Zafira stood quietly in the treehouse. A lot was going on in Blogland but she didn't join in. She needed time to grieve over Javier alone without Niccolo or anyone around her. Why do I like Niccllo? She thought to herself and looked across the lake. So much had happened in time. She had even kissed the poor guy. But something about him attracted her. His manner for a start. The polite way he is just how polite. And how at least he had a semi remorse for what he did, killing Javier. Suddenly Alexis came up beside her.
"Momma! What's up?" She asked. She nestled her head in Zafira's lap.
"Nothing I'm just thinking little one."
"About Niccolo?" Alexis asked. Zafira nodded slightly
"Well do you really like him?"
"Yes I do." Zafira answered. She didnt know where Alexis was going, "What does it matter?"
"Then you need to just be yourself. Gradual." Alexis smirked. She feel asleep. Zafira nodded and smiled. She could do this, Niccolo was just beautiful and yet quiet. She loved him and she would do anything to be with him.
