Rose for my Darling
I took Lindy's hands and pulled her outside.
"Adrian, are you going to tell me where you're taking me?" she asked. I smiled.
"No, just keep your eyes shut," I told her and lead her to the center of the yard. She sighed. "Just a little farther." She smiled and started to open her eyes. "No peeking!" She laughed softly and closed her eyes again. "And…open them."
She obeyed and looked around, smiling. She walked over to the patch of white roses and touched them. I watched her, not moving. I wondered if she liked them, remembering the dance and how I gave her the corsage. She turned and walked over to me, taking my hands.
"They're beautiful," she murmured, kissing my lips softly. I smiled and ran my hand through my hair.
"I'm glad you like them," I said sheepishly. She smiled and I wrapped my arms around her and rested my head on hers.
"You should build the greenhouse again," she mused. I frowned. "I liked it, seeing all the roses even in the dead of winter."
"I thought you missed the snow too," I said, confused. She smiled.
"Well, we can go outside now," she said, turning and resting her hands on my chest. "Unless you don't want to," she said, raising an eyebrow. I shrugged. "Please, Adrian, it'd look good." I sighed.
"Alright, if you want me to, I'll build it again," I murmured. She smiled.
"Good," she said and pressed her lips to mine again.
I sat in the house, staring out the window. Will appeared. I glanced at him. He eased into a chair without saying a word, but I knew he had something to say.
"What?" I asked. He shrugged. "You're hiding something, what?"
"Don't you think you two are rushing into things?" he asked. I shrugged. "You both are teenagers."
"She's in love with me, she changed me back."
"I'm aware of that."
"Then what's the problem!" he sighed.
"She thought you were some crazy guy, Adrian, when you changed back. She didn't know it was you. I don't understand why you didn't tell her," he said. I shrugged. "Look, Adrian, I'm sure you two are in love and all, but how much do you really know about each other?"
"Plenty," I said and stood. "We know enough about each other."
"But there's always secrets."
"Who are you to judge my relationships?" I demanded, probably a bit harshly, but I turned and walked out of the room. I heard him sigh as I walked into my room.
A/N: Didn't really know what to write, so suggestions are always wanted! Thanks!
