"I wasn't doing anything!" The old woman exclaimed with a bright smile on her face. Callis returned the smile, "sure you weren't. Can I get a refill on these?" Tedros took the glasses and filled them up with their respective wines. Agatha just stared in slight wonder at her mother. All her life she had never seen her mother with anyone. She never saw one of her mother's boyfriends, if she had any, or friends for that matter. Callis always seemed to be caught up in studying or spending time with Agatha, when she wasn't performing surgery that is. Quality time with a surgeon for a parent was a rare treat for most, but not Agatha. Agatha had spent most of her childhood with her mother. She would go to the hospital with her mom but even outside the pristine white walls of the surgical floor, Callis always found time for Agatha. Agatha smiled fondly at the way the ladies chatted. The chatter was interrupted when Guinevere stepped into the kitchen.
"What are you all doing in here? The party is out there, now go!" Guinevere pushed everyone out of the kitchen and into the living room. Agatha made her way behind her mom. She was stepping through the doorway when she felt her heel getting caught on the doorframe. It was too late, Agatha could feel herself heading for the floor. She braced for impact, but that never came.

Oh my fucking god! I'm holding her in my arms. I'm gonna have a heart attack. Agatha was in my arms. I had caught her before she had fallen. It wasn't on purpose, truly. My fast reflexes were because of all the years of playing sports. I hadn't used much of my skills from football in years but man am I thankful for it now. It felt like years passed as we were just staring into each other's eyes. I could see her cheeks turning a light pink, which in turn triggered my own face to start heating up. I eventually broke out of my trance and helped her up from the dip position that she was in.
"Thank you,"
"No problem," Agatha was about to walk away when I mustered the confidence to do something I couldn't do 10 years ago.
"Would you like to dance?" I stuck my hand out to her and she smiled and took it. It was a slow song which I didn't recognize. It didn't really matter though. I was with Agatha and my heart was happy. We danced to a few oldies I recognized from car rides with my mom. We were about 3 songs in when my mom cut the music. I was upset, not gonna lie. I finally had a moment with Agatha and she cut it short.
"Can I have everybody's attention?" There was shuffling for a bit before she had everyone looking at her.
"I would like to invite my son Tedros to come and sing us a song, if he would like?" His mom held up my old black guitar. All eyes were on me. I couldn't say no. I smiled and walked up next to my mom. I strummed the strings slightly to test it. It still sounded beautiful. I strummed the notes until a song came into my mind.

Tedros began to strum the song. I fell into the sweet melody of the rythem. Slowly but surely I recognized the song.
"Wise men say, only fools rush in," Tedros began singing the lyrics, his gaze searching for mine and landing upon it
"But I--- can't help, falling in love, with, you-----" he held my gaze, his eyes holding so much passion behind them
"Shall I stay?' 
"Would it be a sin?"
"If I can't help, falling in love with you," I felt the room around me melt away into nothingness. And it felt as if it were just the two of us, chocolate brown eyes staring into baby blue ones
"Like a river flows,"
"Surely to the sea,"
"Darling so it goes,"
"Some things,
"are meant to be," I really hope this was meant to be
"Take my hand,"
"Take my whole, life, too," 
"For I can't help falling in love with you," my heart was racing. He sang with so much passion in his words. Could he still like me?
"Oh I can't help, falling in love, with you" he sang the final note and I knew I was smitten for this man. The crowd burst out in applause but I didn't. I couldn't. My heart was racing with possibilities. He thanked the people and began to make his way through the crowd. He was coming straight for me. Oh god he's coming towards me! I began looking around for an escape route. If he talked to me right now I'm sure I would expose all my hidden feelings. My eyes landed upon the bathroom door. Jackpot! I hurriedly made my way to the restroom hoping to escape my feelings. The door was just steps away. I was so close to victory I could taste it. Just I was going to grab out for the handle a man swooped into the slightly open door and close it shut. Fuck! I turned back to look for Tedros and fuck! he was still coming my way. I need an escape. Yes I understand it's over dramatic at this point but I don't care.
"Did you need to use the restroom?"
My eyes landed upon Guinevere.
"Um, yes"
"Follow me then" she motioned for me to follow her and headed over to the stairs. I followed her up the flight of stairs and into the hallway. She led me to a room at the end of the narrow hallway. She turned the door knob and pushed open the dark room. She turned on the lights and motioned to a door on the side of the room. I thanked her and entered the dark bathroom. This woman is my savior I turned on the lights and stared at my reflection. There was a slight pink tint to my cheeks. I took a few deep breaths and splashed my face with cold water hoping the color in my face would die down. Luckily, it did. I took a finally deep breath before heading out to the hallway. I opened the door and stepped out. For the first time that night I took note of my surroundings. The window to the right of me looked familiar. Why? I stepped towards it and looked out. Fuck I was in Tedros' room. That view of the window led straight to my old room. I felt we if I was going to pass out. This was a bit overwhelming. I was going to leave the room alone but as I made my way out something caught my eye. In the corner of the room, on the top shelf of a bookshelf, was a crown. (A/N I'm bored of 1st person pov so we finna switch it up) Agatha gently picked up the crown. She felt a surge of emotion as she held the memorabilia in her hands. She set the crown gently back in its place. She walked around the room slowly taking in everything. The panic she felt soon settled down. Maybe it wasn't just her. I mean Tedros hadn't removed any trace of her. Maybe this was too picture perfect but she wouldn't be opposed to giving this life another shot. Maybe she could work something out with him. Maybe the two were actually meant to be...

