Heart Desires (Rosewood Chronicles Jottie Fanfic)

8 Caught

Sir Olav just stood there, still trying to recover from the sight he saw, and told them that it was time to eat lunch. With that he left, maids giggling and whispering trailing behind him. They stood up and Jamie wiped the side of his mouth with his sleeve. Embarrassed because people saw his first kiss. His first kiss, goddamnit. He sighed with disappointment. He and Lottie stood up and he tried not to wince about his ankle. He can't be distracted. He just can't. He had Ellie to care about. Why did he kissed her? Why? Maybe she hated it? They walked quietly, once they reached, they took their places and ate in silence. Sir Olav kept giving glances to Jamie, with a frown etched on his face. After lunch, he called up to Jamie to follow him. Jamie heeded the order. Lottie sneakily followed them when Ellie did not see her. They went down a set of stairs into a dark basement looking place. She heard a shout from behind a pillar. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE PEOPLE FIND OUT?!" with that came a loud thump.

Lottie peeked to see Sir Olav and Jamie, who was on the floor. Sir Olav squated down and gave Jamie a painful slap. Sir Olav  boomed "Enough! I want to see you do the usual and add another 200 push ups, and lift 100 more weights. If I see you lagging..."he paused, taking out a whip and hitting it towards Jamie's shirtless back. The young boy didn't gave out any emotions and started with what Sir Olav told him. Lottie covered her mouth and ran back to her room.  She closed the door and slid down. She felt tears running down her cheeks and she can't stop it. She cried until her eyes were red and puffy, her lungs ached and her bottom felt sore from sitting on the floor for too long. She stood up and made her way to the bathroom. She freshened up her face and went to Ellie's room to find Jamie there too. Lottie froze in her tracks and swallowed a lump in her throat. "U-um. Hey E-ellie and um..J-jamie too. Haha...What're you doing here, uhm...Jamie?"Lottie stuttered, trying her best not to make eye contact with the boy. The image of Jamie and Sir Olav were still running through her head. But when she finally made contact with him. There was no sign of pain on his face. Lottie approached them slowly when Jamie whispered into her ear as she made her way to Ellie. "You saw, didn't you?" she squeaked like a little mouse.

"Um..yes."

Jamie sighed and told her "Don't tell anyone. It's between you and me." "Now that you saw" he added under his breath. Ellie's eyes widened. "Oh. My. God. Jamie. Were you watching p-" a hand slapped over the dark haired girl's mouth. Lottie glared at Ellie. "No, he wasn't. It was something else."

"Oh...so you saw him ma-" this time it was Jamie's hand who shut her mouth. "No, I do not do such things like...that" Jamie said, his voice cracking. Ellie pushed his hand away from her mouth. Ellie mumbled something which Jamie heard. "No, I am telling the truth. Let's not talk about it in front of this immature girl (Ellie)." Jamie said, rolling his eyes. They cut the subject and spent the rest of the day watching movies. When it was dark, Jamie carried Ellie to her bed, ignoring her snores. He then turned to see Lottie with her arms crossed. "So, tell me. What was all that about?" Lottie said, raising an eyebrow. He ignored her and stalked out of the room without another word. He heard footsteps clicking behind him. He knew this girl was stubborn. But not this stubborn. He quickly closed the door behind him and saw Lottie. For once, he screamed out of shock. Which made Lottie shocked, which she calmed down fast. "Tell me." she insisted for an answer. Defeated, Jamie just said he got hit once or twice with the whip and that's it. He walked away from her when he felt a tug at his shirt causing him to stumble a few steps back. She raised his shirt, making him fell cold gusts of wind. Lottie traced her finger along his injuries, making Jamie shiver. Not from the wind but from Lottie. Fortunately, she pulled back her hand and rushed out of the room.

And came back with a bottle. "It's Aloe Vera. It is quite affecting towards bruises and stuff like that. Oh, how is your ankle anyway?" she said while applying it to Jamie's back. "It's fine, I recover quickly." Jamie replied, slowly letting his guard down. His shouldered relaxed and his mind went blank. "There! All done. You might not wear any shirts until it dries though or else it'll get stuck to your clothes." Lottie advised. "You could have just told me you wanted to see me shirtless, Princess." Jamie said with a cocky smirk. He then stopped whatever he was doing and 1 question remained in his head. 'Where the heck did that flirtatious attitude come from?' He coughed a few times. And that was the signal for Lottie to leave his room. He knew his face was getting red and he knows why. Embarrassment. *yeah keep telling yourself that, Jamie*
