"Look, you're bleeding… It must have scratched you," she said and leaned forward to touch my face.
"Yeah…or maybe it scratched me or something…"
'Wonderful, Fiyero, you blew it!' I thought, 'She thinks you're some kind of brainless, winkie prince…'
I paced around my room. Why has she taken over my thoughts? Ever since the lion cub… I stopped pacing when someone knocked on the door. I cleared a path through the mess on the floor and answered it. I peered out at a green face staring at me. Her eyes felt like they could pierce my soul.
"Oh, umm…" I managed to stutter. Great, every time Elphaba's around I'm not able to form a sentence.
"Hello Fiyero, can I come in?" she asked me, not taking her sharp gaze away from my eyes. Which, I was sure, were the size of saucers.
"Uh, yeah, yeah, come in." I opened the door wider and she walked in. "Err, I uh…" I flushed and grabbed a pair of boxers from a lamp on the table.
"Have you ever heard of cleaning, Fiyero? Or are you used to having maids tidy up after you, Sir Prince of the Vinkus?" Her eyes glanced around the room nervously.
"Uhh…" I was lost in her deep pools of brown eyes. Those piercing eyes that was glaring at me.
"Fiyero, hello?" Elphaba snapped her fingers in front of my face.
"What, um sorry," I apologized quickly.
"You're really spacey today. Is everything alright?" Elphaba was concerned about my well-being? Why am I so infatuated by the emerald girl?
"Yeah, everything is fine. What do you want to talk about?" I asked her, pulling up a chair then motioned for her to sit, which she did.
"Well, I was thinking about the day with the lion cub," she started.
"I've been thinking about it too," I interrupted.
"Ha, you thinking?" she smirked at her joke. I frowned.
"Anyway," she continued, "I was thinking why stop at just one lion cub. We could rescue so many more Animals. Why stop at Shiz? We could rescue the Animals in the Emerald city… Maybe even all of Oz!" My heart sank. So she hasn't been thinking about the sudden silence and heat of our moment shared back there. She's been thinking about the Lion cub…
She continued to ramble on about Animals and other stuff. I was lost in those eyes again. That's what's so beautiful about her. Her eyes just capture you. Everything about her is flawless, only it's her eyes that really stand out.
"So, what do you think?"
"I think… Yes, good idea," I racked my brain trying to remember what she had been saying before. Animal rescue or something?
"Great, I'll see you at the Café later," she said and picked up her satchel and was out the door with a final wave of her emerald hand.
I couldn't be sure, but did I just get a date with the green goddess?
