Kingdom Come

chapter 18

Y/n

"Im pretty sure it wasn't like millions of dollars but I'm pretty sure it was around a few thousand. They never really told me if it was for something special or just in case. Maybe its hush money for something, who knows."

Demetria chuckled and shook her head.

"Hush money? For what? Who are they trying to keep quiet?", you gave a subdued nod and fiddled with your fingers.

"I don't think your parents would of been able to do something to someone or some people, this kingdom is kept under pretty high surveillance.", you gave a half hearted hum and then went quiet.

"Hey, look at me.", you gradually lifted your head and looked at Demetria, she had a small smile on her face.

"I know you were joking about the hush money thing, I think you've read a lot of books and it just kind of mashed with reality for a moment. I didn't mean to make you feel upset, I'm sorry.", you nodded and moved over, wrapping your arms around her shoulders and leaning against her.

She wrapped her arms around your waist and pulled you closer, running her hand along your back and going over your butt.

You looked backed as she did it again, she paused and looked with you, smirking as she realized what she was doing.

"Does this bother you?", you shook your head feverishly, pushing back against her hand.

She chuckled and squeezed your butt, smiling as you whimpered.

She pulled your hips down quickly capturing you in a kiss. You placed your hands on her shoulders and held on for support, scared that you'd fall back.

For a few minutes you both just sat there, kissing and holding each other.

Suddenly a pounding fist came on the door which cause you fall back a little.

Demetria held you up and quickly turned around, laying you on the bed and standing up, she brushed the wrinkles from her skirt as she stood.

As she walked over the door rattled with more of the pounding fist.

Demetria grabbed the door knob and swung the door open, her face red and angry.

On the opposite side stood a guard, he looked worried which made Demetria cool down.

"What?", The guard lean next to her head and whispered something in her ear.

"You've got to be kidding me.", The guard shook his head, looking at his watch and back at Demetria.

She sighed and rubbed her forehead, slowly shaking her head.

"Go, tell them I'll be down in a moment to discuss it.", The guard nodded and turned, jogging off down the hall.

You stared at Demetria as she closed the door and rubbed her face.

"What happened?", She looked up and sighed, coming over to you and sitting next to you.

"Remember that big meeting I asked you about, the one about coming with me?", You nodded and turned a little on the bed, facing her and waiting for her to continue.

"Well, they changed the date. I have to go in two days.", Your mouth hung open a little, Demetria chuckling a bit.

She gently pushed your jaw back up and gave a small kiss to your cheek.

"So, now my worry is you. I can't leave you here in the castle, people will try and kick you out. I wouldn't be able to show you off as my partner cause they would bring up how long we've know each other. I don't know what to do."

She closed her eyes and tilted her head back a little.

You scooted closer to her and leaned against her, confused about everything as well.

She wrapped her arms around your shoulders and kissed your head.

"I can always just...go back and stay with my parents.", Demetria's head shot up and she looked at you with shock.

"I'm sorry what?", She tilted her head and stared at you.

"Are you crazy? You under no circumstances will go back there, especially not alone. Don't you remember what your mother did?", You nodded and fell quiet, not having anything to say.

She stood up and placed around the room, shaking her head and quietly murmuring to herself.

"No, you're not going back there. I'll bring you with me, the other Kings and queens have to pull their heads out of their asses.", You stood up and walked over to her, wrapping your arms around her waist.

"It's not necessary, I'll be fine, plus it was only one inci-", she turned around in your arms and gave you a look.

"Y/n, I don't care if it was one incident or ten, you're not going back there alone, that's final.", You moved back and crossed your arms.

Your face scrunching up as you stared at her.

"I'm not trying to be rude here, but who the hell do you think you are? You can't tell me where I will and won't go. I'm my own person. I will go where I please.", Demetria lifted her eyebrows in surprise.

"Excuse you, I run this kingdom, I have a say in everything.", You shook your head and scoffed.

"Bullshit you do, I go where I want when I want, you can't tell me shit. I could understand if we were together but we aren't. Right now I'm just your little fling.", Demetria's face fell and she looked shocked.

You chuckled a little and shook your head.

"I think you need to remember what you had called me down here for, to keep you company. That's it. Go to your stupid meeting alone, I'm staying with my parents, I'll talk to you once you get back. Hopefully by then you'll have pulled your own head out of your ass and realized I'm my own person."

You turned around and opened the door to her room, slamming it shut behind you.

You stalked your way down the stairs and out the front gates, walking past the guards and the other normal people.

Some people stared others whispered, no one stopped you though.

Not a single soul dared to.

(Ok, so like if I'm being honest, wasn't planning on updating this tonight. I kinda was just writing a little and it started to roll out. 

Also that last line though, in proud of that, it's so simple but I love it so much.
Ok that's it, have a good night or day.)
