INNOCENT LOVE(BL)

Chapter 9. CAN'T RESIST HIS TOUCH!

Three days gone and I haven't seen Michael around the palace , just where is he when I need him the most ! He said he'll get me out of this place so why has he disappeared all these days !?

I've been avoiding prince Arthur with all my might, though it's hard to avoid him because all my duties revolve around him.

Right now am walking towards the knight's quarters to check if Michael came today , am praying so hard that am even crying, am helpless.  I could have ran away on my own but that's very impossible because of the guards everywhere.

" You again ? I told you to tell me the problem you have so that I can help you instead of him but you refused." The nosy man who I always meet when I go to look for Michael say the moment he see me again.

"Lucky you.. he's back." He adds making my face shine in happiness.

"Where is h..." my words stuck in my throat when he suddenly come out of one of the doors . I rush to him hugging him , out of the blue the tears pour out of my eyes.

" What's wrong ? " he ask sounding worried.

We walk to a safe distance before I could tell him what's popping.  The rumours have spread in the whole palace that I am trying to seduce the prince and make him fall in love with me , well I don't give a shit about all that , I already have a lot on my plate!

"Madin.."

" It's bad! " I cut him . " I need to leave this place now , you promised to get me out of this place !"

"What happened? The last time I told you I'll get you out of this place you didn't seem like you wanted to leave , is it because of the rumours that are being spread around the palace ?"

" He.. he said.. he has fallen in love with me." I say with much difficulty since I don't know what he'll take it , me talking about love with another man.

" What?!? " He asks , shock evident on his face. " You are joking , right?"

" Why would I joke about something like that? Am not lying! He really did!"

"Okay, how ? Like how comes ? He.. did he.. No tell me you are joking Madin " he says his eyes fixed on me .  "Are you really trying to seduce him like people are saying? Are you now forgetting that you are a man after wearing a dress for a month?!"

" Really now Uncle Micheal? You are the last person I expected to say such a thing to me ,, " I turn around to leave feeling so helpless .

" Wait Madin , look ,, am just shocked okay? With the fact that people have been saying that so I just blurted. Besides I've never heard of him wanting a relationship with his servant, so why now?"

" So you really think am seducing him like people say ?" I ask tears flowing on my cheeks.

" No am sorry , I didn't think before speaking. If this is the case then we need to act without delay Madin , because even if you don't want him and he wants you , it won't make any difference, as long as he is the one who wants you , whether you like it or not he will have you . Tonight.. tonight meet me at the dungeon, do you know where it is ? Behind the main mansion, there are no arrested people at this time so the security there is not tight ! Then I'll see what to do , go there before curfew, I'll..." he suddenly stops, looking towards a certain direction, my eyes follow involuntarily and they meet a guard approaching us .

" You are needed in the presence of his highness ! He wants to see you immediately ." he says looking at me . I hesitate but uncle Michael nodes , he also signals me to remember our plan .

Am so nervous about everything and so scared at the same time.

I walk to his room ready for anything. If he's going to be at it again am gonna ask him to give me some more time to think about it until tomorrow, praying that our plan work so that I run away before tomorrow.

I knock on the door and without a word he open it himself  .

" I know you are worried , scared , angry and all that because of the rumours that were being spread but you don't have to anymore because no one is gonna talk about it anymore! And the person that started them is facing the consequences of his actions now in the dungeon. " he says the moment I step in.

What now ?! There is someone arrested there , what are we gonna do now ?

"Thank you , your highness "

"I've already asked you to stop calling me Maya , why are you still doing it ? Does this mean you are still rejecting me ? I don't know why Maya but I refuse to believe that you don't feel something for me , there must be something else making you reject me like this , tell me , what is it . "

What if I tell him the truth and they end my life , then end of the story , I would gladly die because am tired of life and I have nothing to loose. Since a younger age I've never experienced inner peace , how about dying so maybe I'll be at peace?

I didn't know I was lost in my thoughts until I felt his warm soft palm on my cheek , I've been avoiding this , him being  close to me because for some reason I can't resist his touch , my body refuses to listen to me completely after feeling his touch and it would go for more unconsciously  .

Before I react to move away , he was fast to react , like the first day when all this started he hold me on my back and at the back of my head , but this time not hugging, he just keep me close.

I look him in the eye involuntarily, I don't know if am hallucinating but I think am seeing his eyes watering .

" Tell me you don't feel the same way about me .." he say softly.

I avert my eyes , lowering my head but he raise it back .

" Look at me and say it , I'll let you go ."

Really? He will really let me go when I say that to him now  . Very well , I think the Lord is here to rescue me , all I have to do is look him in the eye and tell him that I don't love him , then he'll let me go .

I gather all my courage and look in his eyes , but surprisingly no matter how much I wanna say it , my lips can't seem to move , it's like I've forgotten those simple words , I find myself lost in his eyes . It cannot be that I really feel the same way , I am a man for heaven's sake!

My eyes close involuntarily when I feel something so soft , moist and warm on my lips , my lips move in synch with that thing unconsciously  , my hands too move unconsciously snaking to his neck and his back when I feel something snake past my half open lips and past my teeth .

I find myself finding it difficult to breathe because my breath is becoming heavier and heavier. Soft sounds leave my mouth as I move closer to him holding him closer , when I couldn't breath anymore I move away unconsciously only for him to pull me back . His eyes closed as he connects his lips with mine , that's when realization hit me,,, Kiss ! We've been kissing!
