fine little slice of life Jeremiah. I'm so happy for you." She blushed slightly as she realized that she was standing in his bedroom, something that hadn't exactly happened often in her life.
