Finally a home~ Private

Quote: "But it's the middle of the night." she said. "Why are you going to take a shower?"

Joshua chuckled. "Eh..I need to cool off. Wanna join me?" he asked, not in any perverse way but maybe as a truce. He wanted to get as close as he used to be with Marley of course.

Marley smiled shaking her head. Usually she would jump at the chance to shower with him, but this time she decilned. "I already took a shower today."

Joshua nodded, sighing. "Alright, I'll be back." he smiled, leaving the room. Max soon came into the room, barking and jumping on the bed. He looked at Marley, wanting to be pet and such, just as any dog would.

Marley smiled at her dog and spread her legs, letting Max sit between them so she could pet him. She could tell that Joshua was disapointed. But, this was such a sudden change in so many ways and she wanted to take things slow.

Joshua wasn't really all that disappointed. It wasn't a big deal. After around fifteen minutes, he came back in, all dressed in black shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt. Sitting beside Marley, he rubbed Max's head. He didn't know much to say except to be beside her. He didn't want to push it.

"Would you go to marrige counsling with me? like, do you think thats a good idea?" She asked.

Joshua looked over at Marley and stared. Counseling? Wow, that was the last thing he'd want to hear. "Uh..sure. Might as well, right?" he asked, shrugging and laying against the pillows. "So..will you be sleeping here tonight?" he asked.

She nodded, laying down next to him, letting Max lay his head on her thigh. "You are my husband still." She said softly. "We just really need to work on things."

"Yeah, I agree." he muttered, hugging Marley close. Max whimpered as he rested his head over her thighs. "Let's hope counseling doesn't backfire." Joshua mumbled mostly to himself.

She looked up at him. "What do you mean?" she asked, her accent making her voice sound really sexy with it coming through loud and clear.

Joshua blushed as he heard Marley's accent come through so clearly. "Just..that it doesn't make us go farther apart." he said, looking away and sighing. Why the hell did she have to be so appealing?

She looked at him. "What's wrong?" She asked, confused why he looked away. She thought he liked her accent, that's why she was letting it show so strongly. This is how she sounded when she wasn't trying to hide it.

Joshua sighed, looking back at Marley. "Your accent makes it hard for me to not kiss you and..stuff." he mumbled, looking down at the covers as he pulled them over himself and her.

She chuckled. "I can hide it if you want me to. Or... you can go ahead and kiss me. If you do things like that... We may not have to go to councling."

Joshua raised a brow and looked at Marley questioningly. Was this a test or a mind game? He chuckled, smiling a bit. "What's that supposed to mean?" he asked, leaning in a bit closer.

"It means that I want you to show me that you love me. That's our whole problem... We're drifting because we're either loosing our love for each other, or we don't show it." she said. "If you start showing it, if you start letting me be a part of your life again, then things will get better."

Joshua blinked, but sighed. As Marley went on, he then started to get the hang of it. So he stopped showing her that he loved her? "Well..then tell me, what can I do?" he asked, grinning a little as he was now an inch away from kissing her.

"You can show me that you love me." She said, moving her face only a little closer to him.

"Will do." Joshua smiled, kissing Marley softly, caressing her cheek and pulling her closer to him.

She tangled her legs with his and licked his lips, wrapping her arms around his neck.

((lol... this kiss should be ruined somehow.))

((I know XD))

Joshua sighed, deepening their kiss and pressing against her. But as things began getting more passionate, a scream was heard from the kitchen. "Ah! Oh my god, a freaking tarantula!?" Elizabeth squealed, calling for Joshua. "Oh my god are you serious?" he hissed, nuzzling her neck and growling.

"Either we need to move out or your dad needs to come back." she sighed, running her fingers through his hair. She heard his mom scream again and pulled away. "I'll be here when you get back, go take care of the spider for you mum."

((That was evil XD))

Joshua grunted, sighing. Biting his lip, he got off the bed and ran out of the room. Going downstairs, he sighed. Seeing the small spider in the corner of the kitchen and trapped between the stove and fridge, he walked over and grabbed a broom to get it out. His mother already was on the couch, shuddering even. It wasn't even a tarantula! "It's just a small spider, mom. God." he muttered, getting the spider out to the backyard with the broom. Afterward, saying goodnight to his mom, he rushed back upstairs. "Ok, spider is taken care of." he grinned, closing the door.

"Aw, what a big strong man, taking care of a spider for his mom." She smiled, still laying on the bed, having not moved at all. "It was a really small one, wasn't it?"

Joshua stuck his tongue out and sighed as he once more laid beside Marley. "Yeah, small. It was black though, so yeah. Mom's happy now." he snickered, hugging her gently. "So, I take it you want me to look for the apartment as soon as possible?" he asked, laughing.
