Chapter 127 - Silly (2/2)
”You are not allowed to reject me,” he said and leaned near her head, ”you are my…”
”I am not your servant anymore, nor do I need to pay you any life-saving debt.”
She frowned and pushed him from her. Her eyes didn't seem normal, there was no easy-going mischievousness, but a little sadness.
He knew that she was remembering her parents, the Smith Couple. He also knew that she might know that he was the one pressuring them to make her sign those papers back then. She must hate him, he thought.
”Don't care, you are not allowed to deny me.”
”I can, and I will, then I will go and marry another…” she pushed him back and moved towards the door. However, before she could escape, he took her hand.
”I am sorry, Beth,” he whispered. ”I wanted to come back early, I am sorry.”
She didn't turn back and went away.

The next few days, they didn't talk. However, Henry held her hand every day to each classroom, to the cafeteria, to the library, even to her house. He was declaring his possession of her.
”Can you stop now?” Beth pinched his hand, ”Grandpa won't like this.”
She knew that even if the two old men had declared their engagement, though it was not public, her grandpa was easily jealous.
”I don't care,” Henry hugged her tightly. ”I will steal you from him if he dares to take you away.”
”You…” she whispered. ”I don't understand you.”
”I too… don't understand me… sigh… how could I fall for someone like you?”
She escaped.
That rest of that day she looked everywhere in the Mansion for her white big and fluffy dog. He was playing hide-and-seek, and it was her time to find him.
”Where are you? Fluffy and cute angel? Adorable and almost perfect creature of the world?”
Gandalf snored underneath her bed. He will always hide in the most obvious spots, but she will try to find him in the most amazing places before she grows tired and goes to sleep. However, this time, she seemed to be in great spirits and looked for him for hours.
”Gandalf, my friend, my comrade, I need your fluffiness with me.”
That was a desperate call, however, he didn't have the energy to go up.
”I bought cookies.”
What the hell? She needs him, and he isn't some lazy bun that will leave his friend for a bit of sleep.
He came from beneath the bed and jumped to her bed.
”…”
She shared her love story with him. The moment he found her and fell in love, to the moment he found her again and fell in love again. The many sighs she gave out were a bit less than the number of cookies she ate.
”What should I do?”
Gandalf snorted. It was obvious what she will do in the near future. She had already punished the boy enough, it was time to claim her dominance and act shamelessly. Her silly smile was fascinating to see.

The next day at school, she was dragged to the back of the library and shamelessly kissed. The first kiss of her life was snatched by that boy of emerald eyes.
However, he didn't let him off that easily. The second, the third, and even the fourth first kisses were snatched by her.
”Silly girl,” he smiled when he finally felt her heart matched with him.
