"Well, I should probably get home. Mom needs me to watch Daisy." Leo said, referring to his little sister. I stood up and we walked out together. "I'll try to be here in the morning." He said.
"Okay." I said and rubbed my arms against the cool night air. We stood there awkwardly for a moment, before I finally gave in and hugged him.
"This is odd." He told me, but I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Odd, but necessary." I sighed and let go of him.
"If he does anything to you, let me know." Of course he would say that. I should have seen it coming.
"I will, but I don't see how you're going to do anything about it." He insisted that he would, but I just shook my head and walked back into the house as he began down the cobblestones.
I sat back down at the table and gave my parents a hug before they went to bed. Once they were gone I sighed and stretched my arms across the table.
"Am I going to have to call you Princess Lillian Valois after all this?" Juliet asked half jokingly. I visibly shivered at the sound of my new title.
"Ah, I've been holding that in all day." I realized and shook it off. "I don't wanna move into a big castle and have this ring staring me in the face all the time." Now it just sounded like I was going to have to read an essay in school. Speaking of school, I'm sure you're wondering how that is going to fit into my princess schedule. Well, at sixteen we graduate here so it doesn't really matter.
"Are you going to have to sleep in the same bed with him?" Crystal asked with her nose wrinkled in disgust.
I groaned at the thought.
"Yeah, probably. If he tries anything I'll...oh wait...I can't say that anymore." I realized and blushed for a second, before I had the ability to shake it off.
"What can't you say anymore?" Juliet asked. Crystal seemed to know what I meant to I guess Juliet was just having a blonde moment.
"I can't say I'll ruin his future because his future is my future and I kind of want kids at some point in my lifetime." I answered. Well, that has to be the most awkward thing I've said all day.
"Oh." Juliet said and bit her lip to hold back a laugh. I pushed her shoulder and smiled.
