A Scent of the Future *Slow Updates*

Chapter 22

Artemis groaned slightly as she woke up. She looked around. There was Dick... In her bed... With her.... Then it hit her, neither of them were wearing clothes.

"Dick," Artemis shook the boy beside her.

"What? What?" Dick sat up getting into a fighting stance.

"Um...." Artemis gestured to their bodies.

"Oh... I guess we got intimate after last night's song," Dick said.

"You think? Did we at least use a you know what?" Artemis asked. Dick shrugged.

"I don't know. I didn't have any.... Did you?"

"No. I don't make it a habit to by condoms," Artemis said.

"Did it feel good?"

"Did what feel good?"

"You know.... When we did it...." Dick said.

"Maybe...." Artemis's voice trailed off. Dick raised an eyebrow at her. "Yes. Yes, it did feel good."

"Better than Wally?"

"I don't know. It's been a long time since I did that with him."

"So.... What are we now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are we just two people who kiss a lot? Or are we a couple?" Dick asked pulling on some pants.

"I don't know... I guess we could give it a shot...."

"Great. Because... I'll love you till the sun dies," Dick said.

"Nice. But could you please turn around so that I can get out of bed and get some sweats?" Artemis asked.

"But you're beautiful."

"I'm serious Grayson. Don't make me regret letting you stay here last night."

"Fine. I'll go start breakfast," Dick said pouting.

"You cook?"

"It's just one of my many talents Mis'," Dick said.

"Is one of your talents annoying your girlfriend? Because you sure are good at it."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"Just go make breakfast."

"Okay. I love you."

"It would just be cliché if I said I love you too."

"Cliché is good."

"I... like you too," Artemis said smiling. Dick could tell she loved teasing him.

"Well, I'll let that one pass. That is until tonight."

"We'll see Grayson, we'll see."
