Chapter 50: Tears of Rapunzel.
~~~ [START]
Troy rushed toward a building, and although it seemed empty, the noise within it made it nearly impossible to overlook.
"The Matix consists of…"
Troy ignored the announcer who was speaking through the mic, and instead, he turned his eyes to Honey, who glanced at him and quirkily glanced away, failing to hide the small smile playing on her lips.
Troy took a seat in the farthest corner, one which was closest to the door; he didn't want to distract her.
After the announcer finished asking, as though by coincidence, Honey was the one to ring her buzzer.
"2," Honey answered. And after a pause, the crowd started cheering even before the result could blip on the screen.
"Correct!"
Troy just smiled in his seat, and unexpectedly, Honey climbed down, running toward him, only to jump off her feet and climb atop him, kissing him on the neck.
And although some parents shared an embarrassed glance toward them, Troy completely ignored it as he kissed her back.

{ELSEWHERE}
Bella pulled up toward her house, but her heart skipped a beat when she noticed Edward's Volvo parked there, undisturbed, with him leaning on it.
"Edward?" Bella was taken aback.
Edward walked toward her, licking his lips as she walked out. And unexpectedly, right when he got to her, he pulled her in for a kiss.
Bella raised a brow after pulling back; her dad's car was parked close; he was home. "Why—?"
"My family wants to meet you," Edward shot, and one would swear Bella didn't have a heart at that moment; in fact, for a second, even her veins halted their function.
"Wait… are you serious?"
Edward hesitated. "They noticed you spying in the hall."
"Shit—!"
Edward chuckled. "No, don't— they always wanted to meet you; it's just that you being there made them push the date."
"Edward, I don't know."
"Just say yes," Edward said, smiling.
Bella's breath hitched, hesitant. "…Okay."
"Okay, as in what?" Edward joked.
Bella giggled. "Okay, as in yes."

{ELSEWHERE}
Walking out of Troy's truck, Honey couldn't stop blushing in disbelief that Troy had actually opened the door. She wasn't wearing a dress or anything, nor was Troy wearing a suit, but the restaurant they were parked at seemed rather high-class.
After walking in, it seemed Troy didn't even have to speak to the receptionist; he only nodded, and she nodded back.
Pulling a chair back, Honey sat down with no complaint, raising a brow at the waiter, who came with a tray of the tiniest starter she had ever seen.
"Troy," Honey whispered, "you know I don't like these places… Why did you bring me here?"
"Because you hate it," Troy answered bluntly, but after Honey straightened to analyse if he was being serious, he started laughing, something which caused her to do the same. "Yeah, I know, I just always wanted to try this stuff—"
A waiter brought out a bottle of wine with two glasses, slowly cleaning and pouring the wine right in front of them.
After the waiter left, Honey breathed in; the fact that this would happen the entire time they would be there exhausted her to the core.
Troy just chuckled at her expressions. Lifted his glass, and she couldn't help but laugh when she lifted her own. Toasted without a reason, and took a sip.
After the pause of moments.
"This is a date, right?" Honey asked, seeking clarity from the obvious. "So tell me about yourself."
Troy laughed lightly. "You literally know everything about me."
Honey lifted her shoulders. "Yes, but that's the scary stuff, I don't like getting scared."
Troy took another sip from the glass, blinked, and glanced at her.
"Okay, let's do an exchange," Troy said. "You ask a question, and I'll ask a question; we have to answer."
Honey smiled. "Do you love me?"
Troy was stunned by the suddenness of the question. "Well… I don't know, it depends on whether you love me or not." Troy paused. "What about you?"
Honey's smile dropped in half. She was still smiling, but something was lurking behind it. "I also don't know."
"Is it because of—"
"Yes," Honey answered quickly, not wanting to hear her name. Ever since Troy told her about the curse of an imprint, she hoped she and Alice would never meet, and up until this point, everything was going as planned.
Honey stared directly at Troy this time. "What about her… do you love her?"
Troy could see the tears forming at the edges of her eyes.
"Yes," he didn't dare lie to her; he had promised himself he never would. So, he stretched out his arm, holding onto her hand tightly. "Ask me again."
"What?" Honey said, voice lowered, softened.
"Ask if I love you."
Honey blinked, but even then, the tears refuted retreat. As if they were waiting for her words. "Do you love me?"
Troy lifted Honey's hands to his lips, kissing them repeatedly. "Honey, I love you."
And the tears finally fell from her face, rolling down, somehow making her look more stunning.
The waiter beside them cleared his throat; he didn't get paid enough for what he was doing. After taking the platter of starters, he placed two menus in front of them.
"It's my turn,"
And Honey laughed at Troy's words, eyes blinking, still trying her hardest to prevent her tears without ruining the makeup.
"Ask," she said, this time, moving and placing her hands on the table, their pillars suspending and lifting her head.
"Did you like the sex?"
