Not Everything Ends Well |53|

Jasmine
[Day 57]

It was so damn hot! Why was I sweating so much? I tried to push the sheets off me to let the cool air rush my skin but for some reason, the sheets just wouldn't budge. So I pushed with all the strength I could muster, my eyes still closed and my irritation hitting an all time high when once again, the sheets held fast. I was going to try again when a deep voice chastised, it's French lilt groggy from sleep.

King Laurent: "Stop pushing me Jasmine, I'm trying to sleep.", he growled and my body went completely still, slowly opening my eyes. King Laurent's chocolate hued irises stared right back down at me with a glossed over haze in their depths. I couldn't stop the hot blush that reddened my cheeks and then the raging hot blaze of anger that rose through me.

Jasmine: "Why are you in my bed? And why are you holding me? I'm hot damnit!", I was more pissed at being so overly hot than I was at him him being in the bed. King Laurent yawned and just tightened his hold, this urge for a cool shower overtook all my senses.

King Laurent: "I already told you that I can't sleep unless I'm in this room and I'm holding you because you belong in my arms. Yes you are hot but there's no need to brag about it love.", he mumbled with a sly grin on his lips and for a second, I was caught off guard and didn't register what he meant. What did he mea-.

Oh...that ass. Squirming back and forth, I continuously tried to no avail to get out of his arms. Finally after five minutes of no progress, I huffed and pouted. This was ridiculous.

Jasmine: "Let me go your Highness. I need a shower." I whined and his right eyebrow raised slightly.

King Laurent: "Say please and I'll even join you in the shower. Can't guarantee we will leave it completely clean." I felt my eyes widen at the insinuation and I almost stuttered on my next words from my embarrassment.

Jasmine: "What? No! Ill pass on that offer your Highness. Now please let me go." He frowned but let me go and turned to his side with a dejected sigh. I felt this pinch of guilt nag my mind but squashed it down but not before I could stop myself from touching King Laurent's arm in reassurance. His hand grabbed mine and just held it for a few seconds then he let go. I frowned but got up nonetheless and went to shower. When I got out, I realized I hadn't brought any clothes in with me and went into the room with just a towel on. I was hoping King Laurent was still sleep but no dice.

I walked in and he was sitting on the bed, reading through a document, hardly even noticing me. He was speaking to himself out loud.

King Laurent: "Ugh, these people are never happy. I suppose I will go into town today and see what the issue is." He was so lost in the documents that he didn't even see me come closer to him, taking a peek. It read:

Dear King Laurent & Larry,

We have asked many times about the school getting better supplies and bigger space but it seems we are overlooked every time for more "pressing" matters.
I don't mean to be rude your Highnesses but shouldn't the children of the kingdom education be important too?
All I ask is for some of your time and perhaps you both can come to the school and see for yourselves. Please your Majesties, we are becoming overcrowded.
Ms.Valos.

Jasmine: "Can I go with you? " he jumped slightly at my voice and I laughed a little at the scene. His eyes narrowed and he pulled me onto his lap, causing me to squeal a little at the sinewy hardness of his lower body. He spoke directly into my ear with a amused sigh.
