The royals and lords that weren't from the palace all left, going back to their castles or mansions
I sit on my throne, made of gold and silver
I watch as the servants clean up the mess that everyone has made
Theo was outside, saying goodbye to his friends and apprentices
I stand and walk down the two steps, and onto the ballroom white, marble floor
My heels making a clicking sound as they hit the floor
"Can I help with anything?" I ask the many servants who were cleaning
They all look up, astounded that I even talked to them
An older lady, with white hair spoke
"Of course not your majesty."
She wore a dress that was made of thick cloth, it was white, but dirt covered it and made it a kind of brownish color
I looked around and found myself getting sad, these people were only trying to make a living, they could at least have comfortable in their clothing
I made a note to myself to talk to Theo about this
I walk out of the ballroom and start making my way to Theo and I's bedroom
I see Jack walk into his room, and anger boils through my veins
I walk quickly to his doors and push them open with a hard force
I walk in and almost gasp
There he was, shirtless, hands on his belt, about to take it off. Signaling that he was about to take off his pants
He looks at me and I feel more anger than I have felt in a long time
I push at his chest
"I hate you." I say and push again
"Yasmine," Jack breathes and grabs my wrists, so I stop and look at him
Tears are in my eyes
"What's wrong?" He asks
I try to get out of grip, but it only tightens
"You're what's wrong." I say
"And why's that?" He asks
"You're ruining me, you know? You can't just kiss me and act like nothing happened."
"Oh but, you kissed me back, then even kissed me first, remember? You're just as guilty as I am."
He was right. And that's why I resented him so much, he always seemed to be right.
I shake my head
"Just stay away from me." I get out of his grip and start to walk away
He grabs me and pushes me against a wall
"You wanted it as bad as I did." He whispers into my neck
I whimper and push at his chest
"You're wrong."
He stands back a little and smirks
"You know, sometimes I wonder, do you even love Theo? You can't even look him in the eye without feeling some kind of guilt. I saw the way you danced with him tonight, it's clear that you're looking for something different."
I'm baffled.
"You know nothing. How dare you stand there and tell me on how I feel towards Theo? For your information, I love Theo more than anything. Today was a mistake, and I regret it." I almost hiss
He chuckles and shakes his head
"No, I don't think you do."
I roll my eyes "Then you're stupid."
"You're right, maybe I am stupid. But at least I'm not a cheater." His words sting my heart and make my stomach drop
No one has ever talked to me this kind of way. No one has ever hurt me like the way Jack had done just a second ago. He was such a hypocrite but he spoke the truth and that's why I despised him. But I didn't despise, him maybe I despise the thought of him. But I didn't hate him.
Tears fall from my eyes, even before I can try to stop them
His eyes soften as he sees my tears
He comes closer to me and wipes them away with his thumb
"I'm sorry." He whispers
I sob harder
He wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead
I stop crying and let my head fall on his shoulder
"I am stupid Yasmine, stupid for falling for you, but I can't help it." He whispers to me
"You have to forget about me, find someone else." I whisper back
"How can I? Look at yourself Yasmine, look how beautiful you are. No one comes close to you."
"You could find someone so much better than I. Someone who you could be with freely and not having to feel on edge all the time."
"No, I won't do it. I'll wait for all eternity for you." He says in a strong tone
He wraps his arms around my waist and pushes me into his chest
"I love you." He whispers
No, he doesn't.
I push away from him
"Stay away from me." I say sternly and walk away
*******************************************************
I walk into our room to find a shirtless Theo, standing
I run to him and throw my arms around his neck
He chuckles as I pull away
"My darling, what is it?" He asks
I shake my head and look down
He forces my chin up to I look at him
"Have you been crying?" His eyebrows furrow together
"I'm just, I'm so sorry, Theo." I start to cry
"Shh my precious darling." He picks me up and places me on the large bed
He moves a piece of hair from my face
"What are you apologizing for?"
"For the way I've been acting towards you, I should be more kind to you, but I haven't. I've been selfish."
I should be telling him that I kissed Jack and get on my knees and beg for forgiveness but I'm not. I have too much pride for that.
He smiles, a smile of relief and kisses me
He pulls away "You've been everything but selfish my love."
He kisses my tears and pulls me into his chest
"I love you for all eternity." I say
