Chapter 3: In the Garden of the Skywalker House
A Saturday in July 2016
Myri was surprise when she saw the garden behind Ben's house. She had never gone over to a friend's house before since she barely had any friends.
Ben's house looked already big from the outside and looked even bigger on the inside. And the garden contained a small storage and a sitting place in a wooden tower-figured building besides the trampoline, a table with 8 chairs and an old oak tree where a treehouse was built in.
Her sister Syal immediately runned to the trampoline and started to jump without her shoes on.
"Hey Myri, do you want to go with me into the treehouse?" Ben asked, holding out his hand in politeness for her.
"Of course." Myri said and blushed as Ben took her hand gently, leading her to the tree.
"Don't be afraid, I'll catch you if you fall." Ben said.
Myri smiled and climbed up the wooden stairs into the treehouse.
"I'm going to get something for us!" Ben called from down the stairs.
Myri settled down in the treehouse and looked around, mainly seeing childish paintings, colorful and happy. She giggled about the thought that Ben had made those.
The paintings were childish, but still beautiful.
Ben came back, with a small box of candy. He handed it out to her.
"Thank you." Myri said, taking a small wine gum.
"No problem." Ben said, smiling kindly at her. It was that kind of smile that would make a girl's heart melt down to the ground.
Myri felt her hart warm up, and blood rushed to her cheeks.
Ben sat down next to her, putting the box of sweets in front of them.
Myri bowed her head, she didn't want Ben to see how hard she was blushing, just because of him.
The next thing they know, they hear a girly giggle and the doors of the treehouse closed. It became cold as well.
Myri started trembling slightly while Ben tried to open the doors.
"We're stuck." Ben groaned. "And I have so my feelings that Syal is the one who did this."
"Why would my sister do this?" Myri asked as she rubbed her arms to stay warm.
"I don't know, can you think of a reason?" Ben asked.
'Because she knows I have a crush on you.' Myri replied in her thoughts, but she couldn't tell Ben, not yet at least. So she replied with: "I don't know either."
"I can only hope this is just a stupid joke." Ben said as he sat down again and wrapped an arm around Myri's shoulder. "At least I'm stuck with a beautiful girl."
"I'm not beautiful." Myri immediately said.
"You are Myri. And once you go to High School, all the boys will fall for you like a falling rock, no exceptions." Ben said. "I will probably fall like that as well."
"You're too strong to fall like that." Myri said, her face as red as a ripe tomato.
"Oh yeah?" Ben asked just before he wrapped both his arms around her.
Myri didn't mean to do it, but Ben was amazingly warm against her, and she couldn't deny the little crush she had on him, thus she gave him a kiss on his cheek.
I'm sorry that I took so long, school and homework...
Well, I hope you enjoyed this, I'll see you next time!
