Tatyana and Luke were chatting happily while enjoying their ice cream. She had some ice cream on her cheek and Luke leant in to wipe it off for her. She's really beautiful up close. Her vibrant green eyes are so alluring. Luke still held her cheek even if he had already wiped off all the ice cream. Tatyana closed her eyes so that Luke could get all the ice cream even if there wasn't any anymore. She suddenly heard a loud crash. Plates were broken all over the floor. When she looked up to see who it was, she saw Daryl standing in the middle of all that mess. She quickly got up and walked to him. Oh my goodness! Is he okay? What happened?
She took Daryl's hand and dragged him over to a sink in order to check if he had any wounds to wipe blood off. Daryl was quiet and didn't say a thing. He looked down to her face and saw her worry etched all over her face." Why didn't you come for lunch today?" He asked finally breaking the silence. She stopped looking and covered her mouth with her hand." Oh my goodness Dar- I mean your lordship! I completely forgot!" Daryl shook his head and stood up ready to leave." May I ask why you forgot?" He just wanted to know exactly what was happening." I met the new chef and I went over to greet him. He had a very strong personality and hasn't let anyone treat him worthlessly because he's from another kingdom. I went over to encourage him to go on with the same attitude and he offered me some of his ice cream saying it was one of his specialties and I accepted the offer. We talked and I guess time just flew by since I was having a good time. We even became friends. My deepest apologies your lordship." She finished and hung her head down. Good time you say? Don't you have a good time with me? "Well then, have a good time Miss Jones." He said and started walking away." Your lordship wait! Tatyana stood up and followed him to where he stood in front of Lukas." So, new chef, you are friends with miss Jones?" Lukas stood up and bowed down to him." Indeed I am your majesty." Daryl analyzed him for a second and left he looked at Tatyana to the last time with tears threatening to fall from his eyes. He walked out of the kitchen and went straight to his rooms." Tatyana, why does his lordship look down? Why did he ask me that question? Will he be okay? Did he have any wounds on him?" Tatyana just walked out of the kitchen and wandered around aimlessly up to the gazebo where she always sat with Daryl. Lukas was not even aware of what exactly was going on.
Daryl walked into his mother's rooms and dropped himself on her bed and groaned." Daryl, how many times do I have to tell you to not come into my room unannounced? *sigh*... How many times have I ever told you anything and you finally listened? On this very day Daryl Xander Fathom, I give up on teaching you proper manners." His mother complained while still brushing her hair. Daryl just groaned again in response. He and his mother just stayed quiet listening to the animals singing outside.
"Mom, am I not handsome?" He asked his mother." Of course you are my darling. You came out of my womb so it is a necessity for you to have good looks."
"Mom, is my personality not endearing?" The queen was quite shocked. His son had never came to ask her these kind of questions. Could it be that he's interested in some princess finally? He never called me mom. The last time I heard him call me that was when he was 11." Why are you asking me these questions sweetheart? Are you finally taking an interest to a princess? Or any female for that matter?" She asked trying to know why he was asking her these questions. Last time she checked, her son was a very self-confident young man.
"I'm sorry I intruded on your personal spaces mother. I shall now take my leave." He said and walked out of the room."*sigh* guess that chance is gone. He sure does know how to hide what he's feeling."
Daryl walked around the castle and found himself going to the gazebo where he always sat with Tatyana for lunch. Before he got there he saw a silhouette of a female sitting on one side of the table with her head down. He got a little close and recognized the wavy and curly brown hair. He slowly backed away." So you're avoiding me now? Well, it's about time I guess." Daryl sighed and went to sit down on the other side of the gazebo.
"I'm not avoiding you. I'm just upset okay?" He said and started wondering why she still hadn't raised her head yet." Then do you hate me? Like everyone else?" She said while still hanging her head down.
"No. I don't hate you Tats. I said I'm just upset." She finally raised and Daryl looked up to see tears running down her saver smiling beautiful face." You really don't...hate me?..... Cause I understand if you do." She said in between sniffles. Daryl felt his heart lurch at the sight of her sad face. He stood up and walked to Tatyana's side. He knelt down in front of her and used one hand to hold here's and the other to hold her face. She leaned on it and closed her eyes.
"Listen here Taty and listen good okay? Never ever forget this. No matter what, I will never hate you. I admire you so much. You're just sixteen but you have a great job, have your own house and only depend on yourself. I, on the other hand, am just mooching off of my parent's fortune. Get all this through your head. I'll always be by your side. Because I immensely care for you Tats. I'm so sorry I made you cry. I promise I'll never make you cry. I always want you to be happy and have a smile on your face and I want to be the reason for it. I'm so sorry Taty." He finished and stood up. He pulled Tatyana up and gave her a big, warm hug. Tatyana had never felt anymore comforted in her life and never more happy.
