The Chateau was more than Lindsey bargained for. Her room was nice, it had a little kitchen and a little sitting area, but it was just...very medieval and goddy and it reminded him of the time that recorded Mirage, but he went up to her room with her anyway.
Laying on the little couch when they entered her room was a small Yorkie who started barking as soon as she saw him.
"This is Sulamith, but I call her Sula. My mom got her for me as a Christmas present last year." Stevie smiles.
"Cute..." Lindsey nods, he's not a fan of small dogs, in fact when he and Stevie went and got Ginny, there was a german shepherd he wanted but Stevie talked him out of it, saying that the little miniature poodle would be better suited for their apartment.
"Make yourself comfortable, I'm going to call Karen and see when the last time Sula went out was," Stevie tells him.
"Okay, can I lay on the bed?" He asks.
"Sure." She nods.
He crawls in on the left side of the bed, groaning as he does so and he pulls his boots off and just chucks them onto the floor.
"Karen's coming up to get her to take her out," Stevie explains.
"Alright." Lindsey yawns as she walks over with two glasses of red wine.
"Now, don't go falling asleep on me now." She states crawling up with him and taking her spot on her side of the bed.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Lindsey shakes his head.
"So what do you wanna talk about?" Stevie asks.
"You asked me up here." He chuckles.
"Right...um, I honestly don't know." Stevie laughs sipping her wine.
"Alright then...how'd you hurt your hip?"
"Oh, I was working out. I have a personal trainer. Trying to lose the weight I gained when I was on the Klonopin and she was having me stretch and I think a pulled something because I was limping for a while and now it just hurts if I move it a certain way. But I didn't want to risk wearing the boots you know." She sighs.
"Lay on your stomach," Lindsey demands.
"What?" She questions.
"The hip that is hurting you is your right hip. I noticed it today when you shifted. If you lay on our stomach, your right hip will be towards me." He states.
"What are you getting at?" She asks.
"Just do it dammit." Lindsey states.
She just sighs and places her wine glass down laying on her stomach and then situating the pillows and then Lindsey sits cross-legged next to her hip and he starts massaging it with his knuckle and she starts letting out appreciative moans.
"That's nice Lindsey." She sighs, her eyes involuntarily closing.
"I'm glad that you like it." He chuckles.
He eventually leaves her hip and he massages her back entirely and then after a little while she sighs, "Lindsey hold me."
He just smiles and situates himself into a laying down position and then she moves over into his arms and she throws her right leg over his lap and getting the hint, Lindsey starts kneading at it again until he can feel her grow heavy against him and then he smiles before kissing her head and closing his own eyes.
That's how Karen would find them a couple of hours later when she went up there to take Sula out for her nightly potty and when she got back up there with the dog, she placed Sulamith on the bed by Lindsey's hip and she walked up to his body to situate herself in the crook of his neck on the side that her mistress wasn't sleeping on and Karen lightly chuckled before throwing one of Stevie's throws over them.

Karen wakes them up in the morning and they just laugh seeing that they were still tangled together.
"You two have to be at rehearsals in four hours so try to get ready and like...let's just try to get there on time today kay?" She asks taking Sulamith.
"Yes, mother." Stevie rolls her eyes.
Once Karen leaves they just look at each other and Stevie still has that giant smile plastered on her face.
"Why don't you go get in the shower and I'll head home." Lindsey states.
"What why? I was hoping we could have breakfast together at the restaurant downstairs." Stevie pouts slightly.
"Angel, I have to take my own shower and get a change of clothes." Lindsey states.
"But that's so much driving." She states.
"It'll be fine. I'll make it work. I might be a little late, but that's fine." He shakes his head.
"I don't want you to go." She says sadly.
"You know, you could...no, nevermind you still have to think about Karen." He shakes his head.
"What? Tell me."
"Well I was going to say you could stay with me, but I live in a condo and It's only one bedroom so Karen wouldn't have a place to stay." He shakes his head.
"Couch," Stevie replies.
"I was going to take the couch and let you have my bed." He tells her.
"Oh, well...could, could I talk to Karen about it?" Stevie asks.
"Sure. I'm just trying to save you some money is all." Lindsey gives a shy smile.
"Well, I appreciate it. Lindsey, look at me." Stevie demands.
"Hmm?" he asks rolling his head towards her.
"I wanna try something." She tells him.
"What do you wanna try?" He asks all she does is bite her lip and then a millisecond later she reaches up and she attaches their lips in a fiery kiss. And to both of their surprise, the sparks that had been there so long ago had reappeared and Stevie tried to deepen it by sticking her tongue down his throat, and he let her for a few seconds before he pulled off.
"What was that about?" He asks.
"I wanted to see if it was still there." She whispers.
"What?"
"Those sparks that I felt for you so long ago." She smiles.
"Well, I know mine was still there." He smiles.
"Mine too."
"Good, let me know about staying at my condo with me okay." He pulls away from her.
She just nods and he pulls his boots on before collecting his keys and heading out of her room. And once the door shut she brings her hand up to her lips and she smiles. He was the one that she wanted to start over with.

They were taking a break from rehearsals when Stevie came up next to him at the food table.
"You don't have to sleep on the couch." She states.
"Hmm?" He asks.
"You can sleep in the bed with me, Karen's going to stay at her brothers." Stevie smiles.
"Yeah?" He asks.
"Yeah," She nods.
