head on my knees to face the man from my thoughts. Great. He looked at me for a moment and I felt so vulnerable sitting here next to him with tears in my eyes. That’s not a comforting feeling. I sniffled.
“Anna? Are you okay?” He asked. I shivered from the way he said my name. Dang his sexy accent! But seriously? I hate it when people ask if you’re okay when you’re crying. If you’re crying then no you are not okay!
“No. I’m not okay. I’m half way around the world away from home, and I have no idea when I can go back. I miss my mom and two best friends!” I let a single traitor tear escape, and he wiped it away himself. I flinched because I wasn’t expecting it, and I definitely wasn’t expecting the warmth and tingling sensation.
“Here. Call who you need to call. I ask that you don’t go into specifics. Just say it’s a national issue or something. That you are unharmed, and will be home as soon as you can.” He handed me a cell, and I looked at him gratefully. Oh my gosh is he really going to let me do this?! Without thinking I lunged at him and gave him a hug.
I really shouldn’t have done that. He was a boy and that automatically made me awkward, plus he had just the right amount of muscles. I could feel them against his shirt. I knew that if I said another word I’d make an idiot of myself! With that thought I hopped up and left to go upstairs in my room, leaving Zach behind .
Once I got into my colorful room I dialed my mom, knowing she needed to know first. On the fifth ring she picked up.
“Hello?” She answered, sounding tired .
“Hey mom.” I greeted, sounding equally as tired. She gasped.
“Anna?!You young lady are in so much trouble! I was expecting a call from you hours ago! You had me worried sick! If you think-” I interrupted her .
“Mom! Let me explain. I’m in some trouble.” I sighed. She was silent for a moment.
“How on earth did you get a cow now?” She said exasperated. I laughed humorlessly.
“Mom! Not another cow incident! Although that one was awesome. Mom, I, I can’t come home for a while.” I murmured. She didn’t talk for a second.
“Anna, what do you mean can’t come home for a while? What happened?” I could hear the fear and concern in her voice and it made me tear up a little. I took a deep breath.
“There was some misunderstanding. Something to do with my passport and what not. I’ll be okay. The King and his family are letting me stay at their castle until it sorted all out, which could take up to 3 months.” I explained briefly, trying hard not to lie too much.
“Oh honey! I’m so sorry. You must be scared! I can fly over there you know! Kick some a-” I laughed, interrupting her rant .
“Mom! It’s okay! Yes it sucks that I can’t see you for a while, but at least I’ll be comfortable. And it’ll be a, social and international experience.” I shrugged knowing she can’t see me. She sighed.
“I already miss you Nala. Maybe you can talk to the King and ask if I can visit? I’m sure Danny and Missy would love that as well.” My mom suggested.
“Oh mom! That would be great! I’ll talk to Zach about it!” I smiled. She scoffed.
“Oh? And who is this Zach? For your sake I hope that he’s not this King you were talking about just now.” My mom held warning in her voice. Oh crap! I didn’t mean for that to slip!
“Uh, no, he’s the prince.” I muttered. She squealed .
“Oh! Well that’s more acceptable! Ooo! Is he cute?! Wait! How old is he?! Are you being safe?-” I hung up on her. Wow, that was embarrassing! I dialed Danny’s phone next, and he picked up after a few tries .
“Hello, you’ve reached the World of Warcraft dome where your wildest fantasies are our realities. How can we help you today?” Danny answered. I stifled a laugh. Only he
