Half the n led
to the garden while the other half of the team followed close behind. I found everything to be over-the-top and very funny. I an, I was just walking to the gardens right outside this mansion. Now that I think about it, Auntie hasn’t given
a tour of the mansion yet because she must have been so busy dealing with my other requests.
I didn’t mind though since I had the ti to draft out so designs for my website.
The garden outside the mansion reminded
of the large garden that I saw before entering the boss’s base. Trees, plants, and flowers were arranged artistically to form a very beautiful landscape. Many flowers were in bloom and the colors added to the splendor of the garden. Just like I had guessed, the weather was perfect for a little stroll.
The n gave
so space, but I could still feel their eyes on . It was quite uncomfortable to be watched like this, but I tried my best to ignore them.
There was a small path that led deeper into the garden that wounded its way to the side of the mansion and I decided to follow it. Flowerpots along with decorative statues in the shapes and designs of forest animals lined both sides of the path. The wind blew against my face, sending my long hair back behind .
I tucked a few loose strands of hair behind my ears before holding down on the skirt of my dress to keep it from blowing too wildly in the wind.
There were many flowers in the garden that I didn’t know but I found them beautiful and calming to look at, nonetheless. A little while later, I found a white bench located under a large tree. It was the perfect place to sit and chill on such a day as this and I thanked whoever had the genius idea to put a bench here. Straying off the path, I approached the long bench and quickly sat down on it.
This is so nice and relaxing. After being cooped up inside the mansion for so long, this was the perfect break that I needed.
…
Sothing is tickling my nose. It feels like I’m about to sneeze. It’s so nice and windy and I felt so sleepy.
Wait…
I opened my eyes in shock at the realization that I must have dozed off. If I rember correctly, I ca into the garden and then I sat down on a bench.
"Oh, you’re up. I was wondering how long you were going to take a nap here," Hayden said teasingly from above.
The view of the tree branches above was quickly covered by Hayden’s face looking down at
from above.
"Hayden?" I called his na questioningly.
When did he get here?
I couldn’t believe that I fell asleep here. Was I that tired or sothing?
"Yes, it’s . Guess your brain isn’t fully awake yet…" Hayden continued to tease
as he smiled down at
from above.
"When did you get here?" I asked.
"A little while now. You were sleeping peacefully so I didn’t want to wake you," Hayden said before sitting up straight.
That was when I realized that my head was resting on his lap. Did he do this? I had to say that his lap felt good as a temporary pillow.
"Welco back. Are you feeling better?" I asked.
Hayden had a shirt on, so I didn’t know if any of the bandages had been removed or was he as wrapped up as before.
"I’m better and it wasn’t that bad to begin with…" Hayden replied with a hint of annoyance.
"Good then. Shall we go back inside? It’s getting very windy…" I suggested as I slowly supported my body up into a sitting position.
"Any progress on your website design?" Hayden asked.
It was just like him not to forget about that. I was glad that I had so progress to show him.
"Yup. I have a few ideas. I’ll show you when we’re back inside," I replied.
I stood up from the bench, but Hayden didn’t do the sa. I turned to face him as I cocked my head to one side slightly in wonder.
"What’s wrong?" I asked.
Without replying to
with words, Hayden held out a hand towards . Is he telling
to take his hand to pull him up?
Still quite confused, I placed my hands into his and he gripped it firmly.
"Am I supposed to pull you up now?" I asked.
"Want to give it a try?" he asked challengingly.
Well, I guess I could…
I pulled on Hayden’s arm with all my strength, but he didn’t move at all. How heavy is he…seriously?!
"You’re so…heavy!" I exclaid as I tried pulling harder.
Hayden just laughed at my struggle. Suddenly, Hayden pulled on my arm, and I found myself falling right on top of him.
"Hayden!" I cried out his na as I bumped into his chest.
Sohow, I landed on his lap, and he had his arm around my waist. Hayden was still laughing like he was truly enjoying himself and my struggle.
"You’re so weak and small…" Hayden said as he petted my hair lovingly.
"Well, compared to you…" I muttered as I glared at him.
His bright blue eyes twinkled in amusent. His touch on my hair was gentle and so was the arm that held
to him around my waist. I smiled at him. I guess Hayden is feeling better now and he’s in a better mood too. Slowly, our face got closer to each other until our lips t in a sweet and tender kiss.
It was getting dark now and a little colder too. The wind blew harder than before. This ti when I invited Hayden back inside, he got up and followed
willingly. We walked hand in hand along the small path through the garden back to the mansion. I thought that I enjoyed my walk here decently enough when I was alone, but the walk felt so much more fulfilling now that I had Hayden by my side.
