I'm In Love With Durin Blood. (A Thorin Oakenshield Romance.)

Chapter 3...

After fireworks I decide to head home because I'm so tired. I watch my feet as I walk down the road, one in front of the other. When I look up I stop in my tracks, my heart jumps up into my throat. I just ran into the dwarf prince. Thorin scowls at me with his arms crossed.

"You might want to watch your footing, Oaf." I feel my face twist at his rude comment.

"Excuse me!? You didn't give me any time to apologize, Dwarf!" He scoffs. "How dare you say something so foul, you don't even know me!" I yell. He narrows his eyes at me.

"Maybe you shouldn't be such a fool, most people look straight ahead when they walk so they won't run into the wrong person!"

"Sorry, Prince Thorin." I roll my eyes and walk around him heading home. I should of know, he's royalty of course he's going to be rude. I've never really been the type to take peoples crap so he can call me an Oaf all he wants. Finally, I open the door and go into my house but when I turn to shut it Thorin jams his foot in between the frame and the door. The door bounces back open causing me to back up. He stands there head cocked to the side staring at me.

"Apology accepted..." He trails off. I clear my throat placing my hands on the table directly behind me.

"Edlyn." I quickly say gripping the table tightly. I see a small smirk pull at his lips.

"Well...Edlyn you shouldn't walk by yourself at night. Like I said you might run into the wrong person." His voice is deep and raspy it makes me shiver.

"Right, Prince-" He cuts me off.

"Thorin." I nod and bite my lip nervously. His eyes are still narrowed at me as he grabs the door. Once it slams shut I let out a breath of air. For some reason I was scared of him and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I watch the door for a minute as my heart beats against my chest. How could someone so important be such a wrench. For some reason my heart is still pounding and I can't get the way he was staring at me out of his mind. So I busy myself by cleaning.

As soon as get don't cleaning Ardy and Milly burst through my door laughing and being extremely loud. My heart jumps into my throat as I grab my chest. Flower petals fall around me from my hair. "Gee you guys! You could of knocked before you came plowing through the door. You better be glad I wasn't holding any china!"

"Sorry Ed, why'd you leave?" Ardy asks.

"Just tired..." I reply turning to them and leaning against the sink. He smiles. "I should take her home she's a bit tipsy."

"A bit?" I laugh and he laughs too. Once they leave I play my harp a little bit waiting up for my father. Once he walks through the door I rush up and throw my arms around him. I've barely seen him all day. I kiss his cheek and he goes off to bed then I rush to the door and lock it, pressing the side of my face to it for a minute. I close my eyes remembering that scowl...why am I thinking about this stubborn dwarf I hardly know? After that I march into my room, shutting the door tightly behind me.
