Detective Liam Niles: The Diarium of Lady Tauna Drake- Second Edition by BONITA HIGHLEY - HTML preview

The following morning…

Pastor Drake placed his suitcase inside of his car. “Liam, come see me off. I have a meeting tonight and will not be here until the next morning. Liam, Tauna seems a bit stressed. She needs to have some fun and relax, ok? See you two tomorrow.”

Liam gives him a salute. “Will do sir.”

Pastor Drake got into his car and drove off.

Later that evening…….A stormy night.

In the kitchen, Tauna, reaching up to put away the last dish, heard a thunderbolt outside. Her hand in dish barely fumbled with tension.

Liam, witnessing her troubled moment. “Dear oh dear Miss Drake. According to your father, you, my dear, need a wee bit of fun.” Taking a chilled bottle of Guinness from the fridge, popping the bottle opened, he slowly drank his brew.

Tauna paused to give him a long look. “And what kind of fun is that?”

Liam, poised. “It’s called storming the castle. On this stormy night. Let’s see what’s lurking behind these castle walls. The shadows on the walls showing silhouette images of god knows what of your imagination.” He gazes at her in intimate challenge. “So Miss Drake. Are you up for what you may find?” He extended his invited hand to her.

Tauna, taking his Guinness drink from his hand, taking big swigs until half full bottle, giving it back to him. “You’re on.” She lay her hand into his.

Liam, taking his last few big gulping swigs, placing the bottle onto to the table, then taking Tauna with him into a medieval adventure as the lightning strikes ablaze across the arched windows casting shadows onto the dark wall’s castle, she leap startled into his arms. His smirks of giddiness continued his steadiness. Once again, a little further down the dark corridor, the wind howled loud. Once again, she huddled toward him.

Liam smiles at her. His hand locked into her hand, leading her into his mystical investigated world.

Tauna, with glee, enjoying every step.

The rain falling hard around the castle, the thunder clapped, she clung to him in fun, he playfully grabbed her waist, as he swung her around with him as they rotated then held her close, as she playfully pulled out of his arms, then ran from him in jovial mischief further down the moonlit corridor, her auburn hair flowing around her shoulders in her smile, as Liam pursued her in his running stance after her as though in a slow dream like state. Grabbing her again, together as he lay his forehead next to hers gleefully, his dimpled smile as deep and wide as his endearment happiness toward her.

Liam ,in amusement. “Are me lady having a good time

tonight?”

Taua smiled,laughed “Yes.”

Liam smiled his dimples wide. “Good.”

Tauna playfully grasping his trenchcoat “I really, really like you.”

Liam smirked his dimpled smile. “I like you too love.”

Tauna smiled. “You are my knight in shining armor…. And I’m an heir to this old…ancient….castle.” She tapped unto his chest with her finger. “Come, rescue me from the dragons. “

Liam raised his brows up and down, He picks her up into his

arms, carries her down the corridor.

Pastor Connor walked inside the chapel. sees them, astounded. “Or lord, what am I supposed to do with you two. Look, When I told you both to have some fun, I didn’t mean that kind of fun!”

Liam sees him, stops. “Sir, You’re back!”Welcome home Sir.”

Tauna sees her father with dread.

Pastor Connor with huge sigh. “The meeting was canceled. Liam, you are a true gentleman, thank you for protecting her. But you know I don’t Like my parishioners running amok in my church. Look, just control yourselves…don’t ever allow it to happen again.”

Liam Placed Tauna down to her feet. “Yes Sir. Thanks sir. And now, my duties await.”

Pastor Connor, taking a dumbfounded look at them. “Oh Lord, what am I to do with you two. God help us!” He turns to his room, then paused, turns back to them again. “This, is not a relationship,… is it?

Tauna instantly looked at Liam for guidance.

Liam quickly glances between him and Tauna with a quick off and on smirk of reassurance. “God only knows sir.”

Pastor Connor, straight face of trusting but puzzling

expression. “Oh. I knew this day was coming….I think. And Liam, I want you to continue with finding the ring.” walks back into his room.

Liam stood in honor. “Yes, of course sir.” Looks at Tauna, stood close together, with gentle smiles to each other as he kissed upon her lips tenderly, pulls back to view her again. “There, the kiss. Right. I shall see you later, my love.” He leaves onward to his assignment.

Tauna satisfied. Watching him leave, her smile showed with love.
