**Andrew**

As soon as I saw Desmia's face, I wanted to run over and spin her around. Kiss her perfect shell pink lips and hold her safe in my arms. But that didn't happen. I couldn't do that to Serena. I mean, she knew that I had loved Desmia, but did she still think that? Would she be expecting me to hurt her like that? The thought made me sad in a way. I didn't want someone to think that way about me. But at the same time, I really wanted to be with Desmia, badly. After all these years, the love was still there. It felt different then Serena. I think Serena was just a good friend. Maybe. I loved both of them, but it was different. I sighed in frustration. What was I supposed to do?

**Desmia**

It felt so nice to be back in my own dimension. Well nice, except for the fact that Andrew was in love with my princess replacement. I frowned at the thought of her as I sank myself deeper into the warm bath water. The bubbles covered me and I cupped some in my hand. I blew at them and they flew out of my hands. A peal of giggles came from my mouth and Andrew knocked on the door. "Come in!" I called and he opened the door.

"Why did you let me come in!?" he asked, anxiously, covering his eyes in the process.

"I'm completely submerged in bubbles, Andrew. I think you're safe to open your eyes." I say scathingly, rolling my eyes.

"Princess! This is practically forbidden!" he worries.

"Oh, live a little. It's not like you're in the bath with me." I say with my head back against the edge of the tub, my eyes closed. I glance over at him.

"Don't let me think about that." he mutters, running a hand through his hair. I smirk at him and laugh. 

"So Serena tells me that you're hers?" I prompt the thing that has been bothering me.

"Supposedly." he says simply, shrugging his shoulders. I cock my head to the side in a questioning gesture.

"She made it sound as though... Well, that maybe you were together." I say and he blushes.

"We are, technically." 

"What do you mean, 'technically'?" I ask.

"Well, I'm in a relationship with the princess. Serena isn't really the princess." I looked at him.

"You can't hurt her like that." I say coldly. No matter how much I'm getting a bad feeling about her, no one deserves a heart break like that.

"Why not?" he says carelessly.

"How would you feel if a handsome prince waltzed in here, and said, 'I love you, Desmia. Will you please love me back? I have spent my entire life thinking about you.' And then I smiled like a fool and broke up with you to marry him? You would not be happy." I said.

"That's different." he mumbles.

"It's no different and you know it." I retort.

"May I just have one kiss?" he asks, gazing at me. I turn the thought over in my head. Kiss him, or don't. Make Serena upset, or be loyal.

"Are you sure about this?" I ask, calculating. He nods vigorously. I sigh, I had hoped the answer would be less certain. 

"Just one," I murmur, still unsure if this is right. He takes three long strides and cradles my face in his hands. He brushes his lips against mine, once, then twice. His eyes lock with mine before he actually kisses me, making sure that it's still okay. I close my eyes as his lips move against mine. It was everything I ever imagined it could be and more. Bursts of heat surge through me, I wanted him badly. I knew it was wrong though. As he pulled away to take a breath, I knew that as a princess, I couldn't do something like this. I wouldn't do something that I could regret. But all I wanted was him, I wanted to be held in his arms, I wanted to hear him whisper 'I love you.' in my ear. I wanted to be able to hold his hand whenever I felt like it, I wanted to be able to just be with him. I wanted to sleep with him in the most innocent way. Just snuggled into this chest, where it would be warm and I could feel safe.

"What are you thinking about?" he whispered as he stared at my facial expression. A blush stained my cheeks.

"Nothing," I lied quickly. He smirks smugly at me.

"You could just say you think I'm hot." he says and I throw some of the bubbles at him.

"Andrew!" I protest weakly, giggling. I could tell this was going to be hard, to resist being with him.
