I stared ahead of me at James. He was sitting down next to his father, and mine, talking about business. Seeing as how he is going to be the heir to both of our companies, well it makes sense that hes talking to the men.
My mother was with James' mother, doing something in another room of the house.
Rebecca and I were in the middle of the room, sitting down on two chair with a small table between us. That’s all that was between us. We weren’t even talking, we didn’t have much to say. But at that moment, simply being near her was the happiest moment in my life.
“So, how's school?” I asked her. I was smiling, and simply could not stop.
She looked down at her lap, she was staring at me as if in thought, but when I asked her my question she turned a deep shade of red and looked away. She looked so cute.
“F-fine.” she said while fixing her glasses.
I smiled. “Do I make you nervous Rebecca?” I asked her playfully.
The cute shade of red her face had turned was still in her cheeks, but she looked up at me with a surprised expression. Her eyes wide, her mouth slightly open.
But she didn’t say anything, but her lips suddenly seemed like the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Especially when her small pink tongue ran across her lower lip.
My eyes caught to movement and I found it hard to look away.
“Only a little.”
my eyes widened as I met her eyes. I had completely forgot what we were talking about, it felt weird to know that this girl had that kind of affect on me. I hardly know her, but my feelings for her are so true. I feel like I've known her my whole life.
“W-why?” I suddenly asked her, finally remembering my previous question.
She had a small, secretive smile on her lips. That smile was teasing me, mocking me. it seemed to say- ha ha ha, I know something you don’t know- but I just didn’t know what.
She shrugged. “I don’t know, I guess its because your so perfect. You have everything a girl could ever ask for, and more... and I’m just me. I’m not jealous of the things I have.. “ she said while shaking her head. “it just seems to me like your royalty.”
I continued to stare at her. I understood what she meant, of course I didn’t. No one talked to me, even if I didn’t want to talk to them, no one even dares approach me. Ever, I'm used to it now. But I still kind of hate it, I envy her, she has friends. I see the way she laughs with them, they way they enjoy themselves.
I wish I could do that.
I would give anything to be normal. But most people look at me like I'm important. Don't know why, I never have.
“I'm not perfect.” I said with a melancholy tone.
She looked up at me as if surprised. “Maybe not to you, but to everyone else, you are.” she said shyly, as if knowing that her words were hurting me.
“Trust me, I far from perfect.” I couldn’t even look at her even more. Instead I focused on my fiance and our fathers.
“I'm sorry.”
I looked at her, slowly taking my time to turn my head, but when I did I felt worse that she did. She looked sad.
“there's no reason to apologize, I know everyone thinks I'm perfect...”
“you just wish they didn’t?” she finished for me.
I smiled, an actual smile. “yea” I said in a low tone.
We didn't say anything for a couple of seconds, we simply stared into each others eyes. The rest of the world forgotten, until she stood up.
I looked up at her, confused.
“lets go to my room.” she said while smiling.
I nodded and stood up after her, she grabbed onto my hand and held onto it. The whole entire way to her room.
I felt extremely happy, I couldn’t think of a single way anything could end my happiness.
“Here we are.” she said shyly.
I walked in through the door and stopped.
Her whole room was painted a light yellow color. Her bed was huge, and in the center of her room. The covers were also yellow, with small light butterflies all over. She had a small balcony that I could see, and then she simply had a dresser drawer, and a vanity.
Then I turned to look at her in her beautiful dress. Its funny to know, that although someone dresses in pretty dark clothes in school, even a nerd like Rebecca has a different life when she's alone.
“I like the color yellow” she said while smiling. She walked past me and into her room, past everything and onto the balcony.
I followed her out onto her balcony and saw her seated on a small couch, staring out into the night sky.
“then why not wear that color at school?” I asked her. She is kind of an out cast.
She looked at me and smiled. “my parents hate the way I dress. I do it to annoy them.” she said with a shrug.
I sat down next to her and relaxed. She laid down on the couch and placed her feet on my lap, her heels were off and she seemed to relax.
“it's nice out here” I said while watching her.
She looked at me and smiled. “that’s why I love my room. When ever I'm sad, or I just don’t feel well I like to come out here and look up at the sky.”
I took a deep breath and looked up, the sky was dark, the moon looked to be full. But even then it seemed as though there was a huge layer of fog in front of the moon. The stars were glowing, but we do live near a city so the city lights blocked out most of the stars.
But even then, the beautiful night sky, the fresh air.
“It's lovely.” I found myself saying. “beautiful.”
she smiled. “yes, I think so too.”
