ADVENTURE RP! NEW MEMBER WELLCOME!

Alex stood up and went into the living room. He sat on the sofa and waited for his parents' driver to show up since he would arrive at any moment.

*****************************

Bryan replied, "Yup, I did. I admit that it was different from what I usually eat but still the fact that my Rosaline cooked it was more than enough for me to eat it."

He then heard the sound of a plate falling on the ground as well. He said, "My Rosaline must be having some trouble. I'll go check on her."

He got up and went into the kitchen to find out what was going on.

In the kitchen, Rosaline had been trying to wash the dishes but unfortunately, a plate has fallen from her and broke to pieces. She wasn't hurt but felt troubled and tried to collect the broken pieces.

******************************************

Nerine soon finished cleaning up and washing all the dishes up so she went back to Alex.

Bryan saw Rosaline try to collect the broken plate but stopped her. He looked into her eyes and said,

"My love, why don't you allow me to help you clean that up? The pieces might cut you."

*************************

Alex saw Nerine enter the living room and asked,

"Are you all done, my darling? Wow, that sure was quick."

Rosaline looked back into Bryan's eyes with a troubled look and replied, "Ummm it's ok. I can handle that. I broke it after all."

*********************************************

Nerine smiled and sat down next to Alex. "Well, I couldn't stay away from my lord any longer."

Bryan gently touched Rosaline's hand and replied, "But it's all right, my love. I don't mind. And besides, you did more than enough cooking me breakfast. The very least I can do is help you clean up."

**************************

Greg looked over at Rosalind as Bryan went into the kitchen to see what was going on. He wondered about something.

"Dear, I was thinking. Were you concerned when Bryan said that he ate Rosaline's cooking?"

**************************

Alex wrapped his arms around Nerine and replied, "And I couldn't stay away from you for so long, either. I want to hold you like this until the driver comes."

Rosaline smiled and replied, "Alright then. If you insist, I suppose."

*****************************

Rosalind turned to Greg and sighed. Nodding, she replied, "Yea since Rosaline is pretty horrible at cooking and now it means I have lots of cleaning up to do."

*****************************

Nerine smiled and replied, "I certainly have no problem with that at all, my lord."

Bryan smiled and then began to pick up the pieces of the broken plate and disposed of them in the trash bin. Once that was done, he got up and looked around the kitchen to survey how much cleaning needed to be done.

Then he turned to Rosaline and said, "Let's see. Why don't I handle washing the dishes while you put away the food and clean up the floor and such?"

**************************

Greg replied with a surprised look on his face, "Is Rosaline really that bad of a cook? And I doubt that the kitchen could look that bad."

**************************

Alex smiled and held Nerine lovingly in his arms and laid his head on her shoulder. They were in a romantic embrace for a while and then there was a knock on the door. Alex perked his head and up and said,

"Ahh that must be the driver now."

Rosaline nodded and replied, "Alright. I suppose Rosalind wouldn't want anymore broken dishes."

She got some tools and things to begin cleaning up the kitchen.

***********************************

Rosalind replied, "If you'd like, you can take a look on the kitchen now. I bet it will look horrible."

************************************

Nerine replied, "Please rest here then, my lord. I'll go and answer it."

She stood up and walked up to the door and opened it.

Bryan chuckled and replied, "Yup, I'm sure that's true."

While Rosaline went to clean up the rest of the kitchen, Bryan went to the sink to wash and dry the remaining dishes. He made sure to be careful, so as not to break any dishes.

***************************

Greg replied, "Well, why don't we take a peek together?"

He led the way to the kitchen door and opened it just a little to see what was going on.

***************************

While Alex went to rest in the living room, the driver for Edward and Eleanor waited outside. He then saw the door open and on the other side, Nerine stood. The driver bowed to her and said,

"Good morning, miss. Lord and Lady Carnahan asked me to pick you and Sir Alex up to take you to the vacation home. I have the carriage all ready so we can leave whenever you two are ready."

