Through Ruby Glass

10

(11:45am)

Adding the last bobby pin to her hair, Myla sits down on her bed, waiting for the guests.
When she hears the door bell ring, she gets up, and walks down the stairs. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw the 'Millers.

"hello dear, long time no see"
Molly aka Mrs. Miller, kisses Myla on the cheek, and Myla shakes Mr. Millers' hand.
When she turned to greet Daniel, her heart stopped. God he's beautiful.
His black hair slicked back , his blue eyes staring at her, his pink lips twitched up to form a smile.

He was truly a goddess.

Shaking his hand, they all head to the dining room, the chef setting a plate of pancakes and a side of mashed potatoes, infront of Myla, as she wasn't huge on breakfast food.

The elders were engaged in their own little conversations, when she hears a deep voice speak up.

"My names Daniel darling, what's yours?"
She looks up at him, his blue eyes so pretty.
"My name is Marlina"
One of the rules of mannerism, is always using your birth name.
"That's a pretty name, just like you"
He smiles, as she goes all red.
She noticed a pretty ruby ring on his finger.
"Staring at my hands darling"
She goes all red again. Mad did he know how to make a girl flustered.

"I was looking at that ring" She defends herself. He looks down at his ring, smiling to himself.

They all finished eating, and Myla's parents decided that her and Daniel, should take a walk in the garden.

Walking through the beautiful garden, the sun shines, inhancing Daniel's eyes.
"So how old are you" She asks.
He sighs for a moment, and looks back at her.
"22"
Her eyes widen for a second, he was older than her.
"I'm 18"
He smiles again, this time right at her.
"You're just a little girl aren't you"
She frowns at his words.
"I'm not a little girl"
"Ok little one"

She huffs, as he walks away from her, reaching up to a lily, and tearing it from its place.
She furrows her brows at him, he wasn't supposed to do that.
"You're not allowed to take the flowers Mr"
He turns around to face her, their bodies closer then before.
He takes the flower and places it in her hair.
"You're Pretty like a lily"
She stares up at him, his words making her heart ache with adornment.

It seems with each breath the took, they got closer, until her upper body touched his.
He gives her the most genuine smile, as he leans down.
"Mr. Miller, your parents are waiting for you"
they get interrupted by the butler, but Daniel still pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"Goodbye darling"
He walks back into he house, leaving her with butterflies erupting in her belly.

Walking back into the house, she grabs king from the couch, and walks into the living room.
"Hello"
Her parents give her a soft smile, as her mother puts down her book.
"So did you and Daniel have a nice time"
Her mother smirks at her.
"Yeah he's very nice, I think we can be very good friends"

"Well he left this for you"
Her mother passes her piece of paper, with a number on it.
His number.

"Well I think I'm gonna go out today, it's very pretty outside"
Her parents nod, and she goes upstairs, pressing the piece of paper to her heart.

He's so cute.
