“What in the world is so funny about that Jesse? YOU told me yourself you did not like me. So, excuse me in thinking that meant you didn’t like me.”
Even though Alice was frustrated that he wouldn’t take her seriously, there was still something inside of her that was happy that he was laughing. She was afraid that he was going to list a whole bunch of things he didn’t like about her, and the more Jesse was laughing the more the redness in her cheeks became prominent.
“Alice, Alice, Alice. Of course I like you. If I didn’t like you would I spend the nights guarding the castle, I don’t do it for money. I do it so we can spend more time together. That’s why I came with you, so we can be together.”
Alice had always dreamt of Jesse telling this to her but she had never had imagined that it would actually, she always thought of it as just a dream, a wish. And know that it had actually happened, she was crying.
“Alice, are you okay? Why are you crying? If it is because you don’t like me I’ll understand…” No, no he wouldn’t. “ We will just be friends if that’s what you want.”
Jesse was expecting her to say “ Jesse, I only like you as a brother…” but most of the time when he thought about what Alice would do or say he would usually be wrong, and this was another one of those times. All of a sudden Alice was laughing, she went into full hysterias, she started crying even more but this time it wasn’t because she was happy it was because she was laughing so much.
“What a ridiculous concept! Me, only want to be friends with Jesse. HAHAHAHA!! That would defiantly be on top of my things I DON’T want to do list!” Alice thought.
“Jesse…. trust me… I do not…. want to be… just friends… with… you.”
“You Don’t?”
By this time Alice wasn’t laughing anymore she was right in front of Jesse, looking into his gorgeous caramel eyes.
“Nothing would make me happier then being with you.”
Jesse looked back at her chocolate eyes, playing with her shoulder – length brown curly hair, and even though he knew Alice wouldn’t lie to him, he knew that there was one thing that would make her happier, and he was going to get her that. He was going to find her mom, but she had to go home first. The king will be looking for her and if he finds out he was with her looking for her mom, he will loose his job and Alice.
“Alice, we’re going back home. If we take the motorcycle we will be home in the matter of hours. Alice, you’ve got to realize it’ over, we’ve looked for her. You have to move on. “
“You’re right. Let’s go home.”
