The "As Many As You Want" Competition: sky, upstairs, bedroom


Fifteen year old Teddy was staring outside his bedroom window on a rainy day with his chin on his hand. The rain caused him to be cooped up inside and he hated staying indoors. He was currently hiding out upstairs in his bedroom because he knew his Gran would find some chore for him to do around the house. From his window, he could see the large tree in the backyard, puddles forming at its base from the water sliding off the leaves.

A small smile graced his face. It was their tree. He remembered what happened just two days ago. Victoire had come to visit him. She was about to go on vacation and wanted to spend the day with him. It was such as nice day that the two of them decided to just go outside and sit under the tree. Pouring a glass of lemonade each, Teddy led the way and they settled on the grass in the shade.

"That cloud looks like an elephant!" Victoire laughed and pointed at the cloud as it slowly moved across the sky.

Ted pointed to another, "And that one looks like a duck."

"No it doesn't," Victoire said.

Teddy smirked, "Ok it looks like duck in a rabbit-costume"

Victoire giggled and slapped Teddy lightly on the arm, "Stop it Teddy." She rest her back against the tree, sipping on the last of her lemonade. "My family will be staying with my grandma in Paris for a week." Victoire said.

"That's great Vicki," he said with a smile.

She waited a bit before she asked timidly, "You'll write to me, won't you?"

Teddy laughed, "Well, you'll only be gone a week Vicki. I'm sure we'll hang out when you get back."

Victoire blushed then said, "Well I like when you write to me."

Teddy tentatively grabbed her hand and said, "Then I'll write to you everyday." He smiled at her and she smiled back.

He had told his Uncle Harry about his crush on Victoire last year, but he had this crush from since he was 8. His uncle had offered some encouraging words about knowing when the time is right and not rushing anything. But then his Uncle George stumbled into the conversation saying, 'Just snog her senseless and get it over with!'.

Now looking at her, he could feel his heart beating so hard in his chest, he wondered if she could hear it. Her blonde hair flowed down to her waist as her blue eyes looked into his. His breath caught in his throat as he thought of how long he might have been staring at her. Listening to Uncle Harry's advice brought me this far, let's try Uncle George's.

Teddy leaned over and placed his lips over Victoire's. She was surprised but she had liked Teddy for a long time, but was too shy to say anything. She kissed him back and they stayed like that under the tree. If she had opened her eyes, she would have seen Teddy's hair change to turquoise, her favourite colour.
