Arthur & Mary

- Arthur -

"You knew I would sing it? Even I didn't know i would!" and it was true.

A huge lightning lit up the entire room and it was followed by a raging thunder. Then I remembered: the umbrella.

"Do you want a ride?" she said as she smiled at the windows.

"Sorry?"

"Do you want me to drive you home?"

"What makes you think I need a ride?"

stupid stupid stupid stupid you should have said yes stupid

"I don't think you need. I just found a reason for us to talk more while I drive in the rain."

"Usually people are excited if they dance in the rain, not drive in it."

"Well, I'm not an usual person."

"Thanks for the notice. Do you want to go now or..."

"I'm fine whenever. As long as you don't know Set fire to the rain to teach me..."

" Oh, i know that. But, seriously, it was the last song i would have thought of. You want me to teach you?"

"Obviously" she said as she took a seat on the right part of the bench and left enough space for me to sit on the left part. And I did.

Her lips were moving slowly as she named the keys and played the intro on and on until she learned to play it fast. As I showed her the next part, she started to sing: "I let it fall, my heart, and as it fell, you rose to claim it..."

- Mary-

I sang. I forgot I shouldn't sing in front of others and only in the shower, but I forgot. What should I do if I forgot?

Somehow, I wanted to let him know I can sing too.

After that I took him home.

"How did you know where I live?"

"We're neighbors. Your parents and little brother wouldn't stop bragging about it."

"You met them already?"

"The hazelnut pie was delicious. Hazelnuts are my favorite."

"You're welcome."

"You baked it?" He blushed. "You made it?!"

"See you tomorrow" he said as he got out of the car and ran to his house.

Unbelievable.

-Arthur-

This is unbelievable, I put the hazelnuts in there just for the kicks, i'm not even sure it tasted right. She's something else.

"So you are friends with Elsa" Jimmy welcomed me as I entered the house.

"Who's Elsa?"

"The girl next door. She looks just like a brunette Elsa."

"Her eyes aren't blue either."

"They are pretty enough to be Elsa's."

"You met Mary and didn't say a word about it?" I asked mom as she exited the kitchen.

"Oh, I knew it! John, he met her at school! Told ya!"

"How did you... nevermind."

I walked to my room upstairs and I slammed on the bed.
