Chapter Seven: Someone Has A Crush:
Primrose had returned to the hole with the items that Bilbo had needed. Frodo had returned as well. They were all now in the kitchen. Frodo and Primrose had started to help Bilbo put up the items.
"Did you find your way to the market?" Bilbo asked Primrose.
"Yes, I made it fine." she answered.
"You did not run into any trouble I hope." replied Frodo.
"No, I did not." she answered. "I did however, run into Pippin on my way there."
"Oh really?" asked Bilbo.
"Yes," Primrose said with a smile. "He joined me on the way to the market."
"Well, that was nice of the lad." said Bilbo putting the last item away. "Now, how about we sit down and have some tea?"
They had some tea and then went about the day. Later, in the after noon Rosie and Sam stopped by. Bilbo of course, let them in.
"So how is the lovely couple?" asked Frodo with a laugh as his two friends entered.
Sam turned slightly red but Roise just answered with a smile. "We are fine."
Then she turned to Primrose. "I finally finished with your clothes." she said as she showed her the pile of clothes she had in her hands.
"Oh, thank you." she replied.
"Why don't you go try these on and we can see if I need to make any changes."
"All right," Primrose said as Rosie handed her the clothes. "I'll go try them on and be back back in a second."
They watched her leave. Then Rosie, Sam, and Frodo took a seat in the living room. Bilbo went to go make some more tea for the new guests.
"So how is she doing?" asked Rosie when she sat down.
"I think she is doing well here." Frodo answered. "Yet, we still do not who she or where she came from."
"Well, if Bilbo is right, Gandalf should know who she is." replied Sam. "I mean, the festival is getting closer by the day." Sam was about to continued but Primrose cut him off when she came back into the living room.
"How's this?" she asked as she showed them the dress that she had but on.
This dress was blue that had a green leaf pattern on it. It just below her knees. Rosie stood up. Sam and Frodo did as well. Rosie walked over to her.
"Yes, I think this is fine." she said. "I hope you like the pattern."
"It's very nice." Primrose said with a smile. She looked at Sam and Frodo. "Well, what do you think of it lads?"
"Very nice." answered Sam. "Blue seems to be a good color on you."
"I agree with Sam." Frodo replied. "You look very lovely." he said, going slightly red in the face.
Sam and Rosie exchanged looks, and laughed to themselves. Then Rosie said to Primrose. "All right, there is more to try on." she said. "I also made you some tunic and some paints." Rosie told her. "Just in case, you did not wish to where dresses all the time." she then added. "I also made you some night clothes as well."
"Oh, thank you about that." she said. "Well, I'll go try on some more, and then come back."
When she left, the three sat back down. Then Sam looked at Frodo and let out a laugh. Rosie also laughed.
"What are you two laughing at?" he asked sternly.
"I think you all ready know." replied Sam after he stopped laughing.
"No, I don't." he answered.
"Then shall I remind you?" asked Rosie. "'You look lovely.'" she said as she mimicked him from before.
"What?" Frodo asked. "I just made a comment." he said. "Just like Sam."
"Yes, you did." replied Rosie. "But you looked at her slightly differently."
"What look?" he asked. At this point, he was starting to get very annoyed.
"You know what look." Sam said. "It was the same look I use to give Rosie." he slightly blurted out, causing him to blush.
"I did not look at her like that!" he yelled.
They all went silent when Primrose came back with another dress on.
"What's all the yelling about?" she asked.
"It's nothing." answered Frodo.
"Well, then how's this one?"
This dress was pink with a gold flower pattern upon it. It went down to her feet.
"Ah, yet another nice one." Sam said.
"Yes, this one fits as well." replied Rosie.
They all turned to Frodo to make his comment but he did not make one. Primrose shrugged and went back to try on another one.
"How come you did not say anything?" Rosie asked.
"Let's think about that for a moment shall we?" he asked. "Maybe bacause I did not want you two to say anything about me 'liking' her."
"Ha!" Sam said pointing at his friend. "You just admited it."
"I did not!"
"Yes you did." said Rosie.
"I give up on you two!" yelled Frodo. "You think what you like but I do not like her like that!"
Rosie and Sam knew that this was the time to leave the matter at hand alone. Primrose had come out one more time with another dress. Then came back with the clothes she had worn that day, and joined her friends in the living room. Bilbo had brought out the tea and he sat with them.
Time soon passed for the company. It was soon night. Sam and Roise soon made their departure from the hole. When it was just the remaining three at the hole, Primrose let out a yawn.
"Well, I'm getting tired." she replied.
"I am as well." Bilbo said. "I think it is time for all of us to go to bed."
The two got up. Frodo remained at his seat. Bilbo looked at him. "Are you coming lad?"
"Not right now uncle." he answered. "I think I'm going to stay here for awhile longer."
"All right," Bilbo said. "Don't stay up too late."
"I won't." assured Frodo.
"Good night then Frodo." Primrose said as she and Bilbo went to their rooms.
Frodo said "good night" to them. Then he was left alone with his thoughts. 'Could Sam and Rosie be right?' he asked himself. 'Do I have a crush?' The only answer that he got was a crack in the fire that Bilbo had made earlier.
