Candy Floss, Spider Girl and Jealousy

.

"Aragog, how could you betray me?" Arabella Mosag was crying, little tears falling over her hairy, round, very sweet face. "I thought...I thought..." She stuttered but she couldn't continue speaking because she was starting to cry very hard and all eight of her eight eyes were tearing up.

"Arabella, what's wrong?" Aragog asked, approaching her and sitting by her side.

She felt so nervous around him. How could she trust him anymore? Maybe he would just laugh at her and tell her he didn't have feelings for her at all. Maybe she had been deluded when she thought Aragog wanted to be exclusive with her. Or else, what other reason could there be for his behaviour lately?

Why had Aragog flirted with all the other spider girls and ignored her? She didn't feel right, she didn't feel special, she didn't feel loved by him anymore. Weren't they supposed to be exclusive? Then why did he spend so much time chatting and batting his lashes and showing off how strong his eight legs were to the other spider girls?

Arabella Mosag wiped at her tears with a clean handkerchief, which was embroidered with her initials. Her gran had woven this handkerchief for her, using her very own special spider silk web. She nervously tried to tell Aragog what she was feeling but it was so hard to just admit she was jealous.

"'Goggy," she said his nickname for him. "I do love spending time with you, but lately I just don't know...I don't know anymore if we can still be friends or carry on as we were..."

She was so jealous of his girl spider friends. Maybe he needed to spend more time with them and stop leading her on with false hope. Because she couldn't just be his friend, her spider heart felt so much more for him.

Aragog's handsome dark eyes concentrated on her. "What are you saying, Arabella? Why wouldn't we be able to spend time together?" He seemed devastated. Yet didn't he know he was the one who caused her so much intense, emotional inner turmoil?

She tried to reach for his hand. "Aragog, I do like the time we spend together..but I just don't know if ...I mean, you have other friends. Surely they should want to spend more time with you too...and you shouldn't be hogging all your time with me," she finished quietly, looking down at her thoroughly wet handkerchief. She could probably wring out the tears collected there.

Aragog sighed and then chuckled a deep, low throaty laugh that rumbled from within his broad chest. "Arabella, I think I understand now why you're upset. Listen to me, I have other spider female friends, of course, I do, but they are not the same to me. They are just friends."

"They are?"

"Yes," Aragog chuckled, yet his face was emotional too. "Nothing more. I would not want to marry a friend..I'm only interested in you."

"Oh, Aragog!" Arabella Mosag threw her arms around him. "I'm so happy you think I'm special."

His warm, loving arms held her tighter. "You are very special Mosag, you are the most special spider girl I've ever met and I want to keep you close, as close as we can always be."

His beautiful pincered face leaned in for a kiss and Arabella nearly fainted, before drawing in a big breath for strength, and kissed him back.

Though she felt like a giant pool of spider wool under his touch. "Oh, Aragog!" she said breathlessly.

"There, there," Aragog said and wrapped his arms around her, cradling her to his chest where his valiant heart beat. "You will always be my special spider girl. My favourite."

She sighed in relief and wished Aragog didn't have such power over her. Though it was hard not to be instantly swayed and fall all over for him: Aragog was just so handsome. 'I still get jealous!'

hahaha what are your opinions?
