Her Heart (1/3)

Chapter 12

"Stone." i greeted him as i made way for him to enter the castle.

"Parker." he greeted back smoothly smirking.

There was something about the way he spoke that felt so right, it was wrong.

Control your emotions you hoe!

"You good?" i ask.

"Always. Are you?" he makes eye contact with me and i have to swallow the huge lump in my throat as my heart rate accelerates.

"Well as you can see..." I smiled only pulling his leg.

He scanned me up and down biting his bottom lip before replying, "Well yes I can." then he flashed that perfect smile.

Again, the way he looked at me. It felt so wrong on so many levels but i couldn't help but feel more confident in myself, glad that he approves of what he sees.

Parker!

I than giggled of course.

Parker, are you blushing?!

"Study is this way." i announce ignoring my pureblood again.

"Lead the way." he said making way for me to pass his tall height that easily shadowed me.

Imagine being lifted by this guy...

My pureblood drops her eyes and folds her arms while shaking her head.

We got to the study and we sat down and got ready for the lesson.

"I've never been in this type of house before." he says looking around.

"Oh I'm so sorry, how rude of me. Welcome to our castle."

"Thanks genius." he says still examining the room.

I laughed. "What?"

"I've never been in a castle before is what I meant."

Then why didn't you just say so? But I ask a different question instead, "You've never been over at Jeremy's before?"

Suddenly it was like I touched a nerve by asking that. His entire face turns stone cold as he says, very sternly, "No."

He than quickly shakes his head slightly and he is back. "I guess you are one of the fortunate enough to be of royalty."

"Aren't you of royalty?"

"Uhm, something like that..." he says then chuckles.

"Hmmmm, im intrigued."

He locks his eyes with me again and speaks. "No, you aren't focused is what you are." then he smirks.

I blush. "Yeah uhm you're right." i say laying out our books and stationary.

From the corner of my eye i could see that the smirk hasn't left his face as he watches me prepare.

3 hours later

"I'm tired." he announced playing around with his pencil.

"Of course you are, you stopped paying attention an hour ago." I point out.

"I want to move on to a better topic."

"Euclidean?"

He drops his eyes and frowns while I giggle.

"I'll get you some snacks downstairs."

I walked downstairs to the kitchen and asked Ash for some snacks. I opened the fridge for some drinks and when I closed it my heart nearly stopped. Ryan scared the shit out of me when he just appeared next to me.

"What the fuck Ryan! Are you trying to kill me!?"

"The princess swears?" he askes with his eyebrow raised.

"Yeah when you fucken scare me!"

He laughed. "Okay I'm sorry. But I thought you knew I was here. Didn't pick my scent?"

"Actually no. And that's weird because I always do."

"Well im sorry, but don't get mad and call daddy."

Daddy. Did I even have one? I just wish I had someone like that. Someone i could call when I needed something, even though it was unnecessary. I still needed to know if my dad would do anything for me and so far I was missing both my parents, missed having them in my life.

"Oh uhm I'm sorry did i say something wrong?" he asked when he noticed i had kind of froze.

"Huh? Oh no I uhm...just...i don't know what happened." i answered honestly.

"You sure?" he asked with concern laced in his voice.

"Yes, im fine. Anyway, I didn't know you had a sister. As a matter of fact I didn't know Katie-my daughter-was your sister."

"Your daughter? Please! Take her!" he begs dramatically.

"I would love to, that kid is just way too cute. My baby better look that cute."

"It runs in the family right?" He leaned in closer and smiled.

I purposely turn around and give him different types of junk, letting that distract him so he can't see me blush.

"Anyway...i see you're rocking a denim jacket as well." i say trying to change the topic so i wouldn't answer his question.

So divert the conversation by asking about his jacket? She shakes her head disapprovingly than turns to walk away.

"Great minds think alike I guess."

"So is she the only sibling you have?"

"Yeah. What about you?"

"No, we have a younger brother as well. He is somewhere in the castle too."

"You're the first born?"

"Yeah. Then Brittany and my dad's first son."

After about an hour of just talking, their driver came to pick them up and I walked them to the car.

"Bye Caroline." said a now tired Katie and she gave me a hug as well as Brittany.

"Bye honey." then she got into the car.

"Don't I get a hug?" Ryan asked unexpectedly.

Wow. Tell me I'm dreaming!

"Oh uhm..." I stretched my arms out to hug him and he accepted the hug.

The hug was so warm, this was a different kind of hug. He was warm, he made me feel safe and secure. He made feel relaxed, like there was no worry in the world. I enjoyed every minute of that very brief hug that felt like it lasted a decade on my side.

Why was i suddenly feeling like this for this boy?

"And my nickname?" he asked his arms still wrapped tightly around my waist.

"Goodbye Stone." I smirked, slowly and unwillingly walking out of his warm embrace.

He laughed. "Alright I see. Bye Parker." he said locking his eyes with mine, instantly having me heat up.

Then he got into the car and they took off.

Ryan's P.O.V

"Yeah not your girlfriend. I believe that." he said looking at me through the rear view mirror with a giant smirk on his face.

"Just shut up and drive." i said with a smile of my own.
