Today was the day. I was dressed up already and my dad and kim had left early. I quickly walked out of my room and downstairs everyone was there.
"Thanks guys for helping me... really...now let's get to work...we have a long day ahead of us." I said.
They nodded and headed off to the basment. I can't wait. Sparks is going to be so suprised I know he sid he didn't want me to help him but...I should. I feel right doing this. I smiled as I saw everyone work. I promised all of them tomorow off...I'm safe here I don't need so many guards taking care of me.
I can't wait to see sparks...he must have left his house by now...
Sparks POV I was wandering the streets like always. I looked around to see if I see any food in sight. But every restuaraunt or store closes their door when they see me coming. I glared at the ground. No food again.
I havnt eaten in two days! I'm starving. The only thing I have eaten in my entire life are the loafs of bread I could get from the baker. But I could only get those like one or two every three days.
I used to steal purses from women and wallets but...since everyone in town knows I'm a thief no one will except money from me so why should steal worthless money. I got tired of walking so I sat down against a wall. I still have some money...its all I got but I never use it.
I looked across the street where everyone was having their breakfast...mmmm...good steamy eggs with fluffy pancakes covered in sweet, sweet surup. I licked my lips at the thought of having those in front of me. I shook my head and laid my head down on my arms. I'll die if I keep looking.
Yesterday when I was with Nova was great! We talked. I thought she was mad about me from the mud but turns out she was just grounded. I smiked at myself as I remembered the mud situation. That thought will always make me laugh.
Nova's POV
We were almost done. I was cleaning the counters while everyone else was doing something. It looked great! His house was extremely beautiful. The old mattress that was in the corner we threw out and replaced it with a brown bed. It had a soft white mattress with the fluffiest pillows and white sheets. The windows had been clean and they looked perfect. I had set up some curtains they were white too.
The floor was kinda hard to clean. I helped mop and a maid well...two maids were vacumeing. The floor was cleaner then ever. We had put a table for two. It was very new and it was brown. I cleaned the stove which was hard. Someone else cleaned the cupboards and we filled them with plates and cups. The kitchen was super clean as I finished cleaning the counters. We only had a bit of food. Probably only for a week because our chief clearly couldn't help.
The bathroom was super hard. It had a bathtub and a sink. But when I entered it it scared me. We worked really hard on that one but it ended up to be almost new. The shower wasnt working so a guard fixed it up along with the sink. When we were done it was dark outside. Everyone was already gathered up and done.
"Thankyou so much for helpin me...you have tomorrow off...you may leave.", they smiled and on the way out I heard thankyou's. I smiled and closed the door. Now to get onto the cooking.
Sparks POV
I was starving! I hadn't gotten anything all day. I was walking to my house ready to fall asleep. I entered the woods and began.
I hadn't seen Nova today. I went to the place she always went to but she wasn't there. What if she's still grounded. I really like talking to her. She's not what I expected of a Royal.
I kept walking and then I smelled something. I sniffed the air and smelled something delicious. It made my mouth water and made me walk to it. As I kept walking the smell got bigger and better. When I got to my house I realized it was coming from inside. Wait! My house! It didn't even look like it. The roof was better the windows were clean and had curtains. And there was light inside. All the mess that was outside was cleaned up. But I'm sure this is my house.
I ran to it and slowly opened it. I peeked inside and my eyes widened at what I saw. Everything was clean! My matress was replaced with a big bed it had a side table and a lamp that lit up the room. I saw the table for two and the clean kitchen and Nova! I saw where the smell was coming from. It was from the soup she was cooking my mouth watered even more.
"What did you do?" I asked.
She turned around and smiled with her hands behind her back.
"I made your house more welcoming...suprise." she said nervously.
"Do you like it?" She asked.
I looked around. I did love it but I need any help. I was fine how I was but...she took the time to do this. To a poor pesant like myself. I looked at her worried face.
"T-Thankyou." I said she smiled.
"Please sit." She said.
I sat down and kept looking around again. I saw Nova serve some soup in a bowl and put it front of me with a spoon and a glass of water. She smiled at me and I quickly took my bandana and hoodie of and digged in. First with the spoon then I threw it on the table and drank the soup quickly. It was delecious! I quickly finished and gave it to Nova. She served me some more and gave it to me. I drank the whole glass of water and drank the soup quickly. I finished and she served me again. I drank it too and after another I was for the first time full.
I sat there with my bandana in my hand as Nova washed the dishes. I stared at the room again. Mostly at the bed I was goingnto sleep in tonight.
Nove finised up and faced me.
"There's one more thing." She said.
I looked at her something else!
"Here." She said as she placed the box in front of me. I looked at it and she sat in front of me. I pushed the present towards her.
"No." I said.
"Please sparks." She said as she pushed it back to me.
"No." I said again.
"Please...I already bought it so might as well se it." She said louder. I sighed and lifted the lid off. This is the first present I ever gotten. I looked inside and took out a new black sweater. I smiled and put it down next was a black bandana I smiled wider then next was a pair of red boxers and a white T-shirt. And some grey sweats.
I'm tired of sleeping with the same clothes I wear this is great. I looked at her and she smiled.
"Is it okay?" She asked.
I stood up and walked to her. She stood up and I hugged her she quickly hugged back.
"Thank you so much." I said.
"Your welcome." She saidwe broke apart and she smiled.
"Well...your shower is now working...howabout you shower put on your new clothes for bed and we'll talk alittle." She said. I nodded and she hugged me one more time. We broke apart and I got my clothes and went to shower for the fist time in years.
Nova's POV
I was happy Sparks liked it. I thought he was going to get mad or something like that. I went to sit on his bed and laid down on it it was very soft and the pillows were so fluffy you could sleep in an instant. I heard the shower go on.
I looked up at the cieling. I don't know what this thing is that I feel when I'm with Sparks. He makes me so happy and I always want to be with him. But...my dad wouldn't ever except him being my friend and never much more. I sighed. Sparks is a guy I really like but I don't know if I hve feelings for him. Were friends...isn't that all I want?
I heard te door open and Sparks stepped out of the shower. I sat up and saw his red fur bright, bright red. He was wearing lose shorts and the white T-shirt. I saw his legs and arms for the first time. His clean face free of any dirt looks breath taking.
"What?" He asked.
"N-Nothing." I said as I turned away.
He walked to the bed an sat next to me. He felt the bed with his hands.
"Wow." He whispered.
I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Thankyou again Nova. I don't know how to repay you." He said.
"Its okay...I wanted to do this." I said.
"How did you sneak this passed your dad?" He asked.
"He's off on a trip and my servants ,maids , and guards helped me." I said.
He smiled and laid down.
"I never thought I would sleep on one of these." He said. I laid down next to him.
"Well...never stop dreaming." I said.
He smiled at me and I smiled too.
"Your the best girl I have ever met." He said.
I blushed. He got closer to me.
"You look beautiful when you blush." He whispered. I blushed harder. I didn't know what to do. "Well...I guess you should get some rest..." I said. He nodded. He poisitioned himself on the bed and laid down. I was about to stand but he stopped me.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Home." I said.
"But its to dark...you should sty here." He said.
I looked at him then nodded. I laid down and turned off the light. I turned to face him and founf him staring at me. I stared back at him. I blushed so I closed my eyes and he sighed.
I soon fell asleep.
