"I'm going on a date tonight." Greer announces as she tries on dozens of new dresses
We're all seated in her room, listening to her talk about this man she met at the ball
"Ooh" Lola coos
I nod "What a wonderful thing Greer."
She smiles and nods
"King Theo's lord, Jack is it?" Kenna looks at me
I nod
"He's beautiful, I've never seen a man with such dark hair." She giggles
You can have him
But, I couldn't help but feel some sort of jealousy twist inside of me
"What about you Lola? Has any man caught your attention?" I try to change the subject
She shakes her head "No, not yet I'm afraid."
"You need to be more enthusiastic!" Kenna jokes
"Yeah, you're so shy." Greer agrees
I nod in agreement
She shrugs "It's a weird thing, you know? Falling in love, it's beautiful but deadly."
I take in what she had just said
Deadly
Immediately, what the darkness had said to me, I almost shiver
"I miss Theo already." I sigh
"He'll be back soon." Kenna says placing her hand over mine
*****************************
I make my way towards the dining room to meet Jack and David for dinner
I wear a pure white dress that flows at the end, I braid my hair to the side, on my feet are white heels and I wear a priceless diamond necklace that Theo got for me
I make my way into the dining room, David and Jack both look my way
"You look beautiful." David says to me as I sit next to him
I turn to him and smile "Thank you, what a nice thing to say."
I hear Jack scoff
I pick up my fork and start eating my mashed potatoes
"Let's play a game, shall we?" David asks
I nod "Of course, let's."
"Would you rather eat dirt or peas?"
I make a disgusted face "How do you know I hate peas?"
He chuckles "You never eat them," He points to my plate
My peas have been pushed to the side and I haven't even touched them
"But dirt is horrid." I laugh
"You have to pick." He chuckles, and his laugh is beautiful, it sounded happy and worry free
"Um, I would eat peas." I laugh so hard, I can barely talk
Our laughs die down and I ask
"Okay, okay my turn. Would you rather have a cat or dog as a pet?"
He ponders for a few seconds
"A dog, defiantly a dog."
I nod in agreement
"Jack, your turn." David looks to him
I almost gasp, I forgot Jack was still here, he was being so quiet
"Okay, Yasmine," He looks at me
I look him directly in the eyes as he says
"Would you rather me or Theo?"
My heart drops to my stomach, what?
"That's easy, Theo." I almost sneer
He smirks, pushes back his seat and walks out of the room
"He's strange." David says to me
I nod "He sure is."
*****************************
I put on my pajama pants, then I hear my doors being pushed open
Jack steps in
I almost scream and throw my arms over my bare chest
"Get out." I hiss
He shakes his head and comes closer to me
I look around to see if I can use anything to try to get away from me but every second I wasted looking for something that wasn't there, was every second he was coming closer to me
I back away and turn my face to the wall, but my arms were still covering my chest
"Don't hide from me." He's so close to me I can smell him, he smelled a little like Theo, the smell of mint
"Please Jack, please leave." I almost sob
He snakes his arms around me and presses his chin on my shoulder
"But, I don't want to leave. I want to be with you."
I stay quiet, hoping he'll leave any second
He forces me to turn around, but I keep my head down
"Look at me." He commands me
I shake my head and keep my eyes on the floor
He tilts my head back, keeping my chin in his fingers
He locks eye contact with me, and I can almost the alcohol in his breath
He wastes no time and crashes his lips against mine
I try to move away but my arms were still around my body so I couldn't do much
I move my head to the side but he grabs my face and kisses me again
He finally stops and looks at me, there was this longing in his eyes
"You n-need to leave." I shiver
He looks down and picks up my pajama shirt
He takes my arms away from me but he doesn't look at my chest, his eyes stay on mine
He dresses me in my shirt, then buttons it up
"Did someone see you come in?" I ask him
He looks at my hair and runs his fingers through it
"No, I made sure."
I slowly nod, the little things he does, like touch my hair or kiss my cheek. They make me go insane and I don't know why.
He kisses my jawline, then kisses my lips
"I want you, I want you so badly." He whispers
"But you can't. You and I both know that. So please, whatever you're tying to achieve, just stop." I say sternly
"But you and I both know I won't stop." He kisses me again
"Do you still want me to leave?" He asks
I shake my head
He smirks and kisses me, his hands coming up my shirt and grabbing my breasts
I gasp, his hands were so cold, he then puts his hands down my silk pants
"S-stop." I manage to croak out
His hands stop and he pulls them away
"You should probably leave." I turn away from him
"Anything for my queen." He hisses, then I hear my door close
He was gone
