章節 5: Proposal
Zack knocked on the door. I was sleeping, until I heard knocking. Liam tightened his grip on me, before telling them to come in. I was barely awake to see him come in.
"Hello brother..." Zack greeted, while nodding his head once to Liam. "Are you awake?" His gaze went to me as he asked.
"Me?" I asked.
"Yes, I wanted to thank you. She did come." Zack started to tear up. "The royal wizard, Arthur, brought her back to life. She has been recovering ever since. She just got the okay from him, to see me. So Violet, thank you very much. I'm sorry for calling you a liar." He apologized. A girl with long black hair comes running in. She looks around my age, but a bit younger. She has these beautiful pastel pink eyes.
"Hello! Hi Liam! Hello miss!" The girl smiled. I recognize the voice. It's Annabelle. She dances over to us.
"I'm Annabelle! It's nice to meet you!" She says in a very cheerful tone.
"Hi! I'm Violet!" I smile.
"I know! Zack told me all about how you told him what I said. Thank you! I couldn't wait to tell him, he had to know!" She tells me.
"C'mon! Let's go dance Zack! We should also go on an adventure!" Her eyes lit up even more.
"No, Annabelle! Remember you're still recovering! I'm already breaking the rules, by letting you leave the room." Zack scolds her.
"But I want to go explore! Let's go skydiving! That'll be fun! Oh, wait I can't fly...But you can! You can fly us up there and we can skydive! It'll be so much fun! Oh! We can go on the garden! Or, no we can go scuba diving!" She rambles.
Zack shakes his head in disapproval. Liam laughs.
"You two haven't changed, I see." They look at him.
"What do you mean?" Annabelle asks.
"Well you're always trying to get Zack to do stuff, and Zack always disapproves it, cause it's dangerous. But we all know eventually he's going to agree to do it...because my big brother can't resist puppy dog eyes." Liam laughs. I smile.
"Well, even if she gives me puppy dog eyes, I'm not letting her do any of this." Zack responds.
"What?! But I want to do something fun! Not just sit around doing nothing!" Annabelle yells in an dramatic tone.
"I know you do, but I'm not giving in this time! I'm sure Liam Agrees with me." Zack says.
"I do agree...if it was Violet, I wouldn't let her leave for any reason...I'm surprised you even let her out of the room." Liam responds.
"I had to do so many puppy eyes, but I finally got him! He couldn't resist my hug and smile. I just had to hug, and give puppy dog eyes, then smile a bunch!" Annabelle declares.
"You realize that's not going to work on me, don't you?" Zack tells her.
"Yes it is! You can't resist!" Annabelle replies.
"Yes I can, I just chose to go along with what you say, because it's normally safer. You'll just come up with a bunch of ways to do it anyway." Zack explains.
"Well, you can either do it with me, and ensure my safety. Or you could wait till I sneak out and I do them by myself. Even though I want to do them with you!" Annabelle pouts.
"Let's take this somewhere else, my brother was trying to sleep before, plus someone should be in bed!" Zack suggests. They leave.
"Wow! I've never seen him so...lively!" I say to Liam. He smiles.
"Yep! Feels just like before! They were always arguing, because she wanted to do something dangerous. But since he cares for her, he doesn't want to do it, because she could get hurt. Now, he's probably not going to give in, because he doesn't want to hurt her." Liam explains.
"But won't she just go and do them anyway?" I ask.
"No, like she said, she wants to do them with Zack. If he doesn't go, she won't...it's as simple as that. It's funny. She's the brighter personality, but she's kind of his shadow. She goes where ever he goes." Liam explains.
"That is kind of funny!" I say. We hear a knock.
"Come in!" Liam yells. Xander opens the door, this time without the cat.
"Hey hot head! Loretta wanted to know how you want the books organized." Xander tells Liam.
"She can organize them however she wants. I don't ever go in there!" Liam says.
"Oh yeah! Xander, is there something going on between you and Autumn?" I ask. He blushes.
"W-what? No! We just talk a bit!" Autumn responds. "Why?"
"Well I heard you two have been talking about us behind our backs!" I accuse.
"I only told her of when I walked in on you!" Xander defends himself.
"You lair! You should have seen the horrified look she had! I had to explain it was a joke!" I tell him.
"Wait cat brain has been telling Autumn about our jokes? Are you trying to steal our jokes cat boy?!" Liam asks confused. We both face palm. Where did he get the idea we were talking about jokes being stolen?
An hour later I went by the pool. I wanted to talk to Autumn for a bit. But when I opened the door, I could see Autumn horizontal making out with someone. I quickly realize it's Xander.
"Whoops! I thought you said nothing was going on!" I said in a teasing tone. Autumn gasps. The dark aura surrounds her again, as she gives me a death glare.
"Autumn does have a love rival!"
"What? No! It's just that the tables sure have turned! Now I'm catching you two making out, instead of Xander catching Liam and I making out!" I say. Her dark aura diminishes"He'll be happy to here about this!" I yell as I run out the door. When I get to our room, Liam is just leaving.
"Liam!" I shout.
"What?! What is it?!" He looked panicked. Maybe he thinks it's something serious?
"You'll never guess what I saw!" I say to him.
"Liam!" I hear Xander yelling from across the hall. He's out of breath.
"Xander and Autumn were making out by pool!" I yell. Xander trips, and face plants as I say it.
"Xander! Is my handsome darling okay?! Autumn will help you out my darling!" Autumn comes running after him. Liam starts laughing.
"So Litter head got a girlfriend!" Liam laughs.
"Looks like it!" I say.
"No! We aren't dating!" Xander denies.
