"Was it because i wasn't here?"
"No no not at all" She didn't want Lorien to feel bad "I just wasn't hungry.
"Well then let's have dinner together"
"Okay" She smiled brightly.
We both got out of bed and Lorien took notice of the books placed on the table.
"Do you like to read?" he asked.
"No not really, I was just bored"
"Oh i never really thought about that" he said more to himself.
Lorien had been waiting for the day he would get married since his father told him he had arranged, he had plan everything, he got her new clothes, jewelrys, shoes and more that she didnt have to worry about.
But he didn't think far ahead that she would be bored indoors, Of course when he's always busy with royal duties. Why wouldn't she be bored.
"Do you want to go out with me tonight?"
Her face lit up and she nodded eagerly.
Sapphire asked Kate to bring her some common clothes, she didn't want to go out with her royal dress.
When they were both ready, Lorien led her to the stable in the palace
"Why are we here" Sapphire asked
"To take my horse, we're going for a ride"
Lorien's horse was a black stallion.
"Can you ride?" Lorien asked.
"No" she looked down embarrassed.
"Okay then you wil ride with me" he smiled at her. That smile of his brought butterflies to her stomach.
******************************
Lorien helped me up on his horse and we rode out of the castle, he was riding so fast i held onto him from the back. Sometimes i would hold his waist so tight i wondered if he could breathe.
"Am i riding too fast?"
"No"
But he was actually riding too fast for me. He took me to the market and bought us some street food. Then, we rode to a lake, the lake extended as far as the eye could see. It was soothing and beautiful.
"It seems you come here often" I said looking around fascinated.
He did; he liked coming here whenever he wanted to be alone.
"Yes, come with me" he took my hand and dragged me. I followed him quietly.
There, stood the most beautiful tree i had ever seen, it looked magical but what kind of tree was this? i didn't know.
"Isn't this tree beautiful?" he asked turning to me.
"It is "
"I know" he looked at me letting his ocean blue eyes rake my body from my white hair to my legs.
I turned to him "The tree is beautiful Lorien"
"But you are more beautiful and your hair makes you more outstanding"
I blushed.
"Has your hair always been this color?"
"Yes" i replied. My hair has always white since when i was born.
"I love it"
"Your hair is also beautiful and i love it"
"Not as nearly as yours" he smiled.
"You are so kind"
" You really think so?"
"I know so" i smiled at him.
He came closer until he stood in front of me.
He put his arm around my waist and brought me closer to his chest. I knew what he was about to do and i wanted it and much more.
He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. The touch was soft, gentle and passionate. It wasn't just a short kiss but a long one that knocked all the air out of my lungs. He pulled back in time as i tried to catch my breath but i wanted more.
"Why won't you let me have you" he said.
I looked up at him confused.
"Nevermind, lets go sit down" he said before i could reply.
We sat down on the soft grass and i rested my head on his shoulders, he put his arms around me bringing us closer. I liked that, i was slowly falling for this man. And i could see in his eyes that he was feeling the same.
"Sapphire"
"Yes"
"What would you say if i tell you i have to go to war"
