Losing Myself

Surprises

Emerald skies,Granite floors,
A surprise hides behind every door.

As we approached my house,I started to get more nervous. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders,giving a soft squeeze to one,"It's going to be fine." Sebastian whispered,removing his arm as we walked up to the door. I sighed and opened it,seeing mother and father at the table. Once they saw me they stood up,"Hello dear,we've been waiting! Did you invite the boys?" Father asked. "Uh,yes." I stepped aside,allowing Sebastian, Remington, and Emerson to step in. "Oh my! Would you look at how handsome they are!" Mother exclaimed, giving each of them a hug. Father came up and shook their hands,giving them a hello each.

I stood there embarrassed, not knowing what to say next. "Elizabeth, would you mind introducing us? I know names,not faces!" Mother chuckled. Before I could speak,Emerson spoke up,"Hello ma'am, I'm Emerson." He said politely, taking his hat off and bowing. "Such a lovely boy! And please,call me Jenny." Mother replied,Emerson nodding. "I'm Remington, pleasure to meet you,Jenny." Remington said,kissing her hand. I giggled to myself as she blushed ,"Charming young man I see. Pleasure to meet you too. And you must be Sebastian!" She said,walking up to him and giving him another hug,"Yes ma'am I am." He hugged back and bowed. "Ah,I've heard a lot about you! Such a charming and dashing fellow you are." Remington and Emerson looked as if they were going to explode with laughter. "You have?" Sebastian asked,"Oh yes,Elizabeth here-","So how about dinner?" I interrupted my father,"Elizabeth Anne! It is rude to interrupt your father!" Mother scolded,"Sorry mother." I said sitting down. I noticed three more chairs had been placed in the dinning room. "No,my dear she's right. I'm hungry after my trip to the market!" He chuckled and everyone sat down. Emerson & Remington were on the opposite side of me,and Sebastian was by me,mother and father being at the ends.

"So,boys,how'd you meet Elizabeth?" Father asked,"Well,we were walking along the outskirts of the forest looking at nature and we bumped into her." Emerson said,lying if course. We sent each other smiles. "And then after that we started talking about animals and the rest,is obvious. We became friends." Remington concluded the story,smiling and taking a bite from his ham. We talked more as the boys answered their questions, of course 95% were lies. Then,the conversation I dreaded came up. "So,Sebastian. Elizabeth seemed to have taken a liking upon you these last couple of weeks." Mother said,winning my way. I just sat there playing with my food,blushing. "Ah,yes. I can't lie,I have taken a liking in her as well. She's just such an intelligent,beautiful, kind young girl. Having conversations with her is what caught my eye. She knows so much for her age." Sebastian smiled,his foot taping mine gently. I blushed deeply at his words,was he just saying this for my mother? We had had many long thoughtful conversations, but I never thought they meant much to him. "Oh yes,she does have talent in talking." Father teased,earning laughs from everyone,but I stayed quiet,smiling at the thought of Sebastian liking me. "How about you,Elizabeth? When did you start liking Sebastian?" Mother asked. At that moment, all eyes were on me.

Sebastian's POV
(I won't be doing this much. Just saying :) )

I looked at her,smiling at her beauty. I meant every word I said about her,she is intelligent, kind,and beautiful. The conversations we have together mean everything to me,even the silly ones. I don't know how,but I'm falling for her. And I can't be caught.

Suddenly her mother,Jenny,asked her when she started liking me,which of course,she now had my full attention. "Well,this one time right before it got dark me and Sebastian met uh,in the front by the chicken houses and he handed me a rose. I then realized I really liked him. He's just been so sweet to me,they all have,of course,but Sebastian just had something to him." She explained. I smirks slightly, catching the lie. She was talking about how I climbed to her bedroom window that one night. I couldn't help but she her again,I had to. She makes me feel 17 again,and I love it. I love her.

Elizabeth's POV

After I explained,I felt Sebastian looking at me,so I looked up. He was smirking slightly,in deep thought. "So,are you two going to get with each other?" Remington asked, smiling. "Oh,uh,I don't know..it's a bit too soon for that." I said. Sebastian nodded in agreement,"I agree. We should at least wait a few months,I wouldn't want us to be together and then we realize it was just a simple crush." He said. Everyone agreed.

After that conversation, we all finished and it was time to say goodbye. Each of the boy gave my parents a hug,saying good bye,and I gave them a hug too. When I hugged Sebastian, he whispered in my ear,"I know for me,it's not a crush. Wait a while though." He said letting go,placing a gently kiss on my cheek. I nodded and smiled. "Well,its been such a pleasure having you boys here. Well have to do it again!" Mother smiled,they all agreed.

After they left I went upstairs,did my nightly routine, and went to bed.
