*Writing an author's note has become such a big habit of mine when writing these fanfics O_o Maybe I'll start putting them at the bottom so I don't annoy you guys when you just want to jump into reading the story. OH more importantly, things are going to start getting more… interesting…between Kid and Liz now XD I'm also going to take some inspiration from a Korean Drama I watched recently called 'You're Beautiful' lol, I highly recommend it :P In addition, this chapter isn't actually my original 3rd chapter, I decided I wasn't happy with the original so I hope this one is better and suits the audience i'm aiming for better. NOW ON TO THE STORY!*
…Who the HELL… PROPOSES over TEXT MESSAGE!?
Kid was furious. He purposely let the luggage bang his leg as he walked out the train door, in case this was a dream. (*I was thinking of actually making it a dream and he wakes up on the train but I just went with this XD*)
Liz followed behind rushing to carry her 2 jam packed purses. A strap suddenly broke off one and she groaned, trying to get a better grip on it and follow Kid. By the time she reached the door, Kid was already halfway to the little town they were arranged to stay in. The train worker standing by the door turned to look at Liz.
"Would you like some help miss? It wasn't very gentlemanly-like of your boyfriend over there to not help you with your bags."
Liz was about to correct him and say Kid wasn't her boyfriend, but she decided to just smile at him and accept his offer. The train worker was seconds away from grabbing her bag when a pale hand snatched it away. Kid gave a tiny evil smirk to the worker then turned to glare at Liz.
"Liz, I don't think it's very appropriate for you to be flirting when you're engaged." He put a lot of emphasis on the 'engaged' part.
The worker, shocked, then said, "Well, as her fiancée, you should've taken better care of her."
Kid gave that worker such a deadly stare that he started sweating and excused himself.
Even if we were engaged or not, I'd always take care of Liz.
He was walking away again at a fast pace so Liz sprinted to catch up with him.
"KID! KID!"
Once she caught up she started panting. "Did you…did you see that message on my phone?"
"Perhaps." He answered trying to sound calm.
He sounds so calm about it…should I tell him there's no way I'd marry someone I've only dated for 2 weeks? And to think he did it over TEXT MESSAGE. What a loser…
When they reached the town they were greeted by a man that looked strangely similar to Spirit. Spirit's 'twin' then offered to escort them to their cottage and along the way shared some historical facts about the town. While Kid found the facts intriguing, he was still bothered by the text.
10 minutes later they were given a key and brought into their cottage. It was near the mountains. There was snow on the ground but the weather was clear and only slightly chilly.
When they walked in, Liz and Kid both exclaimed the same thing in unison.
"WOA!"
The cottage was rustic but extremely elegant looking. It was a two story and from the outside it didn't appear very big, but the inside had a huge fireplace across from a large kitchen and a small two person wooden table. It looked handmade. There was a flat screen TV and a couch that looked like you would sink right in when you sat down. There was a hot tub and small pool in the backyard, but the room that stood out the most…was the bedroom. It had a large window that allowed you to see the night sky, and an enormous walk in closet. The only bathroom in the whole cottage was attached to it as well. Sure, there was a partial downstairs, but it only had a sink and a toilet. This had an actual bath, definitely big enough for more than one person, but of course they wouldn't share it…that'd be too embarrassing. And besides...Liz is engaged.
Kid set aside the bags next to the King size bed. Yes, that's right. There was only one bed. As if sharing a cottage wasn't embarrassing enough, they have to share a bed as well.
"Now that we're here, I'm going to take a bath, I'm exhausted!" Liz said while stretching.
Kid just glanced over at her and nodded. He started to unpack. He then realized he was looking through the wrong bag. IT WAS LIZ'S. Their suitcases were both plain black, since he let her borrow one of his when they were rushing the night before. A bracelet fell out of her bag as he tried to zip it up. There was a note attached:
'For my dear girlfriend Liz, this is my gift for you…as memory of our first time'
"FIRST TIME DOING WHAT?" Kid yelled. He covered his mouth. Did I really just scream that out loud? Well... it doesn't matter!
He stormed to the bathroom. "LIZ!"
He pushed open the door with his foot and took a big step in. "LI-
Liz was wearing a towel, and standing right in front of the bath.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?"
His face turned a light pink shade as he tried to apologize while turning around and keeping his eyes shut...but he was stumbling to leave and kept bashing into the door behind him.
He went and sat on the bed, waiting. Liz came out of the bathroom soon later, wearing a loose t-shirt and shorts.
"Sooo, why did you barge into there like that?" He could have knocked. "Was there something you needed?" Kid couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not.
"Ummm...it's nothing. Forget it."
Liz crossed her arms. She noticed the bracelt in his hand.
"WHA- KID, WHY DO YOU HAVE MY BRACELET?!" She ran over and grabbed it from him.
"Well...you see...I...er...saw the note...and...Is it true Liz?"
Liz sighed ad sat down beside him. "It was just something stupid he gave me after our first date. That movie was stupid too. I really don't know why he gave this to me."
"Wait...what?" Kid asked confused.
"You said you read the note right? 'For my dear girlfriend Liz, this is my gift for you…as memory of seeing our first time' The movie we saw was called 'First Time' It was some stupid historical movie. Soooo boring!" She yawned.
Kid buried his face in his hands. He's such an IDIOT. He couldn't imagine what he might have accidentally said or done since he read the note wrong.
She glanced at him and smiled, "Were you worried or something?"
"No way!" he said getting up.
"Kid..i'm not going to marry him."
Kid was shocked and still, but ended up sighing in relief.
"Haha well, i'm not surprised. Besdies, who in their right mind would propose over a TEXT. I would propose in a much more romantic way! I'd take you on a vacation after we've been dating for a couple years and then stay in a perfect and precise resort, we'd go on a picnic and-" He stopped realizing he was rambling on.
"I'm sure that girl would be very lucky" Liz said. Wait a minute...he said "I'd take YOU..." Was he talking about ME? Maybe it was a mistake.
"Ahaha, Kid, I think you made a mistake! You said you would propose to ME!" She said with a nervous giggle. Her face was getting pink.
Kid just ignored her because he was too embarrassed to admit he accidentally told her how he would propose if they started dating.
"Ah Liz, since you're not dating anyone anymore..." He stopped himself. What was he saying? Liz doesn't like him.
His thoughts were interrupted by Liz who was now standing by the dresser.
"OH NO!" Liz yelled. He looked over, "what's wrong?"
"I broke my necklace!"
Since when was she wearing a necklace?
"It was a gift from Maka!"
Kid looked at it. It was a cheap thing that was probably given to Liz because Maka didn't want it anymore.
"Aww man...I actually kind of liked it too!" Liz threw it out in the garbage and went towards the bed.
"Oh...what should our sleeping arrangement be?"
Kid sighed. "I'll sleep on the floor."
"Oh...but the floor isn't carpeted. I can sleep on it if you want."
"No no, it's fine."
"Okay..." Liz got into bed. "Thanks"
Don't thank me yet...
Kid left the room and grabbed his wallet. It wasn't too late out so maybe some shops are still open. He might have just enough time if he takes his skateboard.
About 25 minutes later, he arrived back at the cottage. He walked back to the bedroom and lay a silver necklace onto the pillow next to where Liz was sleeping and then covered himself with a thick blanket and went to sleep on the floor, with a small smile on his face.
