SUMMARY: Fun with LOTR

The evening sun was warm as usual.
"Which lawnmower gave you the mo job on your head then Orli?" Elijah said.
Orlando stood "I'll get you for that!" he said as he jumped on Lij, they were play fighting on the grass, Casey was laughing but Annie sat looking scared, Orli looks up and sees her leaving the table, the play fighting stops.
"Is she ok?" Orlando says "she's been acting real weird lately."
Casey didn't say anything, just nodded, she got up,
"I'm having a drink, anyone else want one?" they handed her their glasses in unison, like a pair of twins. she laughed.

Annie was in the kitchen, she jumped as Casey entered the room,
"Hey, ease up! you're jumpy aren't you?" Casey started to make the drinks. "I know its a year ago today but you got to relax a bit."
"I can't help it," she says.
"You know Orli suspects somethings wrong?"
"Oh hell, that's all I need, him fussing over me," Annie replied.
"He's not fussing, he's worried about you, I think he wants to take things between you and him into the serious stage, you're going to have to tell him about what happened, cos I know you really like him yourself, even love him probably."
She just stood there with her mouth open.
"How do you know how Orli feels?"
"He told me yesturday at Lijs place, we had quite a discussion about you, and no, I didn't say anything, so tell him, you never know, he might be able to help you."
"I wouldn't know where to start." she mumbled.
"Why don't we go out there and tell them together?" she nodded and they carried the drinks between them, Annie sat down next to Orlando and then faced him and gave him a long lingering kiss and hug.
Lij and Casey decided to sit on the grass and they joined them.
"Have you ever wondered why we came to live in Hollywood?" Casey asked the boys as she looked at her friend.
"So you could be a pain in the arse to us!" Elijah replied.
"Well you know all about pains and arses, or so Viggo tells me," Casey beamed.
"Ooooo..." all all he said.
"No, on the serious side of things I think we had better tell you," Casey looked at Orlando, "mainly for your benefit Orli, then you might understand Annie better."
He looked at her, who was looking extremely nervous, scared, jumpy all rolled into one. He put his arm around her and held her close.

"When Annie was 17 she met someone, very charming, the usual thing happeded and they fell in love, he use to go on errands for his Grand-father alot, nng ung unsual about that you say, that's what we thought until we found out his Grand-father was actually the Godfather to the mafia, but kids being kids she didn't listen to any of the warnings she got from everyone and they got mad, sd, still I admit it was a grand affair, loads of people and the actual day cost alot of money.
Things seemed to be ticking along nicely, all hunky-dorey until one day when I met her in the city She seemed really scared and upset, that's when she told me that she had found out that he'd been married before and he had never told her, it seems that his late wife had, had a car accident and was killed, but according to Annie something didn't add up. He became very agitated all the time. She went home that day and after that he wouldn't let me see her, speak to her or have any contact whatsoever. As you can imagine I was getting extremely concerned.
Anyway about six weeks after my last contact with her I had a phone call from Annie asking me to pick her up as she had escaped her clutches and made a run for it.
Casey took a long gulp of her drink, laid on the grass on her back with her head in Elijahs lap and continued while everyone watched and listened.
"I went to the designated area and picked her up, she had a few bruises on her arms and one black eye, apparently he had been slapping her about, if he was in a bad mood after doing something he would come into the room that he kept her locked in and would set about her."
"How did you get away?" Orli asked her.
"The maid came in to clean the room and I hid, while she was cleaning the bathroom I ran, no-one was in the house so I managed to get outside as well and I just ran and ran."
"Do you want to carry on Annie?" Casey asked
"No you do it, please." she replied.
"I took her back to mine and locked the doors and windows and hid the car. About 2 hours later a brick came through the french windows, followed by two big burly men smashing through the rest of it, they just stood there and in walked her husband, "You have one week to leave the country or I'll be ordering your coffin" he said and with that he walked out again with the men following him. She got off extremely lightly, they could have killed her there and then, me as well as a matter of fact. So the next morning I made a few phone calls to some people I knew in Hollywood, I'd talk to them over the internet for quite a while and became good friends over the phone or though we never actually met.
I arranged that we could go over there for a holiday, I had all my belongings, Old Bill and the rover put into storage, ready to ship over when I found somewhere to live. Anyway we managed to get a flight four days later, I left the house in the hands of my solicitors to mend the french windows and get someone in to rent the property, I decided not to sell just in case we ever went back. Luckily, when we came over my friends kindly put us up for a month and I found my place that I've got now and we've been here ever since."
Casey fell silent.
Without saying a word Orlando let go of Annie and walked into the house, Elijah looked at Casey, kissed her tenderly on the lips and said,
"I'd better go check on him," she nodded and he disappeared into the house leaving the two women sitting alone on the grass.
Casey hadn't realised until now that she'd been talking so long that the sun had gone down and the stars were dancing the sky. Away in the distance a storm was gathering and they just sat in silence watching the lightning get closer, lighting up the sky with every stroke, making amazing patterns of lines, fingers and white curtains.
"He doesn't want to know me," Annie finally broke down and cried. "I should never have let you tell them. My one chance of true happiness has gone." she got up and started towards the road where her car was parked.
"Where are you going?" Casey shouted, she didn't answer, so Casey walked after her.
"ANNIE!" she shouted, by the time she got to the garden boundries Annie was in her car and drove off. Casey watched after her tail lights until they were gone and then started back towards the house.
Elijah met her half way across the garden,
"Orli's ok, he just needs to think, it's alot for him to take in right now."
"Let's stay out here for a while and give him some space," Casey said. With that it started to rain and they kissed softly,
"Let's make love in the storm, it'll be so erotic." Casey pleaded.
He didn't need to be asked twice.
