I had to hop through the window of my room and quickly hide my costume. I slipped into my night wear and headed downstairs acting as best as I could being tired and drowsy. Francisco made quite the love struck ruckus.
"Francisco! Quiet down! You woke me up," I complained. I yawned the biggest one I could to make it seem plausible.
"I'm sorry, I have such wonderful news," he said dragging me into his dance.
"Oh, my! Francisco! What could have happened that was so wonderful that you'd throw me around in your dance like a rag doll?" I asked laughing as we waltzed around the room.
"I met the most wonderful woman today. So this is what love at first sight feels like!" he said gleefully. He sat down and retold our night together. "And she gave me this rose. Do you know what the color means?" he said handing me the rose I bought earlier that day.
"It means friendship or falling in love," I said turning it over.
"I want to get her a rose as well. What color shouts to the heavens 'Love at first sight'? Could it be red?" he asked as I gave his rose back to him.
"No. A thornless or violet rose means love at first sight. Red is a more passionate color," I said getting lost in his deep chestnut eyes.
"Ah! A thornless violet rose for my one and only," he said digressing. He rested his face on a fist and sighed.
"What's wrong Francisco?" I asked tilting my head to see his face.
"Tell me Scarlet, is it possible to be in love with two fabulous women?" he asked looking up at me.
"I would think so. That's how the plot of our lives gets more interesting. Of course, the romance part," I said.
"Then who must I choose? My love for so long, or my love found tonight who loves me back?" he asked.
"Well, if it was me, I'd go for the love that loved me back, but you never know. Maybe that girl you've loved for a while loves you back, but doesn't show it," I suggested.
"It isn't that easy for me! I love them both so much. Maybe I can love them both and try to win the other over," he said looking at the rose.
"They might get pissed and you might loose them both in the end, but go a head," I said leaning back in the chair.
"Oh, thank you Scarlet! You're such a help!" he said getting up. I got up too and we walked into the hall. Bidding each other a good night, we retired to our rooms. For most of the night who that girl he's loved for a while was. All I knew was that he loved me, or at least the white wind.
