Charming || Descendants

SEVEN

The next day Cleo found Garret and they agreed on a date. Garret agreed after she had given him her best puppy dog eyes. Cleo went and got ready before going to get Garret. Cleo knocked on the door as she held two sparkly blue helmets in her hands.

"For the first time, I understand the difference between pretty and beautiful," Garret says causing Cleo to smile and giggle.

"I hope you like bikes, Cause you're driving!" Cleo says as she holds out a helmet to him. Cleo holds onto Garret as he takes them wherever they are going. They leave the bike behind before walking through the forest and onto a long rope bridge.

"Tell me something about yourself that you've never told anyone, And don't tell me anything boring " Cleo says as she sways from side to side in front of Garret.

"Um... My middle name is Hunter, Because my father likes to Hunt" Garret tells her.

"Hunter?" Cleo asks to see if he was serious, seeing how the names don't really fit together.

"Yeah. Hunter. Just my dad doing what he does best.
Being really, really vile. Garret Hunter ," Jay explains with a laugh.

"Mine's Cindy," Cleo tells him causing him to chuckle.

"Cindy?" Garret asks and she nods. "How princessly. Oh, that's almost worse."

"I mean, you know, It's better than Hunter," Cleo teases causing Garret to laugh.

Cleo then takes Garret to where she had set up a picnic. Garret ate a donut first causing Cleo to smile. "Is this your first time?"

"Mm..." Garret says, licking his fingers with a smirk. "We don't really date much on the island. I'm usually too busy working out and causing trouble." Cleo giggles at his words, and Garret's smile widens.

"Um, I meant, is this your first time eating a jelly donut?" Cleo clarifies.

"Is it bad?" Garret asks.

"You got a..." Cleo says as he starts to wipe off his lips with her blue handkerchief . "Just a...I mean, yeah, do this." She has Garret lick his lips.

"Gone?" Garret asks and she nods. "You can't take me anywhere, I guess." They laugh before Cleo turns a little serious.

"You know, I've done all the talking. Your turn. I really don't know that much about you. Tell me something," Cleo says causing Garret to slightly laugh since he didn't know what to say.

"Well, I'm 16. I'm an only child. And I've only ever lived in one place," Cleo tells her.

"Me, too. I have a brother but we have so much in common already," Cleo says causing Garret to laugh.

"No. Trust me, we do not," Jay says. "And now you're gonna be royal advisor."

"Yeah," Cleo says before looking down.

"What?" Garret asks her concerned.

"Having a royal status doesn't make you a royal advisor," Cleo tells him.

"Well, it kind of does," Garret says causing Cleo to smile.

"No, it's not that simple... Your dad's a thief and a former evil genie, and mine are basically the poster parents for goodness. But hey, who says we have to be like them? We get to pick who we're gonna be, right?" she says with a sarcastic edge.

Cleo explains causing Garret to frown slightly as she brings the conflicting feelings back to his mind. "And right now, I can look into your eyes and I can tell you're not evil. I can see it." Cleo looks at her slightly shocked and she smiles. "Let's go for a swim."
