"So Ivy, what do you want to do now?" I look over to Zilla. Her emerald eyes seem to glow in the dim candlelight. Her jet-black hair lays a little past her shoulders and ends where her off-the-shoulder dress starts. I look outside at the night sky. I gasp and run over to the window. I can see almost all the stars. "It is beautiful isn't it?" Zilla asks walking up next to me. I feel her hand wrap around my waist and I lay my head on her shoulder. "Why don't we take a walk through the gardens? It is so nice outside..." I ask. Zilla nods, "That sounds like a wonderful idea." She takes my hand and we walk outside and down the stairs into the garden.
Hand in hand we walk through the garden of black, red, and white roses. The stone brick path winds through the trees, the stars of twilight twinkle above our heads and the moon lets off a subtle but brilliant light. Zilla and I follow the path until we reach a hedge maze at the end of the gardens. "Shall we?" Zilla asks leading me into the maze as she walks backward, looking into my eyes. I smile as we walk into the maze.
Zilla leads me through the twist and turns I've come to know so well. We enter the center and sit on the edge of a great marble fountain. The clear water reflects the moonlight into Zilla's green eyes. A light breeze blows through the maze making me shiver. "Are you cold?" Zilla asks rubbing my arm. "A little," I say as I drag my finger through the cold water. Zilla giggles and lifts my chin with her finger, "Well then we better go inside before you catch a cold." I laugh and she lightly kisses me on the lips, sending yet another shiver down my spine. "You know that's a myth right?" I say as Zilla gets up and runs away laughing, "Hey get back here!"
We continue laughing and chasing each other through the hedge maze. When we finally emerge from the green walls, Zilla turns around causing me to run into her. I crash into her and we both hit the ground. I push myself up with my arms and try to blow some hair out of my face. Zilla laughs and brushes my hair behind my ear from under me. I look down and my face flushes as I realize what kind of position we're in. I try to get up, but Zilla grabs my waist and pulls me down into a kiss before I can move. The kiss is long, romantic, and passionate. When we finally break apart Zilla smiles the way she does after every kiss "Why don't we head inside, You're shaking." You didn't help with that.
