Chapter 3
I had spent a measly three days in the forest and already I was exhausted beyond explanation.
"If I had known we had had to do this much work, I wouldn't have come," I said unhappily.
"I know, but if you had known and hadn't come, I wouldn't be with you. I am so glad Tally that you came; otherwise I wouldn't have known how I really feel about you. I know this might be a little bit too early to say this, but I have to. Tally, I love you."
"What?" I asked so surprised and confused. I wasn't sure if I was ready to tell him I love him, but I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I still liked him a lot. "David, I like you a lot, but I'm not sure I love you yet."
"I know how you feel. It's okay, you can just think for as long as you need. I don't care if you don't ever love me but I'm just glad to have you here.
"David, can I go home and just rest for a while?"
"Yeah, of course, I'll finish cutting the logs. Can you take back what we've already done though?"
"Sure, I'll see you later."
As I got to our stone tower house I unloaded the logs and walked inside. Our house wasn't much but stone walls, blankets and pillows. I sat down on my bed, and thought about that akward few minutes. I started to doze off but jolted awake when I heard David fly up and drop off some logs. I lay back down and tried to fall asleep. I started to dream about David…
"What are you doing here? I thought you were out cutting logs," I said.
"I came back to rearrange the house and to tell you something," David replied.
"What are you rearranging?"
"The beds and to give you this," he said.
Suddenly he came up and kissed me.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed and jumped out of my bed. "David? Are you there? I have to ask you something."
"Yes I'm here, what do you want?" he replied.
"I had this dream. I want to tell you about it. It was kind of weird."
