My Little Princess - Chapter two

After Arthur's brother, Conor, left us, Arthur lead me to a tree. On the way to this tree, he told me about many things that I didn't understand. He was still speaking english, so I didn't know what he was saying.

Instead of being rude and interupting the sandy blond, I simply stayed silent and nodded every once in awhile. For some reason, I liked the sound of his voice.

When we finally got to the tree, he sat me down on the soft clover field surrounding the base of it, and he sat across from me. I picked a clover and studied it while I waited for him to begin. I guessed he was thinking of something to say.

After about a minute, he finally looked up and spoke. "I-I don't know much french, but maybe I could teach you with gestures?" he said. I stared blankly at him, wondering if he would translate or something.

He stood up, then pointed at the tree, "Tree." he stated. I blinked at him, "L'arbre?" I replied. He nodded vigorously, "Yes! L'arbre means tree!" he grinned proudly. I smiled, feeling my cheeks heat up a little.

Something about that grin was just so... enticing. I loved that look on him. I pointed at the tree also. "Tree!"

It went on like that until sunset, him pointing at things and saying their names in english, then I would say them in french, then in english also. After Arthur had told me that the body of water next to us was called a 'creek' and I'd figured that out, he'd hugged me.

My face lit up red when he did that. It felt... good. I liked his arms around me, so I did the same. I noticed that he'd blushed too, then he pulled back.

When the sun finally began to set, we concluded our class for the day to watch it together. It was truely a beautiful sight, a mixture of reds, purples, oranges, pinks, and blues all in one perfectly clear summer sky.

Amazing. Honestly, it was much better in London than back in Paris, as for summer weather.

"I-Is... pretty, oui?" I asked, trying to use the little bit of english I'd learned that day. I wanted to make Arthur proud again. Wanted to see that grin again.

Arthur smiled sweetly at me, nodding, "Yeah, pretty..." he said, and I could swear I saw a twinge of another blush upon his cheeks.

We watched the sunset in silence for a little while, before we heard Jack, Arthur's eldest red headed brother, and my mother calling. We stood up, then he hugged me again. "See you tomorrow, 10 o'clock." he said, making gestures for me while he said it so I would understand.

I nodded to show I understood, replying with a "Oui, t-tomorrow..." We said our good-byes, then walked away from the tree to our seperate homes. Truely, it hurt to leave him. I wanted him to teach me more. But we weren't allowed to stay out in the dark.

When I got back to my house, I went inside and shut the door behind me. I was kicking my shoes off and putting them up on the shoe shelf when I heard my mother's voice again. "How was your day, cher? Meet any new amis?" she asked as I walked into the living room to meet her.

I smiled and sat beside her, curling into her side like a kitten. "Oui, je pense que je n'a..."

There is your second chapter. I am REALLY tired right now (it's 5:00am here) so please excuse the crappyness of this one. I hope you enjoyed this, because I SLAVED over this. Well, good night (morning =3=) and have a nice day.

Sincerely yours,
