REWRITE! FINALLY

"She and Cam just had a row." Noelle informed him.

"I figured." Hugh muttered.

Noelle nodded, "So, now that I am free." She winked at him.

"Don't tempt me." He breathed.

"I'm not trying to 'tempt' you." She replied calmly.

He raised an eyebrow and pulled her closer, "You're very presence tempts me and you know that. I reckon you're enjoying it. But I don't mix business and pleasure." He flicked her away. Noelle was annoyed her plan wasn't working.

Hugh looked at her calmly, "You won't escape. No matter how hard you try."

"Whatever." Noelle rolled her eyes, "Can I at least have some comfy clothes to wear?"

Hugh nodded, "Dani wants you in the best guest room. There's stuff in the closet." He grabbed her arm and began leading her to her room.

Noelle smiled as she walked into the room. "It's nice."

"Yeah, at least I'm stuck watching you in here." Hugh sat on a comfortable chair.

"You "watching me" is your own fault." Noelle grumbled as she opened the closet and pulled out leggings and a baggy tank top.

Hugh smiled, "Don't undress right there. The bathroom is there." He pointed.

"Whatever." She smiled widely to be obnoxious and shut the bathroom door. Noelle washed the make up off her face and pulled her long curly hair back into a bun. The baggy tank top clung to her cleavage and the leggings where comfortable.

Hugh smiled to himself. He picked up the remote next to him and turned on the tv.

When Noelle walked out he thought she looked even more beautiful then before. She lounged on the bed.

"So....I am bored. Isn't there anything to do around here?" She asked.

"Do you like to ice skate? We've got a nice pond. The mage's keep snow around it year round." Hugh replied as he stared at the tv.

"I don't know how..." She mumbled.

"OR, we have the stables. We've got all sorts of animals."

"Teach me how to skate." Noelle smiled.

Hugh grinned, "I'm practically an expert."

"I've never been before." Noelle said.

"Well, once you are like a million years old like me, you'll be a pro." Hugh laughed.

Not much later they were out by the lake, lacing up their skates.

"This is amazing. We don't have anything this fun at our castle." She said to Hugh.

"That's because Elias has no personality." Hugh laughed.

She couldn't help but laugh.
