“I wish I could meet him, you know.” Xenia said with a shy smile, staring at the flowers around them.
“Who?” Stefanos asked gruffly, picking up the flower crown he just made and placing it over Xenias head. 
Xenia rolled her eyes playfully, her scent turning sweeter, as she giggled at Stefanos flower crown. “The owner of the garden of course! I wish I could thank and tell him how grateful I’m for all the flowers he had gifted me.”
“He didn’t gift you those, you basically stole them from his garden Xenia.” Stefanos replied with a grunt and begin walking away, until it hit him about what he just said.
“I never told you I stole them, Adriano.”

Even my heart that's cold like ice will forget if I fall asleep. 


I want to escape from this pain that chains me. 


Someone please wake me up, from my soul that's full of scars~

The first thing that happened in a blink of an eye was Xenia running like her life mattered on it, as she left her cart full of flowers and with a last wide glance; she sprinted off, almost leaving her sandals behind. The kids with whom she was interacting before I came stared at the spot where she once stood. 


I didn’t waste one more second as I too took off running after the flower thief as I could still see the hint of a lilac dress fluttering among the commoners and I tried meddling in between them to get to her. 


Just why was this girl making me feel so complicated?
