The one that got away

Chapter 6 - Jeanelle

        I ran home once again after seeing the Prince, I was beginning to make a habit of it. But I knew that had to be done. Me and the Prince could never stay together, for the very simple reason of him being royalty and me just a simple maid at his castle. Even with the knowledge of this I couldn´t help but feel attracted to him and set up another meeting with him the next day. I could still feel the touch of his lips on my hand. And the sweet words he said to me if only he knew I felt the same way... I have to be careful or otherwise I will end up falling in love with him, and the only outcome for that his a broken heart, mine.

        The day went by quickly, I heard rumors in the castle of the Prince saying that he was extremely happy today as if he was in love. When I heard this rumor I couldn´t help but feel happy, was it possible that he truly love me? I was so happy the rest of the day I did not even care if the governess yell at me for not doing my job right. I mean if its so bad why doesn´t she do it herself!?

        When the time come I dress in my usual outfit and went to meet him by the river. He was so handsome standing there looking at the refection of the moon in the calm water of the river. I couldn´t help but admire him.

        - You´re making an habit of sneaking up on me - he suddenly says

        - Than perhaps you should pay more attention - I answer back, I wasn´t wearing my hood tonight since he already knew how I look.

        He turns so he could face me

        - Even though you were the one who told me to be here I was still afraid you wouldn´t come - he admited

        - Am I that unpredictable?

        - I guess I was just scared you wouldn´t come.

        Without me noticing we had come closer to each other and he had taken my hand.

        - What are we doing my Prince? - I asked him

        - Eric please, call me Eric.

        - Even if I call you only by your birth name that wouldn´t conceive the reality that you are a Prince and I am someone who isn´t even close to your status.

        - I don´t care about the titles. I would happily refuse my crown if it meant I could have you with me. I love you.- he confessed

        I was shocked to hear those words

        - No no no... you can´t love me. You don´t even know me!

        - I know everything that I need to know. I know you are a fighter, a warrior. I know that you´re a good person otherwise you would not come for my help during the attack. I know that you are the only thing that occupies my thoughts day and night. If that is not love than what is it?

        I couldn´t believe in what I was hearing, everything that I have ever dreamt is happening right in front of me...I just couldn´t believe it.

        - What about you´re father, the king? He would never approve of our union. - I said because I had to be realistic if anyone found out about our relationship, the king would have me kill. He wouldn´t let anyone come between his son and the crown.

        - I don´t care about my father. He doesn´t dictates who my heart belongs to. I might be the Prince but you are the one who rules my heart.

        My heart exploded from his words

        - Eric I..I...I´m not royal - I stutter

        - I don´t care - he said grabbing my face in both is hands

        - Your family will disapprove... - I tried to reason with him

        - I don´t care - he kept saying

        - Oh God this is do wrong... - I whisper

        - Is it so wrong? -he asks hearing what I just said - Don´t you love me?

        I look him in the eye and see so much love and lust reflected, how could I possibly not love this man?        

        - I do. I love you - I answer him, I could see that my answer was the right one because the way he look at me...it was like I was the only woman in the world.

        - Then there is no wrong, only right - he convince me - May I kiss you?

        My heart started beating  so fast from the words that he said but I didn´t have to think twice to give him my answer

        - Yes.

        Tenderly he joins our lips and it was like nothing I had ever felt before. There was so much raw passion in our kiss that I would be embarassed if happiness didin´t rule my mind. We were putting everything in our love, even if someone found out about our relationship I would not regret a thing because he was worth everything. Fate could only tell how this was going to end.
