ON:

Melody had been awake for about 10 minutes. She was lying in bed, propped up on one arm watching Draxx who was still asleep. She spoke gently to him.

"Good morning sleepyhead."

"Morning …. " he pulled her down and kissed her.

"Ive been thinking," he said after a moment suddenly very serious. "What with what happened to Sansa last night and the fact she didn't even have a proper childhood …. time is short …. precious ….."

Melody looked at him for moment, Her eyes narrowing. “Where are you going with this?”

"Lets get married here. Now. No delays. I haven't got any family bar you and Sansa. You haven't get any family bar Sansa and me. Okay Nibbles …. why wait and make a big song and dance of things?" he asked.

Melody’s mouth dropped open and moved up and down a few times but no sounds came out.”

"Thats a lovely fish impression my dear but it doesn't quite let me know what you think," Draxx replied.

She batted him playfully on the arm and laughed but when he didn’t join in the merriment she stopped laughing and did a double take. “You’re serious, aren’t you?”

"I don't say things unless I'm serious," Draxx said simply.

Melody looked at him for a moment. Took a deep breath and then came to a decision. “Let’s do it. I love you. I want to marry you.” She kissed him, quite passionately.

Draxx came up for air and smiled. "Okay I'll get showered. You get Sansa and go treat yourselves to a lovely dress or something and I'll find someone to marry us. Tonight, at sunset. Maybe that beach where we ….. well yeah ….."

Melody smiled at the memory then got a look in her eye as she moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his bare chest.

“Ive got time to get a dress with Sansa this afternoon and I don’t want to interrupt Sansa’s walk. Also, we’ve got this whole villa to ourselves at the moment. You want to... Well Yeah...Again?”

"You so romantic," Draxx muttered not putting up any resistance.
