Talia: IT'S SNOWING IN SUMMER!

Chapter 13a): Hogsmeade (Talia's POV)

Talia waited for Ryan by the front entrance of the castle with a million questions swarming through her head. Was he going to show? Was he kidding about this? WAS SHE WEARING THE RIGHT THING!? Those were just a few of the many many many questions swarming through her head. But all were laid to rest as a stunningly hot Ryan walked through the door wearing a white dress shirt unbuttoned just enough to show his well toned chest, and a pair of loose fitting jeans. He looked like an angel to Talia. He held out his arm for her to take as he almost playfully said "Coming my lady?"

Talia slipped her arm into his, no longer worrying weather her shirt was too skimpy or her pants were unflattering, or her hair was too bushy, or.....She didn't want to think about it, if she did she just might barf. Ryan and Talia talked all the way to Hogsmeade in their carriage. In Hogsmeade Ryan told Talia to close her eyes and led her through the busy streets and into a small shop. "You can open your eyes now" He told her in his gentle voice as he removed his hand from her soft and luscious face. Talia stared around the shop, there was one table in the room adorned with lace table cloth and two candles. There was literally no one else in the entire room. Which kind of scared Talia at first, but then she realized that he was going to buy her a candle light dinner. This was going to be expensive!

Usually Talia would've milked the guy for all his money and then basically just played around some more but she just could not do this to Ryan. He was just too hot, too nice and too gentlemanlike. "You don't have to do this. It would be just as nice if we just went and got food somewhere cheaper." She told him in a worried tone. "It's alright. I want to do this. Isn't this every girl's dream? Besides, if anyone is worth it it's you." He said. Talia blushed scarlet red but took her seat anyways. The waiter came in and gave them the menu, took their orders and lef.t

"So, are you having fun yet?" Ryan asked. "I don't know. I sort of feel bad. You didn't need to go through all this trouble just for me." She said shyly. "You can stop the sorry act now. I know you want to take advantage of the money that I'm spending on all this. And I encourage you to, go ahead!" Ryan almost snapped. Talia looked slightly taken aback, but being an elf she was not going to be treated like this by a human. "Well you don't need to get snappy. I was just saying that I'm not comfortable with this kind of treatment." She retorted kind of lamely. "Well than maybe this date wasn't a good idea." Ryan suggested. "Well maybe it was!" she snarled. "Fine! Then I'm leaving!" he said, and with that he left! Talia sat there for a moment, then before she knew it tears were streaming down her cheeks.
