Till Death Do Us Part..

Mark frowned and looked at her. "Do I have to sleep alone?"

Artemis scoffed and snuggled in beside him, answering his question

Mark smiled widely and turned on his side, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her gently. All his, for eternity.

Artemis kissed him back and pulled away, looking him sternly in the eyes "sleep" she demanded

Mark sighed and cuddled her, pressing his body to hers and kissing her neck gently as he closed his eyes. He didn't like sleep, but he guessed he could manage an hour..or so..

Artemis watched him carefully, waiting to make sure he actually passed out, he needed his rest

Mark drifted off slowly, despite his protests. His arms stayed tight around her so she wouldn't disapear.

Artemis smiled and soon followed suit, not noticing when the day turned into night or the night into day. The kept sleeping, there bodies in serious need of respite

Mark slept for three days straight. He finally woke up on the morning of the fourth day, his mind and eyes bleary. He could hear Brendon and Grace in the kitchen, but he had no desire to move.

Artemis remained out, her head on his chest, his heart beat like a lullaby

Mark glanced down and blinked a few times as he saw Artemis asleep on his chest. It took him a minute to remember all that had happened, then a smile came to his face and he kissed her forehead gently.

Artemis stirred at this, waking up slowly and smiling as she spotted him "morning. sleep good last night?"

Mark chuckled and looked over at his clock. He blinked a few times as he noticed the date and raised a brow. "we've been asleep for three days. but yes, I slept well. Did you?"

Artemis's eyes widened "three days?" no wonder why she had to pee so bad!
"yes, yes I do believe I did" she laughed

Mark chuckled as he watched her. "I don't know about you...but I desperately need a bathroom." He chuckled and sat up. "there's two, don't worry."

Artemis scrambled up, doing the potty dance as she dashed away

Mark chuckled and made his way to the other bathroom. He came out a little while later feeling very relieved.

Artemis followed suit, meeting up with him in the hall way. she smiled, feeling better than she had in a while

Mark chuckled as he smiled down at her, kissing her gently, his hands sliding into her back pockets. The sun shone down the hallway, illuminating Artemis, making her look like an angel. He watched her, his expression filled with love and awe.

Artemis gave a lovestruck grin "you're really hansom" she breathed, tousling his hair

Mark chuckled and kissed the hollow of her neck. "You look like an angel. My angel." His hands pressed her close to him as he kissed her neck. "What should we do today?"

Artemis rolled her head back, enjoying the feeling. "perhaps look into a new location? it seems we've been... found"

"I think we go to Europe." Mark murmered against her skin, his hips pressing gently to hers. "Venice."

Artemis pressed back and grinned "sounds good to me" she nuzzled him, breathing in his scent

Mark chuckled and held her close. "Venice it is then. I'll have to get passports made."
