I told you didn't I
~…X…~
"Okay, let's go now." Prince Joshua said he was slowly losing his patient as he watches Prince Keith and Prince Roberto bickering with each other about how to catch Lucian.
"I say to just tackle her in the swimming pool!" Prince Keith shouted. "She doesn't know how to swim remember! It'll be easier for us and it won't waste our time!"
"But that is mean of us to do!" Prince Roberto protested, raising his arms up in the air with the water gun in his right hand. "Do you want Lucian to hate us?!"
"…" Prince Wilfred was just looking back and forth at the two Princes. I think it's a good idea to tackle Lucian in the swimming pool but I don't want her to hate me…she can hate the other princes though, I don't mind about that one, he thought before letting out a small sigh. How am I going to catch Lucian?
"You two, please stop arguing with each other." Prince Edward said he was standing in between Prince Keith and Prince Roberto. He turned his head to the side towards Prince Keith, "Prince Keith, your idea is terrible, we do not want Lucian to hate us and I'm sorry if I offended your idea. But I do not think that it's right."
"Oh come on! She's not going to hate us!" Prince Keith said rolling his eyes. "There wasn't any rule that says that we can't tackle her in this game."
"I'll go along with your idea Prince Keith as long as Lucian doesn't get mad at me or hate me." Prince Glenn said his arms crossed over his chest. "She can hate you, I don't mind about that one."
"Hey!" Prince Keith shot his head towards Price Glenn, "Was that an insult?!"
"No." Prince Glenn said, with a deadpan look.
"Can we just go?" Prince Joshua said, "We are wasting our time arguing here."
"Fine, but we still need a plan to capture Lucian." Prince Keith said turning his head towards Prince Joshua. And I'll still go with tackling her to the water.
"We don't need a plan. If we see Lucian, then just do anything to catch her." This time it was Prince Wilfred who spoke. Wait but I did say that I was going to catch Lucian no matter what, I can't let the other princes catch her.
Somewhere in the castle Lucian was just sitting down on the floor resting.
Lucian's POV
Maybe I should just go to my room, I…somehow don't feel comfortable playing this game anymore for some reason. What Prince Wilfred said to me back there about him catching me kind of freaked me out a little bit. Especially when he kissed me on my cheek just made it worst for me. I can't even think straight right now. The more I think about it the more I become fluster inside. Okay I made up my mind; I'll just go back to my room, I stood up on my feet and patted my dress.
Just when I was about to take a step forward I heard the sound of footstep coming towards me. "…" I bit my lower lips and my eyes narrows slightly as I listened to the sound very carefully. My eyes slowly grew when a certain blonde hair turns to the corner of the hallway facing me. Prince Wilfred.
"Oh." Prince Wilfred stops when he saw me standing a few feet away from him and he blinks his eyes, tilting his head side way, "You were here?" He asked before turning his head back down the hallway making sure that none of the other princes were there. "You didn't go that far from us."
"Wilfred for some reason you're making me really nervous." I said without even thinking first. Oh man why do I have to open my freaking mouth?
"Nervous?" Prince Wilfred turns his head back to me, "…" He didn't say anything after that which only made me very nervous again. His blue eyes were looking directly at my eyes that I flinched a little and took a step back.
"…um." My heart was beginning to pound heavily inside my chest. When Prince Wilfred hugged me earlier and kissed me on the cheek my heart that time too was pounding like crazy.
Prince Wilfred lips curls into a sweet, kind smile. "Why am I making you nervous, Lucian?"
"!" The way Prince Wilfred said my name surprised me. His voice was more seducing than the last time. Oh my gosh!
Funny, she's blushing, Prince Wilfred thought. It's really cute. He steps forward and offers his right hand out to me. "Please tell me why I'm making you nervous so that I won't do it again in the future."
"Why are you offering your hand out to me?" I asked as I took another step back. I don't like the way he acts right now.
"If you take my hand I'll be able to catch you without having to use my energy or even try to run after you." Prince Wilfred said. "Because it looks like you don't want to play this game of tag anymore."
"Why would I do that?" I said. I'm not gonna take his hand! "And I still do want to play this game." No in truth I don't want to play anymore.
"…" Prince Wilfred stares at me as he lowers his hand. "Is there something going in your head that you refused to take my hand, Lucian?"
