Romeo and Cinderella
Romeo is coming. That one thought lingered in Cinderella's mind. Over and over again the thought played each time getting faster to match her increasing heart rate. Romeo is coming. She knew it was wrong but she didn't care. Looking at the clock she saw it was only ten minutes before be would be there. Hurriedly she grabbed the rope ladder that she had made. This would be the second time she's seen him. Even so her heart raced. He had her wrapped around his finger. She knew that.
She hid the ladder by her window and sat on her bed. Tapping her foot impatiently. Not even a minute had passed and she was up again. She started cleaning rapidly, redoing the floor, and dishes while checking the clock. Just waiting for the time to be right. But time seemed to slow every time she looked. Finally the time came to one more minute. She went to find her Stepmother and her two Stepsisters. She found only her Stepmother, as her sisters were already snug and sound in their beds.
"Good night, Stepmother. Sleep well. I am off to bed." It took all of Cinderella's strength not to smile and run off to her room. She stood waiting at her Stepmother's door for her answer.
"Good night, Cinderella." She said rather coldly. Not that it mattered to her anymore, she was so used to the cold. Cinderella then tried her best not to run but walk to her room. She got half way up the stairs walking but then smiled and ran up the stairs. In her room she lifted one of her floorboards and picked out the box of Carmel that was given to her by Romeo. She carefully placed the box on her bed and placed the floorboard back in its place. The floor moaned in protest. Once put back she headed to her window once more, watching the winter night waiting for Romeo. Looking in the night she noticed the smell of Irises in the air. The light, sweet sent put her in a love drugged state. Not long after she caught sent of the Irises, she heard the voice of her beloved.
"Just as the Irises that I hold are sweet, my Cinderella is more so. That is why I give you these flowers, if you will let me that is." Cinderella could only hear his voice at first but then she saw his blonde hair in a short ponytail and his black and yellow suit. The suit it's self was black but had yellow lining on the ending, which contrasted wonderfully in the night. His blue eyes sparkled to an almost green.
Cinderella smiled, leaning over her window she said, "Romeo! It's been long. I have missed you deeply. I will accept your Irises though I will not be able to keep them long. My Stepmother and Stepsisters will surely find them all but too soon."
"Cinderella, it has only been two days since we last saw each other."
"I know but it seems longer." Cinderella grabbed the ladder and threw it down her window. Carefully tying the rope to a piece of wood that stuck out in her window. s
