A Royal Love: Matthew

Chapter nine

-Will's POV-

Once Luna and I are in our bedroom, I sit down on my bed. "He doesn't want to see me, what am I going to do now?" She sits down next to me. "He's just upset, give him time." "He had a whole month." "Will, he didn't hear anything from us for two years. He won't forgive that in a month." "I know, but if he would just let me explain..." "I know, Will, I know."

"Why didn't father or mother do anything? They told us that he had been difficult, but something very bad must has happened to drive Matt in joining the rebels." "Will, Matt never felt at home here. You know that just like me, he even told us that a lot. He never felt good here. He only had you to make his day a bit better and when we left, he was all alone." "He wasn't alone, he has Drake. At least I hope he does. When we left Matt was still mad at him." She smiles. "He isn't mad anymore, that girl he was with mentioned Drake."

"Who was she anyway?" "His girlfriend, he was kissing her in that lake." "Maybe, but did you see her helmet?" "Yes, the logo of the rebels was at the helm. That makes her a rebel." "The logo was slightly different from the one we usually see." I say and look at her. "She's not just any rebel, she's the leader of the rebels." She looks surprised. "That means that your father is going to arrest her when he knows." "Yes and when that happens, Matt's heart is going to be broken again." She looks sad. "But now it will hurt more than it did with Hazel. Now he's actually together with her."

"I just hope that he doesn't do anything stupid." "Anything stupid?" "You know, he's a man and she's a woman..." "You think that he's going to sleep with her?" "I don't know. Normally he wouldn't do that, but now..."

-Matt's POV-

We were kissing on the sofa. I'm on top of her. I move my hand from her hip to her waist under her top. I suddenly stop moving my hand and stop kissing her. She looks confused at me. I get off her and stand up. "What's wrong?" She asks standing up and looking worried at me. I don't look at her. "I'm sorry, I can't do it." With that said, I walk to the stairs and go upstairs.

Since what happened on the sofa I've been upstairs in our room. It's actually May's room, but when I moved in, we decided that I should sleep with her. Not because we wanted to sleep in the same room, but because I couldn't sleep in her parents' room or Drake's room. I told her that I would sleep on the sofa, but she didn't want that. So that only left one option, in her bedroom and in her bed.

It's already dark outside so May would come to sleep soon. The door opens and interrupts my thoughts. May walks in and lays down next to me. "Matt?" She asks quiet. I don't look at her. "Yes?" "Why couldn't you do it?" I don't answer and still don't look at her. "Is it because of me?" I look at her. "No! Don't think that!" She looks me in the eyes. "Then why couldn't you do it?" "I made a promise to the people, I can't break it." "A promise?" "Yes, to wait until after my marriage." "Why didn't you just say it? I thought that it was my fault." "Because I really wanted to do it." I say and I place my hand on her cheek. "I can't stop thinking about you and I can't keep my hands of you." She smiles and put her hand on mine. "I feel the same way."

I take my hand of her cheek and hold both of her hands. "Then, marry me." "Marry you?" "Yes, I want you to be my wife." "Aren't you rushing things?" "No, I'm not. It's usually how it goes. You marry, after your first kiss. Because when you kiss, you agree to marry." She looks confused at me. "If that's true, then a lot of people are engaged without knowing it." "I thought so too, but look at Will and Luna, they're still happily married. They're even expecting a baby!" "Yeah but-" "At least think about it." She smiles again. "I will."