"…" I didn't say anything as I took more steps back.
"Was it the kiss I gave you earlier?" Prince Wilfred asked and he took more steps towards me. "If it is you don't have to keep thinking about it. I used to always kiss you on the cheek when we were young remember and you always liked it when I kissed you."
"T-that was a long time ago, okay!" I said. What went into my head to like Wilfred's kiss?! Curse my childhood fantasy!
"Okay, let's end this game." Prince Wilfred said and the smile on his face disappears. "If we continue this and if you encounter Prince Keith his plan is to tackle you outside in the swimming pool."
"What!? Keith knows that I don't know how to swim!" I exclaimed. "What's wrong with that guy?!" Is he trying to make me hate him?! I don't want to hate any of the guys, they're my friends.
"Well if you don't want that to happen just give up and let me catch you."
"As if I'll do that, if you want to catch me then you better run after me first."
Really what a stubborn girl, Prince Wilfred thought. "Fine, and if I catch you I want a prize from you."
"Like what?"
"You'll know when I catch you." Prince Wilfred said and before I could say anything back he suddenly dashes towards me.
"!" Prince Wilfred was so fast that I barely manage to dodge him. He got serious!
"You better run if you don't want me to catch you easily, Lucian." Prince Wilfred said and his blue eyes are dead serious.
I quickly ran, and I didn't bother to look back since I knew that Prince Wilfred was already chasing after me. He only gets serious in a game if he wants something in return, something big in return!
I turn to the right corner of the hallway and I almost slip too. "Ah!" I quickly stop when I saw Prince Edward and Prince Glenn standing a few yards away from me. Shoot!
"Hm." Prince Glenn turns his head to the side towards my direction, "Oh, it's Lucian!"
I had no choice but to turn back, however Prince Wilfred was there running towards me. Damn it! I turned my head back to the two princes. I rather run towards them than towards Wilfred! He scares me a little when he's serious. So I decided to run towards Prince Glenn and Prince Edward instead.
I knew she was going to that, Prince Wilfred thought as he increases his speed and reaches out his hand.
"!" I felt a hand grab the back of my dress and I felt that I was being pulled back. Another hand snakes its way towards my waist and the other one around my shoulders. "!" My eyes widens when I felt Prince Wilfred's breathing hitting the back of my neck.
"I told you didn't I that I'll catch you no matter what." Prince Wilfred whispered between his panting.
And then I was lifted off my feet. "!" Prince Wilfred carried me like a princess in his arms with ease. "Hey, put me down!" I shouted.
"No." Prince Wilfred said, looking straight into my eyes.
"Hey good job Prince Wilfred", Prince Glenn said.
Prince Wilfred looks at Prince Glenn and Prince Edward "I'll be taking Lucian for now." He said and walks away.
"What?" Prince Glenn said, "Where?"
"Lucian and I have something to talk about first." Prince Wilfred said without even turning his head back to Prince Glenn.
~…X…~
*Slam*
Prince Wilfred has slammed the door shut with his foot. I looked around the room and I figured that we were in his room. While Prince Wilfred was walking down the hallway he placed me back on my feet and handcuffs me which shocked me before carrying me back in his arms. I asked him why he handcuffed me and he told me that he just felt like it. And so now I'm still handcuffed as he places me gently on the bed.
"Can you take this handcuff off of me?" I ask as I raise my hand up to his face.
"…" Prince Wilfred stared at me for a few seconds before removing the handcuff on my hand.
"Okay, I know that I didn't promise that I would give you a prize if you ever caught me but since you did what do you want?" I asked as I rubbed my wrist.
"Tell me why I make nervous." Prince Wilfred said and he got closer to me. "I don't like it if I'm making you nervous."
"Um…it's the way you act towards me." I said quietly and I look down. "You act all seductive and it's not like you…"
"…" Prince Wilfred softly smiled, "Is that all? Lucian I only did that because I thought you might like it. Didn't you like the way I acted towards you?"
"A little…but I'm not used to you acting like that."
"People change you know that, right?" Prince Wilfred said and he began to caress my cheek with his thumb which sends shivers down my spine.
"I-I know…" I said under my breath, I didn't slap his hand away from my face, for some reason my hand just refuses to move. I could feel my heart slowly beating faster and faster.
