Anamaria

Chapter Ten

Anamaria

Everything is complicated when it comes to love.

The young lady lead me to the lake. "You're lucky, you know?" She said suddenly.

"About what?" I asked, I raised my eyebrows and she rolled her eyes. "Not everyone have a chance with a prince."

I didn't say anything as we arrived at the lake. "Are you okay by yourself? Do you know the way back to the village?" She asked. I nodded and she left. I didn't know the way back but I don't want to stress her. I guess I'll find a way out myself.

I got in the cold water and started to relax. I was about to take my bath robe off but it's too cold in the water. I closed my eyes and imagine what's happening to Anabeth. Is she safe? What did she do? I have many questions going on in my mind.

A warmth break my thought when I felt an muscular arms snake around my waist. I gasp I'm shock as I turn around to see the owner of the arms. Prince Garrett.

"Your highness!" I yelled in shock. The prince smirk at me and pull me against his naked chest. My heart beat fast as I stare at his bare chest.

"Anamaria, you seem nervous." He chuckled. His left arm moved toward the bottom of my leg and he picked me up with one arm securing my waist.

His face moved closer to mine and somehow I didn't back away. His lip was leaning toward mine until our face was centimeters apart. His lip brushed pass my nose, and I find myself closing my eyes.

Nothing happened.

I was disappointed when he pulled away. He released me and apologized, "I'm sorry." He said and shook his head.

I was somewhat disappointed when he released me. He shook his head and apologized, "sorry." He said without looking at me and walked away.

After what happened in the lake, the prince haven't speak to me at all. It was dinner and Teresa told me that they have their own village tradition where everyone gathered as one and have a fest every night. Teresa came to my cabin with a silk gown. She helped me get dress.

"I'll move your stuff to the other cabin," Teresa said. Wait, I actually am going to sleep with the prince?

No way! Not possible. I won't sleep with him. "Teresa, don't. Leave my stuff here. I'm not going to sleep with him."

Teresa frown, "Your highness, you know I can't disobey the crown prince! I don't want to disobey my princess either."

"Teresa," I said her name trying to sound serious. "I am not your princess."

Teresa sigh and continued to pack my stuff. I guess I'll have a long conversation with Prince Garrett tonight.

I followed Teresa into the prince's cabin. Teresa bow at the Prince before entering as I followed her. I glance at the shirtless prince who doesn't seem to be bother showing off his muscle as he button his shirt.

"Anamaria," he spoke as I was about to leave the cabin with Teresa. Teresa curtsy to me and she left me.

I turn to him rolling my eyes, "what do you want?" I asked.

He smirked and look at me, "feisty as always...." I turn to leave but he grabbed my hand.

"Let go," I said, pulling my hand away from him.

He let out a soft chuckle which kinda scared me as he walk toward. I took a step back each step he came forward, until I was leaning against the wall. I can my face heat up and my heart beat loudly. His face was getting closer and by the time our nose touch, I push him away.
