Chapter 4: The Date
Helia's P.O.V
Man, am I nervous. Flora's almost going to be here. I look down and realize I still have on my tattered clothes. I quickly grab my decent clothes and change into them (Season 2 and 3 outfit). I put my guitar on the couch since I am going to play and sing a song I wrote for her.
I hear a knock on the door and I take a deep breath then open it. Once I open it I see Flora and my jaw drop. She looks absolutely gorgeous. "Um…you look…wow."
She giggles and blushes, "Thank you."
"Y-your welcome. Come on in." I said holding the door open.
"Thank you." She said stepping in.
"Um…these are for you." I said handing her a bouquet of wildflowers I found.
"Thank you, Helia, that's so sweet." She said smiling and sniffing them. I look down blushing and walks towards the table and holds out a chair for her. She smiles at me gratefully and sits down.
"So, I, uh…went into town and sell some art and play my guitar some of them and got a little money. So I bought eggs, cheese, milk, plates, utensils, and stuff like that. And I also got a tea kettle and some tea bags. I…um…hope you like Oolong." I said getting two mugs out.
"Yes, I love Oolong, actually every tea out there." She said giggling that melodic giggle.
I smile and place a mug in front of her and went to get food out of the oven. "I made a vegetable casserole and rice with buncha spices I bought. I hope that's okay." I said putting food on the plates and carry them to the table. I set one down in front of her and then sit down putting my plate on the table.
"Of course its all right. It smells really good." She said taking a bite. "And it taste really good." She said smiling at me.
"Th-thank you." I said blushing and take a bite out of my food.
After we finish eating we did dishes, I washed and she dried. Even though I kept telling her she didn't have to help she insisted. I love how kind and helpful she is. Now we are sitting on the couch drinking tea in silence. I kept gazing at her admiring her beauty but she catches me and I quickly turn away.
"Um…Flora?" I said setting down my tea and getting my guitar.
"Hmm?" She said looking at me noticing I have my guitar.
"I…uh…wrote a song for you." I said blushing.
"You did?" She asked blushing.
"Yes, would you like to hear it?" I asked before I lose my nerve.
"O-okay." She said.
I take a deep breath and start strumming and singing:
Hey there Flora
What's it like in Lynphea City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
The Palace can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Flora
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Flora
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Flora
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Hey there Flora here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
I finish and look at her and she has tears her in eyes. Is that a good or bad thing?
"Oh, Helia!" She exclaimed wrapping her arms around me and just all of sudden kiss me. My eyes widened and I just sat there shocked. But I got over it and decide to kiss her back but she pulls away looking mortified.
"Oh, God, I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me." She said blushing looking away.
"No, its okay. It was just surprising that's all." I said grabbing her hand and kiss the back of it.
She looks at me still blushing and I lean in and kiss her. I wrap my arms around her and enjoy every second of it.
After a while we pull away needing air and both of us blushing. "So, want to go on another date?" I asked smiling.
"Yes, of course I would." She said hugging me.
"And maybe be my girlfriend?" I said hopefully.
"You didn't have to asked." She said kissing my cheek and I feel a goofy grin spreading across my face.
"You made me so happy, my flower princess." I said holding her close.
"Aw, that's a cute nickname." She said leaning her forehead against mine.
"Well, there is plenty of more where that came from, my pretty little flower." I said kissing her nose.
"Oh, Helia." She said giving me a peck on the lips.
We stay like that for a few minutes till she pulls away sighing. "Sadly, I have to go. Maybe you can come by tomorrow so you can meet my family and friends?" She said looking at me hopefully.
"What if they hate me?" I asked terrified.
"They wouldn't, they'll love you, please?" SHe said giving me puppy dogs eyes.
"How can I say no to you?" I said smiling.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed hugging me.
"Your welcome. And not that I don't want you to stay and we can be like this for the rest of the night but you better go or else they will hate me." I said squeezing her a bit and pull away.
"Okay." She said then gives me a lingering kiss. I kiss back happily.
She pulls away and we stand up and I open the door for her. "Goodbye, Helia, see you tomorrow." She said walking out. "Oh and thank you for tonight, it was amazing." She said kissing my cheek.
"Your welcome, it yes it was amazing." I said smiling and grabbing her hand and kiss it. "Goodbye, my Flora flower. I'll be counting down till I see you again."
She looks down blushing and summons up a portal. She steps in and waves at me. I wave back and she's gone. I just stare dreamily where the portal disappeared. I can't believe the beautiful Princess of Lynphea is my girlfriend. Best day of my life.
