The rest of the day was just a few tricks here and there, but nothing I couldn't handle. It was around 11:00 p.m. and I was sat at my vanity writing about my day (It wasn't one of my most positive entries). I was mid-sentence when somebody knocked on my door.
"come in." I sighed still staring at my quill. The door creaked open to reveal Clay leaning against the door frame, laundry in his hands. The smell of the freshly cleaned tunics filled my chambers with the smell of lavender and my nostrils were filled with a sense of fulfilment.
"Here are the clothes that disappeared from your wardrobe this morning." He tried to hide it, but I could see a sense of guilt in his eyes. Behind all of the laughter the day at brought him.
"Leave them on the table." It was hard not to show how happy I was to see him again, knowing I wasn't going to have a bucket of mud dunked on me after dismounting my horse. I wanted to ask him if he wanted to spend some time with me (in a romantic way), but let him speak first.
"Can I ask you something George?"
"Sure." I said finally taking my eyes off of the parchment I had been scribbling on.
"So you know how some people care for each other in more.. intense ways." I nodded my eyes narrowing and my head tilting slightly, in confusion.
"I was wondering if you'd want to go to firefly mountain with me sometime?"
"Sure. I heard it was beautiful up there."
"Ok.. uhm tomorrow at 6:00?"
"Sounds good." My eyes started to wander away from his and back to the ink that was dripping from my quill. The tall man walked out, closing the door behind him. As the door closed I heard a scream of excitement coming from outside of my bedroom. I quickly ran outside to see Clay stood their smiling. As soon as he saw me his face turned a bright red and his eyes widened in shock.
"I heard somebody scream is everything ok?"
"uh- yeah I think it must've been a bird."
"ok.." I turned and walked back into my chambers as the corners of my mouth started to curve upwards. Who knows what tomorrow could lead to, but I sure knew what I hoped it would.
