Chapter Thirteen
“Oh oh one more addiction in my world, oh one more connection to let go of. Oh floating down the river out of sight, forever from my world.” -‘One More Addiction’ Natalie Imbruglia

"Mmhnn.." moaned Elena as she rolled over onto her back and yawned. An arm snaked it's way around her waist and pulled her towards it's owner. She grinned, "you're awake already huh?"
"As usual..."  smiled Rude as he leaned over and kissed his wife.
Laying her head on Rude's chest and draping an arm over his stomach she sighed in contentment, "I really have become accustomed to sleeping in late and waking up next to you every morning Rude. I really am a soft Turk, but I can't say I regret it, " she giggled.
"Soft? I highly doubt such Elena... You're rather aggressive.. especially during the night. You sex fiend!" he expressed as he sat up, and pulled the blonde into his lap and kissed her again.
Wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed back then laughed. "Rude I am not a sex fiend! Don't blame your urges on me" she smirked.
"Well I do have to admit Elena, it is good sex.." affirmed Rude as he looked at his wife with bright amber eyes.
"Love making Rude, LOVE MAKING" she corrected as she pushed back the short blonde locks of hair that had fallen in her face.
"Love making, sex, hell call it 'medication' if you like," grinned Rude.
"Well so much for being romantic.." sighed Elena.
"I love you.." he expressed as he pulled her into a hug.
"Love you too Rude," she replied, then sat up. "OH!!!" she jumped up. "I smell food!" she gushed and opened the door and ran out into the kitchen in her night gown.
Shaking his head Rude got up and pulled a pair of pants on, " great I've been ditched for Tseng and his ability to make breakfast." Laughing to himself he followed Elena out into the kitchen

"I didn't know you could eat so much Elena.." commented Tseng as he looked over from the stove at the petite blonde woman who was finishing off her second helping of breakfast.
"Me either, it must be your cooking Tseng," replied Elena as she ate the last bit of her toast.
"Karia and Reno are coming back this afternoon, correct?" Vincent inquired as he looked up from his newspaper.
"That's right," answered Elena, looking to Vincent who sat across from her at the table. "You worried about Karia?" Elena grinned.
"I'd say he'd be more worried about Reno than Karia.." said Rude as he walked up behind Elena and kissed her.
"Exactly.." confirmed Vincent. "She sometimes takes things a bit to far, and Reno's just the one to push her over the limit, I'm sure." He smirked, "even if such would be entertaining."
"Don't underestimate him.." stated Tseng, joining the conversation again. "He just might surprise you sometimes."
"What do you mean?" asked Vincent as he raised an eyebrow to the Wutaian before him.
"Do recall.. whom did Karia ask to watch over? And don't forget, she's the one who asked Reno to go with her, not vice versa." Without waiting for an answer Tseng turned and made his way to the door. "I'm going to take care of a couple things," then he exited.
Vincent watched him go, then looked over to the couple beside him. "Erm... I'll leave you two alone.." he commented, though expected he went unheard. He exited and decided to accompany Tseng.
