Disclaimer: The rain washes away all that was, revealing what will be.
I let out a huge groan as I walked up the flight of stairs to where Todd's room is. Now that I know what I really feel, I guess I can give this love thing a shot.
By 'I guess', I mean the boss will play matchmaker and have me kiss him if I don't do this on my own. I think she wants to see if I can make him a prince.
I stop at his door and knock lightly.
"Hold on a second, yo." He says as he comes to the door, apparently tripping over random objects in his floor to do so. When he opened the door he looked shocked.
"Wanda. Why are you here?"
"I… I wanted to say that I was sorry about casting that spell on you two." I say. "It was stupid and wrong and I shouldn't have done it."
"It's okay, snookums." He says. "I forgot to say thank you for that save back there."
"You're welcome." I reply. He almost shut the door before I got my courage up to speak again. "Actually, there is something else."
"Yeah." He stops. "What is it?"
I had to really think before I spoke this time. Some things are worth doing right the first time. "Listen, Todd, The reason I cast the spell was to decide which of you really cared."
"Oh." He said. "Did it help?"
It did more than that. "It did." I told him. "I thought at first when I pushed you out of the way that it was just because you were closer, but now I think it's something more."
"You mean that you like me?" He asks. "You really like me?"
God, this is going to be painful. "Look, I'm willing to give you a chance if you promise to stop pestering me when I ask you to. Is that workable?"
"You'a wish is my command, cuddlebumps!" He bows to me as he smiles. "I'll be good, I promise."
"Okay." I smile. "We can talk more later."
"Okay." He nodds his head feverantly. "I'll do that."
I smile back at him and walk back to my room. Somehow, this day didn't turn out quite the way I thought it would.
"Uh, Wanda." Todd asks, sticking his head out the door.
"Yes?" I reply.
"What made you change your mind?" He asks.
"Let's just say that the boss's love live is crazy enough to become a soap opera." I tell him. He busts out giggling.
"Say no more, snookums. Say no more!" he cackles.
I smile politely as he shuts the door.
I could still hear his laughing from my bedroom.
That's all folks! Thank you for reading!
