Jill was in her room, un-packing her suitcase. She had just came back from her two weeks stay in France, and although she had fun, she was glad to be home.
Meanwhile, Eustace was standing a few blocks away from her house, adjusting his collar nervously and he tightly held a bouquet of lillies. He was hesitating, big time. He was nervous, who could blame him?
Finally, he took a deep breath and boldly walked towards her house. He was looking at the front door, feeling nervous still. But he lifted his right hand, and knocked.
After a moment Jill came rushing to the door and greeted him.
"Oh! Eustace! I wasn't expecting to see you until the end of the week, when school began."
Eustace could feel his face burn a little. "Well...I um...I heard you were back so, you know...I decided to drop by. And, these are for you." He held up the lillies. She smiled brightly. "Oh! They're lovely! And I love lillies! How thoughtful, come in." She held the door open wider and he walked in.
"I was just un packing before you came." Jill explained going through the kitchen and taking out a vase.
"How was France?" Eustace asked taking off his hat. Jill was filling the vase full of water. "It was wonderful! Although, nothing compared to Narnia, of course." She delicately placed the lillies inside the vase.
"Who took you again?" Eustace asked, taking a seat at a nearby chair. "My Aunt Jenny. She thought it would do me good to get out of the country. It really is a lovely place! It's...so new!" Her eyes sparkled.
Eustace smiled. "Learn anything new?"
"I learned a little bit of french." Jill said taking a seat next to him. Eustace raised his brow with intrest. "Really! Well, let's hear."
Jill's face turned pink. "Oh! I...um...I'm not really good." She played with her fingers.
"Jolie s'il vous plaƮt?" (Pretty please?)
Jill's eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped. "Scrubb! You just spoke French!"
He chuckled. "So I have!"
"I never knew you could!"
Eustace grinned. "Harold's brother lived in france for a couple of years. So I picked some things up." he exlained. Jill grinned. "Well...I guess I could try. But what shall I say?"
"Whatever you want."
Jill thought about it for a moment. "La France est belle." (France is beautiful)
Eustace smiled shyly and said: "Jill Pole est belle." (Jill Pole is beautiful)
This made her cheeks turn very pink.
"Jill..." Eustace began.
"Eustace, can I tell you something?" She interupted.
Eustace froze. "Yeah, sure."
"Well...this is going to spund silly, and I know you may feel...emberassed. I know I will." Her cheeks her burning with every word that came out. Eustace sat quietly, waiting.
"I really like you, I had for a long time now...it's been bothering me and...well...I dunno..." She was looking down at the floor, and was tracing patterns on the floor with her right foot, her heart was pounding and suddenly it felt very hot inside the house.
"Jill?"
"Yes?" she mumbled, not taking her eyes off the floor.
"Look at me."
She slowely looked up at him, and Eustace, she realised was a little closer than he was a couple minutes ago.
"Jill?"
"Yes?"
He leaned in and gave her a soft kiss. "Je vous aime trop." (I like you too)
Jill smiled up at him "Then kiss me, you fool."
And he did.
