Sorry about not uploading last Sunday, I have been having some writer's block and didn't want to upload a chapter I wasn't happy with. Anyways, hope you enjoy this week! :)

"Holly?! Gally?! What are you doing in here?" We awoke to the loud voice of Alby who had just discovered us curled up on the floor of the gathering hut

"Holly?! Gally?! What are you doing in here?" We awoke to the loud voice of Alby who had just discovered us curled up on the floor of the gathering hut. "Do you know what? I don't care, just get up and go off and do your jobs." I help Holly up and walk with her to the kitchen. On the way she slips her hand into mine, her touch feels amazing. I smile down at her and give her hand a light squeeze. When we get to the kitchen Holy tries to walk away but my hand is still clasped in hers. She looks up at me and giggles.

"Gally? I think you've forgotten something" She looks down at our still intertwined hands.

I look at her amused face and say innocently with a big grin on my face. "What is it? I can't think of anything"

"You're going to have to let go of me Gally, I need to go make breakfast."

"Okay Bambi, have a good day, don't burn yourself or do anything stupid." I let go of her hand.

"I won't." She gets on her tiptoes and gives me a quick peck on the lips before skipping into the kitchen. I let out a small chuckle and walk away to find the other builders. Once I find them, I let them know that we will be building Holly her own hut and bathroom. We go over and collect the supplies from this week's supply crate and begin building her hut. We decide to build it between the homestead and the gathering hut, far enough away so she can have her own space but not too far away from the safety of the open glade. Before building, we draw a rough blueprint and sort out our building materials. This hut has to be perfect for Holly. I decide to give her a ceiling that opens so that she can stargaze at night or cloud watch as I know she likes doing that. I can see the builders getting tired, so I send a couple off to get us some lunch and we take a quick break. We quickly eat our lunch and then get back to the building. After a long day, the hut is finished shortly after another quick break for dinner. I leave the builders to finish the last couple of things and go and find Alby to seek his approval. When he sees it, he looks impressed.

"The builders and I have finished Holly's hut. We haven't quite mastered the plumbing for her bathroom so that is still a work in progress, but she should be able to move in today." Alby nods appreciatively and thanks all of the builders.

"Shall I go and get Holly, or would you prefer to show her?" Alby asks.

"I'd like to do it if that's okay."

"Off you go then, I've got other work to do." I walk into the middle of the glade and look around for her. I see her in the distance, talking to Newt in the gardens and I walk quickly over to meet her hoping she hasn't spotted it yet. Her face lights up when she sees me and she runs over and gives me a huge hug. She snuggles her head into my chest, and I melt at her touch. I wrap my arms around her and pull her into my body. I'll never get tired of the feeling of her body on mine.

"I've missed you, you didn't come and eat lunch with the others. One of the builders just came and got food for you all and then left. I thought I'd at least see you at dinner but the same thing happened as lunch."

"I know, I'm sorry we were just really busy. Hey, listen, I have something I want to show you." She comes out of the hug and looks up at me excitedly.

"Ooh what is it?" She sounds like a child being offered sweeties.

"You're just going to have to trust me. Close your eyes, I'm going to take you." She closes her eyes and I pick her up bridal style. She shrieks in surprise and happiness and I walk with her in my arms to her new hut. I put her down in front of the hut and tell her to open her eyes.

"Wow, this is beautiful! Why did you want to show me it though Gally?" She turns around to face me.

"It's yours." I say with a huge smile. I'm so glad she likes it. Her jaw drops and she starts jumping up and down.

"Oh my god, really?" I nod at her and give her the key to her new hut. She runs up the few stairs to the front door and unlocks it. Before I can follow her, she's already inside looking around. I walk in to see her sprawled out on her new bed. "My own space, I even have a bathroom. Oh my god, a proper bed Gally! Not a hammock! How did you manage that?" I lie down on my back on the bed next to her.

"I put a note in the supply box and the creators must have seen it. The bathroom isn't quite finished yet so you'll still have to use the ones in the homestead for a while. We've put a lock and a door on one of the showers for you though. Did you see what that pully over there does?" She shakes her head and tugs at it revealing the skylight.

"Wow, Gally! This truly is the best thing ever, I love you!" Wait did I just hear that right? She loves me?

"What did you just say?" She smiles at me with a knowing grin.

"Oh, I just said 'Wow Gally! this truly is the best thing ever'"

"No after that?" She gets back on the bed and hovers over me. Her head goes to the side of my head and I can feel her hot breath on my ear.

"Oh, right, I think I said that I. Love. You." She says, her voice full of happiness. I wrap my arms around her and sit up. She moves her legs so that they are hanging around my sides. Our faces are barely touching. I look into her gorgeous green eyes and then at her full pink lips. I connect our lips and kiss her so passionately. When the kiss starts getting heated, I pull away. She looks at me confused. "I need to tell you something." She keeps looking at me, but a smile starts to creep onto her face. "I love you too, I always have Bambi."
