Royal Mate

Chapter 9- I have to break up with him

LUKES POV

I knock on her room door and she opens it. Her beautiful smile greets me but she doesn't say anything to me as she talks on her phone. Her hand gesture is what tells me to enter her room.

I only take a few steps in before her hand touches my back. She leads me to the couch in the room and i take a seat as she continued on with her conversation on the phone but the feeling I got from her hand on my back took me into my own world that I couldn't hear what she was saying, or even bother to guess who she was on the phone with. Even when her hand left my back i was still in my own world from the feeling that lingers. 

It was when i heard her beautiful laugh that i came back into reality.  "Haha, ok Noah that's enough ... Bye, I love you more... No I do, but we'll discuss that another time I have to go." She hangs up the phone and lets out a sad sigh.

"Everything alright in paradise?" She takes a seat next to me on the couch and i face her fully Her hand rested on my shoulder now.

"Perfect, I just miss him that's all. It's going to be a month before I see him again. But we'll get through it. We always do. Now under the bed is my brief case that I'll be taking with me. Where is your stuff?"

"I took it to the car already. Just waiting on you now. You didn't drink any water right? Make sure you use the bathroom before we start driving." I grab her hand off my shoulder and put it in my own. "Are you sure everything is alright?"

"Yea, sorry didn't mean to touch you. I had to tell you something but I forgot. I don't know why my hand stayed though."

"No, you're fine. I don't mind at all. Anyways I'll just grab your luggage, and we can get on our way." I get down under her bed and pull out her bag.

"Thanks, but I can take it from here. I have hands and arms for a reason." As she grabs it out of my hands her hands slightly touch mine. I savor every single touch we share, every single moment we are close together.

I let out a laugh and she didn't return it as she stared at me. "I'm sorry, it's just. When you were younger-." I stop myself. I couldn't remind her. Her face begs for me to continue, and I want to, but I know I shouldn't. "Just meet me downstairs." I rush past her speeding off to Jace office.

I push the door open, and he looks up from the paperwork he has in front of him.

"Is everything alright? You look kind of pale." He comes up with a bucket thinking I'm going to puke. Which I do. "It's not blood. But you shouldn't be getting sick she's here."

I wipe my mouth with the rag Jace passes me. "This was because I'm nervous. Has nothing to do with our split life."

"Oh." Jace pats my back as he takes the bucket away from me. "It's just a few hours car ride. She might even just fall asleep."

"Jace, she touched me. Her hand literally rested on my back, and I lost it on the inside." I look at him in his eyes. "I almost brought up something she did when she was little and honest to the moon goddess, I would've showed her the memory right on the spot if I could. I can't do this. I want to tell her and her face. Ugh Jace her face, it begged me to tell her. I can't, someone else needs to drive her." I take a seat on the sofa in his office and place my face in my hands.

"And what if she gets sick and you aren't close by to help her. What if she seizes and di-." I growl pushing Jace back. Immediately I realize what I have done and calm down.

"I'm sorry." I say as I take a seat. "I can't lose her, and the thought of that happening." I let out a sigh. "I'm going to mess up. I am going to tell her something she shouldn't know. I'm going to jog some memory, and she might seize. I may even be the cause of her seizure. I was the cause of her last two seizures, what if I cause another one."
