Dark and His Queen

Confession

Sitting at breakfast drinking coffee, Laura was trying to figure out how to broach the subject of Jack. "Hey Daaaark?" Laura sang, swinging her feet like a little kid. "Yes?" "I have to talk to you about something, but I don't want you getting upset. Can you do that for me?" "I make no promises." "Ugh, fine I won't tell you then." "Alright, alright. I will try not to get upset." "Ok, so yesterday I was playing with my gift, the mirror you gave me, and I saw something. Mark had a guest. It was Jack." Dark sat up giving her his undivided attention. "So, I kind of teleported there to confront him." "You did what?" Dark's voice started to raise. "No getting upset now, remember? It looked like they were fighting so I went to see what was happening. Jack was pretty much freaking out about the art gallery. He was convinced he could stop us. I talked him down. I even made Anti promise to stop tormenting him if Jack would stop this quest to destroy us. Jack agreed. It took some work but I got him to calm down. Anti said he would keep an eye on him." "So, Anti knew about this as well and you are just telling me now. He didn't say anything either?" "I asked him not to. Last night was so perfect. Showing you that I could teleport, our time in the park, our dance in the ball room and then the fun we had after. I didn't want to ruin that with this. I knew this was going to upset you." Dark huffed because he knew she was right. "We have to keep an eye on Mark as well." He stated. "I can do that, but I am not worried about him at all." Laura could see that Dark was more relaxed and she sighed knowing that he wasn't going to do anything crazy. Laura cleaned off the table and kissed Dark on the cheek. "I am going to work out. Do you want to join?" "Sure." Once they changed they both headed to the gym. Laura got on the treadmill like always and Dark took the one next to her. Laura turned it on and started walking. Dark turned his on but set the speed a bit faster. Laura smirked and upped her speed. They went back and fourth until they were both running at top speed. They were going so fast that the machine blew its motor and smoke came billowing out from under the belt. Dark laughed whole heartedly. Laura stared at him. "What?" He asked. "I think that is the first time I have ever heard you really laugh. "Well you bring out a side of me that I didn't know was in there." Laura smiled genuinely. "Come on, that is enough working out for one day. Let's hit the showers." Laura suggested. "Now that sounds like a wonderful idea." "I figured you would like that." "You know me so well." "That I do."
