Ch 17- New Competition?

Tessia's POV
Walking down the path towards the main block, I breathed in the fresh air and relaxed for the first time this morning.

He's going to be fine.

I breathed out, I felt a soft smile come onto my face. I couldn't help but let my guard down for a second, I felt a wave of calm wash over me. My nervousness, anxiety washed away.

But I guess one second was all he needed, I turned to my right my eyes met his. His dark blue eyes unlike Arthur's light blue ocean eyes, it was more like looking into the depths of the ocean rather than from above. His dark black hair shone a blue tint, it reminded me of a midnight sky.

I won't lie, it would be hard not to be attached to him.

"Damn! I thought I got you this time!" He snapped his fingers and clicked his tongue, "Well better luck next time." I shrugged.

"That is, if I need a next time." He said as he walked in front of me and took my hand, "Good morning, Princess Tessia." He greeted and brought my hand to his lips.

"Haha, and good morning to you too, Harry." I greeted. "Hmmm..." he circled around me with his hands in his pockets, "What?" I mused.

He placed his hands against the back of his head, "What's got you so happy?" He asked, "Huh?" I quizzed.

"These passed few days, every time I greeted you, you would say "not now" or pushed me away. But now you're joining in on the fun." He said, "What's up with that?" He interrogated with his eyebrow raised.

"It's beca-"

"Wait no, don't tell me." He interrupted he unclasped his hands, "It's about him, isn't it? He's better now, isn't he?" He guessed.

"How did you know?" I asked both confused and curious, "I'm just that good." He stated confidently, "Huh. Then what am I thinking right now?" I teased as I crossed my arms.

"How I'm hot, good-looking and awfully smart." He listed while counting with his fingers, "Did I forget to mention handsome and witty? Just saying, that's not something you come by everyday." He said smugly.

"First of all, no. Second, handsome and good-looking is the same thing, and three that wasn't-" my eyes widen at the sight, at what he was holding in his hand.

"Thank you!!" I reached over to grab them but he lifted them up and away before I could reach them, "You want it~" he teased.

"No." I stated as I walked off, "All you have to say is you were right~" he dangles it in front of my eyes, I got the whiff of the sweet delicious smell.

No. I have to resist...but...another whiff hit my nose...no I have to-

"You were right, now...gimme! Gimme!" I held my hands out, "Here you are." He placed them carefully into my hands.

I opened the cloth, CHOCOLATE CHIP!! I bit into them mmmm, soft, gooey and chewy. I closed my eyes.

I think I'm in heaven.

"Thwis wis sew gwood!" I said with my mouth full, "Bwt..." I swallowed, "ahem what do you want?" I asked with a composed expression.

"Oh how you wound me!" He feigned a faint, "Why thou think me a villain?" He acts as if he's been pierced through his heart.

"Get to the point." I said as I took another bite of my slice of heaven, "Fine. You got me." He said putting his hands up in surrender.

"I need your help with a spell." He said plainly, I choked, "Cough cough, help you?!" As I thumbed my chest trying to get the rest down.
