I was still in the tree. I sat at the top of one of the larger branches and watched the sky become darker and small stars start to appear.
Axels carriage still had not left the spot where we had parked many hours before. As the time flew by I became sleepier and my eyes were fighting to stay closed. My legs were spread out on many branches and my head rested in my lap, listening to the sweet sound of silence. It was not the most comfortable position, however it was the best it was going to get. As my eyes started to flutter close and my breathing calmed, I started to feel little raindrops fall onto me and goose bumps emerged from my uncovered arms. At this moment I secretly wished I had not ruined my dress. I much needed that extra material and heat as the rain started to get heavier. I rubbed my hands together to create some sort of friction.
When I had finally given up on getting warm I heard the sound of faint yelling. A person was running in my direction and at a really fast pace.
"Aleena!" They yelled. "Aleena where the fuck are you!"
Then it went silent.
Completely silent.
Until...
"AHHH THERE IS A SPIDER!!!"
"AHHH ITS ON MY FACEEEEEE"
I laughed at the person who was obviously Axel. Who knew he was scared of spiders? That will definitely be used as blackmail in the future
I looked at the forest floor wondering if I could jump down from the tree. Suddenly, Axel emerged from inside of a cluster of bushes covered in small sticks , leaves and mud. I was tempted to burst out laughing but the angered expression on his face shut me up quickly.
"Really Aleena? I spent the whole fucking night searching for you! Then to add to my horrible mood I find you laughing at me in a tree. Start explaining now"
He tried to dust the sticks of his once white shirt and flatten his messy hair.
"well you annoyed me and did not apologise for your idiotic behaviour. I thought if you wanted to disrespect me then you would not mind if I left."
He scoffed and used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat of his forehead. His blue blazer was torn and his white shirt was missing many buttons.
"Aleena ,love, can you get down from that tree so we can leave?" he asked.
"Umm why don't you leave me n the forest while you go to your estate. Then we never have to see each other again. Its a wonderful deal if you ask me." I replied smugly.
He gave me a dirty look then walked forward, pushing himself up on the tree and grabbing my waist. I fell to the floor like a ton of bricks. While he landed elegantly. He smirked down at me. I huffed stood up saying some inaudible words under my breath.
