- Angie! I've missed you... - said Herman when I got to him again another night and hugged me tightly - What have you been doing lately?
- Working and learning - I replied.
- That's good - he smiled - I'm glad to hear that.
- It's extremely tiring... Mostly when...
I paused.
- Mostly when I can't see you...
I wasn't lying.
I feel uneasy when I can't see him and when I know, or can guess he's with other women.
But crap... I can't say that out loud!
He's the sultan after all and since he doesn't actually have a son he has to also focus on making one soon while also focusing on many more issues.
I don't want him to be upset because of me as well...
I don't know if I could even do what he's doing and how he's doing it.
- Angie... What's the matter? - he asked as he placed his hand on my cheek - I can see you're upset over something...
- It's nothing serious - I replied - I'm fine.
- Angie, stop lying...
- I... I'm not lying...
- Yes, you do... And you know I'm not gonna leave you alone with this until you answer me - he said, rather jokingly which made me smile - There, there... I like to see that smile...
- You're the only one that can make me smile...
He smiled at me for some seconds then he gently grabbed my hand and pulled me with him, out to the balcony.
- Herman...
- Come on! - he said as he pulled me to him.
As I looked out my breath was taken away by the view.
- Dear Lord... - I gasped.
You could clearly see the night sky and the sea from the balcony.
Now I understand why does he like to spend time out here whenever he's alone, or has nothing to do.
This is amazing...
- This is beautiful... - I muttered silently.
- Yeah... - I heard him mumbling - But not as beautiful as you are...
This made me turn around and just then I realized he was standing inches away from me.
I was shocked to see that sweet smile on his face and seconds later he leaned closer to me and kissed me softly on the lips.
I was so shocked, but at the same time extremely happy that I returned the kiss...
