4: Forever

"Forever!!" Lilah screamed.

"Keep your voice down." Alexandra said to Lilah. " And yes forever." 

"No, not forever. How about just a day or two?" Lilah asked Alexandra.

"Give me one good reason why I can't stay forever?" Alexandra asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Because you are soon to be Queen. Your kingdom needs you here for them-for us." Lilah said placing her hands on Alexandra's shoulders. Alexandra thought about it, but she really wanted to get away from the palace.

"Fine, I will only stay for 3 days and 2 nights." Alexandra said to Lilah.

"2 days and 1 night." Lilah said.

Alexandra was about to disagree when there was a knock at the door.

"Hide the clothes." Lilah told Alexandra and she walked to the door. Alexandra threw the clothes under her bed and then she ran to sit in front of the mirror. Lilah opened the door to a smiling Jacob.

"Hello, Mister Jacob, how may I help you?" Lilah said.

"Not you Lilah, her." Jacob said pointing towards Alexandra.

Alexandra turned around to look at him, "And why me?"  Alexandra asked.

"We just need to talk. Okay?" Jacob said stepping into my room. "Alone." He added.

"Very well, I will be in the kitchen if you need me." Lilah said giving Alexandra a look that said give me details later.  Jacob closed the door and placed his head on the door. He stayed that way for a minute.

"What do we need to talk about?"  Alexandra asked him. He raised his head up and said " I'm going with you." 

"I don't what you are talking about."  Alexandra lied.

"Ha," He laughed. "Remember, I knew you were sneaking out before you kissed me." 

"No, YOU kissed ME!"  Alexandra said jumping out of my chair.

"Calm down, princess, I liked it too." He said walking towards  Alexandra's window.

"You did?"  Alexandra asked kinda quietly.

"Yea, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you have to take me with you and no one can know." Jacob said turning towards Alexandra.

"Okay....how long are you planning on staying wherever we go?"  Alexandra asked him.

"How are you?" He asked Alexandra back.

"Forever."  Alexandra said.

"Forever." He agreed.

"Can I ask you something?"  Alexandra said.

"You just did but go ahead." Jacob said grinning.  Alexandra rolled her eyes and ask, "Why are you leaving?"

Walking towards  Alexandra and looking serious he said, " Because the person I care about the most is leaving me forever."  Alexandra didn't know what to do. Could he be talking about me, Alexandra thought to herself. "But I'm going to make sure that she never leaves my side." Jacob continued, but this he reached Alexandra grabbed her hands and kissed them.

"What time are we leaving." Alexandra said to Jacob.

"After breakfast, tomorrow morning." Jacob said.

"Why not now." Alexandra said.

"Because tomorrow is when the Queen leaves for tea at Queen Mera's Kingdom." Jacob said caressing my cheek. "Okay." I nodded.

"I have to go, now." Jacob said heading towards the door. " Hey, it's you and me babe." He said and left the room.
