I Fell In Love With Tarzan

Chapter 6

"Seriously Liz, you gotta get out of there!" Melissa shouted from the other side of the bathroom door. "You've been in there forever! I need to pee!"

"I'm never coming out, I'm too embarrassed!" I shouted back.

"Just get dressed so we can watch the light show at Cinderella's castle! There's only an hour to go!" Melissa complained. I sighed. I was really embarrassed, but I didn't want it to ruin my friends night. I then continued getting dressed in my black skinny jeans and a sweater (it didn't want to catch a cold). I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my reflection. I looked so defeated and worn out. But I couldn't do much about it. I then opened up the door and went out to our hotel room. Melissa almost  rushed through me and closed the bathroom door. I went over to our make-up table and thought that maybe a little eyeshadow or concealer could make me look a little less "dead". 

It helped a bit, but not much. I applied some dark red lipstick and did a little cat eye make-up with my liquid eyeliner, brushed my hair and put in my white sneakers. 

Melissa then came out of the bathroom in her white laced dress and a lavender leather jacket. 

"You look nice." I said and tried to smile. I had been excited about seeing the light show at Cinderella's castle the past three days, so I didn't want to act like a child. 

"Thanks, you too." said Melissa and winked at me. We heard a knock on the door. The boys were here. Melissa opened the door. But she didn't say her usual "Hiiiii!". So who was it outside in the hallway? I went up to her and saw Bryan.

"Hey Elizabeth." he greeted as if nothing was wrong. 

"Hi," I said and walk closer to him. "please don't call me that. Just Liz or Lizzie." Bryan nodded and smiled. 

"What do you want?" Melissa asked.

"Mel!" I said and nudged her side.

"What? We're on a tight schedule." she said and looked a Bryan with a judgy-face.

"You're going to Cinderella's castle?" Bryan asked. I nodded. I couldn't stay mad at him forever. I had decided that no, of course he wasn't in love with me now. But eventually he'd fall in love with me. For what it's worth, we'd stay here for quite a while. 

"Cool! I was actually going there myself. Maybe we could talk about you getting that job?" Bryan asked. I felt a warm fuzz in my tummy and I nodded. Melissa rolled her eyes and went inside the room to get our purses and my jacket. 

"Thanks," I said. The boys then came out of their room. Tommy looked confused at first when he saw Bryan. He looked at me and I smiled awkwardly back at him. He then too rolled his eyes and smiled.

We then all went outside all the way to the Magic Kingdom. There were about 30 minutes till the show started, and already then were there a gigantic crowd of people. I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Bryan's. 

"Come with me." he said and took my hand. I looked at Melissa that looked confused at me. I then got pulled away through the bushes. Bryan took me through a hidden trail. We then stood by the moat having an amazing view of the castle.

"Wow, this is amazing." I said and looked up at the soon to be bedazzled castle. "How did you find this trail anyway?" I asked.

"Because I'm playing Tarzan, that means that I can sometimes walk on my own around the park. And that means that I've created my own paths." Bryan said. He made playing a Disney character sound more and more amazing. 

"About that job.." I started. Bryan looked tensioned at me. "I actually live in Chicago, not in Florida. But, I really do want to take the job. But things like the casting scares me." I admitted. Bryan looked confused.

"I've never ever asked anyone to go to the casting if I wasn't 100% sure that they would get the job." he said. I looked down. I didn't know what to do or say. For a moment things went silent again. Then Bryan disappeared up in the tree we stood under. He looked down at me and laughed.

"Come on, I'm not playing Tarzan for nothing. You'll get a better view from up here." he said and opened his hand to me. I sighed. I wasn't a fan of heights, but I needed to live a little. So I took his hand and was surprised on how fast he could pull me up the tree. I climbed behind him up to the treetop where we got a better view of the castle. We sat on some of the thicker branches. 

I kept looking at the amazing view and at all the little people who didn't know what amazing opportunities they could've gotten by taking the hidden trail like we did. Things were silent for a moment again. Then Bryan broke it.

"Lizzie, I'd like to take you out... on a date." Everything froze. I slowly turned to face Bryan. He smiled. That made me smile. I didn't know what to say. I just nodded like an idiot.

"Cool, how about tonight? You're friends haven't made any plans have they?" I shook my head- I seriously couldn't believe that Bryan actually asked me out, the same day as when he kinda broke my heart - or at least made me cry a little and feel like a fool. But I wasn't a fool, he cam back to me. 

"Have you ever been at the restaurant called "Cinderella's Royal Table?" he asked. I shook my head again. 

"Well, how would you like going there after the show?" Bryan asked. I finally got some out of my mouth. 

"I'd love that." then we heard music start playing from some speakers around the castle. The show had begun.
