After hearing that Nova and my brother have an arranged marriage, sent me into shock

The girl I want, has to marry my brother in order to get the crown

I mean it's ridiculous.

I lock eyes with my brother who wore a sympathetic expression

before mouthing 'I'm sorry'

My eyes wonder over to Nova, regret and anger painted across her face

Her overwhelming emotions leading her to storm out and I follow suit

Leaving a little after, not wanting to make it obvious that I'm going to see her

I soon find her, in her room with her head buried in her hands as she paces back and forth

Mumbling words of hurt

I l walk in, slowly closing the door behind me before locking it

"Nova," I say, in the sweetest tone I could muster

"Yes?" Nova answered, looking up frantically

" are you okay?" I ask hesitantly, knowing the answer

Worry swimming in her ocean eyes, refusing to release the waves

Instead of words she shakes her head and I pull her into a hug while rubbing her back

" it's going to be fine, love" I say while offering a smile

She gave a weak one back before gently grabbing the side of my face and slowly pulling me into a long passionate kiss

Our lips matched rhythm, our heads turning to get all the perfect angles

not wanting to pull away even though I couldn't breathe

After what seemed like a lifetime, we pulled apart

Her eyes trained on me as if I was prey once she backed up to a respectful distance

" You know Lela, I think you're special." She confessed, a smirk plastered on her brown skin

One of her twist that freed from her ponytail now hung in her face

I smile, " and I think you're gorgeous,"

Our eyes locked onto one another before Nova shared her suggestion
