crystal clear

Chapter twelve

Crystals POV

Ugh. In woken up by a blinding light which is actually just the son. My head hurts and I feel sick. I drag myself out of bed and as soon as I stand a wave of nausea hits me so I sprint to the toilet.

After puking for five minutes I stand up and turn on the shower. I look at myself in the mirror. Makeup is smeared all over my face. There's vomit in my hair. My hair is just a mess.

I stand in the shower and relish in the hot water. I need breakfast. I leave my damp hair down. Put on some leggings, a blue hoodie and my ugg boots. Then I grab my sunglasses because this light is burning my eye balls.

Then I make my way to the dining room. Lucien is already there.
"Are you okay, love?" Lucien asks when he looks at my attire.
I clutch my head.
"Jesus Lucien. Shush." I say to him and put my finger over my lips.

Lucien laughs at me.
"Let me guess you have, what do the humans call it? Ahh yes a hangover." Lucien says. "That's what you get for drinking loads of wine."

"Shut up." I mumble to him and eat my breakfast.

A few bites later, I look at Lucien with a worried expression.
"What? What's wrong?" Lucien asks me panicked. He runs over to me.

"I'm going to be..." I borked. "Sick." I say to him.
"Oh please. Don't." Lucien says.

I Bork again and this I'm sick. Lucien grabs my hair and rubs my back.
"You owe me big time, crystal Williams." He says.

-------------

After I'm finished being sick. Lucien calls some servants to clean up my mess. Lucien picks me up and carries me to a room.

He puts me down on a bed and I recognise it as lucien's room.
"No. I can't be on your bed." I whine.
"Why not? You'll be in this room as soon as you're married." Lucien informs me.

"Because I will get a disease and why can't we go in my room." I say.
"Firstly, love I assure you I am clean and my room is bigger and better." He says.

I lay on his chest and close my eyes.

"Sorry for ruining our date last night." I say to him.
"That's quite alright love. In fact you were quite amusing. You told me about how you liked everything about me and then you were sick." He said smirking.

I blushed with embarrassment for telling Lucien I like him. It's a good job I didn't say I was falling for him. I decided not to comment on that.
"I was sick. That's three times now." I say avoiding the other part.

"I told you it was strong wine, crystal." Lucien said.
"Yeah you did."

"You know yesterday before the meal, I went to my father and asks him some questions about humans."
"What about humans?"

"Marriages. Use propose with a ring. Which in my opinion is quite odd. We just get rings at the actual wedding but use get two." Lucien said.
"Why did you want to know about human weddings?" I asked confused.

"Yesterday evening I had it all planned out. A human way. There was A date that was in a nice spot and I had a ring." He said casually.

"What?" I whispered out. I felt so guilty now.
"Yes I was going to propose in a nice romantic way." He said smirking.
"I'm sorry for ruining that." I said and put my head down. I'm so stupid. Would I have said yes? Of course.

"So since you ruined the nice surprise." Lucien said in a joking voice while smirking. Why is smirking? It's not funny. I feel bad. He got up of the bed.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"I'm going to do it now. Covered in your vomit and while you have a hangover and are wearing sweats." He said and got down on his knee.

My heart was pounding. My palms were sweaty. Scratch that. My whole freaking body was sweaty. I say up straight and stared at him. My eyes were wide and my mouth was open.

He looked me in the eye and smiled.
"Crystal Williams. Will you marry me and become my wife, my queen and love?" He asked. He took out a box with a ring in. The ring was beautiful. It was silver with a diamond in the shape of a heart on. Simple yet elegant. I loved it.

I nodded.
"Yeah." I breathed out.
He let out a breathy laugh of relief.

I ran off the bed and jump on him. And kissed him. A few moment later he broke the kiss.

"I thought you were going to say no and laugh at me and say I'm disgusting." He said and smirked.

I laughed because a few weeks ago I probably  would of done that.

"Not to ruin the moment or anything but I feel sick again." I said to him. "I need to lay down."

"That's a good idea." Lucien says and we lay on the bed.

I smile and look at the ring.
I did not expect that. To be honest I like this proposal more than the date night one. This one is more like us.

I close my eyes and try to get some sleep. This hangover needs to go.

Lucien's POV

I can remember when crystal first came here. I thought our marriage was going to be full of hate and we would tolerate each other just for the power we had.

But now I can see this marriage is going to be full of everything down to hate, love arguments, make up. It will be a good interesting marriage.

Crystal is so unpredictable. That's what I live about her. You say something to her and she will either love it or hate it. It makes her more fun and interesting. Not to mention she is gorgeous and all mine.

Jareth's POV

"Ardeth. The labyrinth is ready to accept its new king." I told my friend shocked.

"Lucien has fallen in love with the girl." Ardeth said equally as shocked as me.
"He has. He just doesn't know it. I can't believe he has settle down and grew up for his responsibilities. He is fully ready to become king." I say and smile. "Now all he has to do is get crystal to marry him." I say to Ardeth. I am happy for my son. He has a great future. A wife, a kingdom and an heir.

"Well him and crystal spend a lot of time together. They will be married and ruling in no time." Ardeth said.
