Flashback
Elizabeta's POV
"No! I will not marry Devon! He's a pig!" I shout at my parents.
My stupid parents told me they want me to marry Devon Devereux and that they have already talked to his uncle that takes care of him. I'am beyond angry. I'm fucking pissed.
"Honeybee he's rich, he can take care of you especially when your father and I aren't here anymore to do it." My mother tells me.
"And I have talked to the boy. I think he will be a great fit for you. He promised he will take care of you." My father admits.
I groan angrily at my mother and father. How could they do this to me?
"What the fuck! Don't I get a say in anything? It's my life that your controlling here. I'am old enough to make my own decisions!" I scream.
"Honey your single and a high priestess. All high priestess's of Hekate I have ever met where married before they turned 21. And honey you are 21 and still single, we needed to find you someone." Mother explains.
"That's because I wanna marry for love! I told you this! I'm still single because I haven't found the one yet!" I bellowed out to her.
"Exactly your still single so that's why we found someone for you. You will grow to love him. And stop this nonsense about soulmates, they don't exist." Mother argued.
"Your mothers right Elizabeta. You gotta stop this nonsense and marry Devon as we planned." Father demanded.
"I....I hate you!" I scream at them. Before they could say anything back I bolt out the door and head straight to the forest where a dandelion field lays beyond it.
While running through the forest my mind replays the argument over in my head. I can't believe they would do this to me. When I first told them I wanted to marry for love they understood. But now! Now they don't care.
While I'm running I'm deep in my thoughts and didn't see the ankle in front of me. I was running so fast that when I tripped on the strangers ankle I hit the ground fast and hard.
My arms landed in front of my chest, blocking the ground from making contact with my ribs but my forehead collided with the ground as did the rest of my body. I groan in pain from my head hitting the ground when a voice came from beside me.
"Oh my goddess, miss I'am so sorry." He says as he helps turn me over onto my back. I'm still disoriented and my vision is blurry.
When he gets a full view of my face he realises who I'am. "High Priestess, I'am so sorry for accidentally tripping you. I was going to town to deliver the wheat when the wheel on my wheelbarrow broke and-" his voice becomes distinctive when my blurry vision straightens and I look at the person who was talking to me.
I remember him. He's the guy I've been stealing glances at. When I first saw him from afar I thought of how handsome he was. Now that I see him up close, I'am breathless. He's so handsomely beautiful. Not that he isn't from faraway but now that I have seen him up close, I'am speechless.
His head turns back to me that was previously looking at his wheelbarrow while he explained why he was kneeling down with his ankle out that ended up tripping me.
When our eyes connect, I feel something snap into place. It was unlike anything I have ever felt before. While looking into his beautiful green eyes, I finally feel complete.
I think he feels it too because when our eyes connected his talking stopped and he stared into my eyes like I did his.
I reach my hand up to caress his cheek but once I touch him, my whole body fills with happiness and joy. I caress his cheek and lean close to his face.
"D....Do you feel it?" I ask him.
"The overwhelming joy and happiness I feel right now? Yes I feel it. Why is that?" He asks.
"I don't know. It's strange, I've never felt anything like this from another person." I admit.
"So have I." He replies while he caresses my cheek as I do his.
Minutes pass while we look into each others eyes, admiring each others beauty but also trying to decipher why we feel this from one another.
Antony's POV
I can't believe I tripped over our towns High Priestess over with my stupid ankle. I hate how big I'am. The towns people even share my dislike with my body. I'am fucking huge compared to everyone.
But as I stare into the High Priestesses eyes I feel content. I feel like I belong. When she touched me I was filled with happiness and joy. I don't know why.
But all of sudden I got the overwhelming urge to kiss her but I pulled my face away from her and her caress so I don't end up doing something that might get me slapped across the face. I straightened my back and helped her off the ground.
"Again High Priestess I'am so sorry for tripping you." I apologise.
"It's okay um my name is Elizabeta so please no need to call High Priestess." She announces.
Her name is beautiful, just like her.
"Oh ah are you sure?" I ask while we stand in front of each other.
She nods. "So what was wrong with your wheelbarrow as you were saying before?" She asks.
"Oh ah the wheel on my wheelbarrow broke and I was trying to fix it but I ended up tripping you instead." I admit as she laughs at my admittance.
"Hahaha ah yes, that's right." She chuckles. "Here let me help you." She says walking over to my wheelbarrow and kneeling down in front of the wheel.
"Oh no you don't have to do that. I can do it." I say nervously while I rub the back of my neck.
"It's no trouble." She says as she waves her hand and the wheel magically fixes itself back into place.
I sigh in relief. Thank god it's fixed or the owner of the wheelbarrow would've killed me for breaking it.
"Thank you so much." I say as she gets up off the ground. I run over to help her up but when I reach her she's already standing and I'm left standing in front of her looking like an idiot who ran to her for no reason. I mentally slap myself.
She looks up into my green eyes again and I'am left transfixed by her own set of blue orbs. I'am once again filled with the overwhelming urge to kiss her but before I could back away, she caresses my cheek again and stands on her tippy toes to plant her lips on mine.
When her lips landed on mine I was shocked at her forwardness, and the euphoria that filled my body as her lips touched mine.
I kissed her back as my arms snaked around her, holding her body close to me. Little did she know I have always wanted to do this with her. Ever since I first saw her I was astounded by her beauty and have been stealing glances at her everyday ever since.
Her arms that snaked around my neck while we kissed start to pull back and our make out stops, unfortunately.
She pulls back from our kissing and looks into my eyes again. "I'am sorry if I went too far. I couldn't help myself." She says stepping away from me.
"No, no it's okay." I say grabbing her hand as she pulls away from me. "That kiss was amazing."
She looks up at me with hope in her eyes as she smiles. "Really?" She asks.
I nod then I give her a quick peck on the forehead. "Will you do me the honour of walking with me back to town so I can deliver this wheat and then take you on a date?" I ask.
"Are you trying to court me... uh?" She's says cheekily.
"My name is Antony and yes, I'am trying to court you" I tell her.
"Then my answer is yes." She says as she smiles. I smile back, then I walk around to my wheelbarrow to pick it up and start moving it towards town as Elizabeta walks beside me.
This has been the best day of my entire life.
The wheelbarrow is fixed and I get to take a breathtakingly woman on a date.
I have a feeling this woman is gonna bring me nothing but happiness. That I'am sure of.
