Bright and early Christian started off for work. He left a note for Shianne because she was still asleep when he left. He knew she wouldn�t wake up for a few hours because she had exhausted herself so much the day before. Normally that wouldn�t stop her but she had trained all night Friday as well and didn�t bother resting Saturday. Christian had one purpose for going into work on a day he normally wouldn�t work. To find out what he can about the others.
After rolling over a few dozen times Shianne finally climbed out of her bed. Her feet touched the cold floor and it felt good, soothing to her sore feet. It only took her a few minutes to realize that Christian was already gone. Instead of panicking Shianne remembered that he had said he was going into the office to do some research. On the nightstand was his note which said exactly that. Well, with an added I love you at the bottom but the rest of it was how she thought it would be. Sighing she made her way into the bathroom, turning on the water in the tub so it was warm and full by the time she was done elsewhere. She slowly tugged off her clothes letting them drop to the ground before climbing into the bath. Every muscle ached and every cut and bruise seemed to sting when the water hit it. Groaning Shianne dropped her head back against the bath pillow and relaxed as well as she could.
�Man.. I need to loosen up or I won�t be able to train any today.� Shianne spoke quietly before beginning to meditate.
Moments later her entire body was relaxed as well as her mind. She felt as if she was floating above her body, a separate individual or spirit. Her mind began to wander and she started thinking of how unfair she was being towards Christian. It amazed her how he continued to stay with her and remained in love with her. Tonight would be his night. He had been wanting to go on a date for the last few weeks and tonight they would. It would be a special night and for once she wouldn�t worry about anything but him. Yeah, that sounded really good indeed. After washing her hair as well as her body she rinsed off and toweled off. Since she was home alone and even if she wasn�t she walked into the bedroom totally naked. Her closet was huge and she always had to walk into it just to get to her clothes. Standing there staring for a few minutes she found herself doing what all girls did. Deciding which outfit to wear and wondering if she had shoes to match. She finally grabbed out a red silky sundress that had spaghetti straps that crossed in the back. The dress went to her mid thighs and she even had shoes to match it, bonus! Slipping into the outfit she felt a bit more womanly and even took time to fix up her hair and completed her look with makeup.
Christian came into the house just as Shianne was walking down the stairs. He nearly dropped the papers he had in his hand just by glancing up at her. It was just as she thought would happen. She enjoyed finding different ways to shock and amaze Christian and it looked like she found yet another way.
�Wow Shi... you look beautiful..� Christian stammered while walking to the table to deposit the papers in a safe manner.
�Christian... how would you like to go out tonight? Just us two with nothing on our minds but what sort of food we want to eat?� Shianne asked before walking to the couch to sit down.
�Really?? I mean sure that�d be great. I�ll pick you up... I mean, we can go at 6pm.� Christian finally got out as he took a seat next to Shianne, hugging onto her tightly.
It was a really nice feeling and she had a feeling they would be sitting exactly like this when six rolled around considering it was 3pm now. She wasn�t all that happy that she had slept most of the day but considering how late she had been up the last few days she needed the sleep. She wanted to ask Christian what he found out but she didn�t want to ruin the moment. Tough decisions often called for tough thoughts about the tough decisions.
�Shi, do you want to see what I found out at the office?� Christian asked as if he read her mind. He was so good to her and she loved every inch of him.
�Actually... yes I do Christian, but no matter what we�re going on that date tonight.� Shianne responded with a glance to the clock.
Christian nodded before getting up to get the folder of papers. Carefully holding them he made his way back to the couch and laid the contents out on the coffee table. Inside the folder was the jackpot of all jackpots. Pictures, documents and records of all the places Alex and Micheal had been. In some of the pictures Breanna and Trenton were with them doing who knows what. But, since these were recent pictures that meant the two of them were okay and still alive. That was enough to give her hope again.
�Babe, how�d you get these?� Shianne asked as she looked at the pictures time and time again.
�I knew a few guys that owed me some favors.� Christian said with a hint of a smirk hidden in his eyes.
That was good enough for Shianne. Christian walked into the kitchen to leave Shianne alone with the pictures and the documents. Hopefully she could find something in them that would lead them to Trenton and Breanna. Hopefully this would be over soon so they could all get on with their lives. It was a lot of hoping but he knew things would get better. A date meant they were already starting to get better, maybe Shianne would get a break. Until then Christian would be with her every step of the way.
