A/N: This chapter is going to be sort of like a song fic. The song lyrics are double spaced. So, on with it.
Chapter 2: Stopping There
The next morning, Holly awoke from a deep sleep and for a minute forgot where she was. Then she remembered that she was at Fowl Manor and she also remembered what had happened last night. She groaned as she recalled the kiss between her and Artemis and lay like that for another minute as she tried to recollect the dream she had had. She knew it was one she enjoyed that contained herself and Artemis but the details were fuzzy. For this she was thankful, considering what she could have thought in her dreams. She shook her head and glanced at the alarm clock next to the bed. She groaned again, it was 8:00am. A moment later, she had gotten out of bed and made her way over to the chest of draws. She pulled them open and riffled through them, eventually picking out a pair of jeans and a black crop top.
After she was dressed, Holly made her way downstairs to the kitchen where she found Artemis. It looked like he was cooking, that thought made Holly grimace. Artemis has always been bad at cooking since Butler always made his food for him. Holly had had experience with Artemis’ cooking but she would give him the benefit of the doubt, it was unlikely but he may have gotten better since the last time he cooked.
‘Morning, Holly,’ he said as he turned around and noticed she was there. ‘Are you hungry?’
‘Yeah but I’ll just have some fruit.’
‘There’s some apples in the fridge if you want one,’ he said pointing at the fridge. She quickly walked over to it, pulled it open and grabbed an apple from inside it. Holly made her way to the sink and washed the apple before taking a large bite out of it. As she was there, she noticed what Artemis was cooking. She wasn’t sure what it was so she asked.
‘What’s that,’ she said, pointing to the thing in the frying pan.
‘Pancakes, do you want one?’
‘It doesn’t have meat in it, does it?’
‘No, completely vegetarian.’ He looked up at her for a moment and noticed that what she was wearing. She looks beautiful, said his mind. The jeans on her clung to her hips, showing off her curves and the top showed her stomach and a tiny bit of her cleavage. Her hair came down to just above her chest and gleamed in the early sunlight. He didn’t let his eyes linger too long, he didn’t want to upset her if she thought he was checking her out.
‘Yeah, I’ll try some,’ Holly said, shaking Artemis from his thoughts. A few minutes later, they were both sitting at the wooden table, eating their pancakes. ‘Where’s Butler, anyway, I haven’t seen him around?’
‘He’s taken a week off. He’s not as young as he used to be and gets tired easily,’ Artemis replied with a small grin.
‘Tell me about it. What do you want to do today?’
‘Anything you want. I could show you some of the rooms that you haven’t seen in the Manor because there are a lot of rooms. We could go for a walk in the garden, anything.’
‘Hmm… Could you show me some of the rooms I haven’t seen?’
‘Certainly,’ he said standing up. He put his empty plate in the sink and Holly’s joined it. For the first time this morning, Holly actually noticed what Artemis was wearing. Instead of his trademark suit, he was wearing some loose jeans and a buttoned down white shirt. She had to say that it looked better than his suits.
‘Where’s your suit?’
‘Oh, I just felt more comfortable in these.’ Holly gave him a sceptical look and he sighed. ‘My Mother says I should were more ‘normal’ clothes,’ he mumbled looking at his feet. He looked up when he heard a giggle. Holly was practically rolling around on the floor, tears leaking from her eyes from laughter. ‘It’s not that funny,’ he said indignantly.
‘I’m… I’m sorry but it is,’ she said as the laughter subsided. ‘Are we gonna look around now or later?’ she asked when she had finally composed herself.
‘Now’s fine,’ the man replied, his voice rather sharp as he was still annoyed that she had laughed at him.
‘Shouldn’t we be going then?’ Holly asked as she looped her arm through his. He looked down for a moment, surprised but he let it pass. Suddenly, Holly again remembered what happened last night and let go of his arm. She then could have sworn she saw disappointment in his eyes but it was gone so quick that she couldn’t be completely sure. They continued on their way, Artemis showing Holly various rooms she had never seen before. No of them held any interest to her, that is, until they reached the ballroom. It was on the far side of the Manor and Holly had never had any reason to go in there before. When they entered, Holly was speechless. The room was as large as half a football field and had frescos decorating the ceiling. There was a huge staircase, which they descended and four or five chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. They glimmered in the bright sunlight that was coming from some of the windows and the light left streaks of yellow across the marble floor.
‘I’ll be back in a minute,’ Artemis whispered in her ear. She nodded as a reply because she was still speechless.
A few minutes later, some music came from the speakers nestled along the walls. Without thinking, Holly began to sway and dance to the music.

