The Unexpected Always Happens

Bonding

The Ball finally passed and let me tell you it was a nightmare, Lana had been treating me like dirt and Zelena has been so annoying as well. I know she's my queen but still. Although what made it bearable was the way Colin would look at me and in occasions talk to me. I don't know why but I just wish I could be with him more but with Lana in the way there was no chance.

I just can't get him out of my mind. The way he was when those men attacked me honestly left me speechless, no one had ever done that to me before. His eyes are just so dreamy, the hue of blue his eyes gave made me lose myself. Just everything about him is perfect to me. I honestly hated the fact that Lana had interrupted us when we were about to kiss. But what I was feeling, a right feeling to have?

Rhea and I were in our room laying down on the bed after a long day of still trying to clean up from the ball that happened two days ago. I sat and I noticed Rhea was uneasy. "Hey what's wrong?" She sits up and leans against the wall. "Nothing why?" I give her a straight face. She laughs.

"I was just..." I laugh "You were thinking about Ian?" I say in a taunting tone. She scoffs. "Shut up Jen, you were probably thinking of Colin." I gasp. "No I wasn't," I say as my cheeks were turning bright red. She then chuckles. "Then why are you turning red?" I scoff. "Shut up Rhea," I say and we both laugh then sigh.

"What's wrong Rhea?" She sighs. "I don't know about Ian, I mean we really haven't had an interaction since I kissed him." I gasp. "That's right you kissed him." She sighs and nods. "I mean it was amazing but you wanna know what was weird?" "What?" I say as I covered myself with my blanket.

"When I kissed him I saw flashbacks of some sort." I gasp. That's odd, I've been having flashbacks too, but I get them when I'm with Colin and Rhea gets them when she's with Ian? How weird. "Oh really?" She nods. "Yeah they felt like they were from a past life." I gasp. "Why don't you go and talk to him Rhea, I mean you can be with him, take a leap of faith, love is worth it." She sighs.

"Im scared Jen, what if all I'm seeing and feeling is not real, and it's just an illusion." I sigh and extended my hands. "Come here," I said and I hugged her. "Look you'll never know until you try but from what I see he likes you and you like him, do it, take that leap, risk it all you deserve it." She sits up and a tear rolled down her cheek. I wiped it as I caressed her cheek.

I felt strange, I mean I did have affections for Rhea but I felt like she was my daughter. Rhea smiles. "Man I feel like your my mom," she says and I laugh. "I'm probably the closest thing you have to a mom." She nods. "So do it, take that risk be happy." She nods. "You deserve to be happy too." I sigh.

"It's too late for me, but you're not too late." She scoffs. "You're never too late for love Jen." I chuckle. "When you get to my age you'll understand that it is but hopefully you won't be single so you won't have to worry about it." She sighs.

"I know you like Colin, Jen." I laugh. "Yeah but what does it matter, I can like him all I want but there's no chance I can be with him." She sighs. "Why not?" I chuckle. "Rhea, he's with Lana, she is ten times better than me, I'm just a maid." She sighs. "Im just a maid too yet you're telling me to accept my feelings, so why shouldn't you do that too?" I smile.

"But see I don't know if he likes me Rhea." She laughs. "Are you kidding me, Jen?" I laugh. "What?" "He gets nervous around you, and I see the looks y'all exchange to each other." I laugh. "And he did save me from falling to my death." She gasps. "What?!!" I nod. "I didn't know, why didn't you tell me?" She scolds me.

I laugh. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to worry you, yeah I was at the market and these guys went after me and yeah long story short Colin gets there when we are at the end of the cliff and one of the guys let's go and Colin grabs my hand as I'm dangling over the cliff." She gasps.
