Forbidden Love

Chapter 4

Elise's Pov

I kneel down and look at the man lying down on the shore "Mom, come here!" I shouted for her to hear.

"Mother!" . "Yes, yes coming!" She shouted back as she walk towards the shore to find the man lying down "oh dear, what happened?" Mom said.

"I don't know, I just found him like this. Is he dead?" I said while looking at the man. "Well, go and kiss him." Mom replied.

I look at her with wide eyes "what are you ta-" . Mom interrupted me "oh, i mean put your lips on him, make sure he's breathing."

"Mom, no way i don't want to" I said while crossing my arms. "Come on, do it." . "But mom-." Mother looked at me and glare me slightly "now"

I looked at the man and I take a deep breath, leaning into him and before my lips touch with his.

The man began to breathe, and water from his mouth came out infront of my face. I screamed loudly and stand up quickly from the sand.

Mom quickly pulled me behind her, while I wipe my face with my shirt.

I take a deep breath, controlling my little anger "I can't believe I almost let my lips touch hi-" I stopped my sentence as I look at the man still laying on the shore.

His dark messy wet hair, his ocean eyes who look tired and a few seconds of looking at him, he suddenly closes his eyes and fell his head back, his chest going up and down.

I clenched my shirt and walked towards him, but mom stopped me "what are you doing?" . "Helping him, oh and I decided i'll bring him to our house".

"What? But he's a stranger, who knows he might be a Pirate or a evil wizard." I sighed and looked at mom "if we get to know him, we'll not think of that. Come on let's help him."

Mother sighed and carries his 2 feet while I carry his arm side, I groan "oh, goodness. he's too heavy."

"We'll continue to help him or what?" Mother said. I nodded and continue to carry him, well who knows it'll make me lose a little weight.

Humming a tune as I wipe his wet arms and hair then suddenly the man woke up and grabbed my wrist, making me dropped the towel.

I Flinched slightly, I looked at the man "I'm sorry if I disturbed your sleep, but I found you on the shore hours ago and I decided to bring you to my home." I said.

The man looked at me with his ocean eyes that I almost lost in it but I snapped out as he spoke "where am I?".

"You're in the misty oak Island, though I dont know which part is it north, east, west or south" I replied while I placed the towel in my lap.

I looked at the man, he seemed a little uncomfortable, I quickly stand up and looked at him "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, My name is Elise and you are?"

The man looked at me and replied "I'm Prin-.. Arthur" . I nodded my head and looked at him "Arthur, what a unique name" I said while I thought 'Arthur is a unique name'

I didn't realize I keep looking at Arthur, I snapped out of my thoughts and said "I hope you are too comfortable to open up but what happened to you, how did you came here?".

He looked at me and replied "That's none of your business" he said while he starts to stand up, making him groan in pain.

Okay mister rude.. "don't move, it'll make your wound open. I covered it up" I replied, trying to control the words coming out from my mind.

Arthur stopped moving and lay back down, I looked at him and tries to make a conversation "I h-".

My words were cutted off as Arthur interrupted me "don't think of making conversation, woman i want to be alone now get out of my sight"

I suddenly gasped at his rudeness, Arthur heard me as he looked at me with his ocean eyes.

I clenched my fist and keeps a forced smile, nodding at him "As you wish." I turned around and leave the room, closing the door behind me.

My mouth flew open for me to yell, I shout and shout without words coming out of my mouth. While my mother in the other side looking at me weirdly.

"You okay there, child?" Mom said. I quickly lean my head in the wall and tilts head, smiling awkwardly. "Nothing, just excited we've got a guest who is so kind". I nodded and smiling while saying it.

Mom shakes her head and continues to hang all the wet clothes.