Now I will tell you what I’ve done for you,
Fifty thousand tears I’ve cried,
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you,
And you still won’t hear me,
Going under!

She spun around and almost jumped out of her skin when Artemis came back over and caught her hand. She had gotten so lost in the music that she had forgotten he was even there.
‘May I have this dance?’ he asked formally.
‘Yeah, OK.’ He took Holly by the hand and led her out into the centre of the room.

Don’t want your hand this time I’ll save myself,
Maybe I’ll wake up for once (wake up for once),
Not tormented daily defeated by you,
Just one night I thought I reached the bottom.

There, Artemis placed his hands on her waist and she put hers on his shoulders. They slowly began to revolve on the spot, their eyes locked on each other’s. Holly could feel the music accelerating along with her heart as she danced with Artemis. Who the hell would have thought he would be such a good dancer? wondered Holly, as he took her hand and spun her around.

I dying again,
I’m going under!
Drowning in you (drowning in you),
I’m falling forever,
I’ve got to break through,
I’m going under!

Holly spun back into him and he caught her lightly, holding her to his chest. Artemis dipped her as they continued to look at each other’s eyes. He pulled her back up and into him. He smiled at her and she couldn’t help but smile back as they moved from side to side in time with the music.

Luring and stirring the truth and the lies,
(So I don’t know what’s real and what’s not),
All ways confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can’t trust myself anymore,

Artemis dipped her again and held tightly to her and once again pulled her up. Holly spun out again and Artemis noticed how graceful she was on her feet.

I dying again,
I’m going under!
Drowning in you (drowning in you),
I’m falling forever,
I’ve got to break through,
So go on and scream,
Scream at me I’m so far away,
I won’t be broken again,
I’ve got to breathe,
I can’t keep going under!

For a while she danced away from him, teasing him, beckoning him. He obliged and pulled her back into his chest. He felt her hot breath on his face as she looked up at him, that smile still in place.

I dying again,
I’m going under!
Drowning in you (drowning in you),
I’m falling forever,
I’ve got to break through,
I’m going under!
Going under (drowning in you)
I’m going under!

The song came to an end and Artemis and Holly slowly came to a stand still. Holly’s eyes where fixed on Artemis’ deep blue ones as his were fixed on her hazel ones. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers but she pushed away from him and looked down. He moved one of his hands and tilted her chin up.
‘What is it?’
‘I’m sorry but I don’t think I’m ready for this.’ As soon as Holly said those words, both her heart and Artemis’ practically broke. She knew she was ready but she was afraid that she would get hurt. She loved him, she knew in her heart she did but she didn’t want to ruin their friendship if he didn’t feel the same way. ‘I’m sorry but I can’t do this.’
‘Why?’
‘I… I just can’t,’ Holly replied as she turned away and practically ran out of the room. Tears streaming down her face, she ran up to the bedroom she had slept in last night and collapsed on the bed, her small frame shaking with sobs.
While Holly ran, Artemis was left dumbfounded in the ballroom. Slowly, he left to go to his room. As he past Holly’s he could swear he head gentle sobs coming from the room. He decided to leave her alone and left. He entered his bedroom, slowly closing the door behind him.

A/N: Hey, how was that? Please let me know. Just push the button below and review and tell me how it was. The lyrics were from the song ‘Going Under’ by Evanescence.
