*“You can visit me at anytime.”*Alec promised, making Camilla swoon. She wondered what other things the castle had in store-and if it was magical. Then, she paused, looking a bit confused and cross-eyed. “Wait…isn’t it underwater though? Not that that’s bad!! It’s really, really cool!! Much better than a regular castle above water.” “Then so be it.” He smiled at her, and she smiled back, blushing. But all smiles disappeared as Alec fell back, hitting his head on a chair. “Alec!!!” She cried, cradling his head, and trying to settle it onto her thighs (which he said were soft so maybe that would help) “I’m so sorry!!! Are you okay?! Does your head hurt?” Her eyes felt a bit teary as she blinked, looking down worriedly at him.
Was this a contest? He spoke back the word lovely, and a competitive smile formed on her lips. “Beautiful.” She took a random slice of pizza and mimicked him, taking a bite. She kept her hesitant eyes on the boy in front of her, admiring his jawline and shiny, thick, black hair. He swallowed, sighing, cloudiness in his eyes. This made Camilla frown, she didn’t like to see people, especially people she cared about, sad. “Eundr.” He said out loud, as if her mind had willed him to speak the reason he had sighed so sorrowfully. “Who’s Eundr? Or what’s Eundr? Are you alright, Alec?” Camilla asked, scooting closer to him, eyes shimmering curiously.
He nodded, “Of course. If you want me to buy you anything else, just ca-wait, you don’t have my number do you.” He wrote his number on a of paper, and handed it to the smiling girl. “Call me.” He winked and she blushed. “You can count on it!” She promised, carefully putting the slip of paper in a special pocket inside her purse. She didn’t have a lot of contacts in her phone, so she was pretty thrilled about this. “No, no, it’s okay.” Alec said, but Camilla just imitated his smirk again, hand resting on his knee. “What if I told you I’d make it up to you in other ways than money?” She hinted, sounding innocent. He looked amused, propping her chin up with three fingers. She took a breath, and then gave him puppy-dog eyes, watery and all. After a couple moments, she went back to normal, smiling casually. “Works every time. I mean, he loves me, and it’s hard to resist.”
“All the candies and cake you want.” He swore, and it took everything in her not to squeal loudly again. Instead, her excitement showed in every part of her, wide, sparkly eyes, huge, toothy smile, and light bouncing up and down in her body. He kissed the back of her hand, “How about both?” “Works for me!” He released her hand to adjust his jacket, and she fixed her headband. “So, do you have a favorite song?” She thought for a second, “Ugh, I have wayyyyy too many favorites to just pick one!!! ‘Live While We’re Young’ is one of them, I really like One Direction. What about you?” You could tell a lot about a person by their music taste, and someone as cool as Alec couldn’t have bad music taste.
