Chapter 13 
 
Sean approached the VIP room. He had a long thin box under his arm. “Kathy?” Sean said. He was about to turn and walk away when the door opened. Loggar was dressed casual attire: a t-shirt and Levi’s. 
Sean marveled at how the jeans clung to her legs and hips. “Are those Levi’s? Real jeans?” 
Loggar smiled. “Yes, they are? You like them?” Her voice took on a girlish hint. 
Sean stepped closer, smiled. “I do.” He moved closer. “They look . . . nice on you. Is that what Archaeologist wear on the dig?” 
“This one does, and sometimes off.” Loggar looked down and spotted the long thin box Sean had been holding. 
“A box?” 
Sean smiled and handed it to her. “Yeah, it’s for you.” 
She took the box and peered deeply into Sean’s eyes. She knew Sean felt something for her. She had hoped it was love, though lust would be enough for now. Then she felt guilty at what might happen to him. She really didn’t know how all this was going to play out. She just wished, hoped really, that it would all work out in the end. 
 
“Hey, what’s the matter?” Sean asked moving closer. He placed a hand on her chin and kissed her on the cheek. “You don’t want the gift?” 
She opened it. A single blue rose filled the box. Loggar’s eyes welled with tears. “Sean, a ‘blue’ rose. Isn’t this rare?” 
“Yes, it is. And unfortunately, it’ll die in a week. But unlike this rose, I hope that you and I will continue?” Then he quickly added. “I mean, I know we have jobs that take us far away, but if we’re together, we could, you know . . . damn!” 
“What?” 
Sean sighed, “I’m sounding like some fool . . .” 
“Sean, you’re not.” 
“Kathy, I like you a lot. I mean, shit. I’m so worried that I’m not. . .” Sean tried again and Loggar waited patiently, “I love you! And I’m scared.” 
Loggar sat with a perplexed look on her face. She thought about the encounter her and Robin had earlier. It was good that they could talk, though Loggar felt that Robin had held back because she was talking to the High Goddess. Loggar got that a lot. 
Sean saw the look and felt sick to his stomach. He blew it, plain and simple. He made such a damn fool of himself. 
Loggar placed a hand on his cheek, “That was so sweet Sean, thank you for the Rose.” She kissed him on the cheek. “And thank you for your honesty.” She kissed him on the lips. “I love you, too.” She kissed him again and this time it was passionate. 
They made love that hour – passionate, reckless, uninhibited. Both were consumed by a thirst that neither alone could satisfy. It took both to fill their hunger’s desire. Sean came twice. Kathy lost count after five. 
 
Ted snapped out of the daze he was in., “Where did you get that idea? And if we were expected, by whom?” 
Herb sat back in the chair. He took out a watch. It was connected to a long silver chain; it was a gift from the University. “I don’t know, maybe the statue.” He finally said. 
Ted glared at him, “Herb, you like wasting my time, don’t you?” 
“You don’t believe me?” 
“No. I don’t.” 
Herb got up and started for the door. “You know, Ted?” 
Ted had placed his head back in his paperwork. “What?” He said not looking up. “Is it something I don’t know or need you to show me?” 
“Probably both, you’re a shit.” Herb walked out leaving Ted to consider his words. 
 
Agegi listened to the conversation with deep satisfaction. Ted was the one he would pick. He watched as Herb walked out. He wished that things would happen soon and that he would be free again. But then again, he had only been in wait for 30 cycles. No matter, freedom was near, and with freedom came the ability to control, conquer and destroy! This time around glory would be his.
