"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 want you,"

Ryder sat on the red cushioned seat opposite me, pecking at the fabric of the material he was sat on while I focused on calming my erratic heartbeat. 


Hesitantly, I pulled the curtain aside and peaked at the view outside, the grand white palace in the distance becoming larger and larger with every second I spent looking at it. 


"Ryder... What was I thinking?" I squeaked out. 


Almost as if he were telling me to stop panicking, he squawked and I jumped, my hand falling away from the curtain and it fell back in place, covering the view from my eyes. 


"Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever been this nervous before?" I mumbled before waving my thoughts away.
