Me and the Village boy

Chapter 4

As I walked down the marble steps I was over the moon and a little confused that my father had agreed to adopting the baby. However, I didn't think anything off it until... Well I'll get to that later.

Anyway later on my mother showed me the room that Ken would be sleeping in I was a horrible shade of brown (it was the room my nan used to stay in, she was a bit well let's put it this way she would not touch anything that was not brown, to the extent that cook had to dye her food using food colouring.) at least she had had the thought to put a cot in there. " mum, no, he can not stayin here it isn't anywhere near anyone else, what if he wakes up in the night? He'll stay in my room!" I said softly but sternly.

"okay, but only until we can get the box- room next to yours ready. " she said agreeing - ish anyway. I walked out of the room and got Ken, I asked my mum if I could ride down to the village and tell Kit everything about Ken. " yes of course you can umm take the baby chair that sits on the back of the saddle, you know the one I had for your sister. "

" okay is it in your room?" I questioned.

" yes it is I give you permission to go in, your father won't be in there don't worry."

" okay mother,shall I ask Katie to come."

"no it's okay and Eva I agree with you about marrying someone who is not of noble standing, I also agree with your choice and will try to change your Fathers mind however you should know at the moment he is talking about you either marrying a noble or renouncing the crown."

" thank you and mother you know that the decision will be tough but I will always choose love. " I turned and hugged my mother who whispered into my ear that I would be her daughter forever whether I was to be queen or not.

I knocked on the door as loud as possible and shouted histericly "Kit, Kit, open the door please I need you I need you now please Kit open the door" the door swung open as Kit ran out of his home in just a towel.

"I was in the shower Eva ."

" I'm sorry it's just my dad said he would disown me and...." I trailed off as Kit began to come towards me and pull me into a hug and I would have let him but I put my arms out in front of me and said " towel" Kit looked down swore and tied the towel back round his waist, I hadn't realised how muscly he was until then. He walked up to me took me into his arms and said whatever my father did I would have him and if he did disown me we would run away and get jobs and have a normal life, a family. Only then did he realise Ken in the saddle chair shouting his head off "shushhh " I soothed as I tickled his tummy he stopped yelling and began to giggle instead. "how come I don't get a tummy tickle " said Kit smirking

" because you get this" I replied smiling, as I reached up put my hands behind his head and pressed my lips against his, I felt his heart rate get faster and I moved my hand so that it rested over it. " well? "

"I am way luckier than that kid. " he said breathlessly as I reached up to kiss him again. "one day I will be able to kiss you whenever I want and Kit I really think I am going to tell my dad about you... Today... So ...pack a bag. If he does disown me we will get some food and stuff and take jade up to the moors and live

there until he changes his mind and says that we can be together...if he changes his mind that is"

"he won't Eva I mean his best days are over and when he turns sixty he has to give his eldest child the

crown and you have to be eighteen and you are getting pretty close now arn't you whereas if he were to

wait for Katie the country would be without a throne" he soothed as he held me close to his chest.

" okay, thank you "

"for what"

" being you"

"well I try my best" he whispered into my ear. We just hugged for a long time and then I moved my arms up and placed them behind his head reached up and kissed him again a gentle kiss that said everything I wanted to say to him every word, every sentence, everything. I kissed him until he pulled away and swore and when I looked behind me I saw my father.

"father ummmmm I was just ummmm"

" I saw and Eva you are no daughter of mine pack a bag and leave you can live with him since he is who you chose."

" okay" that was all I said okay I wanted to scream at him to tell him he couldn't do that, but I didn't and the truth was I never wanted I never wanted to be queen at all I wanted to be me and now I could. I turned around to face Kit he was shocked " can I stay with you Kit ? the moors was a stupid idea."

" yeah of course you can Eva you ccan stay for as long as you want and my mum likes you so it's fine come inside we'll get your bags later, once you've calmed down come on." we opened the door and I followed him inside this was my new life.
