Sincerely, yours (Completed)

Chapter 27

   While waiting for William to receive his letter and show up at my door, everything he told me in the woods replayed in my mind before he gave me the last letter.

   On the way back on Obsidian's back, I forgot what we were talking about and what led us to this conversation but suddenly William became serious and started his big speech.

   "If you decide to stay with me, I promise to make you smile every day with my weird jokes and random kisses. I promise to hold your hand when you need someone to walk with through your storm. I promise to share my food with you, give you good massages and laugh at your stupid jokes. I will listen when you tell me how horrible your day was when I come back from my duty. I promise to hold you in my arms when you feel like your whole world is crashing down. I'll make you see that there are a million reasons why you should stay with me." So many promises I wonder what his father would say if he was here. I'm pretty sure I would be hung already.

   "Why would you say this to me now and give me all these promises when your wedding is next week William? Shouldn't you be making these promises to Jessica? I would never hurt my best friend that way." I wanted to be with him. I wish I listened to everyone around me and chose camp royalty, this is my only regret in life.

   "Because I have decided on you. Don't you get that? You have got the arms I want to be wrapped in. You have got the eyes I want to be lost in. You have got the smile I can never resist. You have got the voice I want to listen to for hours. I decided on you months ago, the first time we met as the only knight girl and black ghost boy," we laughed at our old nicknames. He stopped and turned to look me in the eyes, he was more serious this time. "I want you and only you Olivia. I love you and I don't even care about any of my kingdoms rules. I would break them all just to be with you."

   I didn't know how to tell him my new decision, it would definitely break him but he should know. "William if you told me these exact same words yesterday I would have been the happiest person on earth but this is my best friend we are talking about, she loves you and her dream since childhood was to marry you, I won't take that from her. We should take a break from our relationship until everything would be sorted out."

   He did look hurt but he quickly masked it with an understanding look. "I won't push you but I want you to have this final letter read it tonight, guess I won't be waiting for a response anymore." I took the envelope from him and we rode in silence for the rest of way back to the castle.

   I heard a knock on the door, I went to open it and there was the sweetest person in the entire world leaning on his elbow in the most seductive way.

   "I'm not saying that I think of you constantly, but I can't deny the fact that each time my mind wanders, it always finds some way back to you." Was all he said before I found myself in the air and his mouth on mine. The same words he said the second day we started dating when he came to my room during the night and spend the rest of it in the music room playing the piano.

   "What finally made you change your mind?" he asked with tears pouring from his eyes, at least I'm not the only one crying like a baby.

   "I talked with Jessica and we both explained everything and things got clearer," I think it's time to tell him the bigger problem we all fell into, he's the prince after all and can fix it, I hope he can. "But there's a little mix up, maybe we should call for a meeting and talk about it?" I suggested and found it a good idea, the royalty sessions are finally paying off.

   "Us three? I see no harm in it, let's do it."

   "Well, actually us four. Don't worry, I'll tell them about it. Just meet us there in twenty." I kissed him goodbye and ran to tell them about the news.
