"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.
"Because I came to see you and I'm not going anywhere until I see you," Was that supposed to be flattery? Why don't I feel flattered then?
"If I say so myself, I think you've seen too much of me," I mumbled and he seemed pleased by my words which only frustrated me further.
"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.
I turned around to look at him but it was too late, feeling a strong grip on my bare waist, I was heaved into the air as he carried me in his arms, pushing us both back against a rock as I gulped back a surprised scream.
"What do you want?" I finally asked the question he'd been patiently waiting to hear and he didn't waste another second to answer, grey eyes glinting with underlying mischief.
"I want you,"

Once Upon A Crown

"Mum! She has a moving animal toy on her shoulder!" 


I figured the young child was talking about me, if not for the moving animal on my shoulder comment then it was probably his finger that was pointing at me. 


"It's a real animal," His mother corrected him as she sent me an apologetic smile for her noisy child. I didn't mind though, he was a cute kid. 


"He's an eagle," I expanded for them and stroked Ryder's head while doing so. The boy's jaw fell open as he gaped at the said eagle. 


"No, he's my friend," The boy giggled at my answer but was cut off when Ryder squawked an angry squawk at him. Jumping, he quickly hid behind his mother and this time it was me that was smiling at her apologetically. 


I wasn't living as an independent person in this city for more than a week and I'm still looking for a job but one thing I've learnt here is that Ryder didn't like children.
