Under His Streetlight

Misunderstood

***
Hello fellow members of the Royal Council! I know I left you all on a cliffhanger last chapter, but here's the newest chapter, as promised!

My heart was racing, adrenaline leaving my hands shaky. I couldn't believe that had just happened.

Andy jogged over, grinning. "That was amazing! You did awesome, Aliyah!"

My face heated. "I don't  know about that..." I reply sheepishly.

Juliet smiles. "He's right, you did amazing. You have something very special there." I nod slowly and smile.

"Thank you..."

I feel a sudden squeeze to my hand and realize that Remington and I were still holding each other's hand.

I cleared my throat and pulled mine away, trying to keep it from shaking.

Remington looks at me. "Can I talk to you...? Alone?" He asks softly.

I nod slowly and walk over to a secluded area, Remington following close behind.

"So.... I wanted to ask... would you like to be my girlfriend..?"

I blush deeply. "D-dont you have one...?"

He shook his head. "Nope. Her and I broke up months ago. And if you're worried about me leaving you here, take up Andy's offer of going on tour. We'll see each other every day, and it gets you away from your rotten family."

I considered this, and found two problems: "What happens after tour, and what about my college?"

"You can live with me, after tour, and there's some really good art colleges and universities in Las Vegas, Emerson could get you into any one of them, no questions asked." Remington's eyes sparkled.

I nod. "Okay. I'll do it." A huge smile spreads across our faces and he hugs me.

"Yes!! Oh, you are going to have so much fun!!"

I made my decision.

Let's hope I don't regret it.
