Space Outlaw and Space Princess
CH 4
Princesses POV
She sat on her windows sill, staring out into the distance. She had no lessons, no meetings, nothing. It was the first time in a while where she had nothing going on. She jumped slightly when she heard her doorknob rattling, grabbing her hair brush as a weapon. Jake busted through her door wearing the most ridiculous maids uniform she had ever seen. She doubled over in laughter, her whole frame shaking.
"This was the only way I could see you," he explained, a faint blush touching his cheeks. He coughed suddenly, using his hand to cover his face.
"See me? What for?" she questioned.
"To take you on another date," he smiled, slipping back in cool and thought for a moment, clasping her hands together in front of her.
"I'd love to."
After they'd returned to the meadow, which was glistening with dew illuminated by the afternoon sun, they both stretched in the warmth it provided, the sun feeling inviting after the dank gray walls of the castle. The way the beams refracted off the pond water reminded her vaguely of the large stained glass panel in the castle, one of the most beautiful pieces in the entire castle. She tore her gaze away from the dancing lights, to see Jake staring at her with a small smile on his face. She looked at him with questions in her eyes, but no words were spoken. He took a hesitant step towards her, his eyes locked on hers. She was sure her heart was skipping beats, the ends of her fingers and her antenna feeling numb. He kept coming closer, his warmth radiating like a furnace. She looked up at him, before quickly looking back down, his searing gaze numbing. She felt his calloused fingers slide underneath her chin, and slowly tilting her face upwards until she was staring straight into his eyes. Right when she felt like her heart was going to explode, his lips finally met hers in a quick embrace, before parting, leaving nothing but cold air wafting across her face.
