The Fog

Chapter 15

I looked in a mirror in the hallway before I walk down the stairs. I loved this dress it shows my curves and shows off my scar perfectly. Over the past several days I had come to love my scar, it symbolized what I had been through and who I was. I take one final look in the mirror and start walking down the stairs into the dinning room. Immediately I see Michael and we lock eyes, I smile as I finish descending down the stairs.

"Wow you look gorgeous," he says as he kisses my hand. I blush and chuckle at his gesture.

"Not so bad yourself fine sir." I say with a terrible British accent. I fix his bow tie and he puts his arm out and I take it. He leads me down the table to our seats, he pulls out my chair for me and I sit down and he pushes my chair back in. He sits in the chair next to me on my left and smiles looking me up and down again.

"You really do look beautiful." He whispers in my ear. He then puts his hand on the inside of my left thigh. I look around thinking someone would notice but everyone was engulfed in their conversations with each other. After a couple minutes the food comes and it's layed out like a huge feast. Before we can start though Ethan stands up with his wine glass.

"Let's make a toast, to Michael and Elizabeth! Happy hunting!" With that everyone raises their glasses and toast to me and Michael. Me and Michael toast and I give him a quick kiss. I then pile food onto my plate and than begin to eat.

"What's that," Michael asks pointing to the pile of sweet potato casserole on my plate.

"They're sweet potatoes, here try it." I take a spoonful of the casserole and lift it up, he leans forward and eats it.

"Oh that's good," he says as he puts some on his plate. We have a nice dinner with everyone asking us questions like where we will start and if we need any help. We appreciated the support but we didn't have that much of a plan really, we were gonna travel around and fight any monsters we found. We finish dinner and I was going to help clean up but everyone told us they had it handled and that we should head to bed as we were leaving early in the morning and it was already pretty late. Me and Michael walk to his room hand in hand.

"So are you exited," he asks me with a smirk on his face.

"For what," I respond completely confused.

"To travel with me, just me and you, defeating monsters." Turning around and walking backwards looking at me.

"Of course I am, who wouldn't want to kill monsters with their boyfriend." I pull him to me and kiss him. We arrive at his room and walk in. I go over to his dresser and start taking off my jewelry and heels. I then walk into the bathroom and take my hair down. I walk back into the bedroom and see Michael has taken off his suit jacket, shoes, and was now struggling to get his bow tie off.

"Here lemme help." I walk over to him and help him remove his tie. "Hey can you untie this," I say pointing to the bow that was on the back of my dress. He untied it and I went to the closet and finished taking the dress off. I walk out of the closet in just my underwear.

"Do you plan on sleeping like that," he says walking over to me.

"I'm going to take a shower silly, who knows the next time I'll get one." I walk over to his dresser and pull out a pair of my shorts and a crop top and walk into the bathroom. I start the water and grab a towel from under the counter. I look and see Michael in the doorway shirtless.

"Can I help you I ask," as I finish undressing and getting in the shower.

"Yeah I need a shower too, so do I have to wait till you're finished or can I join you." He asks me.

"It's your choice," I say shampooing my hair. With that he finished undressing and hops in the shower with me. We shower and then get dressed for bed. I get in bed and Michael comes and joins me a couple minutes later.

"Are you gonna put a shirt on or do you have a thing against shirts?" I ask.

"I worked too hard getting these abs not to show them off." He chuckles and kisses my forehead. I roll over to my side and he wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him so my back is right against his bare chest. We soon fall asleep. Tomorrow we start hunting down the creatures of the fog.
