Shrapnel nodded, "Well, thank God for that. I was afraid she was readying to poison my meals and cut my brake lines."

"Mom would be afraid of Ellen's temper if she did that," Catherine pointed out, "So what is the thing between you and Ellen, are you serious or just screwing around?"

"I think it's getting serious," he said, sitting in the chair and facing her, "I like her, she likes me, poor girl, and she does treat me better than your mom did."

Catherine sighed, "Alright if your sure of this, but don't come crying to me when you get hurt," she said and walked out of the room.

"What the hell does that mean," he asked, his arms out defensively, "Why do you keep saying that stuff, d'you know something I don't?"

"Yeah pretty much, go to Ellen, she's in the shower, naked and wet," Catherine called over her shoulder then bounded off.

Shrapenl called after her, not angry, just confused, "I'm your dad, dammit! If you know something, I'd like to hear what it is!"

"I'm your daughter, I've been a coma for a long time, it's about time I got to annoy you!" Catherine grinned.

Shrapnel raised an eyebrow, "What, you'd rather see me get hurt than be upfront with me for the sake of it? That's real cute. Makes me wish I could ground you again."

"Just go to Ellen and be happy, everything will work out," Catherine said before disappearing into her room.

Shrapnel made ain irritated face, "What? First I'm gonna get hurt, then everything will work out? That's kinda contradictory, isn't it?"

"Just go, jesus, I have reading to catch up on, like three Harry Potter books worth!" Catherine called through the door and smirked.

Shrapnel shook his head, it was a cloud of doubt and unsureness now. He thought things with Ellen were nice, but Catherine's mixed messages made her wonder how much he knew.
He walked down the hallway, and entered Ellen's room, knocking on her bathroom door, "You in there," he asked through the wood, knowing the question was dumb.

"Mmm yeah, come on in," Ellen said opening her eyes a little before closing them again and turning the water even hotter so she could feel the warmth through her skin, 'Bring a towel I forgot to bring on in with me."

Shrapnel grabbed one from the rack, and walked in, sitting on the edge of the tub and setting the towel on the sink basin, "You alright," he asked, "Don't worry about Catherine, she justs likes to give me crap."

"Yeah, I'm just not use to all that family stuff like you are," Ellen said turning off the shower and sitting down in the tub and began a relaxing hot bath.

Shrapnel dipped his hand into the water and swallowed hard, "Listen, can you be honest with me? What do you really think about me? Seriously."

Ellen c.ocked her head to the side as he asked her the question, and then started wringing out her long hair. She was quiet, lost in her thoughts, she really did like Shrapnel, right down to his 'no bullshit,' way of saying things. In fact she always prefered this way in speaking to people, but she had always been afraid of hurting the feelings of Cole.
Cole, that was another thing, Ellen was afraid what would happen when Shrapnel and her's relationship became more serious. Could she really give her heart away, again? Ellen looked up at Shrapnel and her face softened a little. She could give it a shot, she supposed, what harm could it do anyway?
Ellen lifted herself up a little in the tub and leaned towards Shrapnel and kissed both his cheks then his lips, "I think," she said and smiled, "I could get use to the idea of you around," she murmured pressing her forehead against his.

Shrapnel smiled against her, "I guess that'll have to do then," he said, returning her kiss.

"Sorry, I hope you didn't expect some gooshy, love throbbing answer, I'm not really that type of girl," Ellen said sinking back into the water.
