What If?

31

Ijekiel stayed silent for awhile. Unmoving. While I leisurely ate the cakes and drank my tea. In the end it was his descion and he doesn't really have too. But I know he does have goodness in him that he has kind heart. So he will marry her. He must have some feelings for her too. He's been by her side for a very long time.

"Before I agree, Princess, I need to tell you this." Ijekiel says looking at me again. I nod slightly for him to continue.

"The reason I approached and such after we met was because you were beautiful like an angel. You were very sweet to everyone even though you weren't treated the best. So smart too. It was nice talking to you because of how intelligent you were. Understanding what I was saying. That's the why I always approached you and tried to help you the best I could." Ijekiel explains. Wait, this sounds like a love confession or something!

"I like you Princess Athanasia. I don't ask for you to reciprocate my feelings for you. I know I don't deserve to be the one to stand by you but I still want to be a little selfish and at least be your friend if that is okay with you." Ijekiel confesses without even a flinch.

My face is so hot! I'm positive I'm blushing. I've never been confessed to before! How can he be so upfront about this without looking a little embarrassed? I don't even know what to say.

"W-Well, I am flattered?" I say with head down staring at my hands but it came out as more of a question. Well I don't really know if I am flattered? I only definatly know I feel embarrassed! A cough suddenly interrupted my thoughts as I look up at Ijekiel who breaks out into laughter.

Was he messing with me? How can he joke about something like that? How rude!

I just decided to sit there, waiting. As he laughed at me and I looked anywhere but at him.

"Your Highness," Ijekiel finally calms down a bit but a big grin was still on his face. "My confession wasn't a lie it was true. Just disregard it, I just had to at least tell you so you could understand why I bothered you in the past. I agree to marry Jeannette. But I ask that we can be friends." Ijekiel smiles his charasmatic smile at me.

"Yes, lets be friends Ijekiel." I tell him with a smile. I'm happy I got another friend.

"Well, I think it's time you should go. You've been here awhile your father might be looking for you now." I say standing up. "Yes, I suppose." Ijekiel agrees also standing up.

Ijekiel suddenly grabs my hand. "I'll see again soon hopefully, Princess." Ijekiel smiles as he raises my hand to his lips.

There was a brief knock on the door but before I could say anything the door swung open just as Ijekiel gave my hand a light kiss.

Lucas! I haven't seen him since we returned. As I went to over to him I realized he was none the less in a very bad mood making me stop in my tracks. This wasn't good. It was never anything to take lightly when Lucas was angry. He was silent now and I knew he was trying to control his anger at the moment. I glanced back at Ijekiel realizing he was still holding my hand.

I quickly snatched my hand away from his. "I think you should leave now." I tell Ijekiel. Ijekiel glanced between Lucas and I a few times. He wants to die I swear. He finally walked past Lucas and out the door.

But before he disappeared completely he stopped turning back to me with a mischievous smile. "I can't wait for us to spend some more time together, Princess. Just the two of us." Ijekiel says before walking away.

He has a deathwish.

I quickly rushed over to Lucas who was already begining to storm out of the room. He is too sensitive sometimes! I grabbed onto his arm pulling back to face me. Lucas just stared at me I could tell he was trying to contain himself. He knew that I hated when he was angry. Especially over petty things like this because he never knew the limit. This certainly wasn't the first time he has gotten riled up over something like this and when he lost it hell broke lose.

But in all honestly I always feel just very very little, very little good inside when I saw him like this.

A smile crept on my lips as I saw Lucas was calming himself down all for me. Only for me.

Lifting my hands I grabbed onto his long beautiful ebony hair pulling him down towards me, kissing him. For just a very short few moments. I began pull away from him but I didn't even get even close to an inch away before Lucas slammed his lips back onto mine. So aggressive.

Just wanted let you all know I do plan on finishing this story. I already have the final arc with the ending in my head and I'm really really excited for it! Little nervous too hehe. Hope you continue to enjoy!
