I Love Thee [SAIDA AU]

IV

  Darian kindly rejected Selenes' offer but they walked around instead. They went to the arena and sat on the sidewalk.

Darian
   Who knew a walk on the streets with a stranger was all I needed..

   Darian said as she smiled at Selene, Selene on the other hand laughed at Darians' cute approach.

Selene
   Well I didn't know I was going to be a heartbroken girls' therapist.

   Selene teased the and the shorter girl reacted with a playful eye roll.

Darian
   It's nice talking with you and all cute lady.. But it's almost dawn– gotta go home.

   Darian said as she stood up beside Selene and offered her left hand to help Selene up. Selene smirked at the her before taking her hand and standing up too.

Selene
   Okay then cute pale girl, see you when I see you.

   They stared at each others eyes while smiling for a minute when Darian spoke and interrupted their moment.

Darian
   Are we not really telling each other our names?

   They both laughed at the statement.

Selene
   No.. Hmm.. How about nicknames?

Darian
   Rafie.

   Selene looked confused for a second and then smiled as it dawned to her that it's the shorter girls preferred nickname.

Selene
   Julie.

––––––––

   Selene is inside their library taking lessons from Mademoiselle Veja– she's a strict teacher but also a caring confidant..
   Just before Mademoiselle Veja could end their lesson, Monsieur Capulet emerges from the door.

Mademoiselle Veja
   Oh, Monsieur Capulet.. We're just about to end our lesson.

Monsieur Capulet
   Thank you Mademoiselle Veja.. See you again next week.

   After Mademoiselle Veja left, Selene stood in front of her father while looking down. Expecting that her father is still upset of her.
   But a hard slap and a deafening shout didn't came instead, her father hugged her tightly.

Monsieur Capulet
   I'm so sorry my precious princess..

   Selene was shock at first but eventually hugs his father back with he same grip. They stayed like that for a few minutes and Monsieur Capulet is the first to break out of the hug.

Monsieur Capulet
   Let's go and eat some ice cream.

  

   They decided to eat in the garden, where Lady Capulets' favorite flowers are planted. A cup of vanilla and strawberry ice cream on their one hand and a little spoon on the other.
   They're watching the flowers sway with the wind as they ate peacefully.

Monsieur Capulet
   So... When will you marry?

   Selene snapped her head, facing her father with a incredulous and shocked face after she swallowed a spoon full of ice cream.