Rosaline meanwhile was doing her best to clean up the kitchen. She tried sweeping the floor and the walls and collecting up the trash and putting it in the bin.

***********************************

Rosalind looked in the kitchen from the little peek Greg opened and saw Rosaline and Bryan doing their best to clean up the kitchen. She whispered to Greg, "Wow, it looks like they are actually trying to clean up."

************************************

Nerine replied, "Thanks, sir. I'll go and call my lord."

She went back to Alex and said, "My lord, the driver is here and he is all ready."

In the meantime, Bryan continued to wash and dry the dishes. The task was being done slowly but at least the dishes were being cleaned and they were all intact. He glanced to see how Rosaline was doing and it looked like she was doing all right as well.

*****************************

Greg whispered back, "Yup, sure looks like it. I never thought I'd see the day that Bryan would do some cleaning. Back in Devenshire, he had servants helping him with cleaning and cooking."

*****************************

Alex nodded and got up. "Ahh ok then. Let's get our jackets and then we can get going."

He gently held Nerine's arm and went to the coat closet to pick up Nerine's and his jackets. First he helped Nerine put her jacket on and then he put his own on. Then he escorted Nerine outside, where the driver was standing beside the carriage, opening the door to it. After Alex had closed the house door and locked it, he helped Nerine inside the carriage, saying,

"Ladies first."

Rosaline continued sweeping the floor and cleaning up the walls. It was a bit of a hard task for her since she didn't like cleaning but she did her best to do it all right.

*************************************

Rosalind giggled quietly and replied, "Yup. At least he has learned something good from Rosaline although I wonder how."

Bryan soon finished cleaning the dishes and he put them all away carefully on the dish rack. He then looked over to Rosaline and asked,

"How are you doing, my love? Everything ok?"

**********************************

Greg chuckled as well and said, "Good question although I'd guess that Bryan must really love Rosaline a lot to help her out with the cleaning."

**********************************

After Nerine was safely inside the carriage, Alex entered, seating himself beside her. The driver then closed the carriage door and hopped into the driver's seat, ordering the horses to go towards Alex's and Nerine's vacation house.

Inside the carriage, Alex wrapped his arms around Nerine and said,

"This is so romantic, darling."

Rosaline turned to Bryan and nodded. "Ehh yeah. Cleaning isn't as bad as I thought."

*******************************

Rosalind nodded and replied, "Yup. I am glad to see that they love each other so much."

*******************************

Nerine smiled and replied, "Yup, my lord. It is. I love being here in your arms."

Bryan chuckled and replied, "Well, I must admit that cleaning is a new experience for me as well. Back home, the servants would always clean after me but it's nice to do something myself for a change."

***************************

Greg replied, "Yup, same here. I can see that those two have made each other better and happier than ever."

***************************

Alex continued to hold Nerine in his arms and laid his head on her shoulder like he did earlier. He had this peaceful smile on his face and said,

"I'm so happy here with you, my darling."

(Ok, I'll be getting off for the night. I can't stay up late tonight unfortunately but maybe tomorrow. Nite, nite Love. ^^)

(Awww ok. Nite, nite, phoenix and it was nice to RP tonigt after such a long time. ^^)

Rosaline replied, "And I had never cleaned before. But I suppose we do need to learn a new thing every once in a while."

************************************

Rosalind replied, "Yup. And it looks like our plan worked after all."

************************************

Nerine replied, "I feel the same, my lord. Nothing compares to just being with you for one moment. I'd do anything just to be with you."

Bryan nodded and replied, "Yup, that's sure true."

He approached Rosaline and held her in his arms.

"You know, this is nice getting to spend time together."

******************************

Greg replied, "Yup, it sure did."

He closed the door quietly as to make sure that neither Rosaline nor Bryan noticed that he and Rosalind had been watching them.

Turning back to Rosalind, Greg said, "Let's let them have some time alone together. I'm sure they'll be out soon."

******************************

Alex replied, "I love you so much, my Nerine. I hope you know that I'm for you always."

