The Heir

Chapter seven

I wake to my maids opening the drapes and whispers. They are talking about the latest break in and me being pushed out of the window.

When they notice im awake they slowly help me stand. I scream it hurts to much, so they sit me down on my bed and dress me like that. once they dressed me, they help me to a wheelchair i have to use for two months.

Once they leave i grab a book and sit next to the window. The book isn't really a book its a play. The play is Romeo and Juliet. When i get to the part they meet Richard comes in.

"Hello miss." he says and sits down on my lounge.

"Hey Rich why are you being so up tight, Its just me." i say.

"I should have never done that. Its against the rules." he whispers.

"I wont tell anybody if you don't tell anybody. Its our own secret." i wheel over to him.

I put out my pinky to him, And he grabs mine with his "Deal, do you want me to wheel you around today?"

"Yeah can you take me to the gardens?" I ask.

"Sure thing." he smiles his big bright smile that takes your breath away.

-about ten minutes later-

We finally got outside and are walking (well im being wheeled he is walking) around the roses. They smell to fresh and light.

"Can we go sit on the bench over there?" I say pointing at a bench my mom said is when she first met father.

"Sure." and he wheels me over there and helps me sit on it facing the woods.

Once he has sat down he looks off into the trees. He looks so peaceful and content. So i take a deep breathe and gently grab his chin and kiss him. At first he doesn't kiss back, but then he grabs my waist and moves me closer to him and deepens the kiss.

Once we finish we just look at each other. He stands up and helps me up and puts me in the wheel chair. He walks to the music room. I wonder why he took me here?

He looks out the door to make sure no one is in the hallway and closes the door.

"Why?" He asks.

This is the only time i have no words.
