The Prince and the Maid: A Divergent Story

Ch. 5: Kissing

Tobias POV:

I can't keep pretending I'm not in love with her. Every time I see her I just want to kiss her.
I lay on my bed thinking about her. She opens my door and begins picking up the clothes on the floor. When she turns around, she jumps at the sight of me.
I laugh.
"Did I scare you?" I ask her.
"Yes." She replies.
"So what's up?"
I get up and walk closer to her.
"Tobias. Please. I have work." She says.
"Can you hand me that shirt? I wanna change." I say to her.
She hands me the shirt and I take off the on I'm wearing now. I don't put the new one on yet.
She says at my abs and then to my face.
I finally put the new shirt on.
"Tris. I'm in love with you. I'm in love with your beauty, your feistiness, your captivating eyes, I'm in love with you and everything about you." I say.
"Tobias. We can't. You are a prince and I'm the maid. It can't work. You'll find someone else because the last guy did."
When she says the last part she quickly covers her mouth.
"There was a last guy?" I ask her.
"He claimed he loved me. And then one day he just left me for another. And I don't want you playing with my heart just like he did."
"I promise. I won't. I really like you and I just don't want to screw this up. You are just so beautiful."
She puts her head down, smiling and blushing.
"You're just saying that." Tris says.
"No, I'm not. You are the most beautiful girl I've seen."
We stare at each other for a long time and move closer.
Within seconds we are inches away.
Centimeters.
Millimeters.
She puts her head down.
I lift her head with my thumb and kiss her.
Shocked by my action, she doesn't kiss back at first.
Then she starts.
She wraps her hand around my neck and I snake my arms around her waist.
We break apart.
"Uh...I-I...um. I need to go. I'll see you tomorrow." She says and runs off.
Great.
Just great.
