Elen was in her room all dressed up. She was looking like a fairy princess. Her blonde hair and amber eyes were making her look like a goddess. Anyone who would take a glance at her would think of her as a goddess who emerged from the heavens.
Ellie gasped at the sight she saw. This...this was simply breathtaking. The princess had transformed from a beautiful lady into a stunning_ no, stunning is not the perfect word. She had transformed into a breathtaking goddess.
The maids were gone except for Amara. Elen had told her to stay, so the maid could only obey.
"Elen, you look breathtaking...I can bet your prince will fall for you at first sight." Ellie teased
Elen face had now turned darker from the mention of the prince. She dismissed Amara, so they were left alone.
"What's wrong Elen? you're supposed to be happy, today is your wedding...okay, I can tell that you're just nervous, these things happen. Just stay calm and be cool." Ellie said.
"You don't understand, Ellie. This marriage is nothing but an arranged one. It's not only that, I heard rumors about him. It's not good rumors either. I'm scared....what if they actually turn out to be true? What then?...." Elen said, she wanted to cry but she couldn't ruin her makeup. Her maids had done a great job in dressing her, and not only that, she didn't want her mom to get worried. That were the only things that refrained her from bursting out and crying. She really needs to get a grip of herself, else she'll break down.
"Take a chill pill princess...the rumors might not be true, they just made it up to tarnish his reputation...you know most kingdoms don't like some princes, so maybe their just spitting lies out....who knows, your husband might be a handsome prince and then you'll fall for him at first sight..." She teased trying to lessen the already tensed atmosphere.
"That's not going to happen...I'm not going to fall for him, Ellie."
"Well, it's not impossible too. Even some arranged marriage lead to love that you'll think they loved each other from the start." She said, trying to encourage her.
"How do you know that?" Elen asked.
"Mmm...my parents are good examples, they did not love each other when they got married...but I heard from my mother that within the two weeks they spent together, she already fell head over heels for him, and it was the same for my father too." Ellie said.
"You really don't have to be scared, it's not as if you're going for a death sentence, you're getting married for goodness sake...so please cheer up." Ellie pleaded and Elen could only give in. This girl was acting way more than her age. Maybe it's because she's experienced life more than her and that's why she has knowledge in almost everything. Elen thought
They chatted for what felt like almost a long time, until Amir barged into the room like something really big had happened, but knowing Amir, nothing really happened. He just finds fun in exaggerating matters.
"Amir, you're not supposed to be here! No one is allowed to see the princess except for the ladies, so please leave before someone sees you." Ellie said
"And who said I came to see Elen, I have tonight to see her, so obviously I did not come for Elen...I came for you." He said which caused Elen to roll her eyes. He is always looking for opportunities to frustrate her!!
"What do you need me for?!!" She said, clearly irritated with this boy's behavior.
"You just said I can't afford to be seen, so why don't you just come with me." He said
Ellie glanced at Elen and she nodded, causing her to sigh in frustration. This Amir....how did the princess cope with such a pest?!! She glared at him for a moment which made him chuckle.
She hugged Elen and told her not to think of anything else except for her wedding tonight.
She stomped our of the room. It made Amir's smile to widen more. It took him all of his restraint not to laugh at her actions.
They finally left, leaving Ellie alone. Her mind wandered far away that she didn't notice someone's presence in her room.
.....
"Why did you bring me out, huh?!!" She asked Amir but he was speechless causing her already built up anger to almost reach it's peak... " Answer me, or else you'll regret it!!" She yelled at him making him give her those annoying smirks..
"I would like to see you make me regret it." He said in a calm voice.
This boy, he was simply annoying. How did the Elen manage to cope with him. He acts so sheepishly. Though he's a year older than Elen, he still isn't mature enough.
As if a realization struck her, her angry face now turned into a wicked grin which made Amir's smirk disappear and was now replaced by a frown.
'ohh, I'm going to make you regret pulling me away from Elen." She said in her head as she flashed him a seductive look.
What?!! Did he see well? Is she trying to seduce him? Has she finally given in to him? Ohh, this is good then. He didn't know it would be this easy!! He subconsciously licked his lips as he stared at her.
