Tulips and Gentians
Chapter Four
054. Tower – He told her that he wouldn't let her fall, that he would catch her. So with hope in her heart she crawled out of the window of the tower…and fell in his arms.
055. Waiting – Lily sat delicately on the bench, hands settled primly on her lap and wide green eyes looking around expectantly. He was supposed to be here an hour ago for their date. Checking her watch again, Lily finally decided to call it quits and leave only to be stopped by a large hand on her shoulder, stopping her movements. "Sorry I'm late…Spain was being annoying again."
056. Danger Ahead – When Lars caught sight of Lily escaping Prussia's lustful advances he couldn't help but think that the red-eyed male would be an obstacle in their relationship.
057. Sacrifice – With pain-filled eyes, Lily stood alone, bloody, beaten, and frail in the ditch the Nazi soldiers had dug for her. She stumbled a little, trying to stand, eyes locked on a furious Dutchman who was trying to break free from his restraints, anything to rescue her. A life for a life. That was her sacrifice.
058. Kick in the Head – Lars woke up the next morning with a lovely bruise on the side of his head and a fussing Lily pleading with him to not ever get in the way of a drunken America. "You mean to tell me that American bastard kicked me that hard!"
059. No Way Out – Lily's large green eyes darted frantically around as a surprisingly naked Lars closed in on her, grinning like a mad man. God why did she agree to playing tag naked with him!
060. Rejection – "You kissed me and then you just…ran off," he said lifting her head up to meet his gaze. "I-I…I thought you didn't want me to stay…," Lily mumbled softly. Chuckling he pulled her close and nuzzled his nose against her own. "Just because I didn't say anything…doesn't mean I wanted you to leave engeltje (little angel).
