Wicked Souls

I nodded my head fast.

"Well I'm glad to see that you're enjoying yourself," He then paused for a moment as he ate some of his sandwich.

"Say... mind if I ask you another question?"

I looked at him waiting for what he was gonna ask.

"Well... I noticed how excited you got when you were drinking your strawberry milk bottle, is strawberry milk your favourite?" He asked me softly, he knew that that was sort of an abrupt switch in the conversation, but he still wanted to ask anyway.

"I love it, anything strawberry," I took a long sip of it.

"I see..." He then paused for a moment, he had guessed that answer as it felt like the most logical one, after all, who doesn't like strawberry-flavoured food and drinks?

"In that case... I have something for you," He proceeded to speak in a soft tone before he pulled a small bag out of his pocket, and then handed it to me.

I got excited to see what he had for me.

"Open it up, you'll see..." He then smiled as he waited for me to open the small bag that he had given me.

I held the small bag and slowly started to open it.

Harrow just kept a small smile on his face as he waited for me to eventually get the bag open... he hoped that I would like what he had inside of it, he was confident that I would.

I looked inside.

Inside the bag there was a medium-sized gift wrapped in red wrapping paper, it looked like it had the shape of a box... so it was likely some sort of accessory. The gift's ribbon was still untied also, so I was free to figure out what it was.

I gently took it out and looked to see what it was, I slowly took off the wrapping paper.

When I took off the gift wrapping paper I finally saw what was inside. Inside was a necklace with tiny, little strawberry charms on it. There were a few dozen of those charms around the whole necklace... it was likely made to be a custom strawberry one. The chain of the necklace was made from silver, it looked nice. It was a pretty necklace, to say the least.

My eyes lit up, and I gently held the necklace in the palm of my hand, I could feel my eyes watering up with happiness, and my bottom lip quivered "Thank you..."

Harrow smiled softly as he noticed just how much this necklace had meant to me, seeing me react like this to it had made him rather satisfied, the gift had served its purpose, and seeing me happy was all that he hoped it would accomplish, but he didn't think that it would make me react like this. He really was proud of the fact that he had decided to get me this.

"You're welcome," He spoke softly as I continued to look at the necklace and touch it.

Tears fell on my face, I held the necklace in my hand.

Harrow noticed that I was starting to get emotional, the tears fell from my eyes once more. This was certainly much more of a reaction than he had thought that I could've given towards something like this. But, he was still pleased with it, knowing that this gift meant a lot to me was comforting to him.

"It's alright," Harrow spoke softly once more, he didn't mind the emotional moment that I was going through at all, if anything, he was glad to see just how much this meant to me.

Harrow then noticed that I was still holding the necklace in my hands, staring at it closely. "Would you like to put it on?" He spoke softly as he decided to ask me this question. He couldn't help but notice just how much this necklace meant to me, so he figured that it'd be best if I put it on, especially since he gave it to me.

I nodded fast.

He then smiled as I nodded, so he decided to help me put the necklace on.

"Here," He took the necklace from my hands so that I wouldn't have to struggle with putting it on myself. He proceeded to wrap the necklace around my neck gently himself, he made sure it wasn't too tight on my neck when he put it on, that was important to him, and he did not want any discomfort to be on me.

Once he was certain that he had the necklace on me properly, he then proceeded to smile once more as I felt the necklace on me.

"There you go, it looks lovely on you," He spoke softly once more as he smiled at me. He then proceeded to wait for me to look at the necklace myself, as well as see myself with it on my neck.

"I really love it, thank you," I said gently as I wiped the tears off my cheeks.

Harrow smiled once again as I wiped my tears, he was glad to see that I was happy with the present that he got for me. It made him feel like he made the right choice to decide to get me this piece of jewellery.

"I'm glad to hear that you like it," Harrow spoke softly one more time, his tone was both gentle and soft as he smiled still.

Harrow then looked down at the necklace that I was wearing. There was still a smile on his face as he looked at it, he liked seeing the necklace on me. I really did look quite gorgeous with such a necklace on my neck.

He was still staring at the necklace that I was wearing, he figured that the sight was just too perfect not to look at. Seeing me look so beautiful in it was nice. He didn't mind staring at me for a moment or two longer, he was still so pleased to see this sight.

I glanced up at him, everyone in the cafeteria was gone. I pouted my lips slightly, signalling I wanted a kiss from him.
