As I lay next to this strange boy I tried to think of a way to tell the story without making it seem like I had lost my marbles. If I told the story to anyone other than my trusty butler I would be shipped off to an asylum.
“Well,” I started as I looked up into the now dark sky. “A year ago today my grandmother died. When I was packing up her stuff I came upon some old heirlooms that were more valuable than anybody knew.”
“That wasn’t a very long story,” he remarked as he chuckled. I turned my head to him and smiled.
“Well that’s the short version,” I defended jokingly. A smile found its way gently across his face as he threaded his hands together on his stomach.
“If you say so princess.”
“So what’s your story?” I asked curiously. After a moment of contemplation he rubbed his chin and spoke.
“I just kinda felt a tug pulling me here and then poof! I was here before you.”
“Oh is that so? A cute boy like you just happens to enjoy roaming around graveyards at crazy hours and talking to random girls,” I said skeptically and rolled my eyes.
“Well when you say it like that it makes me seem downright certifiable!” I couldn’t help but laugh at how his thoughts mirrored my earlier ones.
“For all I know you could be!” I said laughing. If this beautiful boy before me was a psycho, then hell be damned, I guess I might as well join in the insanity as well.
“If I was insane I don’t think you would keep me around very long,” he commented lightly.
“Now you’re assuming that I’d keep you around if you aren’t insane?” I joked
“Well are you going to be keeping me around, freeing me from this spell, or are you going to just use me and get rid of me like all of the others,” he seemed serious suddenly.
“I’m not like most girls. I’m not going to use you and get rid of you and I’m certainly not going to let a great catch like you get away! Especially since I have you under spell!” he had such a way with words. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he said I had him under a spell. Did he really find me so amazing? Where had this little Romeo been hiding for so long?
A sudden movement behind us startled me. I spun around to see my butler holding a jacket for me. I had been so caught up in talking with this boy that I hadn’t even noticed him. I stood up and his eyes looked to me.
“I have to go but I would really like it if I could see you again,” I told him my address and with a nod from him I walked off towards my car with Mr. Chatter.
