INNOCENT LOVE(BL)

Chapter 7. WARM EMBRACE.

After so much struggle  I  get to the strong metal door of his room to inform him that the evening meal is ready , the guard gets out of my way , I knock but he doesn't answer . I was informed that they came back some minutes ago so he's probably in here, but why isn't he responding ?

I knock again but still no answer.

" Is he in ?" I ask the guard that always stand on his door like a statue . But Ofcourse he exchanges shifts with the others .

He nodes without saying a word .

If he's in then why isn't he responding? I debate whether to go in or not , this don't feel right.

I decide once and for all to open the door and enter , he is standing near the window staring outside  towards the field where I've been all this time, hands behind his back .

" Your highness, evening meal is ready." I don't know his mood right now so I decide to be respectful, we might always joke around but when he's mad I alway have to pick my words. He doesn't respond again in any way. As if he hasn't heard me.

" Your highness th..." he cut me.

" Since when are you so close to those people ? " he asks with the tone that I've never heard from him . And it's not anything near happiness .

I've been fooling around with those knights  in the field after the training  , running around and trying to fight with them with the swords as they train me  .

It really made me feel happy , free and at the right place . Micheal told me to do what I want but careful not to expose myself , saying that this is the first time he has ever  seen me genuinely happy .

...I don't answer anything to the prince which was a very bad idea .

" Didn't you hear me ? " he turn around looking at me with the expression I can't really understand.

I really don't understand prince Arthur at all , we joke and talk casually most of the time and the next minute he's consumed with seriousness . And the most weird part that make me wonder if am going crazy and imagining things is that ,, it's like he gets jealous when I talk to people around the palace.

I can't help my brain thinking otherwise , if he don't change his behaviour I might find myself sunk in wrong ideas which are wrong for me to think that way .

" Evening.. evening meal is rea..."

He cuts me . " Are you assuming my question?"

" Am not close to them , I was bored so I thought I could join their training. What ? Am I not allowed?"

" I just left for some few hours and you are already familiar men throwing yourself at them!?" He says angering me.

" Throwing myself at men? I ju.. Forget it. " I say turning around to leave but he holds my arm .

" Who do you think you are walking out on?"

" Is there anything you want me to do for you?"

" Respect,, respect me like everyone else respect me . If you think you are going to do whatever you feel like in this palace then you are so wrong.  Am the one who hired you in this palace and that means everything you do revolves around this room!"

" Okay " I say simply .

He become quiet for some time while my head hung low ,, impatiently waiting for him to give me permission to leave. The fact that he is yelling at me for nothing and even dared to say I was throwing myself at men really make me broken and sad at the same time.

Suddenly I find myself in his embrace, his arms strongly rapped around my small body.

My heart start drumming. I try to push him but my effort has no effect on him because of how strong he is .
After so much struggle.. Slowly my body gives in to the embrace.

" Am sorry , I didn't mean to say that to you . " he says softly .

" It's okay , am fine , can you.. now let.. go of me " I say not sure if I Really want him to let go .

" Am really jealous and when am jealous I find myself  talking nonsense. " he says making me even more nervous. I don't understand what he's referring to .

" Jealous of what?" I ask even when my brain keep telling me that  'no , you don't wanna hear it . '

" Do you believe in love at first sight?" He ask still rapping his arms around me , my head is on his chest and I could feel his heart drumming too . My brain has now stopped working, maybe because It really doesn't know what to think. I have nothing to say so I don't answer anything to his question.

I feel his one hand on my back and the other at the back of my head , he slowly pull me making me lie on his hard broad chest completely , my hands are hanging on the sides .

Warmth fill every inch of my body , I feel my body relax involuntarily, my eye lids closing involuntarily , my hands move unconsciously rapping his waist .

His chin on top of my head .

Suddenly someone knock on the door, I jolt as if I've just dropped from another planet , I try to move away from him but he holds me even tighter , 'what if the person is from the royal family and won't wait for permission to enter and find us like this?'

"Your highness, the meal is ready ." The person says after maybe waiting for a while without an answer.

" Am coming  . " he responds.

Even after saying that and the person go away I still struggle out of his arms , am back to my senses and no matter how my body want to disrespect me I won't give it that chance .

" Let me hold you more , just for a little bit more, please.. " he says softly . But I can't stay still anymore, this is wrong , so wrong .

" It's so wrong " I say unconsciously.
