Love of the Killer

title of your story

Merrins POV

I kissed Tsarria half expecting her to punch me like she did Mark especially since one of my hands was on the back of her head. Nothing happened so I kept my eyes closed, even when I released her. I held her close holding her head against my chest.

"Merrin?" I heard her muffled voice and let her go."Yes?" I answered.

"Do you love me?" she asked timid again.

"Do you?" I asked.

"I do love you Merrin."

"I love you too Tsarria."

She looked up at me with wide eyes. "Really? Merrin how long-"

"Since you showed up on my door step." 

"Since you let me in your home."

I ran my hand through my hair and laughed nervously. "So I guess I have permission...."

Tsarria smiles and hugs me again, "you always did."

I leaned down and kissed he again longer this time and she kissed me back. All I had ever wanted I saw in Tsarria. She had an underlying confidence, and the ability to be independent, but most of all was her acceptance and trust. She accepted me and she trusted me, she let me see the worst side of her and I was thankful for that. The only thing that worried me now was Derrick.

She pulled away at what I felt was far too soon but, I realized that any time would be too soon for me.

"We should probably get back," she said "Derrick might come looking we've been gone for almost a whole day."

" He has no way of reaching the city but you have a point I'm usually never gone this long." I said opening the passenger side door for her. She got in and I drove us home. When we walked through the front door we were greeted with an agitated and thoroughly annoyed Derrick.

"What took you so damn long! I called you cell three times."

I checked my cell, it was off. i turned it on. "I see, three voice mails, sorry phone was off."

"Of course I dont blame you Tsarria," Derrick  said turning to her, "Mer always loses track of time."

"I do not!" I protested. Tsarria just laughed, I realized that was the first time she had laughed and I loved her laugh.

"Your laugh is wonderful dear." Derrick said. I started, what was he doing? Did he also want Tsarria? I whatched to see what would happen next. Derrick pulled her in to a bear hug and I spoke up.

"Derrick can I speak with you please, alone."   

"Sure thing," we leave and go to another room.

"Derrick, Tsarria and I-well...we kinda...I mean we are..and...well...."

"Spit it out Mer!"

"wearetogetheranddateing."

"Im sorry, what?"

"W-we are thogether and ... well... dateing." I say slowly.
