Later that day Frypan sent me off to do whatever I would like so I decided to linger around the gardens to hang out with Newt. He was always a great person to talk to. Out of the corner of my eye I would see Gally looking at me every once and a while. Finally when it was getting near dinner time, I saw Frypan emerge from his kitchen. What is he doing?! I thought. He didn't even glance my way when he made his way over to the builders. I knew exactly what he was doing. Crap! He is actually going to talk to Gally? I was internally freaking out. This is going to be so awkward. I decided it would be a good idea to book it to the deadheads. I tried to sneak behind the homestead. I could see Gally's face getting red from meters away. He looked like a baked tomato. Both of the boys turned around to look at me as I passed.
"Hey Willow!" Frypan called. Why is he doing this to me?! He waved me over to come and talk. I stopped to trudge over to where they were standing. Frypan had a huge smile plastered on his face at the sight of my pain. Gally's face was red and he gave me a grin. I could feel my face
heating up so I looked down at my feet hoping no one would notice.
"So! Are you guys like a thing?" He asked knowing he was torturing us. I shrugged my shoulder and looked up to Gally staring at me. Then without saying anything he stepped closer and wrapped his arm around my waist to pull me to his hip. I looked up at him with a questioning look at his display of affection in front of Frypan.
"We will have to talk about it." Gally stated with confidence. My eyes got wide at this statement. He looked down at me and creased his forehead when he saw my face. "Later Frypan" He said quickly and started dragging me toward the homestead. He didn't say a word until we made it up to his room. He slammed the door and then turned around to look at me.
"What was that?" He asked me with the anger building up in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" I asked with concern.
"Your eyes got wide when I said we needed to talk about it." I didn't respond to him.
"Willow?" He asked with more force in his voice.
"I didn't know you felt that way." I said quietly.
"Felt what way?" Gally asked, moving closer his voice softened incredibly.
"That you would actually consider being something with me." I mumbled. Gally scooted closer and took my face in his hands, forcing me to look up at him.
"You mean, like, your boyfriend?" He asked as if he was out of breath. I nodded slowly. "Of course I would! Are you crazy?" He shouted with excitement.
"Ok ok" I laughed "I didn't say we were, you know dating" His face dropped and he looked to the floor out of embarrassment. He dropped his hands from my face and began to walk out of the door. "Gally!" I grabbed his arm before he could leave "I didn't say that we wouldn't talk about it." I said with a smirk. He grabbed my face once again and kissed me with force that I know to be Gally.
