The New Couple [kinda dumb chap]
"So what do you guys want to do?" Faramir asks.
"I don't know," sighs Eomer. "What CAN we do?"
"We could play pranks," I say. I can't believe that just came from me. I'm the good girl! Aragorn claps and starts laughing. "Oh yea, Emma, good one," he says.
"I'm SERIOUS!" I say.
"Really?" he looks astounded. He then shakes his head. "Nah, you're kidding." I decide to ignore him. "We could toilet paper a house!" Talim says.
"Meliah and Leanna's," says Eowyn with this big grin. I know she loves playing pranks. I bet she's been meaning to play one on Leanna forever. Actually, I remember seeing Leanna at school with ketchup colored blush. Hm. I wonder...
"Maybe we could play truth or dare. This is the perfect amount of people and everything," says Legolas.
'Oh no.' This is going to get insane if someone doesn't come up with a better idea!
"Yea, let's play that!" Arwen says. "I already got some good ones."
"Yea, me too," giggles Eowyn.
Before I know it, everyone decides they want to play. I'm the only one that doesn't want to and I won't bother to mention that. "Yea, I'll play," I say.
"Good," says Eomer. "I'll be first and I'll pick...Emma." My ears perk up. I didn't know he'd ask me! "Truth or dare?" he asks. I rub my chin thoughtfully. "Tr...dare!"
"When you make your speech at the Fall Ball, I dare you to say: 'Eomer is so hot and all of you girls know it!'"
I start laughing at the thought: me up in front of the school shouting: "Eomer is so hot! All of you girls should go for him!". "She won't do it," says Aragorn, patting me on the shoulder. I give him a gentle punch. "Just you WATCH! I'm going to say it, I swear!" Eomer smiles. I'm going to say it and he's going to love hearing it.
"Your turn, Emma," Eomer says.
"Okay," I say. "Eomer...truth or dare?"
"Dare, of COURSE."
"Tell everyone here who you like," I say. Once it comes out of my mouth, I regret it. If Talim wanted him to say it at all, she'd want them to be alone.
He pauses. He's speechless at the question. "Uh..."
"Come on Eomer, spill it!" Faramir says.
"I really don't want to tell all of you," he finally says.
Arwen sighs. "We're all friends here."
He nods. "T-Talim." He looks at Talim. He looks like this shy little middle- schooler on Valentines day! Aw, how cute.
I look over at Talim. Though she tries to hide it, I can see a smile forming. Everyone laughs, but in a nice way. "I want to have my turn again!" Eomer says. No one says anything to stop him.
"Talim. Truth or dare?"
"Truth," Talim says. Good choice. He'd probably make her kiss him if she had picked dare.
"You would go out with me. True or false?" Talim laughs at the question. There's this silence that's so quiet I can hear the clock on the wall. "True," she finally manages to say.
"Awwww," I say. 'How sweet!'
"Hey kids," my dad says. "It's time for you to all go to sleep. Me and Mrs. Goldring will be going to bed soon."
Aragorn gets up. "All going to Arwen's, ride with me. See the rest of you tomorrow! The concert is going to be a BLAST!"
Talim POV
I can't believe Eomer just asked me out. Even though that's not the way I would have had him ask me out, I still like him. I'm excited. I wish I could talk to him alone tonight. I walk to the guestroom where I'm staying. I put my PJs on and get into bed.
"Night Eowyn," I say.
"Night, Talim."
There's silence for a few minutes. "You excited about being my brother's girlfriend?" she asks. "Very," I admit. "I've liked him for a month now."
"He's liked you for longer. He talks about you so much. It's good that he finally told you."
I smile at the thought. It feels great. I feel myself drifting to sleep, thinking of him.
"Talim," I hear someone whisper, but I'm half-asleep so I can't make it out. "Talim!" I open my eyes slowly and Eomer is right above me. I leap up, my head hitting his. "Ow," I whisper, rubbing my head. "You--You scared me." He rubs his head. "I was thinking that you and me could have some time to talk. I couldn't sleep. It wasn't right just asking you out and then not being with you."
I smile. "I was hoping we'd get to talk. Hold on." I get some clothes together: my favorite jeans and a light silvery-green long-sleeved shirt. "Turn." I tell him.
He turns around and I quickly change. I try not to wake up Eowyn, but I have a feeling she's already awake, pretending to be asleep. When I'm fully dressed, Eomer turns around, grabs my hand, and we run out the front door.
I look up at him as we hurry outside. This is so romantic!
Eomer POV
I finally find the perfect place to sit and talk. There's a ladder that goes up to the barn roof. The roof is made of hay and that would be the perfect spot to look at stars. We crawl up it together and stare up at the sky.
I look at her and she finally looks back at me. She's so beautiful. She's different from any girl I met. I've never dated an elf before and this somehow feels better. I feel like I can't even compare to her. Like she deserves someone better. Her face is just the right color, her eyes are big and pretty dark blue, and her hair is dark and she has this cute little bob- cut. She looks like one of those cartoon fairies. Perfect.
"I've liked you for SO long," I say. She smiles so wide, but she tries to hide it.
"I've liked you too...since the day you first came to my table with Faramir and Boromir. Emma couldn't stop teasing me," she answers. She looks embarrassed and looks down. Why is she so ashamed and embarrassed? I like her SO much and she still acts like she's not good enough...hello! She's the most wonderful person ever and me...I'm an ordinary guy. I wouldn't say I'm totally handsome or anything.
"Your so beautiful. Why do you act like your never good enough for anyone?" I ask.
She pauses. "Well...I don't look like a Mirkwood or Lothlorien elf," she finally says. "All the elf boys want blond and brunette girls and me...well, I'm just different looking. Even my parents have blond hair. My hair...I don't know how I got stuck with black hair."
"But it's perfect," I tell her. "And even better, your so down to earth, fun, and smart. I don't like stupid air head blonds like Leanna."
"Didn't you ever like Emma? She's beautiful AND smart," she says. Wow, that question came out of nowhere.
"I thought she was pretty, but you...I think your perfect. Meliah and all of them girls might be hot, but you, you're beautiful to me, in and out, and that's what matters."
She cuddles up to me and I kiss her gently on the head. 'This shall be a night to remember.'
"So what do you guys want to do?" Faramir asks.
"I don't know," sighs Eomer. "What CAN we do?"
"We could play pranks," I say. I can't believe that just came from me. I'm the good girl! Aragorn claps and starts laughing. "Oh yea, Emma, good one," he says.
