You're so... SOFT?!!!

...

Then he looks at me and then his lips start moving from my cheek to my mouth. I start to panic and I'm about to push him away, but his lips lock onto mine and soon his hand is in my hair and he's pressing his face harder into mine. I gasp as he pours all the years of yearning into this one kiss and soon has me against a wall and he's pressing me against it. My hands push him away and the kiss is finally broken. I take in a much needed breath and then I swerve my head towards him.

"Are you... crazy?!" I pant and look at him. He smiles.

"I guess you could say so. After all, I fell in love with you." He laughs, all happy.

"Really? And you don't give a crap about how I feel? Connor, you're a beautiful and sweet positive man, but I just... don't like you. You're my best friend. I want you to stay in that position. I- My life is great the way it is right now. So please... please don't ruin it for me."

"Your life may be fine, but my life isn't. I... I keep on thinking about you before I sleep, after I wake up, even before I go to work. I wonder how you are right now, what you're doing. I even sometimes want you to be laying right next to me on my bed, us comforting eachother and loving each other. Do you know why I came to work here? So I could see you everyday."

"Since when did you start liking me so much anyways?"

"When we first met! I knew you probably wouldn't like me if I first straight out told you I liked you, so I wanted to become your close friend so I could learn about your interests and then... I would ask you out once I felt that the chance was right."

"You just don't get it, do you? Connor, I don't like you. Okay? I'm sorry I have to become so harsh now, but I need to break it through to you." I sigh and a long silence overtakes our words. I start walking away and he stays where he is behind me, standing still. But then his hand whips forward and snatches mine.

"Can't you... can't you just stay with me? I'm sure you'll grow to like me. Please. I need you." His eyes look so pleading and innocent while mine look dark and serious.

"Connor. I love you. But it's just not the kind of love you want. I'm... I'm sorry." I wrench my hand free and walk away, leaving him all alone.

"Prince Kai, I've come to give you your lunch." I look around to make sure he's here this time and sure enough, he is. I bow and walk towards him. I set the tray of sandwiches and fruits on a table in front of the sofa Prince Kai is sitting on. "I hope you enjoy your lunch, Prince Kai. Please let me know if you need anything else." I bow again and then turn around to leave the room, but I feel a gentle grip on my hand. I turn back around and Prince Kai is rubbing my hand. Again. I get a shocked reaction and he seems to notice.

"Bother you?" He asks.

"No, Prince Kai. I... it's just this is a unique experience. To have a prince rub your hand." I laugh. Although I'm not really in a mood for laughing. He frowns but then it quickly fades away and then his eyes settle on my lips. Oh, dammit. I can't go through this again.

"I have something to tell you." He whispers. I nod my head, signaling for him to proceed.

"I... I like you."
