Touring the mansion was kind of a new experience, I didn’t know why I told Allie I’d show her around when I didn’t know half of this place myself. So I let Lux tell us as much as he knew while I simultaneously tried to pretend I knew what he was talking about.
“That’s the kitchen there,” He pointed and I nodded.
“MM, hm--definitely the kitchen, there are some good times there--”
“Shut up Chii, you have no idea what your talking about!” He fumed at me.
“Well of course I do, that’s a microwave right there!”
“Augh, whatever,” He turned his attention back to Allie. “Moving onto the living room.”
Miffed, I began to walk with my hands behind my head. Lux was a good guy underneath it all, I really enjoyed being around him despite our similar yet clashing personalities. Which made me think about Lupe….
I blushed again, then shook it off quickly. Sure I thought those things, all men did no matter how good you were, but why did I have to say that to her?! What the heck was going through your head, Chii?!
“Oh no--”
I looked up.
Lux quickly dived behind a wall. “She’s back! Get down!” Allie didn’t do anything and I was about to hit the deck myself when I saw her from across the hallway, walking like she had had a terrible day. And it made me feel empty and guilty.
“Cya later, Lux!” I began to bound after her, even though she had disappeared around the corner.
“What are you crazy, she’ll hang you out to dry stupid!”
“Take care of Allie, I’ll be right back!” I yelled quiet enough for Lupe not to hear. “Oh and about that nickname of yours…”
“What the heck are you talking about?”
“Oh~Never mind I’ll figure it out later~!”
I’d left him confused and a bit anxious for my remaining life (which made me laugh) while I sprinted after her, not really sure of the words I’d use to apologize, I ripped off the sign on my chest.
Quickly I caught up, a lump in my stomach rising as I yelled out, “Lupe, sweetheart!” Oh yeah, right word to use Chii. Now your definitely dead.
She turned and halfway glared at me. “What do you want?”
“Lupe--” I’d caught up to her, still not sure what to say. “Lupe…”
“Yes?” She said impatiently. “You know what, never mind I’m just going to--” She was about to leave when unconsciously I grabbed her hand and kept her from leaving. She looked up at me, totally T.O’d
“Lupe you have no idea--I’m so sorry for saying that to you I didn’t know what I was thinking.” She stood silent, thinking or still angry I wasn’t sure. “But I want more than anything to make it up to you!”
“Could you… Let go of me?” She said.
“Oh!” Instantly I let go. “I’m so sorry.” Augh, I wasn’t good at this at all. Now I had more to apologize for.
“Chii I understand your sorry but I’d really just like to go back to my room.”
“I can’t let you do that!” I sounded like a fool. “You see I meant what I said--I’ll do anything to make it up to you! Please darling, anything at all.”
“Chii…” She looked down, and I saw the flush come over her face. Probably still angry I thought dejectedly. But also, when I saw that I felt more and more empty. She was such a beautiful girl.
“Lupe… Do you have a date to the Valentine’s ball?”
Her head shot up. “Excuse me?”
“Lupe, you have no idea how much I hate to see you down. And I would not be surprised if someone has already found your hand,” I laughed nervously. “Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire world were in love with you.”
There was a large silence in which I said quietly, “I have to make it up to you. I’d buy you the prettiest dress, I’d buy you a dozen roses, I’d …” Why was this so much harder than just flirting with a girl?
Again she said nothing.
So I took her hand and laid mine on top of hers. “ If no one else has claimed you, would you please be my Valentine?”
