Okay, okay, you know the drill none of this is mine except for the plot so don't sue me for anything ok.
Intro: This Story starts in the Autumn at the beginning of Kel and Neal's second year as squires so Kel is 15 and Neal is 20, Joren is beginning his fourth year as a squire and is about 17.
Confusion
Kel was returning from a tilting session with her knight master, Sir Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak. Being the size he is, Sir Raoul constantly knocked Kel from her saddle. As she turned into the corridor where her room was, she was checking her arms for bruises. Hearing knocking she looked up and saw someone knocking at her door.
It was Joren of Stone Mountain, a Fourth year Squire. She cleared her throat loudly and he turned to stare.
"There you are," he said, no hint of malice in that beautiful voice of his, "I've got to tell you something."
"Fire away," was Kel's reply.
"Well, you know how I kind of hired those two men to... well ... kidnap your maid... well... I did it for Vinson in revenge for what that b- I mean maid did to him with the sparrows and all. You do understand that I'm not like Vinson, I don't want revenge for anything-"
"This is Joren I'm talking to, right?" Kel asked, suspicious,
"Look," he said, suddenly uncomfortable, "Can we continue our conversation in your room?"
"Ok," Kel replied, she moved, opened the door and went inside, Joren followed her, "But I think I'll leave the door ope-" she was cut of by Joren's closing of the door, "Ok, door closed, continue then."
"Well... what I really came to say was... well... I really like you Kel, the thing with... you know when we were pages that... well... I didn't like you being a page, I still don't but somehow through all that I really like you and want you to trust me again."
"Again," Kel repeated, "Well, I never actually trusted you before, and I heard this kind of speech coming from your mouth before Lalasa was kidnaped . I don't see how I can trust you this time after what happened a year ago b-"
"Say no more," he said, somewhat hurriedly, "I wanted to give you something to help prove myself to you." And with that he swept Kel into a very passionate kiss, which startled her completely so she had closed her eye's but she reopened them and suddenly she was sinking in those beautiful blue eyes and had started to kiss back when she came to her senses and pushed Joren off herself, opened the door again and pushing him out the door mumbled about getting ready for lunch and thinking about what he had said. She closed the door and leant against it. After a minute she stripped and slipped into her bath to have a soak before lunch. While she soaked, she contemplated what had just happened.
Joren stood and stared at the door for a minute considering his next move. Suddenly a smirk spread across his face and he walked off looking very pleased with himself.
Kel couldn't decide whether or not to tell Neal and the others. After some time nothing else concerning Joren had happened so she let it go. This was a big mistake.
