I sat on his counter with a straight face as he began to pace around. He had been trying to call Alfred, but he wasn't picking up. "Hey! Thank god you answered!" He finally spoke.
"Ahhh... He called Matthew but suddenly hung up without a word?......are you going to his place?.....ahhh... Well........ can you get here?.... Oh great! I'll see you soon!" Arthur spoke. He hung up and looked at me with a worried look. "Did you try to call Matthew?" He asked.
"Yes, but he couldn't hear me!!" I said, shocked. "Well, they were at your place and didn't find you... They've been worried sick," He explained. Makes sense for them to freak out like that.
We suddenly got quiet, and we both stared at each other. "Ummm..... do you .... Ummmm.... Do you want water?...... or....bugs...?"
"Bugs?..."
"You know?"
"No, I don't!"
"Frogs, they can shoot their tongues out...."
"Uhhhhh..... water is fine," I said nervously. He nodded awkwardly and began to put water in a bowl for me. "Here..." he said, staring at me. He placed the bowl in front of me, and I looked at him before I took a sip. He was so interested in looking at me.Well, I guess anyone would be confused and interested. "Are you worried you won't change back?" He asked. "A little..... but there aren't many solutions right now," I spoke. "Too bad if you don't..... I would have loved to hang out with you more... Well... I mean to do human things," he spoke. His face got nervously red, and I smiled at him.
I think that my developing a crush on him is an understatement.
After twenty minutes passed, there was a knock at the door, and he ran to the door. I could hear him tell them to come in and take a seat. He ran back to me and quickly picked me up. "Don't be alarmed about what I'm about to show you," Arthur spoke.
I watched as he approached them and suddenly showed me to them. They obviously looked at him like he was crazy "a frog?...." Matthew asked. "No! Not just any frog! It's Francis!" Arthur spoke seriously. They looked at him even more in disbelief.
"Arthur... You gotta get off the pot..."
"Yeah! Francis has been missing all morning..... can we try and be serious?" Matthew asked. "No! I'm serious! Talk, you idiot!!" Arthur spoke, shaking me around.I held onto him, terrified, and suddenly Alfred pulled me away from him before I can do anything. "Leave the poor frog alone!" Alfred spoke.
"Can you not shake me around so much?" I suddenly spoke. I felt myself grow nervous as I saw their heads shoot toward me.
"Oh my!" Alfred said, throwing me to Matthew. I held my head as Matthew stared at me, horrified. "Ewww! Don't give him to me, Alfred!?" Matthew yelled. He then threw me to Arthur, and thankfully he caught me.
"Guys! It's me! Please stop throwing me around," I said, dizzy. They looked at me horrified and began to come closer. "So it really is you? How did this happen?" Matthew asked. Alfred looked like he was going to burst out laughing. "Yes, it's me..... I don't know how this happened... And I don't know what to do now," I said nervously.
"Pfft! Oh my god, bro! I have to tell Gilbert and Antonio right away! How badly did you piss someone off for them to do this to you?" Alfred laughed, taking pictures of me.
I felt myself grow irritated, and I glared at him. "Can we be serious for a second? I'm a frog! Can we figure out what to do?!" I yelled at them. I looked to Arthur to see if he had my back, but he just looked like he wanted to laugh.
"Did you try kissing a princess yet?" Alfred added. Matthew face palmed and began to shake his head. "Who are you texting?" I asked, annoyed. "Antonio and Gilbert, they have to come here now!" Alfred laughed.
"Really?.... Not those idiots!!" I said, annoyed. They pissed me off a little last night, so I definitely didn't want them here. "What? Why so hostile?" Matthew asked. "Nothing! They just..." I paused, looking at Arthur.
"Well...... they didn't think I was ready to date... And I told them that it wasn't for them to decide..." I said, getting embarrassed. I might be a frog, but I still have emotions.
"Hmmm? Really? I didn't even know you were emotionally involved with anyone?.... I mean, you only spoke to Ar-......ohhhh!!! I get it now," Alfred smiled at me. He began to nudge Matthew, who also understood him. "What?..... what does that mean?" Arthur asked, confused.
"Oh, nothing..... I am all for the idea of kissing someone! Like in the story! Unless it has to be someone specific," Alfred teased. "Hmmm? What if it doesn't work?" I asked, confused. "Maybe you have to be in love with them?" Matthew asked.
"That is so stupid?! I'm not in love with anyone!" I rolled my eyes. I mean, I found Arthur attractive, but I wouldn't say I was in love with him. I don't know him very well.
"Maybe it doesn't matter? Maybe it can be anyone?" Matthew suggested. "Wait! We don't even know if that's what we are supposed to do!!" I said, annoyed. "Ehhhhh?? You got turned into a frog! All the books and movies say that a true love's kiss will break the curse! Or any kiss!" Alfred cheered.
"Child! Those are fiction! And if we are going to go based on that..... I should kiss a princess! And how am I supposed to do that?" I asked, annoyed. I think I was starting to feel myself go crazy from all of this. The fate of my life is in the hands of tweedle dee and tweedle dum.
I would say that right now is worth freaking the hell out about.