He looked out the carriage window, enjoying the scenery passing by them while holding his beloved.

Rosaline wrapped her arms around Bryan's neck and replied, "Yup, I agree. You know, Bryan, I have never expected to fall in love again, let alone with you."

**************************************

Rosalind nodded and replied, "I wonder when will Mum and Dad wake up."

**************************************

Nerine smiled and as well, she looked at the beautiful scenery outside. She had never forgotten about Lycoris, but she wondered if she should really talk with Alex about it.

(Hi Love. Sorry I couldn't RP late last night but at least all my stressful stuff is over so I'm here now. ^^)

Bryan replied, "And I feel so blessed to have finally felt love with you. I never thought it would ever be possible to fall in love with someone who could be my equal in every way."

With love and warmth in his eyes, Bryan leaned in to kiss Rosaline.

***************************

Greg replied, "Hmm same here. I have no idea if your parents are usually morning people or not. My parents love waking up early in the morning but then again, they have to because of their jobs and all."

***************************

It took some time but soon, the driver arrived in front of Alex's and Nerine's vacation home. He announced to the couple,

"We're here."

The driver then opened the door and Alex stepped out first, helping Nerine out of the carriage.

(Hi phoenix. It's ok, I certainly understand. ^^)

Rosaline returned Bryan's kiss as sweetly and romantically as ever. Still, wrapping her arms around his neck, she closed her eyes to deepen the kiss.

*******************************************

Rosalind shrugged and replied, "Who knows? But I suppose they will need to wake up soon to have breakfast with us."

*******************************************

With Alex's help, Nerine got out of the carriage and there, she saw the vacation home once again. It made her remember all the memories she had with Alex even if they weren't long.

Bryan continued to kiss Rosaline for a moment more, wanting the moment to be as wonderful as ever. Once the kiss ended, Bryan looked into Rosaline's eyes and remembered something.

"Ahh I almost forgot. Rosalind and Greg are in the dining room."

*******************************

Greg replied, "Yup, that's true."

*******************************

Upstairs, Patriaclos woke up, feeling a little better after having gotten a good night's sleep. He laid in bed for a while, waiting for Andra to wake up.

*******************************

Once Nerine was out of the carriage, Alex turned to the driver and asked him to wait outside while they went inside to get their things. The driver nodded and then Alex escorted Nerine inside.

Once inside, Alex turned to Nerine and asked,

"Darling, how does it feel being back here?"

Rosaline replied, "Ahh yeah. We should get back them, I suppose."

*************************************

It was a while after Patriaclos had woken up when Andra opened her eyes. She smiled at her husband and whispered, "Good morning, dear."

*************************************

Nerine turned to Alex and smiled delicately. "It feels wonderful, my lord. It has made me remember all our beautiful memories."

Bryan nodded and held Rosaline's hand, leading the way out of the kitchen and back to the dining room.

********************************

Patriaclos turned to stare into Andra's beautiful eyes and replied back,

"Good morning, honey. Did you sleep well?"

********************************

Alex smiled and replied, "Yup, I know exactly what you mean. This will always be our home away from home and I see that Bryan made sure that the place was secure while we were away.

So shall we go upstairs and then you can get your things?"

Andra nodded to Patriaclos and looking back into his eyes, she replied softly, "Yup, I sure did. Did you, my love?"

**********************************

Nerine nodded and replied, "If you please, lead the way, my lord."

Bryan and Rosaline arrived back in the dining room, where Greg and Rosalind were waiting.

Bryan asked, "Hey you two. We're all done now. The kitchen's free."

**************************

Patriaclos nodded and replied, "Yup, definitely. Holding you in my arms felt like sleeping with an angel. I wish we could lay down like this all day but I suppose Rosalind and everyone else will be wondering if we're going to sleep all day."

**************************

Alex nodded and gently escorted Nerine upstairs to their bedroom. They went inside and then Alex asked,

"Would you like me to help you, darling?"
