Lemon Kissed
The Garden
Quinn’s point of view
“So your parents are really making you marry another girl, do they really hate me that much?” asked Aubrey dreadfully.
“It’s not your fault ok? Don’t blame yourself they’re the bad guys here you understand?”
Aubrey nodded in agreement but couldn’t help but to cry. “I don’t want you to leave though I love you so much.” I looked at her and smiled answering “I love you too...aha” she looked at me funny then realized why I was laughing and started laughing herself.
“Hahaha…look at us!” she exclaims “the first time we have ever said I love you to one another and I’m crying! Hahaha I feel like my mother when she watches a soap opera!” I couldn’t help but laugh at her comment.
“Well saying I love you to a strong hot guy like myself can’t be that easy I imagine!” I bragged with my chest out trying to be manly. She laughs out loud making my heart beat faster by the second. It amazes me how she makes me feel like that. Then I stare into her beautiful brown eyes, I lift my hand moving her hair out of her face saying “and it is no picnic telling a beautiful, intelligent, and hilarious women like yourself either, that I know by experience.” She looks up at me as our eyes met our faces tilted as we slowly got closer. Our lips finally met into a sweet kiss that literally took my breath away. I grabbed her pulling her on top of me as the kiss went deeper. When suddenly an alarm went off and we jerked away from each other obviously embarrassed that we kissed like that in public.
I look at my watch realizing that it’s already 6:00.
“Crap! We have to go its 6 already” I got up then turned to help her up, I bended my knees picking her up as she screamed in surprise. I laugh and give her another kiss than said
“C’mon we got to get you home beautiful”
“Hahaha…lead the way” she smiles.
We were on our way out when we heard crying. “Shh…do you hear that? It sounds like someone crying.” I said as I look at Aubrey.
“Look!” Aubrey whispers. “It’s the girl right there on the bench lets go see what’s wrong.”
“I don’t know…”
“Oh c’mon let’s just check and make sure she’s okay I can’t leave someone crying like that alone in the garden!” cries Aubrey giving me her puppy face. damn that cute puppy face!
I sighed “All right but if she’s crazy we have to run like crazy, hahaha”
“Haw haw haw very funny! Now put me down! Ha” I gently place her back on her feet as we walked towards the girl that was crying. When we got close enough I realized that she was really gorgeous. She had her red hair down and was wearing a…bikini? Why on earth is she? Oh my god I hope she wasn’t raped. It pained me a little to even think of some poor bastard doing a thing like that to such a beautiful innocent girl like herself.
“Hi there are you ok?” Aubrey asked the poor girl.
The girl snuffles she’s obviously hurt and can’t stop crying “I….I ‘m ….f...f...fine, (cries) god I’m s...s...Sorry today is just not my day!” she started sobbing, and Aubrey couldn’t help but to sit next to her and comfort her.
“It’s okay…” Aubrey assured her “nothing can hurt you now…do you want to tell us what happened? Were great listeners?” we waited for her response she took a deep breath, then calmly spoke
“Well... today started out normal. I went for a swim like always and then I heard yelling I went to go see what happened and I find my mother and father fighting” she looked up at us and I guess our expressions gave away what we were thinking. “Nothing physical of course!” she assured us.”Anyways my father’s upset and my mother tells me how she did the most awful thing and that she was sorry she thought me and my boyfriend were eloping and couldn’t deal with that…” she went quiet and sort of stared into space almost as if she was traumatized by her mother’s words. I then sat down next to her put my arm around her and put my free hand on her shoulder comforting her it was obvious she didn’t want to talk about it.
“(sigh) then she said the most awful thing a 16 year old could ever hear from her own mother…then I understood why my father was upset…she….she” tears fell from her eyes as she wiped them away, and continued “she gave my hand in marriage to a complete stranger, she ruined my life I wanted to go to college, and travel around some parts of the world and she marries me off”
“What!” Aubrey and I yelled. I stood up and walked back and forth not sure what to say
“What’s your name?” I asked.
She looked at me as if I was the craziest person in the world then answered “My name is Scarlette. Scarlette Holden.”
My face dropped as I stared at her in shock.

Scarlette’s point of view
My heart raced faster by the second, I didn’t know where I was running to. My legs ached and finally I finally gave in landing on the grass. I was so tired I didn’t care that the grass was dirty (obviously) and itchy. I looked around and saw that I ran all the way to The Garden, which was about 20 miles away from home. I laid back down catching my breath, and then stood back up. I saw a bench not that far and decided to go sit and text Jaden to come pick me up. I looked at the time on my cell and realized it was 6:00 I looked around again and saw that it was dark. Huh funny how I didn’t notice that before.
