Hey guys.
So for this story, I figured I could go for a more descriptive and rich style of writing, and came out with this.
It actually takes up 3 memos on my android phone per chapter but it's all good. I love the writing i've got down on here.
Please review and tell me how you guys like my new descriptive writing! Thanks!
Artemis sat on his desk chair, his phone inches away. Ever since he had incorporated the fairy technology into his mobile device, he had conferred to keeping it on his person at the most he could.
Holly had just called, announcing she had some break time during her lunch and needed someone to talk to. Most likely to 'Bitch' about Trouble Kelp and his strange attraction to her.
Artemis thought of her coming over. It definitely wasn't her first time in the Fowl manor but in his heart still raced at the thought.
*This damn puberty* he knew, grudgingly. This effect of perverted thoughts did only apply for Holly, in fact he thought about her far more than anything else in his life.
Still, his romantic feelings for Holly stretched deeper than any other girls, and at some point Artemis found himself thinking of them being together.
Even his diary, now contained many paragraphs of his thoughts on her, and them together. He pursed his lips together, and though along he scowled.
He reasoned it was most likely natural for this, in fact his puberty was almost at an end. By then perhaps his romantic feeling would pass.
Artemis regretfully pulled out his diary from his desk drawer, and wrote another 2 paragraphs of his thoughts, deciding that it wasn't the worst feelings to have, and that Holly was probably one of the best people for him to have feelings for, as some of the other people his teenage mind thought about would prove to be uncomfortable or unwilling. Not that Holly would perfectly embrace it. Not even that he knew, as judging romantic feelings had become a jumble of half reasons for his ridiculous mind.
Artemis closed the book, placing it back into the open drawer and slammed his fist on the desk, frustrated by the flow of ridiculous thoughts he could not stop. He took a deep breath, but felt a slight breeze on his neck as he breathed out.
He spun around, knowing exactly who the near silent intruder was.
"Holly!" Artemis quickly shut the drawer, hoping she didn't read the entry. She probably didn't, as she usually liked to announce herself very soon after arriving.
Holly became visible, a wide smirk on her face. "Took you long enough. You usually detect me when I'm at the window."
Artemis pulled out a desk chair for her. "Got a little something on my mind."
"Mm. Mind telling me?" She took off her wings and hung them off the back of the chair, her helmet already off and on the bed.
"Nope."
Holly suddenly stood up, pulling him into a close hug. Her cheek rubbed up against his shoulder, the height difference between them making her seem like a child, or at least far younger than himself.
Artemis blushed at the sudden affection, instantly willing it to dissipate. She pulled back from the hug, seeing his face flushed red.
"Are you okay?" She asked, worried for some part of his mental state.
He lightly pushed away from Holly, not wanting to injure her. He back beaded and sat on is bed. She stood there for a bit before joining him on the bed.
"I am fine."
"Are you sure?" She nuzzled her head against his shoulder as a test and watched his cheeks go tomato red.
"Yes." Artemis looked away, embarrassed for one of the few times in his life. "Would you like something to drink?"
"Yes!" Holly realized she spoke a bit too enthusiastically and tried to fix her voice. "Yes please." She brought her knees together, attempting to look shy.
Artemis eyed her, his face in the slightest of a smile that she could have been imagining it. "My pleasure." He stood up and walked out of the room, strangely shutting the door behind himself though he would only be gone for mere minutes.
Once the door shut, Holly dashed to the desk. The drawer strangely had no lock, and she quickly slid it open and pulled out the book he had written in earlier when she had first came in. She hadn't came in yet when the book had been open, but had seen the book being placed into the drawer and knew what it was the instant he slammed it shut when he had realized Holly had been there.
The book was labeled as a math textbook, but she knew that was just a fake cover and took the book out of the drawer. *Nice try Fowl* she thought smugly to herself
Unknown to Holly, Artemis had a motion sensor inserted into the walls of the drawer, which would have alerted him if he had brought his phone down with him to get her a glass of water. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, it simply sat on the desk. It pinged an alert where it sat but was unheard by the both of them.
Upon opening the books cover, she was many seemingly random and overly complicated math problems. She was sure it was a fake, and flipped through the pages until something caught her eye.
Holly went back to the page she had seen. A rectangle had been cut out inside the paper, and had been done with at least 50 pages. The result was a hole inside the book, holding the label of a diary.
Her heart beat strangely for the moment as she took the book out of the math filled textbook. She realized she wanted him to have written about her in his diary, a thought she would have never believe to have thought.
Holly mentally kicked herself setting both books on the desk to pinch the bridge of her nose. *we're just friends. Close friends. Friends that love eac-* she cut off her thoughts, picking up the book and tearing it open before she could think of a reason not to.