Just when he was about to utter a word, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the corridor where the king and his father was. 'This is a good place to execute my plan.' She thought. He followed her thinking she had already given up and she now wants to be with him. Amir gave her a mischievous smirk but she ignored it.
She glanced at him and gave him that wicked smirk again which Amir mistook for her seduction techniques. 'When I'm done with you, you won't ever cross paths with me for no reason.' She told him in her head.
They reached the corridor and she started to execute her plan. 'you want me to give myself to you right? But before that happens you'll think twice.' She thought silently.
She moved closer to him and wrapped her hands around his neck. Amir was thrilled, it was finally happening!! She's finally going to give herself to you Amir!! But why does she have to do this here?! He thought but brushed it off because she was starting to move her lips close to his nape.
Oh, his body was burning with desire, he was finally going to be with her!!
She kissed his nape and then moved her lips to his face, their lips were almost touching, just one more inch and their lips would crash against each other. Amir was starting to get impatient, he wanted to kiss her damn bad!! and she was making it so slow. He couldn't take it any longer, he wants to taste her lips, just one taste.
In the next second, his lips came crashing on her's. He kissed her with raw hunger and desire. She tasted so heavenly, so sweet. He didn't want to stop. He wants to eat her whole but before he could even do all those things, Ellie pulled away. Why did she pull away? He tasted her and she tasted so sweet. He's never gotten anything like that before. That's no wonder he is doing silly things just to get her. Well, it was worth it because she finally kissed him.
She was about to leave the place but Amir caught her wrist and pulled her closer to his body.
'good. My plan is going just as I expected.' She thought and she gave him that wicked smirk again.
"Why don't you come with me?" He said with that his seductive voice.
"Really?" She said and he nodded
She shook her head and tried to get free from his hold but his grip was too strong. 'Oh, Helena...luck is on your side today because your plan is going just smoothly. Good job Ellie!!' She commended herself.
She tried one last time but he wasn't letting go. 'you brought this upon yourself Amir, and I'm going to give it to you.' She said silently.
"Ahhh!!" She yelled, catching everyone's attention. Including the king and his father.
'Now they'll do the remaining job for me.' She said silently.
Lucid and Titus walked towards the both.
"What's going on here?" Titus asked causing Amir to flinch. That is the voice his father uses whenever he is angry. Oh no!!! He thought.
"I told him to let go off me but he didn't want to listen...and he hurt my wrist now." She said as she pretended to cry.
Amir was speechless. Was this her plan all along? When she said she'll make him regret it, he thought she was just bluffing. But she was damn serious!! Oh Amir, what have you gotten yourself into?!! But it was worth it because he had kissed her even if was just part of her plan. He finally got the chance to kiss her.
When he realized he was still holding her tight, he let go off her.
"Amir!!!" Titus yelled that even Ellie flinched. Was this really a big problem? Why did she have to go this extreme?!! She should have just let it slide. Why did she have to payback?
She was now feeling guilty of her actions, she didn't know why, but she did not like it when his father yelled his name out like that.
She turned to Titus. " It's doesn't really hurt. The pain is gone now. He's learnt his lesson now... please don't get angry at him." She pleaded.
"But it doesn't justify the fact that he h_"
"Titus, just let them be...they'll settle their differences later. We have more important things to deal with now... like Elen's wedding." He said
The man could only sigh. He glared at Amir giving him one of those looks that said 'it's not over yet'.
When the two men left, Ellie sighed in relief. That was close. She thought. Wait! Why was she doing these things? Why did she help him? Ellie shook her head to remove any thoughts about him but it did not work. This was really frustrating. How could he annoy her like this, even without doing anything. She needs to leave this place or else she might go crazy.
She left him standing in the corridor looking dumbstruck. What just happened?!! Why did she save him?? This girl is just getting unbelievable by the day. He smiled as his mind drifted back to the kiss. When did he even start doing this kind of things all because of some girl? She wasn't the first girl he kissed, so why is he feeling different now?
He shook his head and a smile curved up his lips. What did she do to him, to make him feel this way all because of a kiss??
