Geoff and Autumn[]
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess Autumn appeared on the beach and pocketed her new leaping crystal. She began to jog along the shoreline when she saw a familiar face. It looked like a certain boy who hasn’t left her thoughts in days. He was occupying her mind constantly. “Hey, Geoffrey!” She’s called, running toward him. “Hi.”
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She giggled at his adorable enthusiasm. “What’s up? What brings you do this lovely beach at this time?”
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She shrugged. "I thought I'd try to get some excersize in. So what's on your mind?" she asked him, genuinly concerned.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She looked at him and frowned. She could tell something was bothering him. "Is everything okay, Geoff?"
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She raised an eyebrow. Something was definetly up with him. "What's wrong?" she asked softly. "Is everything okay at home," she asked him, realizing she knew nothing about his home life.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She placed a hand on his shoulder. "Geoff," she said in the same soft voice as before, "tell me what's bothering you. It'll help to get it all out, I promise." She was thinking about that day by the hills, when everything about her just spilled out of her lips. That night she went home with a weight lifted off her back.

Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess "The past is more important than people give it credit for," she told him. "Now tell me what's on your mind." She hoped she didn't sound too pushy, but she just wanted to see his smiley face again instead of this sad one.

Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She covered her mouth with her palm. "Oh, Geoff... I'm so sorry." she pulled him into a hug, whispering into his ear, "Everything will get better, I promise."
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She held him tightly, hoping he knew she would be there for him no matter what.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess "Feeling better?" she whispered.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She smiled. "Anytime." And she meant it.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess Her heart melted at his smile and they warched the sunset tigether.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She absentmodedly leaned her head on his shoulder, hoping he didn't think she was weird. But from the look on his face, se didn't think that was the case.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess Autumn smiled contentedly. She wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She conteplated telling him about how she felt about him. But how could she? What would he say? And would he think she was weird? Stupid? Or would he just laugh. No. He can't possibly tell him. At least not yet anyway.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She bolted upright from her position on Geoff's shoulder, and turned tomato red. "I was- uh, It's just... I was just thinking about how pretty the sunset is tonight." Argh, why was she so bad at this? She stood rigid next to him, afraid to make things akward. Unfortunately, she could tell that it was too late for that.

|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She reddened, for reasons that even she didn't understand. "Thanks," she said. "But you're even more awesome."
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess "Fine, so if I'm more awesome, you're the most amazing!" She said, laughing a bit.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She poked him in the shoulder. "Except for you."
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She grinned and started prancing around Geoff playfully. "I am the queen of amazingness! I am the queen of amazingness!"
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess Using her finger as a sceptor, she tapped Geoff on each shoulder. "I now proclaim you the knight of awesome amazingness."
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She giggled at Geoff's playfulness.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She frowned at the faraway look in his eyes. “Is everything okay,” she asked, concerned. “You look a bit... distant. Is there anything else on your mind? Like besides everything going on with your dad?
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess “Who?” She asked, genuinely curious. She hopefully she didn’t sound like nosy body.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She nodded and turned towards the sun, which was almost out of the sky. “Beautiful, isn’t it?” She murmured. “I love watching sunsets.”
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess “Agreed. Especially when you’re watching it with someone special.”
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess She reddened too, then told Geoff, "If I could, I would treasure this moment forver, and go back to it whenever I wish. I wouldnt want to be anywhere but here, with anyone else but you." There, she'd said it. Finally. Her crush was out in the open.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess Her brow furrowed in dissapointment. It turns out Geoff didn't like her after all. Wouldnt he have said so if he did? "Oh. Okay."
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess Autumn had to bite her lip to keep from squealing. He liked her. He actually liked her! "I... I like you too," she finally told him. "I really really like you. Every moment I'm with you makes me smile. Those are moments I treasure."
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess "Geoff, I've liked you since that day when my dad lost the court case. No one has ever been able to comfort me like that. And I haven't stopped thinking about you since," Autumn admitted.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess With a small smile on her lips, Autumn closer her eyes and closed the last bit of space between them.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess They stayed like that for a while, until Autumn reluctantly pulled away for air. She shot Geoff a small smile and blushed.
|
|
Autumn Palmer
▹ The Good Child ☘︎ Poor Princess "So..." She finally said, still blushing. "Now what?"