She quickly flipped to the newest entries and saw a couple pages of highly descriptive paragraphs. About her.
Holly's heart rate flew up and broke through the stratosphere as she quickly grabbed her helmet to scan it, making sure to specifically save it to the helmet itself. She could only hope Foaly couldn't see the folder saved to her helmet, or that he simply never investigated it.
She heard Artemis coming up the stairs even though he wasn't particularly loud. She quickly put the diary into the bigger book and shoved it into the drawer, making sure to not create any noise.
Holly ran to the bed and laid down on the end of it with her legs flopped off the end. When Artemis entered, he was greeted with the sight of the quite sexy looking pose, at least from the doorway. His eyes focused on her crotch, and his sex quickly hardened. His eyes moved it her breasts, thought not overly sized they still brought attention to his teenage brain.
His mind instantly wirled to imagine her near clothingless, and while he willed the thoughts away a blush began to creep up his cheeks. The thought was, frustratingly, quite exciting and he near silently punched his own thigh.
Holly heard the extremely quiet punch, but had no idea as to what it was. "Artemis?" She sat up to change her sitting pose, almost as an experiment.
Artemis hoped the blush was gone as he entered to room, a glass of water in his hand. She saw some water wetting his sleeve but didn't linger on it. She could guess it had something to do with the near silent punch sound she had heard.
He quickly realized her change in pose as she sat, her feet wide apart and her knees together to create a triangle that still and obviously presented her crotch.
Artemis made no comment, pulling his eyes away from Holly and focusing on the spot he would sit at. He walked over, and handed the drink to her.
Their hands made contact and he almost forgot to let go of the cup. His index finger rubbed her's, the tip of their fingers touching.
"Artemis? Are you sure your alright?" She pulled the cup slowly towards her.
Artemis regained consciousness and slowly let the drink go as to not fling the water at her. He sighed in frustration, dragging the sound on and making it into a deep almost growl. "I am sorry. I'm not exactly at my best of thinking at the moment."
"It's fine. If anything I don't mind..." Holly replied, a smug look on her face. She took a sip of water as she watched hi react to her smooth sentence.
"Holly, it's not like that okay..." Artemis couldn't figure whither he wanted to fully convince her, or if it wasn't a bad thing she was clued in to his feelings.
"I'm joking. Can we move subjects now?" Holly say him nod and she began her blabbering that would most certainly continue for hours to come.
Holly began to drone on, taking about everything from her job to things that could seem rather personal. She spoke with special remarks for Trouble, as she never seemed too angry about him. It was more of a thing that had grown into her daily life, and his.
Artemis was thankful that she kept on talking, as was she, though for different reasons. Holly could feel her heartbeat speed up and stuttered in her sentence as she tried to calm herself down.
Artemis on the other hand, hopped she had forgotten his blushes to her actions. Still, there was no doubt she still had the memory clear in her mind and would definitely hold it in her mind to annoy him later. At least the thought was put on hold for the time being.
He heard the stutter, but could think almost nothing of it. Almost nothing. He realized she was nervous, or at least for that one second during her sentence.
He almost didn't pay attention to anything Holly rambled on about, but thankfully his mind could listen to her drone on as he gazed over her, almost dreamily.
"What do you think?" Holly broke through the his thoughts with her question. "Artemis?" she waved her hand over his eyes.
Artemis shook his head, taking a long blink before opening her eyes to see her. "Sorry. I got lost in thought."
She looked slightly upset at his simplistic and shady answer. "About what?"
"That is not up for discussion."
"Sure." Holly stood up off the bed. "I should get going. My shift's starting soon."
"Good day Holly." Artemis put on his best sincere smile, slightly bowing in her direction.
"You don't have to be so formal." She lifted her wings from the desk chair and expertly swung them on. She activated them and hovered out the window. "Bye Artemis!"
Artemis stood looking at the window until the buzzing noise couldn't be heard any more. He then sighed and sat down onto the desk.
His heart rate went up as he quickly noted that his desk drawer was slightly open. He checked his phone for the motion sensor, just in case he had left the drawer open, and saw the alert he hadn't heard. The time matched up with his trip downstairs to get Holly her glass of water.
Artemis dropped the phone on the desk, putting his elbow on the desk to hold his face. His heart beat rose enormously, as he thought of the 2 possibilities. He allowed a frustrated sigh to exit his mouth, even willing the sound to drag on with more volume, yet this did not express his frustration.
*Her reaction could either be a no or a yes* He began to stress, more trying to figure which answer he himself would prefer her to give.
*Or yet, she could easily just tell everyone in Haven.* Artemis stood up, only to purposefully flop back onto his bed. Holly most likely wouldn't return until a week or so, thus he had some time. Not that it would help his mental state or anxiety in any way shape or form.
