chapter 2

AARON

"You are so beautiful..." is what I heard or am I mistaken? Did she just call me beautiful, what an odd thing to say to someone you've just met? I stared down at her and our eyes met. She had emerald green eyes and ginger hair from what I could see from what the shawl on the head exposed, her skin was a perfect shade of olive. She.. was...indeed beautiful, suddenly she moved away from me. I noticed the tint of pink on her cheeks as she stepped back."Who are you and why have you been spying on me?" I noticed her eyes go wide as of was caught stealing.

"Caramels! I was caught" I think I heard her whisper, now why was talking about Caramel, she's a strange one. I just stared at her waiting for a response but still being wary. What I'd she is from the enemy party, I had to be very careful. She slowly looked back at me seemingly more nervous. The light tint of pink on her cheeks became even darker."I'm Vivian, it's a pleasure to meet you..", her voice was soft and gentle it held the elegance and manner of a noble. Is she a runaway?

"Why were you spying on me?", I asked eyes peering down at her." I-I wasn't spying!", she seemed so nervous and shy like a baby fox. It was cute...wait cute, what the hell am I even thinking? She could be an enemy and here I am thinking about the appearance of this girl. She fiddles with her shawl nervously and looks back at me, it's looks like she wants to say something but is not sure of what to say. I looked at her menacingly and asked again." Tell me why you were following or ilk have to find another way to get it out of you", her face held a flicker of fear as she took a step back.

"I... I wasn't planning anything bad intentions, i-i actually like you" she said in her voice becoming quieter, I grabbed her arms and pulled her closer to me. Suddenly I was attacked by the scent of citrus and vanilla, she smelled so good it took a lot of strength not to pull her closer to get a proper with of her scent. She let out a little gasp as she was pulled by me." You expect me to believe that you like me, you haven't even properly met me what nonsense."

VIVIAN

My cheeks burned in embarrassment for not only getting caught but also my failure to express my feelings, his words hurt a little, but he was right about how I like him if I hadn't properly met him. I've only been able to watch him from behind the trees, sometimes I also question how can I fancy him, but I just do. Hearing his voice sent a certain shiver down my spine and butterflies in my stomach, his voice was deep with a soft tone to it like a charismatic poem that draws one in." You are right that I may not know you but if you give me the chance to...", I didn't know where this burst of courage came from, but I wanted to see him like this and talk to him.

"What's in it for me?"

Come on Vivian, you can convince him you just need to try more. I looked up at his gorgeous gray eyes, eyes that I could start up to every day." There might not be anything valuable in this but it might be a good experience", I slowly began to panic inside who said that...my goodness he is going to reject me. When I didn't get a response I was about to give up but his next words lit up a spark inside me, a twinkling of hope of getting closer to the person I've come to like.
