you. And even if I'll never find a decent man I won't be alone because I'll always have the best bodyguard of all times right here by my side. ", Judy says with a twinkle in her eyes and thankfully squeezes his hand.

There probably isn't a deeper shade of red that his face could take on but lucky for him the limousine arrives just at this moment and he is spared the embarrassment to answer.

Just as Ark is opening the door to let Judy in the front door of the house is flung open and Thomas Magnum comes running out.

"Judy! Wait a second. I need to talk to you!"

"What the hell ...?", Judy mutters in disgust.

"You got it all wrong. Let me explain!"

"I think Mrs Winchester understands perfectly well. Now back off!", Ark growls and with a quick movement he's between Judy and the intruder.

"Hey, can't she speak for herself? Your services aren't needed here, Mr Babysitter.", Magnum barks at him and that is probably the last thing he'll be saying for a while because Ark then punches him right in the face and knocks him out.

"I don't know if that was such a good idea ..."

"Sorry, I lost control for a moment."

"It was fucking brilliant though! But maybe we should leave now ...", Judy says and looks at the body that is lying motionless on the driveway.

"He's not dead, is he, Ark?"

"No, I just grazed him."

"Fine. Driver, to the airport, please. We need to catch a flight."

In the car she calls K on her mobile.

"... I'll be home earlier ... Tonight ... It didn't work out the way I'd planned it, alright ?! ... Why are you so happy about that? ... You have to leave? Where are you going? ... Japan ?… .The band, I know… And when?… Tonight?… Well, isn't that perfect timing ?!… Yes, I'm being sarcastic! Have you told Michael yet?… And when did you want to tell him about it?… You'll tell him yourself or I'll rip your head of, Crawd!… Yeah, see you later. Give Michael a kiss. "She snaps her mobile shut with a sigh.

"Everything alright?", Ark asks.

"Yes, he's just the usual jerk, that's all."

"I see…"

During the flight she's yawning a lot.

"Tired?"

"I think the whole day might have been a little too much for me ..."

"That's perfectly understandable."

"May I?", She asks and leans her head on his shoulder.

"Sure ..."

"Thanks, darling."

She falls asleep in an instant and so he is left alone with all the thoughts that are running through his head right now.

Did she really notice how he declared his love for her back then or did she believe he was only joking? Could a woman like her ever fall for a man like him? And if, should they really mix work and private life? Would she ever get divorced from her husband? If they lived together would Michael accept him as his new dad or would he blame him for ruining his parents' marriage?

Only when Judy puts her arm around him in her sleep he gets interrupted in his thinking. She lets out a little sigh but this time it's a satisfied one and there's a smile on her face.He closes his eyes and a warm feeling is spreading inside him.

His eyelids flip open again when Judy starts moving her hands as if she was stroking his chest. He looks at her but she's still sleeping. He wonders what she is dreaming about. About him ??

This time she doesn't see him blushing but he still feels that this isn't the right way to approach their new relationship. If she's stroking his chest she should at least be aware of it !!

So he takes her wandering hand, holds it for a moment and then gently puts it back to her side. She'll never know ...

Backstage:

N / A? Surprised??

Well, that was probably my first real short story, if you follow the definition I learned at school: open beginning, open end, no introduction (if you ignore the blubber at the beginning ^^), no more precise Descriptions of the characters or locations.

I probably wouldn't have been able to keep writing a long story entirely in English either. Although it was fun too.Somehow you express yourself very differently in a foreign language.

Since I am studying translation, but English is not my mother tongue, a few mistakes may have crept in. (Well, that happens to me from time to time in German too ... XD)

This story actually only revolves around Judy Winchester and her men’s stories and is therefore also my first FF from Gravitation. In addition, the whole thing takes place mainly in and around the residence of Mr. Thomas Magnum in Hawaii. (Oh no, how was that? The house belongs to Robin Masters a.k.a. Robimastschwein XD)

I was inspired by our super great Gravi-RPG, so my two favorite regular players Luzi & Roro are somehow involved in the creation of this story. I hope you don't have to be ashamed of it now ... ^^ °

And at the beginning I really thought about writing the whole thing in Judy's gibberish-English mishmash, but since the story isn't always that funny, it didn't seem so fitting to me.But maybe I'll pick it up again somewhere ...

So see you soon in the sequel to How to Enter the Grand Line in a Nutshell.

Your bunny * wink *

PS: I still don't know if "dick-controlled" is a real word ... XDD
