User blog:FollowTheRabbit/Xerxes Break 2

Xerxes slid out of the ball room, sad and hurt; both emotionaly and physicaly... he was a soft, kind soul despite what some people had thought.

Break walked through the halls, and out onto the balcony. He scanned to garden tables and chairs, the courtyard, and also the balconny itself. He spotted Sharon walking casually out from under the oak tree, her book in hand, and a small smile on her face. Xerxes smiled. He turned to Emily on his shoulder... her smile grew.

" Atmosphere, Atmosphere!!" he called to her. She stopped and loooked up, "Do you still think me Atmosphere?"

Sharon smiled up at him; "Why would I continue to think that about you now that Liam has left us alone?"

Xerxes smiled playfully.

Sharon tossed her head to one side; "Of course, it doesn't make any sense to me why this would even matter to you, Break..."

Xerxes threw his head into the air, laughing hard.

"How could you think this wouldn't matter to me, darling?"

Sharon's smile wavered for a moment when the way Xerxes looked at her changed for a moment.. she stared up at him, wanting so much to say something.. But instead Sharon blushes, and continues walking back inside. Xerxes sighs, knowing he screwed something up. Xerxes gathered himself, and raced back inside, Emily screaming for him to slwo down.

Xerxes caught her in the hallways, grabbing her shoulder; "Wait!"

Sharon turned to face him.

"I-would you like to meet me in the courtyard tonight?Maybe..." Xerxes thinks, but loses his thought when Emily screams at him.

"You ignnorant little clown!! You can't take her out like that, she won't even consider da-" Break covered her mouth, and tapped her head. Emily quieted herself.

Xerxes turned back to Sharon, smiling. "Well?"

Sharon stared at Xerxes Break in awe, and she stumbled over her words several times before uttering an elated yes.

Xerxes said his thanks, and hopped off to his room to prepare himself for tonight....



Xerxes sat on one of the courtyard tables, keeping a close eye out for Shaorn. When he saw her set foot on the cobblestone platform, he stood, and held out his hand for hers. She took it, and her reached it up to his mouth and kissed it softly. Sharon blushed, and smiled.

Xerxes stared into her eyes for a moment, and then let her hand slide away. he held out his arm for her to take it. She wrapped her arm into his, and they began to stroll dow into the garden.

Sharon and Xerxes made small talk for quite awhile, and then he stopped her in the orchid trees... He loked into her eyes, and then pulled her in to embrace her. She oliged, and wrapped her arms around him in return. Xerxes smiled softly, and bent his head down to kiss he top of hers.

Sharon's jaw dropped slightly, and when Xerxes pulled back, she stared at him in amazment, silent on any account. Xerxes smiled wider.

"I wanted you to be happy around a monster like me, and so far you have... I want to thank you for making my life that much better."

Sharon smiled slightly, and nodded. "Of course... you're welcome..."

Xerxes stopped her there; "But.. I've been wondering if.. If maybe..." Xerxes laughed a bit, "If maybe you'd like to be my Juliet of sort?"

Sharon loked at Break, wondering if he was serious. Sharon looked at Xerxes...

"I would love that very much, Xerxes Break... more than anything..."

Xerxes smiled largly, and wrapped himself around her ounce more.. he walked her back to her room, and kissed her cheek good night..

Sharon watched Xerxes depart, and she smiled thinking about how being his Juliet, would be the happiest thing that may have ever happened to her.
