Chapter Five

Jennie pulled away from the kiss. "Are you crazy!? We can't kiss! This is extremely unnatural and wrong!" She said as she forcefully pushed the younger away from her. "I'll go tell my father. You'll regret this-" The young princess wanted to open the door, but a hand clenched onto her wrist. She looked back at Rosé, who had the most precious look in her eyes.

"Jennie..." The shoemaker started, but couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. Jennie didn't have the courage to look her in the eyes. "Do you like me?" Rosé finally finished her words after a few seconds of a painful silence. "I... I don't know." Jennie responded, not so sincerely. Rosé cupped the older's cheeks into her hands, making the princese look in her eyes.

"Do you like me, Jennie?" She asked again. The older felt like lying wouldn't help at all, so she decided to tell the truth. "Yes. I do like you." Rosé's eyes widened. Her heart was beating faster than ever, matching Jennie's heart. "Do you want to like me?" Rosé asked, which caught the princess off guard. "Huh?"

"Do you want to like me?" The younger repeated herself. Jennie looked down at her feet. The taller took her hands off Jennie's face. "You don't, do you?" She said disappointed. "Two women being in love is wrong!" Jennie complained. "No, it's not!" The blonde raised her voice a little. "Love shouldn't be limited... Don't you get it?" Rosé's voice got a little softer.

Silence. Pure silence. The two young ladies were looking into each other's eyes. Pain could be read into Rosé's eyes, and confusion in Jennie's. The young princess felt like the time stopped. She didn't know how, or why, but she put her arms around Rosé's waist, pulling the girl closer to her. And before she could say anything, Rosé felt a soft pair of lips pressing onto her own.

She was taken aback by her own action, but Jennie didn't try to pull back from the kiss. It lasted a few minutes. A few minutes where time stopped and nothing felt real. Everything was simply... Different. Once they parted lips, they stared into each other's eyes, seeing the sparkles that both have created for the other.

"I do want to like you." The young princess finally responded to the shoemaker's question. "I want to like you too, Jennie." Rosé smiled, making the older do that as well. They spent a few hours together, before Jennie had to leave, since she didn't want to raise any suspicions. They didn't make it official between them, but they both felt like a new relationship was about to start.

Once Jennie reached the main hallway, she was surrounded by multiple workers, who were asking her questions about how the wedding should be. "White rose petals or pink rose petals?" One asked. "Pink." The princess simply responded. "Ice swan sculpture or ice peacock sculpture?" Another question stopped her. "Swan." The workers around her kept on multiplying, but fortunately for her, she reached her room and managed to escape them.

The minute she closed the door, she took a deep breath, letting out some stress that has been accumulating in her heart. She sat on her bed and thought back on the kisses she shared with Rosé. But what kept her mind occupied was Rosé's body. Her pretty shapes were stuck onto Jennie's mind like a painting.

But her daydreaming didn't last long, since a knock was heard on her door. "You may come in!" She yelled, which resulted into the door opening, revealing her fiancé. "Hello, my dear." He started, which made Jennie feel a little uneasy. "Hi." She said, without looking at him. The young princess felt somehow weird at the idea of cheating on her future husband, but she couldn't say that she doesn't want to get married to him because she found a woman whom she likes. Then there will be a lot of controversy.

"Is everything alright?" Kai asked his fiancé, who was still looking at everything but him. "Oh... Y-yeah! Everything is completely alright. You could say that everything is perfect with you as my soon to be husband." Jennie playfully said, which made Kai feel at ease, since his fiancé was okay. But Jennie wasn't feeling at ease, not even a little, because she was lying. And the young princess hates lies.
