Princess Protection Program

Chapter 13

I turned off the water wrapping a towel around Indiana and then one around my waist. I ignored her question walking into my bedroom, that question swarming around in my head 'do I love her, my princess that is soon to be wedded to another man?'

That threw me off guard I never thought this thing we had would compromise the job but I think that it's beginning to. As I had briefs on Indiana came stomping into my room. She yelled in anger and embarrassment "I want an answer Dallas!"

I sat on the corner of my bed with a deep sigh "Indiana you can't ask me that, I work for your father this can't be happening."

Indiana crossed her arms, I could see I was just working her up further "I think I need to relocate and give your case to another agent."

Indiana gasped in shock. I could see the tears forming in her eyes "no Dallas you don't have to do that, please don't leave me here with a stranger."

Indiana was now kneeling on the ground in front of me "I don't think I have a choice princess." I claimed.

She placed her hands on my cheeks making me look her in the eyes "I give your orders so right now I am ordering you to stay here with me, protecting me."

I shook my head slowly "it doesn't work like that princess because it isn't your orders I follow I have to act in any way or form that protects you. I am so sorry for acting out of line but you have a prince you are to marry and I...we need to except that."

Indiana wrapped her arms around my abdomen sobbing into my chest "what if I don't want that, I don't want him Dallas. I just want you."

I quickly kissed her forehead "it doesn't matter what we want Indiana, in the real world we don't get what we want!" I yelled making her shrink back onto the floor.

She roughly wiped away the tears standing up on her wobbly legs, she calmly said "if that is what you want Dallas but don't let what happened to influence your decision leave because you want to go not because I repel you."

As I went to correct her she had already run out of the room. How does she not get I was trying to act in her best interest. Me ending it before love was brought it to it would have saved us both a lot of hurt and confusing feelings.

Later on, that night when I was passing her bedroom I could help but overhear her sobbing her heart out to her pillow. I sat outside her bedroom door against the wall listening to her sob and mumble how much she hates me to her pillow. As my eyes were closing I heard her talk into her pillow "why did I have to fall in love with such an oblivious fool?"

Not long after that, I heard the girl I care for cry herself to sleep. Once I was sure she was asleep I snuck into her room. Tucking her into the blankets, kissing her forehead. I whispered, "you and me both."

As I went to walk out of Indiana's room I heard her quietly whisper "please don't leave me tonight."

I slowly nodded my head "okay princess."

As I climbed into bed next to her she asked with sleep still heavy in her voice "why are you always wanting to end this it's already the second time you have don't this. I am now just hoping that you are joking around like last time and I can change your mind."

I kissed her temple "I'm sorry princess I am trying to do what's best."

Indiana slowly nodded her head "be here when I wake up please?"
