And that's where I'm now, having the most awkward dinner of my life. Since Olympia started staying in the castle with us, my mother had been giving us disapproving looks, but weirdly enough she had never said anything about it. I knew she didn't like seeing us together, not as friends and much less as a couple.
Today she seemed more irritated by us than usual, as if something had happened that had made upset. What if she saw us kissing in the library? Was it possible that we had left the door open? I couldn't remember it, but if she did see us this would be a nightmare.
Luckily she didn't say a word during the whole dinner and remained silent as me and Olympia decided to go off to bed. We walked the corridors in silence until we reached my room. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked her in the eyes. Opening my mouth to say something no words words would come out.  Her face, her eyes, everything about her made me want to kiss her, to touch her, to be by her side, and as had happened in the library I felt a force pulling us together, I longed for her lips, and felt starved for her touch. I pulled myself together though, and spoke.
"Can we talk about what happened in the library?"
She blushed and it only made her more stunning.
"Well, what is there to talk about? You kissed me, and I kissed you back, because I like you. And I was wondering if you liked me too?" When she finished speaking she looked so vulnerable, and all I wanted to do was hold and protect her, tell her I liked her so much, and that I was so thankful to have her in my life. So I decided to kiss her, and the kiss was long and messy and wild, because I just wanted to be with her now. We kissed until we ran out of breath and looking at me she said "I'll take that as a yes".
The next few weeks were like the perfect cheesy, romantic teenager movie. We kept our relationship secret from my parents, making every moment alone with her exciting and dangerous. Every night we would go on long walks by the castle gardens, and even though I knew I could have her, everytime our hands touched I still felt electricity running through me.
We trusted her so much that after a while, she became the person who knew me best. And don't get me wrong, I love Jeremy with all my heart, but he could never truly understand my life and how I felt, like Olympia could.
Everything between us was great, but as the days grew longer and summer came closer, it would be time for my supposed arranged marriage, and we had avoided that topic as best as we could, not even my mom dared bring it up. No one outside the castle knew Olympia was there, and my wedding to the Phinadas's Kingdom child had been announced to the whole kingdom, just not the part where the supposed prince was a princess.
