"You know curiosity always kills the cat," He says looking down at me.
"Yeah, But doesn't each cat have nine lives?" I bite my lip.
"Your right, so tell me this. How many lives do you have left?" He keeps stepping closer to me, while I continue ba...
I sat on the bed waiting for Seth to walk through the door. It's currently 12:48am. There's been so much on my mind I've not been able to go to sleep.
I've always wanted to be deeply in love with someone. I want the fairy tale endings like in movies but is Seth my prince. Is this all business to him?
"Vanessa, what are doing still up?" I look up and see his eyes staring directly into mine. "Is this what you want?," I say pointing from him to me.
"What?," he says taken back. I huff and cross my arms.
"I just want to know if this-" I say again pointing from him to me. He walks towards me angel like. "Is what you want. I know I have no other choices so you tell me, if I'm just gonna be your fucking bitch or-or more than tha-" He cut me off by slamming his lips onto mine.
He moved his lips with mine in sync and he held my cheeks in his hands. This kiss was sweet. I never wanted it to end.
He pulled away and looked down at me. "That contract. That stupid contract doesn't mean anything to me anymore. Vanessa I've only known you for a few months but... but I feel like I can't live without you," He says breathless.
— flashback —
"Vanessa. Listen, to me," He grits out. I could tell I was getting on his nerves but I like doing that. I'm trying to eat my apple but he won't leave me alone.
"Sign the damn contract," he says shoving a piece of paper into my hands.
I looked down at the paper and scanned my eyes over it. I didn't bother reading the 2nd page and I signed my name on the line. "Done are you happy now?," I smile innocently.
A wicked smirk spreads across his face and he looks at me. "What?," I say picking up an apple slice. "You should've read the whole contract."
I put my apple down and grab the papers from his hands. I flip to the second page and in big bold letters it stated
After the marriage and within the next 2 years Seth with have 2 eligible heirs.
"WHAT?!," I scream at the top of my lungs.
"You should've read the contract," he says slyly and walks away.

I was stupid and should've read the damn contract. Maybe if I read it I would feel less conflicted with my emotions.
I can't deny the feelings I have for Seth. In this short amount of time I've spent with him I've seen him change. I've felt myself change as well.
"Where did you go?," I say looking into his eyes. "I had to finish some things up at work."
I didn't push it. I know somethings up I didn't feel like questioning at this time. "How about I make it up to you, right now."
I scrunch up my eyebrows and stare at him surprised. "What?"
He pushes me onto the bed and smirks at my outfit. My cheeks blaze a deep shade of red and I smack his arm. "Stop it you perv."
He laughs lightly and puts his jacket around me. I was wearing a crop top and small shorts that I normally wouldn't wear. I feel exposed.
He grabs my hand and he leads me through the dark house. Everyone sound asleep and here we are sneaking around. We reached the garage and he turns on the lights. "How did you manage to go through this whole house in the dark without crashing into something."
He smiles and simply nods. "Takes practice."
Wait, What?
He opens the door for me and I hesitate slightly. A lot of times when I go out with Seth something bad ends up happening. "It's alright. I promise to keep you safe."
I slide into the car after hearing his slightly reassuring statement. He quickly gets in after and we leave the gated mansion.
I rest my head on the car window and drift off into a dream land.

"Vanessa." I light kiss is planted on my cheek.
"Vanessa." Another kiss is planted on my other cheek. My eyes lazily flutter open and spot Seth smiling at me.
"We're here," He states. I get out of the car and walk over to Seth standing close behind him.
The excitement was clear in his voice. I don't understand why he was so excited. I looked around at the scenery and noticed we were in the middle of nowhere. A bunch of trees and flowers. Maybe this was some sort of park? Oh my god are we trespassing.
"This was my moms favorite place. She loved it so much my dad bought it for her. All of this land was hers."
His eyes looked glossy. I could hear the hurt in his voice and the pain when he spoke. He never talks about his mom and I don't really know much about her. But I suppose she's gone considering he's talking in past tense.
"She'd spend hours here," he laughs lightly. "No could could get her from here, no matter how hard they tried."
I watched as his eyes shined when he talked about her. He obviously loves his mom to pieces. He reaches for my hands and pulls me to a Gazebo. The roses are hard to se in the dark but I still notice the beautiful flowers.
He turns away from me and flips a couple of switches and lights turn on. "Vanessa King, May I please have this dance?"
My heart bangs on my chest and butterflies erupt in my stomach.
"I'd love that."
