Chapter 13: Night at the River

I couldn't help not smile. Queen Jinny noticed and started giggling. I gave her a shut-up look, which made her giggled more. I rolled my eyes and looked at the note. Meet me on the stairs. That's all I could think of. I wonder why? Was he going to take me or show me something? Go for walk or talk? I didn't know, but I didn't wanted to spoil the surprised. I got up and went to the kitchen.

" Thank you so much for dinner, Flora" I said.

" Oh you're welcome. Well Good night M.K." Flora said, giving me a hug. I hug her back. She was so sweet and nice, she remind so much of Mom. We let go of each other and looked at each other.

" Good night, Flora" I said. I smiled at her and turn around to say good bye to Quen Jinny. " Good night, Jinny" I said. Is the first time I use her first name. Queen Jinny looked at me, surprised but also sad cause I was leaving.

" Good night, M.K." Queen Jinny said. She stood up and gave me a hug. I hug her back. We let go and I turn to the door.

" Bye" I said, waving.

" Bye" Queen Jinny and Flora said together. I open the door and left. It was a chilly night. I walk out of the little forest of violets, where Queen Jinny's house is, passed the Great Chamber and then to the stairs. Nod wasn't there. I walked closer and I still couldn't see him.

" Nod?" I whispered. Then out of nowhere, Nod appears, which made me jump.

" Hey" Nod whispered, smiling. And obviously with my favorite smile. I'm 100% sure that I fell for his normal smile.

" Hey… umm why did you wanted me to meet you here? I asked. Even though don't mind as long as I'm with Nod is fine with me, but I couldn't help been curious.

" I wanted to take you for walk, you know. There is a river not far from here, it perfect for a night like this… But you know if you want to." Nod whispered, rubbing the back of his neck. I smiled. Of course I wanted to go. Everywhere he takes me is so beautiful that you never really wanted to leave.

" Of course I want to go" I whispered, with joy in my voice. Nod blushed a little and smiled.

" Well alright. Come on" Nod whispered, lending his hand. I took it and he started walking to the forest, hand-to-hand. After a few moments, I got a glimpse of water and then we were on the hedge of the river. It was beautiful, I mean with the moonlight on top of it, it looked so beautiful. This almost looked like a beach walk in the moonlight. Then Nod and me were walking on the hedge of the river, still hand-to-hand.

" So how was your chat with Mub" Nod teased. I rolled my eyes.

" Funny and weird. And how about you and Ronin, you two were pretty deep in conversation. It look cute, though." I said. It was true, though. I mean they didn't get along so well before and now seen them like this looked pretty cute. Nod rolled his eyes.

" Yeah well, we just talking about the new security system and joking about some leafmen and-

" About Mub and me" I interrupted. Nod tried to look innocent, but he couldn't. He just smirked.

" Yeah well come on. I mean he said that he was available, I mean that was funny cause you know is not going to work out." Nod said. Even though is true, I did feel bad for Mub. I just hope he finds a lady friend or something.

" Yeah, I have to admit it was funny, but still a little gross." I said. Nod laughed. It was true it was gross the way he said it and the flirty look he gave me. Then something came to mind. " And I noticed that someone was a little jealous of Mub's flirty looks" I teased. It was true. When Mub gave me a flirty look, I could see Nod rolling his eyes. Nod tried to look innocent again, but again couldn't pull it off.

" Mmm Yeah, maybe just a little bit" Nod said, while rubbing the back of his neck. I smiled at him. Then I lean and kissed him on the cheek. Nod eyes widen a little, as always. Then he smiled my favorite smile. " I guess sometimes been jealous is good a thing" Nod smiled. I giggled. Nod always made me laugh. He was really too cute. I wanted to kissed him so badly, I mean we where alone. Nobody was here. I hope so. " You know M.K… umm that I… um really like you, you know" Nod said, while rubbing the back of his neck and looking at the ground. Of course I know, I thought. I couldn't still believe he said it. I mean I know he was, but he never really told me or anything. I never told him either, but this was my chance. I gave his hand a little squeezed.

" Well, I really like you too, you know" I said, a little shy. I never told a guy I liked him before. Nod lifted his head and looked at me. He smiled, and I smiled back. We looked at each other and then we started leaning. Oh please let it be, I thought. We were really really close, closer than ever. Our lips were about touch. My heart was beating fast. Closer, closer, closer and… crack. We were back to reality, again. But then I noticed that the sound came from the forest, and I got nervous. Nod put me behind him and took out his sword.

" Whose there?" Nod asked, very serious. I gripped Nod's arm and looked over his shoulder. The forest was dark and a little scary looking. Nod took a step closer to the forest. I gripped his arm tightly.

" What are you doing?" I whispered, panicked. What if it was a boggan? I didn't Nod to get hurt again. Nod turn and looked at me.

" Don't worry I'll be fine… I promise." Nod said. Nod noticed the worried look on my face and kissed my cheek. This reminds of the time I told him to be careful and then he comes all injured. Nod looked at me and then turns to the forest. And then he was gone. I started to get really nervous and worried. What if he never came back? What if it was a boggan and he will attack him again? I tried to get those thought out of my head. But then I heard a thump.

" Agh" Nod groaned.

" Nod, are you ok?" I bellowed. Did a boggan attack him?

" Yeah just slipped on… what the heck?... Ugh that stupid slick" Nod bellowed. Slick? Oh no, please don't tell me is what I'm thinking. Just then Nod came and his was wiping something from his shoulder. He then looked at me. " You know what I found out there? Slime." Nod said, annoyed and angry. I bit my lower lip. I knew what he meant by that. Mub was spying on us. Nod hated when he is spying on him, I mean who wouldn't? " Man, that stupid slick wouldn't even let me a break" Nod complained. I smirked. Nod noticed and rolled his eyes.

" I'm sorry. It's just funny sometimes, but still that doesn't mean it doesn't annoying me." I said. Nod looked to another direction, annoyed and angry. I took his hand. " Hey, just ignore him, alright. The more you ignore him, the less you'll noticed him, alright" I said. Nod looked at me and gave me a small smile.

" Alright. I'll try, is not easy to ignored two floating eyes." Nod joked. I chuckled. He then looked at our hands. " I think we should, you know, go. I don't want Ronin to mock us again." Nod said. I giggled and then I nodded.

" Yeah, we should go. I'm a little tired." I said. I was getting a little tired. Nod nodded and we walked, hand-to-hand, out of the forest. When we were in front of the stairs, we both looked at each other.

" Well, I guess… Good night M.K." Nod said, smiling. He lean and kissed my cheek. I blushed. I gave his hand a little squeezed.

" Good night Nod" I said. I lean and kissed him on the cheek too. He blushed too, and smiled my favorite smile. We let go of our hands slowly. I smiled at Nod and turn around to the stairs. When I was in my room, the first thing I did was changed and off to bed. I was exhausted and tired, but the good thing was that I dreamed about Nod that night. It was another perfect night.
