I woke up thinking about Whit again. Why can't I just forget about him!! I have a fiance , I can't be in love!! As much as I hate her, I still have to marry her. I'm in love with Whit, but I can't be. It might hurt him…But am I really in love? My feelings are just as confused as yesterday.
The next three weeks passed. I saw Whit everyday, and I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I still was making up my mind about whether or not I was in love with Whit, until the cold Thursday of the third week.
" Hi, Daku!!"
It's mid-morning, the start of Whit's shift here. I forgot …
" Uh, h-hi Whit…"
I couldn't help but to blush at the sight of him.
"Are you ok? You're a little red,"
" Y-yeah, I'm, I'm alright,"
" Are you su- DAKU!!"
A large cabinet almost fell on me, until Whit grabbed me , pushing me to the side. I was awfully close to him, His arms were tightly wrapped around me. We both fell to the ground in that same position.
" Daku, are you-mhm!!"
I kissed Whit. Why did I just do that? What does he think about this? I screwed up bad…
" …Daku…"
I started crying lightly. He doesn't love me…he never will…
" Daku, you're getting married soon!! We've been planning for three weeks, and we've got nothing done- what happened here?" My father walked in.
Whit and I both got up.
" The cabinet almost fell on me. Whit saved me,"
I looked at Whit, he smiled then looked at his feet.
"Well, thank you, Whit. Daku, we have work. "
" Ok,"
I tried not to make it obvious that I was crying. I followed my father.
" Oh, Daku Miseron !! There you are !! You're marrying my daughter!! I'm so glad to be finally meeting you!! I'm Rosealine Rozedale,"Said a lady with curly brown hair, and the same dark blue eyes as Eleanora. It was her mother.
" Yes I am,"
" Are you excited to marry my daughter ?"
" Well…"
Whit walked in, he was dusting things. We kept looking at each other, but then immediately looking away.
" Oh, I see how it is…" Rosealine said. What did she mean by that? " Come here , Daku."
She pulled me away by the arm. She stopped walking in the next room over.
" That boy with the orange and yellow hair. Who was he,"
" Um, that's Whit. He's a - a servant here,"
" I knew that much. Are you by any chance in love with him?"
My face started turning really red.
" No! No, where'd you get that idea?"
I nervously put my hand on the back of my neck.
" I saw the way you looked at him,"
" fine, fine. I'm in love with him!! But I'm not sure that he loves me,"
" Oh, he does."
" Why do you say that?"
" Because of the way he looked at you,"
" He , he looked at me?"
" When you were looking away. Me smiled at you too,"
I smiled.
" He, he did ?"
" He did. Don't worry. I'll talk my daughter into not marrying you,"
" You would do that?"
" I'll help you. True love only comes once,"
" Thank you,"
" Have you kissed him?"
" I have, once. He didn't know how to react."
"I'm sure he liked it."
" Really?"
" He looked really in love with you, so yes.
I smiled at the floor. Was she right? I hope she is.
" I'll talk to my daughter now,"
"Thank you again, I'm in debt to you,"
She left. I was relieved, but Eleanora was determined. I hope this works…
Eleanora found me.
"Eleanora," I said with an annoyed voice.
"We have to plan for our wedding,remember?"
" um , your mother wanted to see you," I thought I'd help shorten the process.
" Ok, where is she?"
" Not sure. She's around here somewhere,"
" Why are you being so friendly with me all of a sudden?"
" I'm not. I was just helping your mother."
" O-ok,"
She left. I really hope that Rosealine can talk her out of it.
"Daku," it was Whit. Is he mad at me for kissing him?
" Uh, yeah?"
" I liked it,"
" you Liked what?"
"Your kiss,your lips are soft,"
I blushed more.
" I liked it too,"
He walked closer to me and whispered into my ear,
" Do It again,"
" You didn't have to ask," I whispered back.
I kissed him again. It was a longer kiss this time; It felt perfect. I finally realized that I love Whit, and I don't care if I have a stupid fiance.
" Wait, This is wrong. I use light magic, and you're literally the prince of dark magic! We can't be in love…"
" What happened to your usual blissful self? None of that matters , because I love you,"
" Don't get your hopes up, Daku. You'll find someone who loves you more, I promise."
He kissed me again, then started walking away.
" Whit!!Wait!!"
" My shift is over! And the eye potion should be wearing off soon!"
" Ok,"
Once he left, I fell to the ground crying. Does he really love me? He doesn't love me…but he might? I don't know!! I love him so much but he doesn't love me!! Why would he ever love me , anyway …
" Daku, are you alright?" It was my fiance.
" Eleanora, go away…"
I got up off the ground and wiped the tears off my eyes.
I ran towards my bedroom.
" Daku!! Where are you going?!?!"
" Don't talk to me!!!"
I went into my bedroom and locked the door with a spell. I started bawling. I want Whit…I really want to love him. That's all I want, but I can not receive.
