More time

Dilan ignored nix as he entered the car. The silence in the car as they drove off was alerting not because they had suspected an attack but because of the way Dilan looked at the flower in his hand as he held it gently

"You know it would soon die right?"nix broke the silence. Dilan turned over to him and back to the flower,

"I need an hourglass" Dilan ordered nix

"Why me?" he asked but Dilan gave him no reply

"Why is it a pink lily?" Linax asked as he couldn't hold his suspicions

"Well....a lily is all about purity"

"And a pink one represents love, admiration and compassion"

"So I'm guessing this is a pure love" nix added

"Love? who would love Dilan?" Liam said but Dilan didn't react

"I'm guessing a lily" nix chuckled

Betty felt so sad to see her friend leave.

"Ill be waiting for you back home Betty"

"Ill miss you" Betty said as she hugged lily

"Hey hey stop crying you don't want to spoil your face before your date" lily teased her

"Who knows nix might not want to get married Again"

"Lily" Betty pouted

"Haha...don't worry I'm sure he won't let you go no matter how ugly you are"

"You!!!" Betty said shaking her fist.

Lily smiled at her while she waved her parents good bye and they entered the car and zoomed off. Throughout their journey lily noticed that Charles didn't even talk to her or even take a peep at her. When ever she asked him a question in order to start a convo he answered her curtly in a word.

Lily felt that he might had not been happy about what transpired between her and Dilan

"Does he think i like Dilan?"

"Why would he care?" she kept on thinking that she didn't notice when they had landed. Charles bought out his stuff and hers and she entered the car and he took her home.

Once she had gotten in, he turned to leave but he felt someone embrace him from behind. Lily couldn't keep this up she couldn't loose her friend who had changed her. Charles had always been there for her, during her sunny and rainy days he was there. He always made sure that she Was happy and she appreciated it all.

"Charles am sorry" she sobbed

"Please don't leave me"

"I don't want to loose you"

Charles sighed, he didn't like the fact that she was now crying which made him helpless at the moment

He hugged her

"No am sorry"

"For the way i acted towards you",

"I just felt jealous seeing that you liked that man and...."

".....Me?"

"No no i don't i promise"

"But the way you were acting and...",

"I knocked him over so i had to apologize"

"So you don't..."

"No i don't charles" she cut him off and he smiled within himself

"Am sorry i thought you did"

"Why would you think like that?" She asked

"Because i care about you lily and i really love you"

"Charles....i need more time" she said

He nodded

"You have all the time you need my queen"

"I'll wait till your ready" he added and she smiled hugging him

"Growl" ....and they both laughed

"I'll get you some thing to eat" he said as he left to the kitchen while she went upstairs to freshen up