"What?! Autumn and Xander aren't? Autumn thought they were..." Autumn looks down starting to tear up.
"Aww...Autumn don't cry! Do you want a hug?" Xander asks, completely forgetting Liam and I are here. Autumn nods her head. They hug and she starts crying harder.
"Autumn is sorry! She makes others uncomfortable. Autumn can't help, but want to get rid of anyone, who tries to steal her love..." Autumn starts to stand up. Xander sighs. He grabs her wrist and pulls her back down.
"Don't go." Xander tells her. Then he kisses her. Her face looks so happy I can't even explain it.
"Well we should be going Love birds.." I announce. I pull Liam into our room to give them alone time.
"C'mon I was going to make jokes for all the times he did!" Liam starts pouting.
"Nope, let them enjoy their first couple day's together" I tell him.
"No!" Liam refuses. I kiss him.
"There. Happy?" I say. He smiles.
"I don't know, I think I need another to find out." He tells me. I kiss him again, but we hold for much longer than usual. Neither of us wanted to pull back, but we did. At the end of the kiss we were panting, we were running out of breath before.
"Yeah, I'm happy" Liam whisper in my ear. He pulls me close. We are standing in each other's embrace. I try to pull out, but he won't let me. "Is someone trying to escape?" He says with a smirk.
"Never" I say.
"Really? Then why were you trying to pull away?" He asks.
"So we can move to the bed of course" I say. He pulls us to the bed and I sit on his lap facing him. My arms wrap around him.
"Hmm...you're heavy Vivi.." Liam says with a grin.
"What?! No I'm not! Why are you only commenting about this no-" he cuts me off with a kiss. "But! Why only now are you-" I try to continue.
"Shoooosh!" He says while putting a finger to my mouth.
"Why do I need to be qui-" he kisses me again.
"Vivi calm down.." he tells me.
"No, I'm not going to!" I pout and turn around. He hugs me, and starts kissing my shoulder. I blush.
"I was only joking, you aren't heavy. You're as light as a feather" Liam tells me. I continue to pout. He sighs, and lets go of me. I turn toward him, and he has a big grin on his face. He suddenly pulls us back, so that I'm lying on top of him.
"W-what are you doing?" I ask. He pulls my left hand into view, and puts a ring on it. It's a silver ring with four dragon designs, holding a black stone in the middle of the ring. It looks so beautiful.
"Vivi! I love you! I'm going to marry you, so I though that I should get you something to represent that" he smiles. I smile, and start tearing up.
"Thank you Liam! I love you too!" I say.
"This ring is a very rare ring. You've heard of the crystal forest, right?" Liam asks.
"Yeah?" I wonder what he's bringing that up for. Is the ring made of crystal?
"This ring is made of silver and obsidian. This is a reminder, for you to know I'll always protect you." Liam explains to me. "My great, great, great, and about four more greats, grandfather got made this ring for his wife. It's been passed down for generations."
"Well, I'll also always protect you!" I tell him. He smiles.
"Thank you! But for the record, I said it first! I win!" He says. I laugh.
"But I'll win the next one!" I tell him. "I already won the first 'I love you'!"
"Yeah, well that doesn't count! I was under the influence of a potion!" He says. I sit up.
"It doesn't matter, I still won!" I say. I grin, and stand up. I walk over to the balcony and look off it. I hear a laugh from behind me. I turn around to see Liam right behind me, with a smirk on his face. "You'll regret saying that!" He says, as I start to back up a bit.
"Liam? What are you doing?" I ask, as he steps closer, and closer. I have hit the edge of the balcony, now. Liam puts his arm around me.
"Are you ready?" He asks.
"Ready for-" I start, but we shoot up in the air. I clutch him tight, and close my eyes. He keeps a firm grip around my waist.
"For fast flying, of course!" He says. He scared me! It was too quick, and I feel disoriented. At some point I must have started to tear up, because his grip tightened and he started to slow down. "Vivi? Did I scare you?" He asks. I nod my head.
"Yeah, a bit. But I'm alright now." My words sound shaky. I don't think he believed I'm alright. I'm mostly just startled. I wasn't expecting to go flying so fast. I've somewhat regained my composure.
"I'm sorry Vivi" I could see the guilt on his face as he said it.
"It's okay! I'm fine, I was just startled." I reassure him.
"Are you sure? Do you want me to bring you down." He asks sounding saddened.
"No, you can continue" I tell him. "And, yes, I'm sure." He smiles. His eyes fill with joy, and I kiss him. He flies us around the castle. We end up flying over the entire village. By the time we got back, the sun was setting. He stops us, floating; looking over the castle, as the sun is setting over the horizon.
"It's beautiful..." I say, amazed by the purple and orange sunset. Liam shifts our position so that we're somewhat laying, and I lay my head on his chest.
"You're cold..." Liam says, when he puts his hand on my arm.
"I'm okay..." I tell him. To be very honest, I have gotten a bit cold, while we were flying. But I liked being there with him, so I didn't mind. What I like is that, every time I touch him, I feel warm. It makes sense though. He's always generated a lot of body heat, since he is a fire dragon.
"We should head back." He says, as he wraps his arms around my cold arms. "Your arms are so cold...why didn't you tell me?" He asks.
"I didn't notice really, until you pointed it out." I tell him. We leave and get back to our room. He lets go of me, and I shiver. He notices this, and hugs me. The warmth feels so good. We pull out of the hug, and walk into our room.
"Go into bed, you'll warm up." Liam suggests. I do that, and he joins me, cuddling me.
The next morning, we are warm in each other's embrace.
