Simple? Not a chance!
She breathed in. She knew what she had to do. She knocked.
It was simple. 'Just ask for the necklace back and Dahlia wouldn't have to kill an innocent life,' Iris thought as the door opened.
"Dahlia!" the boy said. She quickly tried to remember his name.
'It stared with a P.' She smiled as she came in. "P- It was a bird. Pigeon?'
"It's good to se you again," Iris said. 'Bird. Bird. P-Phoenix! Yeah Phoenix!' She smiled. "Phoenix."
"Thanks!" he said smiling.
'Man he's cute,' Iris thought blushing. "So what do you want to do? I-I never-um."
"We can just walk you know," Phoenix said. She saw the necklace swing around.
"U-um," Iris said. Phoenix looked at her. "I-I was just wondering. I-If I could maybe have the necklace back." Phoenix stared but laughed.
"Your quite bashful aren't you," he smiled. They went outside. The breeze felt nice. But Iris let the date go on with no other mention of the necklace.
'This is harder than I thought.'
He smiled as he picked up a flower for her.
She blushed as she let him put it in her hair.
AN: So we are reading House on Mango Street in class and it really inspired me. This was probably the first couple I actually shipped. Sorry MayaXPhoenix fans (if it's any consolation neither really was mentioned in Dual Destinies). Anyway so I really got into symbolism and stuff. It's actually a decent book. So since I never really had much story ideas for the two often putting them in other stories but now I can actually do it. Just small vignettes about the relationship. R&R.
The title comes from My Heart will Go On by Celine Dion.