(The continuation) 😉 I'm totally not finishing it there.

Tedros needed a breather. Agatha disappeared after he sang his song. Maybe it was too soon?Maybe he should have waited? He had kind of told her he loved her subconsciously. Did she figure it out? Oh god what if she doesn't like him? What if he read the signs wrong? Fuck. He headed up to the closest sanctuary he could find. His room. He thanked the people he was talking to and bounded up the stairs. He was about to enter the room when he saw the door was slightly ajar. He peeked through the crack before thinking of pushing the door open. Through the crack he spotted someone on his bed. It was Agatha. She was seated on his old football sheets looking at an old picture of them. She was smiling softly and had a tear streaking down her cheek. She was beautiful. She wiped her cheek and stood up. She placed the picture back on his desk and made her way towards the door. Shit he took a few steps back before pushing the door open as if he hadn't known she was in there. He stepped through the door and bumped into her.

"Ow!"
"I'm so sorry Agatha. I didn't know anyone was here"
"It's ok. I was just using the restroom."
"Oh me too"
"Cool"
"Yeah"
"Um anyways im going to head downstairs. I'll see you there"
"Save me a dance" Tedros smiled that gorgeous smile of his.
"I will" Agatha smiled back and Tedros almost melted right on the spot. God she was magnificent. She left the room and Tedros couldn't help but fall back on his bed. He was a weak, weak man. He didn't actually have to use the restroom so he wasted time by scrolling through Twitter. Suddenly he came upon a tweet that made him go red with anger.
"The wedding of the year CANCELED
Future Mr.Woods, Gabriel Harper, discoverer to be a cheater. He was seen out and about with a girl, now discovered to be one of Agatha Woods' one models. According to inside sources, Agatha no longer has her engagement ring. More on the situation later, it's not gossip, it's facts."
That motherfucker!
He cheated on Agatha and now he's going public with it. Tedros had had enough. She deserved better. He could be better.
~
Agatha was chatting with some of her mom's coworkers when Tedros stepped down the stairs. She tried not to stare but it was hard when he looked that hot. He walked over to her,
"Can we talk?" He whispered in her hear
"About what?"
"It'd be better in private" Agatha nodded.
Her heart raced when he grabbed her by the hand and led her through the hall. She was pretty sure he could feel her beating pulse. They stepped out the back door and into his backyard. He led her to the porch swing and they sat down.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Agatha was nervous. Was he going to say he didn't have feelings for her.
"I um, I- I like you"
"Thanks?"
"I mean like I like you." Agatha's heart skipped a beat.
Agatha I still have feelings for you. Hell, they never went away. I get this may be a bad time because of everything you've just gone through but just being in your presence makes me so happy. You make me happy. I love you Agatha Woods. I get that I ruined this in the past but I'm older now and I know for a fact that you are the love of my life. Although, I would understand if I'm not yours. I just had to let you know. I can't hold it in any longer." Tedros had been looking at the bench the whole speech as a way to delay the news but now, as his gaze lifted to meet Agatha's, he felt everything all over again. That feeling of love only she made him feel. Agatha opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. She reached her hand out to stroke his cheek. A tear slowly streamed down her cheek. She pulled him in and kissed him long and hard. It had been 10 years since they last kissed and it had felt exactly like that. All the pent of passion exploded and Agatha was overwhelmed with emotion. The kiss felt as if fireworks were going off in her heart. It had felt just like the first time they kissed in Tedros' car all those years ago.
"Tedros, I love you too. I guess I never stopped loving you either. I tried my hardest to move on and forget you and the pain but all I could remember was the pleasure. Im not to sure about how this will end but I really don't fucking care. All I want to do right now is love you." Tedros pulled Agatha in another kiss.
"I swear I will never let you go for as long as I live" Tedros wrapped his arms around Agatha pulled her into his chest.
"Don't be so dramatic." Agatha smacked the arm that was holding her in. Tedros laughed before upping up the antics.
"I, Tedros Pendragon, vow to never let the princess in my arms out of my grasp, and to hold and protect her so long as we both shall live. Better?"
Agatha rolled her eyes, "so much better,"
"Why thank you," Tedros managed to bow as best as he could while never letting Agatha slip away from him. Agatha laughed and pulled him in for another kiss. Tedros may have been being overdramatic about it but Agatha really hoped he would keep his promise. She never wanted to leave his arms. Although he caused her pain, he was probably the greatest source of happiness in her life, other than her career of course, this is 2029 for god's sake. The rest of the party was a blur for both. After the third kiss they decided to head in. They didn't want to spill the news just yet, nothing was official. They entered the house at staggered  arrivals. Agatha entered first, Tedros waited a few minutes before following after. They were fairly confident that no one was the wiser. Unfortunately for them, two people had seen them, two very happy people who were very proud of how their planned turned out. Callis and Guinevere gave each other a secret high five, congratulating one another on their small but very important victory.
