Royal Love

Six

*Alexa's*

  It was six in the morning when I had just finished getting ready.

  Wearing a gray crop top tank and jean sleeveless jacket with a pair of ripped jeans and red high tops, I grabbed my sword and floated down the ladder.

  Quietly reaching the door, I held the knob but someone cleared their throat.

  "Where are you going so early in the morning, Alexa?" Marshall yawned.

  I gulped, my cheeks heating up as I tried to hide it.

  His hair was all over the place and he was rubbing his stomach, making his gray tank top go up, showing his stomach, which I swear had abs.

  "Uhm..I'm going to Fionna's. Haven't hanged out in a while."

  "Cool, I'll come with." He grinned.

My head shook no instantly.

   "No no, it's fine. Just go uh, write music or go visit Pg." I smiled nervously.

  Truth is, I didn't want Marshall to come with because the reason I'll be going to visit Fionna is that i wanted to to them about what my weird feeling with Marshall. I assume cake would know. But also we haven't hanged out in a while since the 'shower incident' as I'd call it.

  "Hmm...your not lying are you?" He squinted his gleaming red eyes at me, as he floated around me.

  "Im not, Marshall. Cmon, I gotta go." I chuckled.

  He shrugged and floated away.

"Alright. I'll let you off the hook. For now. I'll just go mess with bubba" he grinned, ruffling my hair.

  "Good. Now I gotta go. I'll see you later!" I waved, running out the door.

•-•-•-•-•-•-•

   "Okay, so what your telling me, is that you don't know what you feel about Marshall? And that maybe it's just because you live with him?" Fionna said, raising an eyebrow.

  "Yes. So I don't really like him right? Right??"

  No, you do like him. You just don't accept that you do. Accept it already!

  My conciousness yelled.

"No sweetie. You know what I think?" Cake smiled.

  Looking at her questionly, my head tilted.

  "What?"

  "I think its best if you find out yourself, if it is love or not."

  Blinking at her, I glanced at Fionna who seemed to agree as she nods.

  "But how will I even know if I do like him. I found him annoying since I could ever remember! How will I get to love now of all times?"

  She laughed, patting my knee.

"Alexa look, you'll know when you fall in love with someone."

  "I know, but how? Is there like, some kind of rule or sign to follow?"

  She giggled and nodded.

"Well, in my books there is. You'll know when that person, or Marshall, is the one you love, your heart will beat loudly. So loud that it will be the only thing you'll hear around you. And he's the only one you'll see. Its as if the two of you are off in another world."

  "So if my heart beats loudly when I'm with him, that means he's the one?"

  "Yeah. But it only happens on the right time. You'll never know when, but when it happens, you'll know." She smiled.
