The Heartbreak Prince Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 39: Your here now

He smiled down at me, laughing slightly as his boyish smile made my heart grew warm and fuzzy. Was this really happening? Did he just kiss me? 

His eyes swam deep into mine, slightly caressing my cheek as he did. The light of the lantern flickered in his eyes showing more and more of his dark brown orbs. 

"I'm sorry I've kept you waiting" He said, taking a step backwards to allow me to breath.

I shivered slightly, losing the heat of the contact from his body.

"It's alright, your here now, aren't you?" 

"Yes, for now." 

"Do you actually.... I mean, are you now sure of how you feel??" I asked.

I felt my heart freeze, I know he just gave me the best kiss of my life but now I was afraid he was going to take it all back, that it was a mistake.

He took in a deep breath, closing his eyes. Seeing the freckles of his face bounce off the light.

"I know that I can't stand it, when he was with you. His hands around your waist..." He took a step closer again. "His mouth that was kissing this shoulder..." He pressed me up against the wall again, pushing my braid out of the way as the back of his hand ran up and down my collarbone. "I wanted..... Ugh... I wanted for anything in this world to shove him off you. I wanted it to be me."

My breath hitched as his body once again was against mine, his forehead leaning against mine as we sat in silence, taking in each other's breathing. 

"Do you feel anything for him?" He asked suddenly. 

My heart sank to the bottom, feeling that I had just got struck by ice. 

He searched my eyes for answers as he dived deep into them. I opened my mouth to speak just not knowing how to answer. Ominis was so different from Sebastian, they were such polar opposites. And yet, I was in a way attracted to him. 

"I don't know....."

Sebastian huffed as though he was defeated. 

I panicked feeling as though I was losing him again, so I grabbed the collar of his shirt pulling him to me quickly.

"Please Sebastian.... don't ruin this. You don't know how long I've waited for you to actually... want this."

I felt the soft material of his shirt slide through my fingers, relishing in the feeling of the soft cotton. 

He sighed heavily. Watching as the slight tears were brought to my eyes.

"I won't share you with him, do you understand?" He said possessively.

I nodded my head, feeling a shiver run down my spine. 

"It's always been you Sebastian, I promise but-"

"I get it, he was there when I wasn't." 

I nodded my head to him in understanding. 

He huffed in annoyance as he pulled me into his chest. Hugging me tightly, I wrapped my arms around his waist, taking in his wonderful scent as it calmed me. 

He placed a small kiss on my shoulder, the same place Ominis kissed me not so long ago, sending every fiber of my being on alert as the hairs of my body stood straight up. 

We heard the creek of the door down the hall open as me and Sebastians heads turned to the noise. I saw Poppy's worried face as she rushed towards me. 

Sebastians arms dropped around me, letting me be free of him.

"Thank merlin you're okay Alora, I've been looking everywhere for you! Ominis is looking for you."

I bit my lip in nervousness as I eyed Sebastian. 

"I'll be right there."

Sebastian looked shocked as we listened to Poppys heals click against the floor as she walked away.

"Sebastian... I need to talk to him." I said taking a step closer to him as I looked up at him.

His eyes flickered back in forth in mine, frustration and worryness reflecting in them. I grabbed his warm hands in mine, rubbing my thumb over his large hand.

"Please.... can you trust me?" I asked.

He sighed. "It's others I don't trust."

I smiled up at him, reaching up to stand on my tippy toes as I kissed his warm cheek. Taking him by surprise.

"You have nothing to worry about."

I picked up my wet dress from the floor as I began to walk down the dark hallway of the castle, heading in the direction of the door where Poppy came through. I breathed deeply as my hand reached for the doorknob. 

I hoped I trusted myself to do the right thing. I didn't want to lose him, not again. But... I didn't want to lose Ominis either.
