The Door

Did he really just do that?

When I lift the cover off of the tray I am welcomed by the delicious smell of strawberries and a, clearly homemade, croissant. When I bite into the warm and flakey croissant, I am surprised to find a chocolate middle. Woah, that was a shock but I'm not complaining, it tasted kinda like nutella. When all of the food was gone and our stomachs full Luca and I proceeded to walk around the thousands of flowers that were around us.

"So, Rowen?" Luca says while stopping in his tracks.

"Um yeah?" This time I stop in my tracks and look back at Luca. When his face looked contorted with an apprehensive look I knew he wanted to take a moment and talk about something serious.

"Here, come sit with me?" Luca asks while walking to a nearby bench. Benches were scattered everywhere in here so of course there would be one conveniently right here.

"Yeah, what's up? Are you okay? I thought we were having a good time."

"No, I'm having a great time with you but I know that you have to go home soon. Well, at least find a way home; but, I wanted to know if you would stay with me. I want to get to know you more and maybe you could just live here with me."

"Luca you are a nice guy, but I barely even know you." I open my mouth to say something else but before I could even get one syllable out, I feel a pair of lips on mine. My first instinct? Push the person off of course.

"Luca, what the hell was that?"

"I thought maybe-"

"Maybe what?! That if you kissed me I would stay here with you? That I would become your own personal 'princess'?"

"Well, um..."

"Oh my lord. You actually thought that? I'm sorry Luca but I have to go and find Mikey, we have to get home." With that, I ran as fast as I could out of the garden, through the castle, and back to where my best friend said he would be.

"Mikey!" When I finally find the tall, dark haired, and familiar green eyes of Mikey I jump into his arms.

"Woah. Ro what happened? Did that dude do anything to you? I swear if he did anything to you I swear-"

"He, um he-"

"So he did do something?," Mikey says while backing up and getting angry," Where is he? It's okay Rowen, I'll handle him."

"Kissed me..."

"What?"

"He kissed me, he asked me to stay here with him and when I said no he kissed me in hopes of me changing my mind." This time I didn't stutter and I didn't meet Mikeys eyes with my own. I could feel them looking down at me though.

"He did what Rowen!?" Mikey's tone startled me making me look at him; he was red in the face with a firey look in his eyes. He was beyond mad; last time I say him like this was when I was being picked on in the Fourth grade. If I'm being honest it kinda scared me to see him like this.
