Everfree Book 2

"You're eating our living right now. Even my brother Arjun doesn't eat that much. You're a pig, did you know that?" I remarked. He laughed.
"Well you're a bowling ball and salt."
"Why is that?"
"Well, for starters, you're aggressive," He looked at me, taking another bite of his bear, "And second, you're salty." I could laugh at this.
"I take that as a compliment," I said, getting up. "Nice meeting you Arjun, but I gotta roll. Favin is probably worrying his head off about me, and don't insist on coming. He'd think you kidnapped me and send you to the dungeon like he did with Canton." I said, getting my bag.
"Awww, you gotta go now?" Arjun slid the rest of his food into his mouth. I stared at him. He stared at me.
"Ugh, I just can't win. One more hour tops." I set down my bag and headed to the bathroom. "Uhhh... Where's the bathroom again?"

One hour passed, and I started out. Arjun ran after me.
"No!" I said before he could bring out any words. I steadily made my way into the woods, trying not to make eye contact with Arjun at all times. I had made it halfway through the woods and could see the castle in the distance. Almost there. But last minute, Arjun stood in front of me, hands on my cheeks.
"Do you know how mad Favin would be if he knew I was making out with a stranger I met just this morning?" I asked him. A smile played on his lips.
"Stranger? Or would you like to refer to me as my original title-prince of Altanias?" He leaned over and bit my ear. I calmed down and fell to the ground, him on top of me. We pulled together in a long kiss that seemed to have lasted a lifetime.