What Prince Wilfred did next surprised me; he suddenly placed his other hand on the back of my head and pulled me towards his face. "!" I didn't have time to react as he shoved his lips into mine. It was forceful yet at the same time it was gentle and sweet. I was too shocked that I didn't move. Prince Wilfred and I stayed like that for a few seconds but it felt like forever to me. When he finally pulled away from me he smiled.
"Sorry…your lips were tempting me." Prince Wilfred said in a soft yet seductive tone.
"T-that my first…." I said almost a mumble but Prince Wilfred was able to hear me and he let out a chuckle, and cupped my cheek with his hands, making me look up into his beautiful face.
"That wasn't your first kiss, Lucian." Prince Wilfred said a sweet voice which made me melt inside. "Your first kiss was when you were still a kid and I kissed you to make you stop crying because you didn't want me to leave you."
"I-I don't remember that…" I lowered my eyes, I couldn't look at Prince Wilfred straight in the eyes, and it was making me weak.
"It's fine if you don't remember." Prince Wilfred said and he smiled and started stroking my hair, swirling some strands of my hair with his fingers. Soft as a silk…
"Um…" I leaned back but Prince Wilfred just leans in. "W-wait Wil-iyaa!" Prince Wilfred has suddenly pushes my down on the bed and puts all his weight on me, "G-get off!" I shouted and I could feel my face burning like madly. I tried to push him off but he wouldn't budge. "Wilfred!" His freaking heavy! "Wilfred, get off you're heavy!"
"No." Prince Wilfred said and he locked his arms around my body. "Let me hold you just for few moments…"
"Ah…" I stop struggling in his arms when I heard him say those words to me. Even forgetting how heavy he was on top of me.
"Let me just hold you please…" Prince Wilfred buries his face on my chest which startled me.
"Wah!" My eyes grew at his sudden move but I didn't push him off. "H-hey, don't bury your face on my chest."
"Your heart is beating pretty loud." Prince Wilfred softly said and he took in a deep breath, ignoring what I just said to him.
"You're listening to my heart now?!"
"There's nothing wrong with listening to your heart," Prince Wilfred raises his head up towards me. "When I listen to your heart it calms me down…your heart beat is a beautiful sound to my ears." He softly smiles and kisses the top of my chest.
"Mn…" I closed my eyes as Prince Wilfred continues to kiss me. Why am I letting him do this to me? every kisses Prince Wilfred was giving me was like a burning sensation on my skin. He starts to move up on my neck, giving little kisses, and inside I was feeling those butterflies fluttering in my stomach…I was beginning to feel hot the more Prince Wilfred kisses me. I moved my neck back a little when Prince Wilfred started licking my neck. It was one of my weak spot of my body and the only person that knows this was Prince Wilfred because he used to always poke my neck when we were kids and he was the cause of my weak spot.
Prince Wilfred slowly pulls away, putting his arms on my sides to support his weight and now his face was hovering over mine. "Do you want to know something?" He said and he smiled.
"What?" I said as I place both my hands on top of my chest.
"I know every weak spots on your body." Prince Wilfred said and the smile grew on his face.
"What?!" I exclaimed. He knows every weak spots of my body?! This completely shocked me. "What are you?! A stalker?!"
Prince Wilfred laughs, "No. I know it since we were young, silly. If you want some proof I'll show you."
"What! No thanks!" I shouted and push Prince Wilfred off to the side.
"I was just kidding." Prince Wilfred said and he grabs me by the arms and pulls me close to him. Now I'm laying my back on his front, his arms wrapped around my waist. "You know if I were you, you would let me go." I said.
"Why would I do that?" Prince Wilfred asked.
"If someone opens that door and sees us like this they'll think that we have something going on between us."
"We already do have something, Lucian." Prince Wilfred said and he kisses the top of my head.
"Since when?!" I asked, looking up at him. Stop kissing me!
"Since a few minutes ago and when we were young we had something too."
"Hey I'm not the fast relationship type person, Wilfred!"
"But you admit that we do have something going on between us, right?" Prince Wilfred said as he pulls me up higher on his front body.
"I never said anything!"
"The kiss was a proof that you accepted me."
"You kissed me first remember and besides we just met each other today again."
"Okay, fine. But we still have something going on between us and since you don't like the fast relationship we'll start out as being friends." Prince Wilfred said.
