SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

angel and devil

"People are always two-sided, they can be the angel for one person and the devil for another."

"Thank you for the wonderful evening", I thank Alex after we've cleaned the kitchen. It's already ten in the evening and William expects me to be ready at eight in the morning for my regular classes with Alani. Sounds like fun. "Thank you for creating some space in your time table for me", Alexander replies charmingly, "Let me walk you back to your room." 

"I'm not sure yet if you should know where to find me at night", I say cheekily and feel something inside of me getting nervous when I flirt with him. I'm not good at flirting. I used to flirt around Riven a lot because it's mixed with some jokes and we know each other so well to not misunderstand one another but Alexander.. 

"You'll see that it's just right to have me by your side", Alexander flirts back and lays his hand around my waist when he's closed the door to the kitchen behind us. Hmm.. okay. He's pretty good at flirting. The look he gives me says it all. I bite my lip shyly. I need to control my own emotions. "I've enjoyed this evening as well", he admits softly, "I'd be glad if we could repeat this anytime soon." 

"Yes, of course. I'm actually planning a trip to the mountains to explore the nature together and-" "I'll drive us there on my motorcycle." So he drives a motorcycle? Okay, hot.. I've been wanting to learn this for years but Saul forbid it until I joined the specialist and needed these skills.. "I used to think of a promotional event when our engagement is officially announced." „Your wording sounds like we're already engaged", Alexander grins at me confident of victory over my emotions. 

"Technically, we are", I admit. "I think this is a good idea but why don't we go for a one-day hike officially next weekend and when we're ready to stay away for the weekend we'll drive to the mountains only the two of us?" I have to admit that this is a great plan so I nod. "Until then, I'd like to go on a second date with you", Alex smiles at me with one side of his lip just raising just a bit. We've arrived in front of my bedroom's door and I stand against it whereas Alexander leans over me with his arm against the door. 

Should I kiss him as a goodbye? I mean, we've already kissed so.. but.. no, I should be open for being around him. "We should talk about a second date tomorrow", I agree politely. "Don't tell me you're a tease, princess." Alex pretends to be shocked making me giggle. "No, I'm usually not. Just a little tired. I need to be concentrated tomorrow morning when Alani is going to tell me how to behave as a princess", I say kind of jokingly. 

"You're doing it just right, princess", Alex whispers as he leans forward as my nervousness overlaps his emotions. The evening was great but would we really fit? Can he make me stop thinking about anyone else? Can I help him to get over a heartbreak? Am I doing anything wrong when I.. no, I'm making the first move now. I kiss him and I kiss him passionately. I don't kiss softly, I crash my lips onto his and pull him closer by laying my hands in his neck. 

He didn't say we should spend a weekend in the mountains together just for nothing. We're not fifteen anymore worrying about kissing a boy. I'm living my life to the fullest now and for once in my life, I'll do whatever I want to do. 

I'll not do what my dad had planned for me or what Saul allows me to do. I also won't listen to William as much. Whatever I do happens behind closed doors for the public. Whatever they need to know, they will. But I will also enjoy my life, even as a leader. "Glad to know how you feel about this, Scar", Alex whispers against my lips roughly, "Have a good night, princess."

Riven's POV:

"Interesting how tables can turn", I comment the scene that's been in front of me right before Scar has left to talk to her new prince. He wouldn't even be near her if it wasn't for his title. "Oh shut up and take your bag", Stephen mumbles at my comment making me grin. Seems like he's easier to provoke than I've expected. 

I'm not planning to provoke him willingly but it's tempting. He used to be this so perfect teacher and specialist in Alfea pretending to such a better option for Scar than me when in reality, he's just the same dick like everyone else. He's emotional and jealous just like me. Let's not forget his interest in competition. 

"Seriously, I'm interested as well", Sky helps me, "What's happened between the two of you that you act like enemies? How do you even know him?" "It doesn't matter, Sky. I just know that he's not good for your sister. That's all you need to know." "I've heard that before but honestly it's just a lame excuse for why you're not making a move on her yourself", I reply shrugging. 

Someone had to say it. I'm not emotionally dumb like people think. I just like to not care about ninety percent of the people around. "God, he's just using her to take revenge on me, okay? I macked on his ex-girlfriend during military school so he's trying to get with Scar." "Wait.. you macked on his ex-girlfriend?" "You macked on someone in general?" 

"God, Riven, I could just smash your head sometimes", he sighs heavily, "Of course, I've macked on someone before. She broke up with him so I took the chance. It's not like she was the love of his life." "No but if I was him.. I'd already have trust issues for being a prince. I already do. People just see this aspect of me and if I settle down with someone, this person usually trusts me and vice versa." 

"It's not like he was lonely for a long time", he groans rolling his eyes, "This was not supposed to be this annoying." "So you stole his girl? You're pretty much a hypocrite", I comment dryly. Who would have thought that he's such a dick? And Sky complained about me.. 

"Isn't it more important that he's getting back at me through Scar? Don't we have a common interest here?" "I mean yes but how would he know about it?", Sky wonders. "We were pretty close, roommates. He kind of knew that I was seeing someone I'm not supposed to. I didn't go out a lot, I drove him many times.. these signs." 

"And suddenly I'm the good guy", I comment this story once more grinning to myself that exactly Stephen admits something to us. I like how tables turn. I just need to make them turn Scar back to me. Stephen's right with one thing: Scar shouldn't marry, especially not someone else.
