Forbidden Love

~chapter 9~

Oliver's POV (moment before/during last chapter)

I watched as she walked away from me. I could tell there was something wrong and I wish I could help her but I don't want to force her to talk to me.

I walked off to the side of the ball room a few moments later and stood next to giant doors not wanting to stand in the middle of the ball room with no partner.

I watched as the lords danced with their ladies with smiles on their faces. They all looked so happy together. I want that with someone but I can't see it with Seraphine. I just don't think we could give each other that kind of happiness. Plus she obviously didn't have those types of feelings for me.

I sighed and looked away from the couples when my heart started to ache from jealousy. Why do things have to be so complicated?

"Long night Your Highness?"

I looked over to see who spoke to see one of the guards who was standing by the door. He had blonde hair that was cut short on the sides but a messy mop on the top of his head. His eyes were a gorgeous hazel color that took my breathe away. I continued to scan down his form stopping when I got to the muscles that were noticeable through his uniform.

He was absolutely gorge-

Stop Oliver. You're engaged.

I soon realized that I had been staring for a much too long when I saw him shift slightly on his feet. "Um sorry yes it is a long night." I replied after clearing my throat.

"Don't see anything you like?" He said with a small chuckle.

I blushed at his statement. "What do you mean by that? I do like what I see. You're a very attractive-" I stopped when I realized what I was saying. What is wrong with me. What am I saying ?? "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that I mean it's true but still- I'm just going to be quiet now. I'm not acting very princely." I muttered quietly while looking anywhere but at him.

The man started laughing making me blush even more from embarrassment and gave me a few butterflies in my stomach. "You're fine Your Highness. If this seems too inappropriate please tell me but I find your embarrassment and rambling cute." His comment made me look at him and meet his gaze.

We stayed like this for who knows how long until I finally broke the silence. "W-well I should get going.. I need to look for Seraphine she's been gone for a while now."

"Alright then Your Highness. It was nice talking to you, hopefully we can talk sometimes again."

"Yes.. thank you for keeping me company um.."

"Andrew. My name is Andrew."

"I'm sorry, thank you Andrew for keeping me company. I will make sure we talk again soon."

"Maybe we could do more than just talk next time." He replied with a wink and walked off. What did he mean by that? Not thinking about it anymore I walked off looking for Seraphine.
