Thinking of You

Part Two

I entered my apartment building a few hours later. My arms filled with paper I must work on. Walking up the stairs, my head held low, I still thought of him. His slender yet well muscled frame lingered in my mind.


I stared into space as I my gaze remained downward and I approached the fourth floor of the building. I walked down the hall to see a pair of man's brown shoes. Slowly I looked up. I saw slender long legs dressed in black slacks. Moving upward, a pale yellow shirt came into view. When I reached his face, my heart stopped. His hair wasn't spiked, but I knew...


It was him. I would recognize his face anywhere.


"Vash!" I cried out with tears in my eyes. dropping my paper work I embraced him.


"I'm happy to see you too, Meryl." He smiled and returned the hug.


I made a small noise of happiness and he squeezed my small body.

Inside my apartment, I prepared a meal for the two of us. Vash sat on the couch. We were silent. We both knew that this was going to be a night that would change our lives for the better or for the worse, for some strange reason.


"So, how's Millie?" he asked to break the silence.


"Oh, she's great." I answered and wiped my hands on my apron. "She's a mother now."


"Oh?"


"Her son's name is Mathew Nicholas Thompson. He's real cute."


"So, she and Wolfwood...?"


"Yeah. He has a lot of Millie's features, but he definitely has Mr. Wolfwood's eyes." I explained.


Vash made no comment. I could tell he was in deep thought. He blamed himself for Wolfwood's death.


"Ok, supper's ready." I announced.


Vash jumped up and clapped his hands once. He got a goofy smile on his face.


"Oh boy, food!"


We sat at the table and grabbed the utensils. I smiled to myself and shook my head.


"You will never change."


He smiled, bright and wide.


We ate silently, actually I mostly watched him eat. It was refreshing to see his face. I was content just watching him. He always had this childish expression on his face when he ate, especially when he got his hands on fresh donuts.


Why is he here, I though seriously. Why would he come straight here? Why didn't he just come visit me and Millie at the Insurance Agency?


"You're not hungry, are you?" I heard Vash say.


I immediately snapped out of my daze. Slapping my cheeks a smiled and woke myself up.


"No, no. I am."


I began to eat. He looked at me with a silly confused expression.
