We both sat beside each other and talked about ourselves. She had older sisters and came from a wealthy family but she was to be in an arranged marriage soon and she didn't want to do it. "That's one of the reasons I ran away.... My family was abusive enough and they decided that it was time for me to get married." I explained. "Wow.... I wish I could be like you..... but I know my family would try to bring me back"
"Well... if you ever need a place to hide, I will be here" I laughed. I smiled at her and grabbed her hand softly and I noticed her cheeks getting pink. It was startling how that made me feel. I am not supposed to feel this way about another woman. "Francine.... You are so beautiful"she said softly. My eyes widened and it was my turn to blush. "Oh don't say that"I giggled. We stared at each other sweetly and for some reason it felt as if we were on the same thought.
I think us meeting each other might be the start of a beautiful friendship. I wanted to be around her a lot already.... Maybe it's because she's the first person I have seen in a long time.... But maybe not?

From that day forth.... Alice would visit me every single day. Sometimes when she had things to do she would let me know before hand. She would bring me goodies from the town and in turn I would show her things. Such as how to farm and make things. She says that people always did those things for her so she wanted to learn.
Everyday.... For weeks on end.... She would do the same and change clothes all the time. We began to get closer and closer with each other. I don't know what it was but I think I loved her.... But not anything romantic.... I just loved her deeply, I would do anything to protect her.
Sometimes we would go to the creek and put our feet in. We would splash each other with water and have all kinds of fun. Sometimes she would do my hair and rub my shoulders... other times I would lay beside her and play with her hair as she lay in my arms. We were just really close friends though!!!
This wasn't romantic at all!!!
On this specific night....tonight... her and I decided to dance around my table and sing to each other. "I wish we could stay here with you" she said sadly. I separated from her and held her closely. "I wish you could stay too..." I said softly. She began to caress my hair and my legs melted. I loved when she did that.
I looked at her eyes deeply and noticed how beautiful they looked. I felt myself unknowingly leaning and I noticed how she started to do the same.
What was about to do?
I pressed my lips on her for just a second before I separated quickly. "I'm so sorry!!! I swear I'm not like that.... I don't know what came over me!!" I tried to explain. I'm such an idiot!! Her eyes widened at me but she still continued to caress my hair. "Francine.... Can you do it again?" She asked.
I was shocked by what she said but nodded anyway. I slowly leaned into her and kissed her once more. This time.... She kissed back and it was longer and more passionate. I leaned into her some more and held onto the table as I continued to kiss her.
She wrapped her arms around me and I began to lift her into the table. WHAT WERE WE DOING? If we were to get caught? It would be death!!!
It just felt so good to do this, I didn't know how to stop. I began to kiss her neck and grab onto her thighs as I tried to get closer to her. My face was hot and her body was starting to get hot too.
I held her closer to me and continued to kiss her like it was the last time. "Francine!!" She suddenly said. I stopped kissing her and looked to her out of breath. "We shouldn't do this?" She said like she was confused. She began to grab onto my dress and I nodded in agreement. "We could get in so much trouble" I spoke. She nodded and the two of us began to catch our breaths.
I looked at how close we were and I began to move away but for some reason she stopped me. "Wait...." She said softly. "What is it?" I asked. "Can you do it one more time?" She asked.
I nodded my head slowly and leaned into her once more. This time... I grabbed her chin with my fingers and made her look up to me. "I'm not supposed to like it but I do..... and I think I like you too" I whispered to her.
Her hands clenched my shoulders and her face was bright red. "I think I might feel the same" she answered shaking. I leaned into her and kissed her some more and felt myself getting closer once more. "Stay with me..." I spoke between the kiss.
"I can't..."
"I'll make you happier than any man could"
"I shouldn't..."
"I know that from the first moment I met you I've wanted you.... Stay with me...." I spoke kissing her rough.
"What will we do? They will find me?"
"Then we run away ..." I started.I separated from her and backed away slowly to look at her. "I will sell all of my things and find a way for us to leave" I said lovingly. "I couldn't ask you to do that" she said sadly.
I looked at her again and kissed her cheek. "Then think about it.... And let me know how you feel about it" I whispered to her. She smiled at me and nodded and there was a part of me that wanted her to be okay with it.... But I knew she wouldn't.
