"So how did your plan go?"
Robin looked up as Owain joined her on the hammock. She smiled at him and stood up, smoothing her dress out. It was a special occasion today for Emmeryn's birthday which Robin was in charge of planning.
"It went perfect. I had so much fun. I loved being able to decorate everything and make a cake."
Owain chuckled. "Thats great Robin, also sorry about Brady, he didn't think you would do a good job and sorry if he said some things. I'm sure it was rough planning with him."
Robin laughed. Brady certainly had a way about him, and Owain had been dealing with him for far longer than she had. She wasn't sure if Owain and Brady still had feelings for each other however. "He does it with love. Did Brady tell you that he, Noire, and I are going to start a party planning shop here?"
Owain smiled at her. "Yeah, he told me when I got to the party. That's AWESOME! Maybe we'll be seeing more of each other."
Robin blushed under his green eyed gaze and charming smile. Despite the fact that he was dating a girl she never even met. A girl from another country at that. They hadn't really seen each other a lot over the past year and it saddened her because she longed for the strong relationship her and Owain used to share.
"That would be nice," Robin said.
They just stood there, smiling at each other for several long moments. Then the moment was broken when they saw Brady walking towards them.
"There ya two are! My new partner and my best friend!" Brady exclaimed with his unique speech as he threw his arms around Owain and Robin's shoulders. "I've been looking everywhere for the two of you. What are you hiding out here for?"
Owain looked at Robin over Brady's head and smiled. "Rob and I were just talking, exchanging words, making the legend books you know," he said.
Brady looked pointedly at Robin over the use of her new nickname. Robin's cheeks flushed and she refused to make eye contact with Brady. He smirked. "Oh, well that sounds like so much fun. Listen, Owain, your mother was actually looking for you. She needs you to taste test, or something."
Owain's face lit up at the prospect of his mother's food, causing both Brady and Robin to laugh. "It is my duty to taste every fragile delecacy of food out there. I'll you see you guys later then," he said.
Robin watched Owain go; Brady watched Robin watch Owain. He shook his head in amusement before clearing his throat loudly, causing Robin to jump. She whipped towards him, her cheeks flaming bright red.
"Could you be anymore obvious?"
Robin avoided eye contact. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Brady rolled his eyes. "Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about, lady. You're in love with Owain!"
"What?" Robin's cheeks only went redder, which did not help her case at all. And she still refused to look Brady in the eye. "That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! I'm not in love with Owain!"
"Okay," Brady said. He cocked an eyebrow. "You're not in love with him. But you definitely have a thing for him!"
"Brady, he is taken!" Robin looked around to make sure that no one could hear them. She didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea… or realize that Brady was completely right.
"Right. Just keep telling yourself that."
Robin lifted her chin and put her acting skills to good use. "I think that you're really blowing this out of proportion. Owain and I were just talking. We're barely even acquaintances."
"Oh yeah?" Brady crossed his arms and stared Robin down, but he couldn't keep the note of amusement out of his voice. The whole thing was really very entertaining. "Robin dear, you check Owain out whenever he walks into the room."
Robin interupted him. "So do you Brady, so does pretty much everyone. Have you seen him? He is gorgeous, doesn't mean I am interested though."
"That isn't all Robin. Your face lights up at even the mention of his name. I see you giving him dreamy looks when you think no one else is watching."
Robin stared at Brady for a long moment before she finally sighed. There really was no use in hiding it anymore, was there? "Please don't tell anyone," she pleaded. "Owain is someone elses boyfriend. I wouldn't do that to her."
Brady wrinkled his nose. "Fine. But I'm only doing this for you."
Robin hugged her friend tightly. "Thank you so much, Brady," she said sincerely. She really didn't want to cause any trouble. It was just best to ignore her feelings for Owain. He probably didn't even think of her as anymore than his old best friend, anyway.
Brady smirked as he hugged her back before pulling away. "Just know that I'll be there to say 'I told you so one day. Robin, you're falling in love with Owain, and it can not stay hidden forever."
