Chapter 3:
Return
The young man jumped off of the animal and silently tied it back to its original post. When he began to walk away, it whined loudly at his departure. He spun around and shushed it.
I opened the door slowly at the sudden noise. When I saw what it had come from, I weakly smiled.
"It's about time," he froze and turned around.
"Uhh… I can explain why I did this,"
"Don't bother," I stepped outside, "You needed it more than my mother and I did… Where is your uncle?"
"We've gone separate ways…" he turned to walk away
"Wait! Won't you at least stay for dinner?"
"I can't… I have… Things to do,"
"Like beg for money?" he gave me an evil glare, "I'm sorry. That was rude… I didn't mean to-"
"Whatever," I ran down the steps to where he was standing. His hair had gotten longer, and had become more handsome than I had remembered. He held something out and dropped it into my hand. It was a gold piece. I looked up at him strangely and he said:
"It's for the animal," he said as if I were dumb. I blushed at my stupidity. Once again he turned to walk away. I grabbed his arm, and I almost don't remember what happened next. I felt a rush of emotions and realized that I had kissed him. He tore away, confused. I looked down in sheer embarrassment.
"I… I'm sorry-" I backed away. I felt a hand around my waist and looked up to see his face coming closer to mine. He had really kissed me back! He pulled away blushing and ran into the brush. I sighed, smiling, and slowly walked back to the house. I never saw him again.
