Here's something longer :)Don't own anything just the story and some of the characters.
My brother saw me editing this story and he was like " That's a chapter?" i said "yeah". Then he said " That's too short to be a chapter", explained that it's like that here in fanfiction. Then he said something funny at the same time touching. He said, " Then how will you able to publish it when it's that short." hahaha! I cracked up at his face. i just said "i don't know".. :D I don't know who's taking this writing more seriously. Him or I.
Spencer's pov
Its been a week since my interrogation during breakfast. I panicked for a moment when Glen kept on asking where was I most of the time that night.
" uugh, I was .." what am I going to tell them? That I was dancing intimately in the gardens under the stars with a girl?? They'll see right through me, might as well tell them the truth. I cleared my throat. "I was with a girl that I met, we talked and she showed me around. Maybe that is why we didn't caught up with each other Kyla. We were going in circles" I turned to Kyla. Ok maybe not the whole of it but still, is the truth.
" Spence, only you have that dress last night. I think I wouldn't miss you even if where going in any shapes." Kyla said to me with a quizzically.
I feigned innocence and said. " I guess your right. And I guess it's a coincidence".
" Who was this lady?" Glen asked. " You should've introduced us to her, I mean, if she got you walking around and communalizing with other guests. She must have influenced you well to have that effect on you".
I smirked at Glen. You know me so well my brother, and you're also oh so right. She intensely affected me.
" We have the same question Glen" I said as I drink my mango juice.
" Pardon?" Glen asked as I'm downing half of the glass.
" I don't know her name".
That's right I don't know her name and still don't know her name. I spent almost the whole time with her but every time that I'd ask her something she won't answer a decent question. When she does answer my question, it will ensue to my asking another question to further understand what she's disclosing. Like when I ask her about her leaving.
" You can just ask me if you want rather than answering for yourself" she said.
We're still swaying under the night. We are less close than before but I still have my arms around her slender neck and her arm's around my waist.
I looked at her. "Go on just get it out of your mind" she asked smiling. " Your doing it again. I bet you can't lie properly. You're easy to read and give away too much".
That made me smile widely because she's wrong, I'm a convincing liar and I don't give away that easily. The circle that I'm in helps with the skill. Which means it's just her.
"You've said earlier you're leaving, to where exactly? And when?" I asked her.
"Now, I'm wagering someone is going to miss me already even if we only met for one night" she said grinning.
"And maybe that someone can see you before you go" I said going along with this beauty, "or maybe that someone can give you something you can take where ever you're going".
"Now I think, if I was really gambling. I've won enough money for my grandchildren to live in luxury, not that they won't be".
So she lives in luxury but why I haven't seen her. My parents almost made sure we know everybody in the society, not that we care. They just made sure we are noted with the system.
"Ok, lets say you've won already. Can you answer my question now?'' I asked
"Maybe" she shrugged her perfect shoulders, " besides I don't exactly know where I'd be going and when am I exactly leaving".
I know she told me the truth. Her whole demeanor told me so. When I asked her who she was, she told me the same thing over and over again.
We're sitting down by the edge of the fountain again now, taking all the beautiful things in, and i'm listening to the night sing a duet with the girl's laughter beside me.
"I told you why would somebody in a mask, tell you, who they are? this is the fifth time already" she asked
"I just met some inside the ball, they weren't taking this masquerade thing at heart" I reasoned to her. "After all if that were the case then I'd make sure to have a masked ball always".
She laughed at what I said. "They don't take this at heart maybe, but I do. And hide as you may, like what I said earlier, you are easy to read".
Again, it's just you who can read as you say it. You and my family I guess.
"You're not going to tell me a name no, not even a alias?" I hopefully ask her.
She's shaking her head with a smile. "Nope and I don't have an alias".
"Then at least a last name, I mean it's a last name, many people will go under the category of just one". I said still trying.
She's laughing at my attempts now.
" Well then, there is only one way I'll get my answer" I said with resolve as I stood up.
"Pray tell". She asked sweetly.
"It didn't have to come this far but you leave me no other option". I looked her adamantly.
If I'm not getting my answer by asking nicely then I'll have to do it with force.
"Spencer? What.." she's on her feet now with a cautious look.
I'm slowly approaching her and she's backing slowly with her wary hands up.
"Stay, Spencer, stay" she said " what are you doing? Lets just continue on being civil"
I'm still advancing, she's still backing .
" But that failed already" I told her seriously " so I'm planning…"
I can see she's dreading now. I smiled wickedly and said " to take your mask off".
After I uttered the last word, her eyes popped with a playful glint. Then she turned around to escape. But I was just behind her.
The water in my tub is slowly getting cold but I don't want to get up yet. I'm still thinking about her. But I think I have to since Kyla's head is poking at the door.
"Spence? You're starting to look like raisins for our dessert later. When will you be done, when you're water turned to ice already and your lips turn to blue?" she said.
I rolled my eyes at her. " I was about to but you started bawling"
" Oh. Then get moving already" she said then left
I was about to sigh when her head poked back in. " And don't you sigh at me, I'm just concerned".
I smiled and sighed as loud as I can so she can hear me as she left. " thanks Ky!" I shouted
I sighed to myself now. Even if she's not here with me, I space out . I just can't stop thinking about her and most definitely what she said or did.
I was still chasing her and her melodious laughter. We we're getting far from the gardens but I didn't mind because all of it was focused on what is in front of me.
"No Spencer no!" she said between laugh and pant.
I caught her by the waist but we lost our balance. We landed on the plush grass laughing. I playfully tried to reach her mask but she's swatting my hands off. I seemed to give up my attempts and our laughter slowly died down.
When my breathing evened out I sat up. When we were running everything was a blur so i didn't notice where were heading. So I was shocked that were on the banks of a small lake with the stars reflecting from it surface.
I heard her sat up and move closer to me. " Why are you trying to find out who I am?" she asked softly that goes well with the tranquility of this place.
I was going to explain her again why, I turned to her slightly frustrated " I told you, I wa.." I didn't get to finish because I felt something soft on my lips. It didn't last long but I felt my head swirl.
I still have my eyes close, when I felt her lips move from me. She was still close if I move just millimeter. Her lips will be on me again.
"Spencer?" I felt her lips brushing against mine.
"hmm?" that's all I can say.
"Don't worry about it because I'll find you".
Thanks for reading.:)
I'm in a rut here. Need some energizers called "reviews"...
