We started to gallop once again and Zane went to my side. "Rose, please tell me why you're mad at me?" He asked and I sighed. "Every single girl at the village kept staring and I guess I got-" "Jealous?" Zane says finishing my sentence. I nodded and just kept looking up ahead. 'You can't hold a grudge against him. He didn't do anything.' The voice said and I sighed. "I'm sorry." I said and reached out for Zane and he held my hand. "I love you." He said and I smile. We let go and say it was night time. We settled next to a creak and past the night there. I sat under a crooked tree staring at Zane who was washing his face in the river. I blush staring at him. Oscar catches me and sits next to me. "Hey, why did he escape with you?" He asked and I took a deep breath. "Yea, he was one of the royal guards and the prince is his brother. When the prince would beat me or cut me he would take care of my wounds. He's the only one who's ever shown me kindness." I explained to him and he nodded and put his hand on my head messing up my hair. He chuckle as I struggle to fix my wild curls. "Well now you have an extra person here to keep you happy and protect you." He said and I smiled and looked up at the sky.
He gets up and when I fixed my hair we messed it up once again making me frustrated but I giggled anyways. I look back in Zane's directing and see Zane was staring at us. He turned back around wasting some of his old clothes. I take off my boots and roll up my leggings. I go next to him and stick my legs in. "Are you jealous now?" I asked and he simple nodded. "Roslinda Ro'maeve, hmm doesn't sound bad." I said and he quickly grabbed my chin with his cold hand and made me look at him. "You will still marry me?" He asked in his most serious voice. "Of course." I said and he nuzzles my nose with his. "Then no more flirting with other guys." He said and I frowned. "I wasn't flirting." I said and he sighed and shook his head. "Rose, he was messing with you and touched your hair, that's flirting since you let him." He said and I tilt my head at him. "I won't anymore, now can we get ready for bed? I wanna snuggle." i complained and he smiled.
He hangs his clothes in a tree branch and picks me up as if I was his bride and lays us down on the ground. He grabs three pillows and throws one at Oscar. He also gives us a blanket. I felt a breeze go by so Zane grabs me and puts both blankets are on top of us. He wraps his arms around me and I smile. He pulls me onto his chest and I mile brightly and leave gentle kisses on his chest and hear him making little sounds. "R-Rose, s-stop." He said and I smile brighter and just close my eyes and fall into deep sleep.