I sat on the hard bench it didn’t feel safe, it felt like it could break any second but I stayed anyways.
*hey Jaden do you think you can pick me up?*
Hopefully he’s not drinking with the guys again, I started thinking about what happened earlier, my parents fighting…my mom giving my hand in marriage to a complete stranger.
No! Don’t think about it they can’t do that you’re not even old enough to get married, and when you are they can’t control you or what you do. You can run away with Jaden
I couldn’t help but hear a nagging voice it the back of my head, please like you have a choice, they’re going to convince you one way or the other and there’s nothing you can do about it. You may think you have a choice and if you do go along with it...which you will it would have been your choice. But you couldn’t have been so wrong. You’re going to be forced to marry and have children and for all you know the guy could be a really old creep, a young innocent little boy or a jack ass your age either way you’re screwed.
With that in mind I couldn’t help but let everything come out. I cried like I’ve never cried before. My head started to hurt my nose was stuffed and I couldn’t stop. I heard someone coming towards me and thought great...I’m alone in the garden at dark I’m too busy crying that I can’t even see who’s coming towards me I swear I thought I was going to die that night. The footsteps were getting closer and closer I felt my heart stop and my stomach turned until I heard a girl’s voice asking me
“Hi there are you ok?” I wiped away some of my tears and saw a tall brunette with big brown eyes.
I let out a small cry of both relief and pain I wasn’t going to die…not tonight tried not to cry so that I could be by myself but I wasn’t convincing…not even to myself “I….I ‘m ….f...f...fine, (cries) god I’m s...s...Sorry today is just not my day!” I started sobbing; I was embarrassed that they have to see me this way the girl sat next to me and just held me which surprisingly made me feel a little better. It wasn’t until then that I noticed that she was with someone else. He was a tall okay looking guy who by the way had great muscles. He had black hair and deep brown eyes. I looked at the both of them realizing that I was jealous, jealous at the fact that they weren’t forced to be together.
“It’s okay…” the girl assured me “nothing can hurt you now…do you want to tell us what happened? Were great listeners?” I wasn’t quite sure what to tell them but a part of me thought they should know I don’t know why but I did anyways i took a deep breath, then calmly spoke
“Well... today started out normal. I went for a swim like always and then I heard yelling I went to go see what happened and I find my mother and father fighting” I looked up at the both of them and realized that they though my parents were fighting by hitting each other so I reassured them. “Nothing physical of course!” they calmed down a bit as I continued. ”Anyways my father’s upset and my mother tells me how she did the most awful thing and that she was sorry she thought me and my boyfriend were eloping and couldn’t deal with that…” I went quiet reliving that morning my mother’s words “I gave your hand in marriage to Eli and Claudia’s son Quinn" those words were traumatizing those words practically destroyed my life. At that moment I felt an arm around me and a hand on my shoulder. It was the guy that was standing I guess he thought I needed comforting too. His hand was warm and he smelled really good. Even his scent was comforting and I was able to speak again
“(sigh) then she said the most awful thing a 16 year old could ever hear from her own mother…then I understood why my father was upset…she….she” tears fell from my eyes as i wiped them away, and continued “she gave my hand in marriage to a complete stranger, she ruined my life I wanted to go to college, and travel around some parts of the world and she marries me off!” that was when it really hit me (again) my life was over.
“What!” the girl and boy yelled. The guy stood up and walked back and forth not sure what to say
“What’s your name?” he asked.
I looked at me as if he was the craziest person in the world should I give him my name? Why does he need to know? Putting those thoughts behind me, I answered “My name is Scarlette. Scarlette Holden.” His face dropped and stared at me as if I just put a dagger through his heart.
“So your parents are really making you marry another girl, do they really hate me that much?” asked Aubrey dreadfully.
“It’s not your fault ok? Don’t blame yourself they’re the bad guys here you understand?”
Aubrey nodded in agreement but couldn’t help but to cry. “I don’t want you to leave though I love you so much.” I looked at her and smiled answering “I love you too...aha” she looked at me funny then realized why I was laughing and started laughing herself.
“Hahaha…look at us!” she exclaims “the first time we have ever said I love you to one another and I’m crying! Hahaha I feel like my mother when she watches a soap opera!” I couldn’t help but laugh at her comment.
“Well saying I love you to a strong hot guy like myself can’t be that easy I imagine!” I bragged with my chest out trying to be manly. She laughs out loud making my heart beat faster by the second.
