Light the Blue Touch Paper...
The car was spacious; Millie was surprised that they could all sit on the back seat without being squashed. Nick got in first, then Amelia and then Gabriel.
"Don't be nervous, Amelia, we'll look after you no matter what your sisters say to you."
He knew she was nervous, she was so quiet, was it just the thought of seeing her sisters that had her sitting rigidly between them or was it something else? He moved closer to her,
"Can I hold your hand, please? Even I get nervous about meeting someone new." Gabriel didn't wait for her to answer but reached out for her hand, his thumb stroking the back of it.
Nick glared at him, "Gabriel Swann did you just tell a whopping fib so you could hold Amelia's hand?"
Gabriel smirked and gave a little shrug. Nick moved up closer to her as well, "Amelia I'm not going to lie to you, I would love to hold your hand just to comfort you, I know you're nervous about tonight, but you don't have to be. I will be

HEAVEN & HELL ...And Stand Well Back!
Pearl and Ruby Ashton, stood in front of the mirror in their bedroom and checked to see if they were identical. Totally identical.It was an excellent way to have fun with strangers swapping identity, it also meant that in the situation they were about to embark on they got a double helping of men.Their dresses were outrageous, a solid panel of black silk down the front and back to cover their breasts and bottom the rest of it was sheer black organza, showing plenty of side boob and it was perfectly obvious that neither of them was wearing underwear."They might have sent a car for us," moaned Ruby as she arranged her fringe for the hundredth time."Don't worry darling, we will have a nice limo to take us back to Nick's house. I can guarantee it" Pearl smiled at in her sister in the mirror. "Come on Ruby the taxi will here in a minute."The girls didn't talk on the way to the restaurant.

HEAVEN & HELL Journey
Millie took a last look around her pretty bedroom; she had begun packing as soon as they got back to the house. She zipped her case up and heaved it off the bed. Breathing deeply, she calmed the lump in her throat. The last thing she wanted to do was leave, and maybe if tonight had happened differently then perhaps she would stay, but Pearl had made that impossible.When she went to find Lucy in the ladies toilet, the teen had asked some very pertinent questions. Lucy was drying her eyes when Millie found her."Hey Lucy," Millie put her arm around her, "that was the kindest and most lovely thing anyone has ever said for me."Lucy sniffed, "is Nick angry?""Oh he's furious, but not with you, he could never be angry with you?""He will be, he hates anyone making a fuss like that."Millie shook her head "No, he's going to be so proud of you. I don't think anyone has ever spoken to my sisters that way before. I certai
HEAVEN & HELL Panic All Around.
Gabriel stretched and yawned; Nick had moved away from him while they were sleeping, he rolled over and glanced at the clock, half nine. He needed coffee, and most of all, he needed to see how Amelia was. Slipping out of bed and he went quietly to the bathroom and trying not to wake Nick, he pulled his jeans on, carefully pulling the zip up, leaving the button open. He pulled last nights white shirt on and rolled the sleeves up and just fastened the two middle buttons. He'd come back for a shower after breakfast. He rubbed his eyes and grabbing a hair tie; he fastened his hair back. Barefoot he padded down the hallway and the stairs. It was quiet in the kitchen, and he went over to put
HEAVEN & HELL Saturday Morning
Nick lay on his back, blinking rapidly. God, he hated being woken as if the house was on fucking fire. His heart was almost out of his chest; it was beating so hard. He stared open-mouthed at Gabriel, ready to rip him a new one, he knew that he hated being woken up like that. He was just about to yell at him when he noticed that Gabriel was as white as a sheet. His brows drew together in question."Amelia has gone, packed her bags and left the building. Gone!" Gabriel spoke slowly as if to a child, not usually a good idea to talk to Nick like that; he'd seen people come away shaking when they had spoken to him like that."Gone?"Gabriel pushed his hand towards Nick's scowling face, Amelia's note fluttering under his nose. Nick snatched it out of his hand as Gabriel slumped dejectedly on the bed. There was silence while he read the letter and then reaching for him; Nick pulled Gabriel into his arms."We'll find her," he rubbed his face into G

HEAVEN & HELL Turbulence
"Nick, hey c'mon, we'll sort it," Gabriel stroked Nick's hair as he rested it his chest. "Do you think this is true?" Gabriel was not going to beat about the bush in this situation; he needed to know. They both needed to know, especially as Nick was always one to brush things aside if it was going to cause him trouble."Do you think she's your daughter?"He felt Nick screw his eyes up, wrinkle his nose as if he didn't know what to say. Gabriel pushed Nick's head away from his chest so that he could look in his eyes."Is she yours?" Gabriel cocked his head in question as Nick slowly raised his eyes to look at him."If the letter her mother wrote is true then," he shrugged. "Probably...yes." Nick's voice cracked, and he closed his eyes in resignation."What letter?"Nick shuffled the papers on the table and pulled the letter from his ex-girlfriend. Gabriel scanned it. Hmm, that sounded promising. Why write to your ex to tell him you were pregn
HEAVEN & HELL Protection

HEAVEN & HELL Confession Is Good For The Soul
Amelia washed her tears away and turned the TV off. Her stomach was rumbling, and it seemed a really long time ago since she had been in the cafe that morning. Perhaps a walk along the front, and find a place to eat. She slipped her shoes back on and grabbing her bag and her coat she picked up the key to her room and went out into the hallway.She was locking the door when she heard a noise behind her."Good evening."Amelia looked up and up. "Oh," this man was huge, his dark chocolate coloured skin gleamed in the in lights. "Good evening."The man smiled his teeth blindingly white, "Walter Bear, but you can call me Smokey" he said, holding his hand out for her to shake. "I'm in the next room to you, so I must apologise for any noise that I make. I wouldn't want to disturb you.""Amelia Ashton pleased to meet you" She shook his enormous hand. He was so gentle in shaking it. "Please don't worry
