"What are you doing? " asks Alexia.

" I thought that you might like to go for a walk around the royal gardens" respondes Josh. Josh curves his lips into a smile.

Josh and Alexia arrive at the royal gardens. "The flowers are so  beautiful" comments Alexia.

" Well I believe that you are more beautiful than any flower I have ever seen" Josh says confidently.

Alexia snaps her head around and stares right into Josh's gleaming green eyes.

"Your lying" Alexia snaps looking away from Josh.

"No I am not" Josh says back in response.

Josh puts his warm fingertips under Alexia's chin and pushes it slightly his way. Josh connects his eyes with Alexia's and they hold each other's gaze.

Josh leans into Alexia. Josh and Alexia both close their eyes and lean closer. Josh puts his arms around Alexia's waist and she puts her hands around his neck.

Just as their lips are just about to touch, Alexia hears something in the distant background.

Alexia opens her eyes and moves away from Josh. She stares in the direction of the noise. Josh relises that Alexia isn't in  his grasp anymore.

He flicks his eyes open and stares at Alexia who is staring in a different direction.

"What?" asks Josh.

"Sshh" whispers Alexia.

"Why do you-" begins Josh but Alexia cuts him off by cupping her hand over his mouth.

Alexia dashes to a bush and crouches behind it. Josh follows her unaware at what she is doing.

"What are you doing? " whispers Josh.

" There are rough voices talking about something suspicious over there" Alexia whispers and points over to the green house.
