Can you be mine?

Chapter 5

The plane was immaculate. It had a small bar for drinks and wine and thankfully for August water. Darius had offered August many different drinks : Diet Coke, Fanta, Coke, Sprite, Cherry Coke and everything in between but August just wanted water as she wasn't in the mood for fizzy drinks whilst flying.

"Honestly I'm fine!" Laughed August as her brother kept making the array of drinks appear.

" I hope you don't mind but I'm going to have some wine."

" That is fine. So how was Bran whilst I was away? I suppose you had many glorious parties whilst you were there?"

" Yes there were many parties whilst I lived with the lady and the man as you call them but the guests were quite lovely actually, you know normally how all the rich and posh people are a bit well like you say full of themselves. They are and were all nice to me always asking where you were of course and I was told to reply ' She has gone away for private matters as I'm sure you understand.' They all looked at me and carried on their previous conversation with me." Said Darius with a slight smile on his face.
"It was actually delightful."

"Well I'm sure you learned a lot from the elders."

"I did was always thinking about you though and imagining in my head you wearing that lovely aquamarine dress that I made for you for when you are 18 and dancing around with some lords or princes maybe eventually falling in love. But I can see the expression on your face and I think perhaps not."

August was pouting and showing a slight sign of cringe as her eyes were looking directly at Darius making him think himself a fool. At that moment both of the siblings burst out laughing with no intention of stopping. It was like someone was waiting for the cork on a champagne bottle to wriggle it's way through the glass neck of the emerald green bottle and suddenly just POP with bubbles continuously falling onto the floor.

"No seriously" Darius said trying to compose himself
"Do you think you will ever fall in love because if you don't you will be stuck with a lord or prince for the rest of your life that you're not in love with." Darius said with obvious concern.

"Honestly I know your right and I sometimes thought about it but I'm not going to worry about it now, as love is a complicated emotion that some people can attract and some people can't."

"Now you are staring to sound like The August I remember, not that you didn't before but you are starting to get your accent back and we're not even back in Bran."

"I know. I'm nervous to see everyone and to have to answer all their questions about where I have been all this time."

"You will be fine don't worry about the elders they only have your best interest at heart if they had one and your change has come at the perfect time as there is going to be a ball tonight. But you need to find a way to accept the lady's help or you both need to co-operate with each other or else you will be in big trouble when it comes to the changing I mean look at me, I'm fine and quite content with her help."

"Fine but if this goes wrong I'm blaming you!"

"Fine. Look we have arrived and it only takes 30 hours in a car and it only took us I think around 11 hours ( I don't actually know how long it would take in a plane). So this means we will get there for about 7:30 pm and that means that you can stay up for the ball after we arrive. But we can arrange that later."
