A/N Sorry I haven't updated in a minute. School. That is all I have to say. -_- Anyway, so because of this, I'll try to update on weekends. On to chapter 4!:)
Disclaimer: I own nothing! Just the plot! :D
Elizabeta woke up late on a Saturday morning like she always did. She looked at her alarm clock which read 10:24 a.m. It's been 4 days since she and Roderich met and as each day passed, they became friendlier with each other. Elizabeta stretched and got out of bed. She passed by her calendar and looked at it for a moment. The calendar read August 12th. Elizabeta frowned. Today was the day she and Gilbert broke up.
Elizabeta got back into bed. She's been doing that for 3 years whenever this day came around. Of course she was independent, but she still kind of hurt on the day of August 12th. Suddenly, Elizabeta hopped out of bed and started scrambling around to get dressed. "You know what?" She said to herself after getting dressed, "Screw this. I don't have to lie in bed all day being all depressed when it's a beautiful day today. I can go to the park or something. Get my mind off of this day period." And with that, she left home for the park.
To be honest, she didn't really know why she wanted to go to the park. But she enjoyed the long walk she took. Elizabeta looked around. 'Where the hell am I?' She thought to herself as she tried to find where she was. But all she saw were trees. Elizabeta sighed and sat down under a tree. 'Well this is just fan-fucking-tastic. I'm lost, it's hot, I'm hungry, and all of this just had to happen on August 12th.' She thought bitterly. Suddenly, she sneezed.
"God Bless You."
"Thanks." Elizabeta said and looked around for who told her God Bless You. 'Well who said it?' She thought. Elizabeta crawled around to the other side of the tree to see a man reading 'The Closing by Lilli Margret '
"Roderich?" She said to the man. She wasn't really sure if that was him or not. After all, she was hot and hungry; Elizabeta thought she was starting to imagine man looked up from his book and smiled warmly at her. "Good afternoon Elizabeta." Elizabeta smiled. It really was Roderich! Elizabeta threw her arms around him. "Roderich! I'm so glad to see you! I knew I wasn't that crazy to start imagining things!"
Roderich was stunned. He wasn't really sure if he should hug her back or not. But in the end he did hug her back. "I'm glad you found me?" He said not really sure how to respond. Elizabeta released him and smiled. "I'm glad I found you too! So what are you doing here?"
"I just came here to read. I didn't want to stay inside on a beautiful day. Besides, not a lot of people come to the back of the park considering that it's so quiet back here." He said.
"So that's where I am! Here I am thinking that no one is gonna find me in this part of the park but really, I'm only in the back of the park!" Elizabeta exclaimed.
"Wait, you thought you were lost…in the park?" Roderich asked.
"Well I don't come to the park often. I only come to clear my mind." She said softly.
Roderich nodded. "I understand. I go places to clear my mind also. However, I remember where I'm going." He said smiling.
Elizabeta laughed. "Well there's only one problem that remains." As if on cue, her stomach growled and she frowned. "I'm kind of starving." She said in a monotone voice. Roderich gazed at his watch. "Well it's 12:02, we can go somewhere in Budapest to eat if you like."
Elizabeta shrugged. "That sounds like a plan to me." She said getting off of the ground and dusting herself. She extended her hand to Roderich to help him up. "Need a hand?" She asked. He accepted her hand and she pulled him up. "So where did you have in mind?" She asked.
"I'm not sure. But I sure we can find somewhere." Roderich said smiling. And with that, the two walked off and into the city of Budapest; both unaware that they were still holding hands. Eventually, they found a small food shop that was called 'Élelmiszer' and they took a table outside.
"I been wanting to ask you but I always forgot to ask: but what is that book your reading about?" Elizabeta asked.
"It's a mystery book...sort of. But anyway, it's about a woman who is trying to find out who murdered her son. However, what she doesn't know is that the love of her life was the culpurate." Roderich said.
"That doesn't sound bad at all. Have you finished the book yet?" She asked. He shook his head. "No not yet. But I've only got about 30 more pages left." There was a short silence. "Elizabeta?" Roderich said.
"Yes?" She said. "I've been in Hungary for almost 2 weeks and I haven't gone sightseeing yet. Would you mind going with me?" He asked. It's been a while since Elizabeta went sightseeing. 16 years to be exact. Maybe they changed some things during that time. "Sure. I'll go sightseeing with you. We'll go after lunch." She said.
Roderich smiled. "Excellent."
After lunch true to her word, Elizabeta took Roderich sightseeing. She took him to the Parliament House, The Herend Porcelain Factory, art museums, and Godollo Castle. By the time they were finished, it was almost 8:00. "Today has been amazing. Thank you for taking me sightseeing Elizabeta." Roderich said.
"It was no problem at all. I had a lot of fun too." Elizabeta said. Suddenly, a rain drop fell from the sky and rolled down Elizabeta's cheek. "But this stupid rain is a problem."She mumbled.
"Well I better get going if I don't want to be caught in this rain. Have a goodnight Elizabeta."Roderich said and turned to leave. But before he could start walking, Elizabeta grabbed his hand.
"Are you sure you'll be ok? I mean you do have to walk 4 blocks and I'm only a bock and a half. Besides, this rain looks like this rain is going to start coming down pretty quickly." Elizabeta said. She was right the rain was staring to come down faster.
"I'll be fine. I don't want to intrude on your home." He said.
"Oh but you won't be intruding, I insist. Come on." Elizabeta said pulling him off in the direction of her home. By the time they got to her home, they were soaked. "Home sweet home." She said taking off her shoes and leaving to another room. Roderich looked around. It had a modern look to it. The living room was painted an eggshell color with a television, a coffee table and a golden colored couch. When Elizabeta came back, she had a towel on her hair and another in her hand. "Catch." She said and tossed the towel in his direction which he caught.
"Thank you. And thank you for letting me stay here. I am again, in your debt." Roderich said drying off his hair. Even though his hair was soaked, that one piece of curly hair still stood up. 'How is that even possible?' Elizabeta thought. "I'm going to order some Chinese. Do you want anything?"
"House Fried Rice would be fine. Thank you." Roderich said.
"Alright. You can pick out a movie while I order." She said walking to the kitchen. Roderich walked over to the bookshelf that were half filled with books and the other half filled with movies. In the end he ended up selecting Sherlock Holmes. When Elizabeta came out of the kitchen, she opened a door in the hallway and descended down a flight of stairs. When she came back up, she had black pajamas in her hand and she gave them to Roderich.
"You can put this on. Sorry that there a little dusty..It's been a while since they've been out." Elizabeta said scratching her head and smiling.
"They will do just fine. Thank You."
"You're welcome. The bathroom is the second door to the left so you can change in there." Elizabeta said using her finger as a guide.
"Alright." Roderich said and headed off to his destination. By the time Roderich came back in the living room, the food had arrived, Elizabeta was in her pajamas and the couch was transformed into a bed. 'Just how long was I in the bathroom?' He thought but he shook off the thought and climbed in to the bed. Elizabeta turned off all of the lights in the house and started up the movie.
Elizabeta finished eating before the movie ended and now she felt sleepy. 'I've seen this movie hundreds of time so I know what's gonna happen next..But I still wanna watch it. Oh! I know! I'll just rest my eyes for two minutes, and then I can finish watching the movie! Oh Lizzie, you smart girl you!' Elizabeta thought. Slowly her eyes started to close and she fell asleep.
When the movie was over, Elizabeta was still asleep. Not wanting to wake her, Roderich turned off the television, took off his glasses, and went to sleep…with Elizabeta.