"We already passed that stage, Wilfred." I said and I took a hold of his hands from my waist, "A long time ago."
"Hm…Lucian, will you go out with me?" Prince Wilfred asked, almost like a whisper on my ear.
"Go out? What?!" Why is he asking this so suddenly?! "Hey what's wrong with you?! Asking me out so suddenly?!" I pulled myself up from Prince Wilfred but he pulled me back down again. "Hey! Knock it off!" I'm starting to get pissed that Prince Wilfred is this stubborn.
"I want this as my prize for catching you, Lucian."
"Wilfred, I thought your prize was the question and the kiss? And no I won't go out with you if this is the prize you wanted for catching me. I'm not an object. So please let go of me." I like Prince Wilfred but if this is what he wanted he could at least do it in a right place and at the right time. Being in this position and him asking me out is not really something I like.
"…I understand." Prince Wilfred said and his grip on me loosen. "I'm sorry for asking you and I shouldn't have pushed it."
I sat up on the bed and turned my body around to Prince Wilfred. "Ah." My heart was suddenly in pain, it was like a sharp knife stabbing straight into my heart when I saw his expression; Prince Wilfred was looking down on the bed with a sad expression. Oh no, I didn't meant to make him look like that, I bit my lower lips and now I feel guilty. "Wilfred I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you-"
"It's fine, Lucian." Prince Wilfred looks up and gave me a smile. I knew that he was forcing himself to smile which made me felt even guiltier. "We could still be friends, right?"
Please don't look at me like that Wilfred…."Wilfred, do you really like me?" I asked. I need to know something first before I say yes to him.
"Huh?" Prince Wilfred blinked, surprised that I asked him this question.
"Do you like me and please be honest with me."
"I-I do like you…very much." Prince Wilfred said quietly and he looks away. He was blushing which was cute. "Since we were young I've always loved you…"
Wilfred always loved me….that's…I don't know what to say, I thought. It definitely made me happy that Prince Wilfred said this out loud to me.
"If you were to ask me again on the right time and place I might say yes." I said.
"Really?" Prince Wilfred looks back at me and that sadness in his eyes were gone and was replaced with hopes and happiness.
"Yes." I gave him a kind smile, telling him that I'm not lying to him. "Sorry I didn't say yes to you at this time. We are just not in the right situation for you to ask me out."
Prince Wilfred smiled happily and suddenly tackles me on the bed. "Whoa!"
"Let me hug you some more." Prince Wilfred said as he snuggles his head on my chest.
"H-Hey!" I don't know what my face looks like right now but I definitely know that I'm blushing.
Prince Wilfred and I stayed in that position for a few minutes and I waited for him to get off but all I got was a soft breathing from Prince Wilfred. "Wilfred?" I said and I looked down. "…ah…" What I saw melted my heart. Prince Wilfred was sleeping soundly on my chest and I couldn't help but smile as I looked at his handsome face. He looks so innocent when he's asleep. "Sheesh." I let out a small sighed before rising my right hand up towards Prince Wilfred's hair and began softly stroking his hair between my fingers. "What did you do yesterday to tire yourself out like this?" I expected no response from Prince Wilfred but he softly spoke.
"I had a lot of paperwork to do last night and I didn't finish until midnight came."
"You were awake the whole time?"
"No, I was sleeping until you started stroking my hair." Prince Wilfred mumbles, too tired to speak out loud.
"Oh, well I'll stop so you can go back to sleep." I was about to lift my hand up but then Prince Wilfred has grab my hand, pulling my hand back down.
"No, please keep doing it. I like it."
I chuckled a little before continuing to stroke Prince Wilfred's hair. "Go back to sleep, I'll wake you up."
"You're not going to leave after I fall asleep are you?"
"I won't leave. I promise."
"Thank you, Lucian." Prince Wilfred softly said, and he snuggles once more on my chest. It didn't take long for Prince Wilfred to drift off to sleep. I find it very cute when Prince Wilfred is asleep, even before he was always cute, always sleeping next to me on the same bed, cuddling with me as well. "Hm." I smiled and softly kissed Prince Wilfred on the head. "Sweet dreams."
I hope that I'll be able to see this sleeping face of Prince Wilfred more in the future. His sweet, adorable face just melts my heart. It brings me happiness and joy.
