Me and the Sultan, who finally told me his name was Herman, had a lovely dinner together and all we did was to talk.
I've told him about what happened with me so far and what they have told me to do once when I'm here with him which he responded to with:
- I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to - he said softly - I wanted to meet you for a reason... I wanted to meet you because your beauty and kindness caught my attention.
- Kindness?
- Yes - he nodded - I saw you talk to Mustafa the other day...
- Oh! - I gasped - Uh... Can I ask you something?
- Go ahead.
- Who's he for you?
- He's my brother. Well... Half brother to be exact - he smiled.
- I see... He's really adorable though...
- He is... Just as his older brother! - he said jokingly, causing me to laugh out - What?! Don't you agree with what I just said?
- Maybe not! - I replied jokingly.
- Well, that's too bad! Sooner, or later I'm going to show you how right I am! Just wait!
- Okay! I'll be waiting for you to show me that!! - I laughed.
- Now come here! - he said as he stood up and came to me and suddenly pulled me into a tight hug which literally made both of us to fall back right into the bed.
- Ah! Herman! - I laughed - What are you doing to me?!
- I'm hugging you, of course! What is it look like, hm?
- Well, I don't know to be honest!
- Now how about you stop questioning my actions and continue to talk to me??
- Sounds good, but how about you let me go first?!
- How about I'm not going to? - he smirked.
- Well, if that's what the sultan wants...
- Yes, that's what I want.
So that's how it happened.
Nothing more than this hug have happened between us that evening and soon we simply fell asleep together.
----- TIME SKIP -----
The next morning I woke up and I was surprised to feel Herman's arms around me.
He was hugging me even in our sleep...
He's so cute...
As mad as I was at him before... For taking me away from my family...
Now I feel like I want to get to know him even more...
But should I?
Is this a good idea?
I don't have any power here and anyone can send me out of here... Send me away from him.
Maybe I should work on that and make sure I can get home...
But then what if it's better for me to stay here?
