Alice

The Date III - I love you

"Alice!
Alice, let's go." Her dream came to an end as Mike gently pulled her hand still trapped in between his bicep and forearm.

"Hey, don't leave me alone. All these people seemed to be very courteous but not all of them are happy of  my presence here today, be my shield darling." Mike expressed.

"What do you mean Mike, in what situation have you put us in?"

The waitress guided them towards the entrance. Although it was very chill outside, Mike was sweating profusely.

When they were about to enter the castle, Alice felt a quick pulled on her hand. The next thing she saw was Mike completely spread out on the floor with an unknown muscular man sat on Mike's belly.

"I miss you too buddy." Could be heard from Mike.

"Apparently you know everybody Mike. Even the rugby man, at least now I can say that I merely lost my arm because of your acquaintances."

Mike got up hastily and introduced his friend to Alice.

"A...a...Alice.
Thi...thi...this is my friend fro...from the training camp."

"Mike I swear if you don't stop stuttering, I will murder you. I hate you, you're making me feel like a complete idiot in front of Alice."

"So what is your name? Obviously your friend, sorry... best friend forgot your name." Alice remarked.

"I'm Elias, nice to meet you miss. I hope you can fix him because I have never seen him in this state." Mike's friend replied while giving a kiss on the back of her hand.

Mike was furious, he told himself,

"Get your freaking dirty saliva and lips away from my heiress. Now."

"Nice to meet you too, hope to see you inside." Answered Alice.

The waitress came to inform Mike that his table was ready. He took Alice's hand and went inside the castle. The entrance seemed quite normal and modest compared to the pathway. It has some nice red carpet, potted flowers hang on the wall and golden decorations scattered throughout.

At the end of the corridor, Alice was perplex. The castle was finally living up to expectations when she laid eyes upon the first hall.

She was struck by the decoration of this room and especially the massive and luxurious fountain inside. It was hefty, lodged in the middle of the room, it was the most beautiful centerpiece that she had ever seen in her life.

The fountain was so gigantic that the guest had to walk around it to be able to access the next room.

Some Greek statues made of transparent  diamond ornamented the fountain adding texture and relief to the whole oeuvre. She was flabbergasted by the way it was sculpted and transposed admirably in accordance with the walls and side art.

She noticed a throne carved into the fountain itself. "That's got to be the most beautiful royal seat in the world. Mile who is that person sitting next to the throne and why are they taking pictures of him?"

"Uhmm...um
yeah, that's...that's the grandson of the sculptor. The throne is to be guarded safely. Nobody is allowed in a circumference of 1 meter around it."

"Why though?" She insisted.

"That's a long story."

"I haven't stuttered. Yeah I won. I knew I was better than this stupid stu..." Mike told himself.

"What is that Mike?"

"Um...yeh...yeah."

"What the heck!!! Why are you back stupid stuttering." Mike scolded himself.
