Forbidden Love

Chapter 9

Only in your arms
I feel safe

----

Jacob’s p.o.v

I held her trembling body in my arms, she was crying so much that she was shaking. My poor, poor baby. I can’t believe that he did that. I placed my head on top of hers and thinking of ways that I could kill Eric to make it look like an accident.

"Shh, baby, everything is going to be okay" I said rocking her from side to side.

"No, everything isn’t going to be okay. Don’t you understand?! I-I don’t want to anymore! I don’t want to run, I don’t want to pretend to be happy, I don’t want to feel like I’m cheating on you against my own will!" she screamed and fell to the ground in front of me.

"Alishia, you shouldn’t feel like that because you don’t. You don’t cheat on me, you do what you have to do, it’s your duty" I said sitting down in front of her placing my hands on her upper arms.

"But what if I don’t want it to be my duty? Right now I’m doing everything that I stand against for. For women’s right to not be used as an object and I’m not saying that you are using me, because I don’t think you are, but Eric is using me just so he can be king and it feels like dad is using me too" she said falling into my arms.

I didn’t now what to say, what she said was true. I held her close to my chest and she have finally stop crying her skinny arms was around my neck and she pushed her face into my shoulder, seeking warmth in the chilly May-night.

"Alishia, I will say to the maids to not enter your room what so ever during the whole day tomorrow, so don’t worry about them" her mom said.

I had totally forgot that her mom was here, but Alishia said she was okay that I’m her boyfriend.

"Thanks mom" she said just above a whisper.

"You’re welcome sweetie" she said before she walked back into the castle again.

I carefully picked her up and sat down on the bench instead of sitting on the ground. I took off her high-heels placing them on the bench.

"Thank you" she whispered.

"For what?"

"For staying with me"

"Baby, I will stay with you no matter what, okay?"

"Still thank you" she chuckled.

"Do you want to go on a walk?"

"Sure, I just have to change, I’ll be quick" she said giving me a kiss before she ran inside to change in her heels.

I waited for less than 5 minutes before she came running a pair of Adidas leggings, some white converse, a hoodie that seemed like 10 times to big on her, a cute messy bun and make-up free.

"Hey there, beautiful" I said when she came running up to me.

"I borrowed your hoodie, the maid for some reason had put your clothes in my room and I brought you a t-shirt" she said and gave me my t-shirt.

"Another reason to see me shirtless" I chuckled.

"….maybe…. No, of course not, you idiot!"

"Baby, don’t lie"

"Okay, maybe a little" she said embarrassed.

I took of the jacket and then pulled of my shirt and placed the clothes on the bench. Still embarrassed she looked down with her cheeks bright red.

"Baby" I said gently grabbing her chin to make her look at me.

She placed her small hands on my chest and then let them slid around my waist, keeping the contact all the time. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and she kissed my chest.

To feel her pretty, soft, warm lips against my pretty cold chest was one of the cutest things she have ever done. I bent down and placing my hands under her butt and lifting her up making her squeal a little in surprise.

"What are you doing?" she squeaked and hitting my shoulders.

"My lips are up here, you know?"

"I know, but you are so tall that I can’t reach them" she said and putted her arms around my neck.

She leaned down kissing me slowly, it was one of those kissed you would die for to get from her.

"Should we go on that walk, or?" I asked her.

"Sure, if you let me down"

"You know that is not happening" I chuckled.

I re-arranged her so she sat more on my hip rather than my stomach so I could throw the clothes over my shoulder. I walked through the gardens with her still on my hip and she was now nearly a part of my side.

"Should we go back?"

I just got a soft humming back as a sign that she was nearly asleep. She yawned and looked at me tiered.

"Could you please put me down, babe?"

"If I have to" I sighed and placed her back on the ground.

"Put on your shirt"

"Okay, but why?" I chuckled beginning to putting my shirt on.

"Because I’m the only one who is supposed to see you shirtless" she said quiet and embarrassed.

"Aww, you’re getting jealous of the thought that anybody else would see me shirtless" I said pinching her cheeks.

"Hey, stop that!" she said a little irritated.

"But I want something in exchange then"

She sighed and gave me a peek on the lips.

"C’mon now" she said and dragged me into the castle.

She suddenly stopped when she saw someone and when the person wouldn’t see us we sprinted up the stairs and then into her room, locking the door behind us.
