Chapter 7:

After some time I knew she had fallen asleep by the way her breathing evened out so I stopped humming, yet I stayed running my fingers through her soft curls. I had the same silly grin on my face as I stayed in the same position, just staring up at the ceiling. Galinda and I had almost kissed and even though I moved away it still made me feel like I was flying. Even though every part of me was saying that Galinda and I could never work, a small part of my heart was saying that it was still a tiny possibility of Galinda finding me attractive. The last thought that entered my mind was that I was definitely in love with the small girl in my arms.

Slowly waking up I felt something touch my nose that I quickly brushed away. I felt the same sensation on my lips that made me scrunch my eyebrows together and brushed away as well. Then I finally felt the sensation on my forehead which irritated me, so I smacked at whatever was bothering me only resulting in me smacking my own face. I groaned at the sudden pain but I did hear a very distinct giggle that made me crack one eye open. What I saw was Galinda sitting on her knees with a big smile on her face, holding a feather.

"I should have known it was you." I said with a mock glare before I jumped up and grabbed Galinda to pull her back down to the bed.

"Ahhh!" Galinda screamed out in surprise.

"Why are you awake so early?" I asked as we lay on our sides with my arms around her.

"Its actually not that early." Galinda said with a smile and her eyes sparkling. "You slept in."

"I did?" I asked with a confused expression on my face.

Galinda laughed at the face I was making I cuddled further into my arms and buried her face into my neck. "You must have been really comfortable."

Chuckling from her breath tickling me I said, "I was. That was one of the best night's of sleep I think I've ever had."

"I'm glad. I slept really good also and only woke up a few minutes before you." Galinda said as she let out a sigh of contentment.

I did not want to leave the little bubble that Galinda and I were currently in, but I knew that we would have to come back to reality eventually.

So with that in mind I pulled back, sat up in bed and asked, "So are you still going to the Ozdust tonight?"

"Yes." Galinda said with a nod as she sat up as well.

"Oh. Well are you going to get ready anytime soon?" I asked hoping that I had just a few more hours with Galinda before she had to leave back to her normal life and leave me behind.

"No, I have all morning and afternoon free." Galinda said with a big smile.

My smile matched hers and I asked, "Do you want to spend the rest of your time that you have free with me?"

"Of course!" Galinda replied very enthusiastically.

I laughed from her excited response and instantly felt better that I still had time with her for a little while longer. "Ok, get ready and we will leave."

"Ok!" Galinda said jumping off the bed to the bathroom only to turn right back around and throw her arms around me. She gave me another kiss on the cheek and said, "Good morning by the way."

"Good morning." I said with a chuckle before she turned around to finish getting ready.

xxxxx

Galinda got ready in record time, which really surprised me but I was not going to complain because it gave me more time with her.

Breakfast was nothing out of the ordinary. Conversation with Galinda was so carefree and fun, that I honestly would not have minded staying in the cafe all day.

"Lets go for a walk." Galinda suggested after we finished eating.

"Where would you like to go?" I asked, secretly hoping that wherever it was we would still have fun.

Galinda gave me a loving smile. "It doesn't matter. Now come on!" With that Galinda grabbed my hand and almost dragged me across campus, all the while skipping and giggling.

Galinda finally stopped pulling me once we arrived to the walking grounds just outside of campus, yet she still kept my hand in hers. The thought of her never wanting to let go of my hand, send butterflies straight to my stomach and put a smile on my face.

"So Miss Elphie." Galinda said with a tone that I immediately knew that I was in trouble.

"Yes Miss Galinda." I said with a smile.

"What are you going to do tonight? Without me to interrupt you." Galinda asked with a sly smile.

I laughed while shaking my head. "Nothing. Probably do a little reading."

"Oz Elphie, you are so boring." Galinda said in an exasperated voice.

I grinned. "Its all a part of my charm."

Galinda giggled. "Yes, it is. But you should seriously consider going tonight."

"No, its ok." I answered with a sigh because I did not want to be in a place where everyone else would ridicule me.

Galinda stopped walking and pulled my hand to get me to stop also. "We could go together if it would make you feel better."

I shook my head and sadly said, "I'm not going."

"Please." Galinda said with a small pout that made my heart melt.

"Tell you what. Just because I'm not going tonight does not mean we cannot have fun right now right?" I said with a smile hoping it would make Galinda happy as well.

"Right." Galinda smiled, which made me feel 100 times better. "Let's go, I'll race you to the lake!"

With that Galinda took off running, giggling the whole way. She turned back around and shouted, "Come on Elphie! Catch me if you can." That was enough to make me chuckle and start running after her.

I kept chasing after Galinda, her golden hair flying in the wind while her high pitched giggles resonated towards me. Up ahead was an area of dense forest, which Galinda used to her advantage and started running in and out of the many plants and trees. I stopped running because I no longer heard Galinda's giggle or saw her anywhere near me.

"Galinda?" I asked only to be met with silence.

"Galinda?" I tried again but all I could hear was water from the lake.

I followed the noise and once I was out of the forest I saw Galinda standing at the edge of the water. She had her arms wrapped around herself and her hair was flowing in the gentle breeze. She was looking out on the water towards the setting sun, which gave off a soft yellow and orange color. I was stuck in a daze once again by the small girl. Galinda looked so beautiful that it took my breath away. I started to walk towards her without making a single noise. I came up right behind her and wrapped my own arms around her waist.

"I caught you." I whispered softly in her ear which cause Galinda to chuckle slightly and lean back towards me, while she out her ands on my arms and sighed.
