Chapter Three: So this is what makes life divine

So this love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow and now I know
The key to our heaven is mine

My heart has wings and I can fly
I'll touch every star in the sky
So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of
Mmm mmm mmm
So this is love

-Ilene Woods & Mike Douglas, So This Is Love (Cinderella 1950)

Audrey and Evie started to slowly get to know one another, spending some time together when their schedules allowed such a thing. Audrey, in those moments, spent together felt closer to Evie. They talked about their passions (for Evie it was fashion and for Audrey having a powerful job, like CEO or a fashionable lawyer) They talked about their day around school or sometimes talking about their respective childhoods. She hadn't told her yet about the conflicts going on between her parents and her grandparents, that whole ess needed two powerpoints and a documentary series to explain it.

Usually, they spent the day either in the grotto but today, Audrey wanted to change the scenery.

Evie had a surprised look on her face when Audrey invited her to the movies. For a minute, she thought that maybe she was too forward until she saw the blush on the other girl's face and maybe there was hope in this change after all as Evie said yes to the movie date.

"It's not a date date, Lonnie," Audrey said, to her roommate who was suppressing the loudest squeal into her pillow.

They were barely getting to know each other but whenever Evie looked at her, she thought that the princess wanted something more. Audrey put her hair up in a high ponytail as she spoke to her roommate about this ongoing discussion, "It's just a friendly girls outing, platonically."

Lonnie snorted. "Yeah, a platonic outing that you guys go to the movies, with the girl you unplatonically like."

"Unplatonically is not a real word Lonnie." She said.

Audrey rolled her eyes from her mirror as she grabbed the tube of pink lipstick to add some final touches. "Not only that Audrey but you are getting yourself ready with that same anxious energy like when you were going on a date with Ben. It's not platonic."

Yeah, who was she kidding this wasn't platonic at all. She was hopeless!

"Maybe it's just my imagination," She said out loud as she added a layer of pink lipstick on her upper lip. Lonnie scoffed, making Audrey pause.

"Please, if Evie is looking at you like that, then there is a chance that she likes you romantically. Ever thought of that?"

Lonnie had a good point. Before Audrey could say anything, Lonnie was yelling at her that it was 7:15 PM and that she was late for her date!

"It's not a date!" Was the last thing she yelled at her before Lonnie practically pushed her out the door, shutting it behind her. Audrey huffed in annoyance at her friend's silly attitude towards her love life.

"One day I'm going to get back at you Lonnie," Audrey muttered to herself as she made her way to Evie's dorm. "But today will not be that day."

"Well, that was an interesting film," Evie said.

They were walking back from the theater, Evie holding onto the mega bucket of popcorn as they walked to Audrey's car. She and Evie seemed to be nervous around one another when they sat next to each other during the film. It wasn't until Evie, put her head on her shoulder that Audrey relaxed a bit.

Audrey nodded in agreement. They decided to watch a movie about a dragon finding family among humans. It was cute, even though it was animated, Audrey enjoyed it. She grabbed a handful of popcorn from the bucket, pouring the kernels int her mouth.

"Do you want to head back to the dorms or...?" Evie asked, making Audrey almost choke on the popcorn in her mouth. Usually, after films, couples would go make out before going off to their perspective dorms. Ben and Audrey used to do that, now, here was Evie asking her that question. The answer was a big blank in her mind.

Evie seemed to think that it was a bad idea, trying backtrack what she said which made Audrey quickly respond.

"Yeah, let's go to the wishing well."

Her heart was hammering in her chest as she drove them to Auradon Prep, still continuing as they walked to where the wishing well and grotto was waiting for them. It looked much more beautiful in the night time, Audrey thought to herself as fireflies illuminated the little area.

They stood there by the well, watching the fireflies zoom past them. Audrey looked at Evie, noticing the blue haired princess looking back at her.

What she did know was that one minute she was looking at Evie and the next, she had her lips on Evie's. It was a soft kiss, Audrey felt for a moment Evie freeze before kissing her back, her arms wrapping around her neck. Audrey held her close, wrapping her arms around her waist.

Audrey finally understood why True Love's kiss felt undescribable to some because this was it.

They finally pulled back, both dizzy and giddy by what happened. Evie had a small smile, biting her lip shyly. "Do you think we can do this more?"

"Yeah," Audrey responded, still feeling the buzz from the kiss she had with Evie. They heard the bell ring, signaling that it was way past their curfew. The last thing they needed was to be caught by security or worse Fairy Godmother.

As they walked back to their dorms, Audrey boldly kissed her on the cheek, like mom usually did to her dad. A sign of affection. Evie grinned before quickly kissing her on the lips, "Bye Audrey." and closing her door.

If it hadn't been for the fact that it was late at night Audrey would have let out the biggest scream ever. Instead, she bit her lip, running down to her dorm room to wake up Lonnie and tell her everything. She was about to burst with giddy happiness at everything that just happened. She felt like she was walking on clouds.

She could already hear Lonnie groggily telling her, "I told you so."

But Audrey didn't care, because it seemed like everything for her was finally falling into place, making sense in her heart. She just knew it.

NOTES: Soooo this is love~

Hope you guys liked chapter three! By luck, hopefully, I'll have chapter four up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So be on the lookout for that soon, because while this is fluffy, the next one will not be so fluffy... More like a sea of angst.
