Part 22 - The Truth

Red pov:

My mom just caught us kissing. I thought I'd be able to sneak one, but the sound just echoed in the plaza.

Red: No, we didn't!

QoH: Hmm... then I must have heard something else...

She continued in the plaza as I tried not to blush looking at Chloe. After going in, my mom said I should go check my room.

QoH: Chloe dear, can I have a word with you? Alone?

Chloe looked at me a little nervous but nodded. So I headed to my room. It was the same room and mostly all Red still, but there were some new small details that were not there before.

Chloe pov:

The Queen sent Red to her room and asked me to stay. I wonder what this is about. At least she's not as intimidating as before.

QoH: Come sit with me, please.

And leads us to the living room. I took a seat, and she sat right in front of me. I'm getting slightly nervous.

Chlo: sooo.... what did you want to talk about with me?

QoH: I wanted you to try a new recipe I've made.

Oh, she just wanted me to try one of her recipes? I don't mind that.

Soon, a baker comes in with a small plate and a cute purple cupcake.

QoH: Here, try one. Let me know how it tastes.

I took a bite, and it was really good. It felt like it melted in your mouth.

Chloe: Wow, this tastes amazing. What flavor it it?

QoH: Good, now tell me, dear.... did you and Red kiss outside?

I looked around, hoping Red would magically show up. She didn't, tho.

Chloe: um well kinda?

QoH: kinda? It's a simple yes or no.

Chloe: Fine, we did.

The queen smiles as Red finally joins us on the chair.

QoH: So how long have you 2 dated?

Red eyes widened as she looked me at with a concerned look. I mouthed "sorry"

Red pov:

I turned back to my mom, and l took a deep breath before speaking.

Red: Not long. We kinda became official a few days ago.

QoH: I want to know about you, Red. You were raised, not knowing what love was, right?

I nodded nervously as I'm trying to avoid eye contact.

QoH: So was Chloe here the one to teach you love?

Red: Yes....

QoH: Thank you for being honest with me, sweetie. I must thank Chloe for being such a lovely soul.

She faces Chloe and puts on a warm smile filled with glee.

QoH: I may not have been the one to teach Red love... but I'm happy someone was able to. I was worried after seeing that clip that she wouldn't find love. I thank you, Chloe, for being there for my daughter.

Chloe: always.

Chloe smiles at me all cutesy.

Chloe: All it takes it time, patience, trust, and a lot of understanding. It wasn't easy, but it was well worth the wait.
