This drabble is inspired by a song, so please take a moment and read the lyrics I add, it adds so much ;)
31. Flowers
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café
I watched it begin again
Eight and I are walking in the town; today we decided to go out and eat something in a coffee shop.
As we get closer, the nice scents fill our noses and mouths; I see buns coming from the bakery, colorful drinks and small cupcakes with pink cream.
Eight pulls away my sit and I get in, smiling gratefully at him and try to hide my warm cheeks; after a few seconds a waiter takes our orders and walks away.
Soon, Eight breaks the silence and we start to talk and laugh about everything that happened when we didn't have a chance to stop and talk we each other;
We talk about how Six pulled Nine away from the Lecture Hall by his ear and he yelled at her. Or how Nine always complains whenever I make a vegetarian meal.
We also talk about Sam and his father, Malcolm. They're nice people; Sam seems very friendly and he is. Malcolm supports as and helps us to understand our Legacies and the items in our Chests.
Taking a breath, I dare myself to ask Eight something. We are best friends, I tell myself. Ask him.
"Do you still have nightmares?" I manage to ask. Eight looks at me and I feel relief when he smiles and me and says, "Sometimes, but it's not as bad as I have all the time."
"I'm glad to hear that," I smile and place my hand on the back of Eight's. He smiles and turn his hand around, so he hold mine and something catches my eye; in the other side of the street, there's a little flowers shop, beautiful flowers.
The wind blows my hair and I swear I can smell the gentle scent of roses.
Eight realized what I'm looking at and asks, "Do you like flowers, Marina?"
I quickly turn my head around and answer, "Yeah, I used to heal flowers in Spain. Well, more like at the orphanage."
"The flowers are thankful, I'm sure," He giggles and I laugh back.
"I think it will be nice if we bring some flowers to the penthouse," I say and look at him.
"You're right," Eight says. "So, do you want to buy some roses after we'll finish eating?" He asks and I nod, feeling the blush in my cheeks again.
I took the song "Begin Again" [by Taylor Swift] as the inspired-by-song because I really like the mood in this song, it's calm and quite and fit this drabble.
Hope you liked it ;)
Thank you for the reviews :D
