Chapter 1
Out of everyone, why did I fall for him? He's a tin man, an ex-tin man, but a tin man, nonetheless. He says he has no heart, but I know he does, even if he will never admit it. I see the way he looks at me, a look of want. I wish he would admit how he feels because I want him too. I can't love him, he just found out his wife is dead and discovered that his son is alive. What kind of person am I?
"DG." I hear him say, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, Mr. Cain." I say.
"Are you okay, you look upset, I'm worried about…"
"Please don't act like you care, when we both know that you don't."
"DG, what are you talking about?"
"Never mind, it's nothing." Great, why do I have to start crying now?
"Then why are you crying, please tell me what's wrong."
"I told you it's nothing!"
"You know it's not nothing, no one cries over nothing, did I do something wrong, is that why your not telling me what's wrong."
"No, it's not you, its me, it's these feelings that I shouldn't be having."
"What shouldn't you be feeling?"
"These feelings…for you, it's not right, you're mourning over your wife. You just found out your son is alive and all I can do is think about being with you. I know it's selfish and wrong, but I know I've seen the way you look at me. I know you are older than I am and no one will understand or like us being together, but I can't help how I feel. I ask myself why did I have to fall for a tin man, who says he has no heart, but I know he does because I see through the mask you put on for everyone else. I know I shouldn't feel this, and that you could never return the feelings. Please tell me you don't hate me."
"DG, shut up."
Then he grabbed my shoulders and slowly pulled my face toward his. We were just inches away and after what felt like an eternity his brushed against mine. It was like an electric shock went through my body. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach and my heart pounding in my chest. I felt his tongue brush against my lips seeking entrance. When I opened my mouth his tongue immediately started dancing with mine, each fighting for dominance. Finally, we parted from the lace of air.
"You know how long I've wanted to do that." He says trying to catch his breath.
"Why did you wait until now?" I ask with curiosity.
"Afraid. I was afraid you didn't feel the same way I did that I had mistaken your feeling for something else. I feel so guilty about having feelings for you, I should be mourning over my wife, but I cannot bring myself to mourn for her. I thought she was dead for eight years and then I thought she was alive, but that day you put your hand on my shoulder to try to comfort me when I saw her grave, my heart started beating faster and I knew that I had moved on a long time age. I feel as if I'm taking advantage of you, you are so much younger than I am, you're almost the same age as my son, and it makes me feel so guilty. Ever since that day, all I've thought about is you…"
"Then why didn't you say anything, just because you're older than me, what does that matter, it doesn't matter to me. I was always told, you cannot help who you fall in love with, and now I know that's true. I love you."
"I love you too, DG."
He cupped my cheek and he kissed me gentler than the last time. I know I cannot leave after this; there is no turning back now. What will we do, no one will understand our love for each other, a princess and a tin man, and no one will accept this. People will look down upon me because I fell in love with him, but I don't care. I would give it all up just to be with him. Eventually, they will have to accept us, but it will have to remain our secret, for now.
"You know, we will have to keep this a secret, no one can know, for now. They will never understand our love for each other. A princess and a tin man, no one will accept this, but I'll leave it all behind just to be with you. Are you willing to give everything up just to be with me?" I say trying to hold back the tears, but failing miserably.
"Yes, I've known from the beginning no one would understand our love for each other, but we will get through this together, no one will come between us." He says while wiping away my tears.
He's right; we will get through this together. They will have to accept us because I love him and he loves me. No one will come between us. I will not let anyone ruin this one chance at happiness; I will fight for him.
