Long Live the King

Three

Alia's POV

I laugh, and I laugh loud. I cover my mouth and my head shoots back in awe. I snort and I stop, and I look at Guy, he is glaring me down. I cough nervously,

"What makes that so damn funny?" He says harshly and I scoot back and whimper.

"Nothing.."

"Do you not believe me Alia? Or is it that I look like a convict and it makes it so damn funny to know the fuckin' truth?" I freeze and return the glare,

"Don't curse, and I am laughing because I don't believe you, I wouldn't even if I wanted to." I say truthfully and he sighs loudly,

"Do I need to prove it?" he says while running his hand through his hair. I shake my head vigorously, and he chuckles and bends down where his feet are still planted on the ground but he is face to face with me. I breathe loudly and my hands start to shake,

"I am a convict because-" He stops and I look at him waiting for him to finish his sentence.

"You don't need to know prom queen." My breathing eases and I nod my head. He turns around and punches the wall hard, and I flinch and close my eyes.

"Damn it!" he screams and I stand up,

"Please quit cursing.." I mumble., and he turns. I notice his hand and its bloody and has cuts on it, how hard did he hit the wall?

"Don't tell me what to do princess." he says sarcastically and comes at me, I back up until I hit the wall. He sets both of his hands on the side of my face. I close my eyes tightly and wait for him to speak, or do anything. I feel him come closer to me, and I think he is going to hurt me, but he leans into my ear,

"You scared?" I shake my head and he chuckles.

"I think you are prom queen." I open my eyes slowly and my eyes are met with his golden ones. He raises his eyebrows and smirks.

"I like this position, what about you?" I stay still and he moves his mouth to my neck and leaves a soft kiss, he pulls away and I look at him confused. What the heck? He sits down crossing his legs again.

"So Alia, what do you want to do?" he asks as if he didn't do what he just did. I shrug and sit down as well,

"Want to play 20 questions?" I ask and he hums for a minute,

"Sure." I smile and he nods for me to go first.

"Favorite color?" I raise my brows,

"Black."

"Go figure." I laugh, as does he.

"How many siblings do you have?"

"One, my baby brother."

"What's his name."

"Ah ah ah Weathers, one question at a time." he grins and I really look at him for the first time. He has great facial structure, he has a perfect nose. His lips are pink and plump, and his swift hair is nice, he looks like he takes care of it. His eyes are brown with a golden tint, and his arms have little tattoos everywhere. I am taken out of my daze by a cough, I look up and see Guy smirking.

"Like what you see?" He smirks bigger and I blush,

"I-I was just t-taking it in.." I mutter and he nods,

"It's okay, I know I'm hot." He leans back and sets his hands behind his head.

"Conceited much?"

"No it's just a fact, just like a fact that you're pretty." He smiles, and I blush harder,

"Thanks.."

"Anytime princess." He winks at me and I smile and look away.

"Your turn."

"Hmmm, do you have any siblings?"

"Yeah, one sister." his face lights up,

"Tell me about her." I smile lightly and he leans up and starts talking about this young girl, who I learned whose name is Ava.

"She is 3, and she has light blonde hair and eyes like me. God Alia, she would love you." I chuckle and he looks at me and there is a look in his eye, it looks like hope.

"Where is she Guy?" I smile, then his drops.

"Oh my god I am so sorr-" He puts his hands in his lap and looks up worried,

"No, no she isn't dead Alia, I just don't know where she is." I frown. He smiles sadly then I feel his hand grasp my own.

"It's okay, I'll find her, I have hope." That's when I knew, he would be a great person.

"Can I ask you something..with out you getting angry?" I ask quietly and he tightens his grip on my hands and I wince.

"Sure."

"Why are you a convict?" I close my eyes and I hear him start breathing quicker,

"Some things are better hidden." I just nod, and don't push him any further.

"Whose turn is it princess?"

"Haha I am not sure." he drops my hands and I feel sad for a moment.

"I can just go?" he says and I nod,

"Hmm, what's your favorite book?" he smirks and I put my index finger on my chin,

"That's a hard one, hmm I'd have to say The Fault in Our Stars by John Green." I smile and am proud of my choice,

"What's that about." this time I light up.

"Its about this girl with cancer, Hazel Grace, and she had given up on treatment and trying to get better. Then in one of her group meeting things with other patients, she meets a boy who had beat cancer, and they fall in love, then something corrupt happens."

"What happens?" he asks curiously,

"I guess you'll have to read it to find out." He scowls but doesn't say anything,

"I have the book with me actually." I say and he looks at me,

"Want to borrow it?" he nods slowly and I get it out of my bag and hand it to him and he grazes his fingers over the words. I look at him as he takes in the cover of the story.

"Thank you Alia." I nod and he sets the book next to him softly and I smile, then I notice his hand again and I grab my bag and get the aide-kit out and grab his hand and he watches me confused.

"I'm cleaning your hand for you." he nods and then I feel his lips on my cheek, then I hear him whisper something that makes my skin crawl,

"Beautiful."
