Comments: Just a little scene that popped into my head...its doesn't really have a beginning it kind of starts in the middle....I hope you like it.
"Stop looking at me...stop giving me hope with one look and then tearing it away with another....just let me live my life Arthur....let me be Just a servant!" Guinevere tried to pull her arm from his tight grasp.
"I can't" his voice was broken, his blue eyes a brewing a storm...filled with emotions.
"Please" the tears no longer stayed in her eyes, but now warmed her cheek...she felt as if she were standing on the edge of a cliff, not wanting to fall but not wanting to live either. She was living a half life, with each day her heart died that little bit more and soon she suspected that there would be nothing left.
He reached out to brush her tears off and she turned her head. "Please" her voice broke and she could not bare to look into those eyes anymore.
"I cannot....I wish I could, I wish I could forget you!.....to let you go, but I cannot!" he turned her face to look at him and her brown eyes now focused on his. "I love you Guinevere...and to watch you from a distance, to not be able to touch you...to hold you in my arms is killing me!....but to let you go, to not lay my eyes on you....it!" Gwen watched as he closed his eyes "It would be unbearable" his words were soft, but the weight of them broke her heart.
"Arthur....you have a path to walk, that I cannot follow! I cannot stand on the sidelines of life anymore....I have to live it!" She reached up her shaking hand and touched his cheek, causing him to open his eyes. "I love you...I love you more than I thought was possible" she felt naked saying it....vulnerable. She watched as a tear now fell down his cheek and onto her hand.
"But I cannot stay...I cannot hold onto a dream, because that is where our love belongs Arthur....It belongs in fairy tales, not in reality" she reached up and placed a gentle kiss on his lips "Become the man I see inside Arthur...but do it for the love of Camelot, not for me!"
Arthur leaned down and placed his perfect lips on hers briefly.
"No Guinevere you are wrong I will not be that man without you by my side" he stroked her cheek, his breath tickling her lips. "Stay with me, I promise I will turn the fairytale into reality....just don't leave me to walk this path alone, I will not make it....please" another royal tear dropped onto her face.
She felt like he had just given her the final blow....she felt too weak to stay and too weak to leave. How did life happen like this, how did she fall in love with the golden sun! And not be able to touch it!
Her lips answered the question, of course she could not go...she had been a fool to believe she had the strength to walk away from him. The kiss was not short and sweet, but filled with fear, love and need. The sound of his golden crown dropping to the floor....did not stop the contact they had, she needed his lips, she needed to taste him, to feel the love he held for her. He pushed her against the wall, his hands travelling into her hair, pulling her closer to him.
He pulled his lips from hers ...her heart beat out of her chest, her body felt on fire. "Whatever it takes you will be my queen....whatever it takes Guinevere!"
She couldn't respond, she couldn't think of anything apart from Prince Arthur's perfect body pressed against hers, she should say something...protest, surely no women had the strength too say no to him!
Her head nodded and then his lips hungrily captured hers again.
